Structure and Nature
The Original Universe is the immense cosmic cradle that nurtures its resident lifeforms. Even its stars, secret realms, and celestial bodies are insignificant beside its scale. A vast membrane wall separates it from the Universe Sea. 197
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Universe Origin | The core of the entire Original Universe and the source nearest to the origins of its Laws. World Lords can send consciousness into it through their Inner Worlds. 106 |
| Universe Origin Law Oceans | True origin oceans of individual Laws. Recognition by an Origin Law permits consciousness to descend directly into that Law's ocean. 106 |
| Membrane Wall | The boundary between the Original Universe and the Universe Sea. The Toya Black Hole has torn a breach through it that experts use to leave the universe. 197 |
| Original Stars | 10,081 exceptional locations considered closest to the Universe Origin. Their independent spacetime positions cannot be conventionally located. 216 229 |
| Initial Universe passages | The two remaining passages connecting Humanity's territory to the Initial Universe are strategically vital; no new passages could be created after Primal Ancestor's suppression. 269 |
Origin Laws
The universe's foundational Laws include eight attribute-based Lower Laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light—alongside the Laws of Time and Space. 7 210
| Law group | Documented properties |
|---|---|
| Eight Lower Laws | Correspond to the universe's eight energy attributes. Fully comprehending any one permits advancement to Immortal. 7 |
| Time and Space | The two most difficult major Laws. Time comprises Deceleration, Time Stop, and Acceleration; Space comprises Teleportation, Strangulation, and Blockade. 144 |
| Ten Great Origin Laws | Form the basis of a Miniature Universe's operating laws after Chaos evolves. 324 |
| Fusion Laws | More complex Laws born from combinations of the foundational Laws; the Eight Beast God Paths are major examples. 201 324 |
| Chaos Law | The supreme Law from which the Ten Great Origin Laws and Fusion Laws evolve during Chaos Evolution. 324 |
Origin Will and Operating Rules
The Original Universe possesses an Origin Will that governs its operating rules and bestows protection or restrictions according to a cultivator's realm.
- From weak cultivators through Lords of the Universe, the universe is described as granting many favors to its lifeforms. 222
- Universe Venerables and Lords of the Universe are protected by the Universe Origin; killing protected cultivators can bring punishment under the universe's operating rules. 222
- Universe's Strongest are instead restricted after their breakthrough. Within the Original Universe, their combat output is suppressed to roughly Sixth Stage power despite their greater capability outside it. 222 240
- The Origin Will can temporarily be forced to retreat before the supreme rules governing the Universe Sea, as occurred during Qi Yuan's breakthrough to True God. 321
- Mysterious Items are instinctively rejected by the Original Universe and normally cannot be brought within its boundaries. 240
Relationship with the Virtual Universe
Primal Ancestor's Virtual Universe is a reflection and simulation of the Original Universe rather than an independently created cosmos. It contains corresponding versions of the Ten Great Origin Laws, the Eight Beast God Laws, and the Universe Origin itself. 252
The secret art can simulate common operational rules, but deeper Great Daos exceed its limits. 252
Cultivation Significance
The Universe Origin is the primary foundation for Law comprehension.
- A World Lord can use Inner World resonance to project consciousness into the Universe Origin, greatly clarifying Law fluctuations. 106
- Immortals possess stronger Immortal Power but cannot merge consciousness with the Universe Origin Land as World Lords can. 143
- The Initial Universe offers visible Origin Law Secret Patterns and Chaos Tablets, making it a major cultivation holy land for Humanity. 144 145
- The Original Stars continually produce immense quantities of treasures and are believed to be among the locations closest to the Universe Origin. 213 216
- The Origin Dao of Life manifested by the Original Universe is regarded as an ultimate cultivation opportunity beyond complete mastery of Chaos Law. 237
History
Primal Ancestor's Attempt
Primal Ancestor created the Virtual Universe secret art and attempted to use it to replace the Original Universe Origin Will with his own will. The attempt failed, and Primal Ancestor was permanently suppressed by the Origin Will. 236
The Original Star Era
When the 10,081 Original Stars opened, experts from countless races entered to compete for Heavy Treasures and Supreme Treasures. Their unusual spacetime, crushing pressure, and prohibition on teleportation made them exceptionally dangerous battlefields. 213 214
Qi Yuan spent more than five thousand years visiting every Original Star and used his connection to the Universe Origin to construct a mysterious star map from their unconventional coordinates. 229
Human Hegemony
Following Humanity's victory over the Allied Side, more than half of the Original Universe's valuable territories came under Human control. The former territories of the Demon Race, Zerg Race, Mechanical Race, Northern Frontier Alliance, and numerous vassal races were absorbed or redistributed. 292
This period became known as the Human Hegemony Era. 293
Great Destruction
More than six trillion eras after the Beast Realm Crisis, the Original Universe reached the end of its reincarnation era and began its great destruction. 330
Its membrane walls fractured, secret realms and starfields collapsed, black holes dissipated, and ordinary lifeforms were annihilated as their life energy was drawn into the contracting origin. 330
Several hundred thousand eras later, the simultaneous expansion of five Human Miniature Universes marked the emergence of the Second Reincarnation Era. 330
Relationships
- Primal Ancestor — Created the Virtual Universe as a reflection of the Original Universe and attempted to replace its Origin Will; the attempt led to his permanent suppression. 236 252
- Ancestral God Cult — Represents the Original Universe Origin Will during the reincarnation era; after its era's destruction, the cult loses that favor and becomes a loose Universe Sea alliance. 200 330
- Qi Yuan / Miracle Yuan Lord — Uses his exceptional compatibility with the Universe Origin to study Laws, chart the Original Stars, and observe the universe's destruction and rebirth. 229 330
- Luo Feng / Galaxy Lord — Resolving the Beast Realm Crisis grants him, in the original account referenced by Qi Yuan, the Origin Will's permission to observe the Original Universe's great destruction. 237
- Universe's Strongest — Though capable of manipulating rules through Word Manifests as Law, they remain bound and suppressed by the Original Universe's operating laws. 222 287
