Chapter Summaries

Li Fan destroyed the Guixu’s false manifestations and halted its invasion, saving the Primordial World. But the boundary between the Inner and Outer Chaos collapsed, leaving the Prehistoric Universe exposed to the raging Chaos.

• Li Fan used the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and the Primordial Purple Lotus to sever the false Dao’s distortions and destroy its phantoms.
• Nuwa and Fuxi followed Li Fan as he cut apart the tangled spacetime, Yin Yang, and cause and effect, while Nuwa kept her attention on him.
• Li Fan crushed the false sages’ attacks with the purple imperial seal and refined their remains, restoring the Primordial World’s origins and healing damage to Xuanyuan and the Three Pure Ones.
• With the Primordial World’s spirits, sages, and Heavenly Dao lending their power, Li Fan unleashed Hongmeng Taiyi divine light at the Guixu’s origin and halted its spreading terror.
• The Inner and Outer Chaos boundaries vanished, and Chaos Boundary Thunder and turbulent currents threatened to sweep the Prehistoric Universe away.
• Taishang, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Lingbao Tianzun recognized the danger, while Li Fan privately wondered whether it was time to replace the current savior.

Li Fan watched as the Primordial World drifted through Chaos, with Nuwa taking charge of steering it while the immortals repaired its damaged barrier. The world approached a Chaos Graveyard filled with Demon God remains and treasure fragments, where a deadly pressure began to emerge.

• The Zhou Tian Star Array transformed into a traction array and pulled the Primordial World and Five Heavenly Realms into Chaos, while Hongjun and Haotian moved Purple Cloud Palace closer for protection.
• Empress Ziguang warned of a collapsing void ahead, and Li Fan, Goddess Taiyuan, Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor Dragon, and others slowed the world and repaired its barrier.
• As the Heavenly Dao delegated authority, Nuwa used the Heavenly Dao Wheel to steer the Primordial World through Chaos, spinning it sharply and prompting Kunpeng to complain about a newly damaged hole.
• Nuwa refused Lingbao Tianzun's request to steer and invited Li Fan to try, while Goddess Taiyuan detected a dead-silent Chaos Graveyard ahead.
• Li Fan recognized the graveyard as a site containing remnants from Pangu's battle and scattered Demon God and Chaos spiritual treasure fragments, as a pressure of death began to spill toward the Primordial World.

Li Fan and the others entered the Chaos Graveyard after three ancient treasures appeared, but a battle to claim them awakened a terrifying demon god formed from the dead. Li Fan exposed Life Heavenly Maiden as the one behind the scheme, and she proposed joining forces against Pangu.

• Li Fan recognized the Time Wheel, Fate Compass, and Reincarnation Heavenly Disk as fragments of the supreme treasures belonging to three great demon gods, while noticing Life Heavenly Maiden was missing.
• Zhunti, Kunpeng, Taiyi, Ancestor Dragon, and the arriving Chaos Demon Gods fought over the treasures, triggering the graveyard’s collapse into chaos.
• The three treasures merged and unleashed a vortex that revived the Co-Lord Demon God, trapping everyone inside with a sweeping beam of light.
• Li Fan identified Life Heavenly Maiden as the hidden schemer, and she appeared and admitted she had planned to recover her strength and reclaim what was hers.
• Life Heavenly Maiden asked Li Fan to cooperate with her and fight Pangu.

The Life Heavenly Maiden tried to recruit Li Fan with offers of children and harmonized origin bonds, but he rejected both proposals as Nuwa, Houtu, and Goddess Wangshu challenged her motives. The Co-Lord Demon God then unleashed the [Thousand Words], whose Three Thousand Great Daos trapped and crushed the assembled Chaos Demon Gods and Prehistoric cultivators, leaving Li Fan impressed by the Life Heavenly Maiden’s reckless scheme.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden offered to bear Li Fan an Innate Supreme Body child, but he firmly refused.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden offered to merge the origin bonds of Li Fan and the goddesses, prompting Nuwa, Houtu, and Goddess Wangshu to warn him that she was scheming.
• The Co-Lord Demon God interrupted the tense exchange and used the [Thousand Words] to order the elimination of everyone present.
• The Co-Lord Demon God converged the Three Thousand Great Daos, locking down Kunpeng, Zhunti, Ancestor Dragon, Taiyi, the Cangli Clan, and the Chaos Demon Gods.
• Li Fan watched the Life Heavenly Maiden’s indiscriminate attack and recognized her talent for throwing the Prehistoric Universe into chaos.

