At this moment, the Nine States, having merged so many territories, could already be considered a Mini Primordial World. It might also be called the Nine States World, a top-tier realm within the Vast Universe.
Meanwhile, the Three Realms—having lost so many territories—could be said to exist in name only. Apart from Dongsheng Divine Continent, the Heavenly Realm, and the Netherworld, there was hardly anything left of the Three Realms.
Though it exists in name only, it still retains some semblance of an identity. However, if Jiang Chen were to extract the Netherworld from the framework of the Three Realms, the Three Realms would truly be forgotten, completely relegated to the past.
The Three Realms represent Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
Thus, as long as the Netherworld remains, even if eighty percent of the Human Realm has diminished, the Three Realms will still remain Three Realms. Dongsheng Divine Continent, after all, is adequate as a replacement for the Human Realm.
