Background / History
The Sea of Universes lies beyond the Original Universe and contains the remnants of countless previous universe eras. When an Original Universe is destroyed, surviving factions may rely on their miniature universes; when those miniature universes eventually collapse, their fragments become part of the Sea of Universes. Only the East Emperor and Purple Moon Sacred Lands are described as enduring through countless eras. 598
It is home to factions from the First and Second Universe Eras, the Two Great Sacred Lands, and races originating from the current Original Universe. These forces generally maintain a precarious balance, though the First Universe Era is especially unstable because its remaining powers face eventual extinction. 598 686
The Human Race once held overwhelming influence in the Sea of Universes under the Original Ancestor. After the Original Ancestor was suppressed by the Original Universe Will, Human Race Universe Lords suffered repeated losses and were forced to retreat to the Original Universe. 381
Environment
The Sea of Universes is saturated with powerful Chaos Qi. Its naturally generated pressure is fatal to insufficiently powerful beings: even Immortal deities can be instantly destroyed upon entering. 383
Its Laws and matter are more profound than those of the Original Universe. Ordinary water, stone, and vegetation can contain intricate Law and origin mysteries after prolonged exposure to Chaos Qi. 417
- It can accommodate power up to the Tenth-order True God level. 417
- The suppression imposed by the Original Universe weakens after entering it, allowing certain beings to release or develop power that had been restrained. 383
- Only the Ten Great Laws are described as being clearly manifested within it. 1047
- The Original Universe is visible within it as the largest celestial body. 587
- It receives shattered miniature universes, fragments of Supreme Treasures, mysterious items, and remains originating from the Origin Continent. 835
Major Regions

Exploration and Resources
The Sea of Universes is a source of inheritances, Secret Realms, Supreme Treasures, rare materials, and cultivation opportunities. Its dangers make it a place primarily for Universe Lords, True Gods, and stronger beings. 383 835
- Qin Hao’s clones absorbed Chaos Qi there, strengthening their Divine Bodies and raising their gene levels beyond 30,000 times. 383 411
- Kong Xuan used the Sea’s water-domain phenomena to study Water Laws, Space Law, and the fusion of the Five Elements Laws. 417
- The Universe Boat’s Black Stripe Stone Pillar Space accelerates cultivation and tempers will, both important for reaching the True God realm. 689
- Qin Hao’s Grand Formation of the Myriad Stars could isolate space within the Sea of Universes and slightly alter its restrictions, including allowing starlight to exceed the normal speed limit. 465
- Qin Hao’s miniature universe later became a major destination near the Sea of Universes, allowing Human Race members to cultivate under clearer Law mysteries. 528 977
Story Role / Major Arcs
Qin Hao’s Clones Enter the Sea of Universes
Qin Hao’s Kong Xuan, Destroyer, and Space-time clones entered through a tear at the Original Universe’s boundary. The Chaos Qi relieved the suppression they experienced within the Original Universe and enabled rapid growth. 383
After their initial transformation, the clones emerged from cocoons with Divine Bodies tens of thousands of kilometers tall and gene levels exceeding 30,000 times. They then began exploring Qingfeng Realm. 411
Qin Hao’s Exploration
Qin Hao later entered the Sea of Universes personally, departing through Toya Black Hole. He explored the Universe Boat and reached the Black Stripe Stone Pillar Space while pursuing cultivation opportunities and inheritances. 448 493
His strength and actions destabilized the Sea’s existing balance. The First and Second Universe Eras and Purple Moon Sacred Land gathered more than fifty Universe’s Strongest and five hundred Universe Lords against him. 610
Human Race Expansion
After the Human Race’s rise, its leadership ordered Universe Lords to enter the Sea of Universes en masse. More than ninety Universe Lords were eligible to explore, supported by True Gods stationed at key forbidden zones. 689
The Human Race established protected gathering places in Qingfeng Realm, the Universe Boat, and Flowing Mountain. These bases provided defenses, concealment, and aid for divine-power recovery. 690
Sea of Universes Turmoil
The disappearance of dozens of Universe Lords caused widespread panic among Sea of Universes factions. While other groups withdrew from forbidden zones, the Human Race continued exploring under the protection of Qin Hao’s Star Gods. 697 701
Subsequent clashes involved more than one hundred True Gods and thousands of Universe Lords. Human Race forces, backed by Qin Hao, ultimately held the advantage. 794
Arrival of Jin World
Jin World entered the Sea of Universes as a humanoid celestial body approximately 160 million light-years tall. Its collision with Xuan Shui River shattered the Secret Realm and created a new deadly zone. 861 862
The arrival triggered another mass mobilization, as factions believed Jin World contained opportunities capable of changing their positions within the Sea of Universes. 862 939
