First Appearance	1164

Background / History

The Primordial World is described as Pangu’s transformed body and the source of innumerable worlds. Its Great Dao is considered complete, making it fundamentally superior to lower worlds with incomplete laws and cultivation systems 1164 1197 1706.

The Heavenly Wu Clan regards the Primordial Land as a living being: they claim it retains vitality and a heartbeat because Pangu did not truly die, but transformed into the world and entered a state of rest. This belief remains unconfirmed outside the clan’s tradition 2292.

Historical records within the world are repeatedly characterized as incomplete or manipulated. The recorded defeats of ancient figures such as the Dark Turtle, the Wu Clan, and Dongwanggong omit the scale of the forces and schemes involved in their downfall 1555 1935.

Era / Event	Documented impact
Early Chaos and Demon God eras	According to theories attributed to Luo Hou, the Primordial World may have functioned as a prison for Chaos lifeforms, with the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend systems acting as its two locks 2115.
Barbaric Beast Era	Shen Ni rose from the Barbaric Beasts, defeated the Heavenly Wu Clan, and erased much of its historical legacy 2283.
Shen Ni’s devastation	Shen Ni allegedly removed all twelve Primordial Unity Dragon Veins and severely damaged the Primordial Land, contributing to the world’s later decline 2292.
Witch-Demon conflicts	The Wu Clan and Demon Race fought for dominance over earth and heaven respectively; their wars reshaped the world’s political order and damaged its foundations 1498 1499.
Post-Investiture era	Ren arrives shortly after the Investiture of the Gods, finding a world vastly more dangerous and resource-rich than the Fairy Tail World 1164.
Heavenly Dipper collapse	Flame Dipper Demon Venerable’s self-destruction damages the Celestial Dipper Origin, causing multiple Heavenly Dipper layers to break apart and fall into the world 2115 2117.
Buzhou Land restoration	The Heavenly Wu Clan begins restoring damaged land by converting Fiendish Qi into Earth Essence, rapidly improving Buzhou Land but consuming nearly one-fifth of the world’s Fiendish Qi in roughly a thousand years 2300 2304.

Cosmology

Pangu and the Primordial Land

The world’s land, mountains, Dragon Veins, Spiritual Qi, and living beings are tied to Pangu’s legacy. Pangu’s lingering aura gives all matter in the world Spirituality—the potential to awaken sentience, cultivate, and transform 2123.

• Buzhou Mountain — Formed from Pangu’s spine and once served as a convergence point for Pangu’s will; its restoration could condense Pangu’s Will and strengthen the Wu Clan 1997 2293.
• Ancestral Witch Hall — Formed from Pangu’s skull and holds a secret accessible only to a sufficiently powerful descendant with genuine Wu Clan bloodline 2293 2294.
• Primordial Unity Dragon Veins — Evolved from Pangu’s cultivation meridians; the twelve veins once possessed consciousness and could jointly wield power estimated at roughly thirty percent of Pangu’s strength 2292.
• Heavenly Wu Clan — A race born from Pangu’s blood and Earth Essence, capable of refining Fiendish Qi into Earth Essence and repairing the Primordial Land 2285 2292.

Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Layers

Realm	Function and condition
Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Layers	Source of Heavenly Dipper Qi, which can temper Primordial Spirits and support the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations 1170 1705.
Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Layers	A deep domain whose Fiendish Qi suppresses Primordial Spirit-based cultivation and particularly rejects powers connected to Hongjun’s Immortal Dao 2070.
Celestial Dipper Origin	The essential Origin from which the Heavenly Dipper Layers evolved; damage to it causes the layers themselves to collapse 2102 2114.
Earthly Dao hypothesis	Some observers theorize that the Earthly Fiend Layer is governed by an independent Earthly Dao or will opposed to the Heavenly Dao, though this remains unconfirmed 2070.

The collapse of three Heavenly Dipper layers produces fragments of condensed Heavenly Dipper Qi and space. These fragments can dissolve into the land, create blessed lands, form dangerous regions, or become independent spatial realms 2114 2146.

Fiendish Qi Cycle

Fiendish Qi is not solely a contaminant. It is part of the Primordial World’s natural cycle and is generated in large quantities through slaughter, killing intent, blood, and residual energy 2285.

Stage	Process
1. Underground source	Fiendish Qi rises from seventy-two underground layers beneath the Primordial Land 2292.
2. Earthly filtration	The land filters its killing intent and channels it toward the Earthly Fiend Layer 2292.
3. Dragon Vein conversion	Dragon Veins absorb remaining impurities and transform them into Spiritual Qi 2292.
4. Restoration	Spiritual Qi circulates through the world, nurturing life and repairing the land 2292.
5. Heavenly Wu intervention	Heavenly Wu can further purify Fiendish Qi into Earth Essence and return it directly to the land 2285 2300.

Fiendish Qi currently obscures the Heavenly Dao, weakens divination, and prevents many Heavenly Tribulations from descending. This encourages more creatures to transform, but also drives slaughter that acts as a brutal population and resource-control mechanism 2148 2303.

Heavenly Dao and Origin

Every world possesses an Origin, the foundation required for its continued existence. If a world’s Origin disappears, the world is destroyed; sufficiently evolved Origins can develop consciousness and become a Heavenly Dao 947.

Within the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao records living beings, particularly those who cultivate Hongjun’s Immortal Dao. This system grants immense power within the world but increasingly binds practitioners to the Heavenly Dao itself 2082.

The nature of Hongjun’s Immortal Dao is disputed by Ren and his allies:

• It is believed to merge cultivators more deeply with the Heavenly Dao as their cultivation rises 2082.
• Tongtian’s Heaven-Cutting Sword Dao is treated as evidence that alternative paths of cultivation exist outside this framework 2083.
• The Earthly Fiend Layer’s suppression of Immortal Dao-derived power suggests a fundamental opposition between the world’s “Heaven” and its depths 2070.

Cultivation Systems

Primordial Unity Paths

Method	Structure	Notes
Primordial Unity Great Luo	12 levels, corresponding to the Twelve Primordial Unity Dragon Veins	The orthodox qualitative path; extremely powerful but dangerous and largely inaccessible after the Dragon Veins’ disappearance 2293 2294.
Primordial Unity Grand Unity	36 levels, corresponding to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper divisions	The principal modern path; safer and more gradual, with roughly three levels equaling one Great Luo level 2293.
Earthly Fiend Primordial Unity	72 levels	The most fragmented and weakest route; roughly six levels correspond to one Great Luo level 2293.

The scarcity of resources in the modern era forced most cultivators onto the Grand Unity Method. Ancient eras reportedly supported tens of thousands of Primordial Unity experts, while the present age struggles to produce even one 2294.

Divine Ability Types

Type	Source	Examples
Bloodline Divine Abilities	Racial bloodlines; cannot be learned without the relevant lineage	Golden Crow Solar True Flame; Phoenix Nirvana Flame; Tengu Sun-Swallowing Moon-Devouring 1291.
Innate Divine Abilities	Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Spiritual Roots	Karmic Fire of the Twelfth-Grade Red Lotus; Heaven-Earth Cauldron transformation; Zhu Xian Sword slaughter 1291.
Acquired Divine Abilities	Created, cultivated, and transmitted by practitioners	Three Heads and Six Arms; Earth-Escaping Technique; Samadhi True Fire 1291.

Resources and Phenomena

• Creation Jade Butterfly Fragments — Fragments record Great Daos and can help their holders comprehend, analyze, or inherit Dao paths. Their effects depend on compatibility with the user 1497 1498.
• Fossils and Source Stone-like materials — Ancient wars, destroyed Spirit Treasures, dead beings, and spiritual roots may have formed hidden treasure-bearing stones beneath the land 1279 1283.
• Heavenly Dipper Fragments — Fallen pieces of the Dipper Layers contain Heavenly Dipper Qi and spatial energy useful for cultivation, world creation, and artifact refinement 2115 2146.
• Innate materials — The world possesses materials of greater fundamental quality than those of lower worlds, though lower-world materials may retain unique properties unavailable in the Primordial World 1332.
• Earthly Fiend Layer resources — The largely unexplored layer is believed to contain immense quantities of Spirit Treasures, Spiritual Roots, and materials exhausted elsewhere in the world 2068.

Major Powers

Faction / Force	Position in the Primordial World
Wu Clan	Ancient body cultivators associated with Pangu, Buzhou Mountain, the Underworld, and the Ancestral Shamans 1498 1510.
Human Race	Numerous and adaptable but traditionally weaker in bloodline and innate divine abilities; its collective Destiny is a central political resource 1703 1983.
Demon Race	Historically ruled the heavens through the Demon Court and remains divided among Demon Sages, Demon Gods, and Demon Venerables 1935 2207.
Three Sects	The Human, Expounding, and Interception Sects; their reunion fulfills Tongtian’s desire for harmony but does not end broader factional conflict 2076.
Demon Cult	A rising force built around Luo Hou’s inheritances and Demon Scripture; its cultivation methods create strength through extreme casualties and corruption 2148 2207.
Heavenly Court	The remnant of the Primordial Demon Court, which shattered during the ancient war and became the present Heavenly Court 2274.
Heavenly Wu Clan	Forgotten descendants of Pangu’s blood and Earth Essence who can restore and govern the Primordial Land through Fiendish Qi refinement 2282 2285.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arc	Role of the Primordial World
Ren’s arrival	Ren recognizes it as the Investiture-era world and immediately treats it as a far more dangerous but more rewarding foundation than any world he previously visited 1164 1197.
Fossil discovery	Its ancient calamities and buried battlefields allow Ren to develop his theory of Fossils concealing lost Spirit Treasures and inheritances 1279 1317.
Buddhism’s fall and Demon Cult rise	The destruction of Buddhism and emergence of the Demon Empress radically alter the world’s balance of power 1595 1606.
Heavenly Dipper disaster	Damage to the Celestial Dipper Origin destabilizes the world’s sky-like layers, scatters rare fragments, and exposes its cosmic fragility 2115 2117.
Myriad Worlds expansion	Ren uses the Primordial World as his primary base while dispatching armies through the Reincarnation Treasure Realm to conquer weaker worlds and recruit external talent 1700 2214.
Buzhou Land restoration	The Heavenly Wu Clan’s return opens a path to restore Pangu’s land, gather Pangu’s Will, revive lost resources, and potentially resist the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun 2292 2293.
