The reason why the Grand Martial Union was able to stand as the main governing body of this world was due to the backing of its five Martial Gods.
Grand Martial Union's five Martial Gods are, in no particular order, the Heaven-Severing War Sovereign, Verdant Immortal Matriarch, Voidstep Silent Monarch, Crimson Cataclysm Tyrant, and the Azure Radiant Saint.
These are their titles. These people have lived for so long that the people who actually knew their real names were either dead or very old too.
The many kingdoms and the five empires of the human civilization had entertained ideas of independence and tried to declare sovereignty, each or all at the same time, at least once upon a time. But all their efforts were proven futile simply because the foundation of the GMU turns out to be deeper than any of them ever expected.
