History

Chen Fan renamed the Mortal Sect as the Mortal Domain after deciding that visibility and reputation were necessary for growth. Its public emergence was tied to the destruction of the Pill Sect, announced by the appearance of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and the Mortal Domain banner over the sect’s ruins 109 112.

The Domain established Mortal City beside Nameless Mountain as a commercial center. Its early expansion relied on low-priced goods, auctions, City Wall construction, trusted-faction credit, and a strategy of turning regional factions into trade partners rather than monopolizing commerce itself 125 126 127.

As its territory and workforce expanded, Mortal Domain developed specialized pavilions, high-speed rail, defense lines, undersea tunnels, and standardized construction methods. It absorbed personnel from former factions and defense lines while retaining centralized authority under Chen Fan 136 154 186.

Mortal Domain later expanded beyond Eternal Night Continent through commerce, diplomacy, preemptive warfare, and continent-wide infrastructure. Its campaigns eliminated the One-Eyed, Dark Star, and Heaven-Slaying Strange Entity Clans before they could advance further 236 241 242.

After ascending through successive continental ranks, Mortal Domain entered the Boundary Battlefield during the Third Dark Turmoil. The Human Faction stationed seven nearby continents around it because the Strange Entity Faction considered it a possible future human king 379.

Military Capabilities

Sky-Piercing Pillars

Mortal Domain’s signature long-range weapon system is the Sky-Piercing Pillar. Its arsenal includes standard, strategic, nuclear-warhead, Vanguard, Heavenly-Derivation, and Level-70 variants 230 236 404.

• Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillar — deploys Formation Discs on impact to establish an immediate teleportation point for personnel and supplies 236.
• Heavenly-Derivation Sky-Piercing Pillar — can be tracked and slightly redirected during flight through the Heavenly Derivation Formation 238.
• One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones — Heavenly Dao effect that causes a projectile to split into three 265.
• Mortal Domain used thirty million Sky-Piercing Pillars to clear a million-kilometer stretch of Strange Tide, creating a visible vacuum zone across the battlefield 402.

Heavenly Dao Cannons

Heavenly Dao Cannons are continent-scale siege weapons deployed through rapid logistical construction.

• Thirty Heavenly Dao Cannons were used to flatten One-Eyed Continent after a decapitation strike eliminated its leadership 236.
• The Mutated Heavenly Dao Cannon reduced firing costs by half and added an additional Heavenly Dao Blessing effect 243.
• Ninety-nine Heavenly Dao Cannons can be fused into a Heaven-Deriving Orbital Cannon, a Red Grade continental strategic weapon 256.

Black Tortoise Cannon

A Blue Grade city-defense building that requires a Level-10 City Wall.

• Consists of 1,024 stone blocks embedded in the wall 186.
• Can invoke the Black Tortoise Domain, slowing enemies within its range 186.
• Summons an intangible Azure Black Tortoise that attacks enemy hordes while remaining immune to enemy attacks and friendly cannon fire 186.
• Costs one million Eerie Stones per activation and remains active for approximately two incense sticks; it has no cooldown 186.

Defensive Systems

• Primordial Wall — formed by fusing Eternal Night Continent’s City Wall with all continent-protecting formations. It prevents unauthorized teleportation, supports large wall-mounted buildings, and can hide the entire continent in Myriad Tribulations for one day each year 420.
• The Primordial Wall withstood a Level-90 test attack with only minimal damage 420.
• Watchtower Mutation — extends Watchtower detection to 1,000 kilometers and provides continuous guidance for Mortal Domain Sky-Piercing Pillars 237.
• Peace Sculptures — form part of the automated air-defense network when integrated with Watchtowers, formations, and orbital cannons 265.

Economy & Administration

• Mortal Domain established a Trusted Faction system. Level One status required 50,000 Eerie Stones in spending and provided market credit, free stays at stations, and other privileges 126.
• Its initial market strategy deliberately sold Skeleton Horses, Wraith Camels, and carriages at unusually low prices so other factions could profit from resale and become dependent on Mortal Domain supply 125 127.
• The first day of major sales brought 500,000 Eerie Stones immediately, with another 2,231,500 expected through credit purchases 127.
• Identity Tokens can verify identity, transmit messages, determine a holder’s location, and grant limited building-control authority 246.
• Members receive handbooks, standard clothing, ranks, wages, and strict rules against betrayal and misappropriating funds 151 246.
• The Mortal Domain Jade Seal authenticates orders, binds oaths, slows time in a crisis, and protects its holder from death while Mortal Domain endures 202.

Diplomacy

Mortal Domain Alliance

Mortal Domain organized surrounding continents under an alliance framework centered on trade, military funding, Dark Technology Source Points, undersea connections, and eventual Continental Core support 243.

• The surrounding region was formally named the Heaven-Questioning Sea by Chen Fan 243.
• Twelve continent lords collectively provided 1.2 trillion Eerie Stones for current and future Strange Entity Clan purges 243.
• Participating continents contributed 27 Dark Technology Source Points during the alliance meeting 243.
• Under the War Dividend Dark Technology, affiliated continents increased the effectiveness of Mortal Domain city-defense buildings by 120% once its affiliated factions rose from three to twelve 342.

Continental Insurance

Mortal Domain later offered a five-year protection arrangement to World Battlefield continents.

• Affiliates provide ten percent of their resources 345.
• Mortal Domain promises protection and mediation against hostile continents or Strange Entity Clans 345.
• Continents refusing affiliation must leave the World Battlefield for thirty days and wait three months before returning, a policy Chen Fan calls “clearing the field” 345.

Culture & Society

• Mortal Domain conducts Spring Examinations and recruits successful candidates into its administration and specialist departments 220 229.
• The Whole-Sea Talent Selection recruited 70,392 people; most entered private academies, while only a select few joined the Research Pavilion 287.
• The Mortal Domain Daily functions as news outlet, historical record, propaganda instrument, and source of information for outsiders 230 241.
• The Mortal Domain History Book records Chen Fan’s exile to Jiangbei Wasteland, early camp-building, and the Domain’s rise from three Eerie Stones and a small group of survivors 242.
• Citizens’ prayers can be collected as Popular Will, which powered the “Lights of Ten Thousand Homes · In the Dim Place” contingency and allowed construction without resource consumption 340.

Notable Policies

• “Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys” — defaulting factions are to be punished publicly to deter nonpayment under the credit system 126.
• Accelerated Growth and Elimination of Hidden Dangers — develop weaker continents while preemptively removing races likely to become dangerous future threats 234.
• Pulling the Firewood from Beneath the Cauldron — campaign to identify and eliminate factions still two continents away from Third-Level advancement before they mature 242.
• Branching Out — expansion plan through which allied continents secure submissions from additional continents under Mortal Domain’s protection structure 360.
• First-Level Combat Readiness — full wartime mobilization posture, including defensive preparation, strategic stockpiling, and personnel coordination 378.
