Primordial Cosmology — Eternal Concept

1. Eternal Concept At the beginning of existence, before the birth of the worlds, the Sefirah, life, and all other concepts, there existed a primordial foundation known as the Eternal Concept. The Eternal Concept is the perfect unity of three fundamental principles: Yin Yang Tao These three principles are not individual beings with consciousness, personalities, or personal intentions. They are fundamental concepts that form the foundation of primordial existence. Yin and Yang possess the nature of Divergence. Divergence is the principle of separation, distinction, and the formation of differences. Through divergence, existence can separate, change, and develop into different forms. Tao possesses the nature of Convergence. Convergence is the principle of connection, attraction, and the formation of balance between different existences. Together, Yin, Yang, and Tao form a repeating primordial cycle. Divergence creates differences, while Convergence connects those differences. Through their relationship, balance can emerge and continue across immense periods of time. However, balance does not remain eternal. The perfection of the Eternal Concept does not mean that Yin and Yang must always maintain equal strength. Throughout the repeating cycle, there are periods when one of them becomes significantly stronger or weaker than the other. When Yin or Yang undergoes an extreme change, Tao can no longer maintain the previous balance between them. This does not mean that Tao loses its perfection. Instead, the balance produced by Tao cannot always remain stable against the extreme changes of Yin and Yang. Eventually, the imbalance becomes too great. The primordial unity undergoes a division. This event is known as the Primordial Division.
2. The Primordial Division The Primordial Division is the event in which the unity of the Eternal Concept separates because the balance between Yin and Yang can no longer be maintained in its previous form. The division produces two primordial fragments: Sasrir and Ourora. Sasrir and Ourora are primordial existences associated with the division of Yin and Yang. They are not individuals. They do not possess consciousness, personalities, personal desires, or independent intentions. They do not make decisions or deliberately create the world. Their existence is the result of the Primordial Division itself. The Primordial Division does not end the cycle of Divergence and Convergence. The cycle continues to repeat. The division becomes part of the repeating primordial process, allowing new structures of existence to emerge. The Primordial Division is not merely the separation of Yin and Yang. It is also the beginning of the formation of the fundamental structures that support the later cultivation world. From this primordial event, four Pillars emerge. The four Main Worlds are born. Four Sefirah come into existence. The essence of concepts begins to develop into the foundation of Uniqueness. These developments form the foundation of the world that exists after the Primordial Division.
3. The Birth of the Four Pillars Following the Primordial Division involving Sasrir and Ourora, four primordial entities emerge. They are known as the Four Pillars. The Four Pillars are primordial conceptual entities with individual identities and distinct forms of existence. Unlike Sasrir and Ourora, the Four Pillars possess identities that allow them to exist as recognizable entities. Each Pillar represents a fundamental concept. Their concepts become part of the foundation of existence, life, and the cultivation world. The Four Pillars are: Mother of Depravity Father of Mystery Mother of Visionary Father of Devil The Four Pillars are not ordinary beings born from the world. They are primordial entities whose existence originates from the Primordial Division. Their concepts become fundamental to the formation of life and the development of the world. Through Convergence, their four concepts become part of the pattern that allows life to emerge. Within this pattern: Mother of Depravity becomes the foundation of the physical body. Father of Mystery becomes the foundation of the soul. Mother of Visionary becomes the foundation of the mind. Father of Devil becomes the foundation of emotion. Together, these four aspects form the fundamental structure of living existence. The Four Pillars also become the conceptual foundations from which different cultivation paths can eventually develop. Their concepts can be interpreted in different ways, allowing multiple cultivation paths to emerge from the same primordial foundation. The Four Pillars, the four Main Worlds, the four Sefirah, and the essence of concepts are all connected to the development of existence following the Primordial Division. This marks the beginning of the primordial foundation of the cultivation world. _
4. Tao and the Origin of the Four Worlds

Tao is the fundamental principle that allows existence, concepts, and different aspects of reality to become connected through Convergence.

Within the perfect concept of The Great Old Ones, Yin, Yang, and Tao exist in perfect unity.

However, when Sasrir and Ourora were born through the division of this perfect concept, the physical element of The Great Old Ones also underwent division.

The first division produced two larger worlds whose existence remains unknown to ordinary beings.

After Sasrir and Ourora underwent further division, the elements associated with them were divided again.

This process resulted in the formation of four worlds connected to the four Pillars.

