Chapter Summaries

The Ancestral Witches analyzed Tai Yi’s Black Hole Nirvana and concluded that his mastery of their Great Daos came from the Great Dao of Devouring. Houtu identified his path as a form of Proving Dao by Devouring, and the chapter left the witches questioning whether Tai Yi was collapsing the universe back toward its state before heaven was opened.

• Gong Gong, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou described how Tai Yi’s Black Hole displayed powers resembling their Great Daos.
• Houtu concluded that Tai Yi had reached extraordinary heights in all Twelve Ancestral Witches’ domains.
• Di Jiang proposed that Tai Yi was cultivating only the Great Dao of Devouring, which produced command over other Daos as he devoured and transformed everything.
• Houtu identified Tai Yi’s process as a path of Opening of Heaven and Earth through devouring, contrasting it with Pangu’s creation of order from Chaos.
• Houtu showed the witches how Tai Yi’s Black Hole drew matter, energy, space, and time toward a Singularity, prompting Zhu Jiuyin to ask if he was reversing the opening of heaven.

Houtu and the Ancestral Witches realized that Tai Yi's devouring could let him understand all laws and open a new world in Chaos, beyond the Prehistoric World. Houtu urged the Twelve Ancestral Witches to seek their own path into Chaos and proposed uniting their twelve Great Daos.

• Houtu explained that Tai Yi devoured matter and laws to understand their essences, potentially opening a new world from ultimate collapse.
• Di Jiang deduced that Tai Yi sought to become a Heaven Opener who could define a world beyond the Prehistoric framework.
• Houtu compared the Witches’ role as guardians of Pangu’s world with Tai Yi’s ambition to understand and conquer Chaos.
• Qiang Liang asked what the Ancestral Witches should do as Tai Yi pursued a path beyond theirs.
• Houtu declared that Pangu’s descendants were not bound to remain in his world and could carve out their own paths in Chaos.
• Houtu proposed that the Twelve Ancestral Witches find a core path to fuse and unify their twelve Great Daos.

Houtu helped the Twelve Ancestral Witches realize that the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array was Father God's inheritance for integrating their Great Daos and beginning a path to evolve Chaos. The witches committed to cultivating through the array and using it to open a greater heaven and earth.

• Di Jiang questioned how the Twelve Ancestral Witches could integrate Great Daos that differed or conflicted.
• Houtu explained that the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array modeled Father God's method of opening heaven and could guide them toward integrating more Great Daos.
• Houtu proposed that the witches use their twelve Great Daos as the foundation for their own path of Chaos evolution, distinct from Tai Yi's path and the Three Pure Ones' path.
• The Ancestral Witches embraced Houtu's proposal and vowed to study how their Great Daos connected, transformed, and derived one another through the array.
• Twelve pillars of Dao light appeared in the Nether Palace and formed the phantom of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array.

Watching Tai Yi risk everything by undergoing Nirvana in Chaos, Zhen Yuanzi recognized that his own cultivation had been held back by caution despite Lu Jun’s repeated advice to advance without fear. He began to reconsider his path, trusting that Lu Jun would have warned him if it contained a fatal flaw.

• Zhen Yuanzi watched Tai Yi’s Black Hole Egg take shape in Chaos and was struck by Tai Yi’s resolve to attempt Nirvana without the safety of the Sun Star.
• Zhen Yuanzi recalled Lu Jun urging Tai Yi to use his Three Corpses without hesitation and remembered receiving similar advice himself.
• Zhen Yuanzi recognized that his own avatars and arrangements had expanded only within what he considered a safe limit, unlike Tai Yi’s all-or-nothing gamble.
• Zhen Yuanzi concluded that Tai Yi had combined becoming a Chaos Demon God with completing Nirvana, risking total destruction for greater gains.
• Zhen Yuanzi touched the Ginseng Fruit Tree as it trembled in response to his resolve and reasoned that Lu Jun would have warned him if his path had a fatal flaw.

