The Dahuang Realm is home to a myriad of sentient beings, the human race being but one among many.
In this world, there are cultivation techniques as well as heavenly gods and earthly spirits, though they are relatively ancient and rudimentary. The group of people on this ship are subjects of the "Tianyu Dynasty," established by the human race on the Dahuang main continent.
Within Tianyu are numerous protectorates and vassal kings, claiming "all directions come to pay homage." The people on this ship are subjects of the "Jingchu Protectorate" under the King of Jingchu. Unable to pay the increasingly heavy silver taxes, they were forced to pay the "blood tax" to open up the Tianhai Archipelago for Jingchu.
