Background / History

The Human World was humanity’s original homeland and the place where humanity first began cultivating. In the distant past, it was the strongest of the Three Realms, while the Upper Realm and Underworld were still described as barbaric lands. The second Sacred Master later led Human World cultivators into those regions, opening them into separate realms and condensing their Origins. 351

Ten thousand years before the main story, the First Emperor led the Human World in the War to Slay Heaven. During this conflict, he declared that the Human World did not belong to Heaven and rejected the title of “Son of Heaven,” proclaiming that Heaven should not interfere with mortal affairs. 131

By the present era, the Human World has become weakened by declining spiritual energy and a decaying Origin. Ancient records suggest that the realm may once have been far vaster, with ancient emperors possessing at least Eleventh-Realm—and possibly Twelfth-Realm—cultivation. 225

Time Flow and Cultivation Environment

• Time passes far faster in the Human World than in the Upper Realm: one Upper Realm day equals one hundred Human World days. 269
• The Human World Pass follows the Upper Realm’s time flow rather than the Human World’s accelerated flow. 356
• Accelerated time alone does not solve the Human World’s cultivation crisis, because spiritual energy and cultivation resources had become scarce. 432
• The Ascension Technique can merge Upper Realm blessed lands into the Human World, smoothing the time-flow barrier and allowing Upper Realm Immortals to gain longevity there. 269
• The Upper Realm’s major powers seek the Human World not only for its time flow, but also because its decaying Origin could be exploited by experts seeking to surpass their limits. 387

Origin Will and Manifestations

The Human World Origin possesses sentience and can act through a distinct will. Its Origin Space is vast but ancient and deteriorated; its countless dim stars represent the realm’s Great Daos and Origin Stars. 387

Its will appears as an extremely old, hunched man with withered white hair, sunken black eyes, age-spotted skin, and an aura of decay. He acknowledges An Le as someone who repeatedly creates miracles, but fears that excessive Origin-energy feedback from stronger Human World cultivators will collapse his fragile existence. 387

Other manifestations include:

• A gigantic face within tribulation clouds, looking down upon cultivators and An Le. 384 405
• Origin avatars formed from lightning and condensed Origin power; one first-class avatar is defeated and absorbed by An Le. 384 385
• A Chaos Origin avatar deployed during An Le’s Eleventh-Realm tribulation. 331
• The Yuan Meng Emperor after his will is overwritten by Origin transformation. 336
• An Le’s Battle Puppet after it accepts the Human World Origin’s will, acting as a guardian with Half-Step Limit combat power. 410 412

Abilities & Functions

Origin Tribulations

The Human World Origin governs tribulations for breakthroughs within the realm.

• It produces destructive calamities for major advancement, including Twelfth-Realm tribulations. 263
• An Le’s breakthroughs receive unusually severe treatment, including a Chaos Origin avatar and self-destructive killing intent. 331
• After An Le helps multiple cultivators divert excess tribulation lightning, the Origin manifests an avatar to punish him for violating its rules. 384
• Following An Le’s agreement with its will, tribulations return to normal intensity and successful cultivators receive their proper rewards. 387 407

Origin Energy and Empowerment

The Origin can grant or reclaim refined Origin energy.

• It gives Lu Yishan a burst of pure energy, restoring him and raising his cultivation from Five-turn to Nine-turn. 387
• The birth of stronger Human World cultivators strengthens the Origin, though this requires it to invest Origin energy first. 332 333
• The death of powerful cultivators releases spiritual energy that can enrich the Human World; An Le supplies it with the remains and mental light of Half-Step Limit and Limit experts. 423

World Authority

The Origin’s influence extends to the Human World’s dragon veins, cultivators, and defenses.

• It can turn a person who absorbs all nine Dragon Vein Powers into its embodiment, overwriting that person’s will. 336
• Its will can descend through the Battle Puppet and directly oppose Upper Realm Sacred Masters inside the Human World. 410
• It supports An Le after his entry into the Twelfth Realm, making him a greater threat to Upper Realm and Underworld intruders. 412

Limitations

• The Origin is ancient, decayed, and unable to withstand unlimited feedback from an expanding population of powerful cultivators. 387
• Its spiritual-energy decline persists even after the Human World’s dragon veins are unified. 341
• Despite receiving enormous external energy, it cannot be fully repaired by spiritual-energy resurgence alone. 423 426
• The Saint Demon Emperor targets it because consuming a collapsing world’s power could aid the Emperor’s own breakthrough. 423

Relationships

• An Le — Initially an adversarial relationship during his Origin tribulations, later becomes a negotiated alliance. An Le agrees to provide pure energy from all Five Great Top-tier Origins after gathering them, in exchange for allowing Sacred Realm Token travel and normalized tribulations. 331 384 387
• Yuan Meng Emperor — Absorbs the nine Dragon Vein Powers and becomes an Origin embodiment; his will is completely overwritten, leaving him a puppet of the Human World Origin. 336
• Battle Puppet — Becomes the Origin’s physical guardian after merging with its will, allowing the Origin to manifest concrete combat power. 410 412
• Sacred Realm Origin — The Human World Origin reaches a practical arrangement alongside it, permitting two thousand Sacred Realm Token holders to travel between the two realms. 387
• Human World cultivators — Their breakthroughs ultimately strengthen the Origin, but their growing power also burdens its decayed structure with Origin-energy feedback. 332 387
• Saint Demon Clan — Seeks to invade the Human World and consume its Origin; the Saint Demon Emperor considers its collapsing state an opportunity for advancement. 423 432

Story Role / Major Arcs

Origin Tribulations and the Yuan Meng War

The Origin becomes directly involved in An Le’s advancement when it sends a Chaos Origin avatar during his Human World Origin tribulation. Later, it takes control of the Yuan Meng Emperor after he absorbs all nine Dragon Vein Powers, turning the emperor into an Origin embodiment before An Le defeats him. 331 336

Negotiation Over Sacred Realm Travel

When the Origin obstructs Human World cultivators from using Sacred Realm Tokens, An Le forcibly enters its Origin Space to confront its will. The two agree that two thousand cultivators may travel between the Human World and Sacred Realm; in return, An Le promises future Top-tier Origin energy once he gathers all five Top-tier Origins. 387

Revival of Human World Cultivation

An Le creates the Time Sea of Learning from the Wenqu Stele, allowing cultivators to strengthen their minds and advance more rapidly. He also supplies resources from the Upper Realm, Void Battlefield, and fallen Limit experts, beginning a period in which the Human World produces increasing numbers of Eleventh-Realm experts, Saints, and Half-Step Limit cultivators. 407 423 430 432

Final Stabilization

The Human World faces destruction when the Human World Pass is breached and the Saint Demon Emperor attacks. After An Le merges the Five Great Top-tier Origins and defeats the Saint Demon Emperor, the Emperor’s Origin replenishes the Human World Origin; the Upper Realm and Underworld are also subdued, allowing the Human World to enter a new period of prosperity. 441
