Nature and Cosmology

The Primordial Wilderness is an infinite realm of Existence, created by Great God Pangu. Unlike ordinary worlds, it is not constrained by finite spiritual energy or material resources: all things arise from Existence, and the realm continues expanding over time. Houtu estimates that it produces the equivalent of one Great Luo Supreme roughly every thousand Yuan Hui. 24 57 73

Buzhou Mountain is its defining landmark: a majestic pillar supporting heaven and earth, with the sun and moon circling it and stars guarding it. 2

  • Heavenly Dao — The governing order of the realm; its recognition determines whether outsiders can properly establish themselves within the Primordial Wilderness. 36 37 42
  • Heavenly Dao Origin — The manifested foundation of the Heavenly Dao, containing infinite laws and divine principles. It can preserve high-level scriptures, reinforce cultivation conditions, and be employed as an inexhaustible defensive power within the realm. 258 361 444
  • River of Time — Great Luo beings may traverse and affect time nodes, while major conflicts can leave consequences across the realm’s timeline. 9 34 137
  • Chaos — The outer expanse beyond the world, inhabited or traversed by remnants of pre-world-opening Gods and Devils, Chaos Demon Gods, and external worlds. 21 108 279

History

Creation and early eras

Great God Pangu created the Primordial Wilderness as the supreme creation of Existence. The later revelation surrounding the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree states that Pangu once felled the original tree and harvested the Myriad Heavens and Worlds to forge the Primordial Wilderness. 24 452

Following the Dragon-Han Calamity, Buzhou Mountain remains a major center of Innate life. Innate Divine Saints dominate this period, though they are later joined by races that reproduce and develop through bloodline inheritance. 2 36

The Great Luo era

Nuwa becomes the First Great Luo of the Primordial Wilderness, establishing the precedent of a being with a fully native Primordial Wilderness origin attaining the realm. Her breakthrough causes the world’s Great Dao to resonate throughout time and space. 8 9

The Primordial Wilderness undergoes a further transformation when three thousand Innate Divine Saints attain Great Luo simultaneously. Their completed Daos deepen the realm itself and disturb Chaos beyond its borders. 21

Dao Ancestor and the rise of the Human Race

Hongjun’s sermons at Purple Firmament Palace organize the dominant cultivation paths of the era. The Innate Divine Saints’ recognition of him provides the karmic foundation for his intended integration with the Heavenly Dao. 21 36

Nuwa subsequently creates the Human Race with the Heavenly Dao’s recognition. The resulting descent of merit establishes humanity as a central force in the future of the Primordial Wilderness. 38

Calamities and reconstruction

The Witch-Demon conflict devastates the realm on a massive scale. Although ruined mountains and spirit veins are later restored to their prior time nodes, fallen Great Luo Supremes and Quasi-Saints remain dead, leaving only their Innate Indestructible Spiritual Lights. The Witch Clan also relocates to the Underworld after establishing reincarnation. 137

Heavenly Dao Great Perfection

The filling of Heavenly Court divine positions leads to Heavenly Dao Great Perfection. The Heavenly Dao Origin manifests openly, while Chaos Pure Light spreads through Buzhou Mountain, major sacred mountains, Earth Veins, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 258

Era expansion and external war

World fragments returned by Chaos Demon Gods are integrated into the Primordial Wilderness, including a continent comparable to nearly half the Western Lands and the Karma Demon God’s world of countless universes. 279

Fang Xun later leads Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals in assimilating Wuji Worlds. These acquisitions strengthen the Heavenly Dao Origin but also draw the Primordial Era into direct competition with the Mythological Worlds. 360 361

The conflict escalates into a war between the Primordial Wilderness Myriad Heavens and the Mythological Worlds. Fang Xun eventually declares total war, centralizing resources under the Heavenly Court and granting Selfless Limitless existences unrestricted access to the Heavenly Dao Origin. 447 474

