Background / History

Yi Chen first built his power base within the Flame Mountain Tribe. After joining the tribe, he became its central military figure and treated its talented members as the foundation for his future conquest and expansion. His ambition extended beyond Flame Mountain to ruling Exile Planet, the stars, and the Great Sea 16 17 52.

The tribe later relocated to Royal City and was renamed the Great Flame Kingdom. Although Yi Chen avoided most ceremonies and often remained in seclusion to cultivate and create Law Runes, no official doubted that the state ultimately belonged to him 221.

When the Human Federation intended to submit to the Earth Tree Race and compel the kingdom to do the same, Yi Chen chose to abandon Exile Planet rather than submit. He transported the population away with the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, intending to establish a new foundation on another Life Planet and eventually return to confront the Human Federation 341.

The population was transferred to Crimson Planet through a Teleportation Array, where Yi Chen established a Large Defense Array around the Great Mountain. The General Political Department stabilized the newly arrived state, now referred to as the Great Flame Empire 342. Yi Chen later explicitly confirmed that the Great Flame Kingdom had been renamed 439.

Government and Society

Rule of Yi Chen

Yi Chen is the empire's absolute sovereign. Major decisions require his approval, and his attitude is regarded as the core principle behind imperial policy 482 483.

• Yi Chen delegates ordinary governance to the General Political Department, often focusing instead on cultivation and Law Rune creation 221.
• Senior officials depend on Yi Chen's recognition to secure their authority, regardless of their internal political standing 221.
• The Military and General Political Department jointly formulate major plans, but Yi Chen retains final approval 483.

Citizenship and conquered races

The empire uses status, military merit, and cultivation access to integrate other races.

• Former Ferocious Beast Army members joined as Second-Class Citizens; some leaders received dual identities as both rulers of their own races and imperial citizens or nobles 383.
• Conquered races generally surrender their territorial sovereignty, though they may retain limited governing authority within assigned garrisons 487 788.
• The empire's early policies were considered substantially more lenient than those of the Undying Race, particularly toward vassal races and surrendered forces 487 611.
• After conquering the Supercluster, imperial decrees classify races as vassals, first-class, second-class, or third-class 846.

Military Capabilities

Rapid troop deployment

The empire can mass and reposition armies over extreme distances with exceptional speed, allowing it to surround enemy lairs before conventional reconnaissance can react 551 552.

• Uses Flying Magic Treasures, Large Warships, Transport Ships, Teleportation Arrays, and Space Cracks for strategic movement 496 735 736.
• Yi Chen's Weapon Forging allows large quantities of Space Stones to be refined into usable Flying Magic Treasures, enabling widespread deployment among Human soldiers 735.
• The ability to move billions of troops rapidly is considered one of the empire's most dangerous strategic advantages 552 723.

Human Army ranged attacks

The Human Army is the empire's principal battlefield force despite its comparatively limited population.

• Soldiers wield powerful wide-area Law attacks that can be launched continuously with low Spiritual Power expenditure 554.
• One million Human soldiers could withstand, and potentially annihilate, vastly larger same-level armies if those armies lacked powerful assault forces 554.
• By the Supercluster campaign, ordinary Human soldiers had reached Heavenly Immortal Stage Level 1, or Level 140, and could defeat stronger opponents individually 783.
• The army's average realm later reaches Level 160 before the decisive war against the Coalition 831.

Assassination forces

The empire deploys elite teams to eliminate commanders, Supreme Experts, and other high-value targets before or during major campaigns.

• Its assassination capability relies on concealed Flying Magic Treasures, powerful Divine Sense, teleportation, and coordinated elite combatants 559 609.
• The force rapidly wiped out a Level 130 Giant Ant Race Clan Leader and dozens of Level 120 officials, compelling the remaining races of the Sixteen Races Alliance to surrender 572.
• In the Supercluster, Yi Chen, the Shadow Emperor, and allied elites use the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to trap and eliminate the Three Races Elders 828.

Blessed Grotto Heavens

The Blessed Grotto Heavens are the foundation of the empire's extraordinary cultivation growth.

• Yi Chen designed them to break the limits imposed by ordinary talent and accelerate the average strength of the entire population 375.
• The first three generations were opened to large-scale cultivation by both Human and Shadow Race members 690.
• Later generations further increase cultivation efficiency and time flow, enabling the empire's forces to advance rapidly before each new expansion 735 792.

Strategic Assets

• Mountains and Rivers State Diagram — Used by Yi Chen to transport the population away from Exile Planet and to trap enemy powerhouses during assassination operations 341 828.
• Flying Magic Treasures — Personal troop transports widely issued to Human soldiers; some can shield perception and conceal elite operations 609 735.
• Large Warships and Transport Ships — Used for long-distance travel, warp jumps, and transporting Flying Magic Treasures through space 496 735.
• Teleportation Arrays — Used to relocate the population to Crimson Planet and support rapid military deployment 342 736.
• Blessed Grotto Heavens — Multi-generation cultivation treasures that accelerate the development of the empire's citizens and allied races 690 735.

Major Campaigns

• Crimson Planet consolidation — The empire establishes itself on Crimson Planet, constructs a Large Defense Array, and ultimately conquers the entire planet 342 458.
• Swiftfoot Race and Spirit Heart Race campaign — The Great Flame Pirate Group forces the withdrawal of over 200 million enemy elite troops, captures hundreds of experts, kills more than 30 million high-end combatants, and suffers no casualties 483.
• Sixteen Races Alliance campaign — The empire mobilizes 2.5 billion elites with the goal of conquering all sixteen races rather than merely defeating the Flying Wolf Race 550. The campaign ends with the complete surrender of the Sixteen Races 573.
• Heavenly Spirit Star System unification — The Vanguard Army conquers race after race through rapid deployment, ranged attacks, and elite assassinations until the entire star system falls under imperial rule 618 671 716.
• Undying Star System invasion — A 100-billion-strong expedition rapidly occupies the Undying Star and surrounding Life Planets, reversing the former relationship between the Undying Race and the races it once ruled 735 736.
• Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster expansion — The empire launches repeated campaigns into the Supercluster, conquering small, medium, and large races while integrating their elite armies 783 812 829.
• Coalition War — The empire defeats the Coalition formed by the Three Hegemon Races and thousands of large races, leading to the surrender of the entire Supercluster 831 846.

Relationships

• Yi Chen — Founder, Great Emperor, and absolute sovereign. His cultivation, inventions, and strategic direction drive the empire's expansion 221 439 846.
• General Political Department — Primary civilian governing body; manages administration, migration, integration, and policy implementation under Yi Chen's authority 221 342 483.
• Shadow Race — Allied race initially used primarily for intelligence gathering; later gains large-scale access to the Blessed Grotto Heavens and becomes a major imperial force 483 690.
• Shadow Emperor — Ruler of the Shadow Race and the empire's only Prince after the Supercluster's conquest 383 846.
• Demon Race — Early allied and vassal force whose former Ferocious Beast Army members accepted imperial citizenship; its Demon Emperor remains notably loyal to Yi Chen 382 485.
• Black Tiger Race — Former vassal race whose elites form a major component of the empire's forces, though its leadership periodically resists imperial authority 487 550.
• Sixteen Races — Conquered coalition whose Supreme Experts and armies are incorporated after their surrender 573 609.
• Human Federation — Former adversary from Exile Planet. Yi Chen rejects its later overture and declares that it will be conquered and reduced to first-class status 341 792.
• Earth Tree Race, Time Race, and Reincarnation Race — The Three Hegemon Races oppose the empire in the final Coalition War before surrendering with the rest of the Supercluster 812 846.