Zhen Yuanzi took Lu Jun’s lack of warning as confirmation that his path was sound and underwent a Nirvana of the Dao Heart, sending stronger Ginseng Fruit Incarnations into dangerous regions across All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. As he vowed to become the ancestor of all worlds, Jieyin and Zhunti sensed Tai Yi’s Nirvana from Mount Sumeru and saw that he had already reached the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

• Zhen Yuanzi concluded that Lu Jun would have warned him if his path were mistaken and resolved to advance without hesitation.
• Zhen Yuanzi poured more origin energy into the thirty Ginseng Fruits and sent their stronger incarnations into perilous worlds and forbidden lands.
• Zhen Yuanzi’s Dao Heart broke through as the Ginseng Fruit Tree resonated with the Great Dao, and he embraced a bolder approach to his incarnations.
• Zhen Yuanzi bowed toward Lu Jun and resolved to become the ancestor of all worlds.
• At Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti witnessed Tai Yi’s stabilized Black Hole Egg and recognized the aura of a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

After returning from the River of Time, Jieyin and Zhunti learned how far the Prehistoric World had changed and were shaken by Tai Yi's Primordial Grand Unity cultivation while he was still an egg. They were left questioning whether their constrained paths had made them the weakest and most limited Saints.

• Jieyin struggled to understand how Tai Yi could radiate Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura before hatching, unlike other Innate Divine Beings who transformed after accumulating their foundations.
• Zhunti recalled the breakthroughs and new paths taken by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Nuwa, Fuxi, the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Zhen Yuanzi, and others while Jieyin and Zhunti were away.
• Zhunti lamented that he and Jieyin remained restricted by their half wisps of Primordial Violet Qi and their ties to the Western Lands, while Tai Yi had reached Primordial Grand Unity through Nirvana in Chaos.
• Zhunti dropped the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and wondered whether he and Jieyin were the weakest and most limited Saints.
• Jieyin concluded that they had been wrong, as Tai Yi's direct path to Primordial Grand Unity seemed to demand bold action rather than endless cautious accumulation.

Jieyin and Zhunti recognized that their cautious scheming had kept them from daring to pursue the Great Dao, but they began plotting to use Minghe’s desperation to obtain his Karma Fire Red Lotus. In the Blood Sea, Minghe witnessed Tai Yi’s Nirvana and silently clenched his fist, leaving his response unresolved.

• Jieyin admitted that he and Zhunti had relied on schemes and avoided the risks required to pursue true achievement.
• Zhunti proposed exploiting the Chaos era and Minghe’s frustration to advance the Buddhist Sect’s salvation and demand the Twelve-Petaled Karma Fire Red Lotus.
• Jieyin agreed that the next encounter with one of Minghe’s Blood God Son avatars might be the time to make their demand.
• Daoist Minghe witnessed Tai Yi’s Nirvana through the Blood Sea’s perception and the Path of Slaughter’s resonance.
• Minghe silently clenched his fist until blood from the Blood Sea’s origin seeped into his palm.

Minghe resolved to send the Asura Clan to the Western Buddhist Sect and create a new race that purified negative forces. He planned to use the race’s creation and the return of his Blood God Sons to unite his Three Corpses and break through his cultivation bottleneck.

• Minghe recalled how Tai Yi had repaid the Golden Crow Clan’s debt by having Lu Jun guide him, but he had been too afraid to follow that guidance and advance.
• Minghe concluded that Jieyin and Zhunti would seek him out as the Chaos era approached, and planned to send the Asura Clan with them into the Buddhist Sect.
• Minghe decided that removing the Asura Clan would purify the Blood Sea and let him attempt creating a new race.
• Minghe envisioned a changeable race that could devour resentment, transform Karmic Force, and purify evil and filth.
• Minghe planned to use the new race’s merit, the Blood Sea’s origin, and the return of his Four Hundred and Eighty Million Blood God Sons to balance his Good and Evil Corpses and attempt Three Corpses Unite.

Minghe committed to forging his own Blood Sea path of purification and ending as Tai Yi's Black Hole Egg began creating a new universe. Lu Jun learned that the newborn universe had not yet fixed its spacetime structure, and his system offered him the chance to become one of its first native stars.

• Minghe declared that he would follow his own path of Blood Sea purification and ending.
• Lu Jun watched Tai Yi's Black Hole Egg pulse as it formed an independent spacetime structure with its own physical laws.
• Lu Jun's system assessed that Tai Yi was creating a new universe and reported that its physical constants were stabilizing with a slight deviation from the main universe.
• Lu Jun's system recommended deploying a Star Avatar to become one of the newborn universe's first native stars and asked whether to execute the plan.
• Lu Jun considered what it would mean to become one of the first stars in Tai Yi's universe.

Lu Jun imprinted part of his existence into Tai Yi’s newborn universe, gaining a chance to witness its creation. As the universe unfolded, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth transformed into the framework of its laws and constants before disintegrating.

