The divine realm with a history as long as this world it's self has only ever faced destruction twice.
Once just as it had been created by the heavens and the divine order of the gods and the second time at the hands of the three lords.
Some might not know how the gods survived or simply think that they were just that powerful but how could those old primordial gods not know as they had lived through it.
Luck , yes ,it was all luck yet to keep face they changed history to suit their wishes.
The three lords were known for having equalled the gods in not only strength but also followers .though the followers were not as powerful as the gods , they made up for it with their ingenuity and wit .
Be it snick attacks or assassination all was used and there was no low for the humans.
If it could be used , it was used and just as they gained the upper hand , a stroke of luck in favor of the gods appeared, the first high god was born directly suppressing the three lords of the mortals.after a series of bloody defeats, the three lords made a bold move, sacrificing their blood , bones , cultivation and dao to form a barrier strong enough to withstand the power of a high god as though that wasn't enough, three hundred sixty five million followers chose to join them in death strengthening the barrier even more. The barrier covered thirty percent of the world containing their students , legacies and millions of realms that could support life.
Over a period of epochs, the barrier grew stronger yet with the help of primordial blood they managed to sneak in a few high gods yet they dropped in realm.
These individuals incited wars weakening the mortals side as well as demanded faith from them .
It had practically become their backyard yet just recently all communication was lost as well as the paths to the realm being severed.
Even the god mirror , a primordial artifact was shrouded in fog all with in a short period of five thousand years . as though karma biting back the proclamation of the world will of the creation of a new path sent shivers down their spines.yet what could they do , the primordials had even tried to personally break the barrier only to be struck by tribulation lightning..
The fact that in order to produce a primordial, a significant portion of the heavens is devoured didn't put us in the good books of either the world will or the heavenly dao.
This was further exersterbated by the fact that these mortals created a cultivation system that not only was somewhat in line with the heavens but also studied from it.
It reached a point where the descendant of a primordial made a race that was perfectly attuned to the earth and heavens calling themselves elves.
Even when they schemed against the elves , the best that could be done was weaken them down the generation by infecting their bloodline.
