Creation and Early History
Pangu created the Primordial World by opening the heavens after confronting the Chaos Gods and Demons. Afterward, he shattered the Pangu Axe into the Three World-Opening Treasures to stabilize earth, fire, water, and wind. 2
The world keeps no record of years. Its earliest known eras included the Beast Tribulation and the Dragon-Han Primordial Tribulation, during which slaughter was unceasing. 1
Hongjun's defeat of Luohou and his sermons at Zixiao Palace gave the world's cultivators a recognized path of cultivation; they subsequently honored him as the Dao Ancestor. 1
The major races that emerged before the Human Race were the Demon Race—led by Sun Star-born Dijun and Taiyi through the Heavenly Court—and the Witch Race, founded by the Twelve Ancestral Witches formed from Pangu's Essence Blood. 1
Nuwa later created the Human Race from earth. Initially frail and broadly scorned by the myriad races, humanity eventually became central to the Primordial World's Karmic Fortune and future order. 1 91

| Primordial Netherworld | The underworld governed by Pingxin/Houtu, containing the Nine Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 63 87 |
Key Locations

Six Paths
The Primordial World is described as incomplete until all Six Paths awaken. One account identifies them as the Paths of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, Monster, Demon, and Buddhism. 131
- The Heavenly Dao awakened first and governs the Primordial World through impartial laws. 62 103
- The Earthly Dao awakened after Houtu completed the Six Paths of Reincarnation and became Pingxin of the Nine Netherworld. 62 66
- The awakening of the Earthly Dao more than doubled the world's density of innate spiritual qi, allowing many Demon Race beings to transform. 66
- The Human Path is tied to the Human Race enduring its final major trial; its awakening would allow Heaven, Earth, and Humanity to jointly govern the world. 130 131

Merit, Karmic Fortune, and Faith
- Heavenly Dao Merit is awarded for acts that benefit the Primordial World; the Heavenly Dao is described as impartial rather than inherently corrupting those who receive Merit. 62
- Karmic Fortune influences the power and advancement of races, sects, and Sages. Merit-Proven Sages depend heavily on it for further growth. 13 15
- Faith Power arose when the Human Race vowed to worship Zhen Yuanzi for protecting them. It nourishes cultivation and can assist in merging the Three Corpses. 77
