History

Destruction in Chen Lie's Previous Timeline

In Chen Lie's previous life, Blue Star was destroyed by an Exotic Beast tide. At the time of his rebirth, that destruction lay fifty years in his personal past; in the current timeline, he later estimated that the disaster was a little over ten years away. This destruction is a prior-timeline event, not Blue Star's present status. 1 413

Chen Lie's previous experiences also showed that producing a Heaven-Human Grandmaster alone would not save the planet. He therefore concluded that Blue Star needed an expert beyond that realm. Although persecution by Blue Star's powerful families had alienated him in his previous life, his surviving family, friends, and benefits from the current talent cultivation system gave him a renewed desire to protect the planet. 269 413

Geography and Interstellar Position

Blue Star is located in a remote sector of the Central Galactic Empire, within the eastern Canglan Star Domain. It is one of five life-bearing planets in its regional cluster. Red Flame Planet has the strongest martial civilization among the five, while Wood Source Planet has historically been Blue Star's closest competitor. The other two planets are Shuimang Star and Jintian Star. 115 125 330 502

• Blue Star's approximate mass is 600 trillion trillion tons. Ninth-Rank Martial Artists can briefly fly on planets below 80 trillion trillion tons after cultivating Innate Primordial Qi. 270
• Its martial civilization is considered comparable to Wood Source Planet's, while Shuimang Star and Jintian Star are weaker. The burden of the Exotic Beast crisis subsequently allowed Wood Source Planet's overall strength to begin surpassing Blue Star's before the Permanent Council Star Contest. 125 330
• Blue Star's remoteness limits its access to high-level cultivation knowledge, rare treasures, and Mental Power resources from the Outer Stars. 2 52 80
• Before its rise to Permanent Councilor Star status, Blue Star's interstellar diplomacy was described as among the weakest in the Canglan Star Domain, with few connections to major Central Star Region planets. 270
• Its information networks remained less developed than those of Langya Star, Jurong Star, and Hetai Star, which had already spent ten years as their respective regions' Permanent Councilor Stars. 641

Administrative Centers and Travel

• Lanjing is a major governmental and cultivation center. Chen Xingyao was brought there for protection and advanced training by the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association. It lies more than ten thousand kilometers from East River Province, a journey of just over half an hour by miniature Star Boat. 253
• Lanjing Star Boat Plaza hosted the public reception for Chen Lie after his Starry Sky University championship. 630
• Chen Lie's voyage from Red Flame Planet to Blue Star took approximately three hours. A direct Star Boat journey from Canglong Star would have taken at least two days and nights. 630

Government and Society

Blue Star operates a modern federal system under its United Government. The Blue Star Political Council stands above the Martial Artist Association in the planet's institutional hierarchy; the association's vice president possesses greater authority than Blue Star University's principal. 17 330 340

• The planet's highest martial talents can become Administrator Candidates. Their personal information and appearances are normally withheld from the public for security reasons. 275
• Chen Lie was publicly recognized as an Administrator Candidate after securing Blue Star's Permanent Councilor Star seat. 500 630
• Despite formally strict laws, entrenched privileged classes retain considerable influence. In Chen Lie's previous life, Political Council member and Lanjing governor Yan Zhaoxian manipulated the legal system to brand him an Outer Stars spy and pursue him across the planet. 122 341
• The modern social structure places less weight on traditional master-disciple bonds than many other interstellar societies, although such relationships remain significant. 546

Martial Civilization

Blood-Qi Cultivation

The Blood-Qi Stage is Blue Star's foundational martial realm, but its local cultivation methods were historically crude. Children generally cannot begin formal martial training until age fourteen because traditional Blue Star body-tempering techniques can damage undeveloped bodies. 3 24

