Taichu defeated Hongjun and Luohu in Chaos, while the Earthly Dao gained strength and the Heavenly Dao revived its plans against its rivals. The Heavenly Dao sent Jidu to draw out the Heart of Life, prompting several Hunyuan Celestial Venerables to suspect a trap as Taichu and the Sanqing approached the disturbance.

• Taichu pushed the Chaos Star into the Primordial Wilderness, then refined it as the Heavenly Dao created a Fear Demon and demanded Hongjun surrender the Hongmeng Purple Qi refined by his Three Corpses.

As Taichu remained trapped in Chaos, Haotian and Yaochi founded the Heavenly Human Race, and the arc ended with Fangzhang Immortal Island emerging.

• Taichu and the Sanqing subdued the Heart of Life, then Taiqing persuaded the five Hunyuan Celestial Venerables to create worlds around the Primordial Wilderness.

• Haotian and Yaochi founded the Heavenly Human Race, but Houtu forced them to tie its members to the Earthly Dao’s reincarnation before they attained Sainthood.
