Ch. 1014Information on Pangu's Reincarnation

Li Yun met Yang Mei in the Chaos Sea, where Yang Mei recognized his Pangu bloodline but spared him and offered him Chaos Tea. Yang Mei suggested Pangu had reincarnated, leaving Li Yun to question whether such a being truly existed and to reconsider the motives behind the four Daos’ past schemes.

  • Li Yun arrived through the Space Tunnel, and Yang Mei reacted with hatred and killing intent upon recognizing his Pangu bloodline.

Yang Mei explained to Li Yun that Pangu survived his failed attempt to attain the Great Dao, concealed himself, and left behind a Great Dao Core that could let him try again. Li Yun understood that Yang Mei wanted to stop Pangu to protect the Chaos Demon Gods’ freedom, while Hongjun and Luohu remained alive because they might help find and kill Pangu.

  • Li Yun asked Yang Mei why the four Daos wanted him banished or lost in the River of Time despite his not being Pangu’s reincarnation.
  • Yang Mei explained that Li Yun’s bloodline and aptitude could make him a target for Pangu’s reincarnation, and that his choice to Attain Dao through Strength had made the four Daos view him as a threat.
  • Thunderous fighting drew Li Yun and Yang Mei’s attention, and Yang Mei saw that Hongjun and Laozi had joined forces against Luohu.
  • Yang Mei divined that Hongjun had offered Laozi a Chaos Demon God corpse in exchange for helping him fight Luohu, since they believed Luohu had taken the corpses from Zixiao Palace.
  • Li Yun asked Yang Mei to alter the secrets of heaven so every divination would point to Luohu and conceal Li Yun’s role in taking the corpses.

Ch. 1017Transferring causality, framing another

Li Yun persuaded Yang Mei to transfer the causality of the Chaos Demon God's corpse theft onto Luohu, with help from other Chaos Demon Gods. Luohu realized he had been framed and swore that he and Li Yun would not rest until one of them was dead.

Ch. 1020What Li Yun Sought, Yang Mei's Investment

Yang Mei supplied primordial golden bamboo for the clone in exchange for Li Yun's future help, and Li Yun began refining it.

They began registering beneath a great tree, where Old Zhang revealed that the seemingly extraordinary book was only a low-grade immortal artifact.

  • The Second Primordial Spirit emerged from the Ascension Pool and noticed the eighteen ascenders' extraordinary aptitudes, including a golden-haired woman with a dormant Chaos Colorful Phoenix marking.
