Darkstar

The **Darkstar** was one of the top races within the Spirits' World. After the race's fall from grace, they were forced to flee into the World of the Fallen Beast in a past aeon. All members of the lineage had a noticeable dark star on their forehead.

## History

### **Grand Exalt**

A sovereign had appeared for them during their most glorious times. It was also because of the sovereign that the Darkstar race enjoyed unprecedented prosperity, becoming one of the existences that no one dared to provoke in the Spirits’ World. However, no matter how glorious a race is, there will be a day when they decline. Even sovereigns will have a day where they die. Afterwards, the sovereign from the Darkstar race died, and their prosperity came to an end. Without a sovereign, the Wood Spirits that had always opposed the Darkstar race finally took action. They slaughtered all their experts in an unstoppable manner such that the Darkstar race almost became extinct. In the end, a small fraction of the Darkstar race hid in the World of the Fallen Beast.

### **World of the Fallen Beast**

The World of the Fallen Beast was actually the handiwork of the sovereign from the Darkstar race. He slayed the ancient beast when he was still alive, refining it into a world and setting up some arrangements inside. He turned it into a place for the Darkstar race to seek refuge. At the same time, he set down the conditions of entry, which is the limit of age.

Perhaps due to the arrangements of the sovereign from the Darkstar race, or perhaps the sovereign of the Wood Spirits was benevolent and did not want to destroy the Darkstar race completely. Regardless of the reason, he did not lay his hands on the World of the Fallen Beast in the end. Though, the sovereign of the Wood Spirits did leave behind a sliver of his will in there, which were the life-devouring beasts found within the Two World Mountains. The Wood Spirits' sovereign chose to barricade the exit of the Darkstar race through his will, thus, not a single member of the Darkstar race has ever left the small world for a long time.

### **Two World Mountains**

The Two World Mountains is a forbidden zone to the Darkstar race. Unless they had no other choice, members of their Darkstar race would never set foot in there, particularly in the depths. Even Primordial realm experts like them had to be cautious when they entered there. It was possible to say that the Two World Mountains had been created by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits. The Grand Exalt tampered with the ways and set down his own laws, which greatly suppressed all members of the Darkstar race.

If First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes entered there, their strength would be suppressed to just peak Godking, and they would tire themselves out several times faster during battle, unable to recover or replenish their energy at all. All it required were a few Godking Life-devouring Beasts and they would be enough to kill an Infinite Prime of the Darkstar race. Most importantly, once an Infinite Prime of the Darkstar race exposed their presence in the Two World Mountains, it would spread endlessly like light from a bright lantern in darkness. All the Primordial realm regional kings in the Two World Mountains would sense it clearly and then converge from all directions.

## Administrative

### **Darkstar Emperor**

The Darkstar Emperor is a supreme existence within the Darkstar race. He was in control of the entire Darkstar World and was in complete control of the lives of everyone in the Darkstar race. He was the undisputed ruler.

The Darkstar Emperor had basically already taken a step back from governing the Darkstar World. He rarely interfered with any matter going on in the world. Basically all the matters of the world, regardless of size, were left to the ten divine halls to handle. The authority of the divine halls would change every millenium. Every single divine hall would have a millennium’s control and authority over the Darkstar World’s matters. This millenium happened to be the seventh hall master’s turn.

### **Ten Divine Halls**

Under the Darkstar Emperor were the ten divine halls. The ten hall masters were important figures only second to the Darkstar Emperor in the Darkstar World. Every single one of them was an Infinite Prime. The requirement to become a hall master was to have a cultivation at or beyond the Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.

The Darkstar Emperor and the ten hall masters were not the only Primordial realm experts in the Darkstar World. Some of the vice hall masters were Infinite Primes as well. Within the Darkstar race, the vice hall masters all had to follow the hall master's command, so they were basically their subordinates.

*These are the members of the Ten Divine Halls:*

### **Ranking**

The ten divine halls of the Darkstar race did not follow any particular ranking. Divine halls that came first were not necessarily stronger. For example, the fifth and seventh divine halls. Even though the fifth divine hall ranked ahead of the seventh divine hall, the seventh divine hall had suppressed the fifth divine hall for all these years. Of course, there was one exception among the ten divine halls—the first divine hall. This was the only hall among the ten that possessed a late Infinite Prime.

## Members

### **City Lord(s):**

Some of the city lords from the thirty-six main cities had reached Infinite Prime.

