Primordial Era

Biodata

Nature and Characteristics

• The Primordial Era is the only true space-time; the countless later space-times are described as false space-times created through the power of a supreme existence. 580
• It is the origin era of the Great Daos and the place capable of containing battles between Heaven and Earth Taboos. 579
• Its extent is immeasurable even to beings born within it, and most of its regions are sparsely inhabited. 579
• Great Dao manifestations—including stars, the Bright Moon, and the Great Sun—exist in their true forms throughout its Dao Realm rather than being controlled by the clans associated with those paths. 534
• Its duration is unknown. Even Lords of the Great Dao and the oldest Forbidden Beings may not know how long the Primordial Years lasted or what preceded them. 501
• A widely circulated theory holds that the Primordial Era’s Dao Realm was itself reorganized after an earlier Dao Realm was shattered. 565

Inhabitants and Powers

• The era produced the Lords of the Great Dao, the oldest Forbidden Beings, Heaven and Earth Taboos, and innumerable Great Dao powerhouses. 501 565
• The Star Clan, Xuan Yue Clan, Elf Clan, Human Race, Innate Spirits, Qian Kun Hall, Void Hall, and Destruction faction all possess roots or major forces within it. 557 593
• The Destruction faction maintained the Destruction Continent, an embodiment of the Destruction Great Dao and a residence of its Forbidden Beings. 533 535
• The era’s Heaven and Earth Taboos pursued the realm of Dao Without End, but even their acknowledged strongest member had not reached it. 588
• Beings from later space-times normally require at least the Space-Time Taboo realm to enter, and can bring only a limited number of others. 579

Access Across Time

• The Primordial Era can be reached through rare special passages, but it resists intruders with its own Great Dao power. 533 537
• Ordinary Forbidden Beings cannot safely traverse such a passage; a cultivator generally needs to have opened more than ten billion li on the Great Dao Path, unless using exceptional means. 547 550
• Cang Mang, Qiong Ying, and Guang Yuan forcibly opened a passage from the future by tearing through endless space-time. Qiong Ying stabilized it with Yin Yang power, allowing the three to enter. 532 533
• Their presence in the era was limited because they came from a future time segment and had to resist the suppression of the Primordial Era’s Great Daos. 535
• Later Forbidden Wars near a rift could draw Great Dao power from other timelines; the Primordial Era, as the strongest timeline, became the likely source needed to form another passage. 547

Reincarnation and Destruction

The era’s apparent destruction proved more complex than a conventional collapse. Star Dream theorized that the observed Primordial Era was either a constructed realm drawing on the true era’s power or one cycle in a larger Reincarnation process. 622 623

When the Lord of the Destruction Great Dao and future Heaven’s Gate members struck the observed era, their attacks damaged the Primordial Era itself without harming its inhabitants. The Reincarnation Great Dao then manifested as the era shattered, confirming that this version was tied to Reincarnation. 622

The beings within that cycle were returned to the true Primordial Era, where the Great Dao environment was clearer and stronger than in the reincarnated version. 623 624

Reincarnation later began a “new beginning” by destroying the Primordial Era again. Six Reincarnations shattered the entire era, leaving only Heaven’s Gate standing amid the void before Great Daos began manifesting from the resulting blankness. 635

Heaven’s Gate in the Primordial Era

• During the convergence of false space-times into the true era, Heaven’s Gate’s space-time was prioritized for transfer because of its exceptional status and future power. 589
• Lin Tian established Heaven’s Gate in a region selected by major Primordial Era powers and placed the sect high above the territory. 593
• After entering the true Primordial Era, Heaven’s Gate’s cultivation environment improved by at least a million times compared with its state in the false Dao Realm. 593
• The Star Clan and Xuan Yue Clan treated Heaven’s Gate as a peak force, hoping its future Dao Without End experts could reveal a path beyond the Heaven and Earth Taboo realm. 593
• The establishment drew representatives from the Star Clan, Xuan Yue Clan, Elf Clan, Human Race, Qian Kun Hall, Void Hall, and Innate Spirits. 593
