Earth Origin Star

Biodata

Background / History

Ancient inhabitants of Earth Origin Star reached Old Soil more than a thousand years before the modern era. Some returned and left behind accounts that became legends of demons, monsters, and other supernatural beings; feudal authorities prevented the information from spreading accurately. 67 68 70 72

In the modern era, Old Soil formed a connection with Earth Origin Star through gateways known as Bridges, whose endpoints appeared only in sparsely populated regions. Governments worldwide jointly disclosed Old Soil’s existence more than seventy years before Lin Xuan’s research, launching the era of reclamation. 16

The disclosure redirected international competition toward Old Soil’s resources. Earth Origin Star’s nations rapidly reorganized around exploration, and most of its extraordinary professions and “unscientific” technologies became tied to Old Soil. 16

Society and Development

• Extraordinary professions — Mutants, Mech-Energy Users, Martial Artists, psychics, and Mystic Scholars all have roots in Old Soil’s technologies, methods, or power systems. 16
• Technology — Contact with Old Soil accelerated technological development; Earth Origin Star is considered second only to San Die Star among its four allied Primal Human civilizations in technological strength. 79 124
• Old Soil limitation — Creations not native to Old Soil do not function normally there, forcing Earth Origin Star’s pioneers to rely on technologies and weapons acquired from other civilizations. 79
• Military hierarchy — Earth Origin Star recognizes Old Soil’s unified life-level standard: soldier, warrior-general, commander, monarch, and domain king. 75
• Main Cities — Nations that establish Main Cities in Old Soil are regarded as superpowers. Great Xia operates four of Earth Origin Star’s Main Cities, while the Golden Eagle Federation operates three. 74

Position in Old Soil

Earth Origin Star is one of many civilizations connected to Old Soil and is regarded as an ordinary extraterritorial civilization. Its Primal Human population occupies a low position in Old Soil’s racial hierarchy, where evolved races generally possess inherited abilities and superior physical traits. 16 121

The planet lacks a native Monarch-level powerhouse. Its publicly known Supreme Experts are peak High-Ranking Commanders, a limitation that leaves Earth Origin Star dependent on alliances and vulnerable to intimidation by stronger Old Soil factions. 96 172 196

Earth Origin Star joined with San Die Star, Star Cluster Realm, and Martial Worship Continent because the four Primal Human civilizations faced similar discrimination and security pressures. Ba Wu Giant City later accepted them as affiliated forces, though Earth Origin Star’s affairs are handled only by the City Lord’s Mansion’s minor Extraterritorial Affairs Office. 121 171

Second World Declaration

Old Soil’s mutation began weakening the barriers of the Bridges. Disasters appearing on Earth Origin Star marked the spread of Old Soil’s influence through those weakening connections. 102

The resulting Second World Declaration caused unrest, particularly in smaller nations. Great Xia and other major powers contained the disruption more effectively, then began concentrating their Old Soil forces around strategically valuable territories and Main Cities. 91 96

Earth Origin Safety Council

The Earth Origin Safety Council was established after the declaration as an independent international body led by major transcendent organizations. Its decision-making body has seven permanent members: the leaders of the official transcendent organizations of the four major powers and three representatives of the planet’s Supreme Experts. 96

The Council intervenes when Commander-level superhumans overthrow governments or enslave civilians, eliminating those who cross its boundaries. 196

Effects of the Old Soil Mutation

• Rising Source Power — Source Power concentration on Earth Origin Star is steadily increasing, allowing more ordinary people—including some previously deemed untalented—to awaken supernatural abilities. 196
• Expansion of superhumans — The number and overall strength of superhumans have risen sharply, particularly among Martial Artists. 104 196
• Education reforms — Great Xia replaced its former school system with ten years of compulsory education centered on martial arts, while academic subjects became electives. 96
• Institutional restructuring — Public Security Bureaus increasingly handle ordinary supernatural incidents, while Crimson Flame addresses threats beyond their capacity. 196
• Growing disasters — Calamities on Earth Origin Star are becoming more frequent and more dangerous, making supernatural development a matter of survival for much of the population. 196
• Persistent world laws — Even if the Bridge restrictions disappear, Earth Origin Star’s world laws will remain, though weakened by Old Soil’s influence. 147

Cosmology

Earth Origin Star exists within a stellar-system plane centered on the Sunstar. As the Sunstar System approaches Old Soil, observations beyond the system have become unreliable because its presumed physical laws are changing. 199

Old Soil is a polyhedral world of countless realms within the Starsea. It continuously devours other worlds and incorporates them into itself; nearly half of its present form is said to consist of worlds consumed over countless years. Earth Origin Star’s stellar-system plane is one such world marked for eventual devouring. 199

Relationships

• Old Soil — Connected through Bridges; its mutation is transforming Earth Origin Star and threatens eventual assimilation. 16 102 199
• Ba Wu Giant City — Superior giant-city power that accepted Earth Origin Star and three allied Primal Human civilizations as affiliated forces. 121 171
• Great Martial Royal Court — The royal court to which Earth Origin Star is expected to belong after its connection with Old Soil fully develops. 121 196
• San Die Star — Allied Primal Human civilization with the strongest technology among the four allies. 121
• Star Cluster Realm — Allied Primal Human civilization whose deities cannot travel to Old Soil because of its world’s rules. 121
• Martial Worship Continent — Allied Primal Human civilization and the strongest of the four in individual combat strength after producing Monarch-level martial artists. 121
• Earth Origin Safety Council — International transcendent body responsible for maintaining order among Earth Origin Star’s nations. 96 196
