After the creation of the world, existence was divided into three great realms —
the Human Realm, the Magic Realm, and the Spirit Realm.
Between them lay a fragile veil, upheld by divine power.
Only beings of supreme strength could cross its boundaries.
As ages passed, the veil began to fracture.
Through those cracks, a path to the Magic Realm was revealed.
The strongest martial cultivators stepped through… and were reborn into a world beyond mortal understanding.
Upon arrival, their bodies underwent a mysterious metamorphosis.
Within them formed a sacred crystal of power — the Qi Stone, later known as the Divine Imprint.
With it, they gained the ability to sense the Qi of heaven and earth, and wield it as their own.
Thus began the path of ascension:
Martial Cultivator → Magic → Astral → Transcendent → Ascendant → Celestial Cultivator → Immortal → Demigod → Deity → God
As Qi flowed through their souls, an ancient mechanism awakened within them — the legendary Gate of Heaven.
The Gate possessed ten sealed tiers.
Each tier could only be opened through the refinement of Qi essence.
Those who walked this endless road of evolution became known as Cultivators.
With time, the veil to the Spirit Realm solidified completely. No mortal could enter it again.
Only those who reached the Immortal Realm and beyond could send forth their Spirit Self into that chaotic domain in search of transcendence.
The Spirit Realm was a land ruled by savage beasts and ancient divine entities, each ranked from Level 1 to Level 10.
Within their bodies existed Qi Stones.
By slaying them and absorbing their essence, cultivators could accelerate their evolution.
As mortals rose beyond divinity, Deities became Gods.
And from their will… sects, empires, and destinies were born.
