By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology had advanced rapidly, eliminating borders and uniting the planet, marking the dawn of the Federation era. At that time, a colossal sword fell from the heavens, pierced the sun, and created a worldwide sensation. The sword’s scabbard had already been damaged, which caused countless shards to break off when it collided with the sun, scattering across the universe. Many of these shards landed on Earth. With the arrival of the sword and its fragments, a new, unlimited energy source called Spirit Qi emerged. Spirit Qi, like air, varies in thickness across different regions. As the Federation and other factions collected more shards, they uncovered insights into cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone processing, and other techniques. The ancient symbols on the shards popularized the use of ancient language. Spirit Qi’s arrival rapidly rendered traditional energy sources obsolete, drastically changing people’s lives. The Spirit Internet emerged, and Spirit Qi reshaped the course of human civilization, ushering in the age of cultivation. People now refer to this era as the Spirit Inception Era.
