After emerging from seclusion, Bai Yu found that the three clans had ended their war with the Dragon Clan holding half of the Eastern Continent, the Qilin Clan controlling the Central Continent and parts of the North Sea, and the Phoenix Clan occupying the Western Sea and part of the South Sea. The Dragon-Han Calamity continued, with thirty thousand yuanhui remaining and Calamity Qi still drawing living beings into the conflict.

• Bai Yu emerged after comprehending seventy percent of the Destiny Great Dao and saw that the three clans had ended their twenty-thousand-yuanhui war.
• The Dragon Clan gained half of the Eastern Continent, while the Qilin Clan took the Central Continent and two-thirds of the North Sea, and the Phoenix Clan seized the Western Sea and one-third of the South Sea.
• The Ancestral Dragon, Shi Qilin, and Yuanfeng remained dissatisfied because each still sought to unify the Primordial World.
• The clans ceased hostilities because their casualties were severe and continuing to fight risked damaging their foundations or letting a rival benefit.
• The Dragon-Han Calamity continued for another thirty thousand yuanhui, while Calamity Qi influenced living beings and helped draw Grand Unity Golden Immortals into the war.

Luohu’s Four Immortal Slaying Swords finished tempering as top-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, and the chapter explained how merit, innate spiritual light, and complete Great Daos determined a treasure’s rank. Bai Yu’s knowledge of the Chaos Bell and Jade Plate of Creation showed their immense power, while the Chaos Bell remained with the still-forming Tai Yi.

• Luohu’s Four Immortal Slaying Swords completed their tempering as top-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasures and could advance through further nurturing with killing and blood fiend aura.
• The chapter explained that integrating Mysterious Yellow Merit and reforging could make a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure a merit treasure with a flawless Origin of the Great Dao.
• The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was described as the foremost postnatal defensive supreme treasure, while the Chaos Bell was the foremost innate defensive treasure.
• Bai Yu had discovered the Chaos Bell in the sun’s deepest reaches, where it accompanied the still-being-conceived three-legged golden crow, Tai Yi.
• Bai Yu knew the Chaos Bell contained seven complete Origin Great Daos, more than the Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, or his Mysterious Bright Treasure Bead.
• The Jade Plate of Creation in Hongjun’s possession could record nine complete Great Daos at most, while a complete version could record all forty-nine.

Luohu completed the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and integrated them with the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram to create the terrifying Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Bai Yu judged that its power rivaled an Innate Supreme Treasure, though the formation still had flaws because the swords and diagram had not been born as one.

• Luohu forged the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, spending his accumulated resources and melting down his companion treasure to make each sword rival a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• Luohu assessed that breaking the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation required four powerful experts to attack its four formation eyes together, and he believed no more than three such experts existed, including himself.
• Luohu’s lack of the God-Slaying Spear led him to devote everything to the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, making them more powerful than they had been in the original course of fate.
• Bai Yu noticed the swords’ tremendous killing power when their tempering was complete and examined how they combined with the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.
• Bai Yu concluded that the formation was the primordial world’s greatest killing formation and could not be broken without four Saints if a Saint set it up, though its components were not yet perfectly integrated.

After ten thousand Yuanhui of seclusion, Bai Yu emerged having brought the Destiny Great Dao to full perfection and prepared to prove the Dao. He examined the progress of Yang Mei and Hongjun, then turned his attention beyond the Primordial World to Qing Hong.

• After the Three Clans’ war ended, Luohu stirred up slaughter across the Primordial World while avoiding the Three Clans and innate divine demons, and the myriad beings worked harder to pursue the Dao.
• Another ten thousand Yuanhui passed, and Bai Yu emerged from seclusion after fully comprehending the Destiny Great Dao, ready to prove the Dao.
• Bai Yu observed that Yang Mei had reached ninety-six percent comprehension of the Space Great Dao, while Hongjun had reached ninety-eight percent with help from the Jade Plate of Creation and the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
• Bai Yu considered the cost of Slaying the Three Corpses and judged that its aid was not worth severing his thoughts of good, evil, and obsession.
• Bai Yu looked beyond the Primordial World and met Qing Hong’s eyes, greeting the thirty-order Dao-prover in advance.