• Blue Star uses an Outer Stars-derived Blood Qi Value system measured in Ka, allowing martial artists to track cultivation progress precisely. 353
• Advanced Outer Stars knowledge is necessary to maintain Strength Values beyond three times one's Blood Qi; such knowledge is tightly restricted from newly interstellar planets. 80
• The Blood-Qi Extreme Realm has become central to Blue Star's genius cultivation. Its Small Extreme Realm is characterized by marrow refined “like mercury” and blood-qi “like slurry,” while the Great Extreme Realm is Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow. 293
• Blue Star's top provinces increasingly use Outer Stars techniques and resources to cultivate Blood-Qi geniuses capable of competing beyond the planet. 293 327
• In poorer provinces, ordinary students may become Ranked Martial Artists with only approximately 200 Ka of Blood Qi, while more talented students may advance at approximately 1,000 Ka. More complete Outer Stars instruction treats the Blood-Qi Stage as a major cultivation realm rather than merely a preliminary stage before ranked martial cultivation. 200 293
• The Blue Star Blood-Qi Stage Martial Artist Ranking evaluates both cultivation and Strength Value. Organ Refining completion alone does not guarantee inclusion; its top ten were reported to possess approximately eightfold Strength Values. 269
• The Blue Star Ten Elites were known across the Eastern Star Region as ten young cultivators who had reached the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi. Hao Yulong and Zuo Yuan'er were among their members. 359 372
• Jiang Yuan was the first cultivator to achieve Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow on Blue Star itself, using an imported breakthrough method. Zuo Yuan'er and Hao Yulong subsequently benefited from his experience. Earlier Blue Star cultivators had made that breakthrough in the Outer Stars. 458
• By the Permanent Council Star Contest, Blue Star fielded nine Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm contestants, compared with Wood Source Planet's eight. Its Grandmaster contestants were assessed as slightly stronger, while the True Qi divisions were evenly matched. 477
• Blue Star's strongest fighters had developed rapidly enough in the preceding two years to approach the standards of some Central Star Region planets. 466

Genius Development System

Blue Star's Martial Artist Association operates a merit-based cultivation pipeline intended to identify and support exceptional talent regardless of background. The system was established in response to the urgent need for an expert capable of resolving the Northwest Beast Plague. 292

• Blue Star concentrates substantial resources on Lanjing, Jingji, and Longhai, seeking to cultivate an initial group strong enough to obtain further resources from the Outer Stars. The Genius Training Camps in those provinces each support no more than approximately one hundred students because of planetary resource constraints. 327
• Blue Star University provides secret methods for increasing Strength Value, extensive cultivation resources, and specialized Genius and Super Genius classes. 330 335 378
• Super Genius Class students receive individual counseling after challenge-match defeats or ranking declines. A major purpose is to detect and prevent disputes that could weaken Blue Star's united front against outside competitors. 378
• The Northwest General Star system annually recognizes seven outstanding young participants. Before Chen Lie's selection, recipients had consistently come from the top twenty provinces; he became the first recipient from East River Province. 281
• Blue Star continues supporting selected talents after they enter Starry Sky University, although students must also compete for resources independently under the university's interstellar system. 269 340

Mental Power Cultivation

Mental Power cultivation is less developed on Blue Star than martial cultivation. The authorities actively encourage Divine Sense Masters, including through resource subsidies for officially certified practitioners. 39

• Blue Star cannot produce Mental Power Treasures locally and must import them from the Outer Stars. Their scarcity can make a single treasure worth more than ten Martial Dao Rare Treasures on the planet. 52 105 227
• Divine Sense Grandmasters occupy the highest levels of Blue Star society. Their Mental Power attacks provide an overwhelming advantage against ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters of comparable rank. 75
• Chen Xingyao ranked second on Blue Star and ninety-second in the Canglan Star Domain's Apprentice Divine Sense Master assessment, with a Consciousness Sea score of 16,280,000. The association subsequently moved her to Lanjing because of her strategic importance and the risk of Outer Stars espionage. 192 253
• Blue Star's leaders regarded either a Tenth-Order Heaven-Human Grandmaster or a Ninth-Order Mental Power Grandmaster as urgently necessary to address its internal and external threats. 253
• Chen Lie's Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit and unusual Mental Power abilities made him a major strategic asset, particularly after he demonstrated the ability to replenish the Crystal Pillars. 398 415

Crystal Pillars

The twelve Crystal Pillars are among Blue Star's most important martial resources. Each contains an Outer Stars martial arts secret technique; successfully comprehending one can raise a cultivator's Strength Value by approximately 0.1 times. 394

• The Pillars' Mental Power is consumable, forcing Blue Star to restrict enlightenment opportunities even for Genius Class students. 398
• The Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art preserved in the Pillars helped produce Blue Star's Great Extreme Realm martial artists during the previous two years. Fully comprehending its twelve forms can increase Strength Value by at least 0.7 times. 333 396
• Two Pillars were destroyed in an attack involving Blue Star University instructor Zhang Hongyang and an eighth-rank attacker, severely damaging the planet's martial foundations. The damaged structures were the first and eighth Pillars. 395 412
• Zhang Hongyang claimed that people he believed to be from Wood Source Planet had abducted his daughter and coerced his assistance. Blue Star officials investigated suspected accomplices and detained visiting students from Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star for questioning. 395
• Lin Muzhi initially concluded that Blue Star's Divine Sense Masters could not repair the damage and that assistance from an Outer Stars Mental Power Grandmaster might be necessary. 395
• Chen Lie later restored a damaged Pillar's Mental Power to full abundance; Blue Star's leaders concealed this capability to prevent external assassination attempts. 415
• Officials recognized that replenishing the Pillars could remove their usage restrictions and substantially accelerate Blue Star's martial development. 398