Each world possesses its own existence and conceptual foundation, yet all remain fundamentally connected through Tao.

Tao does not need to unite every world into a single existence.

Instead, Tao allows different existences to remain fundamentally connected despite their individual differences.

2. The Four Worlds and the Four Pillars

The four worlds are associated with four Pillars and the concepts that form the foundations of their existence.

Mother of Depravity is associated with the concept of physical existence and the body.

Father of Mystery is associated with the concept of the soul.

Mother of Visionary is associated with the concept of the mind.

Father of Devil is associated with the concept of emotion.

These four concepts form the foundations of various forms of existence and life within the worlds.

Each world possesses a conceptual relationship corresponding to its respective Pillar.

However, a world is not merely a physical existence.

Each world also possesses a soul and conceptual authority associated with its foundation.

3. The World, Sefirah, and Uniqueness

Within the cosmology of the four worlds, three fundamental elements exist in an interconnected relationship.

The World is its physical body.

The World is the physical existence in which everything resides.

It possesses territory, existence, and a physical foundation associated with its concept.

Sefirah is its soul.

Sefirah is the soul and fundamental foundation that sustains the existence of a world.

Sefirah is not merely a source of power.

It is the foundation that allows a world to possess existence and maintain its relationship with its corresponding concept.

Sefirah is directly connected to the world it supports.

Uniqueness is its authority.

Uniqueness is the essence of a concept and the conceptual authority associated with its corresponding world and Sefirah.

Uniqueness is not merely an ability, power, or technique.

Uniqueness is a manifestation of Tao that possesses its own conceptual essence and authority.

Therefore, the World, Sefirah, and Uniqueness possess different functions while remaining fundamentally connected.

The World is the physical body.

Sefirah is the soul.

Uniqueness is the conceptual essence and its authority.

4. Tao as the Principle and Uniqueness as Its Manifestation

Tao is the fundamental principle that allows different existences and concepts to become connected.

Uniqueness is a manifestation of Tao that possesses a particular conceptual essence.

Uniqueness is not Tao itself.

Tao remains the fundamental principle, while Uniqueness is a manifestation possessing its own conceptual identity and authority.

Each Uniqueness is connected to a concept and the Sefirah corresponding to it.

Through Uniqueness, the manifestation of Tao possesses conceptual authority over its corresponding Sefirah.

This allows each world to possess different conceptual authorities without implying that Tao has divided into multiple Taos.

Tao remains the fundamental principle that allows different manifestations and existences to remain connected.

5. The Relationship Between Uniqueness and Sefirah

Uniqueness possesses a direct relationship with its corresponding Sefirah.

Uniqueness is the key to obtaining control over Sefirah.

When someone obtains a Uniqueness corresponding to a particular Sefirah, they automatically obtain its key and control over that Sefirah.

However, the reverse relationship does not apply.

Obtaining Sefirah does not automatically grant control over its corresponding Uniqueness.

This is because Sefirah is the soul and foundation of a world, while Uniqueness is the conceptual essence and its authority.

Both possess a fundamental relationship, but controlling one does not necessarily mean controlling the other.

6. The Dual-Key System

The relationship between Uniqueness and Sefirah forms a dual-key system.

Uniqueness is the key to obtaining control over its corresponding Sefirah.

Sefirah is the key to governing the territory of the world associated with its concept.

Someone who obtains Sefirah can acquire the position of ruler over the corresponding world territory.

However, controlling Sefirah does not guarantee control over Uniqueness.

Someone may govern a world territory through Sefirah without possessing complete control over the conceptual essence that forms the foundation of Uniqueness.

Therefore, Uniqueness is the key to Sefirah, while Sefirah is the key to governing the corresponding world territory.

7. Characteristics

Characteristics are the essence, identity, and conceptual seeds that form the foundation of a conceptual path.

Characteristics are formed through extreme Convergence between three fundamental elements:

1. Uniqueness, which is a manifestation of Tao possessing conceptual essence and authority.
2. Sefirah, which is the soul and fundamental foundation of a world's existence.
3. The World, which is the physical existence in which the concept is manifested.

When Uniqueness, Sefirah, and the World reach an extreme relationship through Convergence, the conceptual essence of Uniqueness undergoes a distinctive manifestation through Sefirah and the World.

This manifestation produces Characteristics.

Characteristics are not Tao itself.

Characteristics are not Uniqueness.

