"One World", was a world akin to a universe, infinitely encompassing without boundary. There was no existence of cosmos but only this world did exist.
Different kinds of legendary creatures and species occupied everywhere and the world was completely overcrowded with living beings.
To escape from the fate of being ultimately destroyed because of overpopulation, the world resisted by creating the Heavenly Dao of Death a spirit.
The entity was formed entirely of black mass, relentlessly absorbing anything in sight and leaving behind only oblivion.
It could even spawn black spirits as its minions, establishing its own extremely enormous army.
He was named the "Dark Progenitor", the original source of all dark and evil.
Threatened by the death looming over them, the inhabitants unified and gathered their most powerful individuals to fight the evil being.
The war was then called "The Great Primordial War", ending with the loss of countless experts and a collapsed world divided into fourteen humongous fragments.
Unfortunately, they could not kill the evil being but only managed to seal it into the empty oblivion, turning into the mysterious and limitless "cosmos" while his souls were scattered in infinite numbers to form the countless stars.
They filled the unlimited space, shining with extremely brilliant light resembling as a white sky.
His aura was so powerful that it continued to leak out permanently and was called "chaos", a unique and different element apart from the Heavenly Daos: life, death, fate, time, fire, water, wind, lightning, earth, and space.
As how the ocean reflected the sky, the new Heavenly Dao reflected the starlight and appeared like snow white cottons.
This created the "Heavens" while the enormous earth fragments formed as the "Earth".
As of now, "Heaven and Earth" existed.
Putting it into an analogy, the earth fragments appeared like islands floating in the middle of a clouded sky and were named "The Fourteen Continents".
Unbeknownst to everyone, a residual soul of the Dao of Death's spirit had miraculously managed to stay alive and escape to hide in the deepest reaches of the cosmos. For countless years it drifted into space, seemingly eternally searching for a host to dwell inside.
Until it finally found a perfect successor, located in one of the Fourteen Continents, the Hell Devouring Evil Continent.
It was a parentless young boy in the slums, desperately trying to search for food to eat.
With only himself to depend on, he engaged on cruel and vicious means merely to stay alive. He rose from the dirt and finally gained a stable foothold in the society.
But he desired more and decided to take the step on the path to become an immortal.
Yet heaven was not kind to him as he didn't possess spiritual root, the core factor for absorbing "spiritual Qi" - the essential energy required to cultivate.
He began to curse his fate and blame everything on this darn universe.
He began to filled with thought that if he possessed enough power to erase everything and re-do it, he would certainly accomplish it.
The miracle happened as suddenly he transformed to an entirely different person, having the pinnacle of talents.
He owned divine veins, divine root, and not to mention the ability to absorb anything and empower himself. It was a martial spirit he called as "Gluttony" and because of it, he rapidly ascended in cultivation and reached the apex.
This sudden turn of his life was not without help. The soul of the dark progenitor had utterly changed him and with the goal of releasing his benefactor, he formed a team and called it, the "Seven Cardinal Sins" (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride).
Driven by their evil pursuit, they encountered their rivals, "The Seven Heavenly Virtues" (Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility), which another great war took place again and called "The War of The Ancients".
Each alliance ruled half of the fourteen continents and endless wars were waged, ocean of blood spilled, and countless lives were reaped.
When the Seven Cardinal Sins was about to be totally defeated, the Sin of Gluttony, had finally absorbed the last star of the cosmos.
He unlocked the Dark Progenitor's seal and once again, the whole universe descended into a pure state of chaos.
The True Mother woke up by her children's cries and felt extremely guilty because everything was her fault the first place.
She had spent most of her energy to grant spirit to the Heavenly Dao of Death and now gathered the last bit of it to create another spirit to its counterpart, the Heavenly Dao of Life.
It was the source of all holy and light, the "Light Progenitor."
The two supreme beings carried extremely powerful momentum and clashed with each other.
As a result, the heavens and earth gravelly shook and all beings felt as if end was coming.
It even came to a point that the Hell Devouring Evil Continent, which was near to the source of battle, collapsed into countless tiny pieces and turned into planets.
The Fourteen Continents became the Thirteen Continents.
Finally, it ended with a draw with the two of them perished. The Light Progenitor's remains became a realm, the "Heavens", while the Dark Progenitor's remains became yet another realm, the "Netherworld".
Their omnipresent aura led for the chaos energy to be further evolved and was the catalyst for the other heavenly Daos to create heavenly bodies.
Along with the Thirteen Continents and the broken fragments of the Lost Continent, they formed a realm called "Earth".
Hence, "Three Realms" was formed.
