Primordial Wilderness

Power Progression

Cosmology and Nature

The Primordial Wilderness was created when Pangu attempted to prove the Dao through World Creation. The Three Thousand Chaos Godfiends opposed him, beginning the Heaven-Opening Calamity; the defeated Godfiends' scattered essence and resentment later formed the Ferocious Beast race. 811

Its original fundamental source is the Great Dao, the law sustaining heaven, earth, and all phenomena. The Great Dao later retreated, allowing the Heavenly Dao to govern the world. 372 437

• Great Dao — stands above the Heavenly Dao; its laws can suppress Heavenly Dao laws even within the latter's home territory. 748
• Heavenly Dao — governs the Primordial Wilderness and its cultivation rules, but its power and the world's fate are inseparably linked. 748 750
• Earthly Dao — awakened through Pingxin and the Netherworld; its revival restored earth veins, expanded the world, and strengthened its origin. 470
• Human Dao — revived alongside the Human Race's rise, becoming a major force opposing Heavenly Dao control. 600 730

Cultivation and World Order

The Primordial Wilderness differs from worlds where power depends on divine office or faith. Innate deities exist, but later-born beings can also cultivate independently, refine their bodies, comprehend laws, and pursue immortality. 345 346

• Strength is pursued through cultivation methods, comprehension, magic treasures, destiny, and opportunities. 425
• Hongjun teaches three routes to Sainthood: Slaying the Three Corpses, Attaining Dao Through Strength, and Attaining Dao Through Merit. 14
• The Heavenly Dao restricts the path of the Great Dao because a cultivator reaching the Limitless Golden Immortal of the Origin realm would stand beyond its jurisdiction. 811
• High-level combat is a systemic danger: after the Investiture of the Gods war, Saints are forbidden from casually entering the world because their clashes can damage its origin and physical structure. 453 703

History

Geography

• Three Immortal Islands — Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang; three Chaos Fragments in the East Sea and among the foremost blessed lands, comparable to Kunlun and Yujing. 9
• Great Desolation Continent — the principal landmass of the world; later divided into four great continents after ancient calamities. 821
• Northern Kuru Continent — a cold, barren northern region with scarce resources, numerous demon forces, and many hidden cultivators. 821 825
• Netherworld and Underworld — core domains of the Earthly Dao, rich in Yin-aligned spiritual energy and central to its resurgence. 470 779
• Guixu — a vortex beneath the East Sea leading to an attached otherworldly domain and ancient extraterritorial battlefield. Its interior is filled with ruins, bones, and traces of war. 987 989
• Chaos beyond the world — a vast, dangerous expanse containing violent energy currents, ancient dangers, and potential supreme treasures; even Saints do not enter it lightly. 702 906

Inhabitants and Major Powers

• Human Race — later becomes the protagonist race of heaven and earth, takes control of the Heavenly Court, and seeks to uphold order across the Three Realms. 600 737
• Demon Race — founded and unified under Dijun and Taiyi; its expansion intensifies its conflict with the Witch Race. 11 16
• Witch Race — led by the Twelve Ancestor Witches; Houtu's establishment of reincarnation grants the race a decisive new power. 55
• Dragon Race — an ancient race centered around the Four Seas; it later submits to the Earthly Dao under the East Sea Dragon King's leadership. 669
• Ferocious Beast race — born from the defeated Chaos Godfiends' blood and resentment; violent by nature and hostile to Pangu's created world. 811
• Heavenly Court — the administrative hub of the Three Realms, created through the Investiture of the Gods framework and contested by successive powers. 684 996
• Heavenly Dao camp and Earthly Dao camp — rival blocs whose struggle shapes the world's political and cultivation order. 669 705

Condition and Threats

• The Primordial Wilderness is vulnerable to repeated great calamities. Hongjun's deductions hold that its origin can endure no more than nine Immeasurable Tribulations before vital energy is exhausted. 748
• Its world membrane and outer defensive line face threats from Chaos; unknown colossal entities have already attacked the border, inflicting heavy casualties. 794
• Guixu exposes the existence of stronger extraterritorial civilizations. If a stable passage between worlds opens, the Primordial Wilderness may be unable to resist becoming their vassal. 989
• The world's continued stability depends on its origin remaining strong enough to contain high-level cultivators and prevent Saint-level battles from tearing apart mountains, earth veins, and heaven itself. 470 703
