Chapter 1 - ⚙️ WORLD EXPLANATION – XUANTIAN REALM (玄天界)

🌌 1. World and Structure

The Xuantian Realm is divided into three layers of existence:

凡界 (Fánjiè) – Mortal Veil A human world that combines futuristic technology with ancient spiritual traditions. Floating cities, spirit-sealed machines, and weapons are controlled with the Lingyuan Circuit.

霊域 (Língyù) – Spirit Domain A spirit realm where souls and immortal entities live. Access is through the "Celestial Rift", a rift between reality and time.

湮淵 (Yānyuān) – Aether Abyss A dimension of darkness where ancient power is sealed. This is where Atyreus sleeps.

🌀 2. Core Energy: Lingyuan (灵源)

Lingyuan is the life energy that is interwoven within every living creature. It can be purified, controlled, and transformed into physical forms. Every Lingyuan user possesses their own spiritual color, which determines their power affinity—lightning, time, shadow, fire, or void.

⚔️3. Power Levels — The Five Ascensions (五阶升华)

炼气 (Lian Qi / Refinement) — strengthening the body and spiritual consciousness.

灵道 (Lingdao / Spirit Path) — controlling external elements and energy.

元海 (Yuanhai / Origin Sea) — creating an "origin sea" within the self to manipulate limited reality.

先天 (Xiantian / Pre-Heaven) — breaking through the boundaries of space and time.

圣劫 (Shengjie / Divine Tribulation) — transcending nature, challenging the will of heaven.

But legend mentions a sixth level —

无尽 (Wujin / The Endless) — the stage of existential erasure, which can only be achieved by sacrificing a world.