Interstellar Resource Access

Blue Star's rise in interstellar standing improved its access to resources, but advanced treasures and cultivation knowledge remained heavily dependent on outside institutions. 292 625

• Chen Lie's university-wide freshman championship earned Blue Star a Dazzling-Gold Martial Seal Medal, part of a reward system jointly established by the Saint Envoy Hall and the Interstellar Alliance for planets that cultivate exceptional geniuses. 625
• The medal allows Blue Star to use its own currency to purchase category-two publicly owned resources, up to a quota worth thirty million Star-Origin Galactic Coins. It is a purchasing entitlement rather than an unrestricted cash award. 625
• The eligible resources come from resource planets administered by the Ten-Star Alliance and include cultivation treasures, spiritual herbs and medicines, energy deposits, and other materials important to planetary development. 625
• Blue Star sent no representative to Chen Lie's award ceremony. Zhang Wenwu apologized for the governmental oversight, and Chen Lie entrusted the medal to him for Blue Star's use. 625

Defense and Threats

Northwest Kunlun Ruins

The Northwest Kunlun Ruins are Blue Star's most severe internal crisis. Exotic Beasts continuously emerge from an Earth Cave within the region, requiring constant containment by the Northwest Army. 292

• At least 10,000 Exotic Beasts emerge each day; the highest reported daily activity reached 13,574, including thirteen Tier 7 Exotic Beasts. 292
• The Earth Cave produces roughly four million Exotic Beasts annually, while the total population in the Kunlun Ruins is estimated at over ten million. 292
• A failure to maintain the Northwest Defense Line could allow the infestation to spread across the planet and compress humanity's living space. 292
• Thermal and nuclear weapons have proven insufficient or counterproductive against the infestation; Blue Star believes a Tenth-Order Heaven-Human Grandmaster may be needed to reach the Earth Cave's depths and resolve its source. 292
• The crisis has tied down roughly eighty percent of Blue Star's standing military forces, prompting plans to expand the military by two million personnel. The preliminary target was to complete this expansion before March of Galactic Calendar year 7366, both to reinforce the Northwest Frontline and contribute to the Interstellar Allied Forces. 490 507 516
• A Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast required Shi Yuanzheng and numerous Grandmaster commanders to cooperate before it could be killed. Chen Lie feared that repeated appearances of such beasts would overwhelm Blue Star's existing extreme-realm Grandmasters. 490
• Chen Lie's knowledge of the previous timeline contradicts the authorities' expectation that a Heaven-Human Grandmaster would necessarily end the crisis: he knew that even reaching that realm had not prevented Blue Star's destruction. 413

Dark Moon

Dark Moon is a hostile organization historically supported by Blue Star's external rivals, particularly Wood Source Planet, and dedicated to eliminating Blue Star's promising geniuses. 94 125 636

• Over a ten-year period, Dark Moon assassinated eighty-seven Divine Sense geniuses and numerous high-level martial talents, including Blood-Qi Extreme Realm practitioners. 94
• Blue Star's United Government conducted a two-year global purge that eliminated a Grandmaster-level Dark Moon martial artist and hundreds of its top personnel. 94
• The organization historically remained difficult to eradicate because off-world forces continued supplying it with resources. 94
• Dark Moon was among the covert organizations that developed from remnants of nations defeated during planetary unification. Wood Source Planet also supported Phantom Shadow and Norse. 330
• After Blue Star's Administrator visited Wood Source Planet, the latter disclosed its intelligence on Dark Moon, including headquarters and provincial base locations. Blue Star then deployed tens of thousands of elite troops in a surprise operation. 636
• According to Song Yixuan, her family, friends, and elders at headquarters were captured. Her father subsequently told her to abandon the organization and live as an ordinary Blue Star citizen, stating that no one else in Dark Moon knew her identity anymore. 636

