Cosmology
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Scale | Boundless; no Universe's Strongest has discovered its end. Light-years are its basic unit of distance. 177 186 |
| Environment | Filled with boundless Chaos Energy Flow. 177 |
| Central celestial body | The Original Universe is the largest known celestial body within it. 177 |
| Travel | God Kingdom teleportation and Dark Universe flight do not function here; travelers rely on teleportation and natural wormholes. Teleporting into uncharted areas risks becoming permanently lost. 177 |
| Connection to the Original Universe | The Toya Black Hole can pierce the Original Universe's membrane wall. Its far end connects to 39 interconnected natural wormholes leading to different Cosmic Ocean regions. 177 |
| Reincarnation | The Cosmic Ocean is divided into reincarnation eras. Beings who do not transcend the True God realm face a lifespan limit of three reincarnation eras. 178 |
| Ancient origins | The Cosmic Boat is confirmed to be a supreme treasure of the ancient Wu civilization, which did not originate in the Cosmic Ocean. 196 |
Major Regions and Landmarks
- Qing Feng Realm — One of the Cosmic Ocean's three great forbidden zones; its main mountain has a severed peak and immense waterfalls cascading down its surface. 178
- Cosmic Boat — A damaged super-large mechanical-flow palace treasure tens of millions of light-years high and hundreds of millions of light-years long. It devours broken miniature universes and converts them into cosmic energy, creating catastrophic fire rivers, cold oceans, lightning, and other violent aftershocks. 180
- Black Vein Stone Pillar Zone — A region within the Cosmic Boat containing 16 Black Vein Stone Pillars. Time accelerates closer to the pillars, reaching at least 15,000 times normal flow in suitable cultivation locations. 180 182
- Flame Ice Domain — The region where forces from across the Cosmic Ocean assembled around the Tomb Ship and the Duan Dong He inheritance. 196
- Dark Expanse — A region exceeding one billion light-years in diameter that breeds World Beasts. Shen Mu judges its structure to be highly similar to a miniature universe. 224 231
Political Landscape
- The Eastern Emperor Holy Land and Purple Moon Holy Land are the two great Holy Land Universes. Their Ancestors are believed to have transcended the True God realm, allowing their universes to endure eternally. 178
- The Human Race, despite being a peak force within the Original Universe, is considered a comparatively new third-reincarnation-era power in the Cosmic Ocean. 178
- Relations among Original Universe races and Cosmic Ocean forces are interest-driven; cooperation and hostility both occur as circumstances change. 168
- The God-Eye Race is among the Cosmic Ocean's most formidable races, possessing seven existences comparable to Giant Axe Founder. 123
- After the Eastern Emperor Holy Land joined the Hong Alliance, more than 90% of the Cosmic Ocean's True Gods and forces became Alliance members. 209
Story Role
First Human Expeditions
Shen Mu and Luo Feng entered the Cosmic Ocean through the Toya Black Hole under Chaos City Lord's guidance. They were warned to protect the Human Race's maps and to avoid teleporting outside clearly marked regions. 177
Their first major destination was Qing Feng Realm, where the Hong Alliance maintained a stronghold for expeditions into the forbidden zones. 178
The Cosmic Boat Becomes Human Territory
Shen Mu explored the Cosmic Boat, acquired Jie Fanzi's map and token, and contributed the map to the Human Race. The map covered major outer and inner regions, including scarce core-area information where even True Gods could perish. 180
After obtaining the Cosmic Boat's highest control, Shen Mu gained authority over its space-time and could expel other forces from it. The Human Race consequently claimed the Cosmic Boat as its private territory. 195 196
Cosmic Ocean Alliance Conflict
The Eastern Emperor Holy Land, Purple Moon Holy Land, God-Eye Race, Bone Race, and other forces formed the Cosmic Ocean Alliance to seize the Duan Dong He inheritance from the Human Race. 196
At the Flame Ice Domain, Shen Mu, Luo Feng, Giant Axe Founder, and Mountain Seater confronted the alliance's gathered powerhouses. Shen Mu's displayed strength forced the Cosmic Ocean's major forces to reassess the balance of power. 196 197
Unification Under the Hong Alliance
Shen Mu offered the Eastern Emperor Ancestor an eternal-level inheritance in exchange for joining the Hong Alliance. The Eastern Emperor Holy Land's accession drove the effective unification of the Cosmic Ocean under Shen Mu's leadership. 209
The resulting era enabled powerhouses from formerly hostile forces to exchange knowledge, spar, and verify cultivation insights as members of the same alliance. 210
World Beast Calamity
The Dark Expanse's World Beasts became an existential threat to both the Cosmic Ocean and the Original Universe. Three True Gods—Zhen Jia King, Hao Lei Star Master, and Qiu Yan Ancestor God—were identified as World Beast lackeys seeking to subvert the Cosmic Ocean and destroy its life. 207
When World Beasts attacked miniature universes across the Cosmic Ocean, Shen Mu used his free Cosmic Ocean teleportation to respond immediately. He annihilated thousands of World Beasts at the Godeye Race's miniature universe and suppressed further attacks elsewhere. 227 229
Trivia
- The Cosmic Boat's Black Vein Stone Pillar Zone contains token spaces of black, cyan, and silver grades; silver-token locations are known only to the two Holy Land Universes. 182
- Traveling from the Cosmic Boat's inner regions back to the Original Universe can take more than 900 years, largely because teleportation is prohibited through much of the Cosmic Boat. 186
- The World Beast tide demonstrated that miniature universes—once considered near-perfect refuges for True Gods—could be directly destroyed. 229
