Yuanshi traced the causes within the River of Fate to nearly complete his attainment of the Dao, but his Pangu aura awakened the sealed Fate Demon God.

As Haotian’s return approached, Yaochi secured Li Fan’s tacit approval to create a subordinate Jade Emperor position and divided the Heavenly Court’s authority in the Haotian Realm. After enduring the backlash of splitting her authority, she appointed Chiguo Tian to the new office and sent him to bring Haotian back, setting the stage for conflict.

• Yaochi ordered Chiguo Tian and the immortals to bring Haotian back from reincarnation.

Haotian’s reincarnated body, Zhang Bairen, regained his memories and was summoned to the Heavenly Court as Jade Emperor, bringing his family and even their animals. He accepted the jade talisman while recognizing Yaochi’s scheme, and his anger foreshadowed a coming conflict.

• King Virupaksha led Lady Wang and her daughters to the Immortal Transformation Pool and arranged for them to enter its purest upstream waters.
• The seven princesses transformed in the pool, producing spectacular signs of innate blessing that astonished the gathered immortals.
• Haotian went to Purple Heaven Palace and accused Yaochi of acting against him, but Hongjun said her actions followed the Heavenly Dao’s order and had nothing to do with the Heavenly Emperor.
• Haotian saw Yao Ji, recognized her as his younger sister, and left the hall with her after she followed him.
• Hongjun secretly sent a strand of Xuan Guang after Haotian and Yao Ji, while Li Fan considered the schemes of the Two Sages of the West and Luohu’s contingency.

Haotian completed his ascension ceremony as the Jade Emperor, but Yaochi’s abrupt departure left him without the support he expected. As the first calamity of the Near Ancient Era began to take shape around Yao Ji, Li Fan realized Nuwa had also been drawn into the schemes.

• Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi insulted the Interception Sect disciples at Haotian’s ceremony, and Duobao and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother challenged them before Grand Master Xuandu tried to stop the quarrel.
• Yunxiao arrived with Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Chang'e, Jade Rabbit, and Ru Yue, drawing the assembled factions’ attention while the Heavenly Emperor stayed away.
• Haotian proclaimed himself the Jade Emperor and received the authority of the true jade talisman, but Yaochi left first and the ceremony grounds soon emptied.
• Yunxiao and her companions departed after observing the ceremony, while Haotian was left to face the snub alone.
• Yao Ji became the target of the Two Sages of the West and Luohu, and Li Fan discovered that Nuwa’s contingency plan had pulled her into the struggle.

Zhunti and Jieyin planned to manipulate Yao Ji’s fate to provoke a conflict between Haotian and the human race while concealing the Western Teachings’ involvement. Meanwhile, Luohu forced the great powers of the hundred races to cooperate and prepared to stir the Primordial World, drawing the attention of Hongjun and Li Fan.

• Zhunti persuaded Jieyin that Yao Ji could be drawn into a staged romantic calamity, making Haotian and the human race clash while Tianji obscured their involvement.
• Zhunti explained that the dried-up River of Fate and the Houtian Era would make Yao Ji’s encounter seem like destiny, and Jieyin agreed the plan was worth attempting.

• Luohu opened the Demon Realm’s restraints, released the great powers, and warned that he could kill them by activating their demonic seeds.
• Luohu ordered the great powers to recover while the Demon Realm prepared for war, and declared his intent to overturn the Three Realms and reach the Outer Chaos.
• Hongjun sensed that Luohu had recovered, while Li Fan noticed the upheaval and decided to let Luohu test the waters.

Yao Ji fought the Three-headed Demonic Flood Dragon on Peach Mountain, but the dragon sacrificed its Origin Pearl to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and poisoned her. Yao Ji drove it off with her treasures, then collapsed and fell toward a pool.

• The Three-headed Demonic Flood Dragon sacrificed its Origin Pearl, broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and wounded and poisoned Yao Ji.

• Yao Ji bound the dragon with the Immortal Binding Rope and pierced one of its heads with the Cloud Phoenix Hairpin.
• The Three-headed Demonic Flood Dragon burned away part of its bound body to escape, and Yao Ji collapsed from her wounds and exhaustion, falling toward the pool below Peach Mountain.

After Luohu broke through the Heavenly Dao blockade and revived the Demonic Dao, its influence drove Yang Tianyou to approach the ice-sealed Yao Ji. Nuwa’s safeguard stopped him, but Li Fan realized that Yao Ji’s unborn child could threaten humanity’s position in the world.

• Yang Tianyou found the ice-sealed Yao Ji by the Peach Mountain riverbed and decided to take her away.
• Luohu emerged from the Demon Realm and drove the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Path into the Prehistoric Universe, alerting the Three Realms’ foremost beings.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven forged a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear from the Three-headed Demonic Flood Dragon and gave it to Yu Ding Zhenren.
• The Heavenly Demon Path twisted Yang Tianyou’s thoughts, and he used demonic qi to melt Yao Ji’s ice seal and approach her.
• Nuwa’s safeguard blasted Yang Tianyou away and suppressed his cultivation, while Creation Power protected Yao Ji and isolated the demonic qi within her fetus.
• Li Fan saw three strands of destiny forming around Yao Ji’s child and realized the possible demon-human offspring could endanger humanity’s position as protagonist of heaven and earth.

Haotian sent King Virupaksha and King Guangmu to Peach Mountain to kill Yang Tianyou, while Nuwa sent Dragon Lady Yun Hua to retrieve Yang Chan. King Guangmu’s attack was interrupted by Chiguo Tian, but Yang Tianyou was mortally wounded, and King Guangmu turned his attention to Yang Jiao.