* Bai Jin**†** - city lord of the Darknight City.

### **Vice City Lord(s):**

* Si Wuqing**†** - one of the vice city lords of the Darknight City.
* Xue Sha**†** - one of the vice city lords of the Darknight City.

### **Kings and Lords:**

In each city, there were one hundred and eight kings and thirty-six lords that represented the strongest throughout the city. According to the rules, every single one of them needed to have grasped a God Tier Battle Skill at the very least. These positions would be chosen by the law of the jungle. Even within the Saints’ World, members of these ranks was enough to rank within the top one hundred of the Godkings’ Throne.

* Proud Ice King**†**
* Swift Wind King**†**
* Sword Wielding King**†**
* Dark Shadow King**†**
* Heavenly Fist King**†**
* Earth Quaking King**†**

### **Godkings:**

The Godkings of the Darkstar race were definitely all older than any Godking from the Saints’ World. There were many Godkings who had lived for millions of years. There were even ones who had lived for tens of millions of years.

After all, it was extremely difficult to break through to the Primordial realm in an environment like the Darkstar World. Unless they possessed supreme talent, unless they were figures of unprecedented fortune, they could not cross the gates leading to the Primordial realm.

* General Guan
	+ The commander of Darknight City.
* Wu Ming
	+ The master of external affairs of the fifth divine hall.
* Le Fei
	+ The vice commander of Darknight City.
* Stark**†**
* Caretaker Hong

## Cities

There were a total of thirty-eight cities within this world. Apart from the Hundred Saint City, the others were all under the Darkstar race’s control. They formed thirty-six major cities and one capital city. The thirty-six major cities formed a ring around the capital city. From how it was arranged, it seemed a little like a huge formation. Countless smaller towns and cities existed around each major city.

* Darknight City
	+ It was one of the thirty-six major cities of the Darkstar race, as well as the major city closest to the border.

* Flying Phoenix City
	+ The city that Sacredfeather had reak havoc in before he was captured by the Darkstar Emperor.
* Windless City
* Darkhell City
* Duoye City
* Blacklight City

## Cultivation

The Darkstar World and the Saints' World were two different worlds, so the energy they possessed were different as well. People of the Darkstar race were unable to absorb energy from divine crystals for cultivation, but cultivators of the Saints' World could not absorb energy from this world either, completely relying on the divine crystals they brought with them to recover their strength.

Within the Darkstar race, battles to the death among the Primordial realm never occurred. Even when they were Godkings, battles to the death were already extremely rare. The reason why every single one of them possessed strength that far exceeded cultivators at the same cultivation in the Saints’ World was because they remained at cultivation levels for an astronomical amount of time. The amount of strength they would accumulate over time made them virtually unrivalled in the Saints’ World.

### **Primordial Realm**

The Primordial realm experts here were different from the Saints' World. Anyone who could reach the Primordial realm in such an environment all possessed great willpower, great wisdom and great fortune. They were prodigies amongst prodigies, and they had remained at their current realms for an extremely long amount of time. If they were in the Saints' World, any Primordial realm expert of the Darkstar race could challenge those at higher cultivation levels.

## Formations

### **Meteor Soul-destroying Formation**

* This formation can trap the soul. Once the soul’s completely trapped, it can be separated from the body. It’s more like a powerful secret technique than a formation. However, this secret technique is wondrous. Once it’s been successfully used, it’s basically impossible to defend against. The only method to deal with this is to use a similar attack.
* This is a supreme secret technique that their ancestors have passed down through the ages. There’s less than one percent of the entire race that can grasp the Meteor Soul-destroying Formation.

## Trivia

* Their race was suppressed by the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits within the Darkstar World, so every breakthrough they attempted would be extremely difficult. It required tremendous amounts of time. Basically every expert who reached Godking had taken at least a million years.
* In the Darkstar World, the people of the Darkstar race never treated the outsiders as a big deal. They knew that in the Saints’ World, these outsiders were very powerful, extremely powerful, so powerful that they could annihilate the entire Darkstar race with a single breath. However, they also knew that as long as these great experts could not enter here, those who could enter were paper tigers at most, regardless of how strong they were. The outsiders were all ants who could be crushed whenever. None of the people of the Darkstar race took them seriously.
* Only organisations with Grand Exalts would truly strike fear into the Darkstar race. They would be afraid of offending them and would instead attempt to get on their good side.
* The 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 10th divine halls directly opposed against the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 9th divine halls.
