• Pi Xiang Hall - an abandoned theater.

• TianJi Pavillion - contains defense maps and is where military affairs takes place.

∆ The God Realm

I think it was not mentioned a lot in the drama. 

But I think as opposed to the Greater Gods, it is home to the Other Gods and War Generals like:

• Marshal Hou De, Commander of the Heavenly Soldiers. He's also an experienced immortal of the Heavenly Court. He can no longer eat his favorite Chicken Drumsticks... :((

∆ The Demon Realm

 - A heartless place that discards their Soldiers/Spies easily.

- They stand to believe that the Supreme God is muddleheaded and Gods and Immortals are overbearing people spreading a "disease". 

~ Inhabitants:

• Xuan Xiang, The Supreme Master of the Demon Realm - He was described as Indecisive and a Coward by his people yet

- is actually deceitful or two-faced.

 • Elder Zhan Yi - Had an affair with Immortal Si Xuan. 

 • Elder Shuohua - An advisor to the Demon King and is highly respected by the Demon Soldiers

 • ??? - A respected guest of Elder Shuohua

✓ Lands:

• Soul Devouring Valley

∆ Mortal Realm

- Is where Gods, Fairies, Immortals, Demons and the like undergo 5 Sufferings, 6 Delusions, 7 Emotions, and 8 Hardships before Ascending as a Higher God.

∆ The Hades/Underworld Realm 

& ∆ The Spirit Realm

Not sure but I think they "assisted" the demon realm against the divine realm during the most recent war or vice versa. Which eventually lead to their annihilation.

♢ Other Well Known Clans

Thank you for being a life saver, this is gonna be my go-to notes when confusion strikes ٩(ˊᗜˋ)و ♡

Um no... Hades is a Greek God ಠ_ಠ and that's the God Realm AND the Immortal Realm.  ML is a god and FL is a Immortal 

 Euphoria:

Um no... Hades is a Greek God ಠ_ಠ and that's the God Realm AND the Immortal Realm.  ML is a god and FL is a Immortal 

I don't want to laugh but this isn't Greek mythology. Also the FL was born a deity whereas the ML is one of the greater gods ( I have a feeling there is another story behind him). There is no Immortal Realm only Divine. As for the Hades Realm we haven't gotten any explanation on that realm yet.

 Euphoria:

Exactly, isn't Greek mythology so stop using Greek names. Stop involving an unrelated religion to Chinese stuff. They are two different things. Greek is overrated and overused.  Chinese is Chinese, Greek is Greek.

 And actually the "Xian" realm is actually translate as immortal and the "Shen" realm is translated as God. In Chinese there's a difference between Xian (immortal) and Shen (god) 

Hello, it is indeed “Hades Realm” according to english subtitles on kiss**.me. However, I am not sure if this subtitles was different on the Youku App Subtitles. Regardless, We only shared what we have read and seen on the english subtitles of the drama. You can verify in Ep 1 and Ep 7 since it will be mentioned in there. 

 Euphoria:

Wdym by snail girl??

Its YingYuan’s pseudonym when he sends letters/comments for Yang Dan’s book . Or I think its what YuMo and YangDan named the mysterious helper/sender which is YingYuan. You can see the subtitles of it on Ep6.