Characteristics are not Sefirah.

Characteristics are conceptual identities born from the relationship between the manifestation of Tao, the soul of the world, and the physical existence of the world.

Characteristics possess essence, identity, and conceptual seeds that form the foundation of a conceptual path.

Through Characteristics, a concept can acquire a distinctive manifestation that allows individuals with their own conceptual identities to emerge, including beings known as Pillars.

8. Convergence and the Formation of Characteristics

Convergence is the principle that allows different existences and concepts to become connected.

However, the formation of Characteristics is not merely an ordinary contact between Uniqueness, Sefirah, and the World.

Characteristics are formed when the relationship between these three elements reaches an extreme state through Convergence.

At this state, the conceptual essence of Uniqueness acquires a distinctive manifestation of identity through the soul and physical existence of the World.

This manifestation becomes Characteristics.

Characteristics then become the essence, identity, and conceptual seeds that form the foundation of an individual or conceptual path.

Therefore, Characteristics are the result of an extreme relationship between the manifestation of Tao, the soul of the world, and the physical existence of the world.

9. Fundamental Principles

Tao is the fundamental principle that allows different existences and concepts to become connected.

Uniqueness is a manifestation of Tao possessing conceptual essence and authority.

The World is the physical existence in which concepts are manifested.

Sefirah is the soul and fundamental foundation of a world's existence.

Uniqueness is the key to obtaining control over its corresponding Sefirah.

Sefirah is the key to governing the world territory associated with its concept.

Possessing Sefirah does not guarantee control over Uniqueness.

Characteristics are formed through extreme Convergence between Uniqueness, Sefirah, and the World.

Characteristics are the essence, identity, and conceptual seeds that form the foundation of an individual or conceptual path.

The four worlds remain fundamentally connected through Tao, while each possesses its own foundation, soul, and conceptual authority. _ Father of Mystery — Noir

Origin

Noir was born from the Yin element of Sasrir. Although the four Pillars originated from the elements of a single Venerable, each Pillar possesses their own Yin and Yang elements.

Among the four Pillars, Noir was the first to awaken consciousness. He was the oldest and the earliest to establish his own identity.

Within his world, the individual names of the four Pillars are Noir, Blanc, Rouge, and Rubra. Noir bears the title of Father of Mystery.

Appearance

Noir possesses a masculine appearance and dresses in a simple yet indistinct manner. His entire appearance is predominantly black, symbolizing concealment within darkness.

His original face has never been witnessed by the world. He constantly conceals himself behind mist originating from Cloud Imagination, making his appearance difficult to perceive clearly.

The mist follows his movements and leaves traces with every step, creating an atmosphere of mystery and uncertainty.

His appearance reflects his nature: closed, cold, and difficult to understand.

Personality

Noir possesses a cold and reserved personality. He rarely reveals himself and maintains a considerable distance from others.

His mysterious nature is not merely a result of his appearance but also reflects his identity as the Father of Mystery.

Despite his position as the oldest Pillar, he does not openly reveal everything about himself.

Authority and Uniqueness

Noir's authority is associated with the soul.

His Uniqueness manifests as a lantern that he always carries. This lantern represents the manifestation of his will and reflects his mysterious conceptual identity.

The lantern is an essential part of his distinctive existence, accompanying him wherever he appears.

Manifestation

Whenever Noir manifests, gray mist accompanies him and leaves traces with every step.

The mist originates from Cloud Imagination and symbolizes the mystery surrounding his existence.

His presence is difficult to perceive clearly, and his original face remains concealed.

Through his appearance, lantern, and surrounding mist, Noir embodies the concept of mystery. _ Mother of Visionary — Blanc

Origin

Blanc originated from the element of Ourora.

She was born two centuries after Noir and became known as Blanc.

Among the four Pillars, she represents the concept of the Mother of Visionary.

Appearance

Blanc possesses a gentle and elegant appearance.

Her manifestation resembles a soft warmth and graceful presence, giving the impression of a gentle girl who carries authority.

Her appearance evokes the image of a Mother of the World or a Mother of Perfection, reflecting the conceptual nature associated with her existence.

Unlike the Pillars originating from Sasrir, the Uniqueness of the Pillars originating from Ourora is incorporated into their bodies.

Blanc's Uniqueness manifests as two pairs of wings on her back.

These wings symbolize her distinctive existence and create an appearance reminiscent of an angelic figure.

