Background / History
Primordial Era
The Star Abyss is described as having conceived the universe and created all things. After detecting three extra-dimensional Destroyers, it began the Star Abyss War and drew power from existence to create gods capable of fighting the invaders. 320
To delay the Destroyers, it differentiated itself into six layers. The Origin Abyss remained central while the upper five layers acted as projections intended to protect it. 1086
The Star Abyss later created six Arch-Gods, who established six Outer Abyss Universes as defensive frontiers where construction, development, and war could proceed together. 1086
The Main Gods and the Outer Abyss War
The Star Abyss Will divided its thoughts and power into six Main Gods, each associated with an Abyss Layer. The six cultural symbols of Dragon, Demon, Asura, White Wolf, Angel, and Spirit Deer likewise correspond to these gods and layers. 1108
During the Outer Abyss War, the gods and their later generations fought the Destroyers. The first-generation Arch-Gods suffered heavily: Destruction and Exquisite Craft were annihilated, Bizarre was divided, Redemption retreated, Plunder was usurped by Red King, and Overlord’s Murphydria refused to meaningfully fight. 1086
The Rise of Narratives
After the Outer Abyss War, civilizations within each layer developed into Narrative Civilizations. These civilizations sought independence from the Source Abyss Will by unifying their layer’s manpower, resources, paths, and gods. 897
The resulting order did not restore full unity. The Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives instead developed competing interests, leaving the Star Abyss vulnerable to internal fragmentation and external threats. 1076 1106
Nature and Cosmology
Will and Universe
The Star Abyss Will and the Star Abyss universe are characterized as mutually dependent rather than separate beings: without the Will, the universe cannot think or act; without the universe, the Will cannot move or exist meaningfully. 1108
A competing account given by Pryor states that neither Earth nor the Star Abyss was created by another existence; instead, both are primordial beginnings that collide and intertwine to generate worlds and universes. 765
Six-Layer Structure
| Abyssal structure | Description |
|---|---|
| Origin / Source Abyss | The central and first narrative space, identified as the origin of everything in the Star Abyss framework. 765 |
| Upper five layers | Projections of the Origin Abyss created to delay threats and maximize protection of the Star Abyss. 1086 |
| Descent | Entering a lower layer imposes Curses while unlocking greater potential, lifespan, status, and personal strength. 719 |
| Boundary Abyss | A lower layer regarded as the starting point of the Path to Ascend to Godhood. 838 |
Abilities & Influence
Creation of Gods
The Star Abyss created gods by drawing strength from existence, specifically to oppose the three Destroyers. 320

- Li Mingji was instructed to wait for Seeds rather than contact him directly, apparently to conceal the Star Abyss’s actions from unspecified observers. 711
The *Star Abyss* Project
The game known as Star Abyss functions as more than entertainment: it is presented as a strategic plan through which God Samurai are disguised as Players or Descenders and sent into the shallow Star Abyss. 671 711
- Lai Anding developed the game-like system after analyzing powers associated with the Hidden Society councilor Pryor. 671
- The system’s testing accounts were salvaged from Chaos and reused as ancient remnants of the Star Abyss. 671
