Chapter Summaries

The Twelve Ancestral Witches decided to imprint core Heavenly Dao authorities with Earthly Dao power so Heaven and Earth would have to share control. At Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi sent countless incarnations to observe other worlds and deepen his Dao, but he remained troubled by the Three Corpses bound to the Book of the Earth and Earthly Dao.

• Di Jiang proposed contaminating and anchoring core Heavenly Dao authorities with Earthly Dao imprints instead of trying to seize them outright.
• Houtu ordered the Ancestral Witches to erode the foundations of corresponding Heavenly Dao authorities, while she supplied them with Earthly Dao power through Reincarnation.
• Zhen Yuanzi sent thirty Ginseng Fruit incarnations into countless worlds to observe their civilizations and Great Daos without interfering.
• Zhen Yuanzi used the returning insights from his incarnations to advance his understanding of the Earth Ancestor path and sustaining all things.
• Zhen Yuanzi recognized that one of his Three Corpses was bound to the Book of the Earth and Earthly Dao, leaving his Dao foundation incomplete.

Zhen Yuanzi struggled to reconcile his Three Corpses with Manifesting Billions of Avatars and decided to seek Lu Jun’s guidance. Nuwa revealed that she had two possible paths to advance: merging with the Human Path or pursuing the Way of Creation.

• Zhen Yuanzi weighed abandoning or reforging his Three Corpses, recognized that his confusion came from abandoning the Book of the Earth, and set out for the Sun Star to ask Lu Jun for guidance.
• Nuwa sensed that Taiqing Laozi had severed his third corpse, and Fuxi asked whether her own path forward was still clear.
• Nuwa told Fuxi that she could merge with the Human Path, and Fuxi explained that it would grant her power while binding her fate and actions to the Human Path.
• Nuwa named the Way of Creation as her second path, and Fuxi considered whether it could lead her to create rules, a realm, or an entire world.

Nuwa chose to pursue creation beyond merging with the Human Path and set out to seek Crown Prince Lu Jun’s insights. Meanwhile, Tai Yi proposed undergoing Nirvana before Di Jun so he could protect the Golden Crow Clan during Di Jun’s planned breakthrough, and Di Jun agreed.

• Nuwa told Fuxi that she would continue expanding her Way of Creation rather than make the Human Path her final destination.
• Nuwa asked Fuxi to protect the Human Race and Human Path while she explored, then traveled to the starry sky to consult Crown Prince Lu Jun.
• Di Jun sensed that Taiqing Laozi had severed his third corpse and said their plan to draw forth Pangu’s opportunity was nearing its crucial moment.
• Tai Yi warned that Di Jun would be vulnerable during his breakthrough and proposed undergoing Nirvana first to guard the Golden Crow Clan.
• Di Jun agreed that Tai Yi should undergo Nirvana first and hoped that Xi He would also complete her path, potentially giving their clan three Saints in one family.

Tai Yi and Di Jun agreed that Lu Jun should advise and protect them during Tai Yi’s future Nirvana. Di Jun then insisted that Tai Yi secure the Golden Crow bloodline by visiting the Phoenix Clan, leaving Tai Yi embarrassed and unable to refuse.

• Tai Yi urged Di Jun to involve Lu Jun in their Nirvana plans, and Di Jun agreed that Lu Jun would watch over them.
• Di Jun argued that Tai Yi must continue the Golden Crow bloodline because You Wen had entered the Buddhist Sect and could no longer handle the duty.
• Tai Yi resisted and suggested Di Jun take on the responsibility, but Di Jun said Xi He and Chang Xi would not allow it.
• Di Jun said Primordial Phoenix had offered to arrange a match with unmarried Phoenix Clan women at the Immortal Volcano.
• Tai Yi objected that the undertaking would distract him from Nirvana, but Di Jun countered that the union of Yin and Yang was part of the Great Dao.

Di Jun pressured Tai Yi to join with the Phoenix Clan and continue the Golden Crow bloodline, but Tai Yi fled rather than agree. As Di Jun considered the clan’s future, he sensed two powerful auras heading toward Lu Jun.

• Di Jun argued that a union with the Phoenix Clan could benefit Tai Yi and the Golden Crow Clan, then told him to prepare for the journey.
• Tai Yi, torn between his aversion to marriage and his duty to preserve his clan’s bloodline, stammered that the matter needed more thought and fled the Sun Star.
• Di Jun laughed at Tai Yi’s escape, then reflected seriously on the Golden Crow Clan’s dwindling pure-blood descendants and the dangers ahead.
• Di Jun sensed two formidable auras crossing the starry sky toward the place where Lu Jun resided.

