Firmament

The highest realm above Forsaken Continent where gods live.

It is entered through the vortex in the Hall of Gods.

The first time that the receding of spiritual energy occurred was around forty to fifty years ago. Back then, the skies fell, and earth sank. An entire half of the sky collapsed. Water rained down relentlessly and flooded the earth, causing great casualties. Eventually, the God Monarchs who guarded the north, south, east, and west slew the World Tortoise and used its four limbs as pillars to prop up the sky, thus bringing the world back to stability.

The Firmament can be divided into nine major powers, and they are collectively known as the Nine Skies Ten Monarchs:
