Chen Shi fell into deep contemplation.
The events that followed were unknown to Daoist Qingyuan, but he himself knew them with absolute clarity.
The True God perceived the impact of the evil Qi between heaven and earth on cultivators, so he visited Despair Slope, comprehended a new method within it, and obtained the Innate Dao Embryo, which aroused the Heavenly Venerate's wariness.
Later, the True God from Beyond the Heavens fell into death, closed his eyes, the sun vanished, and the Yin and Yang Worlds merged. To save the world, the True God came to Despair Slope once more.
