• Auspicious signs appeared when the chieftain of the You Xiong Clan’s qilin son was born, and Fuxi told Suiren Shi that the Human Emperor’s tribulation would be perilous and hard to foresee.
• Tongtian failed to deduce the source of a disturbance and examined Liu'er, discovering that his awakened Chaos Demon Ape bloodline made the Quasi-Saint path unsuitable for him.

After Shen Nong’s medicine spread and Kong Xuan was sent to the Human Race, Taixuan watched the unresolved schemes around Xuanyuan’s trial. In the Jiuli Tribe, Chiyou reached the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Realm, and Hou Yi wondered whether the Human Race bloodline had enabled it.

• Chiyou declared that he had entered the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Realm, and Hou Yi asked whether the Human Race bloodline was the cause.

• Chiyou emerged from the cauldron, declared his attainment as the Human Path Ancestor of Weapons, and received the approval of all three paths.

Chiyou became an Ancestral Witch, while Cangjie was born with innate wisdom and met Laozi’s incarnation, Li Dan.

Cangjie traveled among the races to study their scripts and sought a writing system all beings could understand, but he made no progress until Laozi brought him the Dao Inscriptions.

Meanwhile, Laozi and Yuanshi confronted Chaos Demon Gods as Tongtian searched the East Sea, and the birth of the Text of the Human Dao stunned Destiny.

• Li Dan continued teaching Cangjie the Dao Inscription as Taixuan, Houtu, and Nuwa created a Forbidden Restriction around them and spread a network of Laws throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Yuanshi and Laozi defeated the Destiny Demon God’s and Shichen’s avatars, then returned to the Primordial World as the Great Dao manifested and a Chaos Demon God invaded. Under Li Dan’s guidance, Cangjie created a script that culminated in the Great Dao manifesting and naming his book the Book of the Human Dao.

• After Taixuan left, Yuanshi proposed that the Three Pure Ones discuss the Dao, and they summoned their disciples to Biyou Palace.

The Three Pure Ones preached the Dao to their disciples in Biyou Palace, while Tongtian reflected on the Heavenly Dao and the Primordial Wilderness. Xuan Yuan decided to leave the Human Ancestral Land and spread the Martial Dao, setting out after Fuxi and the others agreed.
