History

The Primordial Wilderness was opened by Pangu and possesses an exceptionally vast, complete Great Dao and strict laws. It contains the Thirty-Three Heavens, Netherworld, Four Seas, Eight Wastelands, countless cave-heavens, and innumerable living beings. Even ten thousand Perfect Universe Worlds would not equal one ten-thousandth of its scale. 548 679

Pangu ultimately transformed into the world’s myriad things. At the dawn of creation, he also slew three thousand Chaos Demon Gods and used their bodies to fill the Great Desolation, although some fragments remained scattered throughout Chaos. 1 679

After the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Calamity, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans withdrew from the world. Their departure created an opening for Innate Deities to emerge across the Primordial Wilderness, claim Daoist arenas, and begin a new era of contention. 17 29

The calamity devastated the Western Continent and greatly diminished the Myriad Races. Ancestral Dragon swore to guard the Four Seas eternally and regulate the world’s water veins as repayment for his clan’s sins. Taiqing later exposed Luohu’s manipulation of the three clans’ struggle for Destiny and Hongjun’s involvement in exploiting the resulting catastrophe. 15 127

The world’s development is hindered by the rate at which chaotic qi is converted into Innate Spiritual Qi. When powerful cultivators become too numerous, the world can generate calamity qi to reduce their number and return spiritual qi to heaven and earth. Taiqing identifies solving this conversion problem as part of the Sanqing’s mission. 151

Houtu’s completion of the Underworld gave the Primordial Wilderness a functioning cycle of reincarnation. Countless beings sensed that the world had become more complete, while the awakening Heavenly Dao regarded the completed Underworld as a major disruption to its control. 277 278

The world itself later developed disgust toward the Heavenly Dao after the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches used their Merit of World Creation to communicate its attack on Xuanqing through the Mysterious Demon Realm. Houtu also reported the matter to Pangu and the Great Dao through offerings in Pangu Hall. 354

The world later received a vast influx of Innate Spiritual Qi from the Five Elements Great World. Its mountains grew taller, its continents broadened, the Western Continent recovered from prior devastation, and attacks by peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Demon God Remnants became comparatively insignificant to its strengthened body. 530

Despite this recovery, the Heavenly Dao opened four Mysterious Demon Realms to cause destruction and target the Witch Race. Daoist disciples, the Earthly Dao faction, and disciples of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerables intervened against the Demon God Remnants. Primordial Phoenix’s killing of Mituo and the subsequent Heavenly Punishment were followed by further devastation in the Southern Continent, where Ancestral Witches and Immortal Court remnants joined the defense. 525 536

As the world became stronger, the Heavenly Dao acknowledged that ordinary living beings could no longer shatter it and sought to use Saints or Hunyuan Celestial Venerables instead. Taiqing’s incarnation later killed Yaochi and Haotian, preventing Yaochi’s planned self-destruction from devastating the world. 531 567

The Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches subsequently preached their Great Dao Laws to the Myriad Races. Their civilizing endeavor was followed by a Dao Discussion Assembly at Buzhou Mountain, where disciples from the Witch Race, Daoism, Heavenly Court, Demon Race, Western Teachings, and other traditions exchanged insights and sparred. 679 680 681 693

The completion of the Great Desolation Four Extremes Great Array further transformed the world. Chaos Qi was sealed outside its barrier, spatial nodes were reinforced, and even battles between Daluo Golden Immortals of the Origin could no longer destroy a continent. 724

Luohu later assaulted the world’s defenses with a demon puppet army and accepted an alliance proposed by the Heavenly Dao through Hongjun’s Three Corpses incarnation. During the subsequent Chaos Battlefield conflict, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi turned invading Chaos Giant Beasts into law fragments and earth-vein nourishment, allowing the defense itself to support the world’s growth. 767 839

During the Chaos Battlefield conflict, the Chaos Green Lotus completed its descent and triggered the Primordial Wilderness’s final ascension. Its rank-based and perfection-based fluctuations transformed the world’s laws and matter while destabilizing Chaos Beasts, other Chaos-based worlds, Luohu, and the remaining Heavenly Dao consciousness. 873 874

