Background / History
The Shi Kingdom destroyed the Jin Kingdom through a surprise attack during a national war. At that time, Shi possessed three God King-level powerhouses, while Jin had only King Jin; Jin’s collapse created a lasting enmity between the two kingdoms’ surviving interests. 365 448
Over subsequent years, Shi expanded rapidly, reaching five God Kings and more than one hundred Chaos Rulers. Its growth, military buildup, and repeated border clashes with the Yu Kingdom made it one of the Origin Continent’s significant Eternal Kingdoms. 458 469 519
The kingdom maintained ties to the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. Its ruler, the Tian Kun Kingdom Lord, had gained favor from Yan Feng’s higher echelons through his culinary skills, giving Shi political protection and access to a higher-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline. 498 664 725
Military Operations
Huyang City Campaign
Shi operated resistance forces inside Yu territory, using Flowing Sand Valley and the Blood Python Society as bases. Its forces initiated thirty-seven conflicts to exhaust Huyang City’s legions, disperse the Ten Great Legions, and prepare a surprise seizure of the City Lord’s Mansion. 465 470
Flowing Sand Marquis led Shi’s operations around Huyang City and attempted to recruit Luo Shen, believing that securing him would reduce Yu’s ability to obtain outside support. Luo Shen refused to join Shi. 462 475
Shi later attacked Huyang City through major assaults at the East and West City Gates, while using the North and South Gates as feints. Luo Shen’s intervention devastated its legions and prevented the city’s capture. 489 491 494
Invasion of the Yu Kingdom
After the Yu Kingdom Lord was injured during a failed breakthrough, Shi launched a full-scale invasion across the border. Its strategy was to pressure Yu territory and force the Yu Kingdom Lord into a decisive confrontation. 509 659 665
Shi’s armies captured more than thirty large cities and seven Chaos Provinces early in the invasion. The Tian Kun Kingdom Lord deliberately avoided attacking Huyang City and Jiujiang Chaos Province while Luo Shen was present there. 665
Luo Shen later intervened on Yu’s behalf, using World Power to cover fifteen invaded Chaos Provinces and ordering Shi’s legions and Chaos Rulers to withdraw. 666 667 668

Territory and Society
- Shi controlled more than 150 Chaos Provinces even after Luo Shen received twenty provinces from its territory. 726
- Its large cities were comparatively prosperous and secure; Guo Yi City, a border metropolis, was guarded by two Chaos Rulers. 708
- Shi’s urban centers supported distinctive restaurants, music, and dances. Feng Yue Tower helped make one outer city among the kingdom’s most prosperous, second only to Shi Capital. 708
- The Tian Kun Kingdom Lord’s bloodline cultivation relied on devouring living beings. Wilderness tribes were periodically captured as food, while annexation wars could involve the consumption of entire royal capitals and mass slaughter. 710
- Heavy taxation, continual expansion, and the seizure of wilderness populations were linked to sustaining Tian Kun’s cultivation and Shi’s military ambitions. 710
Fall and Annexation
Luo Shen’s Abyss Clone killed Tian Kun, Moluo, and the Ancestor of Blade Demons through willpower secret arts. Their true bodies remained intact, but their spiritual wills were annihilated, preventing reincarnation. 722 724
With its three Kingdom Lords dead, Shi became leaderless. Its surviving God Kings split: Liu Yu accepted Luo Shen’s offer to join the Abyss Sect, while Ku Feng fled rather than submit. 724 725
Shi’s vacant territory attracted the Silver Moon God King, the Han Kingdom Lord, and other outside powers. Luo Shen deployed five clones, suppressed the kingdom with World Power, and declared that the entire Shi Kingdom would belong to the Abyss Sect. 726 727
After defeating the rival claimants, Luo Shen assigned Liu Yu, the Primal Ancestor, Mountain Lord, and former Refining Treasure Sect personnel to manage the territorial handover. The Abyss Sect completed the annexation and controlled nearly two hundred Chaos Provinces in total. 731 732
