History
Pangu split Chaos, separating clear energy from turbid energy to form Heaven and Earth. As he sacrificed himself, his body became the world’s mountains, rivers, earth, plants, sun, and moon 96 108 601. Innate Spirit Springs appeared during the world’s formation, and its laws became stable enough to govern its newborn life 87 96.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans later struggled for dominance in the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. After their decline, the Witch and Yao races rose; their war devastated the land and contributed to the rise of the Human Clan 269 567. During that conflict, Gonggong struck Buzhou Mountain, breaking the heavenly pillar and causing the Heavenly River to flood the world 433 434 661. Houtu subsequently established the Six Paths of Reincarnation to give wandering remnant souls a destination 480 482.
Further calamities reshaped the realm’s factions. Hongjun preached balance, mutual aid, and territorial limits as principles for maintaining its order 347 362. Later, Lin Yue worked to restore Pangu while the Western Teachings’ collusion with Outer Realm Forces brought a new invasion threat 611 676 687. After awakening, Pangu joined the realm’s defenders against an Outer Realm demon army 659.
