Three Realms

The **Three Realms** was the Chaosworld/Universe that was created after the destruction of the Pangu Chaosworld/Universe and Seamless Chaosworld/Universe when they collided with each other. The Worldheart of the Three Realms was created from the fragments from the two Chaosworlds/Universes. It is just one of the Countless Chaos Worlds in the endless Primordial Chaos.

Pangu Chaosworld and the Seamless Chaosworld were both created from Autarch godgems. These godgems were merely 2 in a set of 108,000 from Autarch Awakener who arranged for them to disperse them throughout the chaosverse if he failed to bind the chaosverse to himself.

## Background

During the tribulation that left the Primordial World in shambles, many Daofathers and True Gods, including Daoist Threelives, perished. Nuwa, along with other Daofathers, repaired the remains of the Primordial World to some extent and created the Three Realms.

Due to the fact that the three realms was created from the collision of two Autarch godgems, the creatures that were alive during the war that ended the Primordial Era and were born during the Three Realms Era were blessed with incredible talent. The fragments from the two godgems melted away and their power was dispersed upon the countless living beings in the new world.

## Structure

As the name suggests, it contains three realms: Deva Realm, Mortal Realm and Netherworld Kingdom.

The Deva Realm was created to be the most powerful of the three realms and act as an enforcer to maintain order in the Mortal Realm and minimize or even eliminate fighting amongst Daofathers and their legions.

The Mortal Realm was created to generate life inside the Three Realms as it has a vastly superior population than the Deva Realm due to its thousands of major worlds and trillions of minor worlds.

The Netherworld Kingdom was created to guide the souls of the deceased towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reborn into the Deva Realm or the Mortal Realm or be tortured within the Netherworld Kingdom, itself, for all eternity. This was decided based on whether one had committed more sins or more good deeds. It has thousands of Judges to decide upon this matter with the Lord of Cui Palace being the most powerful.

The Three Realms is the setting for the Desolate Era Books, many of the people, techniques and locations are drawn from ancient Chinese myths as well as from the beliefs and legends of both Buddhism and Taoism. The world expands as Ji Ning travels beyond the Three Realms.

## Description

The Three Realms consists of three distinct areas, the Netherworld Kingdom, the Heaven Realm and the Mortal Realms and it contains many races including Devas, Asuras, Monsters and Humans.

It orginiated from the Pangu Chaos World and Seanless Chaos World's Collision from the Primordial Era.
