Yao

Biodata

Background / History

The Yao trace their early origins back to the primitive post-cataclysmic era of the Primordial World, where various bird, beast, and spirit factions roamed the land and stars 2 30. Formally consolidated under the leadership of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi from the Solar Star, the myriad creatures unite to oppose rival factions and challenge the established order of the Heavenly Dao 14 30. Initially clashing with Dong Wang Gong's short-lived Immortal Court, the Yao launch a massive military assault on Zifu Continent, destroying the court and absorbing its remnants 26 29. Following this victory, Di Jun publicly declares the founding of the Yao, establishing the Solar Star as their power base before ultimately claiming the ancient Heaven Realm in the Thirty-Three Heavens to found the Yao Heavenly Court 30 36. Their rise brings them into direct, bitter conflict with the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Wu tribe, setting off a dual-factions struggle for supremacy over the Primordial World 30 38.
