The Nine Domains of Ember Earth are ruled by nine ancient "bloodline divine courts". Everyone's blood mark will be measured when they are born. The blood mark determines identity, lifespan, upper limit of cultivation, and even marriage and burial place. What the protagonist group awakens is the "Tenth Bloodline" that is tabooed by the Divine Court. Legend has it that it comes from the eradicated old gods, and may also be the key to overthrowing the order of the Nine Realms.