The Life Heavenly Maiden harvested the Chaos Graveyard to forge the Three Talents Life Dao Disk while Li Fan and the others watched. In the Primordial World, the frozen four seas became a battleground as cultivators fought over the Dragon Clan’s abandoned treasures, and the ice-bound East Sea’s conflicts continued to escalate.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden combined the Time Wheel, Fate Compass, and Reincarnation Heavenly Disk, using the gathered laws and origins to create the Three Talents Life Dao Disk.
• Li Fan, Wangshu, and the other powerful figures chose not to intervene as the Chaos Graveyard’s would-be contenders were sacrificed to the forging.
• As the three realms endured the Ice Age, survivors settled on the frozen seas, where Tongtian Jianmu stood embedded in the ice.
• Cultivators began excavating the Dragon Clan’s abandoned treasures, sparking a three-thousand-year war across the East Sea.
• Candle Dragon declared that the Dragon Clan had forsaken the frozen seas and would not return, after which major forces divided the East Sea and established strongholds.
• The East Sea remained a lawless arena of smaller battles as cultivators pursued dragon relics and stirred secrets beneath the ice.

The Life Heavenly Maiden completed the Three Talents Life Dao Disk and revealed that Hongjun was destined to become the Heavenly Dao’s ninth Saint, giving him authority to shape the heavens during the Immeasurable Kalpa. She left with the treasure, while freed Chaos Demon Gods began departing the Primordial World.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden told Li Fan that she did not possess the Heavenly Dao’s “Heavenly Balance” and revealed that Hongjun’s ninth Saint position had been decided long ago.
• Li Fan and the Life Heavenly Maiden explained that Hongjun would use the enduring ninth Saint position to stabilize the Immeasurable Kalpa and determine the fate of the heavens, angering the Three Pure Ones.
• The Three Talents Life Dao Disk resonated with the Co-Lord Demon God’s origin, absorbed it, and completed its integration with the Three Thousand Great Daos.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden proposed that she and Li Fan might join forces, but Li Fan warned her that their aims could not conflict; she then left with the disk.
• The Chaos Graveyard’s suppression lifted, freeing Taiyi, Zhunti, and the other trapped figures, and several Chaos Demon Gods left the Primordial World.

As the Primordial World drifted through chaos under its autonomous defenses, Xuanming visited Grand Unity Heaven and reassured Houtu that life in the frozen world remained stable. Meanwhile, Taiyi feared losing his standing as the Heavenly Dao’s Saint positions shifted, and Kunpeng prepared to seize control of the Demon Race.

• The Primordial World continued its journey through the Turbulent Flow while the Zhou Tian Star Array protected it and kept the world stable.
• Xuanming visited Grand Unity Heaven, and Houtu welcomed her before asking about the frozen Primordial World.
• Xuanming told Houtu that her Hunyuan Law suppressed the cold and that the races were living securely.
• Taiyi worried that he could not become Hunyuan before the Heavenly Dao Saint positions changed, while the six Demon Race Crown Princes urged him to plan for their survival.
• Kunpeng judged Taiyi to be vulnerable and secretly anticipated taking control of the Demon Race.

Taiyi consulted Shang Yang and Qin Yuan about the Demon Race’s decline, then resolved to strike at the Human Dao before Kunpeng could take control. In the Grand Unity Palace, Li Fan and the others debated whether the Human Dao could ever be perfected, leaving its scope and relationship to Pangu unresolved.

• Taiyi summoned Shang Yang and Qin Yuan, who argued that the Demon Race had to pay a price to restore its fortune and would eventually risk everything against the Human Dao.
• Taiyi decided that the Demon Race would deal the Human Dao a ruthless blow while he still held the Heavenly Dao saint seat, forcing Kunpeng to choose between taking control and sharing the Demon Race’s fate.
• Li Fan considered whether the Human Dao had reached the point where it could return to the Dao and become complete, while Nuwa and Wangshu warned that intervening in it carried deep consequences.
• Taiyuan argued that the Human Dao could not be perfected while it relied on all beings to nourish it, and Empress Ziguang asked whether Pangu would fall within its scope if he returned.
• Houtu pointed out that Earth Dao Reincarnation kept the Human Dao connected to all beings, while Xuanming and the others had no answer to the unresolved problem.

