Background / History

Survival After the Great Nirvana

The Great Nirvana Period reduced China from a vast nation to a country confined to six base cities. Soldiers defended these settlements against monsters, suffering heavy losses during beast tides. Jia Yi devoted himself to China's survival throughout this period 28.

China's military actively recruited promising martial artists. Its offer to Li Xin included immediate appointment as a colonel, admission to special forces, one hundred million in starting funds, and cultivation manuals worth up to two hundred million. Li Xin instead chose the Limit Dojo for its technological archives 4.

Kyoto Beast Tide

A King-level Tyrannosaurus Beast summoned a massive beast tide threatening Kyoto Base City and nearby supply bases. Li Xin killed it and fought at dozens of supply bases, while Jia Yi coordinated battlefield security and supported the remaining defenses. Footage of Li Xin's intervention made him known throughout China and abroad 19 20.

Afterward, Jia Yi invited Li Xin to join the China Military Region. Li Xin declined formal service because he wanted independence, but pledged to defend China whenever it was endangered. Jia Yi also promised compensation and continued care for the families of fighters killed defending the base cities 21.

Mechanical Puppet Partnership

Li Xin demonstrated mass-producible combat robots to Jia Yi and offered to supply China through barter rather than payment in Huaxia Currency. He gifted the first batch, while Jia Yi provided Water of Life to restore Li Houming's missing arm. China's senior leadership unanimously approved gathering the materials required for further production 28.

China mobilized national resources, collected alloys, built nuclear power plants, and purchased supplies abroad for Li Xin's factory. Deployment of the robots against monsters exposed their capabilities to other world powers, including the ability of some models to rival Councilor-level experts 29.

Territorial Recovery and Global Unification

With Li Xin's support, China cleared a belt around its six base cities. Li Xin subsequently secured Hong and Thunder God's support for a plan to eliminate powerful monsters and unify Earth's factions under China 33.

The Mechanical Puppet Legion repelled an immense beast tide without serious damage to China's base cities; monsters could not reach their walls. Li Xin then allowed any faction in China's camp to purchase Mechanical Puppets. The Extreme Martial Hall and Thunder Dojo joined that camp, while the HR Alliance and other major factions resisted surrendering their independence. China continued reclaiming territory during the ensuing half-year stalemate 34.

Before attacking the two Beast Emperors, Li Xin warned Li Houyi to prepare China's military for the final worldwide beast tide. Li Xin killed the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor, while Hong and Thunder God killed the Thunder Dragon Emperor. Their assistance to other nations was tied to those nations' surrender. At the tide's end, China announced that the vast majority of monsters had been eliminated and that Europa, India, America, and the Soviet Union had become part of China 35.

Martial Artist Recruitment

• Special forces training — Brings together talented recruits from across China; described as comparable to special training at the dojo headquarters 4.
• Scientific support — The military offered Li Xin a top-tier laboratory and instruction from its finest scientists, provided research did not interfere with his cultivation 4.

Mechanical Puppet Legion

• Mass production — Li Xin's factory supplied combat robots in sufficient numbers to support national defense and territorial reclamation. China's initial order was large enough to occupy more than six months of production 28 29.
• Combat capability — The demonstration force defeated a monster horde containing five Lord-level monsters; later deployments prevented a massive beast tide from reaching China's city walls 28 34.
• Energy collection — Every robot purchased by the military carried a subsidiary Eternal Divine Furnace, allowing large-scale monster hunting to contribute energy to Li Xin's cultivation 30.
• Expansion resources — Military operations harvested monster materials, developed valuable metal deposits in monster-held territory, and absorbed monster bioenergy to sustain the growing legion 34.