Covert Infiltration

• During the Permanent Council Star Contest, Yang Jingnian revealed himself as a mole planted by the Dark Star organization to avenge the former Eastern Camp Kingdom. He injured multiple Blue Star contestants and poisoned Ning Fan with violent qi powder. Wang Shou suspected that Wood Source Planet had promised support for restoring the former kingdom, but Wood Source Planet denied involvement. 482
• Blue Star's leaders emphasized unity among contestants because personal rivalries and internal disputes could undermine the planet's interstellar interests. 466
• During preparations for the Four-Sided Star Domain Contest, Chang Fukun secretly discussed acting against Chen Lie with an outside party. He acknowledged that Blue Star's two Ninth-Order Grandmasters made such action difficult; Chen Lie later grew suspicious of his conduct. 635 636

Interstellar Allied Forces Command

The establishment of the 19th Interstellar Allied Forces created both obligations and strategic risks for Blue Star. Each participating planet was required to contribute personnel and resources, further straining manpower already committed to the Northwest Beast Plague. 490

• Securing command authority would allow Blue Star to appoint a Ninth-Order Grandmaster as commander and gain greater influence over mission assignments. Failure would expose its forces to potentially dangerous assignments imposed by other regions. 603
• The command contest was therefore considered no less important than the Permanent Council Star Contest. 603
• True Qi team battles could employ combined-strike formations capable of multiplying participants' strength. Langya Star, Hetai Star, and Jurong Star purchased off-world Combined Strike Techniques, prompting Blue Star to prepare comparable training and request Chen Lie's early return for at least half a month of practice. 627
• The Eastern Star Region ultimately won, and Blue Star secured leadership in organizing the new force. 651

Interstellar Relations

• Central Galactic Empire — Blue Star is a remote jurisdiction of the Empire and remains far behind its core worlds in martial development. Its United Government formally recognizes the planet's inhabitants as imperial citizens and uses the Galactic Calendar. 2 17 115
• Wood Source Planet — Blue Star's principal historical regional rival. The two planets fought a decade-long struggle for the Eastern Star Region's permanent council position, which Blue Star ultimately won. Their contest included reciprocal assassinations and support for covert forces. Relations later shifted toward cooperation when Wood Source Planet supplied intelligence that enabled Blue Star's crackdown on Dark Moon. 292 330 503 636
• Red Flame Planet — The only one of the Five Eastern Stars stated to surpass Blue Star in martial civilization. Its royal representatives have pursued cooperation with Blue Star against the Exotic Beast crisis. Zhu Jingxi proposed exchanging Blue Star military assistance against Red Flame Planet's rebels for an investigation of the Kunlun Earth Cave by a Heaven-Human Grandmaster. 125 270
• Great Yan Dynasty and Taiping Sect — Blue Star recognizes the Great Yan imperial court as Red Flame Planet's legitimate government. Its agreement with the dynasty barred it from recruiting Taiping Sect members for the Interstellar Allied Forces Command Contest; otherwise, Great Yan would withdraw its participation. 638
• Shuimang Star and Jintian Star — Fellow members of the Five Stars of the Eastern Region. Blue Star maintained reasonably good relations with them before becoming the region's leading planet; Shuimang Star participated in martial exchanges at Blue Star University. 330 359 385
• Canglan Star Domain Interstellar Alliance — Blue Star secured the Eastern Star Region's Permanent Councilor Star seat through its 20–19 victory over Wood Source Planet, obtaining leadership of the Five Eastern Stars and greater access to interstellar opportunities. 292 486
• Interstellar Allied Forces — Awarded Blue Star the Crystal Pillars and later planned a Four-Sided Star Domain force requiring Blue Star to contribute personnel and resources. After the Eastern Star Region won the command contest, Blue Star gained leadership in establishing the 19th Interstellar Allied Forces. 394 507 651
• Langya Star, Jurong Star, and Hetai Star — Permanent Councilor Stars of the Southern, Western, and Northern Star Regions, respectively, and competitors for the new allied force's command authority. After the Eastern Region's victory, Langya Star's Qi Tai acknowledged future cooperation under Blue Star's leadership. 627 641 651
• Starry Sky University — Blue Star's primary path for sending its strongest young cultivators into the Outer Stars, where they can obtain advanced knowledge and later contribute to their home planet. Its annual quota increased from 3,000 to 4,500 after gaining Permanent Councilor Star status, with 180 places allocated to the first batch. Blue Star maintains a nine-person on-campus work group led by Zhang Wenwu to handle its students' affairs. 80 178 502 510
• Interstellar reputation — Chen Lie's freshman championship made Blue Star's name widely known across the star regions. His victory was celebrated as the first time a student from outside the Ten-Star Alliance had won the competition in its thousand-year history. 630 640