Ten thousand years later, Luohu found the Origin of Destruction in the Outer Chaos, but Li Fan and three Hunyuan beings confronted him and forced him to submit to the Heavenly Emperor. The group then turned their attention to the Origin of Destruction.

• Yang Chan remained devoted to thoughts of her mother while Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao lived new lives after reincarnation.
• Luohu reached the dangerous region where Shen Ni was conceived and used the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus to expose the Origin of Destruction.
• Li Fan, Wangshu, Taiyuan, and Ziguang appeared and surrounded Luohu, cutting off his escape.
• Luohu offered the black lotus and swore by Dao Contract to serve Li Fan and make the Demon Realm obey the Heavenly Emperor.
• Li Fan's group focused on the Origin of Destruction as it emerged at the center of the Chaos region.

Li Fan collected the Destruction Origin into the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, then ordered Luohu to prove the Dao in the Outer Chaos. Luohu agreed despite suspecting that Li Fan was testing him, and the chapter left him about to begin.

• Li Fan used the Law of World and Chaos Law to calm and collect the Destruction Origin into a miniature chaos space.
• The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls absorbed the miniature chaos space and began devouring its destructive Dao aura.
• Li Fan turned to Luohu and told him that the Outer Chaos was a suitable place to prove the Dao.
• Luohu accepted Li Fan’s order and prepared to seize the opportunity to prove the Dao.
• Li Fan explained that proving the Dao in chaos carried great risks, while Wangshu and Ziguang discussed the dangers and opportunities of doing so.

Luohu endured the erosion of Chaos Power and began rebuilding his Dao Fruit, surviving the most dangerous stage of attaining Hunyuan. As Luohu’s breakthrough continued, Li Fan considered Yang Mei’s search for the Fate Demon God’s legacy and watched his treasures consume the surrounding Chaos Power.

• Luohu confined the Law of Slaughter with his will as Chaos Power eroded his body and Dao Fruit, risking the collapse of his Dao.
• Goddess Wangshu and Empress Ziguang recognized that Luohu was staking his survival on making his Great Dao of Slaughter indestructible within Chaos.
• Luohu summoned the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, which absorbed the returning Law of Slaughter and protected his Dao Fruit as it began to reform.
• Slaughter origin gathered in Luohu’s Dao Fruit, allowing it to grow complete and pass the most dangerous stage of his breakthrough toward becoming a Hunyuan Grand Unity Demon Ancestor.
• Li Fan and the goddesses speculated that Yang Mei was searching for the Fate Demon God’s Golden Apple Tree, which could help Yang Mei transform his true body.
• Li Fan watched the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus divide and refine Chaos Power, drawing some of it away from Luohu.

Luohu attained Hunyuan through slaughter, stirring demons and unsettling the Prehistoric Universe as ominous forces gathered around the Return to Ruins. In the Outer Chaos, Li Fan fought Luohu with swords and began to overwhelm him, while Wangshu reminded Luohu of the Heavenly Emperor’s old challenge.

• Luohu completed his Slaughter Dao Fruit and declared himself the Hunyuan Demon Ancestor, awakening the Great Freedom Demonic Path across the Prehistoric Universe.
• Ancestor Minghe, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Taishang, Sect Leader Tongtian, Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, and Nuwa sensed Luohu’s breakthrough and anticipated turmoil or catastrophe.
• The Return to Ruins invaded the River of Fate and pried loose a severed section, while Nuwa searched for the hidden variable behind the brewing storm.
• Li Fan and Luohu faced off in the Outer Chaos, and their Great Dao sword abilities collided in a battle that shook the cosmos.
• Li Fan used four sword techniques to suppress Luohu, then struck with the Heaven and Earth Great Furnace Demon Refining Style as Wangshu taunted Luohu about their promised sword contest.

• Li Fan blocked Luohu's escape and overwhelmed him with the Chaos Heaven-Opening Sword, cutting Luohu in half and splitting the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.
• Li Fan suppressed the remaining nine grades of the lotus with the Creation Green Lotus while Luohu took three grades and crashed through the Demon Realm's barrier.
• Li Fan warned Luohu to stay in the Demon Realm and recover, then returned to Grand Unity Palace with Wangshu, Taiyuan, and Ziguang.

• The Heavenly Emperor and his companions arrived at Grand Unity Palace, where the gathered officials welcomed them and Nuwa, Xihe, Baili, and Changxi asked about the battle.
• Li Fan showed Nuwa the damaged nine-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and asked her to help with an idea he had gained during the journey.

Haotian considered using stricter heavenly statutes to assert his authority, while Li Fan and the goddesses repaired the World-Destroying Black Lotus and joined it with three other innate lotus platforms. The Black Lotus regained its spirituality as Luohu sensed his connection to it breaking, and Jieyin recognized that the Western Teachings would need another Golden Lotus of Merit.

• Haotian decided to derive stricter heavenly statutes from the Three Realms’ Initial Laws to establish his authority as Jade Emperor.
• Li Fan, Nuwa, and Goddess Taiyuan used the origin of destruction and their powers to repair the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
• Li Fan and Xihe brought the Pure World White Lotus and Karma Red Lotus together with the Creation Green Lotus and Black Lotus, forming a fourfold barrier that awakened the Black Lotus’s spirituality.
• Luohu sensed his connection to the World-Destroying Black Lotus breaking and angrily blamed the Heavenly Emperor.
• Jieyin and Zhunti sensed trouble, and Jieyin concluded that the Western Teachings had to cultivate another Golden Lotus of Merit.
