History
Creation
When Pangu could no longer break through Chaos, he created a new realm within it. Clear energy rose to become Heaven, turbid energy sank to become Earth, and the resulting world became the Primordial World 5.
Pangu cast the flesh and blood of fallen Chaos Demon Gods into the new world to enrich its barren foundation. The Thirty-Six-Grade Chaos Green Lotus, Pangu Axe, and Jade Plate of Creation were also shattered or transformed during the process 5.
Unable to keep Heaven and Earth apart, Pangu used his own body as their support until his strength was exhausted. His spine became Buzhou Mountain, his eyes became the sun and moon, his blood became rivers, his flesh became soil, and his hair became vegetation 5.
Pangu's Heart became the Pangu Temple, while his last twelve drops of Essence Blood gestated there. His Primordial Spirit split into three streams and dispersed throughout Heaven and Earth 5.
Early Era
The world initially lacked living beings, but it contained abundant treasures and the remains of the Three Thousand Demon Gods. Surviving Demon God true spirits entered the Primordial World to reincarnate through their remaining flesh and blood 5 6.
The resentment and killing intent left by the Creation Tribulation later fused with Demon God remains, creating fierce beasts that threatened the newly formed world 6.
During the Fierce Beast Tribulation, the Fierce Beast race suppressed the other races under Beast Emperor Shen Ni's rule. The tribulation's end allowed the Three Primal Races and other innate beings to rise across the world 9.
As the era progressed, innate beings emerged across its regions, including Old Ancestor Minghe in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Kunpeng in the Northern Sea, Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain, East Prince on an overseas immortal island, and Zhenyuanzi beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree 20.
The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation eventually forced the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races to withdraw from their contest for supremacy. The world entered a temporary period of renewal before the Dao-Demon Conflict determined its subsequent direction 38.
The Phoenix Clan later returned to the Primordial World under Yuan Feng, destabilizing the balance among its major factions once more 87.
Hongjun's Control and Pangu's Return
Pangu's intended order placed the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao on equal footing. Hongjun, after taking control of the Heavenly Dao, sought to erase Pangu's influence and suppress the Earthly and Human Daos so that the Heavenly Dao alone would rule 96.
After Hongjun's fall, Pangu awakened and merged with the Heavenly Dao Origin, expelling Hongjun's influence and stabilizing the world. This also returned Primordial Spirits previously entrusted to the Heavenly Dao Origin 422.
Pangu subsequently led the world's ascension. Buzhou Mountain rose again, mountains and rivers expanded, secret realms formed, and the world's spiritual energy surged dramatically 424.
During the ascension, Pangu restored Primordial Spirits to the Witch Clan and established the principle that Heaven, Earth, and Humanity would remain equal and supervise one another. Although the former three Dao authorities no longer functioned as separate supreme powers, the Three Realms retained distinct governance within the nascent Great Dao's order 424 427.
External Wars and Growth
The Hunyuan World repeatedly invaded the Primordial World's vicinity, treating it as a resource-rich secret realm. Its forces included Hunyuan Taiji Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and numerous Hunyuan Golden Immortals 473.
Li Xinghe and the world's defenders used fallen invaders to nourish the Primordial World. This increased its size, strengthened its nascent Great Dao, and accelerated breakthroughs among its inhabitants 477 544.
The world's growing potential attracted the Destruction Demon Sect, Five Elements Dao Sect, Blade Sect, Sword Sect, Creation Heavenly Sect, and other outside forces seeking the Jade Plate of Creation or control of the world itself 512 516 523.
When outside sect members attempted to force their way into the world, their defeats further enriched it. Repeated probes by the Destruction Demon Sect and Sword Sect likewise became additional “fertilizer” for the Primordial World 519 522 538.
The world's rapid growth was partly attributable to the small quantity of Great Dao Origin Pangu had nurtured during its creation, which gave it a foundation superior to that of ordinary Lesser Thousand Worlds 572.
Completion and World Pearl Fusion
As its Great Dao transformation neared completion, Li Xinghe could use his World Lord authority to move peak Hunyuan Wuji Grand Unity Golden Immortals directly into the world's depths without allowing resistance 617.
The Primordial Great Dao Rules subsequently formed in full, making the Primordial World a complete Middle Thousand World 649.
After gaining control of the Chaos World and developing the world within the Chaos Pearl, Li Xinghe moved the Primordial World into the World Pearl. Though it was the weakest of his three Middle Thousand Worlds, it possessed enormous potential and had produced numerous Great Dao Realm experts over time 905.
The three worlds gradually complemented one another's deficiencies. Following more than ten eons under Time Acceleration, the World Pearl's three-world system was consolidated and evolved into a Primordial Supreme Treasure 906.