• Nuwa sensed that Di Jun had an ulterior purpose, while Lu Jun remarked on the unusual gathering at his abode.

Di Jun asked Nuwa to help address the Golden Crow Clan’s dwindling pure-blood descendants, revealing that he was worried about Tai Yi’s failure to continue the bloodline. Nuwa eagerly played along, hoping to hear his plan, while Lu Jun sensed that he might be drawn into the scheme.

• Lu Jun opened his Star Egg to receive Di Jun, Nuwa, and Zhen Yuanzi, then hosted them with tea.
• Di Jun told Nuwa he had come to seek her help with a private matter concerning Tai Yi.
• Di Jun explained that Nirvana, You Wen’s entry into the Buddhist Sect, and the scarcity of descendants had endangered the Golden Crow Clan’s pure-blood inheritance.
• Di Jun said Tai Yi was the clan’s only remaining pure-blood Eastern Emperor but had shown no interest in continuing the bloodline.
• Nuwa solemnly agreed that the issue was important while secretly hoping Di Jun would explain his plan.

• Nuwa used her Saintly power to write Tai Yi’s name in the Book of Marriage.
• Di Jun urged Nuwa to tie the Red Thread, while Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Jun watched in astonishment.

• Primordial Phoenix returned to Immortal Volcano after Xi He received Di Jun’s message and began preparing suitable Phoenix Clan female immortals to meet Tai Yi.
• Primordial Phoenix personally received Tai Yi at the Phoenix Clan’s Holy Land, where he arrived stiff and radiating a cold aura.

• Primordial Phoenix hurried back to the Immortal Volcano and arranged a warm, carefully prepared welcome for Tai Yi.
• Primordial Phoenix directed Tai Yi to study near the Golden Crow Crown Princes’ Nirvana Eggs, where the Nirvana aura was strongest.
• Tai Yi recalled how Di Jun, Xi He, and Chang Xi had pressured him into visiting, suspecting they had arranged more than a simple cultivation exchange.
• Tai Yi went to one of his nephews’ Nirvana Eggs and noticed that the eggs had changed since Ninth Prince Ren Jing completed Nirvana and entered the Chaos Void.
• Tai Yi sensed that Eighth Prince De Kun’s Nirvana Egg was about to hatch.

Tai Yi studied his nephew De Shen’s approaching Nirvana, hoping to deepen his understanding of the Golden Crow bloodline’s path. While he meditated, Phoenix Clan Female Immortals arrived under Primordial Phoenix’s plan to draw near him, and Shuang Ling’s distinctive cultivation caught his attention.

• Tai Yi sensed that De Shen’s Nirvana Egg was nearing a transformation and immersed himself in sharing its bloodline rhythms to study Nirvana.
• A group of Phoenix Clan Female Immortals approached Tai Yi, but he warned them not to disturb his meditation, and they respectfully kept their distance.
• As time passed, the Female Immortals began carefully arranged exchanges with Tai Yi through their cultivation.
• Shuang Ling meditated nearby, displaying her Ice Crystal Phoenix Flame and Moonlight True Fire, whose cool Dao Rhythm inspired Tai Yi with new insight into stillness and purification.

Tai Yi gradually warmed to the Phoenix Clan’s female immortals as they shared their specialized insights and offered practical aid during his cultivation.

• Nuwa described her choice between merging with the Human Path for authority and pursuing the uncertain, boundless Way of Creation.
• Lu Jun realized Nuwa was seeking clues about her future, but he had not yet answered.

Lu Jun struggled to advise Nuwa on whether to merge with the Human Path or deepen her Way of Creation, realizing that the Prehistoric World had changed too much for his remembered knowledge to guide her safely. He remained unable to choose a path for her, aware that bad advice could bring immense Karma.

• Lu Jun recalled how Hongjun, Houtu, the Three Pure Ones, and other figures had taken unprecedented paths that made the Prehistoric World unpredictable.
• Lu Jun weighed Nuwa's options, considering the unstable Human Path and the risks of pursuing creation toward Pangu's level.
• Lu Jun admitted to himself that he was only a participant in the changing world, not an all-knowing source of guidance.
• Nuwa and Zhen Yuanzi waited for Lu Jun's advice, but he feared that directing Nuwa toward the wrong path could bring disaster and heavy Karma.

