[A brief background introduction to the formation of the three parties in the Central Continent] More than five hundred years ago. In mid-November of the third year of Jiankang in Yongjin. To the southwest of the Central Continent is Liuyun Mountain. A village not far from Liuyun Mountain. Xu Shi has just arrived, the full moon is gradually disappearing, and the night is dark and gloomy. Tengu eats the sun. However, just when people were lying on the ground begging for mercy, running around crying, or beating drums to pray... A blood moon suddenly appeared in the sky. The blood moon is enchanting, as if it were dyed red with blood. Everyone in the village was shocked and immediately kowtowed to the ground and prayed to the gods for forgiveness. At the highest point of Liuyun Mountain, the night is dark and the blood moon is bright. The old man with a white beard, dressed as a Taoist priest and with a wine gourd hanging on his waist, stared at the blood moon in the night sky with a heavy expression. The blood moon lasted for nearly half an hour. Just when the blood color completely faded from the moon, suddenly another point of light seemed to come from the moon. The bright light drew an orange-red trajectory and fell into Liuyun Mountain. The strong vibrations spread away, and the people around Liuyun Mountain were even more panicked. The red flames burned a large stone pit on Xiahai Mountain. The white-bearded old man looked at the things in the sky with the flames fading away around him, his eyes filled with dark colors. He touched the wine gourd, and there was a touch of determination in his increasingly heavy expression. * On the night of the blood moon, the Yongjin Empire finally captured the imperial capital of the Tiansheng Dynasty, which had been contending with it. In early February of the following year, all of Tiansheng's territory was under the control of the Yongjin Empire, and Yongjin finally unified 30% of the territory of the Central Continent. However, success or failure will rise and fall through the ages. Nearly three hundred years later, the Yongjin Empire, which had gone through nearly three hundred years of ups and downs, was already in its final years. The emperor was fatuous and incompetent, living in debauchery. Eunuchs wielded power, traitors were in power, and loyal ministers were brutally persecuted. Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are imposed, banditry is rampant, and various natural disasters occur... The people are in dire straits, and mourning is everywhere. In the fifth year of Chengxu's reign, due to the fatuous and brutal rule of the Yongjin Empire, large-scale uprisings finally broke out in various parts of the Yongjin Empire... The Yongjin Empire, which had flourished for hundreds of years and controlled a vast territory, also ushered in its end. In June of the fourth year of Jianning in Yongjin, Sikong Ke, who raised troops from Nanming City, led his army to capture Kangcheng, the imperial capital of Yongjin. He killed the traitors, eliminated the eunuchs, captured the emperor, overthrew the Yongjin Empire, established the Nanming court, changed Kangcheng to Jingluo, and Nanming City to Xingcheng, and occupied half of the territory of the Yongjin Empire. Today, Nanming's territory is twice as large as when it was first established. In July of the fourth year of Jianning in Yongjin, the territory of the Yongjin Empire in the southwest of the mainland was captured by a group of martial arts people. The area captured by a group of martial arts people was named Jiangdu Prefecture. Later, due to a martial arts catastrophe, the Royal Government Office was established and the martial arts laws of Jiangdu Prefecture were formulated... Jiangdu Prefecture gradually became a "Martial Arts Ally". At the end of July in the fourth year of Jianning in Yongjin. Southeast of the Central Continent. The southeastern region, occupied by the seven overlords, experienced nearly two hundred years of war, and finally ended the war with the five-party alliance. After the five-party alliance in the southeast region was established, the three-legged power in the central continent was fully formed, and the three-party power has coexisted until the end. * During the more than 200 years since the founding of Nanming, the Nanming court had always wanted to restrain and control those people in the world who were accustomed to freedom, and had taken various measures overtly and covertly. However, in this vast land, there are always such people in the world. They take root and thrive in various places, and jointly protect the beliefs and life in their hearts. This wave of uncontrollable Jianghu people has been a long-term worry for the Nanming court, and the existence of Jiangdu Prefecture, a "martial arts alliance", is an even greater concern for the Nanming court. The relationship between Nanming and Jiangdu Prefecture has gradually become stiff and tense, until now it is the enemy-to-enemy confrontation. Although the two sides were hostile and had conflicts from time to time, no large-scale war had ever occurred. Although the five-party alliance in the southeast region has had frictions with each other, it has always maintained an alliance and has never been aligned or hostile with the other two parties. * (Note: When the Yongjin Empire ruled, only one-fifth of the land in the southeast region belonged to the Yongjin Empire, and the area of the southeast region was similar to the current territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty.)

In order to avoid unnecessary ridicule (some bad words I saw somewhere), it is necessary to explain: The author knows those titles in ancient times and checked them before writing the article. However, he is very pleased that the insults used to address women in ancient times have been removed. Therefore, the titles for women will be different from those in ancient my country. I do not want those insulting words in ancient times (or words that are insulting in modern times for some reasons) to be the same as those in ancient (modern) my country in this article (the same goes for other titles). If you want to ridicule, I want to say it seriously: I am not writing about the purely orthodox ancient Chinese period. This is an imaginary world. My novels are based on my settings. It is not the feudal society in ancient my country that constitutes the world of my novels.
