Background / History
Wan Teng originated in the Black Domain as a newly established faction founded by Su Ming 71 95. Rather than engaging in cutthroat isolation, Su Ming cleverly united the major factions of the Black Domain by distributing 0.5% shares to over ninety factions, binding their collective interests to the survival and prosperity of Wan Teng 95.
After eliminating competing local forces like the Xiso Family and purging small gene potion workshops, Wan Teng secured a total monopoly over the lucrative gene potion market in the Black Domain 97 99 103. Capitalizing on its immense wealth, Wan Teng purchased Planet X-29, renaming it Wan Teng Planet, and aggressively expanded its production capacity and research facilities 103 104.
Wan Teng transitioned into a technological and military powerhouse after forming strategic ties and alliances with the major human cosmic nations, particularly the Empire and the Eastern Nether Alliance 189. By developing innovations like the Entropy Matter Cultivation Method and utilizing Life Sublimation Devices, Wan Teng democratized cultivation, breaking talent barriers and attracting millions of elites, soldiers, and scholars to its star domain 189 286.
Following major victories against the Void Civilization and the Crystal Civilization, Wan Teng grew into a massive cosmic hegemony and a hub of interstellar civilization 182 307 335. It established a thousand-fold time-dilation star field within its borders, allowing it to rapidly cultivate advanced technologies, unprecedented cultivation paths, and thousands of Apocalypse-level experts before openly clashing and proving its supremacy against the Empire's main legions 396 414.
