Imperial Heavens

## Origin

"Remnants from the Limitless Empire," Catheya said, confirming Zac's hunch. "The most powerful factions of the Limitless Empire collapsed almost immediately when their undertaking was finished. The System's awakening killed off too many patriarchs and great generals. But out of the ashes, seven phoenixes rose.

"A few clans acted more decisively than others, turning on the Empire the moment they saw which way the wind blew. They attacked their masters and pillaged the treasures of the Limitless Empire. Not much later, the great beings of the Multiverse realized what Emperor Limitless had done and descended on the Limitless Empire with fury. But by that point, these seven clans were long gone, having stolen the riches and hidden in various corners of the Multiverse.

"They only emerged much later, when the energy had returned to the Multiverse. And they were more powerful than ever. Using their stolen foundation, they are all incredibly powerful factions to this day. Except for one clan that was exterminated for some reason."

These seven clans were either middling factions or upstarts. But make no mistake, that was then. Today, they're all genuine A-grade factions with unfathomable foundations." **Chapter 949**

## Rulers

* You're clever, but those old guys are fused with the realm itself. How can you hide from their gaze? **Chapter 964**
* "The Edge of the Seventh Heaven picked you. You will have to choose the path," Ylvin said. **Chapter 964**
* So what if the Emperors picked my cousin? **Chapter 997**

## Heavens

It's a special universe. You could consider it something beyond the classifications of Mystic Realms. They are frankly amazing. You can 'ascend' from almost anywhere if you have access. You'll pop up out of nowhere inside the Heaven. Higher-grade permits can even allow you just to send in your consciousness or part of it.

People across dozens of regions able to suddenly appear right next to each other after paying the entrance fee. Thanks to the Heavens, they've become extremely important for trade, alliances and breakthroughs.

The Dao is clearer in the Heavens, denser. It almost feels like you've been transported to the beginning of the era when the Dao was wild and abundant. Thanks to that, it's one of the best places to Defend your Dao, and the Imperials are selling slots in return for contribution but if we go against them

you'll lose the opportunity to nurture Autarchs.

That's an important reason why the Imperials are standing strong to this day. Their networks are so vast because of the opportunities they can provide. And, of course, they have an excessive number of Autarchs and Monarchs among their ranks.

They don't even need to lift a finger. They can just remove your access to the Heavens, and you'll slowly see your faction die out while your enemies get your opportunities. People have tried to figure out what the Heavens are or if there's more of them, but none have solved the mystery.

They borrow energy from other places draining the Frontier to improve their environments. These imperials were real thieves, one and all. **Chapter 1,032**

## Factions

Each Imperial Clan formed a powerful Empire, Even without being a a subsidiary to them they still can't be defied because they control the Heavens. **Chapter 1,032**

### First

* Only the First Heaven has managed to claim a Pillar so far. **Chapter 964**
* Vurkos Planur seized the second pillar in a domineering fashion. **Chapter 1,039**
* The era of the previous Emperor was very turbulent. The Planur Dynasty waged a series of ruthless wars, both as aggressor and defender. It reached a point where Vul'Zerdo Planur was called the Blood Emperor. When Emperor Vastermal took the throne, he donned the epithet of benevolence to indicate the empire's future direction. And things have been relatively stable under his rule. **Chapter 1,038**
* Princess Valsa Planur
* The first Heaven has a Deathsworn Imperial Guard. **Chapter 997**

### Third

* With the Third already creating problems from the shadows **Chapter 964**
* For one, Zac had long known that one of the Imperial Dynasties had already fallen; the Dianthis Dynasty that once controlled the Third Heaven. **Chapter 1,043**

### Fourth

* And that's not even counting the scions of the Fourth and Sixth, who were both qualified to contend for the pillar. **Chapter 964**

### Seventh

* Ruled by the Tobrial Dynasty. **Chapter 1,043**
* "Our family is different. We are the Seventh, the very last. It's almost a miracle we weren't consumed by the others in those early days. We're aware of our inadequacies, and we'll never forget that we have slowly climbed to our current heights through our subject's grace. Emperor and Empire are one; the former cannot exist without the latter. I'd never set foot in a place where I couldn't use the true power of the Imperial Destiny." **Chapter 1,155**
* Yselio Tobrial - Ultom Contender
	+ "The Edge of the Seventh Heaven picked you. You will have to choose the path," Ylvin said. **Chapter 964**

“Master learned that Mystic Realms are the lowest rung among the hidden pockets of space. There are higher-tiered worlds as well. He mentioned Ancient Realms, Immemorial Realms, and Primal Heavens. I don’t know anything more than that, though,” Brazla muttered. **Chapter 671**

Even that Neural Network of the Technocrats or the Heavenly Realm of the ancient Imperials became boring over time, but watching that guy bathe in fateblighted refuse or getting beat up by low-grade beasts never grew stale. **Chapter 831**
