The Chessboard of the Heavens: Beyond the Ninefold Heavens dwell eight eternal players, who use the Myriad Worlds as their chessboard in a struggle spanning entire eras. At the end of each era, the winner is decided, and the losing world is erased from existence.
The Law of Fortune: The essence of a world takes shape as golden threads of fortune. Cultivators can plunder others' fortune to break through to higher realms, but must bear the karmic consequences of those whose fortune they steal.
The Fatebreaker: A rare anomaly appearing once every million years, with the unique ability to sever golden threads of fortune without incurring karma. The only being capable of breaking the balance of the game.
The Forbidden Domains of Heavenly Retribution: Twelve taboo regions where the laws are in disarray. Hidden within them are the embers of civilizations that survived previous eras, along with secret arts for defying Heaven's will.