• Lu Jun agreed to use his Star Shepherding authority to imprint an avatar into the newborn universe.
• The system extracted his stellar authority and sent his essence through a light ribbon into the Black Hole Egg.
• Lu Jun’s consciousness witnessed Tai Yi unfolding the universe from quantum foam and defining its spacetime, matter, and laws.
• The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth reconstructed its nine levels into components that established the universe’s constants, dimensions, and nascent consciousness.
• The pagoda disintegrated after its final level completed its transformation.

Tai Yi transformed the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Measure Ruler into the order and measurement laws of a new universe, while his own being became its energy and consciousness. Through the system link, Lu Jun witnessed Tai Yi's creation and ultimate transformation into the universe itself.

• The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth became the framework of innate order supporting Tai Yi's Universe.
• The Primordial Measure Ruler became the universe's measurement system, establishing standards and a self-consistent causal logic.
• Tai Yi fused the order framework, measurement system, and his own origin to create a complete, evolving universe.
• Tai Yi's consciousness spread throughout the universe as he became its true body and laws.
• Lu Jun witnessed the transformation through the system link and recognized that postnatal treasures could reverse into innate forces through creation.

Tai Yi established the Newborn Universe’s foundations of order and measurement, then struggled to decide how to shape it. Lu Jun’s Star Avatar appeared as a First-generation Neutron Star, giving Tai Yi a model for building a universe of stars.

• The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Measure Ruler became foundations of the Newborn Universe, establishing order and measurement.
• Tai Yi rejected copying Pangu’s continental universe and considered creating a world shaped by stars.
• Lu Jun’s Star Avatar completed its transformation into a First-generation Neutron Star and appeared within Tai Yi’s universe.
• Tai Yi discovered Lu Jun’s Great Dao Imprint at the neutron star’s core and recognized the star as a template for his universe.

Tai Yi abandoned the idea of imitating the Prehistoric World’s continents and shaped the Newborn Universe around spherical celestial bodies. He created stars, planetary systems, galaxies, and a cosmic web, leaving a complete but still unstable Star Universe taking form.

• Tai Yi realized that spheres were a natural, stable structure under gravity and resolved to create a universe of celestial bodies instead of continents.
• Tai Yi gathered primordial hydrogen and helium clouds into spheres and ignited the first star, then created billions more stars from his origin.
• Tai Yi designed different kinds of stars and predetermined their evolutionary fates, including supernovae, white dwarfs, and black dwarfs.
• Tai Yi formed protoplanetary disks and created terrestrial planets, gas giants, and ice giants around the stars.
• Tai Yi shaped galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, and a cosmic web, while Lu Jun’s system warned that the universe still needed more massive celestial bodies to stabilize its spacetime framework.

Lu Jun helped Tai Yi connect his newborn spherical universe to Chaos through the Nirvana Egg, allowing energy and information to flow between them. As Tai Yi’s creation neared completion, Lu Jun recorded the new universe’s laws and reflected on the distinct paths taken by Tai Yi and Pangu.

• Lu Jun sent Tai Yi a system reminder that his isolated newborn universe needed a connection to Chaos and suggested using the Nirvana Egg as a two-way channel.
• Tai Yi adjusted the Nirvana Egg so it transformed Chaos Qi into ordered energy for the universe and expelled byproducts back into Chaos.
• Lu Jun stabilized his Neutron Star Avatar in the new universe and made it send law-resonance signals through the Nirvana Egg to his Main Body.
• Lu Jun recorded the newborn universe’s physical constants, spacetime structure, and evolution while comparing it with the Great Desolation World.
• Tai Yi’s creation process approached completion as the universe’s star formation and spacetime stability continued to rise.

Lu Jun watched Tai Yi complete the first stage of creating a new universe and gained an eternal connection to it, along with several system rewards. The chapter then shifted to the four Saint-level guardians surrounding Tai Yi’s Nirvana Egg as its devouring power continued to grow.

• Lu Jun observed Tai Yi’s universe stabilize, with the Nirvana Egg becoming a Universe Gate linking it to Great Desolation Chaos.
• Lu Jun gained the status of an Innate Star in Tai Yi’s Universe, recorded the creation process, and secured a bridge between the two universes.
• The system rewarded Lu Jun with the Creation Witness title, Newborn Universe Primordial Lifeform Status, Universe Bridge Construction Authority, and Creation Law Enlightenment.
• Lu Jun reflected on how Tai Yi’s new universe could change the Prehistoric World and decided to wait for it to nurture life.
• Di Jun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Star Demon God formed a protective barrier around Tai Yi’s enormous Nirvana Egg.
• As the Egg’s devouring power surged, the guardians warned one another to fall back.

