Structure and Natural Laws
- The Primal Universe is described as vast, perfect, and ancient, with a diameter of approximately 100 trillion light-years. 12 499
- Its operation is founded on the ten basic laws: time, space, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light. Complex fusion laws exist within it and are comparatively easier to comprehend than in a miniature universe. 438
- At its absolute peak, the Primal Universe is comparable to a Sector Beast that has completed the Great Dao of Destruction Origin; unlike Sector Beasts, however, it represents Life Origin and nurtures innumerable races. 458
- Special regions can form under unusual rules within the universe. Their dangers range from survivable for World Lords to lethal even for Universe Masters. 79
Origin Land
The Origin Land is the universe's most mysterious location. It can be reached only through consciousness, never physically; every World Lord may descend there to gain insight into laws. Its drifting points of light can possess pressure comparable to the Giant Axe Founder. 228
- Ye Muxuan entered it through consciousness during his breakthrough to Universe Master and witnessed the universe's cycle of life, death, extinction, and rebirth. 228
- The Origin Will granted Ye Muxuan the talent secret technique Reincarnation there. 228
Primal Stars
- The universe contains 10,081 Primal Stars, each 100 billion kilometers in diameter. 133
- Their colorful vortex channels connect the stars; the pressure inside can disintegrate even Peak King-level Immortals. 133
- Space on a Primal Star is heavily suppressed: spatial fluctuations cease and God Kingdom teleportation cannot be used. 133
- The Primal Stars served as major treasure-hunting grounds until they closed, ending a prolonged competition among Universe Overlords and ordinary Universe Masters. 170 212
Origin Will
The Origin Will is the governing will of the Primal Universe. It acts through decrees, suppresses threats within the bounds of the Supreme Rules, and communicates with the three Ancestral Gods. 9 387 414
Authority and Restrictions
- Within the Primal Universe, any individual's material or soul attack is restricted to the peak of Tier 6, including attacks by Universe Supreme Beings. 9 346
- This restriction does not apply to combined power: groups of Universe Masters can combine divine power to produce attacks far beyond Tier 6. 361
- The Origin Will could suppress the Original Ancestor after his attempted possession of the Primal Universe, but could not kill him because the Supreme Rules permit attempts at possession. 414
- The Primal Universe cannot actively attack living beings, as its nature and purpose are tied to the Great Dao of Life Origin. 458
Bestowals and Withdrawal of Favor
- Universe Masters remain “children” of the Primal Universe. Upon becoming True Gods and forming miniature universes, they separate part of its origin and are no longer favored in the same way. 463
- True Gods lose Origin Will-bestowed abilities such as innate secret techniques and avatar techniques, but gain the ability Word Follows Law. 463
- The Origin Will was said to favor humanity more after Palace Master Qingying removed the Divine Wood Artifact from the Primal Universe, granting humans increased essence. 394
Ancestral God Sect
The three Ancestral Gods serve as the Origin Will's spokespersons. They ordinarily do not leave the Primal Universe without its command. 387 389
- When the Origin Will was damaged by an unknown powerhouse fighting it from within the Primal Universe, the Ancestral Gods reacted with shock and ordered the Ancestral God Sect to find the culprit. 9
- The incident was unprecedented: even the Human Race “madman” who had repeatedly fought the Origin Will in the past had never damaged it. 9
- The Origin Will later commanded the Ancestral Gods to enter the Universe Ocean in response to the crisis surrounding the World of Jin and the colossal humanoid entity. 387 389
- It warned the Ancestral God Sect that a catastrophe would occur during the current reincarnation era, leading the Ancestral Gods to inform the Human and Star Behemoth alliances. 400
Reincarnation Cycle
- The Primal Universe undergoes cycles of life, death, destruction, and rebirth. 228
- The current reincarnation era still has at least tens of trillions of epochs remaining before the universe's final destruction. 462
- A God Kingdom cannot leave the Primal Universe before its owner becomes a True God and expands it into a miniature universe. 436
- When the Primal Universe is destroyed, Immortals, Venerables, and Universe Masters without miniature universes as life foundations will have their God Kingdoms annihilated and will reincarnate with it. 436
- A Holy Land Universe can endure the reincarnation cycle, unlike the Primal Universe and its dependent races. 463
Political Landscape
Human Era
Following the faction war, the Human Race became the dominant force inside the Primal Universe, claiming the best core territories while the Ancestral God Sect and Star Behemoth Alliance became its principal allied factions. 366
- The Human Race occupied 40% of the best territories after the war; the Crystal Race and Prison Race were effectively wiped out, while the Monster-Bug Alliance withdrew to remote regions. 366
- The Primal Universe was divided into two major camps: the Human-led side controlled the Outer Battlefield, while the Monster-Bug Alliance gathered more than 200 Universe Masters but remained outmatched. 409
- Under the Universe Ocean Covenant, the Primal Universe became primarily a battlefield for Venerables and Immortals, while conflicts involving Universe Masters and True Gods shifted largely to the Universe Ocean and the World of Jin. 403 409
