Outer Universe

Primarily referred to as the **3,000 Worlds** by its inhabitants, the Outer Universe is first mentioned as the higher world the Flowing Time Great Emperor entered after he broke out of the fetter of Star Boundary. For the most part, it is a massive collection of Starry Skies consisting of innumerable worlds and countless trillions of lives.

An easy way to understand the Outer Universe is to see it as an endless collection of connected and supermassive Star Fields. As a Universe World (i.e. “**Inner Universe**”), Star Boundary to the Outer Universe is almost like a Cultivation Star to the entirety of the Star Fields combined. Of course, on an incomparably larger scale, with each individual domain being referred to as a **Great Territory**.

The infinitely vast Outer Universe is made up of countless Great Territories, and they are often home to numerous Universe Worlds, Stars, and/or Spirit Provinces (pictured). Though they naturally often harbor far more extraordinary dangers, Great Territories are very clean in comparison to the meteorite and debris-filled Starry Skies of Star Fields.

The influence demographic of the 3,000 Worlds can be split into 3 ranks:

* 1st Class - These influences have several High Rank Open Heaven Realm masters in command, and the most venerated of these masters are often addressed as **Divine Monarchs**. There are 108 of these influences, and they are known as the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Paradises. An influence must be a Cave Heaven or Paradise to be considered 1st Class.
* 2nd Class - Under Cave Heavens/Paradises, these influences have **at least** a Middle Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivator in command. A Middle Rank Open Heaven Realm leader is addressed as a **Heavenly Monarch**. This is the most numerous influence demographic in the 3,000 Worlds.
* 3rd Class - These influences are lead by Low Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivators. A Sect Master that is Low Rank Open Heaven Realm or below is known as a **True Monarch**.

Due to certain circumstances, the few and rarely seen 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm Ancestors of Cave Heavens and Paradises constitute the top powerhouses of the Outer Universe. Likewise, historically, 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivators are virtually never seen in the 3,000 Worlds.

Eventually, it is discovered by Yang Kai that the 3,000 Worlds is just one of many worlds born from the Universe Furnace, which resides within boundless **Chaos**.

## Structure

### Great Territory

The primary domains of the 3,000 Worlds, Great Territories are commonly ruled by either a 1st or 2nd Class Influence, and they are usually named after one of these influences. If a Great Territory doesn't have at least a 2nd Class Influence, it is given a code name instead (ex: A-1, E-5). Every Great Territory has a Territory Gate required to enter it.

Great Territories each have varying amounts of Universe Worlds, Spirit Provinces, and Influences. New Great Territories are highly sought after because they are often rich in resources and filled with young, talent-filled, and unique Universe Worlds. Known Great Territories are listed below:

* Void Territory
* High Heaven Territory
* Myriad Monster Territory
i.e. New Great Territory (Formerly)

### Universe World

Also known as “**Inner Universes**” or the "**Worlds of Mortals**," countless Universe Worlds are found throughout the Outer Universe's many Great Territories. Containing trillions of lives, each Universe World has its own unique and complete set of World Principles, which determine the limits of their Martial Dao/Heavenly Way and overall strength. Universe Worlds usually fall under the control and protection of the Influence that rules over their respective Great Territory, and they are each often represented by their Universe's Great Emperors. A few notable examples of Universe Worlds are listed below:

* Star Boundary
* Demon Realm
* Blue Clouds Continent
* Nine Nether Continent
* Small Stone World
* Three Brilliant World
* Golden Sun Continent
* Thousand Thoughts World
* Black River World
* Prison Star
* Profound Abundant World
* Myriad Monster World
* Primordial World

### Universe Temple

Constructed in the Antiquity by Great Experts, Universe Temples are special constructs that allow anyone who leaves their mark within one to teleport to them from anywhere within the respective Great Territory in which they lie. Because of their extraordinary and extremely valuable capability, Universe Temples are heavily guarded by the Cave Heavens and Paradises, whom allow absolutely no fighting within them. Due to this, Universe Temples are used as a life-saving escape route by many cultivators, and are usually occupied with various Shops for the use of visiting travelers.

### Star City

The major economic and trading centers of the 3,000 Worlds, Star Cities are normally named after the ruling influence of their respective Great Territory. However, the influence by which a Star City is named may not actually rule over or control that Star City, as is commonly seen with 2nd Class named Great Territories that are actually under the control of Cave Heavens or Paradises.

### Universe Chart

Because of the incredible length and breadth of the 3,000 Worlds, Universe Charts are created for cultivators to navigate their way through the Outer Universe’s several Great Territories and countless Universe Worlds. Universe Charts come in either a static or more expensive upgradable form. It is usually seen as a waste by those with lower income to buy an upgradable Universe Chart, as new Great Territories are rarely ever discovered.

### Chaotic Dead Territory

These are Great Territories that have been destroyed by the battle of Sun's Burning Light and Moon's Serene Glimmer. These areas carry the massively destructive energies of these divine beings, but if one is able to enter one under protection, they can acquire countless High Rank Yin and Yang Attribute resources from the consolidation of these energies.

Giant Spirit Gods are attracted to these Territories, as they can feed on the many dead Universe Worlds they contain. Even Cave Heaven/Paradise 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm Ancestors cannot enter these Territories, and must simply watch from the outside of a Chaotic Dead Territory‘s gate in order to determine whether they need to evacuate further.

### Notable Locations

* Great Ruins Boundary
* Blood Monster Cave Heaven (Former)
* Shattered Heaven
* Ancestral Land
* Ink Battlefield
* Spatial Territory
* Universe Furnace (Entrance)

## Supreme Existences

The Outer Universe is home to many strange creatures and extraordinarily powerful beings. However, certain beings rank/ranked far beyond the limits of the 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm. Having been said to exist since the beginning of the 3,000 Worlds, these beings are/were known to rank Supreme:

### Primordial Entities:

* World Tree
* Ink
* Primordial Light: Possibly a near Creation Realm-level entity and the antithesis of Ink, the Primordial Light was long ago split into Sun's Burning Light, Moon's Serene Glimmer, Heaven's Order's Original Ancestor, and all Divine Spirit Clans.

### Unusual Animals/Beasts:

* Giant Spirit Gods - Extraordinarily powerful yet peaceful beings, Giant Spirit Gods are inferred by Yang Kai to be primarily responsible for the absence of debris in the 3,000 Worlds’ countless Great Territories due to their Natural Divine Ability to consume dead Universe Worlds.

### Supreme Being

* Yang Kai - After promoting to the World Creation Realm, Yang Kai becomes the strongest known being to ever exist within the 3,000 Worlds.
