Background / History

Players are individuals who enter the Heavens Tower and are assigned or choose Plot Worlds, where they pursue cultivation, quests, resources, and evaluations. The Heavens Tower descended upon Origin Earth Star ten thousand years ago and became the source of transcendence as well as a rigid class system dominated by the Longevity Families and their vassal Royal Clans 1.

Their arrivals may be unnoticed by the worlds’ native inhabitants. In Secret of the Linked Cities, players appeared in Blue Stone Town while the town’s residents remained unaware of them 2. The Heavens Tower rationalizes player arrivals as part of a Plot World’s background, while its rules ordinarily prevent players from freely disseminating specific Plot World knowledge 2 18.

Plot Worlds issue main and side quests, while the Heavens Tower publicly announces major developments such as faction creation, quest completion, and faction annihilation 4 6. A player’s performance can be evaluated upon returning from a world; Wang Xuan received an SSS-rank evaluation after completing the Secret of the Linked Cities Treasure side quest 18.

Players may retain panels, cards, techniques, items, and other resources between worlds. The Heavens Tower’s later unsealing of Storage Space granted every player a 125-cubic-meter personal storage space 49 50. Plot World memories may be retained after clearance, but leaking them is punishable by erasure under the Tower’s rules 18.

Heavens Tower System

Plot World Entry

• Players enter Plot Worlds through the Heavens Tower, sometimes receiving identities suited to the selected world; Wang Xuan entered World’s Number One as a Wandering Martial Artist 21.
• World selection can determine available martial arts, political conditions, quest objectives, and opportunities for advancement 21 22.
• The first floor is restricted to Low Martial Arts Worlds, while later floors broaden into Middle Martial Arts, High Martial Arts, Immortal Martial, and higher-level Plot Worlds 2 21 66 98 338.
• Certain cards can replace a Plot World supporting character, granting the user that character’s identity, resources, connections, and influence 49.
• In some higher worlds, players without corresponding identity cards are forcibly anchored to the Human Race; Wang Xuan entered the Primordial Era of Shrouding the Heavens as an ordinary human mortal 100.
• Plot Worlds follow strict underlying rules and can restart after a plot protagonist’s death or a Main Quest failure 51 97.
• The Nine Voids of Boundlessness revealed that Plot Worlds are solidified segments of stories that repeat in cycles, with native lives and accumulated player interventions recorded along their timelines 72.
• Royal Clan forces can employ exceptional resources, including Story Retcon Cards, to alter a Plot World’s timeline before entering it 21.

Quests and Evaluations

• Main quests may be long-term and offer Divine Arts or Ultimate Arts manuals as final rewards 4.
• Quest conditions can change if key plot characters die; in World’s Number One, the altered main quest became surviving for one year, with death as the failure penalty 22.
• Completion rewards can include high-level manuals, cards, authority, and other Heavens Tower resources 14 18.
• Players may receive world-return evaluations, with higher evaluations providing stronger rewards 18.
• Special Plot Worlds can use alternative settlement systems. The Snow Sword Stride Luck Contention World ranked players by accumulated Luck Points and Heavenly Luck rather than issuing ordinary roulette rewards 97.
• Completion of the Path of Transcendence can grant a player access to higher-floor worlds and Tower Master-related hidden missions 338.

Resurrection and Permanent Death

• Players can possess resurrection-related resources, including Entry/Resurrection Cards 56.
• A player’s death is not necessarily permanent under ordinary circumstances; Yu Jinghong resurrected once after being killed before dying permanently on the second occasion 5.
• The Instant Death Authority allows its holder to permanently kill players within Plot Worlds 97 111.
• Wang Xuan later used this authority on a massive scale, erasing Royal Clan Players reincarnated across the Shrouding the Heavens world rather than merely forcing them out of the Plot World 333 334.
• Royal Clan members later regarded an authority capable of directly erasing players as a threat serious enough to consider withdrawing from the world entirely 237.

Tower Master Authority

• Hidden Heavens Tower Authority can be obtained through exceptional clearance rewards and other special mechanisms; Wang Xuan’s authority activated partial Tower Master permissions after reaching 2% 18 49.
• Authority holders can participate in functional adjudications affecting all players. Wang Xuan used this power to unseal the Storage Space function for every player 49 50.
• The unsealing of Storage Space triggered the Tower’s anti-cheat module against certain Xianxia artifacts, contributing to the restart of the Nine Cauldrons Plot World after its protagonist died 51.
• At 27% authority, Wang Xuan exposed the Player Contract mechanism, through which Longevity Families could strip a contracted player’s soul upon death or designation as expendable material and use a portion of it to generate Plot World Teleportation Cards 336.
• Following the Player Contract adjudication, Servant Player contracts were voided in Return of the Condor Heroes, prompting rebellions against Royal Clan Players that spread across multiple Plot Worlds 337.

Cultivation and Talents

Cultivation

Players can cultivate martial arts and advance through realm-based systems that vary between Plot Worlds. Documented stages include the Postnatal Realm, Xiantian Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Great Grandmaster Realm, Dragon Transformation Realm, Saint King, Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, and Imperial Dao Realm 3 14 28 135 116 202.

