History

Demon Realm Incursions

A Demon Realm cultivator forcefully entered the Celestial Realm through the Southern Ying Immortal Domain's Ascension Immortal Gate, prompting its guards to sound the Heavenly Gate Bell. 127

Over a century after the previous War of Immortals and Demons, Ning Yechen led a large Demon Realm force into all nine Immortal Domains. Although the invasion caused widespread alarm, he declared that he had come only to settle a personal matter and would not attack those who did not obstruct him. 235 237

Divine Realm Takeover

The Creation God ordered Jian Xin and Xing Huan to command the Celestial Realm to attack the Demon Realm. Tianshu Xiu opposed the order, fearing that another conflict would serve the Divine Realm's hidden interests rather than protect the Celestial Realm. 410 412

Tianshu Xiu resisted with his Absolute Immortal Domain: Heavenly Chessboard, using the entire Celestial Realm as a chessboard. Jian Xin and Xing Huan defeated him, seized the Judgment Divine Hall, and proclaimed a campaign against the Demon Realm in the Divine Realm's name. 413

Immortal-Demon War

Celestial Realm immortals descended upon the Demon Realm during its celebration, launching a surprise assault alongside Divine Realm forces. 435 437

The invasion ended in a severe defeat: tens of thousands of Celestial Realm immortals were killed or captured, while several major sects and families chose not to intervene out of fear of Ning Yechen's retaliation. 470

Chaos Catastrophe

Chaos descended upon the Celestial Realm while many of its strongest cultivators were absent. Chaos Beasts ravaged its lands, destroyed immortal palaces, and eroded its Heavenly Dao laws. 482 494

Tianshu Xiu maintained realm-wide barriers with the Heavenly Chessboard and temporarily sealed a void rift with a chess piece. The seal was shattered when thousand-foot Chaos Beasts, each at least Celestial Emperor level, emerged from the rift. 494 495

With the Divine Realm refusing to intervene, Tianshu Xiu considered evacuation but remained behind with other patriarchs to defend their home. 495 496

Conquest and Submission

Demon Realm armies arrived amid the Chaos invasion, destroyed the Chaos forces, and announced that the Celestial Realm was already the Demon Lord's possession. 496 498

After Ning Yechen issued an ultimatum, the Celestial Realm's people submitted under the pressure of his Spiritual Power. Tianshu Xiu initially remained standing to seek assurances for the realm's future, then swore allegiance after Ning Yechen promised to preserve its officials and daily order. 500 501

“Everything in the Celestial Realm will continue as before.” — Ning Yechen, after the realm's submission 501

Relationships

• Demon Realm — Historic rival and recurring military adversary; ultimately became the Celestial Realm's ruling power after repelling Chaos. 235 496 501
• Divine Realm — Former superior authority that issued commands through Jian Xin and Xing Huan; its manipulation of the Celestial Realm's war effort led to Tianshu Xiu's resistance. 410 413
• Human Realm — Lower plane whose cultivators may ascend to the Celestial Realm through an Ascension Immortal Gate. 176
• Chaos Realm — Source of the Chaos invasion that devastated the Celestial Realm and eroded its Heavenly Dao laws. 482 494

Trivia

• The Heavenly Gate Bell is sounded across all nine Immortal Domains only in exceptional emergencies; before the Demon Realm's return, it had last rung realm-wide during the prior War of Immortals and Demons. 235
• The Celestial Realm's defeat and Chaos crisis ultimately made the Demon Realm appear to many inhabitants as their only possible refuge. 495
