Great Xia

Biodata

Background

Great Xia operates in the Martial Arts Era, which began after the deployment of an Origin Spirit Starstone enabled Blue Star lifeforms to absorb spirit energy directly fifty-one years earlier 316. Over five decades, its martial artists and military forces repeatedly cleared Exotic Beast gathering areas and established a defensive network of Base Cities. Its territory is depicted as being shaped like a rooster, with the Qinghai-Tibet Base City chain, Yin Mountains, and Yan Mountains forming major defensive boundaries 173.

At the start of the national cleansing campaign, Great Xia maintained 108 Base Cities. Exotic Beast nests around those cities had restricted civilian travel, agriculture, and access to highways for decades 233 234.

Government and Administration

The Great Xia Council is the state's highest authority. Its formal councilors hold authority over military command, the establishment or dismantling of Base Cities, and access to top-secret archives; all twelve formal councilors are Sixth-Rank Grandmasters 169.

Honorary Councilors possess authority equal to formal councilors, with their appointments automatically converting once they reach the Sixth Rank. Song Chen received this status after handing over the Dark River Source Spirit Crystal field 169.

Known Council Figures

Territory and Defenses

• Shangjing is Great Xia's primary Base City. It contains the black Great Xia Council tower, layered military, industrial, and residential zones, and a heavily defended spaceport 194.
• Shangjing's outer Wilderness has been converted into a kill zone over one hundred kilometers wide through artillery and flamethrower bombardment, denying approaching Exotic Beasts cover or concealment 194.
• The Great Xia Exotic Beast Distribution Map is jointly maintained by the Martial Artist Guild and military. It marks known gathering areas by danger level: green, yellow, red, and black Forbidden Zones 173.
• At the Dark River site near Evergreen City's ruins, Great Xia ordered a permanent garrison, sealed a 300-kilometer radius under the highest confidentiality protocol, and began constructing its largest spirit-energy resource base 168 172.

Military Strength and Mobilization

Great Xia's military treats councilors as strategic assets. The Council provides them with dedicated guard teams, exclusive spacecraft, and broad access to military regions and restricted areas 173 174.

Research and Strategic Resources

Source Spirit Crystal Research

Great Xia is among the nations investigating the meteorite impact and Source Spirit Crystals that transformed Blue Star. It participated in Origin Point, a secret organization founded by intelligence agencies from the world's twelve major nations to research the meteorite, crystals, energy wavelengths, and alien script 167.

Great Xia recovered a Source Spirit Crystal from the South Sea and divided it among three Sixth-Rank Grandmasters. Zhou Wangyue's crystal accelerates combat-technique cultivation tenfold 166.

Dark River

The Dark River is an underground field formed by shattered Source Spirit Crystal fragments and circulating Blue Light Spots. Its water can gradually increase a martial artist's blood vitality without combat or medicinal pills, though the field collapses if the fragments are moved 168.

Song Chen voluntarily transferred the site to Great Xia because it could cultivate large numbers of ordinary martial artists and would justify a permanent garrison near his parents' home 168. In return, Great Xia granted him Honorary Councilor status, 200 billion GXC, thirty percent of future Dark River revenue, and an S-Class battle armor set 169.

Psionic Vortex

Great Xia has investigated a three-kilometer-wide psionic vortex at the meteorite's Pacific impact site for fifty years. Its psionic density exceeds the surrounding environment by more than four thousand times, destroying probes within seconds and injuring even peak Sixth-Rank investigators; it was believed that Seventh Rank would be required to enter 268.

Foreign Relations

• Four-Nation Coalition — Great Xia led a coalition with the North American Federation, Europa Alliance, and South Asian Coalition to exploit the Sky Wolf Clan's conflict with the Ice Demon Clan in the Arctic 171.
• Bear Nation, Eagle Nation, and European Union — These powers coordinated with Great Xia during Arctic operations and later received its notice of a global Beast Emperor purge 195 276.
• Ocean Imperial Clans — The Giant Whale King and Sea Dragon King threatened every coastal Base City unless Great Xia stopped its land-beast extermination campaign. The Council ultimately chose to continue the campaign 245.
• Sea Dragon Tribe — After Yuan Qian's surrender, Great Xia gained detailed intelligence on oceanic Beast Emperor locations and patrol routes, shifting the balance of power in the ocean war 302.
• Cangxing Alliance — Great Xia's leadership discovered that humanity's spirit-energy era was an investment by the Cangxing Alliance. Blue Star became the first successful civilization among four investment attempts, but incurred a debt requiring eventual repayment 315 316.
