On January 5, 2233 in the Qianyuan calendar, the Azure Star established a connection with the Dark Realm in the Endless Abyss, known as the "Nexus of All Realms", opening up the extraordinary era. At 13:30 in the afternoon on this day, Xingshuo was born.
After the first batch of expedition members returned, mankind gained extraordinary power and began a mighty era of exploration into the abyss.
In 2238, with the continuous deepening of development and the establishment of more and more connections with the new dark realm, the country opened up the qualifications for the development of the first batch of dark lords. Private adventure groups can establish town-level strongholds on their own. They only need to pay "management fees" on time to the base city in their jurisdiction and listen to dispatches during wartime.
This move can not only stimulate private capital and manpower to spontaneously invest heavily in the development of the Dark Territory, drive employment and the economy, but also strengthen the overall control ability of the Dark Territory, prevent dark creatures from gathering in large numbers in some remote places, and trigger a dark tide. It also relieves the pressure on the military, allowing it to devote more combat power to the front line.
This also created a new class: the Dark Lord.
