Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit World Island established | 68 | Lei Mo names its central landmass Spirit World Island. It covers exactly 8,765 square kilometers, matching the 8,765 souls permitted to enter and cultivate the Initial Runes. |
| Elemental nourishment demonstrated | 68 | Golden liquid is merged into the island; more than a thousand water-aligned souls reach the Saint Realm as law energy accelerates their cultivation. |
| Spirit World Baptism system | 75 | Saint Realm souls with even limited talent in a Law and comprehension of its Initial Rune can become Lowgods in roughly three hundred years. The process can be repeated and operates autonomously. |
| Environmental evolution | 93 | During Lei Mo's Midgod breakthrough, the island grows and thickens; barren land develops mountains, plains, and vegetation. |
| Spatial-node integration | 121 | Franklin identifies the Totem Pillar sub-bodies as spatial nodes. Seven Law Totem Pillars are retracted from Seraph and appear across Spirit World Island. |
| Artifact-energy absorption | 125 | A pitch-black artifact disintegrates into gray airflow, which the Spirit World converts into seven-colored energy; gray mist subsequently envelops the island. |
| Soul Rune transformation | 161, 163 | Ghost Original Bodies transform into Soul Runes, releasing accumulated cultivation shackles and triggering widespread breakthroughs among Spirit World Deities. |
| Vast spatial stability | 186 | The Spirit World's spatial stability surpasses Hell's, while its expanding space becomes impossible for Lei Mo to measure even through instantaneous travel. |
| Mass-baptism capacity | 175, 190 | A single baptism can process more than 800,000 Saint Realm souls; one recorded cycle involves 876,500 souls. |
| Xuanlang Heaven fusion | 269, 270 | The Spirit World, Xuanlang Heart, and Nebula Soul merge. A spatial membrane seals Spirit World Island as projections of Material Planes solidify around it; Seraph later merges into the structure. |
| Elemental Angel rebirth | 354 | The Elemental Angel Rebirth Pool enables Spirit World Ghosts reborn as Elemental Angels to enter and leave Xuanlang Heaven in physical form. |
Background / History
Lei Mo named the central landmass of his soul-space Spirit World Island after discovering its numerical link to the 8,765 souls capable of entering it at one time. Souls outside the island were gradually nourished by the realm, while the souls admitted to the island cultivated by observing its massive Initial Runes. The introduction of golden liquid proved that law-aligned energy could dramatically accelerate this process. 68
Thirty years later, most souls on the island had reached the Saint Realm but had not yet attained godhood. Lei Mo formalized the realm's ascension process as the Spirit World Baptism, using it to preserve and restore deceased associates such as Paro, Lauro, Cairne, and the former Duke Mansion staff as Saint Realm souls. 69 75
The Spirit World rapidly became the foundation of Lei Mo's faction. Its baptized Lowgods spread across Seraph and later the Supreme Planes, while their Ghost Original Bodies remained linked to the realm. This structure allowed the Spirit World to cultivate vast numbers of Deities, preserve intelligence from slain agents, and coordinate operations across immense distances. 75 92 118
After absorbing the Xuanlang Heart, the Spirit World underwent a larger transformation into part of Xuanlang Heaven. Spirit World Island became the central core of this new structure, surrounded by absorbed Material Planes and eventually joined by the Seraph Plane. 269 270 299
Abilities & Functions
Soul Rebirth and Nurturing
The Spirit World receives and preserves souls, continuously improving their talent before and after divine ascension.
- Reborn souls retain their essential nature; a soul that was originally a divine beast remains a divine beast soul after Spirit World rebirth. 193
- Its nourishment continues even after a soul gains a divine clone through baptism. 193
- Campbell's god-level soul regresses to the Saint Realm after entering the Spirit World, yet retains god-level soul intensity and the ability to perceive other Laws. 98
- Godhood attained through one's original body remains risky: if such a soul dies, further rebirth is uncertain. 203
Spirit World Baptism
The Spirit World Baptism is the realm's principal method of creating Deities.
- A Saint Realm soul needs aptitude in a Law and at least partial comprehension of its corresponding Initial Rune to qualify. 75
- Eligible souls can become Lowgods in approximately three hundred years. 75
- The baptism does not grant innate divine abilities, unlike the Azure Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool. 75
- The system is procedural: eligible Saint Realm souls gather in a mist-covered region at the island's center, after which Franklin initiates the baptism. 189
- Its scale eventually exceeds 800,000 simultaneous candidates, creating shortages of Saint Realm souls despite the realm's rapid nurturing. 175 190
Initial Runes and Soul Runes
The Spirit World's rune system enables cultivation, memory preservation, and collective advancement.
- Initial Runes do not correspond one-to-one with profound mysteries; multiple distinct runes may represent the same mystery. 120
- A soul that gains godhood through baptism can fully comprehend the mysteries represented by its Initial Runes. 120
- Ghost Original Bodies commonly transform into Soul Runes and manifest on Franklin's true body. 120
- Soul Rune manifestation gradually enhances soul talent, a result verified by countless Spirit World Deities. 180
- Ghost main bodies can assist their divine clones in comprehending and deducing Laws and Rules they have already grasped. 118
- The conversion of Ghost Original Bodies into Soul Runes caused a major burst of god-level breakthroughs, though later progress slowed after contact with those bodies was lost. 161 163
Remote Communication and Intelligence Processing
The Spirit World functions as a near-instantaneous communications and analysis system for Lei Mo's forces.
- God-level beings can communicate through ghost avatars retained in the Spirit World, allowing information to spread with exceptional speed. 76
- Its Ghost Original Bodies collect and relay intelligence in real time, making the realm comparable to a massive data center. 92
- Information gathered by Devil Castle and Spirit World operatives is retained and filtered through the Spirit World, with Lei Mo controlling what may be publicly circulated. 95
- Qigu's Intelligence Hub analyzes incoming reports, prioritizes Spirit World interests, and coordinates tracking operations across the Supreme Planes. 302
- The collective processing of Spirit World Ghosts later allows analysis of Divine Spark attributes and approximate ranks. 148
Spatial Functions
The Spirit World possesses spatial properties beyond ordinary planes.
- Lei Mo can travel instantly within it by thought, though he is unable to determine its full size. 186
- Franklin can descend his consciousness through the realm to reach distant Totem Pillar sub-bodies. 121
- The Totem Pillars serve as spatial nodes, allowing them to be retracted into and redeployed from Spirit World Island. 121
- Its spatial stability surpasses that of Hell and remains unaffected when Lei Mo brings a Sovereign Spark into it. 186
- After its fusion with Xuanlang Heaven, a spatial membrane isolates Spirit World Island from the outside space. 269
Collective Influence
Spirit World Deities are bound by an invisible influence that prioritizes the realm and Lei Mo.
- Its Deities cannot form resentment toward Lei Mo or act in ways that would harm the Spirit World. 165
- Competition for rank exists, but it is automatically constrained to serve Spirit World interests. 165
- Orders from Lei Mo are executed with immediate and near-absolute efficiency by the realm's Deities. 180

Story Role / Major Arcs
