Background / History

The Royal Clan entered Blue Stone Town through Yu Jinghong, who used a scroll to raise her cultivation to the Fifth Layer of the Postnatal Realm. She founded the Jinghong Gang and recruited players through Heavens Tower-notarized Servant Contracts, offering martial-arts manuals and silver in exchange for their service 3 4.

Wang Xuan killed Yu Jinghong twice, permanently destroying her and causing the sudden deaths of the players bound to her Servant Contracts. Jinghong Gang was subsequently announced as annihilated 5 6. Other clan members established Qingtian Gang and Power Gang, while Qingtian Gang placed a Jianghu Kill Order on Wang Xuan 6.

The Clan repeatedly pursued Wang Xuan across plot worlds, employing tracking functions in their storage bags, organized cleanup missions, and powerful martial artists. Their attempts were repeatedly frustrated by Wang Xuan, including the deaths of Yu Qingtian, Shen Chenzhou, Ye Jingchen, Yin Mingchen's force, and multiple Shattered Realm experts 15 39 42 84.

Yu Ming later abducted Wang Xuan from the Origin Earth Star's safe zone and took him aboard a spacecraft, intending to bring the matter before the Longevity Families. Wang Xuan escaped by expending a portion of his Authority to return home 20.

In the Snow Sword Stride world, the Royal Clan controlled the Liyang Dynasty and exploited its mortal population, draining earthly and human luck while maintaining military campaigns against the Federation and Beiliang 69 74. Their Immortal Realm stronghold was later destroyed, severely reducing their power and enabling a Federation counteroffensive 78.

Despite this setback, Royal Clan Players continued to exploit reincarnation mechanics in higher-level plot worlds. They could enter powerful native bloodlines and special constitutions unavailable to ordinary Players, allowing them to become racial prodigies, Sacred Land elites, and rulers of imperial dynasties with relative ease 99 128 334.

By the time of the Big Dipper Star Domain conflict, the Royal Clan was willing to exchange a copy of the Great Ocean Boundless Art for intelligence on Wang Xuan 108. After Wang Xuan obtained an authority capable of directly erasing Players, hidden Royal Clan members considered abandoning Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star and fleeing to the Strange World 237.

Wang Xuan later began a systematic purge of reincarnated Royal Clan Players. He detected them through their distinctive arrogance and aura, erased large numbers on the Ancient Star Big Dipper, and continued doing so across life-bearing stars; the recorded total eventually reached several million permanently erased Players 333 334. The subsequent voiding of Servant Contracts freed many of the Players formerly bound to Royal Clan masters 337.

Organization and Methods

• The Royal Clan operates under the broader dominance of the Longevity Families, which command vassal royal clans such as the Feng Clan 1.
• Its members hold a clear internal hierarchy. Failed operatives face reprimands and possible punishment, while senior figures direct cleanup operations and military strategy 42 78 80.
• The Clan and the Longevity Families regard high-martial plot worlds as major resource investments; the loss of a protagonist in a territory under a member's protection can bring severe family punishment and political retaliation from rival relatives 51.
• Royal Clan members can exploit prior knowledge of plot worlds, quests, and valuable targets, giving them a systemic advantage over ordinary Players 2 6.
• They have monopolized practical resources such as storage bags and suppressed the Heavens Tower's Storage Space function until Wang Xuan unsealed it for all players 49 50.
• The Clan uses tampered skill books, debt traps, and Servant Contracts to bind weaker Players into dependence or disposable service 4 5 65.
• Royal Clan storage bags possess special tracking features, allowing the Clan to trace those carrying them 15.
• In major wars, the Clan deploys Servant armies, vassal forces, formations, forbidden artifacts, Imperial Weapons, and Shattered Realm cultivators 74 80 137.
• Royal Clan Players can use reincarnation to enter plot worlds with superior native identities, including special constitutions, high cultivation aptitude, and the luck of Sons of the World 99 100.
• In the Primordial Era world, different Royal Clan branches competed through reincarnated identities among the Ancient Races; the Ye Royal Clan's rapid rise was tied to its advancement on the path of Law Creation 128 136.
• The Clan maintains an industrialized reproduction system in some higher-floor worlds. Royal Clan Players establish themselves among lower-level dynasties, use Servant Players or other Royal Clan Players as breeding stock, and produce descendants born with System Panels 334.
• The Clan's reliance on Servant Contracts was critically compromised when those contracts were voided, allowing former Servant Players to turn on their former masters without punishment 337.

Reincarnation and Law Creation

Retreat and Escape Planning