Personality

Blanc is gentle, elegant, and respectful toward the other Pillars.

Her respect for the other Pillars, particularly Noir, allowed her to develop a closer relationship with him.

Noir eventually gave her the name Blanc.

She regards Noir as her eldest brother and treats him with considerable respect.

Her gentle personality and graceful appearance contribute to the impression of perfection associated with her conceptual identity.

Authority and Uniqueness

Blanc's authority is associated with the mind.

Her Uniqueness is manifested through two pairs of wings that are part of her body.

Unlike the Uniqueness of the Sasrir-origin Pillars, which manifests through something they possess or carry, Blanc's Uniqueness is incorporated directly into her physical existence.

The wings represent her distinctive conceptual identity and are an inseparable part of her manifestation.

Manifestation

Blanc's manifestation possesses an elegant and angelic impression.

Her wings are a distinctive feature of her existence, reflecting the concept associated with Mother of Visionary.

The exact abilities, effects, and limitations of her wings have not yet been established.

Her appearance and Uniqueness represent her identity as one of the four Pillars. _ Father of Devil — Rouge

Origin

Rouge was born from the Yin element of Ourora.

He was born only two years after Blanc, making him considerably younger than the other Pillars.

Among the four Pillars, Rouge represents the concept of Father of Devil, embodying emotions such as arrogance, pride, anger, madness, and defiance.

His existence represents the manifestation of the Devil itself.

Appearance

Rouge possesses the appearance of an ambitious and arrogant man.

His manifestation carries an overwhelming impression of pride and defiance, reflecting his nature as a Pillar associated with emotional concepts.

Unlike Noir and Rubra, whose Uniqueness manifests externally, Rouge's Uniqueness is incorporated directly into his body, similar to Blanc.

His Uniqueness manifests as a pair of wings on his back and horns on his head.

These features represent his distinctive conceptual identity and reinforce his appearance as a manifestation of the Devil.

His wings and horns are inseparable from his physical existence, reflecting the nature of the Ourora-origin Pillars.

Personality

Rouge's personality is the complete opposite of Blanc's.

Where Blanc represents gentleness, elegance, and respect, Rouge embodies arrogance, pride, anger, madness, and rebellion.

He possesses an overwhelming sense of superiority and considers himself above others.

Rouge has little to no respect for the other two Pillars.

His arrogance and pride are not merely aspects of his behavior but are fundamental expressions of his conceptual identity.

He embodies defiance and the refusal to submit, reflecting the emotional nature of his existence.

Authority and Uniqueness

Rouge's authority is associated with emotion.

His Uniqueness manifests directly through his body, taking the form of a pair of wings and horns.

These features represent his conceptual identity as Father of Devil.

His Uniqueness is not an external object or something he carries. It is an inseparable part of his physical manifestation.

Through this manifestation, Rouge represents the emotional concepts of arrogance, anger, madness, pride, and defiance.

Manifestation

Rouge's manifestation resembles a Devil.

His appearance is dominated by an impression of ambition, arrogance, and rebellion.

If Blanc represents an angelic figure, Rouge represents her opposing counterpart: the Devil.

His existence embodies the concept of emotional defiance, expressing a nature that refuses to submit to others.

Rouge is not simply a being with a frightening appearance. His entire manifestation reflects the conceptual identity of Father of Devil. _ Mother of Depravity — Rubra

Origin

Rubra was born from the Yin element of Sasrir.

She was born two million years after Rouge.

Her birth occurred after a prolonged period of Rouge's rebellion.

Following the birth of Rubra, Rouge had remained reluctant to confront the other two Pillars simultaneously. His prolonged rebellion and the influence of his existence eventually affected Rubra.

The influence of Rouge's rebellion became deeply connected to Rubra's thoughts and personality.

As a result, Rubra's conceptual identity was influenced by Rouge, although she did not become an exact reflection of him.

Appearance

Rubra possesses a graceful and elegant appearance.

Her appearance was influenced by the concept of Mother of Visionary, giving her a gentle and refined impression.

However, the warmth and gentleness associated with Blanc do not define Rubra's personality.

Although her appearance carries an impression of elegance, her inner nature is considerably different.

Her manifestation reflects the influence of Rouge, creating a contrast between her graceful appearance and her underlying personality.

Because of this influence, Noir eventually gave her the name Rubra, meaning a deep red color.