Bai Yu questioned Qing Hong’s slow progress on the Space Great Dao, only to learn Qing Hong considered his comprehension unusually fast and had taken thirty epochs to master the Water Dao. The vast gap between Qing Hong’s pace and that of cultivators in the Primordial World left Bai Yu baffled.

• Bai Yu met Qing Hong again and was surprised that Qing Hong had comprehended only sixty percent of the Space Great Dao.
• Bai Yu asked Qing Hong whether he was struggling to comprehend the Space Great Dao, but Qing Hong thought Bai Yu was astonished by how quickly he was progressing.
• Qing Hong credited his compatibility with the Space Great Dao and a supreme grade innate spiritual root containing its origin for his progress.
• Bai Yu asked how long Qing Hong had taken to complete the Water Dao, and Qing Hong proudly said it had taken about thirty epochs.
• Bai Yu calculated that thirty epochs equaled roughly three million Yuanhui and wondered why Qing Hong needed so long when even Luohu comprehended the Dao far faster.

Bai Yu suspected the Shanhai World's Heavenly Dao was interfering with its inhabitants' Dao comprehension, but kept his theory from Qing Hong to avoid endangering him. After they discussed the Dao, Qing Hong revealed that he had been beaten again and had stolen an Innate Supreme Treasure from his opponent's world.

• Bai Yu considered why Qing Hong's Dao comprehension was so slow and suspected the Shanhai World's Heavenly Dao was responsible.
• Bai Yu decided not to share his conjecture with Qing Hong, then accepted his invitation to discuss the Dao.
• Bai Yu expounded on the Space Great Dao while Qing Hong shared his understanding of the Water Dao, and their discussion ended after a thousand years.
• Qing Hong presented Bai Yu with an Innate Supreme Treasure and admitted that a thirtieth-order existence had beaten him again.
• Qing Hong explained that he had tracked his opponent to a Great Thousand World with only two complete Great Daos and raided it, escaping with the treasure before he was discovered.

Qing Hong offered Bai Yu an Innate Supreme Treasure containing the Fire Dao in exchange for Enlightenment Tea Leaves, which could help him advance his comprehension of the Space Great Dao. Bai Yu had plenty of tea leaves and little use for the fan-shaped treasure, so the trade suited them both.

• Bai Yu examined Qing Hong's Fire Dao Innate Supreme Treasure and noted that it added little to his existing collection.
• Qing Hong asked to trade the treasure for Enlightenment Tea Leaves to help him progress toward seventy percent comprehension of the Space Great Dao.
• Bai Yu considered the rarity and value of Dao-comprehension treasures and recognized why Qing Hong wanted the tea leaves.
• Bai Yu realized his substantial stock of Enlightenment Tea Leaves made a small trade for the Innate Supreme Treasure worthwhile.

Bai Yu traded one hundred thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves to Qing Hong for the Innate Supreme Treasure Qing Hong, then began proving the Dao again on Penglai Immortal Island. His Destiny Great Dao created a River of Destiny that ensnared the destinies of all beings in the Primordial World, forcing even the Primordial Heavenly Dao to appear.

• Bai Yu agreed to exchange one hundred thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves for Qing Hong's Innate Supreme Treasure, and both considered the trade a profit.
• After Bai Yu and Qing Hong ended their meeting, Bai Yu steadied himself and began proving the Dao on Penglai Immortal Island.
• Bai Yu's Destiny Great Dao formed a River of Destiny that held the destinies of all beings in the Primordial World, including Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
• Hongjun, Yang Mei, and Luohu were terrified when they realized that even Grand Unity Golden Immortals could not escape the River of Destiny.
• The Primordial Heavenly Dao appeared after realizing it could not simply observe Bai Yu's latest attempt to prove the Dao.

Bai Yu's attainment of the Destiny Great Dao unintentionally created a Fate River that threatened to give him authority over the Primordial World's fate, prompting the Primordial Heavenly Dao to intervene. The Heavenly Dao did not attack him, and Bai Yu remained in the Primordial World, relieved but troubled by his lack of strength.

