Background / History
According to Peacock's account, the Origin Realm existed and developed a cultivation civilization before life emerged in the New Realm. The New Realm was later formed from material beyond the Origin Realm, leaving the two worlds separated by a barrier. 575
The Origin Realm continues to expand toward the New Realm. Zhui Yue states that this expansion produces Cosmic Crystals at its boundaries and causes the New Realm to expand as well. 607
Physical Characteristics
The Origin Realm is an immense sphere in which boundless land surrounds an internal starry sky. Its land is exceptionally solid, serving as part of the barrier between the Origin Realm and the New Realm. 607
- Its central starry region is known as the Endless Star Sea; no recorded traveler has crossed it from end to end. 660
- The continent contains mountains, rivers, lakes, and more than ten thousand countries. 608
- Planets float above the continent, sometimes close enough for their mountains to be visible from the ground. 607
- Celestial movements are irregular: suns may rise from different directions, while powerful Martial Artists can alter planetary orbits. 657
- Fallen Star Lake is so vast that its waves can engulf planets. 575
- The continent’s land and surrounding space are far denser and more resilient than ordinary worlds. 1019
Cultivation Environment
| Feature | Effect |

| Martial strength | Origin Realm Martial Artists are generally regarded as much stronger than counterparts from the New Realm due to constant environmental tempering. 607 |

| Time laws | More profound than those of the New Realm, reducing the effectiveness of lower-level time-based techniques. 860 |
Society and Civilization
The Origin Realm has a deeply stratified society in which status, wealth, cultivation, and national identity affect access to resources and opportunities. New Realm visitors must acquire local identities before using the Origin Realm’s Dimensional Universe system. 608 609

Connection to the New Realm
The Origin Realm and New Realm have no natural passage between them. Travel is possible only through rare, costly wormholes or through the Heavenly Gate when it is open. 575 576
Heavenly Gate
- The Heavenly Gate is supported by the Pillars of Creation and serves as the established route for New Realm Martial Artists entering the Origin Realm. 576 607
- The minimum cultivation requirement to attempt passage is the Black Hole Stage. 577
- The Pillars of Creation require ten thousand years to grow and support the Primal Realm Gate for one thousand years before collapsing. 607
- The Burgundy Nebula’s coloration is caused by the Light of the Origin Realm shining from the Heavenly Gate. 581
- The gate is overseen by the guardian envoy Zhui Yue. 607
- Travelers returning to the New Realm must suppress their strength; otherwise, unstable space may devour them into the cracks between the two realms. 988
Wormholes
- Wormholes between the realms are scarce and expensive, used only when necessary. 575
- Wormhole Eggs allow direct travel without passing through the Heavenly Gate. 1005
- Origin Realm visitors to the New Realm commonly possess strength far beyond local cultivators, though their realms are suppressed by the New Realm’s unstable space. 818 988
