Background / History
Pangu opened heaven and earth, while the Chaos Green Lotus shattered during the world-opening process. One of its seeds entered the Primordial World and became the Twelve-Grade Purifying White Lotus. 3
The world has repeatedly been reshaped by great calamities, including the Beast Calamity, Dragon-Han First Calamity, Witch-Demon Calamity, and Investiture of the Gods Calamity. Each calamity rearranges both the balance of power and the fate of its living beings. 11
For much of its history, the Heavenly Dao held dominance over the Earth Dao and Human Dao. The Earth Dao's awakening began when the world's earth veins were linked to the Netherworld Underworld; its will subsequently spread through the land, earth veins, and Six Paths of Reincarnation. 53 54 55
During Lord Tongtian's final conflict with the other great powers, the pillars supporting heaven were severed, heaven and earth were damaged, and the Primordial Continent split into four portions. Zhenyuanzi, Lady Serenity, Wangshu, and other powers acted to preserve the earth veins, Netherworld, seas, and living beings. 593
The Human Dao finally awakened through Ying Zheng's Mount Tai sacrifice. With the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos operating together, the world completed its ultimate ascension. 605
Cosmic Structure
| Region / System | Documented features |
|---|---|
| Three Realms | The overarching cosmic order of the Primordial World, containing Heaven, Earth, and the Netherworld. Its stability depends on the balance of the Three Daos. 593 605 |
| Thirty-Three Heavens / Zenith Heaven | A heavenly domain containing the Great Luo Heaven, the High Heaven Palace, blessed lands, and the barrier leading to the endless starry sky. 12 16 |
| Jade Capital Mountain | The most sacred blessed land in the deepest Zenith Heaven; born at the beginning of the world's evolution. Other heavenly blessed lands were created around it. 16 |
| Endless Starry Sky | Beyond the Zenith Heaven's barrier. Its ancient stars include the Sun Star, Lunar Star, and Purple Tenuity Emperor Star, which form the Three Talents with the other Zhou Tian stars revolving around them. 16 |
| Netherworld Underworld | Once functioned like an independent cosmos, separate from the world's earth veins. It governs the judgment and reincarnation of departed souls through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 48 50 |
| Earth veins | A world-spanning network connected by Zhenyuanzi's Earth Book. Their union with the Netherworld enabled the Earth Dao's awakening. 48 54 |
| Four great continents | The Eastern World, Western World, Southern Li Continent, and Northern Abyss. The Heaven-Piercing Tree stands at their junction. 704 |
| Chaos beyond the heavens | The outer void beyond the world's barrier, inhabited by threats such as Outer-Realm Heavenly Devils and remnants of Chaos Demon Gods. 16 |
Dao Order
Heavenly Dao
The Heavenly Dao originally reigned supreme over the Primordial World, binding even Heavenly Dao Saints through its laws and order. Its suppression prevented the Earth Dao and Human Dao from fully awakening. 54
After the Human Dao's awakening, the Heavenly Dao became one of three coexisting cosmic foundations rather than the world's sole governing authority. 605
Earth Dao
The Earth Dao is tied to the Primordial World's earth veins, the Netherworld Underworld, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Its awakening strengthened the world's origin and allowed the Earthly Dao's order to extend across the land. 54 55
Human Dao
The Human Dao initially lay dormant beneath Heavenly Dao suppression. It awakened when Ying Zheng united human fortune and invoked the witness of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity at Mount Tai. 31 605
Although awakened through humanity, the Human Dao is described as the Dao of survival for all races and living beings of the Primordial World. 605
