Chapter 804 The Gorethorn Wastes

• After the continents merged, the new world divided itself into three vast regions: the Mortal World, the Spirit Beast Realm, and the Demon Realm. The powers along the borders immediately began negotiating to avoid all-out war—at least for now. No one could afford a large-scale conflict so soon; it would ruin everyone.
• The Mortal World was the largest, teeming with the greatest number of humans. It was further divided into five major territories—east, south, west, north, and center. Without teleportation arrays, even a supreme cultivator would need 20 or 30 years to fly from the south to the east. Crossing the entire Mortal World would take far longer, not to mention traveling between realms.
• The Astral Continent lay in the southern region, home to two Noble Bloodlines and two ancient Sacred Domains. Those four now dominated the south, controlling countless sects and clans. Other old powers, unwilling to be left out, carved off pieces of territory for themselves, splitting the southern resources among them.