The completed ascension strengthened the cultivation foundations of the world’s defenders, with the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches receiving the greatest enhancements. The continuing perfection tide enabled Taichu Daoist and the Pangu True Body to mount a coordinated counteroffensive, dismantling the Chaos Beast formation and forcing Luohu to retreat. Luohu subsequently created a new Demon Realm in Chaos as a base for renewed war. 875 882 888

Within the Primordial Wilderness, the Star God Lineage, Demon Race, and Immortal Clan reinforced the Eastern Continent alliance at Two Realms Mountain. Their formations drove back the Devil Dao army supported by Northern Darkness Sect cultivators. The allies held the eastern ridge and repaired its damaged law patterns rather than pursuing the retreating enemy; Wutian remained blocked at the mountain afterward. 903 921

Luohu’s Seven Emotions and Six Desires incarnation also guided armies from more than a dozen universes toward the world. Led by Zeus, Odin, Lugh, and Shiva, the invaders attacked while Chaos Beasts occupied the defenders and strained the golden barrier. Taiqing identified their intent to plunder the Primordial Wilderness during its ascension and ordered a decisive counterattack by the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches. 906 907

The defenders captured the invading Cosmic Worlds and drew them toward the Primordial Wilderness. After Luohu’s seven emotion-based avatars were destroyed, the captured worlds merged into its law network, strengthening the barrier and foundations while expanding the continents and enriching Innate Spiritual Qi. The participating avatars returned to their true bodies, and the Chaos battlefields temporarily quieted. 910 913

Following this merger, the world’s completed laws initially appeared to have closed the natural process that produced Innate Deities. However, the Five Elements Great World supplied elemental qi that condensed into five new races and a five-elements deity on the Central Continent. This deity was the first Innate Deity naturally born since the world’s ascension, and the races’ shared cycle helped replenish the world. 914 916

As the Primordial Wilderness approached stability, the Heavenly Dao abandoned its failing plan for a vast tribulation and arranged a rival structure in Chaos. Luohu, Hongjun, and Jidu established the New Three Realms, whose circulation restored the Heavenly Dao’s strength and its parity with the Earthly and Human Daos. The Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches renewed their plan to erase the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness while preserving the world’s law network. 921 922

The Heavenly Dao detected the gathering at Buzhou Mountain and prepared a preemptive invasion involving the New Three Realms, Ten Directions Universe Worlds, Chaos-discovered experts, and Chaos Beasts under Luohu. In response, the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned and stabilized Pangu’s True Body in Pangu Hall to strike first. 924

During the renewed conflict, the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches continued fighting the Heavenly Dao while allied formations confronted the external forces. The seventy-two Earthly Fiend Elders killed Chaos Beasts and returned their Chaos Origin to the Primordial Wilderness, where the thirty-six Heavenly Spirit Elders incorporated it into the Witch Race’s bloodline. Donghua simultaneously reorganized the Spirit Race’s Myriad Spirits Great Formation. 938 939

Geography & Structure

• Five Continents — The Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Continents expand together during the world’s ascension. They expand again when the captured Cosmic Worlds merge into its law network. 874 913
• Central Continent — Centered on Buzhou Mountain and Pangu Bloodline-founded earth veins; both the continent and mountain greatly expand during ascension. It later becomes the convergence point for the five elemental races and the birthplace of the new five-elements Innate Deity. 874 914
• Eastern Sea — The only region where the hidden Three Immortal Islands periodically intersect with the Great Desolation World. 18
• Undying Volcano — A southern danger whose Fire of Separation must be directed and controlled to preserve the world’s stability. 291 813
• Return Ruins — Located in the Eastern Sea; its devouring force is stabilized through the ley-line network during the world’s expansion. 813
• Netherworld — A realm of reincarnation that grows alongside the Primordial Wilderness and remains roughly one-third its size. 588
• Human Realm — An attached outer realm opened beyond Shouyang Mountain; it lacks Innate Spiritual Qi and is less profound than the Netherworld. 588
• Thirty-Six Heavens — Together with the Netherworld and Human Realm, forms a triadic defensive arrangement around the Great Desolation. 588
• Two Realms Mountain — A contested frontier where the Eastern Continent alliance holds the eastern ridge against Devil Dao forces stationed to the west. Repeated fighting damages the ridge, which cultivators repair through its law patterns. 903
• Witch City and Tongtian Tower — The Witch Race maintains a great formation within Tongtian Tower. Chaos Origin recovered from external battles passes through its protective light barrier and is incorporated into the race’s bloodline by the Heavenly Spirit Elders. 938 939

