Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Near Large World	271	Its level is described as infinitely close to a large world; its Heavenly Dao Origins are potent enough to substantially improve the smaller Chaos World.
Large World	497	Yin Empress and Yang Tianzi identify it as an unfamiliar Large World. Its fetal membrane is tougher than that of an ordinary Large World due to the Heaven Sustaining Array, though it contains exploitable flaws.
Top-tier World	518	After assimilating the Yin Yang Great World, its aura breaks through the upper limit of a Large World. Its inhabitants enter deep slumber as the world completes the upgrade.
Near-complete Only True Realm	595	The Pass Document resonates with worlds across Hongmeng and channels their origin power into the world, rapidly strengthening its barrier; the attempted final ascension remains short of completion.
Complete Only True Realm	706	It fixes its final imperfection and merges with Hongmeng’s three thousand Rivers of Laws, completing its ascension.

Background

Great God Pangu opened the Primordial World after being born from the Chaos Green Lotus. Following the creation of heaven and earth, Pangu became one with the world; all things within it are regarded as his descendants. 1 300

After Shen Ni’s demise, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans temporarily coexisted while dividing and digesting his legacy. Their eventual rivalry developed into major turmoil across the world. 1 57

Nuwa’s creation of 129,600 innate humans established the Human Race within the world and generated immense Great Dao Merit. A portion of this merit descended upon the Southern Ming Undying Volcano, linking the event to the Phoenix Clan. 216 217 The Human Race later spread throughout every corner of the world and became one of its foremost powers. 409

The Earthly Dao and Human Dao were originally suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, leaving most inhabitants unaware that the Three Ways existed. Ling Tian’s allies created the Nine Netherworld and later established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing residual souls to reincarnate and restoring the Earthly Dao. 318 323 387 388

Structure

Three Ways

The Primordial World possesses the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Unlike ordinary worlds, these three paths collectively function in a manner comparable to world authority. 318 496

• Heavenly Dao — once influenced by a demonic thought; that thought was eliminated alongside Hongjun’s fall. 494
• Earthly Dao — revived through Houtu, the Nine Netherworld, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 323 387 388
• Human Dao — associated with Nuwa and strengthened through the rise of the Human Race. 387 496

Regions and Components

• Buzhou Mountain — the original Heavenly Pillar and a central support of the world. Its decay threatened to expose the world’s coordinates during the Lich Tribulation. 347
• Four Extremes Heavenly Pillars — additional pillars established around Buzhou Mountain; together they form part of the world’s protective structure. 352
• Netherworld Blood Sea — formed from Pangu’s navel after the creation of heaven and earth; it is where the Nine Netherworld was established. 321 323
• Nine Netherworld — a growing small world created for reincarnation, with the Boundary River formed from Netherworld Blood Sea Water. 318 323 324
• Yin Yang Continent — the sixth continent, created when the Yin Yang Great World was flattened and assimilated into the Primordial World. 516 517

World Functions & Defenses

Fetal Membrane

The world is enclosed by a Xuanhuang-colored fetal membrane that serves as its primary barrier.

• The Heaven Sustaining Array made the membrane stronger than that of an ordinary Large World. 497
• Flaws in the membrane allowed Yin Empress and Yang Tianzi to enter the world. 497
• Under Pangu’s control, the barrier was raised to the standard of a Large World and its coordinates became more difficult to locate. 508
• During the conflict with the Immortal Emperor, the entire world shrank, progressively solidifying its membrane and reducing the effectiveness of outside attacks. 544

World-Protecting Great Array

Buzhou Mountain and the Four Extremes Heavenly Pillars generate Xuanhuang light that spreads across the world’s dome, giving its inhabitants a tangible sense of security. 352

• The array can be supported by the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Man. 496 523
• It was used to defend against descending Demon Gods, though its defensive nature led the invaders to underestimate it. 523
• The Chaos Seven Stars Array could merge with the Earthly Dao to contend with the Heavenly Dao. 387 389

World Origin

The world’s origin is intimately connected to its inhabitants and rewards them when the world advances. 518 604

• Absorbing the Yin Yang Great World released surging spiritual energy and Dao essence, causing widespread breakthroughs. 517
• A later elevation further strengthened the Foundations/Origins of its inhabitants and triggered another breakthrough frenzy. 602
• After prolonged refinement, over 60% of its beings reached Innate Being level, while the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and other former Supreme Grade Innate Beings advanced into Innate Demon Gods. 605

Pass Document Resonance

The Pass Document records traces of world origin gathered during the Journey to the West.

• When unfolded, it manifests a starry sky in which each star represents a world in Hongmeng. 595
• The represented worlds resonate with the document and channel origin power into the Primordial World. 595
• The resulting influx greatly strengthens the fetal membrane and supports the world’s approach toward the complete Only True Realm. 595 596

History

Exposure to Outer Worlds

Refinement of the Yin Yang World Suppressing Cauldron leaked its aura beyond the Primordial World. Yin Empress and Yang Tianzi traced the signal to the world’s region and recognized that locating it would allow them to seize both the cauldron and the world itself. 305 346

After Hongjun’s death, the Primordial World’s aura was exposed again. Its inhabitants learned that powerful outsiders were approaching, prompting world-wide preparations for war. 494 495 496

Yin Empress and Yang Tianzi eventually discovered the world’s fetal membrane, entered through its flaws, and found that it contained all Three Thousand Laws. This led them to suspect it might be the legendary Only True Realm. 497

Assimilation of the Yin Yang Great World

Ling Tian physically moved the Yin Yang Great World through Hongmeng and brought it to the Primordial World. 515

The incoming world flattened into the Yin Yang Continent and was assimilated through the combined power of the Three Ways and the Yin Yang World Suppressing Cauldron. 516 This merger enhanced the Primordial World’s foundation, enabled the growth of its World Tree, and prepared Pangu to reshape his physical body. 517

The resulting ascension elevated the Primordial World from a Large World into a top-tier world. 518

Disappearance and Reappearance

When the Immortal Emperor attacked, the Primordial World shrank until it vanished from Hongmeng’s perception, leaving behind a Five-Colored Divine Stone that carried its aura. 544

The world later reappeared behind a hidden formation. The Immortal Emperor located its barrier and prepared the Immortal Realm army for an assault. 589

Final Ascension

The Pass Document’s resonance with worlds throughout Hongmeng supplied vast quantities of origin power, allowing the Primordial World’s barrier and foundation to grow once again. 595

Ling Tian ultimately orchestrated the final upgrade: the world absorbed origin power from the myriad worlds, merged with Hongmeng’s three thousand Rivers of Laws, and ascended into the complete Only True Realm. 706