Tai Yi’s Nirvana Egg repeatedly surged in power, forcing Di Jun and the other Saints to retreat as its devouring vortex approached the Great Desolation World. Di Jun and Fuxi detected faint energy backflow and concluded that the Black Hole was breathing, drawing in Chaos while apparently returning something from within.

• The Nirvana Egg’s gravity and devouring range repeatedly increased, forcing Di Jun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Star Demon God to retreat with their Barrier.
• The Eighth and Ninth Crown Princes fled to the Great Desolation Edge and watched as the vortex’s reach threatened the Prehistoric World.
• Di Jun studied the Chaos energy flows and noticed faint backflow alongside the Nirvana Egg’s increasingly powerful pulses.
• Fuxi used the Eight Trigrams Disk to identify a new web-like structure in the devouring and sensed that something was being fed back from inside the Black Hole.
• Di Jun and Fuxi recognized the Nirvana Egg’s alternating intake and return as a breathing cycle.

Di Jun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Star Demon God investigated the strange cycles and devouring power surrounding Tai Yi's Nirvana Egg. They discovered signs of an alien law system, and Nuwa concluded that Tai Yi might have created something during his Nirvana.

• Fuxi said the Nirvana Egg's pulsation resembled breathing, while Nuwa sensed an unfamiliar exchange of laws behind it.
• The Nirvana Egg unleashed a sudden devouring force strong enough to threaten a Saint's true body, forcing Di Jun, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the Star Demon God to retreat.
• The Star Demon God showed the Saints how Chaos gas flowed toward the egg in a precise, layered pattern that encoded information.
• Fuxi failed to capture the faint law fragments emerging from the egg, and said they seemed to come from another world.
• Nuwa wondered whether Tai Yi had completed creation as well as Nirvana.

Di Jun, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the Star Demon God realized that Tai Yi might be nurturing a world inside the Nirvana Egg rather than creating one through Pangu’s method. As the egg began radiating ordered laws into Chaos, Fuxi suddenly objected to their conclusion.

• The Star Demon God doubted that Tai Yi could use Creation Law, and Di Jun suggested Tai Yi might be following a different path to enlightenment.
• Nuwa and Fuxi theorized that Tai Yi was using himself as a seed and devouring as nourishment to grow a world inside the Nirvana Egg.
• The Nirvana Egg pulsed faster and released strands of light that carried runes into Chaos, subtly reducing its disorder and establishing order.
• The Star Demon God compared the law exchange to the birth of Great Desolation Heaven and Earth and explained that a complete world could form a Law Radiation Zone in Chaos.
• Fuxi proposed that Tai Yi had already opened a complete world inside the Nirvana Egg, and the Star Demon God said the signs resembled a newborn world connected to Chaos like an umbilical cord.
• Fuxi suddenly interrupted the discussion with the word “No.”

Lu Jun explained that Tai Yi was creating a new Star Universe inside the Nirvana Egg, using laws and a structure unlike Prehistoric World. He revealed that his Star Avatar had become one of the newborn universe’s Innate Stars, and Di Jun asked him to explain the creation process in detail.

• The gathered beings questioned whether Tai Yi could truly be creating a world, since the Chaos showed none of the signs associated with Pangu’s creation.
• Lu Jun emerged from the Chaos and declared that Tai Yi was creating another kind of heaven, not a world like Pangu’s.
• Lu Jun described a universe of spherical stars and planets governed by gravity, curved spacetime, finite light speed, and accelerating expansion.
• Lu Jun explained that Tai Yi had begun from a Singularity and that his own Star Avatar had become one of the newborn universe’s Innate Stars.
• Di Jun asked Lu Jun to recount how Tai Yi began creating the universe, how it formed, and what had happened to Lu Jun.

Lu Jun explained how Tai Yi transformed into the Star Universe and described its physical laws, structures, and potential for life. Di Jun and the Saints learned that Tai Yi remained alive as the universe’s laws, having traded his individual form and freedom for eternal existence.

• Lu Jun recounted how Tai Yi used the Great Dao of Devouring and two transformed treasures to create the Star Universe and establish its laws and structures.
• Lu Jun described the universe’s stars, planets, galaxies, accelerated expansion, and the possible development of life, resolving the observers’ questions about the Nirvana Egg.
• Di Jun asked whether Tai Yi had opened a complete world and remained alive, and Lu Jun confirmed both.
• Lu Jun explained that Tai Yi had become the Star Universe’s natural laws and that his will permeated its stars, planets, and physical processes.
• Fuxi asked what price Tai Yi had paid, and Lu Jun said Tai Yi had surrendered his individual form and freedom in exchange for eternity as the universe.