The name reflects the influence of Rouge's red coloration upon her conceptual identity.

Personality

Rubra possesses a personality influenced by Rouge's prolonged rebellion.

Her nature is hypocritical, reflecting the contradiction between her graceful appearance and her underlying personality.

Although she retains an elegant and gentle impression, this appearance does not represent her true character.

Unlike Rouge, however, Rubra still possesses an innate sense of respect and fear toward Noir.

This respect and fear originate from her inherent nature and the fact that Noir was born considerably earlier than her.

Despite this, the four Pillars possess equal strength.

Therefore, Rubra's respect and fear toward Noir do not originate from a difference in power.

Instead, they reflect her inherent disposition and the influence of Noir's position as the earliest-born Pillar.

Authority and Uniqueness

Rubra's authority is associated with the physical body.

Unlike Blanc and Rouge, whose Uniqueness is incorporated directly into their bodies, Rubra's Uniqueness manifests externally.

Her Uniqueness resembles a robe or dress that extends around her body.

The ends of her sleeves and the edges of her garment possess tentacles.

These tentacles represent the manifestation of her authority and are associated with her conceptual identity as Mother of Depravity.

Her Uniqueness is not an ordinary garment. It is the external manifestation of her concept and authority.

Manifestation

Rubra's manifestation combines graceful elegance with the influence of Rouge.

Her appearance resembles a refined and elegant woman, reflecting the influence of Mother of Visionary.

However, her inner personality remains influenced by Rouge's rebellion, arrogance, and defiance.

Her Uniqueness manifests as a robe or dress with tentacles extending from its sleeves and edges.

Through this manifestation, Rubra embodies the concept of Mother of Depravity.

Her appearance and conceptual identity reflect the contradiction between outward elegance and inner nature. _ CULTIVATION SYSTEM

The Three Cultivation Paths and the Extreme Realm

I. The Origin of Cultivation

The cultivation system originated from the existence of the four Pillars and the development of life throughout the world.

The Pillars sought to preserve their consciousness and identities by understanding the Yin and Yang within themselves. Yin and Yang possess the nature of Divergence, while Tao possesses the nature of Convergence.

When extreme circumstances occurred, the Pillars began spreading fragments of their concepts throughout the world.

These fragments became the foundation through which life emerged.

Through Convergence, the concepts of the four Pillars combined and formed the fundamental aspects of living existence:

• Mother of Depravity represents the physical body.
• Father of Mystery represents the soul.
• Mother of Visionary represents the mind.
• Father of Devil represents emotion.

The convergence of these concepts gave rise to various races and forms of life.

As civilizations developed, living beings gradually discovered ways to cultivate their existence through the understanding of Tao and the absorption of Source Energy.

This became the foundation of cultivation.

---

II. The Foundation of Cultivation

Foundation Seed

The Foundation Seed is the starting point of cultivation.

It serves as the foundation for the growth and development of a cultivator's Characteristics.

Every cultivation path possesses its own method of developing the Foundation Seed.

Through cultivation, the Foundation Seed becomes the basis for advancement, allowing cultivators to develop their capabilities and progress through their respective realms.

Source Energy

Source Energy is the fundamental energy used in cultivation.

Cultivators absorb Source Energy to develop their cultivation and strengthen their existence.

However, the absorption of energy alone is insufficient.

Understanding Tao is also necessary for cultivation to develop properly.

The combination of Source Energy absorption and understanding Tao forms the fundamental process of cultivation.

Different cultivation paths possess different methods of utilizing Source Energy and developing their Characteristics.

Mana

Mana is the energy cultivated within the body.

Its capacity and density are important aspects of cultivation, particularly within the Ancient Cultivation Path.

As Mana becomes increasingly dense, the cultivator must strengthen their body to accommodate it.

The body therefore becomes an essential foundation for the development of Mana.

---

SEFIRAH AND THEIR WORLDS

1. Chaos Sea

Relationship with the Pillars: Chaos Sea is connected to the physical foundation of the world and the existence of concepts that can manifest through physical reality.

The World of Chaos Sea

Chaos Sea is represented by an immense ocean that appears calm but possesses the potential to contain a tremendous storm.

Its world is connected to physical existence, where life possesses bodies and tangible forms.

The sea existing within the physical world can become a manifestation of Chaos Sea's relationship with that world.

