120 million years ago, this world had Nine Heavens, which included fairies, immortals, cultivators. There were no human cultivators. The renowned bloodlines and nobility, mermaids of the sea, foxes, phoenixes, white tigers, reincarnation, and life and death were all part of the Immortal Realm called Shangtian Qianli, which was full of spiritual energy that nourished spiritual roots. Humans were just like ants who worshipped the immortals as myths, and those who practiced demonic energy were part of the Demon Realm. The Nine Heavens had only three realms: Heavenly, Demon, and Human Realm.
After the Nine Heavens were sealed, the renowned bloodlines stayed in the Upper Realm, and the reincarnation and life-and-death matters were controlled by the Lower Heavenly Realm. Humans were allowed to cultivate, sects were created, the real architecture and many saints of the previous realms were sealed inside the Nine Heavens Pillar. Thus, the only ones who were outside the seal and powerful enough were Divine Lord Si Nuya and the new Demon King Lingfeng Moqian. There is no Heavenly Emperor, but Heavenly Emissary Li Lian is handling all the affairs.
