Chapter Summaries

Zhou Jun and Di Kun questioned the origin and purpose of Primordial Violet Qi, suspecting Hongjun had refined it from his flesh and fragments of the Creation Jade Disk as part of a scheme. Their speculation broadened to Hongjun’s plans for the Saints and the human race, leaving them uncertain about the motives behind key events in the Primordial Wilderness.

• Zhou Jun proposed that he and Di Kun could retrace Hongjun’s path, but Di Kun noted that each person’s Dao was unique and questioned how anyone else could obtain Primordial Violet Qi.
• Zhou Jun and Di Kun questioned whether Heavenly Dao had bestowed Primordial Violet Qi, pointing to the Saint Fall Altar and Hongjun’s other treasures as evidence that the story did not add up.
• Zhou Jun proposed that Hongjun had refined Primordial Violet Qi from fragments of the Creation Jade Disk and his own body, and Di Kun agreed that the theory seemed plausible.
• Zhou Jun feared Hongjun had lured living beings with Primordial Violet Qi and speculated that Hongjun might have arranged the later disappearance of the six Saints; the author briefly remarked that he could not move the characters to another world.
• Di Kun questioned why Hongyun’s life had been exchanged for a strand of Primordial Violet Qi and whether the reincarnations of Fuxi, Black Tortoise, and Hongyun into the human race were truly dictated by fate.

Zhou Jun and Di Kun discussed the mysteries behind merit, the Saints, Hongyun, and the North Sea Black Tortoise before turning to their plans for the Burial Ground and the development of Di Kun’s creations. Zhou Jun revealed that the beings were gathering Fortune and generating faith, suggesting a hidden Divine Path or Path of Faith.

• Di Kun argued that Primordial Violet Qi absorbed merit and questioned why Nuwa and the Flame Emperor withdrew from the world despite their merits.
• Zhou Jun and Di Kun speculated about Hongyun’s nature and the North Sea Black Tortoise’s contributions, then Zhou Jun decided to focus on their own plans rather than distant mysteries.

• Zhou Jun said the Elves had created fire, clothes, and houses without earning merit, though Fortune was gathering around them and faith in Di Kun had already arisen.
• Zhou Jun suggested that a hidden Divine Path or Path of Faith existed, but said he did not yet know who had concealed or altered it.

Zhou Jun and Di Kun pursued their plans to investigate and develop the Primordial Starry Sky while the races they had brought there adapted and built communities. Zhou Jun’s records of their development began forming a mysterious connection with him, which he continued to investigate.

• Zhou Jun and Di Kun discussed how human temperament might suit the Sect of Interception, while the Elf race might fit Primeval Lord of Heaven’s lineage.

As the Calamity Qi spread across the Primordial World, Di Kun accepted that he could not avoid the calamity and set out to approach the Earth Dragon Clan.

• Diming explained that the clan’s three Elders cultivated inside the Earth Virtue Hall and passed their insights to the clansmen through bloodline inheritance, prompting Di Kun to marvel at their good fortune.

Di Kun found that the Earth Dragon Clan possessed a Creation Jade Disc Fragment and watched three Elders use it to comprehend an Earthly Dao ability. After judging the fragment’s potential dangers and the Elders’ survival-focused technique, he examined it while the Elders came to greet him.

• Di Kun asked Diming to take him to the secluded Elders and found a Creation Jade Disc Fragment floating between them.
• Di Kun monitored the Elders as they studied the fragment and asked Diming where the clan had discovered it.
• Diming explained that Elder Difu had found the fragment at the clan grounds after receiving a sudden intuition during the evacuation.
• The three Elders comprehended a technique that used Earth Vein Turbid Qi, sand, and gravel to hinder enemies, which Di Kun recognized as mostly defensive.
• Di Kun took the fragment and saw two flowing Dao marks within it, then decided to watch for signs of influence from Chaos Gods and Demons.
• Diming brought Difu, Tuyuan, and Diyou before Di Kun, and the three Elders greeted their Ancestor.

Di Kun returned to the Earth Dragon Clan, promised to guide them through the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, and prepared to help them cultivate the Earthly Dao. After studying the Creation Jade Disk fragment, he realized Hongjun and the other Chaos Gods and Demons already knew about the Grand Unity Dao Fruit and wondered why Hongjun had proposed the Immortal path.

• Di Kun told Diming and the Elders that he had come to help the clan survive the Ferocious Beast Tribulation and inspect the Creation Jade Disk fragment.
• Diming and Difu explained that the Earth Dragon Clan faced danger from other Innate Races and that most clansmen struggled to cultivate the Earthly Dao.

Di Kun taught the Earth Dragon Clan the Earthly Dao while Zhou Jun investigated how to unite the elves’ and other beings’ histories into a Civilization. After engraving their origins on a Stone Tablet, Zhou Jun established the beginning of their Civilization and Legacy.

