Background

The Qianyuan Divine Dynasty was founded by Great Emperor Qianyuan during the Era of Emperors. Its lineage later produced Great Emperor Xietao, Great Emperor Xuanbing, Great Emperor Baiyan, and Great Emperor Zixiao, giving it a total of five Emperors. 1

It is regarded as a major power of the Southern Region and one of the Eastern Wasteland's foremost Imperial Lineage forces. Its five-Emperor heritage makes it substantially stronger than several regional rivals that possess only one Emperor in their lineages. 11 13 88

The dynasty's imperial city contains the Qianyuan Palace, residence of successive Divine Emperors, as well as the Divine Dynasty Secret Treasury. 5

History

Selection of Gu Changge

Gu Zhantian and Su Yurou originally intended Gu Changge's ten adopted sisters to shoulder the dynasty's future. Gu Changge's actions against Tianshui Holy Land, Lihuo Holy Land, and the Ye Family caused them to reconsider and begin grooming him as a possible successor instead. 5 6

Gu Zhantian granted Gu Changge access to the Secret Treasury to select four Emperor Scriptures and three Emperor Artifacts, then stated that he would personally oversee his son's cultivation. 5

The Divine Dynasty Grand Competition was also intended to establish Gu Changge over the dynasty's younger generation in preparation for succession. Gu Changge won first place. 7 10

Conflict with the Yuhuang Divine Dynasty

The Yuhuang Divine Dynasty is one of Qianyuan's sworn enemies and another of the Southern Region's Four Divine Dynasties. Unlike Qianyuan's five-Emperor heritage, Yuhuang has produced three Emperors. 4 11 14

After Gu Changge killed Yuhuang's Third Prince, Shen Changzhi, in the Xuantian Secret Realm, Yuhuang sent a delegation to demand his life. Gu Zhantian refused and declared that Qianyuan would not fear an Immortal War with Yuhuang. 14

When the Yuhuang delegation escalated the confrontation, Gu Zhantian activated the Sky Locking Formation and ordered the dynasty's Divine Generals and Divine Ministers to kill every Yuhuang expert present. 15

Changge Hall Headquarters

Gu Changge established Changge Hall with its main hall in the Qianyuan imperial city. He named numerous heirs from major powers as Supreme Elders and instructed them to create branches, recruit members, and develop intelligence networks within their original factions. 44

The dynasty's imperial city consequently became the center of Gu Changge's expanding interregional organization. 44 45

Dragon Abyss Expedition

When the Dragon Abyss Forbidden Land opened, Gu Zhantian ordered Gu Changge to lead Qianyuan's Divine Soldiers and Generals alongside disciples from the Jade Pool Holy Land. 94

The dynasty entered Wanglong City in a highly visible military procession. Its arrival drew attention from cultivators across the Eastern Wasteland, while Gu Changge's status as Qianyuan's successor became central to the gathering of Imperial Lineage heirs. 94 96 100

Relationships

• Jade Pool Holy Land — Closely linked through Su Yurou, who is both Gu Zhantian's consort and Jade Pool's Holy Lord. The two forces jointly dispatched disciples and Quasi-Emperor experts to Dragon Abyss. 5 94 96
• Yuhuang Divine Dynasty — Sworn enemy and rival among the Southern Region's Four Divine Dynasties; relations deteriorated further after the deaths of Yuhuang princes and its failed delegation. 4 14 15
• Tianshui Holy Land — Held a grudge against Qianyuan for three hundred years over a contested treasure. The grievance was formally cleared when Gu Changge took Tianshui's Saintess as a follower. 2 3
• Lihuo Holy Land — Had longstanding enmity after its Holy Son provoked Qianyuan five hundred years earlier and was killed by a Qianyuan Old Ancestor. 3
• Changge Hall — An organization headquartered in the imperial city and led by Gu Changge, drawing its members and intelligence network from many regional powers. 44