Chaos Sea is not merely about water or oceans. The ocean represents the foundation of a world that may appear stable while possessing the potential for unpredictable changes.

---

2. Cloud Imagination

Relationship with the Pillars: Cloud Imagination is connected to Noir and the mysterious existence that cannot be understood through ordinary observation.

The World of Cloud Imagination

Cloud Imagination is represented by a world covered in gray mist.

The mist is an important part of this world's existence. Something may exist within it, yet it cannot always be clearly seen or understood.

Its relationship with Noir is manifested through the gray mist that constantly conceals his face.

Cloud Imagination is a world filled with mystery, where the existence of something does not necessarily mean that it can be understood.

---

3. Abyss

Relationship with the Pillars: Abyss is connected to Rouge and Rubra's condition following the war between the Four Pillars.

The World of Abyss

Abyss is connected to the Underworld, where Rouge resides after being imprisoned following the war.

This world is also where part of Rubra's consciousness exists after her existence was divided during the war.

Therefore, Abyss is connected to two important existences:

• Rouge, who resides in the Underworld after the war.
• A portion of Rubra's consciousness, which resides within Abyss after being divided.

Abyss becomes one of the places connected to the aftermath of the war between the Four Pillars.

However, the complete nature of Abyss, its inhabitants, and its territorial structure have not yet been established.

---

4. Astral World

Relationship with the Pillars: Astral World is connected to Blanc and a portion of Rubra's consciousness following the war.

The World of Astral World

Astral World is a realm connected to Blanc.

Following the war between the Four Pillars, a portion of Rubra's consciousness resides within Astral World, while another portion exists within Abyss.

Therefore, Astral World becomes one of the places connected to Rubra's existence after the war.

Astral World and Abyss are connected through Rubra's condition, but they remain separate realms.

The complete nature of Astral World, its territorial structure, and the lifeforms inhabiting it have not yet been established.

---

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FOUR SEFIRAH

Sefirah| Associated World| Primary Relationship Chaos Sea| Physical World| Foundation of physical existence Cloud Imagination| Mist-covered World| Mystery and Noir's existence Abyss| Underworld| Rouge and a portion of Rubra's consciousness Astral World| Astral Realm| Blanc and a portion of Rubra's consciousness

Additional Notes

The descriptions of Abyss and Astral World do not establish their complete geography, structures, inhabitants, or special rules.

Their relationship with Rouge, Blanc, and Rubra is based on the established history of the Four Pillars.

The visual descriptions are intended only as atmospheric references and do not introduce additional lore or abilities. _

III. The Three Cultivation Paths

There are three major cultivation paths that developed throughout the history of the cultivation world.

Each path possesses its own cultivation method, characteristics, and realm progression.

1. Ancient Cultivation Path

The Ancient Cultivation Path was originally developed by Father of Mystery, Noir.

It was the earliest known cultivation method and was initially called the Tao Cultivation Path.

As civilization developed and other cultivation paths emerged, the original Tao Cultivation Path became known as the Ancient Cultivation Path.

It is regarded as one of the most powerful cultivation methods, but its development is also extremely demanding.

The Ancient Cultivation Path focuses primarily on increasing Mana capacity and density.

Cultivators absorb Source Energy and develop their understanding of Tao while continuously compressing Mana within their bodies.

When Mana reaches a certain density, the cultivator must strengthen their physical body to accommodate the increasing energy.

As a result, cultivators of the Ancient Cultivation Path generally possess greater physical endurance and stronger bodies compared to cultivators of other paths.

Its cultivation progression follows the Star Realm system.

The Ancient Cultivation Path progresses from:

1 Star 2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star 6 Star 7 Star 8 Star 9 Star 10 Star 11 Star

Each Star represents a stage of cultivation advancement.

The Ancient Cultivation Path is powerful, but its extreme demands make it dangerous for cultivators.

2. Path of Death

The Path of Death was developed by Father of Devil, Rouge, with the participation of Mother of Depravity, Rubra.

It emerged after the development of the Ancient Cultivation Path.

The Path of Death is associated with the madness of the Devil and the influence of Father of Devil and Mother of Depravity.

Its cultivation is characterized by loss, abnormal circumstances, madness, and extreme manifestations through slaughter.

The Path of Death possesses the same Star Realm progression as the Ancient Cultivation Path.

Its advancement follows:

1 Star 2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star 6 Star 7 Star 8 Star 9 Star 10 Star 11 Star

Although its realm progression resembles the Ancient Cultivation Path, its cultivation method and manifestations are different.