• The Fate River threatened to draw in every living being and transfer part of the Primordial World's fate authority from the Primordial Heavenly Dao to Bai Yu.
• Bai Yu realized the Fate River had formed unintentionally and that he had no desire for the Primordial World's original shares.
• Bai Yu prepared to flee to Myriad Worlds City if the Primordial Heavenly Dao attacked, with the Origin Blue Star World as a last resort.
• The Primordial Heavenly Dao did not attack Bai Yu, so he stayed in the Primordial World and felt relieved.
• Bai Yu lamented his weakness and feared that the Origin Blue Star World might be too dangerous for him to escape from.

Bai Yu successfully proved the Destiny Great Dao after the River of Destiny unexpectedly appeared and collapsed, then created and listed a new cultivation scripture based on destiny and karma. He considered completing the Primordial World's Reincarnation Great Dao but rejected the idea because it would bind him to an Earthly Dao subordinate to the Heavenly Dao.

• Bai Yu continued proving the Destiny Great Dao, and its power pressed beings across the Primordial World to the ground.
• Hongjun failed to record the Destiny Great Dao with the Jade Plate of Creation, which already held the Time, Space, and Karma Great Daos.
• Yang Mei, Luohu, Hongjun, and the other Innate Divine Demons suspected the prover was the Destiny Demon God's reincarnation, while Bai Yu completed the process without further incident.
• Bai Yu created the Great Destiny Cause and Effect Dao Scripture and listed it at the Limitless Pavilion in Myriad Worlds City.
• Bai Yu considered completing the Primordial World's incomplete Reincarnation Great Dao but decided against becoming the Earthly Dao's lord, since the Heavenly Dao controlled the world's authority.

Bai Yu considered how authority was divided among the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity and dismissed the Earthly Dao as an unnecessary administrative role. With the Dragon-Han Calamity nearing its final battle, he chose to comprehend the Slaughter Great Dao and watched Luohu’s Demon Race fuel slaughter across the Primordial World.

• Bai Yu reasoned that the Heavenly Dao generally ruled Great Thousand Worlds, while a creator such as Pangu could reclaim any authority delegated to it.
• Bai Yu decided not to perfect the Great Dao of Reincarnation, leaving that task to Ancestral Witch Houtu, and chose the Slaughter Great Dao as his next focus.
• Bai Yu recalled that Luohu had comprehended ninety-six percent of the Slaughter Great Dao, but the Primordial Heavenly Dao intended him to serve as Hongjun’s stepping stone.
• Bai Yu wondered how Yang Mei had achieved the Dao despite the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s plans and decided to wait until Yang Mei attempted it.
• Bai Yu ignored the Demon Race’s growing turmoil because its slaughter helped his comprehension, and the Primordial World’s killing Dao resonance surged.

The chapter explained why Daluo Golden Immortals’ deaths benefited the Primordial World, while Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals could only be sealed rather than killed. It contrasted the Primordial World’s restrictions on proving the Dao with Qing Hong’s freedom in the Mountain Sea Great World, then questioned why Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals would leave their home world.

• After the manifestations of proving the Dao faded, tensions rose again among the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan as schemers sought to provoke another war.
• The chapter explained that Daluo Golden Immortals who died returned their Dao Rhyme and some of their origin to the Primordial World, while Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals could not truly perish as long as the Origin of the Great Dao endured.
• The chapter suggested that the Primordial Heavenly Dao restricted beings from proving the Dao to avoid investing resources in immortals who might leave or become impossible to kill.
• Qing Hong’s successful proving of the Dao and freedom to travel through the Sea of Chaos were contrasted with the lifelong servitude of a Heavenly Dao Representative or Heavenly Dao Saint.
• The chapter concluded that Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals had little reason to leave the Primordial World, since crossing the Sea of Chaos was perilous and a Daluo Golden Immortal could not control another Great Thousand World.

As the Dragon-Han Calamity reached its closing stages, Bai Yu remained secluded to comprehend the Slaughter Great Dao while the Three Clans plunged the Primordial World into war. The chapter explained why the Three Clans and the Innate Divine Demons hesitated to oppose one another, and ended by describing how the Primordial Heavenly Dao had stripped the Chaos Demon God reincarnations of their treasures.

