The Rune Progenitor was from the Fifth Mainland and rose to become one of the Nine Eight Seas master at the same generation as Progenitor Chen. The Rune Progenitor had been someone who had only become an exceptional cultivator later on in life. When Progenitor Chen, Progenitor Hui, and many of the others had already become famous throughout the Fifth Mainland, the Rune Progenitor had still been studiously copying texts in a sect. He was older than the rest of them, and he didn’t manage to become an Explorer until he was a hundred years old, but as he continued forward, each of his breakthroughs came faster than the last. His favorite saying was, ‘Read more. Knowledge is power.’

## Story

The Rune Progenitor created the Runes and had cultivate with an entire Rune Civilization.

After the Fifth Mainland's defeat to the Sixth Mainland, they covered the sky of the Fifth Mainland, The Rune Progenitor alongside the Rune Civilization challenged the Sixth Mainland upstream of the Starfall Sea and it resulted in rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. This battle had led to the Sixth Mainland greatly weakening, and they had been unable to do anything to the Fifth Mainland afterwards. If this battle had never happened, the Sixth Mainland absolutely would not have stopped at merely replacing the Fifth Mainland’s sky, as they would enslave the entire Mainland.

Later generations had not been able to understand just why the Rune Progenitor had fought against the entire Sixth Mainland with his civilization. He had sacrificed his entire Rune Civilization, which seemed like a pointless loss to many people. Only the Sixth Mainland understood that this battle had eliminated their final blade that they could have wielded against the Fifth Mainland.

It was seen that the Shaman God had interfered with the battle, and might have been the cause of death of the Rune Progenitor.

Generations later, Runes only exists in the Fifth Mainland and those that cultivate Truesight could only use runes in the Fifth Mainland. The Rune Progenitor had left a the rune cosmic phenomenon to protect the Fifth Mainland from future invasion of the Sixth Mainland. The phenomena was powerful enough to severely injury the Progenitor of Combat, and creating the cosmic phenomenon that blanketed the Innerverse and Neoverse. The cosmic phenomenon caused the eradication of those under the Semi-Progenitor level to only be able to use up to 200,000 power level or to be erased. The phenomenon had targeted Empyrean Imprinters that were in the Sixth Mainland and forcefully erased them.
