Myriad Worlds

Biodata

Background / History

According to Wu Tong, the Myriad Worlds were created by the Heavenly Dao as the Yellow Springs of ancient times. Rather than entering reincarnation, the souls of the dead are sent there; their memories of past lives are erased in the process. The realm's two foundational regions, the Soul Derivation Pool and Bone Burial Valley, were established to contain these souls. 290

The realm later became associated with the Demon Race and external threats to the Great Universe. After the Azure Cloud Realm's Heavenly Dao Barrier was breached, constructing Space Channels to it became easier. 162 Myriad Worlds cultivators subsequently entered through such channels to fight Azure Cloud Realm forces, including more than a thousand reinforcements whose strength was at least comparable to Immortal-path Nascent Soul cultivators. 157

By Chu Zheng's later travels, the Myriad Worlds were known to be plagued by extraterrestrial demons, and many cultivators were said to become demons after death. 263 Chu Zheng eventually entered the realm through a Space Channel suppressed by Wu Tong after using a secret revival method. 291

Structure and Locations

Inhabitants and Nature

Souls and Evil Spirits

The Myriad Worlds receive the dead from the Great Universe after their memories have been wiped. Wu Tong could not determine what ultimately happens when a being native to the Myriad Worlds dies there. 290

• Remnant souls and spirits emerge from the Soul Derivation Pool. 292
• These spirits absorb Evil Qi and can become Evil Spirits. 292
• The realm's inhabitants seek Yang energy, believing sufficient accumulation could permit true resurrection; no successful resurrection was known to Wu Tong. 292
• Beings from the Great Universe cannot remain in the Myriad Worlds indefinitely because its extreme craving for Yang energy threatens them. 292

Demon Race

The Demon Race of the Myriad Worlds has a hierarchy ranging from Barbaric Demons to Great Commanders. 162

• Gongyi Ziyu is a Great Commander encountered within the Great Tomb. She retained memories connected to a past cosmic conflict and recognized similarities between Chu Zheng and Zhengchu Dao Lord. 278
• Creatures from the Myriad Worlds possess Origin Qi, though Chu Zheng found it incompatible with Immortal energy and too powerful for his body to bear directly. 204

Access and Restrictions

Space Channels

Space Channels connect the Myriad Worlds with other realms, including the Azure Cloud Realm. Their openings can become military flashpoints. 155 157

• The breach in the Azure Cloud Realm's Heavenly Dao Barrier made channels easier to construct. 162
• A channel at the Rift Canyon Sea was expected to connect to the Demon Race, prompting Chu Zheng to prepare for the arrival of a Sixth Order being. 158
• Wu Tong suppressed a Space Channel to enable Chu Zheng's entry into the Myriad Worlds. 291

Departure

Leaving the Myriad Worlds is exceptionally difficult. Wu Tong specifically warned Chu Zheng that entry into the realm did not guarantee a viable route back to the Great Universe. 291

Conflict with the Great Universe

The Myriad Worlds are a major belligerent in the wider war against the Immortal Alliance and allied forces.

• Myriad Worlds cultivators attempted to recruit Azure Cloud Realm cultivators before fighting them in the starry void. 157
• During the Lineage War, a Celestial Immortal of the Myriad Worlds threatened the Azure Cloud cultivators before being destroyed by the Azure Cloud Immortal King's projection. 160
• The Immortal Alliance was later described as holding the upper hand on the Myriad Worlds Battlefield, though subsequent reports indicated a battlefield setback. 262 279
• The Myriad Worlds Battlefield is distinct from the Myriad Worlds themselves: it is a separate realm formed from compressed remnants of ancient Great Realms. 304
