Dongyuan Planet

Biodata

Background / History

Dongyuan Planet is a native celestial body born with the Primitive Universe. Its dense cosmic-origin mists allowed powerful lifeforms to develop and flourish there for countless years. Since the beginning of life on the planet, its inhabitants have lived under recurring multi-race competition and conflict. 2

The human inhabitants once followed Isis, an Immortal God Lord who established the Yisi Kingdom and suppressed the other races. His death during an exploration of a cosmic secret region ended that dominance and led to a prolonged three-way struggle among humans, the Light-Deriving Snakes, and the Northern Rock Race. 3

The balance collapsed after Yanguang Marquis of the Light-Deriving Snake Race attained an immortal body. His race killed the remaining ordinary Immortal Gods of the humans and Northern Rocks, exterminated the Northern Rock Race, and forced the surviving humans into restricted settlements and Dongyuan Stone mines. Kuangque Venerable prevented the complete annihilation of the human race. 2

Mountain Sitting Guest later enslaved Yanguang Marquis and ordered him to remain on the planet, secretly ensuring that its humans did not face extinction while otherwise allowing their development to proceed without intervention. 3

Environment

Dongyuan Planet’s unusual size and stability are sustained by its abundant cosmic energy. The planet and several surrounding celestial bodies orbit the Tuya Black Hole. 2

• The planet’s gravity is intense enough that cultivation is necessary for its inhabitants to resist its effects and attain long lifespans. 3
• Dense and violent Universe Energy supports rapid growth for lifeforms, but can also damage an exhausted cultivator’s Micro-Planet if absorbed carelessly. 15
• Desolate Beasts proliferate rapidly outside defended settlements, making wilderness travel hazardous even after repeated extermination campaigns. 4
• The Tuya Black Hole produces particularly severe gravitational tides and violent cosmic energy around noon. 19

Inhabitants

Humans / Isis Race

The local human branch arose from an ape-man genus and is native to Dongyuan Planet. Due to their isolation, they generally identify themselves as the Isis Race rather than as humans. They possess comparatively weaker physical talent but strong comprehension. 2 3

Humans live primarily in fortified cities and mining districts. The Light-Deriving Snakes restrict their living space and compel them to mine Dongyuan Stone in exchange for survival resources. 2

Light-Deriving Snake Race

The Light-Deriving Snakes possess strong soul-attack talent and became the ruling race after Yanguang Marquis rose to power. They serve Kuangque Venerable, who accepted their submission in order to study their innate secret patterns. 2

Northern Rock Race

The Northern Rocks were stone-bodied humanoids known for their powerful physiques. Their civilization was destroyed by several Light-Deriving Snake Immortal God Lords; however, some survivors remained in hiding afterward. 2 20

Starship Humans

A separate population known as the Starship Humans descended from the crew of an ancient damaged starship that became stranded on Dongyuan Planet roughly two million years earlier. Their low population and loss of high-level experts forced them out of the planet’s major racial struggles. 15 16

Civilization and Settlements

Despite its early isolation from the wider universe, Dongyuan Planet developed advanced technology. High-tech spaceports operate in low orbit, and spaceships travel among the planet and nearby celestial bodies within the Tuya Black Hole’s gravitational range. 2

• Yisi Kingdom — the principal human nation founded by Isis; its parliament includes World Rank powerhouses. 3 5
• Tuka Tribe / No. 3 Main Mine — a human mining district built as a technologically advanced urban area, despite retaining the name “tribe.” 3
• Starship Humans’ canyon village — a secluded settlement inhabited by descendants of the stranded starship crew; it endures frequent beast tides and Desolate Beast attacks. 16 24
• Human cities use energy shield systems to protect residents from Desolate Beasts and other external threats. 4

Resources

• Dongyuan Stone — a mineral unique to the planet that can catalyze metals from A-grade through D-grade, improving their material properties. 9
• Dongyuan Stone Mother — a far rarer form of Dongyuan Stone capable of affecting E-grade and F-grade metals. 9
• Mituoya — a purple, crystal-shaped A3-grade mineral that emits calming energy and is widely used in Earth Rank-to-Flying Star Rank Spirit Reader cultivation. 8
• Universe Energy — the planet’s exceptionally dense energy supports cultivation, mineral formation, and the emergence of powerful Desolate Beasts. 2 4
