A million years later, the array shattered the Guixu Sealing Array, and although Goddess Wangshu’s strike briefly froze the Return to Ruins, Li Fan and his allies had to descend to the East Sea to contain it.

• Li Fan opened thirty-six spatial gateways with the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, pouring resources from thirty-six perfected Great Thousand Worlds into the Heavenly Realm.

• When the Return to Ruins began to thaw, Li Fan, Goddess Wangshu, Taiyuan, and Ziguang brought the Zhou Tian Star Array down to the East Sea and locked it in a curtain of light.

Return to Ruins launched an instinctive uprising at the Sea Eye of the Four Seas, Immortal Volcano, and Kunlun Ruins, forcing Li Fan and the other powers to fight to contain its eruptions. The Twelve Heavens began drawing power from all three gateways, but Hun Yuan Fire threatened to overwhelm the formation at Immortal Volcano as Li Fan warned Phoenix Ancestor that the struggle had become a contest of endurance.

• The Black Tortoise helped stabilize the West Sea and Northern Sea, while Li Fan called on the Great Divine Powers to reinforce Immortal Volcano and Kunlun Ruins.

• Phoenix Ancestor asked Li Fan how to handle the Hun Yuan Fire, and he said the Twelve Heavens could not hold out much longer and Yuanfeng might have to withdraw.

Li Fan and the others suppressed Return to Ruins with the Zhou Tian Star Array and three supreme treasures, ending its unrest after five hundred years. But when the formation dispersed, Immortal Volcano erupted completely.

• Li Fan used the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to absorb Hun Yuan True Fire while Yuanfeng struggled to contain it inside Immortal Volcano.
• Goddess Taiyuan left the Zhou Tian Star Array and joined Yuanfeng, but the Creation Cauldron could not hold the fire, so they prepared for the volcano to erupt.
• Luohu saw Goddess Taiyuan carrying the God Slaying Spear and continued waiting for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to be completed.

• Yuanfeng used Nirvana Fire to destroy the tornado carrying Southern Bright Lihuo.
• Li Fan empowered Taiyuan’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and Taiyuan pierced the Hun Yuan Fire tornado with the God Slaying Spear.
• Nuwa saw Taiyuan’s strike and hurried toward the Return to Ruins, while Yuanfeng and Taiyuan also set off to claim its opportunity.
• Shi Qilin, Hongjun, Huang Tian, and other great powers raced toward the Return to Ruins after realizing its eruption offered an opportunity.
• Li Fan barred those who had not helped suppress the Immortal Volcano or other Return to Ruins entrances, and Nuwa argued that she qualified because she had set up the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The Eye of Return to Ruins released Great Dao Origins and new matter, granting powerful beings opportunities to claim Origins and strengthen their clans. It chose Li Fan to receive the Reincarnation Origin, leaving Ancestor Dragon, Hongjun, and the others astonished.

• The Five Elements Origin flew to Yuanfeng, while Li Fan explained that the Origins heralded the birth of second-generation God-Demons and Innate Beings.

• Nuwa, Huang Tian, Taiyuan, and Empress Ziguang received the Creation, Thunder, Life, and Star Origins, while Leize resented Huang Tian's selection.
• The Reincarnation Origin flew to Li Fan, stunning Ancestor Dragon, Hongjun, and the other onlookers.

After the origins of the Three Thousand Laws spread across the Primordial World, Li Fan warned Ancestor Dragon to keep the Dragon Clan out of the coming Dao and Demon Calamity. A million years later, the three clans had rebuilt and the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had officially ended, while Leize continued searching for the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

• The origins of the Three Thousand Laws scattered throughout the Primordial World, and great powers seized some of them while new Innate Beings began to gestate.

• The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, and the Primordial World’s living beings recovered and rebuilt, bringing the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity to an end.

Hongjun visited Grand Unity Palace to promote his newly deduced Grand Unity Golden Immortal path, which relied on cultivating Heavenly Dao Laws.

As Hongjun’s plans strained his ties with Yinyang and Qiankun, Li Fan weighed when to intervene, and Ziguang and Nuwa set out for the Star Sky and Taiyin Star.

• Hongjun asked to establish another branch within the Immortal Path Alliance, and Li Fan let him proceed while warning that joining the struggle would put his fate beyond his control.
• Li Fan told Wangshu, Ziguang, Nuwa, and Taiyuan that the Calamity of Dao and Demon was a struggle between the Heavenly Dao and the Demon Realm, with Hongjun serving as the Heavenly Dao’s vanguard.
• Luohu abandoned his failed plan involving the three clans, spread hidden Demonic Dao inheritances across the Primordial World, and recognized the Zhou Tian Star Array as an obstacle.
• Hongjun told Yinyang and Qiankun that he intended to establish his own faction, rejected their appeals to restore their old friendship, and parted with them on bad terms.

• Hongjun agreed to build the next altar in the Taiyang Star Realm and flew there after completing the Central Jun Tian altar.

Goddess Taiyuan siphoned Heavenly Dao Power through the Investiture of the Gods as the Grand Unity Golden Immortal path spread, while Hongjun failed to recruit Taishang and Yuanshi into the Mystic Sect. Eleven Top-Grade Innate Divines then emerged together, proclaiming their Dao Fruits and revealing their destined lands, as the Twelve Ancestral Witches quietly appeared as well.

• Goddess Taiyuan inscribed her Law imprint on the Heavenly Dao Grand Altar and used the Investiture of the Gods to absorb Heavenly Dao Power.

• Li Fan looked toward the Blood Sea in the west and anticipated that a major event was about to begin.

• Hongjun persuaded Xihua to join him, then established the Mystic Gate with Donghua, Xihua, Qingyuan, and the other cultivators at the Heavenly Dao Grand Altar.
• The Mystic Gate's founding brought Hongjun and its members Heavenly Dao fortune, while Yinyang and Qiankun suffered a major loss of fortune and resented Hongjun.
• Li Fan noticed the Mystic Gate's establishment and concluded that the conflict between the Dao and Demonic Dao would soon become open.
• Luohu sent demonic qi into the Sea of Blood Grand Array, weakening its defenses as Leize watched for an opportunity.