• A Plot World’s rules can impose a cultivation ceiling; Wang Xuan reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm but could not advance to Great Grandmaster because of Heavens Tower restrictions 28.
• Players may obtain cultivation methods through manuals, cards, looting, trades, or Plot World opportunities 6 22 56 58.
• Some techniques contain hidden negative effects or require specific medicines, creating a major informational advantage for factions familiar with the Plot Worlds 6.
• Higher-floor worlds use substantially different cultivation systems. Snow Sword Stride recognizes Great Grandmaster, Terrestrial Immortal, Eternal Celestial Being, and Shattering the Void stages, while Shrouding the Heavens uses the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform, Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor path 67 99.
• Foreign cultivation methods may require adaptation to a Plot World’s Great Dao. Players can use rare materials such as Immortal Exquisite Jade and Longevity Substance to adapt outside techniques 204.

Power Progression

Heavens Tower Stage	World Classification	Documented Power Ceiling or Progression
First Floor	Low Martial Arts	First-time entrants are assigned a Low Martial Arts World with a Xiantian power limit 2.
Second Floor	Middle Martial Arts	The floor’s stated strength cap is the Grandmaster Realm 21.
Third Floor	High Martial Arts	Luck Manifestation is activated, and worlds may progress from Postnatal through Shattering the Void 66 67.
Fourth to Sixth Floors	Immortal Martial / Xuanhuan	These floors can reach the True Immortal Realm; hidden Plot Worlds can bind a player’s progression across all three floors 98.
Seventh Floor and beyond	Gods and Devils / higher worlds	Players can access worlds with systems extending from Mortal Shedding to Emperor-level existence 338 339.

Talents

Talents grant players special abilities and vary in rank. Talent reincarnation can awaken a random D-to-S-rank talent for those without one, or upgrade an existing talent for those who already possess one 99.

• Advancing talents through reincarnation requires Luck Points and Heavenly Luck; the costs rise sharply at higher ranks 99.
• Unique Rank is described as the peak talent level, with no higher upgrade option displayed on the reincarnation panel 99.
• Wang Xuan’s soul-bound Unique Rank talent, One-Click Max, can instantly maximize mastered skills or techniques within a world’s rules while ignoring cultivation requirements, bottlenecks, costs, cooldowns, and negative effects 67 103.
• The first ability of One-Click Max, Defy Conservation, applies the above instant-maximization effect to skills, cultivation methods, techniques, and crafts 2 339.
• Its second ability, Extreme Realm Sublimation, can fuse selected cultivation methods, retain their strengths, discard their flaws, and create a higher-level result 103.
• Its third ability, Myriad Transformations of the True Spirit, permits Wang Xuan to divide his true spirit into hundreds of millions of reincarnated counterparts that share everything with the original body 339.
• After clearing the Path of Transcendence, Wang Xuan also obtained the special fate Heavens’ Fate Voidwalker, placing his fate outside the River of Fate and allowing him to gain a portion of an opponent’s luck through victory 338.

Factions and Social Conditions

Royal Clan Control

The Royal Clan holds substantial advantages through prior Plot World knowledge, resources, high-level items, and control of information. Their members can use tools such as realm-boosting scrolls and guild creation tokens to establish dominance quickly 3 4 6.

• Royal Clan factions recruit players through manuals, silver, and contracts 4.
• The Servant Contract is notarized by the Heavens Tower and can prove fatal: players bound to Yu Jinghong died after her permanent death 4 5.
• Royal Clan-controlled skill books may be tampered with, while debt traps can force ordinary players into High Martial Arts Worlds as expendable cannon fodder 65.
• Factory Players are treated as disposable manpower; millions were deployed into a single world, and some were described as deaf and mute 66 67.
• Royal Clan Players can use supporting-character replacement, reincarnation advantages, and inherited resources to occupy influential positions within Plot Worlds 49 78 333 334.
• Royal Clan Players relied on ordinary Plot World death as a safety net for reckless conduct until Wang Xuan’s Instant Death Authority made permanent erasure possible 97 316.
• The Player Contract system enabled Longevity Families and their affiliated powers to convert contracted players into expendable soul resources and Plot World Teleportation Cards 336.

Federation and Ordinary Players

• The Federation opposes the Royal Clan in multiple Plot Worlds, though their conflicts can reach stalemates 50 67.
• Ordinary players may lack the resources and information possessed by major factions, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, debt, and dangerous world assignments 65.
• Wang Xuan’s unsealing of the Storage Space function was widely viewed as a challenge to the Royal Clan’s monopoly, earning gratitude and hope from players worldwide 49 50.
• The voiding of Servant Player contracts allowed enslaved players to turn on Royal Clan commanders, contributing to major Federation victories across several Plot Worlds 337.
• Despite widespread player support after these changes, Wang Xuan remained distrustful of player crowds because of the likelihood of infiltrators and hidden agendas 337.
