Background / History
Heaven Origin was formerly an obscure, underdeveloped district of Longevity Prefecture. Spirit Stone mining polluted its air, leaving its skies permanently gray and coating outdoor belongings in dust. 99 242
The district was previously controlled by the Former Committee, whose misconduct was later exposed alongside the abuses of Ant Power Company. The succeeding committee worked to clean up the resulting damage. 239 244
Heaven Origin's rise became closely tied to Dreamscapes. Records of Shanhai Sightings used Dreamscape content to break its deadlock, while the popularity of Out of Control brought the district widespread attention. 130 242
When the Former Committee accused Heaven Origin of harboring Demonic Cultivators, the Thunder Ministry and Inspectorate investigated its mana transactions. The inquiry cleared the suspicion and acknowledged the district's transformation, with the Thunder Ministry representative considering a report to loosen its Regional Lock. 249 250
Heaven Origin's educational institutions and cultivator prospects also became the subject of competition from outside organizations. During a joint study program, Xu Education Group sought to acquire Heaven Origin's cultivator talent, while Heaven Origin Sports School was judged to have poor technology, student conduct, and teaching quality. 23
After its Calamity, Heaven Origin continued developing rather than collapsing. Its population later more than doubled when residents of Constant Law City relocated there, and the district began investing in universities, welfare programs, specialized industries, forbidden zones, and large-scale Dreamscape infrastructure. 497 819 967 1021

Heaven Origin event dungeons
Heaven Origin was used as a major target and battleground in the event dungeon featuring the Masked Man and the black Prince Zhao. Approximately 3,000 players had built their own version of Heaven Origin before the attack. 577 578
The black Prince Zhao eventually destroyed the event-dungeon version of Heaven Origin. Although the players could not realistically defend the city, the attack generated considerable attention and became part of the Dreamscape's broader promotion. 578 580

Regional Lock and External Perception
Heaven Origin is constrained by a Regional Lock: Star Lords in Longevity Prefecture either cease providing Star Lord-related services to the district or limit them to basic service. 310
- Travel into or out of Heaven Origin is heavily restricted. Crossing the Regional Lock under another pretext can raise travel costs to one hundred times the normal price. 125
- The Lock also imposed extensive restrictions on Heaven Origin visitors in the Upper Realm, including limits on purchasing goods, entering buildings, eating outside hotel grounds, contacting the Lower Realm, and observing the city. 369
- Constant Law City was among the district's fiercest opponents, with many of its residents treating Heaven Origin as a “demonic” place unworthy of contact. 685
- Constant Law City's severance of ties with Profound Law University prompted many of its residents to relocate to Heaven Origin despite the city's continuing hostility. 819
- Online rumors similarly portrayed Heaven Origin as a “den of demons,” despite its public welfare programs and development. 923 958
- Heaven Origin's employees and welfare system earned favorable comparisons from outsiders who learned about its working conditions, even while the district continued to be viewed with suspicion by people unfamiliar with it. 827 958
- By the post-Calamity reconstruction period, Heaven Origin possessed a supportive Star Lord, a large server, a large-scale Dreamscape, and its own trade routes without surrendering district authority to outside capital. 587
- The district's businesses, schools, and welfare programs continued to operate under the Regional Lock, forcing administrators to devise unusual ways to import goods, spend funds, and expand services. 1018
