Society and Systems

Divine Realm Players and Retinues

The civilization is built around Divine Realm Players, whose personal Divine Realms support Retinues, Faith Power, Divinity, and advancement through the divine hierarchy. Its military strength comes largely from Players summoning and commanding vast Retinue forces across different planes. 1380

• A Civilization Will can bind a soul to an undeveloped Divine Realm territory and incorporate that lifeform into the Divine Realm Player system. 1330
• Han Wu received ten such quotas and used them to elevate members of his Retinue—including Iron Cutting Sword Wind, Jingjing, Divine Hammer, and V—into Divine Realm Players. 1330
• Players can develop through training territories classified by rank, ranging from Divine Being-level regions to Sovereign-level outer civilizations. 790
• Under Han Wu's later reforms, Players gain access to a new Divine Body cultivation method and an institution that plunders abilities from captured lifeforms for redistribution. 1396

Faith-Based Power

Faith Power is the civilization's fundamental source of advancement: it produces Divinity, which supports the progression from Divine Being to God King. 1380

Han Wu's ascension to Overgod demonstrates that mass faith can exceed the established system's limits. The Divine Realm Civilization Will contributed half of its Origin Power to stabilize his breakthrough. 1382

Civilization Wills

The Divine Realm Civilization Will manages permissions and can communicate with Players across the civilization. Former Wills no longer govern directly, but retain responsibility for supervising the civilization's development. 1295

• The former Will used its authority to pressure Players into declaring loyalty, gaining control over the Retinues and lives of those who accepted. 1293
• After losing a Covenant of the End judgment, the former Will's permissions were stripped and a new Divine Realm Civilization Will was born. 1314
• The newly born Will initially lacked full mastery of its inherited permissions but later coordinated defenses, Player quotas, diplomacy, and reconstruction. 1314 1330 1339

Territory and Defenses

• Protective Crystal Walls — Conceal the civilization's location from distant enemies; their exposure allowed hostile civilizations to locate it for a revenge invasion. 1314
• Multi-Dimensional Magic Cube Matrix — Emergency defense system that compressed the civilization's territory into eighteen layers of Magic Cube Worlds, reducing its target size while strengthening the Crystal Wall. 1315
• Divine Realms — Personal life-bound territories used by Players to cultivate Retinues, store resources, and receive or repel invading forces. 1330
• Outer-realm portals — Stable portals enable long-term expansion and trade, but can also expose a Player's Divine Realm Core to counterattack. 54
• Heavenly Ladder Civilization territory — Following Han Wu's conquest, its vast territory became a potential leased training and development area for other Divine Realm Players. 1364

History

Expansion and External Reputation

The Divine Realm Civilization developed through expansion into outer realms, often seeking stable portals and long-term profits from promising civilizations. 54 Its reliance on external resources gave it a poor reputation among other civilizations; one account states that less than five percent of the resources needed to develop its Retinues came from its own territory. 1174

The Sea of Chaotic Stars was historically part of the Divine Realm Civilization. A previous ruling Will severed its route home after judging that it consumed too many resources, while Guixu was created to sacrifice lifeforms there for energy benefiting Players within the main civilization. 1286

Fall of the Former Will

The former Divine Realm Civilization Will gradually became hostile toward Han Wu, attempting to limit his growth and using Players' lives as leverage to secure obedience. 1168 1178 1293

The Wisdom God King Xu Hai invoked the Covenant of the End to challenge its rule. Although the Will initially held overwhelming public support, the final contest ended in a 4–3 victory for Han Wu's side, stripping the Will of its permissions. 1296 1314

In desperation, the former Will opened the Crystal Walls from within and broadcast the civilization's coordinates to its enemies. Han Wu and the Destruction God King killed it, allowing a new Civilization Will to form. 1314

Vengeful Invasion

The exposed coordinates drew dozens of civilizations into the Divine Realm Civilization's territory. The new Will activated the Multi-Dimensional Magic Cube Matrix, while God Kings were assigned to defend the Crystal Walls. 1315

The situation worsened when the Heavenly Ladder Civilization deployed a fleet armed with Great Thousand World-level shells. The bombardment destroyed an outer Crystal Wall layer, while outer-realm invaders breached the defensive faces and slaughtered many Divine Realm Players. 1348

The civilization endured attacks from more than one hundred civilizations. Han Wu's Retinues, empowered with Wind Plane bodies, eventually drove the remaining outer-realm invaders away in half a day. 1355 1358

Reconstruction and Reform

Following the invasion, the Destruction God King convened a reconstruction conference at Imperial Capital Academy. The civilization compiled a list of invading civilizations for retaliation, while Han Wu claimed responsibility for the Heavenly Ladder and Shenhe Civilizations. 1359

The civilization entered a period of rapid growth as retaliation brought in new resources and the new Will gained increasingly refined permissions. 1365 Han Wu later promoted subspace training, Plane Power research, Divine Body cultivation, and ability-plundering institutions to restore and surpass the civilization's former average strength. 1396

Military Doctrine

• Mass Retinue warfare — Divine Realm Players can activate their Divine Realms and deploy Retinues in enormous numbers. 1340
• Rank-matched defense — During the Crystal Wall crisis, invaders were distributed into Players' Divine Realms according to lifeform grade, allowing Divine Beings through Sovereigns to confront enemies suited to their level. 1330
• God King deployment — God Kings defend the Crystal Walls against Earth Annihilation-grade and higher invaders, including Lesser, Middle, and Great Thousand World-level opponents. 1330
• Retinue elevation — Outstanding Retinues can be granted Divine Realm Player status, increasing the civilization's pool of independent high-level combatants. 1330 1359
• Plane-body forces — Han Wu's Retinues used Wind Plane bodies that resisted most attacks, enabling them to ambush and eliminate outer-realm invaders. 1358

Relationships

• Heavenly Ladder Civilization — Long-term enemy; the Divine Realm Civilization invaded it through a route opened by Han Wu's Tower of Death, later endured its fleet assault, and ultimately saw Han Wu conquer it. 582 1348 1364
• Outer Realm Civilizations — Major source of resources, conflict, and retaliation; many civilizations united for the Vengeful Invasion after the Divine Realm Civilization's coordinates were exposed. 1174 1314
• Abi Civilization — Its powerhouses sought admission into the Divine Realm Civilization after experiencing the comforts of a Player's Divine Realm, though Han Wu regarded their leaders cautiously. 1334
• Xiba Civilization — Attempted to acquire the weakened Divine Realm Civilization under the guise of offering assistance. 1336 1338
• Unknown Civilizations — Emerging threat beyond the Known Civilizations; Han Wu encouraged Players with Plane abilities to train in a dedicated subspace against their lifeforms. 1359 1396
• Sea of Chaotic Stars — A former part of the civilization whose connection was deliberately severed by a past ruling Will. 1286