Five Elements Distribution

The Five Elements Great World, anchored by the Innate Five Directions Banner, protects the Primordial Wilderness and refines Chaos Qi into Innate Five Elements qi. Its component worlds supply the corresponding continents without disrupting their law networks. 914

The five races form from the condensed qi on their respective continents and subsequently converge around the five-elements deity on the Central Continent. 914

Laws & Characteristics

Innate Spiritual Qi Cycle

The Primordial Wilderness relies on the conversion of Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi. This process originally limited long-term cultivation growth, but the Five Elements Great World and the Great Desolation Four Extremes Great Array greatly improved the supply and circulation of spiritual qi. 151 530 724

• The Five Elements Great World converts endless Chaos Qi into pure Innate Spiritual Qi and directs most of it into the Primordial Wilderness. 530
• The Four Extremes Great Array absorbs part of the Chaos Qi outside the world and transforms it into spiritual qi. 724
• After the array’s completion, cultivators report that cultivation speed increases by at least thirty percent. 724
• Integrating the origins of captured Cosmic Worlds further increases the density of Innate Spiritual Qi. 913
• After ascension, the Five Elements Great World distributes refined elemental qi to the five corresponding continents. The newly born elemental races and five-elements deity establish a mutually sustaining cycle that stabilizes their laws and replenishes the world. 914

World Stability

The world becomes progressively harder to damage as it grows.

• Before its expansion, peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Demon God Remnants could destroy mountain ranges and threaten the world’s origin. 530
• After the Five Elements spiritual-qi influx, such beings can at most destroy individual mountaintops. 530
• After the Four Extremes Array is established, even Limitless Daluo Golden Immortals of the Origin cannot destroy a single Great Desolation continent. 724
• During ascension, even ordinary sand and dust are refined into denser, more stable material. 874
• The Four Extremes Array absorbs and dissolves battle aftershocks during the Chaos Battlefield conflict. 851
• The barrier is not invulnerable: sustained attacks from an enormous Chaos Beast horde cause visible cracks during the later multi-universe invasion. 906
• The origins of conquered Cosmic Worlds reinforce the law network and barrier while the continents continue expanding. 913

Rank and Perfection Fluctuations

The completed ascension produces cosmic tremors based on rank and perfection rather than ordinary destructive force. 873 874

• The rank-based tremor disrupts Chaos Beasts and alters the Law structures and energy circulation of distant worlds. 874
• The perfection fluctuation expands the continents, raises the heavens, deepens the earth, and strengthens Pangu-linked terrain and earth veins. 874
• The Five-Colored Light Screen incorporates the rank-based tremor into its Five Virtues cycle instead of resisting it. 874
• Chaos Beasts and Luohu’s Demonic Path Laws crack and collapse under the world’s perfected order. 874 875
• The perfect ripple strengthens connected beings’ cultivation foundations, bloodlines, and Laws, with especially strong effects on Pangu’s descendants. 875
• Lingering perfection waves continue raising allied cultivation without destabilizing foundations. They also help transform turbulent Chaos currents into orderly veins of law. 876
• The continuing tide supports the defenders’ counteroffensive and allows the Chaos Green Lotus to extend its orderly influence deeper into Chaos. 882

Assimilation and Returned Origins

The Primordial Wilderness can grow through the reclamation and integration of cultivation gains, defeated enemies, and other worlds.

• When Tianlu’s Dao Heart shatters, he dissolves into the Dao and returns everything gained during his life to the world. The Earthly Dao then retrieves his divine soul and true spirit through a Reincarnation mark. 606
• Hong Yun’s Great Five Elements Sword Formation refines Chaos Giant Beasts into pure law fragments that contribute to the world’s advancement and thicken the golden halo at its boundary. 839
• Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book assimilates scattered beasts into nourishment for the earth veins rather than merely destroying them. 839
• The Five Virtues Returning-to-Origin Formation transforms attacking forces through the cycle of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust, returning them to Origin and incorporating them into the world’s advancement. 843
• Captured Cosmic Worlds retain functioning law networks while being drawn toward the barrier. Their origins subsequently merge into the Primordial Wilderness’s existing network and reinforce it. 910 913
• The Earthly Fiend Elders recover Chaos Origin from slain beasts, while the Heavenly Spirit Elders guide it into the Witch Race’s bloodline within the world. This strengthens the race and deepens its formation’s operation. 938 939

