Natural Laws and Phenomena

Spiritual Energy

The Primordial World possesses unusually dense, fresh spiritual energy. Even an ordinary breath can carry energy particles and impose physical pressure on an uncultivated mortal. 1

• Plants, Demonic Beast flesh, earth veins, and spiritual treasures can contain or circulate spiritual energy. 3 25 204
• Spiritual energy can become unstable in regions scarred by ancient conflicts, where spatial fissures release residual violent currents. 31
• The courtyard at Buzhou Mountain contains an especially unusual concentration of spiritual vitality and Dao Resonance. 100 199

Heavenly Dao

The Heavenly Dao governs the world’s laws, fate, karma, calamities, and established trajectories. Dao Ancestor Hongjun increasingly merges with it over the course of the story. 197 208 215

• Its Law Chains can become visible when creation-level power disrupts the heavens. 103
• It detects deviations from the predetermined fate network, particularly Chen An’s anomalous spiritual light and other “variables.” 197 199 223
• It issues world-spanning decrees through Hongjun, including the summons to the Purple Heaven Palace lectures. 142 185 215
• It tacitly permits the emergence of the New Sprout because calamity, destruction, and rebirth are part of the world’s cycle. 235

Calamity Qi

Calamity Qi is a destructive force tied to conflict, fate, and the cycle of destruction and renewal.

• It accumulates during the uneasy peace between the Witch and Demon Tribes, despite their reduced open warfare. 175 176
• It spreads from Kunlun Mountain after the Witch-Demon Calamity and becomes linked to the emerging “Way of Variables.” 231
• Its recession after the great war allows the land and its living beings to begin recovering. 224
• Later manifestations of the New Sprout and the “change” talisman indicate that future calamities remain unavoidable. 235

History

Early Primordial Era

The world is portrayed as a vast, ancient wilderness inhabited by Demonic Beasts, intelligent races, cultivators, gods, demons, and powerful tribal factions. Its forests contain immense trees and unfamiliar life, while dangerous creatures and distant battles make survival difficult for mortals. 1 4

Ancient conflicts left permanent scars across the land. Divine-beast corpses once fell from the heavens, their blood essence soaked into mountains and rivers, and some regions retained unstable spiritual energy and spatial fissures long afterward. 31

Chen An’s Arrival and the Hidden Courtyard

Chen An arrives in the Primordial World after a laboratory explosion and discovers a ruined courtyard in a valley. The courtyard becomes an Absolute Safe Zone, protecting him from external malicious attacks, environmental extremes, and outside pressure. 1 5

Although inconspicuous from within, the courtyard is later recognized by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as an astonishing great array. Its pine tree, spring water, stone table, plants, and other ordinary-looking objects carry extraordinary Dao charms. 199

The courtyard’s existence repeatedly affects the wider world without Chen An’s awareness. Its barrier blocks the divine senses and hostile intent of powerful beings, nullifying a torrent of spiritual perception that could otherwise destroy stars and void alike. 112

Yang Mei’s Transformation

A transformation centered on the courtyard’s willow tree releases Chaos Dao Charm across the world. The event affects the Thirty-Three Heavens, Nine Netherworlds, North Sea, Witch Tribe, Demon Tribe, and major cultivators simultaneously. 62 66

Attempts to deduce the source are blocked by a Chaos barrier. The great powers receive the same prophecy:

“A Chaos God and Demon born from humble beginnings, at the foothills of Buzhou Mountain lies the Hidden Sage’s gate.” 66

This incident establishes the foothills of Buzhou Mountain as a focal point of worldwide attention and fear. 66 67

Creation of the Human Race

Chen An’s crude clay figurine, the courtyard willow’s vitality, and Nuwa’s realization of creation become connected in the birth of humanity. Nuwa identifies the figurine as a blueprint containing latent divinity and uses Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, creation power, and her own blood to grant life. 94 102 104 106

The first human awakens and addresses Nuwa as “Mother.” Nuwa then creates more humans, beginning the Human Race and a new era in the Primordial World. 107

Nuwa’s attainment of the Primordial Sage Dao Fruit causes all living beings to submit to her sacred might. Her gratitude toward the “Little Yard Teacher” sends shockwaves through the world and intensifies the search for Chen An’s courtyard. 109 112

Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s Lectures

Hongjun’s lectures at Purple Heaven Palace gather the world’s greatest beings, including the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Witch and Demon leaders, Western Daoists, and other ancient powers. 145 189

• The first lecture establishes Purple Heaven Palace as a center for the transmission of the Great Dao. 145 146
• The second lecture announces the Dao of the Quasi-Saint and draws qualified beings from across the world. 185 189
• The final lecture addresses calamity, life, the Heavenly Dao cycle, and the future Sage Path. 215
• Hongjun’s increasing union with the Heavenly Dao reveals that the world’s fate network has deviated from its expected trajectory. 197 198

Witch-Demon Calamity

The Witch and Demon Tribes eventually begin their final conflict. Di Jun activates the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, while the Ancestor Witches draw upon Pangu Hall, their bloodline, and Buzhou Mountain’s power. 217

The battle causes catastrophic damage:

• Buzhou Mountain’s spine is transformed into the Heaven-Opening Halberd. 217 218
• The Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation and its three hundred and sixty star banners are destroyed. 218
• The Chaos Bell shatters completely, scattering destructive fragments across the world. 218
• Buzhou Mountain collapses, overturning the world’s Heaven-and-Earth structure. 218
• The Heavenly River reverses, stars are annihilated, and earthfire, weak water, and turbid malevolence ravage the land. 218 220

Reincarnation and Recovery

After the calamity leaves the world fractured and poisoned by earthfire, resentment, and collapsing Earth Veins, Houtu sacrifices her physical body to establish Reincarnation. Her act creates the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and the Netherworld, while her spirit becomes Pingxin, Sage of Reincarnation. 220

As Calamity Qi recedes, green life returns to the scorched land. The Three Sovereigns—Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan—begin guiding humanity through divination, herbal knowledge, and forging. 224

The major Sage lineages subsequently establish their teachings across the recovering world: Human Teachings, Order Teachings, Freedom Teachings, and Western Buddhist Teachings. Their converging fortune foreshadows another future calamity. 225

Inhabitants and Major Forces

• Human Race — Created by Nuwa from Breathing Soil and Sage Blood; their birth begins a new era for the world. 107
• Witch Tribe — A powerful race connected to Pangu’s essence blood, Earth Veins, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches. 66 204
• Demon Tribe — A major celestial power led by Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi; it relies on formations, star power, and territorial expansion. 169 217
• Sages and future Sages — Beings such as Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and the Western Daoists shape the world through Dao lineages, fate, and calamity. 112 215 225
• Demonic Beasts and ancient creatures — Dangerous lifeforms occupying the wilderness beyond settled territories and safe zones. 1 3
• Remnant souls and Netherworld beings — Souls affected by the Witch-Demon Calamity gain a destination through Reincarnation, the Netherworld, and later Carefree Heaven. 220 226