Hongjun returned as the Heavenly Dao’s Ninth Saint and tried to strip Taiyi of his saintly position, but Taiyi resisted and rallied opposition to Hongjun’s attempt to consolidate power. The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa joined the confrontation, leaving Hongjun facing the gathered saints.

• Hongjun reformed the Heavenly Dao Rule and declared himself the Ninth Saint, claiming authority over the heavens and all saints.
• Taiyi felt his Saint Dao Fruit being stripped away, then burned his Solar Origin to resist and forced the Ice Age to recede.
• The Twelve Saints of the Human Dao moved to suppress Taiyi as he attacked the Human Dao Foundation, but Taiyi challenged Hongjun and invoked the Heavenly Emperor’s lack of consent.
• Jieyin and Zhunti condemned Hongjun’s merger of the Ninth Saint Position, and the Three Pure Ones joined them against him.
• Nuwa arrived, rebuked Hongjun, and sided against his attempt to incorporate all saints while Li Fan and Goddess Wangshu watched from Grand Unity Palace.

Hongjun agreed to let the eight Sages comprehend the Jade Plate of Creation for three epochs, but his restrictions exposed his attempt to confine them. Nuwa escaped the restriction, while Li Fan and Wangshu watched from Grand Unity Heaven as Hongjun’s plan secured only a partial victory.

• Nuwa and the other Sages challenged Hongjun’s attempt to reclaim their Saint positions, and Hongjun offered them three epochs to comprehend the Jade Plate of Creation.
• Hongjun revealed the jade plate, imposed restrictions on the eight Sages, and left Haotian to supervise them.
• Nuwa ignored the restrictions, examined the jade plate, and departed, while Taiyi stayed to comprehend it.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven prepared to leave, and Haotian tried to persuade the Sages to remain and comply with Hongjun’s arrangement.
• Li Fan and Wangshu observed from Grand Unity Heaven, and Wangshu said Hongjun had won only half.

Hongjun came to Grand Unity Heaven to propose setting rules jointly before the Immeasurable Kalpa, but Li Fan rejected joint rule and defined the limits of the Heavenly Dao’s authority. Hongjun accepted the arrangement and left after issuing a Heavenly Dao Decree.

• Hongjun arrived at Grand Unity Heaven, where Nuwa and Nüyi confronted him as he approached Li Fan.
• Hongjun said he wanted to establish order with Li Fan before the Immeasurable Kalpa, but Li Fan accused him of using the Eight Sages’ return to pressure him.
• Nuwa, Nüyi, Goddess Wangshu, Goddess Taiyuan, and Empress Ziguang rebuked Hongjun and opposed his plan for joint rule.
• Li Fan refused joint rule and said Hongjun could establish the Nine Poles but must limit the Heavenly Dao to maintaining its laws and order.
• Hongjun accepted Li Fan’s terms, sent a Heavenly Dao Decree toward the Primordial World, and departed Grand Unity Heaven.

Li Fan reviewed the ten harsh laws the Heavenly Dao had developed in the End of Dharma Era and reflected on how the Dao had evolved through successive ages. He assessed the Hunyuan progress of himself and the goddesses, Three Pure Ones, and other ancient powers, leaving the Great Dao’s unequal paths and Pangu’s absence unresolved.

• Li Fan summarized the Heavenly Dao’s ten ultimate laws, from the Light Speed Barrier and Absolute Zero to Vacuum Decay and the Law of Entropy Increase.
• Li Fan considered the Heavenly Dao’s continual evolution and the Primordial Wilderness’s passing Ice Age as a possible start of another transformation.
• Li Fan compared the cultivation progress of Wangshu, Empress Ziguang, Goddess Taiyuan, Nuwa, the Creation Demoness, and the other goddesses.
• Li Fan recalled that the Three Pure Ones and other Innate Five Primes cultivators had settled on Hunyuan Taichu before seeking individual Great Dao paths, while Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin pursued Hunyuan Taiji through the Five Elements.
• Li Fan reflected that talent, origins, opportunities, and treasures shaped one’s chances in the Great Dao, and wondered why Pangu had not returned.

