Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Potential peak Great Thousand plane | 98 | Di Jun questions why a world formed from Pangu and the origins of numerous Chaos Demon Gods would possess only the potential to reach the peak Great Thousand level. 98 |
| Top-tier Great Thousand plane | 139 | The continent advances, producing an immortal origin, immortal aura, enhanced Innate Spiritual Qi, Dao imprints, and newly evolved blessed lands and treasures. 139 |
| Stabilized toward semi-immortal level | 205 | The extraction of main-world territory destabilizes its rank, but the Mythological Seal restores order, securing its top-tier Great Thousand status and showing signs of returning to semi-immortal level. 205 |
Cosmology and Structure
- Origin: Pangu opened the world using his own origin and the stripped origins of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. The surviving Demon Gods’ missing origins remain hidden within the continent. 98 137
- Heavenly Dao: The Heavenly Dao is the aggregate of the continent’s Great Dao, rules, energy, and matter; it is central to the plane’s operation but is not its sole controller. 121 150
- Core landmarks: Mount Buzhou acts as a stabilizing presence during catastrophic conflict, while Guixu contains dangerous hidden spaces such as the one that revealed the Enlightenment Tea Tree. 36 177
- Four Seas: The continent’s oceanic regions include the East Sea and North Sea, the latter being Kunpeng’s domain. 31
- Pre-reorganization dependencies: The plane was linked to 129,800 affiliated lower realms and nearly one million worlds of varying sizes, including worlds attached to or contained within its crystal walls. 150
- Reorganized hierarchy: Di Jun later restructures its surrounding cosmology into three thousand great worlds, myriad middle worlds, and billions of small worlds centered on and revering the Primordial Continent. 205
- Earth: A small world named Earth is born on the outermost periphery. Its core rule is the Star Dao, and it contains a Human Race territory and a trace of Human Dao authority. 205
History
Creation and concealed origins
Pangu created the Primordial Continent from his own origin and the origins taken from the Chaos Demon Gods. Although figures such as Shi Chen and Yang Mei escaped Pangu’s creation, their incomplete origins were left inside the continent; recovering them becomes the Chaos Demon Gods’ primary reason for plotting against it. 98 137
The continent’s concealed foundation becomes a central point of conflict between the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, the Chaos Demon Gods, and Di Jun. Hongjun regards it as his chessboard as the Heavenly Dao’s spokesperson, while Di Jun eventually consolidates and controls the continent through the Mythological System. 26 137
Battles and Great Tribulation
The Heavenly Court’s war against the Purple Mansion spreads across the continent, drawing the attention of its great powers and marking an epochal struggle for Primordial hegemony. The convergence of powerful beings causes Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire to erupt, with worlds forming amid the clash. 24
During the Immeasurable Great Tribulation, the Three Disasters of lightning, wind, and fire devastate the continent. More than a hundred million jing beings perish, over ten quadrillion gai are severely injured, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation becomes strained by the influx of divine souls. 159 160
The catastrophe spreads beyond the main world: lower realms and subsidiary worlds also generate Karmic Tribulation Qi, while more than one hundred trillion worlds fall into war. 160
When the Heavenly Dao moves to destroy the world, it identifies the Primordial Continent as the foundation and root of its domain. It intends to preserve the core continent while annihilating its affiliated worlds and inhabitants for origin. 150
Near-collapse and preservation
Conflict involving the Chaos Demon Gods, Pangu’s will, and the Three Thousand Great Daos nearly shatters the Primordial Continent. Mountains and rivers collapse, the universe fractures, and the Main World’s instability spreads through the wider Primordial Plane. 174
Despite this devastation, the continent remains stable beneath Mount Buzhou’s divine light while the surrounding Chaos suffers severe disruption. 177
Mythological consolidation
Di Jun’s control over the continent becomes explicit after he unifies its structure and makes it the effective territory of the Heavenly Court. Reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods must cultivate within the Primordial Continent and remain subject to its order. 137 141
The continent ascends to a top-tier Great Thousand plane, generating immortal-level characteristics. During this transformation, Di Jun temporarily replaces its Great Daos with a Book rune containing information on other versions of the Great Desolation across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. 139
After Hongjun and other Primordial giants depart for the Sovereign Space, Di Jun seals the plane and freezes the avatars they leave behind, placing its remaining order under the Heavenly Court’s officials. 190
Reorganization into the Great Desolation All Heavens
Di Jun strips sections of the continent’s main world and transforms them into worlds and universes, initially threatening its rank and stability. He then uses the Mythological Seal—the core of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty—to connect crystal walls, gather its Daos, and stabilize the plane’s order. 205
The resulting structure establishes the Primordial Continent as the core and source of a renewed cosmology, with its surrounding worlds forming a hierarchy beneath its Mythological foundation. 205
