Background

The Spirit Race stands at the center of the Pan-Spirit Alliance, a position that gives it major influence over allied races, resource access, and interstellar policy. Within the alliance, the Cosmic Human Race is considered only somewhat stronger than an average member race, while the Spirit Race is among the peak powers. 2

The race maintains a long-standing presence in Human Race affairs through civilization-guardian positions. Competition for these positions is intense within the Spirit Race because contact with Human Race Eternal Divinities can provide political protection and influence across racial boundaries. Aurelia Xina became Blue Star’s 37th civilization guardian after her declining family spent most of its resources securing the post. 10

The Spirit Race jointly controls the Myriad Secret Realm with the Abyss Race and Devouring Race. Competition for the realm’s origin-essence resources has caused many major wars among the three races. 284

Primeval Cosmos Supreme personally witnessed, guided, and led the Spirit Race’s development from obscurity into a peak race. By the evacuation crisis, its foundations included a stable inheritance, mature institutional systems, and numerous outstanding members, which Bright Moon Supreme cited as reasons the race could continue without depending indefinitely on its oldest protectors. 455

Origins and wider racial classification

The Spirit Race possesses extremely ancient, fragmentary records relevant to the Origin Universe Tower. Drawing on these records and observations of the Tower, Chu Yu proposed that the Main Universe’s intelligent races—including the Spirit Race, Human Race, Abyss Race, and Devouring Race—probably originated outside that universe. The conjecture rests on similarities between their life forms, cultural inheritances, and cultivation systems and the frameworks reflected in the Tower; it was not presented as a verified history. 446 447

In the Empire’s genealogical system, the Spirit Race, Human Race, Star Spirit Race, and other similarly shaped peoples are branches of the broader Constant Race category. These groups generally retain their original appearances in daily life, unlike members of the broader Abyss and Devouring Race categories, who conventionally adopt Constant Race-like forms in public. 503

Society and Culture

Lifespan and cultivation

Spirit Race members are described as having lifespans of tens of thousands of years and an innate aptitude for containing source energy. Their Life Rule techniques are scarce and highly sought after in Human Race territory. 262 280

The race possesses deep institutional foundations for cultivation, including the Primal Ancestral Court, the Origin Sanctuary, Sacred Tree Star, and the Sacred Forge. 301 313 365

• Primal Ancestral Court — The Spirit Race’s foremost inheritance ground, permeated by pure origin energy. Ordinary World Derivation-level experts cannot enter even its outer regions without special authorization. 308
• Internal Genius Selection — Before each Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle, the Primal Ancestral Court selects its strongest internal candidates. The top three receive rewards valuable even to Eternal Divinities, access to core secret realms, and direct Myriad Secret Realm entry qualifications. 301
• Ancient Tree Courtyard — A Sacred Tree Star cultivation zone designed to imitate the ecosystem within ancient Spirit Race sacred trees; its concentrated Life Law environment greatly improves Life Law cultivation efficiency. 377
• Sacred Forge — A Spirit Race institution that arranges consultations for customized divine artifact embryos. 365
• Moonlight Divine Hall — A Spirit Race holy land containing secret realms and treasure vaults, all of which were opened for the Journey Afar mobilization. 456
• Law Application Research Institute — An institute under the Spirit Race’s Origin Court. Its published research included law-structure stability in high-intensity energy environments. 306

The Sacred Forge evaluates an artifact recipient’s desired equipment type, primary laws, combat style, and expected growth path before conducting repeated design consultations. The use of eternal-grade materials and profound law fusion can make customization lengthy and may require the recipient to meet compatibility prerequisites. Lin Yi consulted forging master Astra about growth-type Eternal Divine Artifact armor designed to evolve with his mastery of laws. 364 377

The Spirit Race’s Time Ruins Lord was publicly recorded as having comprehended a higher law at the Star Core level 207,490 epochs before Lin Yi’s Genius Battle breakthrough, illustrating the rarity of such an achievement even within the race’s long history. 322

