Realm Structure
In the boundless cosmos lies Four Grand Realms, each like a layered heaven and abyss:
1. Mortal Realm (凡尘界 — Fan Chen Jie)
The world of men and aspiring cultivators. The birthplace of Martial Souls.
2. Immortal Realm (仙境界 — Xian Jing Jie)
A dimension of undying beings where elemental laws are mastered, and mortal flesh is left behind.
3. Divine Realm (神域界 — Shen Yu Jie)
A sanctuary for Soul Deities who reign over life, death, and void.

A celestial vacuum where eternal laws kneel, and time itself ceases to exist.
