The Shattered Star Sea, having only just survived a calamitous era, had undoubtedly once again fallen into war and chaos as civilizations and races from every side expanded madly and claimed territory.
However, unlike the previous chaos caused by the dimensional ascension of the Bottomless Abyss, although every side had also descended into melee this time, under the new balance jointly maintained by the three Transcendent powers, no bloody battles at the Mythic level had erupted. Every interstellar battlefield remained within controllable limits.
In the Southern Region of the Shattered Star Sea, in merely ten thousand years, a vast territory spanning more than forty core galaxy clusters and influencing hundreds more had become a supreme existence looked up to by all races of the heavens—Kindling Civilization.
This territory was reverently known by all races as the "Kindling Divine Domain."
The core of the Kindling Domain was still the five immortal imperial ancestral continents, as well as the [Heavenly Peak Secret Realm] suspended deep within the heart of the Ancestral Domain, which had now expanded until it rivaled an entire great world.
With the five ancestral continents as its foundation, the radiance of the [Cosmic Six-Direction Wheel Formation] enveloped several of the most central galaxy clusters. Using those clusters as support, the influence of Kindling Civilization spread through dozens of surrounding galaxy clusters, while its residual might deterred hundreds more. This was the very foundation of the entire Kindling Civilization.
Within this vast territory, countless life-bearing floating continents were transformed and reborn. Following the Civilization Codex promulgated by the Kindling Council, they retained their respective cultural characteristics while jointly recognizing Kindling as their sovereign civilization. Networks of colossal stargates spanning the galaxies tightly linked this vast territory together, bringing commerce, exchange, and the circulation of cultivation resources to an unprecedented level