The race also made an exceptionally costly historical attempt to investigate the Origin Universe Tower’s upper reaches. Its ancestor selected an unmatched female prodigy and supplied resources reportedly sufficient to create two or three new Dominators, with the aim of having her climb as high as possible during the secret realm’s hundred-epoch opening. 424

Aesthetics and combat traditions

Spirit Race combat arts emphasize the unity of laws, energy rhythm, and visual elegance. Even in lethal combat, practitioners are expected to preserve the composure and refined bearing associated with a peak race. 311

Frequently depicted traits among Spirit Race individuals include:

• Silver, golden, or silver-white hair and silver-toned battle attire. 223 309
• Pointed ears and luminous or silver eyes. 309
• Forehead marks identifying race or lineage, such as Aurelia’s Spirit Race mark and Adeline’s crescent-shaped star mark. 10 408
• Battle armor and architecture combining crystalline materials, life motifs, and advanced technology. 326 390
• Traditional formal clothing using moonlit silver and life-green, with embroidered patterns that emit faint flowing light. 223

Edith’s reaction to Lin Yi’s direct, close-quarters fighting illustrates the contrast between this inherited combat aesthetic and more pragmatic approaches. Although his attacks lacked the elegance emphasized in her childhood education, she found their effectiveness compelling and sought contact with him for exchanges concerning combat and space-time cultivation. 311

A small group of radical Spirit Race Dominators is described as favoring the suppression of other powerful races and the prevention of new Dominators from rising. Bright Moon Supreme’s faction is characterized as comparatively peaceful. 428

The Spirit Race is not politically monolithic. Primeval Cosmos Supreme was described as relatively detached from mundane affairs, while Bright Moon Supreme’s emergence strengthened the peace faction. Eternal Beginning Dominator identified radical Dominators without Origin Universe Marks as the principal internal threat to promising mark holders, rather than treating the entire Spirit Race leadership as uniformly hostile. Publicizing a mark could help protect its bearer because the Supremes were unwilling to risk attacking such individuals. 428

The Origin Universe Tower’s approaching Connection further encouraged cooperation. Eternal Beginning Dominator and Bright Moon Supreme regarded Lin Yi’s two-star mark and Dominator-level strength as grounds for joint announcements, negotiations over war reparations, and the possibility of a prolonged peace, rather than an occasion for suppressing another allied power. 447

Relations

• Pan-Spirit Alliance — The Spirit Race serves as the alliance’s absolute core and provides major strategic, political, and cultivation resources to allied races. 2 451
• Human Race — A close but unequal ally. The Human Race yields 20% of exploration rights for newly discovered secret realms to the Spirit Race as part of their strategic cooperation. 284
• Abyss Race — Co-controller of the Myriad Secret Realm and major rival in conflicts over origin essence and secret-realm resources. 284 325
• Devouring Race — Co-controller of the Myriad Secret Realm and rival alongside the Abyss Race. 284 325
• Lin Yi — Initially assessed as a potential threat in the Genius Battle, then recruited unsuccessfully by the Radiance Lord. The Spirit Race later cooperated with and rewarded him for his contributions to the Pan-Spirit Alliance. 308 313 410 433
• Aurelia Xina — Spirit Race guardian of Blue Star and a key intermediary between the race, Blue Star Civilization, and Lin Yi. 10 22
• Empire’s Constant Race — The Spirit Race is classified as one of the broader Constant Race’s branches under the Empire’s genealogical system. This classification does not erase its distinct racial identity. 503

Human Race cooperation and tensions

The alliance’s benefits are accompanied by disagreements over dependency and loyalty. Xuchen noted the Spirit Race’s vague response to provocations by neighboring alien races, while Sky Halberd Lord criticized Human Race elites who shifted descendants and businesses into Spirit Race territory and devoted more effort to Spirit Race interests than to their own people. 213 302

Within Silver Blue Civilization, some advocates idealized Spirit Race longevity and innate cultivation advantages, proposing intermarriage and eventual bloodline and cultural assimilation as a shortcut to becoming a higher civilization. These proposals were presented as the views of particular advocates, not as an established Spirit Race policy. 262

