The current world is called Aecrath and it was completely dominated by humans. It has four provinces namely Aswor, Astil, Uchil and Oclar.
These four provinces are ruled by the four major sects.
Blazing inferno sect looks after Aswor province, Uchi is looked after by Terra nova sect. The Bizarre Zephyr sect and The true lake sect dominates Astril and Oclar respectively.
Other than these provinces, there were many islands of which some were under the control of the powerful wandering cultivators and the remaining islands are the habitats of other races.
As long as they were inside those habitats, the humans could not kill them no matter how powerful the humans became.
These are the general things known to the entire world.
According to the common people, everything looks peaceful on the surface; however, deep inside their hearts, they know they could lose their lives at any instant of time.
