This was the great era of vast warships and the Star River, a time when the multi-universe was shattered and countless Cosmic Fragments were scattered across the void, forming the boundless Shattered Starry Sea. Immortal Domain Dao soldiers, mechanical gods, golden giants, wizard Dominators... An endless array of strange civilizations. Starry Sea Oddity, Genetic Potions, exoskeletal armors, Floating Land Origin... Treasures that could be found everywhere. Spectral Shuttle, Spectral Airship, Spectral Warship, Escort Ships, Battleships, Star-Annihilating Starships, hyperdimensional mother ships... The clearly stratified Xinhuo warships. Song Chi held a Zhu Tian Ruins Market in his hand and engaged in interstellar trade with the countless peoples of the Starry Sea. What? Titanium Crystals are worthless in your Star Domain? I'll take them all, damn it, this is a strategic resource! You call this a chunk of iron? This is Mixed Elemental Copper, the ultimate Enhancement resource! Ordinary ship cannon? Isn't this a golden Star-Annihilating Cannon? Quick... I'll buy it! ... Stretching across the stars, starting from the flame of human civilization.

As the dividing line between intermediate and advanced civilizations in the Starry Sea, the gap between Sixth Rank and Seventh Rank lifeforms is unimaginably vast.
This can be seen, in part, through the lifespans of beings at different levels within the Starry Sea.
Take Torch Human Civilization for instance: Zero Rank average humans live only 140 years, First Ranks have 200 years, Second Ranks 300 years, and Third Ranks 600 years. So why does the lifespan leap to 2000 years at Fourth Rank? The reason lies just there.
Similarly, after the Fourth Rank, the lifespan of Fifth-Rank Torch Ship Captains is limited to 4000 years, and for Sixth Ranks, it's 10,000 years—no excessively dramatic increase. Only after breaking through to the Seventh Rank does the lifespan experience a new surge.
