Background / History
Xia Kingdom was founded by Ying Wu, the Xia King, who used his overwhelming strength to rebuild civilization rather than seek personal imperial rule. According to Zhu Zhong, the Xia King destroyed those who sought to enslave others and established a state founded on fairness, modernity, spatial transport, and access to food and resources. 149 208
The nation established Xia City as its first and largest foothold in the Earth Immortal Realm. From there, it competed with the Five Surnames and the demon race for territory, World Fragments, inheritances, and access to Dao-Seeking Cliff. 191 196 221
After the Xia King became trapped or disappeared, the balance between humans and demons deteriorated. Xia Kingdom prepared for full-scale war, expanded the Demon-Conquering Army, and used the Centennial War to contest demon territory and resources. 221 359 421
The Five Surnames’ divisions—especially the Cai Family’s cooperation with the Crow King and demon race—deepened Xia Kingdom’s internal crisis. Xia City was eventually destroyed after the Five Surnames lured Whale Calamity to it; Marshal Zhu Chongba died buying time for Zhao Hua to escape, while Zhang Tao fought the Crow King at Eight-Hundred-Li Flame Mountain. 196 263 427
To preserve its people, Xia Kingdom prepared the Fireseed Plan, using a Black Tortoise’s hidden space and a Heavenly Court spacecraft to transfer sleeping citizens into the Mythical Realm and deploy them to prepared strongholds. 979
After Li Su returned following a nineteen-to-twenty-year absence, he was recognized as Xia Kingdom’s new king. Under his protection, the nation recovered, integrated into the Western Alliance and Mythical Realm institutions, and began advancing the theory of Grand Unification. 1179 1180 1335
Government and Society
State principles
Xia Kingdom presents itself as a civilization-centered state built around law, public order, and protection of the weak. Its founders rejected rule by powerful clans and sought to restore a modern society supported by spatial transportation and institutional governance. 208
Peaceful nonhuman races may become protected citizens. The Fox and Panda Clans, along with more than thirteen other ethnic minorities, are entitled to education, political participation, and military service under Xia Kingdom law. 196
“What we believe in is seeking common ground while reserving differences. We do not reject living beings who yearn for peace and wish to join our great family.”
— Zhu Zhong 196

When full war preparations began, Xia Kingdom cancelled leave, withdrew eighty percent of national resources, and instituted doubled rewards for killing hostile demons. 421
Centennial War
The Centennial War is the principal conflict between Xia Kingdom and the demon race. A national war consists of three stages:
| Match type | Participants | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Troop battle | Mana Realm cultivators | 100 combatants per side; three rounds to the death |
| General battle | Divine Power Realm cultivators | Ten rounds between both sides’ generals |
| Army battle | Armies of 100,000 | Siege battle ending by concession or capture of the main city |
The demon race offered Xia Kingdom five billion Mana Realm transcendent crystals and the Apricot Yellow Banner when moving the Centennial War to the Endless Battlefield. The banner was strategically vital because it could secure humanity’s Mortal Realm rear against Immortal Realm attacks. 363 374
