History
Fall of the previous Emperor Demon
The previous Emperor Demon's sudden death triggered a struggle among the realm's major clans. Mutual suspicion and competing claims to the throne escalated into widespread fighting, prompting Cai Se, Meng Niu, and Bai Yuan to flee to the Human Realm for refuge. 339
Under the Dragon Emperor, the conflict intensified: clans burned, looted, and killed freely, weaker groups were forced into submission or resistance, and entire clans disappeared. 349
End of the Dragon Emperor's rule
After the Dragon Emperor's death, the former Emperor Demon Lang Yuehong learned that the realm had endured more than a century of turmoil but had regained peace through the Demon Lord's intervention. 385
Lang Yuehong offered Ning Yechen the position of ruler, but he refused. Hu Shan argued that, despite Ning Yechen's strength and aid, his identity as a member of the Demon Race would make voluntary submission difficult for much of the realm. 386
Cai Se's enthronement
Cai Se was enthroned at the Imperial Demon Capital before representatives from nearly every clan. Rather than immediately taking the Emperor Demon Jade Seal, she publicly swore to maintain peace and care for all beings in the realm. 405
Alignment with the Demon Lord
Following the realm's internal recovery, Chaos threatened it while it remained vulnerable from the recent unrest. Assistance from Chi Huan and other Demon Race forces stabilized the situation. In return, Cai Se declared that the realm would willingly develop under the Demon Race's assistance and revere the Demon Lord as its supreme leader. 550
Cai Se later attended the gathering at Eternal Night Sovereign City, where the inhabited realms paid homage to Ning Yechen as Lord of the Six Realms. 602

- Major clans hold substantial independent power, and the absence of a widely accepted successor after the Dragon Emperor's death was a central threat to stability. 386
- The realm's earlier political culture was shaped by violent succession struggles; Lang Yuehong described defeat as equivalent to death. 385
- Cai Se's reign is explicitly founded on preserving peace after the Dragon Emperor's destructive rule. 349 405
