Origin and Formation
Pangu created the Primordial Wilderness by swinging the Sky-Opening Axe forty-nine times. The newborn world rapidly expanded by absorbing Chaos Qi, but its earth, fire, wind, and water remained violently unstable and threatened to collapse. 56
To complete and stabilize the world, Pangu sacrificed himself. His body transformed into its major features, including the Sun, Moon, rivers, clouds, and Mount Buzhou; his spiritual treasures also shattered into new treasures that helped support the realm. 56
Lin Tian named Pangu's new world the Great Desolation. Zi Yu later assessed it as a Half-step Eternal World, believing it could have become a complete Eternal World without the Great Dao's interference. 56 59
Heavenly Dao
The Heavenly Dao appeared after the world's creation. Its self-awareness originated when a strand of Pangu's merit and a drop of Pangu's essence blood merged into its nascent origin during the opening of heaven and earth. 56 522
The Heavenly Dao seeks to maintain the world's order and development. It regarded the Fierce Beasts' slaughter, corruption of Innate Qi, and disruption of balance as threats requiring elimination. 84

History
Early Era
The Primordial Wilderness was initially rich in Innate Qi but devoid of living beings. Hongjun became its first Innate Demon God after proclaiming his birth to heaven and earth, gaining Great Dao Merit and destiny; Rahula took form shortly afterward. 61
As life developed, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans rose above the myriad races. Their expanding influence divided the major regions of the Great Desolation among the Four Seas, the south, and the area around Buzhou Mountain. 82
Beast Calamity
The Fierce Beasts emerged from the resentment, hatred, and obsessions of Chaos Demon Gods killed during the World-Opening Tribulation. Their lingering wills combined with remnants of their bodies, producing creatures driven to destroy the Primordial Wilderness and restore Chaos. 77
Shen Ni united the Fierce Beasts in the far north, defeated Taotie, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Chaos, and proclaimed himself Beast Emperor. His stated objective was the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness and a return to Chaos. 79
The establishment of the Fierce Beast tribe and the resulting campaigns across the realm destabilized the world, prompting the Heavenly Dao to offer merit for killing Fierce Beasts. 83 84
Struggles for Supremacy
Conflict among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans spread across the Primordial Wilderness, causing widespread death and devastation. Rahula secretly intensified the conflict to gather malevolent energy at Sumeru Mountain. 133
Lin Tian interrupted the leaders' contest for dominance and advised them to establish separate territories and govern their own races. Yuan Feng, Prime Kirin, and Ancestral Dragon subsequently founded their clans and received Heavenly Dao Merit. 135
Dao-Demon Conflict
During Rahula's invasion, demonic energy and mass killing spread throughout the Primordial Wilderness. Lin Tian intervened to protect the western spiritual veins, intending to prevent the West from becoming a spiritually barren land. 164
Humanity and the Three Ways
Nuwa created the Human Race in the Primordial Wilderness and protected it from interference for one hundred thousand years. Her creation earned immense Heavenly Dao Merit. 267 268
The realm later came to be shaped by three primordial sources: the Heavenly Way, Earthly Way, and Human Way. All three manifested and contributed origin power during Pangu's rebirth. 524
