Background / History
The Primordial World was opened from Chaos by Great God Pangu, who used the Sky Splitting Divine Axe to carve a new void from primordial Chaos Qi. Pangu expended his remaining strength to create and sustain the forming world after fighting the Chaos Demon Gods. 49 218
Despite its scale, the world was not completed as a genuine Great Thousand World. According to Youming, Pangu's body merged into the new world after creation, but Pangu's Heart was lost; without it, the world remained fundamentally incomplete and the Great Dao retreated. 340 341
The early world endured the Fierce Beast Tribulation, Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and Dao-Demon Conflict. In the aftermath, powerful cultivators were scarce: Daluo Golden Immortals were nearly nonexistent, while Hongjun was the sole Heavenly Dao Saint. 1
The Heavenly Dao emerged unusually early and later used Hongjun as its representative. Hongjun eventually merged with the Heavenly Dao, establishing the Mystic Gate and seeking to consolidate control over the world. 104 223
Houtu's establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation awakened the Earthly Dao, breaking the Heavenly Dao's exclusive control over the world. Nuwa's creation of the Human Race subsequently awakened the Human Dao, creating the three-Dao structure of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. 100 105
Cosmic Order
Heavenly Dao
The Heavenly Dao was the first Dao to awaken and initially controlled the entire Primordial World. Hongjun merged with it, becoming its principal representative and exerting pressure over all living beings. 104 152
- Hongjun's merger with the Dao established the Heavenly Dao faction and its Mystic Gate. 104
- The Heavenly Dao previously suppressed the Earthly Dao and Human Dao, contributing to the world's incomplete development. 4 152
- It can actively interfere with events, including blocking Xuanyuan's attempt to empower the newborn Mystic Tortoise. 223
Earthly Dao
The Earthly Dao arose when Houtu's Evil Corpse transformed into Reincarnation within the Netherworld Blood Sea. 100
- Its foundation is the Six Paths of Reincarnation: Heavenly, Human, Asura, Beast, Hungry Ghost, and Hell Paths. 100
- Houtu later completed the Earthly Dao and perfected Reincarnation, making all beings of the Primordial World subject to its cycle. 296
- The Earthly Dao produced Saints who contested the Heavenly Dao faction's dominance. 104
Human Dao
The Human Dao awakened upon the creation of the Human Race by Nuwa. 105 106
- Nuwa received Human Dao merit and entered the Saint Realm immediately after creating humanity. 106
- The Human Dao's strength depends on the Human Race's population and overall power. 280
- Its development is necessary for the three Daos to merge and reawaken the Great Dao. 280
Great Dao and World Origin Power
The Great Dao retreated after Pangu's incomplete creation, leaving the world unable to naturally produce the strength and number of experts found in true Great Thousand Worlds. 340 341
- The fusion of the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos could reawaken the Great Dao. 280
- World Origin Power is required to harmonize the three Daos, prevent collapse during their fusion, and elevate the world into a true Great Thousand World. 341
- World Origin Power can be obtained from World Fruits borne by World Trees in Chaos Domains. 378
- Pangu's Heart is identified as another necessary component for repairing the world's fundamental deficiency. 341
Known Features
- Buzhou Mountain — Former pillar supporting heaven and earth; its collapse during the Chaos Demon Gods' rampage caused a world-threatening catastrophe. 180
- Netherworld Blood Sea — A forbidden sea of malevolent energy and resentment that became the site of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 98 100
- Qianyuan Mountain — Xuanyuan's former residence, rich in Innate Spiritual Qi and protected by a Chaos Guardian Array; it later vanished without a trace. 1 457
- Pangu Temple — Ancestral land of the Witch Clan near Buzhou Mountain; it was later reduced to ruins, with the Witch Clan itself missing. 1 457
- Outer Heavens and Chaos Void — The boundary beyond the world, where Chaos Gales erode bodies and primordial spirits; entering safely requires at least Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation. 6
Major Crises
- Chaos Demon Gods — Surviving Chaos Demon Gods covet the Primordial World's recognition, believing it may allow them to restore themselves and pursue the Great Dao Realm. 152
- Dark Domain and Dark Night Clan — Youming's race seeks to seize World Origin Power, while the Dark Night Clan is considered powerful enough to leave the world's factions nearly unable to resist. 327 343
- Mount Sumeru Realm — A true Great Thousand World whose Buddhist forces entered the Primordial World through a passage opened with Jieyin and Zhunti's cooperation. 268 287 373
- Incomplete origin — The absent Pangu's Heart and insufficient World Origin Power make the merging of the three Daos extremely difficult and risk returning the world to Chaos. 340 341 422
- Great Change — After Xuanyuan's return from the Chaos Void, the world was ravaged by rebelling Chaos Demon Gods; Qianyuan Mountain, Pangu Temple, the Witch Clan, and several major figures had disappeared. 456 457
Relationships
- Great God Pangu — Creator; opened the Primordial World from Chaos and merged his body into it after exhausting his strength. 49 218 341

- Youming — Former enemy whose race attempted to seize the world's origin; later cooperates with Xuanyuan on a plan to repair its deficiencies. 327 341
- Chaos Demon Gods — Connected to the world's roots and therefore drawn to claim its recognition for their own advancement. 152
