All the heavens and myriad realms share the same origin: the Soul Nexus is the sole fundamental Dao of the universe.
In the ancient heavens, all races lived together and the realms were connected. Humanity controlled the central Soul Core of the heavens, governing all races, balancing the Dao, and maintaining order across the realms. They were the guardians of civilization throughout the heavens.
Eighteen thousand years ago, the Outer Void Chaos descended, giving birth to the ultimate calamity of the heavens: the Order-Eaters.
The Order-Eaters were fated to devour the laws of the Dao, tear apart the order of worlds, and annihilate the civilizations of all living beings. They had no emotions or goodwill, only destruction and assimilation.
The ancient supreme beings of the heavens and the mighty experts of every race gave everything they had. They sacrificed their souls, detonated the heavens, and severed the realms, sealing the main rift in the Chaos with their own broken bodies. They shattered the once-whole heavens into:
The Central Heavens Nexus, the Four Symbols Supreme Domains, 108 affiliated star domains, 3,000 minor domains, and the endless void-abyss belt.
When the war ended, the central Soul Core of the heavens shattered, scattering across the realms and transforming into billions of innate Soul Nexuses.
The laws of the universe were remade: at eighteen, every mortal awakens an innate Soul Nexus. One soul, one profession; one nexus, one art; one life, one fate.
