Background / History
Material Star Realm expansion
The Evil Tide Civilization emerged as an extreme expansionist power whose mutation and growth eventually drew rejection from the Star Realm itself. It crossed starfields through dedicated Evil Tide Passages, demonized conquered worlds, and accumulated the legacies, populations, and military methods of defeated civilizations. Its historic rise produced five recorded Level-9 Beings. 1748 2625
For more than 100,000 years, it selected vulnerable Top-Level Civilizations—particularly those whose Level-9 Beings had recently departed the Star Realm—and annexed them at an accelerating rate. Its first such conquest required over 30,000 years, its second 20,000, and its third 12,000; it later maintained an average pace of roughly one annexed Top-Level Civilization per 10,000 years. 5107
The Undying Supreme's calculation and perception abilities were central to this strategy. Rather than blindly assaulting every opponent, the civilization identified weakened targets, avoided costly fronts when necessary, and sought faster routes to continued expansion. 2625 5107
The civilization ultimately won the Dimensional Hegemony in the Material Star Realm. Its withdrawal afterward was conducted publicly and methodically, though its leaders still had to deter hostile civilizations from exploiting the transition. At that time, it retained more than 400 Dominators. 4253
Migration to higher dimensions
After leaving the Material Star Realm, the Evil Tide Civilization entered Demon Cave Time-Space. The environment's demonic and negative-rule attributes were highly compatible with its constitution, but the region was also consumed by unstable rules, Time-Space Rifts, violent energy currents, and attacks from native powers. 5567
Its first 100,000 years in Demon Cave Time-Space were a prolonged survival period. Many citizens suffered mental erosion under the chaotic rules, and the civilization repeatedly approached racial extinction before adapting to the environment and establishing a stable habitat. 5567
From its 100,000th to 200,000th year there, it entered a golden age of expansion. Demon Cave Time-Space's dense demonic Rule Factors became cultivation resources rather than hazards, allowing the civilization to rise into the ranks of local Super Powers. 5567
A Level-13 Lord of Dimension in Demon Cave Time-Space later emerged as a major threat. The Lord had monitored the civilization since its early weakness and harbored hostility toward it as an outsider force. 5567
Rebuilding Demon Cave Time-Space
The Evil Tide Civilization cooperated with Saine and the Mechanical Civilization to merge its origin with Demon Cave Time-Space's origin. This weakened the Demon Cave Master's influence while causing Evil Tide Purple Qi to resonate with surviving local rules. 5820
Following the war, it began receiving exiled civilizations, suppressing unstable rifts, establishing observation nodes, and rebuilding order across ruined star sectors. These accepted peoples are collectively called the Remnant Fire Tribes. 5846
The Remnant Fire policy serves both humanitarian and strategic purposes: it provides endangered civilizations a route to survival while supplying the Evil Tide Civilization with population, vassals, and future grassroots strength. Suitable groups may still be demonized and integrated into its order. 5846
Power Structure
| Rank / Group | Position and known details |
|---|---|
| Supreme Demon Ancestors | The historical apex of the civilization: Undying Supreme, Demon Fall Supreme, and Secluded Bamboo Supreme. Their consensus enables unified civilizational action. 2625 2456 |
| Demon Ancestors | High-ranking Dominators beneath the Supremes; Level-8 Peak figures such as Candela Demon Ancestor can command major expeditionary forces. 2625 |
| Devil Emperors | Level-7 to Level-8 Dominators. A powerful Devil Emperor may independently lead a war across a large star region; stronger Devil Emperors can command weaker ones. 3804 |
| Level-6 Demon Emperors | Level-6 beings are also recorded as bearing the title “Demon Emperor,” including the Purple Flame Demon Emperor. 3804 |
| Devil Kings | Level-4 to Level-5 creatures. 3804 |
| Demon Generals | Level-3 creatures. 3804 |