Pangu returned through reincarnation and his supreme Dao rhythm overwhelmed the Primordial World, forcing Saints, clans, and mighty beings to submit. Li Fan and Hongjun recognized that Pangu’s arrival threatened the existing order, while the Chaos Demon Gods prepared to carry out the Life Heavenly Maiden’s plan.

• Pangu’s voice opened Hongmeng, and his returning aura disrupted the Three Pure Ones and shook Zhunti, Jieyin, and Taiyi.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Clan prostrated themselves before Pangu, while Houtu welcomed him at the end of reincarnation.
• Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin felt Pangu’s bloodline and Dao rhythm suppress them.
• Li Fan sensed Pangu’s power and concluded that the Hongmeng Supreme Dao could introduce the greatest variable beneath the Great Dao Chess Game.
• Hongjun found his Heavenly Dao authority suppressed by Pangu, undermining his plan to unify the Nine Saints.
• The 999 Chaos Demon Gods debated fleeing but chose to carry out the Life Heavenly Maiden’s plan as all beings across the Primordial World bowed before Pangu.

As Pangu reincarnated and reshaped the Primordial World, Li Fan and the other Hunyuan beings secretly siphoned off its origin to strengthen themselves. Pangu eventually warned them, and Li Fan stopped while Houtu kept absorbing; the chapter ended with Hongjun resenting Li Fan for leaving him out and drawing Pangu’s attention.

• Pangu’s reincarnation caused strange changes across the Primordial World, and Hongjun wondered whether they foretold the Immeasurable Kalpa.
• Li Fan used the Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearls to secretly absorb Primordial origin, and Wangshu, Taiyuan, Nuwa, and Houtu joined in.
• The stolen origin strengthened Li Fan and the others, while Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones watched and wondered who was paying the cost.
• After another One Eon, Li Fan urged the others to stop when he sensed Pangu’s displeasure, but Houtu continued absorbing origin.
• Pangu sent a warning that intimidated the Hunyuan Grand Unity beings, then withdrew without punishing them; Li Fan joked that Pangu was sensible.
• Hongjun complained that Li Fan had excluded him and left him to be singled out by Pangu.

Hongjun fused his three corpse incarnations and transformed his Heavenly Dao Saint position into the independent Limitless Primordial Saint position. He declared his Dao complete as his new power resounded across the realms, while Chen Sheng watched anxiously from the Human Race altar.

• Hongjun prepared to merge his three corpse Primordial Spirits and remake his Ninth Saint position as the Limitless was born.
• Chen Sheng watched from the Human Race Altar as Hongjun’s rising pressure forced beings across the Earth Immortal Realm to kneel, and he resolved to protect his clansmen.
• Hongjun reunited his Good, Evil, and Obsession corpses with his main Primordial Spirit and reshaped his old Heavenly Dao Saint position into a new Limitless Saint position.
• The Great Dao resisted Hongjun’s transformation with tribulations, but Hongjun used the Jade Butterfly of Creation to block them.
• Hongjun fused his Divine Soul, will, and Primordial Dao Fruit with the new Saint position, then proclaimed himself the Limitless Primordial Supreme Saint and declared his Dao complete.

Li Fan recognized that the Primordial World’s Immeasurable Kalpa was rooted in a systemic cycle that could not be escaped by ordinary reform, and resolved to break the deadlock himself. He appointed Yaochi to reorganize the Primordial World’s factions with sweeping authority, beginning a crackdown on those who defied the Heavenly Emperor, especially the Demon Race.

• Li Fan surveyed the recurring cycles of dynastic collapse and karmic reckoning, concluding that the Immeasurable Kalpa threatened the entire Primordial World.
• Li Fan traveled to the Western Haotian Realm and summoned Yaochi, declaring that he would create his own way to break the deadlock.
• Li Fan ordered Yaochi to reorganize all forces in the Primordial World and kill anyone who obstructed her or defied his authority.
• Li Fan gave Yaochi temporary imperial authority to command the heavenly realm’s Grand Unity Experts and execute those who refused discipline.
• Yaochi mobilized the Western Haotian Realm and issued decrees to begin reorganizing factions across the Primordial World.
• Li Fan turned his attention toward the increasingly defiant Demon Race and prepared to restore order under his rule.

