Origin Continent

Biodata

Nature and Scale

• The Origin Continent is the core essence of its Source World. Its abundant energy allows native lifeforms to naturally reach the True God level upon adulthood. 143
• It spans approximately one hundred quintillion light-years. Wu Yun and an avatar were separated by at least tens of quadrillions of light-years after arriving in different regions. 143
• Its time flow differs from that of the Universe Ocean. 129
• The continent’s materials are extraordinarily dense: an ordinary stone from its ground would be a rare treasure in the Universe Ocean, surpassing hundreds of millions of stars in value. 200
• Vastness and environmental suppression make long-distance logistics difficult; Yanfeng Hall relies on manual transport for goods. 155

Laws and Cultivation

Source World Restrictions

• The Source World’s rules bind every cultivation system—including Witchcraft, Ancient Cultivator, Strongest Warrior, and Devouring systems—to the development of a cultivator’s miniature universe. 129
• Without a miniature universe, accumulated energy cannot produce a true evolution; if a True God’s miniature universe collapses, further advancement becomes impossible. 129
• God Kings can use Reincarnation to escape death, making it exceptionally difficult to kill one before reincarnation unless an Emperor Lord or similarly exceptional powerhouse intervenes. 135

Dao and Bloodline Paths

• The continent’s native cultivation system emphasizes energy, including massive divine bodies and Perfect Divine Bodies, which can produce a qualitative increase in a True God’s combat power. 103
• Hunyuan bloodlines were widely used to rapidly strengthen Chaos Realm cultivators and God Kings, but they contaminated the cultivator’s Dao and imposed a hard limit on future growth. 223
• After taking authority over the continent, Wu Yun prohibited the spread of Hunyuan bloodlines and required cultivators to follow Dao comprehension instead. 223

Geography

Dark Deserts

Dark Deserts are energy-barren regions where the ground is cracked, vegetation is absent, and local life cannot benefit from the continent’s normally abundant energy. They are rare; Wu Yun was informed that only two or three nations possess such deserts. 143

Major Locations

• Thunder Mountain — Stronghold of Thunder Ancestor and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. It remained standing after the kingdom’s dissolution. 197 223
• Fire Ancestor Realm — A realm established by Fire Ancestor to shelter weak lifeforms from the continent’s violent environment. 165
• Dream Domain — A dangerous treasure ground left behind by Yuan, formed from a World-Level Hunyuan corpse. Its dark core requires God Emperor-level will to enter. 202 203
• Sky Pillar Realm — Another of Yuan’s treasure grounds on the Origin Continent, likewise formed from a World-Level Hunyuan corpse. 203
• Hong River City — Capital of Wu Yun’s Zither Sound Kingdom. He expanded it into a city spanning ten trillion kilometers. 200

Society and Political Conditions

• True Gods, rare in the Universe Ocean, are common across the Origin Continent. 138
• The continent was historically divided among ancient kingdoms, first-rate kingdoms, sects, and independent factions. The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and Thunder Ancient Kingdom were its two major ancient kingdoms. 200 222
• Robberies, massacres, and the killing of weaker cultivators were routine. Powerful figures often protected descendants and subordinates regardless of their actions. 140 165
• Before Wu Yun’s reforms, Chaos Realm cultivators and God Kings who cultivated Hunyuan bloodlines could devour living beings to excavate their bloodline potential. 165 223
• Fire Ancestor’s realm was one of the few places explicitly devoted to protecting weaker inhabitants. 165

History

Era of Divided Kingdoms

The Origin Continent was dominated by competing powers, including the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Myriad Realms Kingdom, Heavenly Wood Kingdom, Life Mother River, Space-Time Ark, and Shadow Heavenly Realm. Ancient Kingdoms controlled extensive resources and inheritances, forcing many Chaos Realm experts and God Kings into their service. 154 165 200

Founding of Zither Sound Kingdom

After cultivating across the continent for three billion years, Wu Yun seized territory from the Heavenly Wood Kingdom and Myriad Realms Kingdom to establish the Zither Sound Kingdom. World Beast A Yu confronted him on behalf of Heavenly Wood Kingdom, but the kingdom ultimately yielded territory; the Myriad Realms Kingdom Lord chose not to intervene. 199

Wu Yun established Hong River City as the kingdom’s capital and expanded it to ten trillion kilometers. The rise of this new first-rate power drew the attention of kingdoms across the continent. 200

Unification Under the Zither Melody Empire

After becoming a half-@@REF_ENTITY_11361622@@ Dao comprehender, Wu Yun compelled the ancient kingdoms and major rulers to submit. Flamewind Ancestor was the first major ruler to surrender his territories. 221 222

Wu Yun declared that the divided political order would end and that the continent would have only one supreme authority: the Zither Melody Empire. Existing factions were permitted to remain as sects, but had to accept imperial jurisdiction. 222 223

• The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom was dissolved and absorbed into the empire. 223
• The Thunder Ancient Kingdom was dismantled, with its cities and legions incorporated under the new order. 223
• Wu Yun killed Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to settle Guixu Emperor Lord’s blood feud. 223
• Hunyuan bloodline cultivation was outlawed throughout the continent. 223

Wu Yun Becomes Source World Master

Wu Yun contested Thunder Ancestor’s imprint on the Boundless Origin Great Dao, then took control of the Dao and refined the Origin Continent. 237

By leaving imprints on all five Origin Great Daos, Wu Yun became the Source World’s master and achieved World-Level Hunyuan status. As long as the Origin Continent remains undying, Wu Yun is likewise undying. 237