• Di Kun sent Zhou Jun his deductions about the Daluo Dao Fruit and Hongjun’s possible path, then began teaching the Earth Dragon Clan the Earthly Dao.
• Zhou Jun examined the connected stone slabs and deduced that their history lacked an account of their origin.
• Zhou Jun returned to Wuyi Mountain and carved the story of Di Kun creating the beings, their dispersal, and the Ancestral Vein’s migration.
• As Zhou Jun carved, he experienced the lives and development of the elves, Gnomes, Goblins, Dwarves, Tree Folk, and Stone People.
• The completed Stone Tablet became an Innate treasure that recorded their history, and the beings cried out, “Civilization! Legacy!”

Zhou Jun reflected on murals as vessels of history while the elves spread through the Primordial Land, developing through exploration, conflict, and trade. Their changes led him to suspect that the Saints and Hongjun had deliberately destroyed or concealed humanity’s ancient inheritances.

• Zhou Jun concluded that murals could preserve history and allow later generations to witness past eras, then recreated a video about the evolution of writing.
• As the elves explored beyond their birthplace, they recorded their discoveries on leaves and encountered hostile and peaceful races across the Primordial Land.
• Conflict and exchange helped the elves and Dwarves improve their weapons, spells, and understanding of the world, while making them more steadfast and aware of the need for strength.
• After reviewing the elves’ development, Zhou Jun decided that conflict and outside threats had helped civilizations grow and that the great races had earned recognition through their strength.
• Zhou Jun suspected that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity had targeted humanity’s inherited knowledge, and that Hongjun had concealed his own schemes behind an untarnished reputation.

Zhou Jun planned to send elves and other Earth Dao races out to restore the Primordial Land, then reshaped Wuyi Mountain by guiding its Earth Veins and forming a natural Mountain-Protecting Formation. His work strengthened Wuyi Mountain and began transforming the surrounding terrain, leaving nearby Innate Beings wary but benefiting from the changes.

• Zhou Jun considered sending the elves born from the original Tree of Life out to restore the Primordial Land alongside Earth Dragons, and thought of bringing in the Earth Qilin clan to stabilize Earth Veins.
• Zhou Jun decided to thoroughly transform Wuyi Mountain, his Daoist ground, and reflected on how a great power's Dao essence was tied to its home.
• Zhou Jun connected his Mana to Wuyi Mountain's Earth Veins, correcting their paths and using the terrain to form a Mountain-Protecting Formation.
• Zhou Jun learned to guide nature into forming formations, recognizing that natural formations could change with the land instead of collapsing as Earth Veins shifted.
• Wuyi Mountain absorbed Zhou Jun's Dao essence, grew stronger, and drew nearby mountains and rivers into changes that increased spiritual energy and helped local spiritual plants develop.
• Nearby Innate Beings sensed the rapid changes and worried about the unknown power on Wuyi Mountain, but they also enjoyed the improved environment and felt safer near his domain.

Wuyi Mountain’s expansion strengthened Zhou Jun’s control over its vast territory, and his Dao Fruit began to take shape. After investigating how Dao fields bore the Dao, Zhou Jun suspected a larger scheme involving the Chaos Gods and Demons, then sent most of the Elves out to explore and grow.

• Wuyi Mountain’s great array spread across hundreds of millions of li, giving Zhou Jun dominion over the region and raising his cultivation to the level of a Quasi-Saint.
• Zhou Jun suppressed the Twin-born Peony’s transformation and told it to strengthen its origin until the time was right.

• Zhou Jun transferred two-thirds of the beings in Wuyi Mountain Grotto-Heaven onto Wuyi Mountain, where the Elves began exploring.

Zhou Jun reflected on his growing Blessed Land and the limits of opening a separate world within the Primordial Wilderness, then weighed his next plans. He headed for Mount Zhou to investigate its secrets, leaving his Western Land scheme for later.

• Zhou Jun rested in his Blessed Land and reflected on how his and Di Kun’s opposing natures had come to guide their decisions together.
• Zhou Jun realized that merging Wuyi Mountain’s Blessed Lands had strengthened his domain and the mountain’s origin, but had not turned it into a world.
• Zhou Jun concluded that a world formed within the Primordial Wilderness would remain under its Heavenly Dao, while his strengthened Blessed Land would still benefit his Earth Dao and disciples.
• Zhou Jun thought of a new plan and sent it to Di Kun to decide whether to carry it out.
• Zhou Jun considered continuing his Western Land scheme or visiting Mount Zhou, then chose to head to Mount Zhou and investigate its secrets.

After teaching the Earth Dragon Clan, Di Kun studied Zhou Jun’s Inner World method and learned through the Creation Jade Disc Fragment that the Fierce Beast army had reached Mount Zhou. He chose to stay out of the coming war and ordered the Earth Dragon Clan to help from the rear, leaving him to pursue his plans cautiously.

• Di Kun’s Dao teachings helped the Earth Dragon Clan Leader, three Elders, and two other members break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

• Hongjun entered Mount Zhou Territory, met many experts, and offered them cultivation guidance before going into seclusion.