Yaochi led the Hall of Myriad Gods in a sweeping campaign to restore order across the Primordial World, purging the Demon Race and cracking down on corrupt human factions. Li Fan watched the new order take hold, but viewed it only as the first step toward preparing for the approaching Immeasurable Kalpa.

• Yaochi announced the Heavenly Emperor’s decree, and the Hall of Myriad Gods and the Star Gods mobilized to suppress disobedient forces across the Primordial World.
• The Innate and Postnatal Deities, joined by the Dragon Clan, enforced the decree and launched a purge of the Demon Race.
• Yaochi oversaw the destruction of the Demon Race’s three strongholds and ordered its chief Wicked demoted to mortals under the supervision of All Heavens.
• Yaochi and the Hall of Myriad Gods confronted human Righteous Path Practitioners who exploited the people and claimed to represent the Human Race orthodoxy.
• For a hundred thousand years, the Hall of Myriad Gods enforced the new rules, and the forces of the Prehistoric Universe accepted the Heavenly Emperor’s authority.
• Li Fan watched order return and concluded that the campaign was only the first step in preparing the people for the approaching Immeasurable Kalpa.

The Life Heavenly Maiden and the Creation Demoness launched a scheme to force Pangu into reincarnation as the Life Heavenly Maiden’s child. Their array began dragging him from Primordial Reincarnation and stripping away his power, leaving Pangu furious and on the verge of being reborn.

• Yaochi returned to the Haotian Realm after handling Li Fan’s matter, and Li Fan crossed the Great Thousand Worlds to join her on the way to the Grand Unity Palace.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden began her family-planning scheme, combining the Three Pure Ones’ and Twelve Ancestral Witches’ bloodlines to bind Pangu through the Great Dao of Life.
• Pangu sensed the Life Heavenly Maiden’s scheme in Primordial Reincarnation and angrily cursed her, while Houtu, Taishang, Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Xuanming realized what was happening.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden began the Heaven-Defying Reincarnation Array, and the Creation Demoness arrived to help her, seeking revenge on Pangu for the past.
• The two demonesses joined Life and Creation powers to seize Pangu’s soul, drain his heaven-opening power, and compress his Divine Soul until he was almost about to be born.

Li Fan stopped Creation Demoness and Life Heavenly Maiden from disrupting Pangu's reincarnation, but the Three Pure Ones' meddling led to the birth of Pangu's fourth Pure One, Xuanqing. Li Fan appointed Xuanqing to govern the Xuanyuan Great Dao, leaving the Primordial World with a new Innate Saint.

• Li Fan suppressed Creation Demoness and Life Heavenly Maiden, restoring Pangu's stripped heaven-opening power and freeing him from their Reincarnation Array.
• The Three Pure Ones used their subtracting-to-seek-emptiness method on Pangu, causing Xuanqing to be born from a wisp of Pangu's origin.
• Xuanqing's arrival shook the Primordial All Heavens, and Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Hongjun, and Yunxiao reacted to the new Pangu lineage Saint.
• Li Fan formally appointed Xuanqing to govern the Xuanyuan Great Dao, and Xuanqing accepted his decree.

Xuanqing established ten cultivation sequences that let beings of any race advance by drawing on the Primordial World's source, opening a path to become an Acquired Saint. As the new system stirred the Primordial World and altered the Immeasurable Kalpa, Chaos Demon Gods tried to steal the source directly, triggering a vast calamity and the descent of the Demon God of Truth.

• The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors sealed humanity's history into an enduring Humanity Dao foundation, and Xuanqing proclaimed ten cultivation sequences across the Primordial World.
• Beings across the Primordial World learned that the sequences offered a path to Acquired Sainthood regardless of birth or race, and Grand Unity experts celebrated the opportunity.
• Hongjun woke from seclusion and believed Pangu had favored Xuanqing, while the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, Fuxi, and Xuanyuan weighed the consequences of the changes.
• Li Fan anticipated that greedy beings would attempt to seize the Primordial World's source, and Chaos Demon Gods began extracting it directly to steal the Acquired Saint Dao Fruit.
• The Primordial World's source trembled, the ten cultivation sequences flickered, and the Demon God of Truth descended as a vast calamity began.
