Background / History
The Primordial World formed after Pangu split the heavens and Chaos evolved. After immeasurable development, the era of ferocious beasts ended and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans became its dominant powers. By the beginning of the story, the Dragon-Han Calamity is approaching its conclusion, calamity energy saturates heaven and earth, and most great beings have withdrawn into seclusion. 1
The world’s deeper origin is later revealed to be tied to the fallen Mythological Realm. When that realm shattered, innumerable Primordial Eras emerged; the Primordial World represents the vitality and potential return of that original mythological existence. 149
Dragon-Han Calamity
The Dragon-Han Calamity destabilizes the world through the conflict of the Three Tribes. Rather than allow the war to proceed as expected, Tang Xuan guides the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans toward a different outcome: the Phoenix and Kirin Clans submit to the Dragon Clan, and the Three Tribes create the Chaos Realm before withdrawing to suppress Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. 17 18 19
This outcome averts the intended destruction while creating an additional realm that strengthens the Primordial World’s origin. The Dragon-Han Era ends, giving way to the Hunyuan Age. 18 22
Reformation under the River God
Tang Xuan’s plans shift the world from isolated cultivation toward systemic expansion. He proposes Universal Creation, in which all beings create worlds of varying systems and styles, using Heavenly Dao merit as an incentive. 29
The mythological cultivation system is subsequently incorporated into the world’s rules. This causes a major rise in overall power, increases spiritual energy, and allows Great Dao rules to manifest more readily across the Primordial Era. 58 64
Over ten thousand years, countless cultivation systems spread through newly created worlds. The Primordial Continent gains hundreds of billions of Minor Thousand Worlds, more than ten billion Medium Thousand Worlds, and over three thousand Great Thousand Worlds as affiliated realms. 111
Conflict with the Gate of Taboo
The Gate of Taboo is a recurring existential threat to the Primordial World. It represents destruction and the End, originating from the negative aspects and failed ascension of the Mythological Realm. 149 151
Unlike many other Primordial Eras, this world openly resists and exploits the Gate of Taboo. Its beings become sufficiently accustomed to the Gate’s manifestations that its threats no longer provoke widespread panic. 90 121 156
The Primordial World’s forces later coordinate with the Realm of Mountains and Seas, Reincarnators from the Main God Space, and alternate Primordial figures against the Gate and its Taboo Lifeforms. 133 158 161
Appearance
The Primordial World is a vast ancient plane centered on the Primordial Continent. At its earliest depiction, a mist-veiled river near the East Sea reflects natural laws and profound light; later, the world expands into a multi-realm structure connected to Chaos and the Primordial Sea. 1 136
- Primordial Continent — the world’s central landmass and principal gathering place for its great powers. 1 17
- East Sea — a major region tied to Tang Xuan’s river body and the Dragon Clan’s early influence. 1 20
- Chaos — the surrounding expanse through which powerful beings, foreign realms, and spatial passages can be accessed. 48 108
- Affiliated worlds — Minor, Medium, and Great Thousand Worlds created and attached to the Primordial Continent. 111
- Primordial Sea — the broader source-region beneath which distinct Primordial Eras, the Main God Space, and the Realm of Mountains and Seas exist. 136
World Systems and Infrastructure
Cultivation Realms
The original cultivation hierarchy progresses through Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. Each realm has early, middle, late, and peak stages. 1
Mythological System
Hongjun introduces a six-realm mythological system: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Great Luo. Its foundation is the Mythological Dharma Idol, which harmonizes with the Great Dao and can draw upon the authority of the Three Thousand Great Daos. 58
Universal Creation
Universal Creation encourages beings to establish independent worlds and spread their own cultivation systems. These worlds feed back into the Primordial World, increasing its origin, power, and developmental potential. 29 98 111
Heavenly Dao Platform
The Heavenly Dao Platform supports simulated Primordial Eras, Calamity proposals, study, and voting. Beings may submit Calamities, while selected virtual eras can be evolved into reality. 100 111
Cultivation-System Rankings
Tang Xuan establishes High-tier and Low-tier Cultivation System Rankings. Ranking participants can receive rewards, and Low-tier systems may be promoted to the High-tier ranking. 96
Relationships
- Pangu — creator associated with the formation of the Primordial World; later nurtures his Origin through the Primordial Continent to restore his peak state. 1 159
- Tang Xuan / River God — primary reformer of the world’s fate, systems, affiliated realms, and multiversal development. 29 100
- Heavenly Dao — rule-based lifeform governing the world; increasingly cooperates with Tang Xuan’s plans and manages its development. 100 107
- Gate of Taboo — destructive adversary representing the End; seeks to infiltrate, suppress, and annex Primordial Eras. 102 151
- Realm of Mountains and Seas — connected realm whose deities regard resistance to the Gate of Taboo as their duty; later seeks cooperation with Primordial experts. 73 133
- Primordial Era No. 129,600 — a foreign Primordial Era heavily contaminated by the Gate of Taboo; the local Heavenly Dao is targeted for eventual takeover. 108 111
- Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans — early dominant factions whose Dragon-Han conflict reshapes the world’s political and elemental order. 1 17 19
Notable Facts
- The Primordial World’s spiritual energy is produced through Heavenly Dao’s conversion of Chaos Qi and Primordial Violetgas into refined energy usable by living beings. 102
- Its rapid expansion creates an energy burden: sustaining immense numbers of attached worlds, the Heavenly Dao Platform, and the continent itself can overload Heavenly Dao. 112
- Other Primordial Eras are not inherently allies; they compete for the opportunity to return to the Mythological Realm. 149
- The Gate of Taboo has already suppressed and annexed over one million Primordial Eras and is connected to nearly ten million more. 151