• Bai Yu ignored events in Myriad Worlds City, the Chat Group, and the Primordial World as he secluded himself to comprehend the Slaughter Great Dao.
• The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan entered a bloody war, with Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin personally leading their forces.
• The war spread across the Primordial World, while independent Daluo Golden Immortals largely stayed outside the conflict and the Three Clans avoided provoking them.
• The chapter described how Hongjun and other powerful Innate Divine Demons could overcome the Three Clans' numbers through superior cultivation and treasures.
• The Primordial Heavenly Dao was said to have consumed the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods' legacy and left most of their reincarnations with only High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures as natal treasures.

The three clans’ war engulfed nearly the entire Primordial World, as Calamity Qi pushed living beings into a slaughter that could kill even Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Hongjun isolated himself from the calamity to study the Great Dao, while Bai Yu began comprehending the Slaughter Great Dao without joining the war.

• The dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans escalated their war, dragging almost all races in the Primordial World into the fighting or forcing them into hiding.
• Hongjun used the Pangu Banner and other spiritual treasures to suppress his aura, isolate Calamity Qi, and secure his dojo while remaining out of the war.
• The Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin grew increasingly consumed by Calamity Qi and their pursuit of providence, while their Grand Unity Golden Immortal elders fought on the battlefield.
• The slaughter caused blood fiend aura and the Slaughter Great Dao to surge throughout the Primordial World, drawing nearly every cultivator who comprehended that Dao into the fighting.
• Bai Yu stayed out of the calamity and began comprehending the Slaughter Great Dao, treating the war’s eruption as an opportunity.

Over ten thousand yuanhui of brutal warfare, Bai Yu raised his comprehension of the Slaughter Great Dao to nearly eighty percent while the three clans suffered catastrophic losses. Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin faced the near-extinction of their peoples and the collapse of their ability to govern their territories.

• Bai Yu used the slaughter of the ten-thousand-yuanhui war to comprehend the Slaughter Great Dao to seventy-nine percent.
• The three clan leaders fought repeatedly without reaching a decisive victory, while the Primordial World's living beings fell by nearly forty percent.
• Ancestral Dragon discovered that fewer than ten thousand pure-blooded true dragons remained, leaving the Dragon Clan unable to govern even the East Sea.
• Yuanfeng's Phoenix Clan had only around three thousand pure-blooded members remaining.
• Shi Qilin's Qilin Clan had fewer than one thousand members of all attributes combined and stood on the brink of extinction.
• The surviving clans could no longer staff the upper-middle levels needed to control their territories and gather their fortune.

Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin halted the slaughter after realizing the Three Clans could no longer govern the Primordial World, and the Primordial Heavenly Dao ended the war. Bai Yu recognized that the Heavenly Dao controlled the Primordial World, leaving even powerful beings with no safe escape from its order.

• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin realized their clans had lost too many members to govern the Primordial World or achieve their ambition of unifying it.
• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin ordered the fighting to stop, and the Three Clans’ survivors regained clarity as the calamity Qi dispersed.
• The battlefield and the Four Seas lay submerged in rivers and seas of blood, while the Primordial Heavenly Dao brought the slaughter to a complete halt.
• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin recognized that the Three Clans could not unify the Primordial World without the Heavenly Dao’s will, while Bai Yu understood that the world remained under its control.
• Bai Yu reflected that fleeing into the Sea of Chaos of All Heavens was perilous even for Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, as Qing Hong had nearly died there more than once.

The chapter explained how the Primordial Heavenly Dao had added Measureless Kalpas and Immeasurable Tribulations to the Primordial World, and why their Calamity Qi accumulated under strict limits. It left the Primordial Heavenly Dao bound by the world’s fundamental rules despite possessing supreme authority over it.

• The chapter stated that only Bai Yu and the Primordial Heavenly Dao knew of Measureless Kalpas, while other beings could not learn of them before proving the Dao.
• It explained that Calamity Qi accumulated secretly and that Measureless Kalpas could threaten ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals, while Immeasurable Tribulations were designed for Heavenly Dao Saints.
• It established that one Measureless Kalpa lasted fifty thousand Yuanhui and one Immeasurable Tribulation lasted 480 million Measureless Kalpas.
• The Primordial Heavenly Dao had added the Measureless Kalpa setting to the Primordial World but could not trigger or change it freely because doing so required immense resources and careful changes to the world’s underlying code.
• The chapter concluded that the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s authority depended on the Primordial World’s foundations, binding the two together so that the Heavenly Dao would fall if the world collapsed.

