Extreme Heaven Realm, Tianji Star.
Imperial capital.
One hundred thousand years of cultivation, the greatest and most glorious world in history, the heart of human civilization, and the center of the sea of stars.
Since the Monster Beast Dynasty ruled the Star Sea, all the unified Star Sea countries have regarded the Extreme Heaven Realm as the center of their rule.
This is true for the Monster Dynasty, the Star Sea Empire, the Star Sea Republic, and even the True Human Empire.
And any ambitious person who tries to control all the stars in the sky will invariably regard the Extreme Heaven Realm as the inevitable ultimate goal.
The Jitian Realm tens of thousands of years ago was not a rich world.
In terms of the location of the star field in the three-dimensional universe, it is not in the center of the star sea where stars are the densest.
But the three-dimensional space of this vast world has extremely mysterious properties.
The void is full of folds, gaps and stable wormholes.
From the perspective of the four-dimensional space, travelers from other worlds can jump to the Extreme Heaven Realm with minimal energy consumption; people in the Extreme Heaven Realm can also easily travel to all parts of the star sea through the ubiquitous space folds.
Such characteristics make the Jitian Realm the intersection of all heavens and realms, a battleground for military strategists, and the first choice for every unified country to establish its capital.
People who travel through a wormhole for the first time and jump to the extreme heaven are often shocked by the metallic cold texture of this world.
In the past 40,000 years, from the Monster Beast Dynasty to the Real Human Empire, metals and ores from thousands of worlds controlled by human civilization have been continuously transported to the Extreme Heaven Realm, and the main star here, "Tianji Star", has been implemented.
A high degree of transformation gradually turned this planet into an indestructible steel battle fortress.
This is the highest symbol of "human beings" using their own "will" to transform the "universe".
When travelers board a vertical landing sightseeing floating platform from the synchronous orbit star port on the periphery of the planet and enter the atmosphere, they can see the undulating and row upon row of metal buildings shining in the sun.
Various buildings have the most bizarre shapes and the most gorgeous colors.
Color fully demonstrates human ambition, desire and desperate impulse.
Except for the royal palace and a very few noble manors, there is not much green in Tianji Star, but the ubiquitous air circulation pipes release fresh air rich in various trace elements and beneficial to physical and mental health day and night.
The nearly 100 billion people on this planet, densely packed like a swarm of insects, will not go crazy from depression.
Travelers who came to the imperial capital for the first time were shocked by these metal buildings that looked like lions, giant eggs, gods and demons, and even pants, but soon they could see the second wonder spread across the land, deep into the city.
The cracks tens of thousands of meters underground are like huge canyons crisscrossing the entire land.
According to legend, at the end of the Star Sea Empire 10,000 years ago, the Emperor once fought an earth-shattering battle with the Son of Doomsday Warman Blood God in the Extreme Heaven Realm and the Tianji Star.
The battle was so fierce that the sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon lost all light, and even the Tianji Star was dimmed.
They blasted it forcefully and broke into two halves.
This is of course nonsense.
No matter how powerful human beings are, it is impossible to completely explode such a large planet.
This is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of spiritual energy.
But it is absolutely true that it is riddled with holes in the earth's crust, activating long-dormant seismic zones, causing dramatic changes in geological plates, and tearing open criss-crossing gaps.
Perhaps, it is also the limit of human combat effectiveness.
In the tens of thousands of years after the demise of the Star Sea Empire, the surviving people carefully and painstakingly repaired the fragmented planet.
They were surprised to discover the mineral veins hidden deep in the gaps, as well as the huge geothermal energy contained in the underground magma belt.
They simply built large-scale underground cities deep in the 10,000-meter-deep gaps bombarded by the Emperor and the Blood God Son. , thrive here, causing the living space of the imperial capital to expand several times in an instant.
Naturally, nobles and nobles would not live in the dark and sweltering underground.
Using the sea level of the imperial capital as a standard, from tens of thousands of meters underground all the way up, there is a clearly defined distribution map of the real human empire's hierarchies.
The lowest-level natives and slave workers live tens of thousands of meters deep underground, making a living by running geothermal factories and providing energy to the entire planet.
Thousands of meters underground are the residences of miners and smelting workers, and there are also large areas where underground crops are grown. farms; a large number of low-class people living on the ground Immortal cultivators and a small number of wealthy primitive people.
These primitive people are often inextricably related to the immortal cultivators.
They rely on the protection of the immortal cultivators to come into contact with the sunshine of the Tianji Star.
They are the top of the pyramid of the primitive class. , is also responsible for maintaining the industrial and commercial operations of the imperial capital.
As for nobles and nobles, they often live on the twelve satellites of Tianji Star.
Except for two natural satellites, ten of them are artificially built super space stations.
It is said that the interiors are beautiful and extremely luxurious fairyland on earth.
