Terminology
The Federation's collective term Alien Humans refers to the Ancestral People described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. They are not a single uniform species: their kingdoms include peoples with animal traits, unusual anatomy, or outwardly human appearances. 74 154
Appearance
Alien Humans vary radically by kingdom, though many can pass for humans at a glance. Some maintain their true forms openly in the Alien Human World, while others disguise themselves within human society. 30 154 195
- Human disguises — Some appear entirely ordinary until exposed by abilities such as Psychological Profiling or Clear Spirit Eye. 30 194 212
- One-eyed forms — Alien Humans occupying Yungang City revealed gray-green skin, blurred facial features, and a single eye after death; the One-Eyed Kingdom is also associated with a central facial eye. 112
- Serpent traits — The Shamaness Kingdom priestess possessed a half-human, half-serpent true form, while Xuanyuan Hao appeared in profiling as human above the waist and serpentine below it. 167 185
- Other known forms — Recorded examples include black-furred Hairy People, Fire-Eaters with beastlike black bodies, Three-Headed People, Feathered People, ice-patterned humanoids, and individuals with bird heads or beast bodies. 154 170 175 188
Abilities & Power Hierarchy
Innate Divine Abilities
Alien Humans commonly possess divine abilities through their bloodlines rather than acquiring them solely through cultivation. Xin Hao identifies this inherited advantage as the central reason humanity repeatedly lost earlier supernatural eras. 144 146
- Every Alien Human Jiang Ran observed in their home world possessed either Martial Cultivation or Spirit Cultivation. 154
- Their bloodline abilities can awaken naturally as they mature, giving them a longstanding foundation unavailable to most humans. 146
- Known racial techniques include the One-Eyed Kingdom's golden-light eye arts and the Hairy People's powerful close-quarters physiques. 170
- The strength of individual Alien Humans varies significantly by kingdom, bloodline, cultivation, and standing within the Immortal Palace. 161 186
Immortal Arts
The strongest Alien Human bloodlines can employ immortal arts, a qualitative level of power Jiang Ran considers fundamentally beyond ordinary human divine abilities. 167 168
- The Shamaness Kingdom is said to produce Deity Walkers naturally. 163
- A Shamaness priestess used Witch God's Descent, transforming into a colossal serpent and summoning giant black pythons. 167
- Jiang Ran concludes that immortal arts are instinctive bloodline powers rather than techniques humans can match through ordinary lifelong cultivation. 167
- Alien Human Deity Walkers, ancestral bloodline reversions, Divine Generals, and Spirit Officials form major components of the Immortal Palace's military strength. 186 210
Known Power Structure
| Rank / Group | Position and capabilities |
|---|---|
| Ordinary cultivators | Most Alien Humans encountered by Jiang Ran were in the First Order Realm or below, including Blood-Nourishing, Spirit-Concentration, and Limit Break cultivators. 154 186 |
| Second Order beings | Powerful combatants capable of overwhelming ordinary human Transcendents; many Immortal Palace troops who descended on Free City were at least Second Order. 178 196 |
| Deity Walkers | Elite beings associated with exceptional bloodlines; Shamaness Kingdom natives are born at this level of potential. 163 186 |
| Spirit Officials and Divine Generals | High-ranking Immortal Palace personnel and battlefield commanders. 188 210 |
| Heavenly Emperor | Supreme ruler of the Immortal Palace and the Alien Human World; said to have lived for nearly ten thousand years. 186 |
Society & Culture
Kingdoms and the Immortal Palace
Alien Humans live across numerous kingdoms, with the Immortal Palace positioned above the wider hierarchy. The Heavenly Emperor rules the Immortal Palace, while powerful kingdoms—including the Ten Great Sovereign Kingdoms—supply their own bloodlines, armies, and elites. 117 186
| Kingdom / Faction | Documented traits |
|---|---|
| One-Eyed Kingdom | Its people specialize in eye techniques that fire golden light, but are physically vulnerable at close range. 170 |
| Hairy People Kingdom | Long-haired, physically powerful close-combat fighters with little tactical sophistication. 170 |
| Shamaness Kingdom | A powerful kingdom whose people are born as Deity Walkers; its faith centers on Wuxian. 163 185 |