Bai Yu explained that the Three Clans had no treasury capable of anchoring their Fortune and had misunderstood how to prove the Dao through Fortune. After catastrophic losses drove their Fortune to a trough, Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin realized they could not stop it from draining or avert the resulting Karmic Debt backlash.

• Bai Yu reasoned that Fortune could only truly aid Dao comprehension when used to comprehend the Destiny Great Dao, but no one in the Three Clans had done so.
• Bai Yu concluded that the Three Clans' fate was likely predetermined because they lacked an Innate Supreme Treasure or a Destiny Great Dao treasure to anchor their Fortune.
• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin discovered that their clans' Fortune had plunged to an extreme trough after devastating casualties, and they froze in panic.
• The Three Clans' leaders watched helplessly as their unanchored Fortune drained away, exposing them to the backlash of Karmic Debt.

The chapter explained how karmic debt accumulated through harm to living beings, how merit could offset it and Fortune could suppress it, and why Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals and Innate Supreme Treasures were exceptions. With the Three Clans’ Fortune collapsed after the Dragon-Han Calamity, their immense accumulated karmic debt was no longer restrained and was poised to take effect.

• The chapter explained that in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao imposed karmic debt for harming living beings and disturbing the world’s balance, and merit was the only way to eliminate it.
• It described how heavy karmic debt defiled Essence, Qi, and Spirit, weakened cultivation, and made comprehending the Great Dao far more difficult, while Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals were unaffected.
• It established that merit could offset karmic debt, Innate Supreme Treasures could avoid cause and effect, and Fortune could suppress karmic debt without removing it.
• The Three Clans’ wars had caused the Primordial World’s living beings to decline by forty percent, while their rising Fortune had kept their growing karmic debt dormant.
• After the Three Clans’ Fortune plunged, it could no longer suppress their immense karmic debt, which was now poised to rise.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were trapped by overwhelming karmic debt that crippled their fate and tainted their descendants. Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin recognized the clans’ desperate predicament, while Luohu relied on the World-Destroying Black Lotus to suppress his own, lesser burden.

• The three clans’ fate collapsed, allowing their racial karmic debt to taint their members’ cultivation and newborn descendants.
• The chapter explained that abandoning the clans or leaving the Primordial World could not erase karmic debt; it required merit, fate, or power on the level of a complete Great Dao.
• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin saw that karmic debt had reduced their clans’ fate to stagnation and left the three clans near ruin.
• The chapter contrasted the clans’ burden with Luohu’s, whose indirect role in the slaughter left him with less karmic debt to bear.
• Luohu used the World-Destroying Black Lotus, which contained an incomplete Karma Great Dao, to suppress his karmic debt.

The Three Clan patriarchs withdrew their battered clans to their ancestral lands and abandoned their ambitions after their karmic debt overwhelmed their ability to suppress it. Ten thousand years later, Ancestral Dragon vowed that the Dragon Clan would guard the Four Seas’ Eyes and offered his flesh and primal spirit to nourish the earth and forever guard the Eastern Pole; the Heavenly Dao accepted.

• Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin led their remaining clansmen back to the Dragon Palace, Immortal Volcano, and Qilin Cliff, respectively, abandoning their territories and gathering resources for seclusion.
• The Three Clans’ retreat followed a war that devastated the Primordial World, leaving its population down forty percent and only a few hundred Daluo Golden Immortals.
• Ten thousand years later, Ancestral Dragon proclaimed that the Dragon Clan would guard the Eyes of the Four Seas, spread clouds and rain, and protect the Primordial World to dissolve its cause and effect with heaven and earth.
• Ancestral Dragon swore to nourish the earth with his flesh and forever guard the Eastern Pole with his primal spirit, and the Heavenly Dao answered, “Granted.”

