Background / History

The Dihuan Realm was originally a prosperous Middle Thousand Realm whose long-term stability rested on an order jointly maintained by its Hegemon-level Forces. These powers restricted destructive exploitation of spirit veins, punished violators collectively, and deliberately left broad neutral regions between their territories for ambitious forces to develop. Cultivators who ascended were expected to repay the realm’s karma by aiding its development. 39

Its conflict with the Azure Devil Realm began as a prolonged confrontation on the Outer Realm Battlefield. After ten thousand years of struggle, the battlefield had grown to the size of a Dihuan Realm region and contained substantial Origin Power and natural treasures. 51 52

The conflict escalated when the Azure Devil Race invaded nine affiliated Lesser Thousand Realms, transforming five into Demon Realms and leaving only isolated human strongholds in others. The Dihuan Realm Alliance responded by dispatching forces, reinforcing city formations, and adopting the “Divide and Conquer” strategy to destroy spirit veins and seize their sources within occupied worlds. 103 105

As the two main realms approached one another, their border regions fused into a new and lethal battlefield. The collision manifested Great Dao Laws and Profound Meaning Rules, temporarily creating a period of widespread enlightenment rather than immediate full-scale war. 435 437

The Dihuan Realm later accelerated its own advancement by destroying wormhole passages, integrating affiliated lower realms, conquering nearby devil realms, and promoting the Blessed Cultivator legacy. These measures strengthened its foundation while competing directly with the Azure Devil Realm for promotion to a Great Thousand Realm. 585 587 589

Following its ascension, the Dihuan Realm eventually defeated and absorbed the Azure Devil Realm with the support of Ye Qingxuan and the Human Race Immortal Kings. 878 879

Governance and Order

• Hegemon-level Forces — Maintain broad order, establish rules for regional competition, and jointly punish violations involving destructive exploitation of spirit veins. 39
• Dihuan Realm Alliance — Coalition formed by major forces to coordinate resistance against the Azure Devil Realm, manage wartime plans, distribute rewards, and oversee cross-realm operations. 103 587
• Sub-alliances — Established in the Outer Four Domains to unite local cultivators and execute alliance decisions during the Azure Devil invasion. 587
• Spirit vein protection — Destroying or exploitatively damaging spirit veins of any tier is forbidden under the realm’s central iron law. 39
• Development model — Hegemon-level Forces do not seek total territorial control; they preserve room for lesser powers to grow, which is presented as a foundation of the realm’s long-term prosperity. 579 625

Geography

Original regional structure

The realm was divided into the Inner Five Domains and Outer Four Domains, with the Endless Sea Domain surrounding them.

• Inner Five Domains — Central, Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains. 718
• Outer Four Domains — East Extremity, South Barbarian, West Wilderness, and North Li Domains. 587 718
• Endless Sea Domain — A vast maritime region whose islands and continents expanded dramatically during the realm’s promotion. 713 718

Post-promotion expansion

• During its early promotion, the realm’s area increased roughly fivefold, and nearly thirty new continents emerged within the Endless Sea Domain. 718
• Continued Nirvana cycles made the realm so vast that even Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators found travel between cities and prefectures difficult. 786
• After becoming a Great Thousand Realm, its territory increased by nearly a hundred thousand times compared with its earlier state. 834
• Tens of millions of years later, the Endless Sea Domain contained hundreds of super-great domains, each comparable to the former Inner and Outer Domains; each had a diameter of roughly one million light years. 1146
• A vast starry sky and massive celestial bodies evolved above the surface world. 1146

Heaven and Earth Rules

Pre-Heavenly Dao rules

Before its ascension, the realm’s Heaven and Earth Rules operated instinctively. They maintained existing order but could not proactively respond to threats or directly communicate with living beings. 444 848

Its rules strengthened through conflict with the Azure Devil Realm, eventually becoming capable of:

• Removing backlash curses from cultivators who contributed to conquering enemy Lesser Thousand Realms. 603
• Granting Living Being Destiny, which improves fortune within the realm and grants protection from its Heaven and Earth Rules. 603
• Manifesting Great Dao Laws and Profound Meaning Rules during the two realms’ collision. 437

Nascent Heavenly Dao

Upon promotion to a Great Thousand Realm, a Nascent Heavenly Dao was born. It granted a hundred years of fortune to living beings and began refining the realm’s operational rules. 833 834

The Heavenly Dao later developed systems and authorities including:

• Heavenly Dao Merit — Awarded for fighting enemies of the realm; can offset Karmic Obstacles, improve cultivation, and aid Dao comprehension. 857
• Way of Destiny — Refined to the point that collective destinies of major powers could produce Destiny Spirits capable of defending their forces’ bases. 869
• Reincarnation system — A Yin Realm formed beneath the surface world and eventually became a separate dimension responsible for the realm’s cycle of reincarnation. 869 1146
• Heavenly Dao suppression — Increased alongside the realm’s growth, greatly reducing the mobility and destructive power of lower-level cultivators. 774 780

Cultivation Environment

• The realm’s protected spirit veins steadily produced more resources and stronger cultivators over successive generations. 579 625
• During the Second Nirvana Period, fading Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy revived rapidly; several Tier Nine Peak spirit veins advanced to Tier Ten, while the Tier Ten vein on Xuantian Peak became a Low-grade Immortal Vein. 774
• Its increased suppression made early- and mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators unable to fly, while late-stage Qi Refining cultivators could only briefly glide with artifacts. 774
• After ascension, the Human Race became the realm’s Destined Race due to its population and contribution to the realm’s promotion. 834
• Blessed Cultivators contributed to the realm’s growth by opening Cave Heaven Blessed Lands that absorbed and transformed Chaos Sea energy. 869
• Low- and mid-level Alchemy, Artifact, Formation, and Talisman paths were later improved by True Immortal Realm experts to strengthen Human Race combat ability in the Two Realms War. 869

Major Conflicts

Outer Realm Battlefield

The Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm remained deadlocked on the Outer Realm Battlefield for ten thousand years. Though battles occurred, both sides initially kept the conflict within a controllable range. 51 52

Invasion of the affiliated worlds

The Azure Devil Race invaded nine Dihuan Realm-affiliated Lesser Thousand Realms, transforming most of them into Demon Realms. The Dihuan Realm’s counteroffensive focused on holding fortified cities while infiltrators disrupted enemy spirit veins and sources. 105

Two Realms War

When the Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm became adjacent, wormhole passages enabled widespread raids and invasions. Remote regions and the Outer Four Domains suffered severe local instability, while both sides simultaneously attacked the other’s territory. 436 459

The Dihuan Realm Alliance responded through three coordinated policies:

1. Destroying or sealing Two Realms Wormhole Passages.
2. Merging affiliated lower realms into the Dihuan Realm.
3. Promoting the Blessed Cultivator legacy across the realm. 587

Final battle and annexation

After both realms had ascended to Great Thousand Realms, outside Immortal Kings contested the Dihuan Realm’s ownership. War zones were created along the expanded border to separate combatants by cultivation level. 846 851

Ye Qingxuan later entered the Azure Devil Realm, while Void Source King and seven other Human Race Immortal Kings assisted the Dihuan Realm Heavenly Dao in suppressing its rival. The Dihuan Realm ultimately absorbed the Azure Devil Realm. 878 879

Notable Characteristics

• The realm’s historical prosperity is attributed to regulated development rather than unchecked resource plunder. 39 625
• Its immense expansion repeatedly made distant regions isolated from major powers and difficult to govern. 714 786 834
• It remained sparsely populated relative to its territory despite its increasingly rich spiritual energy and resources. 786
• Its Human Race civilization became dominant after the realm’s ascension, though its territory later drew the attention of outside Great Thousand Realms and alien races. 834 846 1126
• Ye Qingxuan left behind Great Dao Power after his ascension to conceal the realm’s karma and temporarily deter outside intrusion. 887