Innate Deity Generation

Innate Deities originally emerge bearing the Destiny of heaven and earth. Their mass birth after the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Calamity marks a new era in the world’s history. 29

Following ascension and the absorption of foreign Cosmic Worlds, the completed laws initially seem to have closed the old conditions for their natural birth. The condensation of Innate Five Elements qi nevertheless produces new elemental races and an Innate Deity at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Pinnacle, demonstrating renewed natural life generation under the elevated world’s laws. Taiqing attributes this development to the natural evolution of the world’s Origin after its elevation. 914 916

Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Dao Balance

The Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos operate within the Primordial Wilderness’s law network. After the world’s elevation, the Heavenly Dao temporarily falls behind the other two. The boon supplied by the New Three Realms restores its depth and breadth, placing all three on equal footing and preserving the complete structure of the world’s foundations. 922

Taiqing distinguishes this structural balance from the danger posed by the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness. He warns that its continued recovery could pull the law network out of alignment and progressively destroy the world’s foundations. The Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches therefore plan to stabilize the network with allied reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods while erasing that consciousness. 922

Major Defenses

• Great Desolation Four Extremes Great Array — A world-encompassing array built by the Sanqing, Twelve Ancestral Witches, and allied clans. It anchors the four extremes with Li Fire, Ren Water, Geng Metal, and Yi Wood. It later absorbs and dissolves battle aftershocks. 724 851
• World Barrier — Seals Chaos Qi outside the Great Desolation and prevents Chaos Beasts from entering. It suffers cracks under a later enormous beast assault but is subsequently reinforced by the integration of captured Cosmic Worlds. 724 906 913
• Five-Colored Light Screen — A defensive line formed from Five Virtues Power; it remains stable during the ascension and harmonizes with the rank-based tremor. Its underlying Five Virtues Returning-to-Origin Formation converts attacking forces into nourishment for the world, although Luohu’s sustained attacks can weaken its radiance and operating rhythm. 843 872 873 874
• Chaos Green Lotus — Its stabilized phantom and physical form are central to the world’s final ascension and the imposition of perfected order in Chaos. After ascension, it uses the defenders’ combined radiance as an anchor and expands its orderly influence into deeper Chaos. 873 874 875 882
• Pangu Bloodline foundations — Buzhou Mountain, its earth veins, the Sanqing, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches provide a foundational connection to Pangu’s inheritance. 874 875
• Five Elements Great World — An external guardian and spiritual-qi source anchored by the Innate Five Directions Banner. Its five component worlds distribute corresponding elemental qi across the continents. 530 914
• Great Five Elements Sword Formation and Earth Book — Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi maintain complementary defenses that refine or assimilate Chaos Beasts into resources supporting the world’s advancement. 839
• Taichu Daoist and Pangu True Body — Combined manifestations of the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches whose coordinated attacks dismantle Luohu’s Chaos Beast formation after ascension. The later operation against the Heavenly Dao summons Pangu’s True Body through the Fifteen Capital Heaven Hunyuan Origin-Returning Divine Fiend Grand Formation, reinforced by the true Pangu Axe and Pangu’s memorial tablet. 882 924
• Allied formations at Two Realms Mountain — The Star God Lineage’s Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, Demon Race’s Solar True Fire Great Formation, and Immortal Clan’s Immortal Dao Law Great Formation jointly support the Eastern Continent alliance. 903
• Witch Race and Spirit Race formations — The Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Elders sustain the Witch Race’s defense through recovered Chaos Origin, while Donghua directs the Myriad Spirits Great Formation’s withdrawal and reorganization during the renewed war. 938 939

