Background / History

Kyoto is the Human Race’s central region, with An City serving as its capital. It is a prosperous concentration of people, resources, cultivators, and divine artifacts, making it both a vital stronghold and a prime target for Demonic Creatures and Ghosts. The Tang Family Mansion is located in An City. 73 270 321

The city’s political balance shifts after the Tang Family publicly gains the protection of its supposedly reclusive “Golden Core Invincible” ancestor. The claim—backed by Prince Yinjiang’s death—makes Kyoto’s factions seek ties with the Tang Family and sharply expands the family’s wealth and influence. 222 254

Kyoto later suffers a severe security crisis as the Angel Race and Merman Race stir unrest and large numbers of Demonic Creatures and Ghosts converge on the region. Villages and towns are massacred, many of Kyoto’s divine defenders are wounded or killed, and the Sun Patrol Division, Night Watch Division, and local factions struggle to maintain order. 259 270 321

Song Ankang’s emergence as the Nine Peaks Sword God transforms Kyoto’s situation. His demon-slaying campaign makes the region dramatically safer, earns him worship as a guardian deity, and establishes him as Kyoto’s strongest concealed protector. 271 324

Population and Civic Life

Subject Details
Refugee admission policy During the crisis, An City admits Human Race refugees who pass divine-formation inspection; an earlier imperial decree prioritizes youths under sixteen and women with children under three. 328
Tang Family relief The Tang Family takes in several thousand refugees, including many housed within Tang Family Mansion. 328
Fengcheng evacuation Song Ankang escorts 700,000 Fengcheng citizens safely to Kyoto without casualties. 358
Population surge The population within and around Kyoto rises from roughly 5 million to about 15 million after refugees from four breached cities arrive. 381
Food crisis The influx forces Kyoto to ration food; Song Ankang sells demon and ghost corpses to the Imperial Court at a reduced price, while local factions contribute stored supplies. 381
Song’s Workshop The workshop expands from 3,000 to 30,000 workers in one month during the refugee crisis and later exceeds 300,000 workers, becoming the Kyoto region’s largest pill shop. 328 440
Return migration Once the region stabilizes, more than half of the civilians sheltering in and around Kyoto return to their hometowns. 452

Defenses and Governance

Imperial Court

  • Kyoto remains publicly governed by the Imperial Court, which oversees the Imperial City, the Secret Treasury, the Sun Patrol Division, and the Night Watch Division. 270 419
  • The Sun Patrol Division is responsible for order during the day, while the Night Watch Division traditionally handles nighttime order; during the crisis, both operate continuously against demonic threats. 270
  • Zhang Xin Fang, Wang Xin Jing, and Ding Song He repeatedly coordinate Kyoto’s emergency defenses and seek the Nine Peaks Sword God’s aid. 326 394

Kyoto Divine Formation Group

  • Kyoto is protected by the Kyoto Divine Formation Group, a colossal defensive network built over several thousand years. 396
  • Its recorded structure includes a three-digit number of divine formations, a four-digit number of spirit formations, and more than several hundred thousand mortal formations. 396
  • The formation group can detect concealed Demonic Creatures and Ghosts, restrain infiltrators, and channel power sufficient for its controller to contend with Sixth-Grade True Immortals. 396 397
  • Furi Mountain’s assault severely damages both the Kyoto and Imperial City formation groups; the Imperial City’s formation group is left more than half destroyed. 392
  • Song Ankang later thoroughly masters the Kyoto Divine Formation Group and can forcibly assume control of it with Stone Human Blood Array’s assistance. 419

Secret Control

  • While the Imperial Court rules openly, Song Ankang secretly builds a network of enslaved and controlled Demonic Creatures and Ghosts throughout and beyond Kyoto. 388 419
  • More than 90% of the Great God-level Demonic Creatures and Ghosts around Kyoto become his servants. 388
  • At the height of this hidden network, Song Ankang considers the region within roughly 2,000 li of Kyoto to be within his protection, though he later favors concentrating his defenses closer to the city. 419
  • By Song Ankang’s own assessment, Kyoto has secretly become his territory despite its continued public rule by the Imperial Court. 419

Major Crises and Arcs

Chapter(s) Event Outcome

321 326 Loss of Kyoto’s defenders — Kyoto is left without a Middle God capable of fighting after its remaining defender is killed. Zhang Xin Fang, Wang Xin Jing, and Ding Song He ask the Nine Peaks Sword God to become Kyoto’s guardian; he refuses the office but agrees to remain nearby and handle threats for appropriate rewards.
