The vast stellar space is not inhabited by only the human race.
There are also other more ferocious and intrusive races. One could say that any race capable of surviving in stellar space is not one to be trifled with; those docile races have long been eliminated.
If the Nine Provinces were to quietly stand within this stellar space, there might have been a long period of peace. After all, the Void is vast and boundless, and although the Nine Provinces planet is colossal, it is not something easily discovered.
The human race cultivators who departed from the Nine Provinces perhaps sought greater power, but they could never have imagined that by breaking through the Nine Provinces and making contact with the Void, they would bring disaster upon their home planet.
At an unknown point in time, an alien race army followed their trail, stationing troops outside the Nine Provinces World, with a great war on the brink of eruption.