The Ancestral Dragon sacrificed his physical body to nourish the Primordial World, earning merit that reduced the Dragon Clan’s Karmic Debt but permanently costing him his source of essence. He sent his primordial spirit to guard the Eastern Pole forever, leaving the Dragon Clan to slowly repay its debt through the merit he would generate.

• The Ancestral Dragon’s physical body scattered across the Primordial World and restored vitality to the ravaged land, earning merit for the Dragon Clan.
• The Ancestral Dragon retained his primordial spirit but permanently lost his source of essence, leaving his cultivation unable to advance and his source of qi slowly leaking away.
• The Ancestral Dragon chose to suppress the Eastern Pole forever, since his remaining path to the Great Dao was already blocked by the Dragon Clan’s Karmic Debt.
• The Ancestral Dragon’s primordial spirit roared and flew to the Eastern Pole, where it vanished to guard the Primordial World for all eternity.
• The Dragon Clan could continue gaining merit from the Ancestral Dragon’s sacrifice, but it would take a long time to erase its Karmic Debt and could no longer commit further slaughter.

The Dragon Clan established four Dragon Palaces to regulate the Four Seas’ sea eyes and earn merit, while Candle Dragon led the weakened clan from its Ancestral Land. After Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin made their proclamations, Yuanfeng vowed to guard the southern pole, and the Heavenly Dao accepted her sacrifice.

• The Dragon Clan established the West, South, and North Sea Dragon Palaces alongside the East Sea Dragon Palace, placing a Daluo Golden Immortal Dragon King at each sea eye.
• Candle Dragon remained patriarch of the unified Dragon Clan, which had dwindled to ten Daluo Golden Immortals and no late-Daluo Golden Immortals.
• Luohu abandoned his journey toward the East Sea after hearing Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin make proclamations, and headed for the Phoenix Clan’s homeland at the Immortal Volcano.
• Yuanfeng vowed that the Phoenix Clan would guard the Immortal Volcano eternally, offering her flesh to nourish the earth and her primordial spirit to guard the southern pole.
• The Heavenly Dao granted Yuanfeng’s vow, and her body scattered into fiery sparks across the land as her primordial spirit vanished into the southern pole.

Shi Qilin followed Yuanfeng’s example by vowing that the Qilin Clan would regulate the earth veins and become auspicious beings, while he nourished the land with his flesh and guarded the Central Pole with his primal spirit. His unexpected choice was crucial because the Heavenly Dao’s script foretold that Buzhou Mountain would collapse, making the Central Pole essential to the Primordial World.

• The chapter explained how the Phoenix Clan stabilized Immortal Volcano and the Southern Continent’s earth veins, earning merit while accumulating earth fire.
• After Yuanfeng vowed to guard the Southern Pole, Shi Qilin proclaimed that the Qilin Clan would regulate the earth veins and appear when people of great virtue arose.
• Shi Qilin vowed to nourish the earth with his flesh and guard the Central Pole forever, and the Heavenly Dao granted his request.
• Shi Qilin’s flesh became black-and-yellow light that spread across the land, while his primal spirit flew toward the Central Pole.
• Bai Yu understood that the Central Pole needed a guardian because the Heavenly Dao’s script foretold Buzhou Mountain’s collapse.
• Shi Qilin had planned to guard the Northern Pole, but an intense premonition led him to choose the Central Pole instead.

After the three clans' era ended, Luohu tried to raid the Phoenix Clan but found Yuanfeng had protected Immortal Volcano with a formation anchored to the Southern Continent's ancestral ley line. He left for Qilin Cliff hoping to loot the Qilin Clan instead, only to find that the clan had vanished.

• Luohu examined the Xiantian Great Formation around Immortal Volcano and realized breaking it would damage the Southern Continent's ancestral ley line and incur immense Karmic Debt.
• Luohu abandoned his attempt to raid the Phoenix Clan and considered using Mount Sumeru and the Western Continent's ancestral ley line as the base for a similar formation.
• Luohu headed northeast to Qilin Cliff, expecting to seize the Qilin Clan's resources.
• Luohu found Qilin Cliff deserted and realized it was not the Qilin Clan's true territory.
• Luohu searched the surrounding area and its blessed grotto-heavens but found no trace of the Qilin Clan.