Inhabitants and Civilization

  • Innate Divine Saints — The earliest dominant population. Even the weakest are True Immortals, born with cultivation knowledge, strong talent, and immense lifespans. 36
  • Human Race — Created by Nuwa and later guided by figures including Fang Xun and Hong Yi. Humanity develops from vulnerable settlements into a major civilization with immense destiny. 38 44 175
  • Witch Clan — A body-refining race lacking Primordial Spirits. Though few in number, they rule the Underworld and control the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 32 137 253
  • Demon Race — One of the largest powers in the realm, formed from numerous Innate Divine Saints and later absorbing developing bloodline races. 36 253
  • Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans — Ancient hegemonic races whose aquatic, avian, and terrestrial vassal races span the Primordial Wilderness. 181
  • Witch, Demon, and Human Tribes — Together account for more than ninety percent of the realm’s living beings and form the basis for the broader Human Path fortune. 253 254

Cultivation System

Immortal and Golden Immortal realms

Immortals possess infinite lifespans and do not age. Golden Immortals may revive through their Golden Immortal Dao Fruits so long as those fruits remain intact. 95

Great Luo Dao Realm

The Great Luo Dao Realm represents the pinnacle of Existence in the early Primordial Wilderness system. A Great Luo possesses infinite time and space, freedom across past, present, and future, and an Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light. 34 95

Paths beyond Great Luo

  • Three Corpses Method — A path toward Nothingness, based on slaying the Three Corpses. 34
  • Reversing to Limitlessness — Requires ascending the Innate Five Primes; described by Hongjun as the direct path toward Limitlessness. 24
  • Merit Sainthood — Great merit and a Heavenly Dao token may grant the fruit of a Heavenly Dao Sage. 24
  • Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness — A later introduced path of Nothingness that broadens the options available to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin. 282
  • Path of Existence — Demonstrated by Hong Yi, who proves that cultivation focused on Existence can advance beyond conventional expectations. 151 444

World Functions and Defenses

Heavenly Dao Origin

The Heavenly Dao Origin manifests as an immeasurable expanse of Dao laws. Its Chaos Pure Light enhances the talent and future potential of all living beings, while its influence fundamentally reshapes the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 258

  • Records Dao Arts and scriptures that ordinary media cannot preserve indefinitely. 361 444
  • Improves the realm’s cultivation environment after world assimilation. 361
  • Can grant Primordial Wilderness Sages a major amplification of power. 444
  • Supports the Jade Plate of Creation, an artifact closely tied to the authority of the Heavenly Dao Origin. 451 452

World assimilation

The Primordial Wilderness can incorporate compatible external lands, worlds, and world fragments into its structure.

  • Yang Mei’s former world fragment is accepted after he exposes its mysteries to the Heavenly Dao Origin and becomes part of the Primordial Wilderness continent. 279
  • The Karma World becomes a celestial body above the Western lands after its integration. 279
  • Assimilated Wuji Worlds become celestial bodies governed by the Heavenly Court. 361
  • Fang Xun later extends this process to Myriad Heavens worlds through the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree and Heavenly Dao Origin. 441

Defensive formations

During the war against the Mythological Worlds, the Primordial Wilderness employs layered defenses centered on the Heavenly Dao Origin.

  • Cosmic Stars Great Array — Activated by Heng'e as a major defensive line. 360 361
  • Heavenly Dao Origin Divine Authority Great Array — A second defensive line prepared alongside the Cosmic Stars Great Array. 360
  • Heavenly Dao Great Wall — Fang Xun releases the Heavenly Dao Origin’s restrictions, forming wall-like barriers that even Mythological World forces struggle to breach. 361
  • Ritual of the Other Shore — Contracted into a space-time wall to isolate invasion channels and create a dedicated battlefield. 448

Key Connections

  • Heavenly Dao / Heavenly Dao Origin — The realm’s governing order and inexhaustible source of laws, cultivation resources, and defensive authority. 258 361
  • Hongjun — Former Dao Ancestor whose sermons and planned Dao integration fundamentally shaped the early order of the Primordial Wilderness. 21 36 451
  • Nuwa — First Great Luo of the Primordial Wilderness and creator of the Human Race; later entrusted with the Jade Plate of Creation to defend the realm. 9 38 452
  • Fang Xun — Native Innate Dao Tree who becomes a central architect of the realm’s expansion, world integration, and war preparations. 2 360 441 474
  • Myriad Heavens Dao Tree — Supports the Primordial Wilderness’s starry sky, fortune, and Dao; its connection to the original tree makes it crucial to the realm’s stability. 452 455 474
