In my past life, Gao Gong learned about the Cloud Nobility toward the end of the planet. He had to buy tickets from these NPCs and got heavily ripped off.
In this life, I've learned about the twelve Cloud Nobles, each holding a key that can open the Fortress gate.
According to the Collider, the Xie Family is one of these twelve, possibly tracing back to a military server of the Empire.
Legend has it that every generation of the Xie Family members are products of artificial intelligence and industrial systems, with siblings categorized according to the style of the Source Code.
Moreover, they have a unique 'seniority system.' Whoever has higher command priority in the Clan Hall has a higher rank.
Some creatures can even escape the 'seniority' loop and control the 'Clan Hall' in reverse. Such existences are the leaders of the Xie Clan.
To date, only three have achieved this, namely, the Clan Leader of the Xie Family, and two Grand Machine Elders.
Xie Egui, is one of them.