• The Creation Jade Disc Fragment later warned Hongjun that the Great Dao had changed and the plan could no longer destroy Innate Beings.
• Hongjun and his hidden collaborators failed to identify who had disrupted their scheme, but traced the emergence of the Star Spirits, Star Tree, Meteors, and unfamiliar races to Mount Zhou.

Hongjun and the Creation Jade Disc Fragment discussed an unknown being who might possess a Creation Jade Disc Fragment and threaten their plans. Hongjun planned to organize the Kalpa of Calamity to expose the suspect and eliminate Di Kun, while secretly hoping to seize control of Di Kun’s Earthly Dao.

• Hongjun questioned the Creation Jade Disc Fragment about an unknown being, and it listed possible beings powerful enough to evade their divinations.
• The Creation Jade Disc Fragment explained that it had hidden contingencies and urged Hongjun to connect with the Primordial Wilderness so they could locate a mature Chaos Green Lotus seed.
• Hongjun realized the Chaos Gods and Demons had concealed schemes from him, but decided not to press them after they revealed some of their plans.
• Hongjun proposed organizing the Kalpa of Calamity to draw out anyone with a Creation Jade Disc Fragment and eliminate suspicious rivals.
• Hongjun named Di Kun as a target because he might attain Dao Fruit, but privately intended to claim Di Kun’s Earthly Dao if he fell.

Di Kun investigated the attempt to deduce him and considered why Hongjun was spreading his Dao among the Innate Races. He ordered his clan to avoid Hongjun’s inheritance for now and resolved to refine the Creation Jade Disc Fragment, while his elders organized a separate branch for clansmen who would cultivate Hongjun’s Dao.

• Di Kun and Zhou Jun concealed themselves with treasures and merit when they sensed someone trying to deduce them, and Di Kun suspected the Chaos Gods and Demons were responsible.
• Diming reported that Hongjun had rescued Innate Races, taught them his Great Dao, and arrived near Mount Zhou to enter seclusion.
• Di Kun told Diming not to spread the Earthly Dao yet and barred their clan from cultivating Hongjun’s Dao, except for clansmen who left to establish a separate branch.
• Di Kun reasoned that Hongjun’s Dao-spreading might relate to his own actions and questioned the truth behind Hongjun’s eventual Merge with the Dao.
• Di Kun decided to refine the Creation Jade Disc Fragment to uncover its secrets, while Diming and the elders arranged for clansmen with little aptitude to leave and cultivate Hongjun’s Dao.

Hongjun emerged from seclusion and announced that he would preach the Dao beneath Mount Zhou in a hundred years, while planning to use the gathering to rally the Innate Races against the Ferocious Beasts.

• Zhou Jun learned that the beings gathering at Mount Zhou had come to hear Hongjun preach, and he worried that Hongjun might achieve the Dao before him and Di Kun.
• Zhou Jun sent news of Hongjun’s preaching to Di Kun, then realized something and left without continuing toward the Center of Mount Zhou.

As Hongjun preached his Immortal Dao beneath Mount Zhou, he discovered that Zhou Jun’s created races resembled the Innate Dao Body and suspected their creator threatened his plans. Zhou Jun recognized troubling features in Hongjun’s Dao, left the lecture, then received a message from Di Kun that made him realize he had made a serious mistake.

• Primordial World Beings gathered at Mount Zhou to hear Hongjun preach, and Hongjun noticed the races created by Di Kun among them.
• Hongjun’s fragment of the Creation Jade Disk urged him to find the creator of the Elves and other races, leading him to suspect their Innate Dao Body traits threatened his plans.

• Di Kun sent Zhou Jun a message, and Zhou Jun turned toward Hongjun’s lecture and exclaimed that he had done something foolish.

While refining the Creation Jade Disk fragment, Di Kun gained a deeper understanding of the Rhythm Dao and learned that Zhou Jun had brought the Elves to hear Hongjun preach, risking their discovery. Di Kun proposed opening the Abyss after the Ferocious Beast Tribulation to divert Hongjun’s attention, and Zhou Jun agreed to consider doing so beneath the Center of Mount Zhou.

• Di Kun refined the Creation Jade Disk fragment, grasped the Rhythm Dao, and strengthened his Earthly Dao Fruit.

• Di Kun proposed opening the Abyss after the Ferocious Beast Tribulation to conceal heavenly secrets and draw attention toward the Residual Thoughts of Chaos Gods and Demons.
• Zhou Jun agreed not to act recklessly and suggested opening the Abyss beneath the Center of Mount Zhou.

Zhou Jun pushed toward the Center of Mount Zhou despite aggressive Resentment of Chaotic Gods and Demons, while Hongjun preached to the Elves and learned that someone else was approaching the mountain’s center. Hongjun recognized Di Kun nearby but grew anxious as he realized an unknown native expert was also moving toward the center.

• Hongjun saw Di Kun and confirmed he was present in his true body, then learned another person was still approaching the center.
