With a single command from the Heavenly Emperor, the former Continent of the Nine Provinces was transformed into the Four Divine Continents. Together with the Immortal Realm and the Underworld, they became known as the Middle Heaven Great World, towering high above the Three Thousand Worlds.
A drastic upheaval shook the mortal realm; mountains and rivers shifted, the cosmos reversed, and the three ancestral dragon ley lines of Kunlun, Buzhou, and Mangyin underwent varying degrees of readjustment.
The Four Divine Continents, also known as the Four Regions or the Four Quarters, were positioned according to the four cardinal directions:
In the East: Jambu Dvipa (or rather, the continent of superior spirits) — wait, specifically:
East: Purvavideha;
South: Jambudvipa;
West: Aparagodaniya;
North: Uttarakuru.