For thousands of years since the establishment of the True Human Empire, the imperial capital has been operating in such a hierarchical and orderly manner.

It is a pity that with the "collapse of rituals and music", all the rules for cultivating immortals formulated by the former Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi gradually peeled off and collapsed.
The empire embarked on a path of twilight and despair, and the imperial capital gradually lost its former glory.
As one thousand worlds after another merged into the empire, the empire became too huge.
The Jitian Realm and Tianji Star, which were the heart of the empire, inevitably became more bloated day by day.
In the past five hundred years alone, the population of the Imperial City has increased tenfold.
In order to maintain an increasingly complex, chaotic and complex rule, the number of offices of various bureaucracies and the outside world stationed in the Imperial City has increased.
It is even ten times faster than the population explosion rate.
The resources of Jitian Realm alone are simply not enough to support such a huge population and the daily cultivation consumption of so many immortal cultivators.
The ecological chain is on the verge of collapse every year and has to Relying on blood transfusions from the nearby world.
When the official statistics of the total population of Jitian Realm exceeded 80 billion, residents of the outside world were strictly prohibited from moving into the Imperial Capital at will.
Not to mention the original people, even those who were cultivating immortals during the Qi Refining Period found it difficult to obtain a long-term residence certificate in the Imperial Capital.
But the imperial capital has always been a place where hopes and dreams exist.
No matter how much prohibition is imposed, it can't stop those poor boys with nothing but great ambitions from flooding in.
Now, the official statistics of the imperial capital's total population is 120 billion, but many demographers and economists estimate that it is at least 200 billion.
The vast majority of black households are like ants dormant thousands of meters deep.
At the bottom of the cracks, even if God gave the government 10,000 statisticians with the level of gods, they would never be able to figure out the true population.
Such a large population makes the resource supply chain of Jitian Realm and Tianji Star extremely fragile.
As long as the outside world stops blood transfusion for one day, riots will occur in the imperial capital; if the outside world does not receive blood transfusion for three days, the imperial capital may completely collapse.
When the population exceeds the critical point, it will also trigger a powerful chaotic effect, creating many lawless gray and even dark areas.
Although it is only tens of thousands of meters away from the nominally highest governing body of the empire, the lowest level of the underground fissure is Even the Nascent Soul and the cultivators of the Immortal Transformation level are not willing to touch it easily.
Countless people are living in this smoky place on the most glorious and sacred planet in the empire, following the shady laws.
Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts. live alive.
Perhaps, this is what the four Electoral families want to see.
Maintaining an imperial capital that is too powerful will not be of much benefit to them.
An imperial capital as bloated, weak and dirty as it is now is a paradise for adventurers, a stage for careerists, and a dining table for them to carve up the sea of stars at will!
It's a pity that a new force has emerged and wants to break into this paradise, trample on this stage, and smash this dining table!
The news that Lei Chenghu escaped from the Shenwei Prison and took away a large number of political prisoners and the entire Shenwei fleet reached the ears of the Imperial Capital and the Senate Lords Gongun two days ago.
What's more terrifying than Lei Chenghu's escape from the Divine Power Prison is how on earth and with the help of what power he was able to escape?
And what does this power want to do when it helps Lei Chenghu escape?
This question was like a poisoned dagger, gently slicing at the throats of the senators.
But the elders knew that Lei Chenghu had returned to the third theater, but there was not much they could do against him.
Lei Chenghu is a well-known defense expert in the empire.
In the past hundred years, he has defended the Black Wind Front and prevented the Holy Alliance army from taking a step beyond it.
The third theater is the top priority on the front line.
It was Lei Chenghu who spent his whole life and countless resources from the rear to build the copper and iron walls, the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, and the dragon pool and tiger den.
Even if the four Electoral families mobilize all their forces to attack the third theater now, they may not be able to destroy the Thunder Fleet in a short time.
Moreover, doing so would be tantamount to setting off a full-scale civil war in the empire.
Any one of the four Electoral families would They can't bear to do this.
What's more, Lei Chenghu was destined not to wait foolishly for them to attack in the third theater.
Fleets are not planets.
They come and go without a trace.
They can scurry between the stars and the sea.
Unless the other party is willing, searching for a fleet in the vast sea of stars for a decisive battle is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!
That's the situation now.
Before the Senate could react, Lei Chenghu had cut off all communications between the third theater and the outside world, and of course also closed all the starry sky gates in the third theater.

The third theater of war turned into a dark, unfathomable world of mist.
The Senate was quarreling with saliva and red faces for a long time.
No one's fleet was willing to be the first to jump in piecemeal and die.
We can only cut off all channels for the outside world to deliver supplies to the third theater, hoping to trap Lei Chenghu to death or force him to negotiate.
But even the stupidest person can see that Lei Chenghu will never sit still and wait for death.
The resources he has at hand are enough to launch an earth-shattering suicide attack!