Attitudes also changed in the opposite direction as Lin Yi rose. The Spirit Race deity Aiser planned to send younger family members to Silver Blue Civilization to study the environment and character that had nurtured Lin Yi, arguing against Leander’s assumption that superior Spirit Race resources made such exchanges unnecessary. 421

Bright Moon Supreme and Eternal Beginning Dominator share a close personal relationship as well as political cooperation. Their discussions of Lin Yi’s public recognition included hints of announcing their relationship, and they openly held hands after Bright Moon volunteered during the evacuation crisis. 447 455

Major Arcs

Blue Star Civilization Assessment

The Spirit Race assigned Aurelia Xina as Blue Star’s civilization guardian during the Human Race’s Civilization Advancement Assessment. She was tasked with monitoring the assessment alongside Xuchen’s ship intelligence after the Divine Spirit Avatar showed little interest in the low-potential planet. 10 11

As Blue Star exceeded expectations by achieving civilization milestones, Aurelia increased its monitoring priority and began viewing its development—particularly Lin Yi’s growth—as significant to her family’s future. 93 101

Liyue Hina later discovered Aurelia’s secret investments in Blue Star and Lin Yi. Rather than withdrawing support, she committed substantial family resources to the gamble, seeking a lasting bond with Lin Yi and a route out of the family’s decline. 211

Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle

The Spirit Race initially intended to field Crystal Light as its leading contestant. After receiving intelligence that Lin Yi might be concealing greater strength, the Radiance Lord replaced her with Edith Lanxing, the Sacred Tree Battle’s first-place competitor and an eighth-layer Domain genius versed in space-time and light-darkness. 308 309

The deployment also addressed threats from the Abyss and Devouring Races, whose ninth-layer Domain contestants were expected to hunt Pan-Spirit Alliance prodigies in the Myriad Secret Realm. Radiance Lord supplied additional support intended to help Edith reach the ninth layer, which she subsequently displayed during the preliminaries. 308 315

When Lin Yi’s own ninth-layer strength became apparent, Radiance Lord recognized that having both him and Edith would improve the alliance team’s offensive power, defensive flexibility, and survival prospects, despite his mixed feelings about the Human Race concealing Lin Yi’s development. 311

Radiance Lord offered Lin Yi resources equivalent to 3,000 Human Race merit points and a study slot at the Origin Sanctuary if he joined the Spirit Race. Lin Yi refused. The Lord then gave him ownership of the Xina Family’s former territory in the Relyat Star Domain, a gift Lin Yi disclosed to Human Race authorities before accepting their advice that he could retain it. 313

Spirit Race contestants occupied more than 60% of the ranking-match qualifiers, demonstrating the race’s broad cultivation foundation. 323

After Lin Yi defeated Edith with the Law of Time but deliberately preserved her dignity, Spirit Race contestants avoided challenging Human Race competitors during the ranking matches in response to his restraint. 322 323

The Spirit Race ultimately held 78 of the 128 finalist positions. Its competitors’ restraint also reflected the practical importance of maintaining relations with Lin Yi, who would lead the alliance’s next Myriad Secret Realm expedition. 323

Myriad Secret Realm Cooperation

Following Lin Yi’s Genius Battle victory, the Spirit Race accepted his authority as leader of the Pan-Spirit Alliance’s Myriad Secret Realm team. 324

The leadership position followed an ancient alliance rule granting the champion authority to coordinate participating factions and establish fundamental operational strategies. It had normally belonged to the Spirit Race. Radiance Lord also imposed rules forbidding internal attacks or sabotage, requiring mutual assistance against the other peak races, and making resource acquisition the expedition’s central objective. 306 323 324

Spirit Race forces later encountered and joined Lin Yi’s camp inside the secret realm. Spirit Race, Human Race, Holy Radiance Race, and other alliance teams were identified, treated, and reorganized together after entering his formation. 345 347

One intercepted Spirit Race contingent numbered roughly seventy thousand, with many wounded members. Edith handled contact and questioning because she was the most suitable intermediary; subsequent Spirit Race arrivals helped reveal that fighting was taking place outside over the entrance. 345