The Path of Death represents a distinct cultivation method based on its own conceptual foundation.

3. Heavenly Tao Path

The Heavenly Tao Path was developed jointly by Mother of Visionary, Blanc, and Father of Mystery, Noir.

It emerged after the development of the Ancient Cultivation Path.

The extreme demands of the Ancient Cultivation Path caused many living beings to seek alternative cultivation methods.

In response, Noir and Blanc developed a more complex cultivation system.

This system became known as the Heavenly Tao Path.

Unlike the Ancient Cultivation Path, which primarily emphasizes Mana capacity, Mana density, and physical endurance, the Heavenly Tao Path follows a different and more complex cultivation progression.

Its realm progression follows the numerical sequence:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

The Heavenly Tao Path progresses from Realm 10 toward Realm 0.

Its cultivation method differs from the Ancient Cultivation Path and the Path of Death.

---

IV. The Extreme Realm

The Extreme Realm is a manifestation of the cultivator's own consciousness and will.

It is not a cultivation path developed by the Pillars.

Unlike the three major cultivation paths, the Extreme Realm originates from the cultivator themselves.

It represents an extreme manifestation of their will under extraordinary circumstances.

The Extreme Realm can emerge within any cultivation path.

A cultivator of the Ancient Cultivation Path may awaken the Extreme Realm.

A cultivator of the Path of Death may also awaken it.

Likewise, a cultivator of the Heavenly Tao Path may experience the Extreme Realm.

The Extreme Realm does not replace the cultivator's original path.

Instead, it becomes an extreme and upgraded manifestation of that path.

Awakening the Extreme Realm

The Extreme Realm may emerge when a cultivator experiences an extraordinary breakthrough while facing an extreme situation.

Its awakening is influenced by the cultivator's consciousness, emotions, will, and circumstances.

Examples include:

• Facing the boundary between life and death.
• Experiencing overwhelming emotional circumstances.
• Possessing an unwavering desire, hope, or determination.
• Breaking through a cultivation bottleneck under extreme conditions.

The awakening of the Extreme Realm is not an ordinary cultivation advancement.

It occurs when the cultivator's will manifests under extraordinary circumstances.

The Extreme Realm as an Upgrade

The Extreme Realm enhances the cultivation path that the cultivator already possesses.

It does not create a separate cultivation path.

For example, a cultivator of the Ancient Cultivation Path who awakens the Extreme Realm continues to cultivate through the Ancient Cultivation Path.

However, their cultivation becomes an extreme manifestation of that path.

Their advancement requires more Mana than an ordinary cultivator following the same cultivation path.

The Extreme Realm therefore provides greater advantages while also increasing the demands of cultivation.

Its manifestation remains connected to the cultivator's original path.

Advancement After Awakening

After awakening the Extreme Realm, the cultivator must continue developing through the conditions associated with its initial awakening.

The nature of the original awakening influences subsequent advancement.

For example, if the Extreme Realm initially awakens through an extraordinary desire to survive while facing death, subsequent advancement requires circumstances corresponding to that original manifestation.

The Extreme Realm is therefore not simply a permanent increase in power.

It is a distinct cultivation condition that requires the cultivator to continue fulfilling its underlying requirements.

The awakening also consumes the cultivator's essence or cultivation seed, making the process dangerous.

The Extreme Realm and Source Energy

The Extreme Realm possesses different cultivation requirements from ordinary advancement through the three major paths.

Its development involves Source Energy directly.

The cultivator must continue fulfilling the conditions of their Extreme Realm while advancing through their original cultivation path.

The amount of Mana or energy required for advancement becomes greater than that of ordinary cultivators following the same path.

---

V. The Structure of Cultivation

The cultivation world possesses three major cultivation paths:

1. Ancient Cultivation Path — Star Realm 1 to 11.
2. Path of Death — Star Realm 1 to 11.
3. Heavenly Tao Path — Realm 10 to 0.

The Extreme Realm is not a fourth cultivation path.

It is an extreme manifestation of the cultivator's own will that can emerge within any of the three cultivation paths.

Each cultivator continues following their original cultivation path, while the Extreme Realm represents an upgraded and more demanding manifestation of that path.

The cultivation system therefore consists of three major paths and one exceptional cultivation condition known as the Extreme Realm.