Structure and Geography
- Buzhou Mountain — Formed from Pangu's spine; supports Heaven and Earth and serves as the world's central treasure-rich region. The Pangu Temple lies deep within it. After previously breaking, it rose again during the world's ascension 5 23 424.
- Sun and Moon — Formed from Pangu's left and right eyes, respectively 5.
- Rivers, soil, and vegetation — Formed from Pangu's blood, flesh, hair, and fur 5.
- Netherworld Blood Sea — A forbidden region conceived where Demon Gods fell and fierce-beast blood accumulated; even Grand Unity Golden Immortals normally remain at its outskirts 20 107.
- Western World — Originally prosperous, but devastated after Luohu detonated its earth veins during the Dao-Demon Conflict 449.
- Kunlun Mountain — Its dragon vein revived during the world's promotion and transformed into a true dragon more powerful than the Ancestral Dragon 424.
- Golden Tortoise Island — The Intercepting Sect's island expanded to ten thousand times its former size during the ascension, becoming rich in spiritual roots and immortal herbs 424.
- Secret realms and immortal islands — Increased in number and scale following the world's promotion, including enlarged mountain ranges, revived dragon veins, and newly formed islands 424.
Rules and World Functions
Nascent Great Dao
Following its promotion, the world no longer operated through separate Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Dao authorities in the former sense. It instead possessed a nascent Great Dao, though this authority was initially weak and incomplete 427 485.
- The nascent Great Dao provides the foundation of a Middle Thousand World 485.
- The Three Realms continued to be equal in status and to oversee one another under the world's new order 424.
- It was initially too weak to meaningfully repair the Jade Plate of Creation; consuming it would have risked downgrading the world 485.
- Its complete Great Dao Rules formed only after the world's later transformation 649.
Reincarnation
The Primordial World draws fallen beings into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing them to be reborn rather than remain dead indefinitely 477.
Empowerment of Inhabitants
The world grants its defenders an advantage near its outer periphery. During the Hunyuan World invasion, this home-field enhancement strengthened Primordial World combatants while their enemies were disadvantaged 477.
The influx of spiritual energy following the world's advancement allowed numerous inhabitants—including the Twelve Ancestral Witches—to rapidly improve their cultivation 424 544.
The deaths of external invaders supplied both resources and Great Dao Merit, enabling the Primordial World's inhabitants and its nascent Great Dao to develop at an abnormal pace 477 544.
World Origin
World Origin is the source of a world's energy; the stronger the World Origin, the stronger the world it sustains. It cannot normally be extracted except through the complete destruction of a world 617.
Li Xinghe instead nourished the Primordial World's World Origin through Great Dao Origin and the bodies of powerful invaders, avoiding the destructive method of extracting origin from another world 617.
World Lord Authority
Li Xinghe became the master of the Primordial World and controlled its nascent Great Dao. Within the world, this authority allowed him to wield combat power comparable to a Hunyuan Wuji Grand Unity Golden Immortal 427.
By the time the nascent Great Dao neared completion, Li Xinghe could move peak Hunyuan Wuji Grand Unity Golden Immortals into its depths without giving them an opportunity to resist 617.
After the Primordial World's fusion into the World Pearl, Li Xinghe became the lord of three Middle Thousand Worlds, and their combined World Power deepened his comprehension of the Great Dao Rules 905 906.
Integration with the World Pearl
The Primordial World was merged with the restored Chaos World and Li Xinghe's internal world, becoming one component of the World Pearl's unified Star Realm 905 906.
The World Pearl's later absorption of Genesis Qi strengthened the unified system's World Origin and initiated its evolution toward a Greater Thousand World 1066.
Relationships
- Pangu — Creator whose body, blood, Primordial Spirit, and Essence Blood formed much of the world's foundation. After Hongjun's defeat, Pangu restored the world's order and led its advancement before handing its control to Li Xinghe 5 422 424 905.
- Li Xinghe — World Lord who protects, develops, and uses external invaders and resources to strengthen the world. He ultimately incorporated it into the World Pearl 427 477 522 905.
- Hongjun — Former controller of the Heavenly Dao who sought to dominate and ultimately devour the Primordial World; Pangu later expelled his influence 6 96 422.
- Hunyuan World — Neighboring world whose forces repeatedly invaded the Primordial World, indirectly accelerating its growth through the deaths of its invaders 473 477.
- Chaos World — A fellow Middle Thousand World under Li Xinghe's control that was merged with the Primordial World through the World Pearl 905 906.
- Jade Plate of Creation — Maintained within the world's nascent Great Dao for repair and for others to comprehend 482.
- World Pearl — Li Xinghe's treasure and world system; the Primordial World became one of its three merged Middle Thousand Worlds, contributing to its evolution into a Primordial Supreme Treasure 905 906.