Lu Jun struggled to advise Nuwa on her choice of Dao path, admitting that the futures he knew might no longer apply and that her road had to be found for herself. Nuwa realized that neither merging with Human Dao nor pursuing the Way of Creation was her only option, while she sensed Ninth Prince Ren Jing transforming as he devoured Chaos Qi.

• Nuwa asked Lu Jun which Dao path she should take, and his silence revealed how deeply the question troubled him.
• Nuwa inferred that both merging with Human Dao and pursuing the Way of Creation were wrong paths for her.

• Nuwa understood that Lu Jun was urging her not to limit herself to the known choices and to seek another path.
• Nuwa extended her divine sense into Chaos and saw Ninth Prince Ren Jing absorbing Chaos Qi as his body and Dao Rhythm transformed.

Nuwa reconsidered her path after Ren Jing’s evolution toward becoming a Chaos Demon God, realizing that her Way of Creation did not have to remain confined to the Great Desolation World. She resolved to explore creation in Chaos and attempt to create Chaos Creatures and even Chaos Demon Gods.

• Nuwa recalled Ren Jing’s evolution in Chaos and reconsidered the hints he had given her about finding the Dao amid infinite variables.
• Nuwa realized that her ideas about creation had been confined to the rules and possibilities of the Great Desolation World.
• Nuwa considered using primordial Chaos Qi to create new life and possibly incomplete Chaos Demon Gods.
• Nuwa speculated that Hongjun’s withdrawal from Heavenly Dao authority might have reflected his own interest in going beyond the Great Desolation World.
• Nuwa declared that she would seek to become a source of creation in Chaos and explore its endless possibilities.

Nuwa believed Lu Jun had guided her toward creating new life and order in Chaos as a Creation Chaos Demon God, though Lu Jun had only been distracted by Ren Jing’s evolution. She explained her insight to Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, who remained unconvinced.

• Nuwa concluded that the path of a Creation Chaos Demon God meant leaving the Human Path’s safe framework and establishing new forms of life and order in Chaos.
• Nuwa rose in excitement, bowed to Lu Jun’s Star Egg, and thanked him for showing her a new path.
• Lu Jun was bewildered because he had not intended to guide Nuwa and had only been watching Ren Jing at the Edge of Chaos.
• Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda were stunned, and Zhen Yuanzi questioned what Nuwa had comprehended since Lu Jun had said nothing explicit.
• Nuwa pointed toward Ren Jing’s ongoing evolution and argued that Lu Jun’s attention to him had revealed the direction of her Dao path.

Nuwa realized that her Way of Creation could reach beyond the Prehistoric World into Chaos, and declared that she would try to create Chaos Demon Gods. Lu Jun was stunned by her interpretation of his actions but recognized that her idea might become a groundbreaking path.

• Nuwa explained that she had wrongly limited her Way of Creation to the rules of the Prehistoric World and that Chaos was the true origin of creation.
• Nuwa interpreted Ren Jing's Golden Crow Nirvana and evolution toward a Chaos Demon God Body as a revelation about creation in Chaos.
• Nuwa announced that she wanted to study Chaos's laws of creation and use Chaos Qi to create living beings, including Chaos Demon Gods.
• Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda were shocked by Nuwa's proposal but saw its immense potential.
• Lu Jun realized that Nuwa had drawn an extreme conclusion from his brief look at Ren Jing, then acknowledged that creating Chaos Demon God prototypes could be a major breakthrough.

Nuwa resolved to pursue a path beyond the Prehistoric World by comprehending Chaos Creation and attempting to create Chaos Demon Gods, crediting Lu Jun’s guidance and Ren Jing’s example. Zhen Yuanzi recognized the vast difference between her ambition and his own efforts to improve the existing world, while Lu Jun remained stunned by the responsibility his influence seemed to carry.

• Lu Jun reeled at the thought that his glance had guided Nuwa toward a path connected to Chaos, origin, and Creation.
• Nuwa basked in her revelation as Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda remained frozen in shock.
• Zhen Yuanzi praised Nuwa’s plan to comprehend Chaos Creation and attempt to create Chaos Demon Gods as an unprecedented new path.
• Nuwa told Zhen Yuanzi that Lu Jun’s silent guidance and Ren Jing’s evolutionary proof had convinced her that the path was real.
