History
Era of Suppression
The Primordial World contained regions of extreme imbalance from its early history. Its Western ley-line core was severely polluted by chaotic demonic energy, creating a barren zone where even the newly formed Slaughter Buddha Seal faced annihilation. 1
Dao Ancestor Hongjun later revealed that the Heavenly Dao had deliberately restricted the world's development. By suppressing the Earthly and Human Daos and repeatedly creating tribulations, it sought to reduce the world's prominence and delay discovery by the entities behind the Epoch Tribulation. 71
Awakening of the Three Daos
The Earthly Dao was awakened through Hou Tu's sacrifice and the establishment of reincarnation. Its emergence created a second pole of authority beneath the Heavenly Dao, despite opposition from the Heavenly Dao Saints. 60 61 64
Following Ming Xin's warning about the Outer Gods, Hongjun abandoned the strategy of concealment. He unsealed the world's laws, reopened the Gate of the Origin, and authorized the merger of the Grave God World's surviving origin. 109 110
The Grave God World fusion expanded the Primordial World's territory by more than a quarter. Its new denizens were cleansed of their Otherworldly Aura, recorded by the Heavenly Dao, and accepted as native beings. 111
The Human Dao subsequently awakened from the collective will, civilization, and aspirations of living beings. With Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao in balance, the world entered its complete Great Primordial World state. 113
Expansion and Final Rebirth
Ming Xin later returned with the origins of the Zhetian World, Eternal Life World, Saint King World, Great Master World, and other realms. These were integrated directly into the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos rather than merely added to the world, causing explosive growth in its territory, spiritual energy, laws, and potential. 125
In recognition of this transformation, the world bestowed the origins of its three Daos upon Ming Xin, making him its uncrowned master aside from the wills of the Daos themselves. 125
During the collapse of the old universe, Ming Xin reshaped the damaged Primordial World and restored its fallen inhabitants. It became the core origin point connecting innumerable new universes. 135
The reborn world was established as the Central Divine Court of the Myriad Dao Universe, where the Myriad Dao Alliance gathered leading figures from its affiliated worlds to preserve peace and order. 136
Structure and Governing Forces
| Aspect | Role |
|---|---|
| Heavenly Dao | Governs order and laws; it previously enforced restrictions on cultivation and world growth, then lifted them in preparation for the Epoch Tribulation. 71 110 |
| Earthly Dao | Governs reincarnation, earth veins, and bearing all beings; it awakened through Hou Tu's transformation into Empress Ping Xin. 64 125 |
| Human Dao | Embodies the collective will, civilization, hopes, and struggles of living beings; it completed the world's three-Dao balance upon manifesting. 113 125 |
| Realm Wall | A long-standing barrier protecting the world from external intrusions; its breach triggered an immediate warning from the Heavenly Dao. 106 |
| World Barrier | After the mass world-origin fusion, its spatial structure became so stable that even several Quasi-Saints acting together could not shake it. 125 |
