The great war led by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin clans back then could be understood, using knowledge from Li Changshou's previous life, as—
Powerful ancient reptiles, birds, and mammals fighting for supremacy over heaven and earth, ultimately smashing apart the world Great God Pangu had painstakingly opened.
The region centered around Mount Buzhou was protected by the Dao Ancestor, becoming today's Five Great Continents.
Those fragments of the Primordial Wilderness flung into the void became the Three Thousand Worlds. Those with all five elements complete were Great Thousand Worlds, their academic name being—Complete Five Elements Worlds.
Worlds with unbalanced five elements were called Minor Worlds, mainly to distinguish them from Complete Five Elements Worlds.
Gradually, the definitions of Great Thousand Worlds and Minor Worlds drifted, evolving into a simple classification based on the size of the worlds themselves.
The Minor World Li Changshou and the others were approaching had balanced yin and yang, all five elements, and complete Great Dao. Its spiritual energy concentration was merely lower than that of the Five Continents, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

Senior Brother, where should we begin?"
Daoist Duobao looked toward Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener at the side.