Qing Yan revealed that the Spirit Race possessed a second Supreme after Lin Yi’s team failed to exit the Myriad Secret Realm and war erupted against the Abyss and Devouring Races. 335

The war continued for approximately five thousand years. On learning of the alliance’s losses from Elizabeth, Lin Yi directed Spirit Race prodigies to treat her and other injured soldiers. The later emergence of Secret Realm One led the three peak races to sign a truce lasting one hundred eras. 346 379

Sacred Tree Star and Secret Realm One

The Spirit Race opened the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm and granted Lin Yi sixty days of comprehension time, a special increase from his original ten-day reward due to his Myriad Secret Realm performance and law-comprehension level. 365

Before Secret Realm One opened, the Spirit Race provided foreign-race geniuses with a five-year period on Sacred Tree Star for final cultivation and later arranged their escorted return to their home territories. 377 379

Its advance corps encountered previously unknown alien races inside Secret Realm One. The race subsequently hosted allied entrants at its crystal-tree interstellar fortress, where a Spirit Race Dominator reiterated alliance rules prohibiting unprovoked internal attacks, robbery, and slaughter, with offenders’ races bearing joint responsibility. 385 390 391

During the expedition, Lin Yi led a mixed squad containing Spirit Race, Holy Radiance Race, and Human Race members. Qing Yan later reviewed his achievements and declined to recruit him away from the Human Race, consistent with Bright Moon Supreme’s diplomatic direction. 399 410

After Lin Yi returned to the fortress, Qing Yan rewarded him with 3,700 Origin Treasure Points for his contributions. 433

Crisis Preparation

During the escalating Chaos Beast crisis, Bright Moon Supreme opened the Spirit Race’s core resources to Lin Yi to accelerate his cultivation. 453

The race later opened seventeen core heritage secret realms—including the Holy Spirit Source Pool, Law Corridor, and Time Secret Realm—to qualified allied experts, lowered exchange thresholds by 30%, and increased annual admission quotas fivefold. 451

As the crisis intensified, Primeval Cosmos Supreme ordered the opening of all Moonlight Divine Hall secret realms and treasure vaults, assigning Spirit Race members to construction units according to their law affinities. 456

Journey Afar and evacuation

When Lord Li presented the possibility of sacrificing powerful cultivators to obtain one era for the homeland’s population to migrate, Primeval Cosmos Supreme was among the first to volunteer. Eternal Beginning Dominator followed, along with another senior Spirit Race Dominator and leading figures from other races. 455

Bright Moon Supreme also volunteered, relinquishing the prospect of freely exploring the wider world despite her long-standing desire to escape the limitations of their cosmic island. She argued that the Spirit Race’s mature systems and inheritance would allow it to continue without permanent reliance on its oldest protectors. These scenes establish their willingness to sacrifice, rather than confirming that every volunteer died. 455

Under the Journey Afar plan, Primeval Cosmos Supreme and Bright Moon Supreme jointly mobilized the Spirit Race’s resources and personnel. Spirit Race members, like those of the other races possessing Dominators, were placed within Divine Kingdoms for departure. The four Supremes accommodated smaller races without mark holders. By the end of the evacuation, the Main Universe contained no remaining signs of civilization, and the passengers’ survival was bound to that of the experts carrying them. 456

Chaos Cosmic Sea aftermath

Zhaoyue remained active after the evacuation and joined the Imperial Army squad containing Lin Yi and Frost Rainbow. She congratulated Lin Yi on reaching the True Source Realm and shared her experience attempting the Nine Seal Cosmos Art, noting that she had not yet formed its first seal. 465

When Mantaji appointed Lin Yi Deputy Captain of the Fifth Squad, Zhaoyue was assigned to his team alongside Frost Rainbow, Sagahe, and Ruida. Their subsequent cultivation and tactical training preceded the fleet’s arrival at Mist Sea Giant City. 467

Aurelia also remained part of Lin Yi’s personal circle in the later era. She declined his Constant Source Celebration, preferring to stay with his parents; Lin Yi accepted her choice and considered finding a treasure to improve her soul comprehension rather than pressuring her to match his cultivation pace. 553
