Twilight Ocean

## Summary

A supreme-grade Mystic Realm created by the fusion of the inner worlds of two autarchs and modified by the System to serve as the location for the Twilight Ascent Grade Restricted Limited Trials. The Ocean was sacrificed by Alvod Jondir, the Eveningtide Asura, when he defended his Dao to become an Autarch.

## Origin

* "This place, which is now called the Twilight Ocean, was once part of my inner world,” the man sighed, once more swapping over to a Revenant. “The two faces you see me wear belong to two first-step Autarchs that fought to the Death extremely ago. Because of a certain treasure we fought over, our deaths wasn’t the end. “A small part of our inner worlds survived and fused into this Mystic Realm. Innumerable years later, my two siblings and I woke up, each one controlling one version of this realm. **Chapter 779**

## Nature

* “It is a supreme-grade Mystic Realm, from what I have heard, and the place where the Twilight Ascent is being held. The Twilight Lord founded this place, and his descendant is still officially in charge of the ocean,” **Book 7, Page 756**
* “The Twilight Ocean has been grade restricted by the Boundless Heavens, and the Twilight Fruits match the grade. **Book 7, Page 762**
* “Just so,” Nala said as she looked down at the glowing orb. “Many believe that the Twilight Ocean was created by two enormous Mystic Realms colliding, one life-attuned and one death-attuned. It resulted in the Twilight Ocean. “That by itself is a miracle, but more interestingly, it created new energy, Twilight Energy. It is a mix of life and death,” the guide continued. **Book 7, Page 761**
* The Twilight Ocean was a System-controlled Mystic Realm, and as such, had probably been modified to have its current effect. **Book 8, Page 5**
* The Twilight Ocean had been around for millions of years and opened up once every thousand years or so. **Book 8, Page 4**
* “Hardly. We had both defended our Dao and connected our Inner Worlds to the Heavens. Our inner worlds were far grander in both depth and scale compared to this desolate Mystic Realm,” the Mystic Realm snorted. **Chapter 779**
* In a way, you could look at the Perennial Vastness and the Twilight Oceans as experiments by the System. Only one focused on a specific path, while the Perennial Vastness seemed to look at the Dao as a whole. **Chapter 986**

## Twilight Harbor

* “The sphere down there is the Twilight Ocean, or rather the entrance to it. It’s closed right now, but it is still discharging enormous amounts of Miasma and Cosmic Energy. That’s the whole basis of Twilight Harbor.” **Book 7, Page 755**
* “The Twilight Ocean expels both life- and death-attuned energies, and unless both sides are present to absorb it, then the atmosphere will slowly become imbalanced.” **Book 7, Page 755**

## Geography

* The Twilight Ocean was essentially an enormous planet where you started on a continent on one pole, while the Twilight Chasm was on the other end. **Book 8, Page 62**
* The sky itself held the same color as the spatial anomaly from the outside, a mix of gold and green that cast everything in a slightly metallic hue. **Book 8, Page 99**
* The Twilight Ocean shared the same odd feature as many other Mystic Realms that were actively managed by the System. It was randomized between trials, just like Earth upon the integration. However, a lot of features were constant even after the randomization, and Cork Island was one location that always appeared somewhere in the early parts of the Twilight Ocean. **Book 8, Page 113**
* The seabed he stood on was made from the same golden-green sand as the rest of the Twilight Ocean, whereas the mountain was wrought from a completely different material. **Book 8, Page 257**

## Altered Physics

* “Twilight Energy is not natural; it’s a fusion of life and death. Absorbing it is like drinking tainted water,” Catheya explained. **Book 7, Page 772**
* He soon found himself completely submerged as he took the first steps into the waters, and was relieved to find that visibility was a lot better than he initially feared. He could see for thousands of meters before it all turned into a greenish haze, and he could even spot a few other cultivators in the distance. **Book 8, Page 102**
* The viscosity of the liquid was a bit odd, far lower than water. He didn’t actually float in the Twilight Ocean, but he could freely swim around as long as he expelled small amounts of Miasma. **Book 8, Page 102**
* He actually spoke, another odd feature of the Twilight Ocean Zac had read about. Sound traveled just fine in the liquid, though voices appeared slightly muted. **Book 8, Page 105**

## Notable Locations

* City of Ancients
	+ The City of Ancients was like most cities, with the outer regions holding smaller buildings, apart from a number of massive structures that seemed to hold special functions. ... Meanwhile, the neighborhoods closer to the vast castle in the center were a lot more affluent, and there were a few parks as large as forests that had peeked through the clouds. There was not much else to say about this town, except that it seemed to have been the home to two different races when it wasn’t abandoned. **Chapter 768**
	+ It had to be an exceedingly wealthy Monarch who had once lived here. A Divine Monarch, probably, who had less use for D-grade materials. Perhaps… Even someone greater. **Chapter 769**
	+ "This town was created in an attempt to live as a cultivator once more after waking up," the man sighed as he looked around. **Chapter 779**
* Coral Forest
* Cork Island - The trees at Cork Island were quite popular as a material for making underwater vessels. **Book 8, Page 113**
* Death Pulse Current - a massive, kilometer-wide current of condensed death. **Book 8, Page 568**
* Living Pulse Current - had been given the name the Living Pulse since it could take cultivators to a series of decent opportunities for the living. **Book 8, Page 114**
* Monolith Forest - The undead factions gravitated more toward unliving materials such as the stalagmites the ghost mentioned. **Book 8, Page 114**
* Ouroboros Loop - It was yet another current, this one running perpendicular along the middle reaches. **Book 8, Page 592**
* River of Broken Ambition - one of the few currents that could take warriors from the core regions of the Twilight Ocean all the way to the far safer waters in the beginning. **Book 8, Page 567**
* Twilight Chasm
	+ The Twilight Chasm was in the absolute deepest part of the Twilight Ocean. **Book 8, Page 8**
	+ Just the surface of the Twilight Chasm had an energy density far surpassing any other area of the Twilight Ocean, and got worse the deeper you descended, from what he’d gathered. **Book 8, Page 375**

## Notable Creatures

* Raksha Shrimp - Not only that, the Raksha Shrimp species were generally considered one of the most dangerous species in the inner layer of the Twilight Ocean, according to the missives, thanks to one special ability of theirs. They could utilize a War Array. **Book 8, Page 351**
* Thram - It was far beyond any normal Beast King, to the point Zac suspected it might be approaching Monarchy. **Book 8, Page 402**

## Destruction

* "We have an hour if we're lucky. After that, the Twilight Ocean will collapse." **Chapter 777**
* The tapestry resisted, or rather the Realm Spirit did. When the wheels had turned one full circle, the Twilight Ocean would be gone, reincarnated as an avatar to his path. **Chapter 783**
* Huge scars spread across the sky, vortices leading out of the Mystic Realm. He saw how torrents of energy and matter were being dragged inside every second as the Twilight Ocean collapsed. **Chapter 784**
