Background / History
Ming Yue identifies The Ascended as the second of three races born under his blessings, alongside the Abundance Divine Beasts and Zhang Lexuan's Moon-Mad fox-kin. Their alternate designation is the Mara-Struck Warrior race. 73
Before Ye Xishui's later petition, the Ascended numbered ten: three women from Martial Soul Hall, five from Skywater City, Huo Wu, and Ye Lingling. The Ascended assigned to the Abundance Cult's imperial branches entered a 9,000-year slumber, while the Cult expanded across the major empires. 72 78
After the Four Great Abundance Miracles were established, nine Ascended led elite branch followers known as Pseudo-Abundance Followers. These followers had drunk diluted blood from Ming Yue, causing significant alterations to their bodies and martial souls, but they remained distinct from The Ascended themselves. 77
Ye Xishui later petitioned Ming Yue to elevate herself and nine companions so they could share his burdens. Ming Yue accepted, personally administering drops of Emerald Gold Blood and raising the group from ten members to twenty. 78
The Ascended subsequently became part of Abundance's interworld expansion. Ming Yue appointed Si Ya and selected gods of the Holy Demon Continent to administer their realm after its Abundance transformation; Si Ya later arrived at Douluo Planet with six Ascended from her branch. 81 86
