Empire.

There is a hell and heaven difference between Empire and the region over which Xia changhe ruled.

(Author Note:- Xia Changhe is the king who died.)

In fact even though Xia changhe was called 'His Highness' in Zahrah domain, what he ruled was not a kingdom but a state.

Xia State.

A kingdom is where many states are combined and ruled over by a person who is called 'king'.

Another reason why Xia Changhe could not become a king was because they did not have 'Nation Armament.'

A nation armament is a weapon which uses energy only from heart veins of the capital of a kingdom. But the Nation Armament is tied with the nation and thus can release many times the real power of the weapon depending on the energy derived from the heart veins.

Above nations are empires which is ruled by emperor. Only an emperor can be called 'Royal Majesty' and not kings.

They have Empire Armaments and the area of land ruled over by them decides the strength of the Empire.

Why? Because where Nation Armament strength is derived just from Heart Veins of the capital, the Empire Armaments derive their strength from the Energy Veins all over the Empire.

Above Empire are the ones who have ruled over since generations. They are called 'Dynasties'.

Dynasties were previously called Sacred Empires. The ruler of a dynasty is called the Sacred Emperor.

The level of Dynasties cannot be compared with Empires or Kingdoms. Every Dynasty has at least 2 empire below them.

Each empire has at least 3 kingdoms below them and each kingdom has at least 5 states below them.

Most of the powers in any province has backing all over the world. For example Tour Magique. They have branch in Zahrah province but they are spread all over the continent. They might even have branches in other continents or might have some other kind of backing.

That is the reason why no one easily want to. offend any kind of strong cultivators of their own province.

The calm before the storm though did not last for a long time.

While the introduction of mana did reduce violence, it was not the solution.

The cultivators still had the upper hand because of their years of heritage.

And the sudden rebel from the mages could not be tolerated with the cultivators. Thus after a sudden shock entry of mages which stopped violence for a short while, the first Universal War took place.

Trillions of Humans from different planets took part in this war. With all the planets taking part in this world, all hell broke loose.

But as everyone expected, after few years of the war, the cultivators were winning the war. After another year, the cultivators who were sure of winning started their tyranny once again.

The mortals, the mages, and even the cultivators everyone were hunted for their personal entertainment and benefits. It literally became the law of the jungle.

And it was at that point where things took a drastic U-turn. A being appeared in front of the different groups which were divided based on their personal beliefs and goals.

They were given an opportunity by the 'being'.

An, opportunity to increase their strength be it in short term or for the long run.

An opportunity to get to know different types of energy other than qi and mana.

An opportunity to change their Destiny.

The 'being' that appeared claimed to be the GOD!

And as anyone would expect, they became desperate for power due despair they felt from tyranny.

As expected, The GOD gave them the power but the power cannot be taken by 'humans'.

And that was when different races were introduced by the GOD.

The different groups were turned into different races.

The ones who claimed for ultimate strength were given a bloodline and a possibility of being a dragon and the likes, the ones blessed by the universe.

The ones who wanted to protect the nature from being destroyed were turned into dark elves, the light elves, High elves, etc, the ones blessed by World Tree.

The ones who wanted to save their pride and dignity were turned into Lion Tribes, Tiger Tribes and the likes, the beast tribes.

The ones who wanted to, protect their family turned into Wolves Tribes, Elephant Tribes and the likes, the beast tribes.

The ones who wanted to dwell in the darkness turned into the vampires and the likes, the demons.

The ones who wanted to stay peacefully in waters turned into whales, mermaids and the likes, the sea creatures.

The ones who wanted to give everything into despair and wanted to continue their bloodline with minimal intelligence were turned into Orcs, goblins and the likes, the monsters.

And many other such races were created.

Any race created would have one such basic belief or goal.

But this change was enough to turn the tides of war.

But they forgot one thing, nothing in this world is free... Even if the provider is a GOD!
