| Name | Abyss (深渊) |
| Status | Active 609 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 1 |
Structure and Environment
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Sky | The Abyss has no sun; a blood-red crescent moon hangs above its ancient, vast lands. 1 |
| Layers | It consists of many layers connected through Abyssal Ravines. Individual layers can collide with ravines, descend, and detach to establish territory elsewhere. 2 182 |
| Depth | Abyss Energy becomes more concentrated at greater depths, but descending through the ravines becomes increasingly dangerous—even Demon Gods may be unable to survive certain hazards. 182 |
| Upper and middle layers | Ordinary Abyssal creatures primarily inhabit the upper-middle layers. These areas are comparatively suitable for weaker blackened Protagonists and Villains to hunt and develop. 348 350 |
| Lower layers | The lower Abyss is the domain of Demon Gods; ordinary demons generally do not dare enter it. More powerful Demon Gods reside deeper within the Abyss. 348 447 |
| Demon God Mountain | Located at the Abyss's deepest point, Demon God Mountain is an immense, indestructible landmark. Law-grade Demon Gods challenge it for status, Abyssal Favor, and Blessing. Those who inscribe their names can rapidly teleport to their inscribed position while inside the Abyss. 447 |
| Scale | The size of individual layers and the total number of Abyssal creatures are unknown. Even a single Dynasty War can involve hundreds of millions of combatants. 446 510 |
Abyss Energy and Resources
Abyss Energy
Abyss Energy is a chaotic power fundamentally opposed to the power of the Celestial Realm. Contact can contaminate a Celestial God's divine power and divinity; prolonged exposure may corrupt a god into an Abyssal Demon God and cause loss of self. 172 191 250
- The concentration of Abyss Energy increases with depth. 182
- Dark-attributed power is similar to Abyss Energy, but similarity does not make it safe to fuse; the Dark Moon Goddess nearly fell after using it. 167 172
- The spread of Demonic Energy from the Abyss into the Celestial Realm weakens the latter's suppression of invading Demon Gods. 531
Magic Stones
Magic Stones are crystallizations of Abyss Energy and a central cause of internal Abyssal warfare. 2
- They are used to increase the number of succubi and strengthen their ruler. 2
- Resource-rich regions, such as Flint Abyss, are contested by Demon Dynasties. 2 123
- Members of the Evil Alliance submit Magic Stones or other treasures in exchange for protection. 472
Inhabitants and Society
| Group | Role in the Abyss |
|---|---|
| Abyssal creatures | Numerous non-divine creatures that populate the upper and middle layers; they are often used as cannon fodder in large-scale wars. 348 510 |
| Demons | Demonic inhabitants organized under various powers, including Demon Dynasties. 182 510 |
| Demon Gods | Powerful beings concentrated in the lower Abyss. They can appear freely, unlike Celestial Gods constrained by descent restrictions. 76 348 |
| Abyss Sovereigns | Sovereign-grade powers that coordinate large-scale mobilizations, negotiate with forbidden zones, and make strategic decisions for the Abyss. 494 506 508 |
| Demon Dynasties | Territorial military powers that wage wars over land and Magic Stone deposits. 2 117 |
| Blackened Protagonists and Villains | Outsiders whose cheats have shifted toward Abyssal Power. Their rapid growth eventually causes the Sovereigns to view them as a potential threat to control of the Abyss. 346 555 577 |
Rule by Strength
The Abyss operates by naked power rather than restraint or reputation. Demon Gods respect assertiveness and regard excessive politeness as weakness; “might makes right” is its prevailing principle. 76 274
- Demon Gods can emerge at will and devastate weaker creatures when displeased. 348
- Even a stray attack from a Demon God can instantly kill lesser beings. 348
- Demon God Mountain serves as a public measure of a Demon God's strength and prestige. 447
Blackening and Outer Realm Demons
The Blackening Option became available after the first Villain reached the Celestial Realm. It allows Protagonists and Villains to spend points to alter their cheats so that future rewards lean toward Abyssal Power. 346
- Blackened cheats may provide Demon Blood, conversion of one's existing power, and coordinates for Abyssal Passages. 346
- The process is irreversible. Protagonists may blacken on credit, while Villains must pay three times the required Villain Points. 346
- Many weaker entrants develop by killing Abyssal creatures for attribute rewards, skill points, experience, and treasures. 349 350
- The upper layers offer comparatively manageable prey, though the Abyss remains dangerous overall. 350
- As knowledge of the Abyss spread through livestreams and forum guides, blackening became increasingly common. 365 368
- The Abyss Sovereigns later identify these rapidly growing outsiders as “Outer Realm Demons” and fear that they could eventually overturn the Abyss itself. 555 577