Relationships

• Pangu — Creator of the Primordial Wilderness; his Bloodline, inheritance, earth veins, and Heaven-Opening Intent remain central to its stability and growth. He transformed into its myriad things and used the bodies of slain Chaos Demon Gods to fill it. 1 548 679 874
• Great Dao — The higher authority that bestows merit supporting the world’s expansion and recognizes major undertakings performed for its benefit. During the ascension trial, it imposes an upper limit that prevents summoning the complete Pangu True Body. 530 724 859
• Heavenly Dao — Nominal cosmic authority within the world, but increasingly hostile toward its growth, completed Underworld, and independent power structure. Its recovery through the New Three Realms restores parity with the Earthly and Human Daos, while its consciousness remains the target of the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches’ planned removal. 278 531 713 922 924
• Sanqing — Pangu’s descendants who work to improve spiritual-qi conversion, construct world-stabilizing formations, and defend the world against the Heavenly Dao and Chaos threats. Their incarnations and avatars also capture and integrate foreign Cosmic Worlds, converting military victory into further growth. 151 724 875 910 913
• Twelve Ancestral Witches — Pangu’s descendants allied with the Sanqing; they establish the Underworld, reinforce the world’s defenses, and resonate with its ascension through their Pangu Bloodline. They participate in the counteroffensive against Luohu, the integration of captured worlds, and the renewed campaign against the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness. 277 724 875 882 913 924
• Earthly Dao — A major internal Dao system tied to the Underworld and reincarnation; it preserves the Primordial Spirits of fallen Earthly Dao Saints within its law cycle. It operates on equal footing with the Heavenly and Human Daos after the Heavenly Dao receives the New Three Realms’ boon. 606 873 922
• Human Dao — Awakened through Nuwa and the Human Race; it becomes one of the world’s key Dao systems alongside the Earthly Dao and Heavenly Dao. Its Origin preserves the Primordial Spirits of Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi after Luohu destroys their bodies. 592 607 872
• Chaos Green Lotus — A stabilizing source of perfected order whose completed descent marks the world’s final ascension. Its influence continues expanding with the perfection tide and the defenders’ Pangu Bloodline and Heaven-Opening Intent. 873 874 882
• Luohu — An external threat whose Demonic Path seeks to invade and exploit the Primordial Wilderness; the world’s ascension severely destabilizes his body and Laws. After retreating, he creates a new Demon Realm, directs foreign universes toward the world, and joins the Heavenly Dao’s renewed invasion plan. 590 693 874 888 906 924
• Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi — Allied defenders whose Great Five Elements Sword Formation and Earth Book convert attacking Chaos Beasts into resources for the world’s laws and earth veins. 839
• Innate Five Elements races and deity — Naturally born products of the elevated world’s Origin and refined elemental qi. Their mutual generation cycle supports the world’s replenishment and law stability. 914 916 921
• Foreign Cosmic Worlds — Mount Olympus, the World Tree, the Tuatha Dé Danann, Mount Sumeru, and other universes initially contribute invading armies under Luohu’s guidance. After defeat, their captured worlds and origins are integrated into the Primordial Wilderness. 906 910 913
• New Three Realms — A rival external structure formed from Luohu’s Demon Realm, Hongjun’s purple-qi Universe World, and Jidu’s causality-based Universe World. Their combined circulation strengthens the Heavenly Dao and provides a base for renewed opposition to the Primordial Wilderness. 921 922 924
• Star God Lineage, Demon Race, and Immortal Clan — Distinct powers that cooperate with the Eastern Continent alliance against the Devil Dao forces at Two Realms Mountain. 903
• Spirit Race and Witch Race — Allied races whose coordinated formations defend the world during the renewed conflict. The Witch Race also benefits from Chaos Origin recovered and returned by its Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Elders. 938 939

Trivia

• The Blood Sea is described as the place where the mixed blood, resentment, and dark emotions of fallen beings return. 29
• Flower-Fruit Mountain was once described as the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents and source dragon vein of the Three Isles, but the Primordial Wilderness’s immense expansion diminished that status. 598
• The Primordial Wilderness is far larger and stronger than its original historical course, with Innate Deities still widespread during an era when they were nearly absent in Taiqing’s memories. 587
• All things in the Primordial Wilderness possess the Five Elements, making its myriad living things a basis for comprehending individual Five Elements Laws. 17
• After creating his new Demon Realm at enormous personal cost, Luohu marvels at the power Pangu must have possessed to create the first world. 888
