The clan that governed this star was named Zhen Yi.
According to the rules of the god lineage in the Fourth Star Ring, only clans that had produced a True God could bear the honorific Zhen[1] in their name.
From the memories of the butterfly god, Xu Qing learned that the Zhen Yi clan's jurisdiction extended not only to this star but also to the vast nebula surrounding it and several nearby universes.
All of these were under the control of this clan.
Originally, this arrangement should have been eternal. After all, even if a True God perished, It would eventually return. Thus, until a new True God emerged, Their rule would remain unchanging.
But something unexpected had happened to this clan.
Their True God had seemingly perished many years ago and had not yet returned…
As time passed, the consequences of this began to show. The Zhen Yi clan could no longer effectively suppress the various tribes within Their jurisdiction.