| Demon Commanders | Level-2 creatures; the practical grassroots command layer that directs Demon Soldiers and demonized creatures. 3804 |
| Demon Soldiers | Level-1 creatures. 3804 |
| Hybrid Demonized Creatures | The most numerous military population; infected Astral Realm beings reduced to the civilization's rank-and-file claws and fangs. 3804 |
The civilization is strictly hierarchical and strength determines status. Even a Level-6 Peak combatant may be killed without consequence if a Dominator-class superior chooses to do so. 4291
The Pure-Blooded Demon Race remains the ruling population. Demonized races from conquered civilizations are treated as second-class citizens, despite accounting for more than 70% of the lower-level population after the civilization's vast expansion. 3064 3804
Abilities & Warfare
Evil Tide Assimilation
Evil Tide Assimilation is the civilization's foundational method of conquest. It spreads demonic traits through creatures, worlds, and entire societies, allowing conquered populations to become part of the Evil Tide's military and social structure. 2625 5107
- Infection is generally gradual rather than instantaneous; purple marks and Evil Tide moss can produce subtle negative effects before full demonization occurs. 3832
- Once a world's rules are thoroughly rewritten, newly born lifeforms develop obvious Evil Tide traits and obey higher-ranking Evil Tide creatures. 3755
- Demonization can absorb even foreign Dominators, who may become Devil Emperors and gain increased Combat Power. 3804 5539
- Conquered worlds can be remade into demonized worlds where Evil Tide forces receive effects comparable to Mother Plane Blessing Power. 1596
Evil Tide Hearts
Evil Tide Hearts, or Evil Hearts, are the energy cores of Evil Tide creatures. They are crystals containing exceptionally dense power. 1771
- Once their demonic strange power is removed, their performance and value can exceed Wizard Civilization Energy Essence and Immortal Domain Immortal Jade. 1771
- Pure bloodline and possession of an Evil Tide Heart are the defining criteria for membership in the Pure-Blooded Demon Race. 850
- The Undying Supreme possesses a functional Civilization Supreme Treasure in the form of a purple Evil Tide Heart that strengthens Evil Tide Power and reinforces nearby legions and Dominators. 4624
Interstellar Evil Tide Passages
The civilization uses immense purple vortices as interstellar expedition passages. These passages allow its forces to traverse dozens or even hundreds of starfields during campaigns. 1748
- The vortices possess a strange, seemingly living aura capable of disturbing ordinary minds. 1748
- A passage can connect directly to the consciousness of a high-ranking commander, as seen with Candela Demon Ancestor. 1748
- Vanguard forces commonly conduct reconnaissance before Dominators descend, reflecting a more cautious expansion doctrine against unknown regions. 2138
Adaptive warfare and resource utilization
Evil Tide forces adapt readily to unusual rule environments and incorporate military methods seized from conquered civilizations. 2397 3780
- Fallen enemies and even deceased Evil Tide creatures may be processed to replenish demonic energy or grant survivors new abilities. 255
- The civilization fields demonized technology fleets inherited from the destroyed Battleship Armor Civilization. 3780
- It deploys demonized ancient-tree forces derived from the Fallen Leaf Civilization. 3780
- Its armies can use sheer legion scale to pressure or hunt Dominator-class opponents. 2645
- Purple Colony Demon Emperor's support powers can raise nearby combatants by entire minor realms and drastically enhance lower-level troops. 1983

Trivia
- The Pure-Blooded Demon Race includes hundreds of millions of forms and is not limited to humanoid devils. 850
- Pure-Blooded Demon Race members are generally born at Level 1 and can reach Level 2 with limited training; their reproduction and maturation rates are unusually high. 3804
- While lower-level Evil Tide creatures are often driven by destruction, mutation, and irrationality, most Dominator-level members are described as highly rational. 2625
- The civilization's expansion strategy became less indiscriminate after entering higher dimensions, partly due to its earlier experience trading territory for resources during the Dimensional Hegemony. 658