| Owl-Sun Kingdom | Its people include human-looking cultivators; Brahma City's princes belonged to this kingdom. 154 155 |
| Feathered People Kingdom | Its people possess wings; some were gathered under Ba Snake's faction. 186 187 |
| Xuanyuan Kingdom / Clan | Claims descent from the Yellow Emperor's strongest troops and later seeks Jiang Ran's support against the Immortal Palace. 185 196 |
| Dormant Dragon Society | A covert organization of Alien Humans left in the human world by earlier Abyssal Void openings; its members wait for the Void to reopen. 195 |
Human Livestock
Alien Human society widely treats humans as livestock, food, or a resource tied to access to the real world. Human captives are transported in prison carts, mentally controlled, sold, and discussed in terms of consumption. 155 169 171
- Alien Human children are taught that humans can be eaten. 172
- Jiang Ran finds that their recorded culinary traditions focus on methods of preparing human flesh. 155
- The Alien Humans' previous withdrawals after destroying humanity's supernatural inheritances are believed to have resulted from insufficient human population for all Alien Humans to qualify to enter the real world. 144 174
- Their towns and social customs imitate human society—using Tang official speech, taverns, martial culture, and familiar games—while retaining the treatment of humans as food. 154 155
Infiltration of Human Society
Alien Humans have infiltrated human cities for extended periods, sometimes maintaining human identities for decades or descending from agents left behind after a previous Abyssal Void opening. 194 195
- They can pose as civilians, officials, Transcendent captains, and local heroes. 77 91 198
- Yungang City's Safe Zone was covertly occupied by Alien Humans controlling eye-removed Transcendents. 111 112
- The Dormant Dragon Society includes descendants of ancient kingdoms who concealed themselves in the real world while awaiting the Abyssal Void's return. 195
- Some infiltrators formed genuine ties with humans: WuqI Thirteen had a human wife and a half-human son, while Captain Lin had a human wife and daughter. 195 198
History
Earlier Supernatural Eras
Humanity's supernatural civilization was destroyed repeatedly before the current era. Xin Hao states that Alien Humans defeated humanity through superior inherited divine abilities, then voluntarily withdrew after each collapse. 144
The Alien Human World is portrayed as vastly larger and richer in cultivation resources than the real world. Despite this, its inhabitants seek access to the human world, with the Immortal Palace and its kingdoms treating passage rights as a major objective. 174 186
Current Abyssal Void Opening
Alien Humans initially appeared in the human world through hidden infiltration and limited contact, including a Federation-monitored auction. Their presence became increasingly public after evidence emerged of their predation on humans and their ability to masquerade as human officials. 74 77 90 91
Jiang Ran later discovered the Alien Human World directly. His investigations confirmed that nearly every local Alien Human possessed cultivation and revealed a society in which human captivity and consumption were normalized. 153 154 155
Open War
Alien Human forces began large-scale incursions after Immortal Palaces descended over more than twenty Federation cities. Their initial troops were predominantly Second Order cultivators, placing them well above many human Transcendents. 196
Human forces subsequently ambushed an invading army at a gate, while Jiang Ran attacked Immortal Palace forces in their own territory. The Federation later announced the destruction of twenty-one Immortal Palaces and the deaths of more than one million Alien Humans. 188 198
The war continued in Antarctica, where forty-seven Immortal Palaces and a massive Alien Human army confronted the Federation and its allied cultivators. 210
Relationships
- Humanity — Longstanding enemy and source of human livestock; Alien Human invasions have repeatedly ended humanity's supernatural eras. 144 155 196
- Immortal Palace — Supreme political and military authority over the wider Alien Human World, led by the Heavenly Emperor. 186
- Federation — Opposes Alien Human incursions and conducts investigations, arrests, and clearance operations against infiltrators. 188 195 198
- Kui Organization — Major human resistance force led by Jiang Ran; repeatedly battles Alien Human armies in both worlds. 179 196
- Xuanyuan Clan — An Alien Human faction that offers allegiance to Jiang Ran and joins his campaign against the Immortal Palace. 185 196
