Chapter Summaries

Li Yun used the Law of Devour to accelerate the Heavenly Flower Bud’s absorption of Heavenly Dimensional Power, impressing Laozi, who helped him continue. Meanwhile, Ancestor Minghe arrived at the Witch Clan to deliver items for Laozi in exchange for the complete Ancestor Witch Body Refinement Technique, and the Ancestor Witches awaited his explanation.

• Li Yun infused the Heavenly Flower Bud with the Law of Devour, greatly increasing its absorption of Heavenly Dimensional Power without damaging it.
• Laozi recognized Li Yun’s Law of Devour and supported him by increasing the extraction of Heavenly Dimensional Power.
• Ancestor Minghe entered the Witch Clan under Great Witch Xing Tian’s guidance and met the Ancestor Witches in Pangu Hall.
• Ancestor Minghe asked the Ancestor Witches for their complete Body Refinement Technique inheritance in exchange for delivering items sent by someone else, provoking their anger.
• Xuanming calmed the Ancestor Witches and asked who had sent Minghe and what he was delivering.
• Ancestor Minghe revealed that Supreme Purity Laozi had sent him, and the Ancestor Witches eagerly asked what Laozi had entrusted to him.

Ancestor Minghe explained why the Three Pure Ones had entrusted him with the Nine Nether Seal and the Jade Talisman, revealing that he was part of the Pangu Lineage. Dijiang agreed to provide Minghe with the inherited Body Refinement Technique, and Minghe handed the two items to Xuanming.

• Minghe showed the Ancestor Witches the Nine Nether Seal and the Jade Talisman, explaining their value and suitability for Xuanming.
• Zhurong dismissed the Method of Attaining Dao through Law, but Minghe explained that Pangu's Law inheritance alone was not enough to attain Dao.
• Dijiang asked why Laozi trusted Minghe, and Minghe revealed that he was a collateral branch of the Pangu Lineage and had accepted Laozi's offer to act as a bridge.
• Dijiang agreed to give Minghe the contents of the inherited Body Refinement Technique and asked whether he could fulfill his part of the exchange.
• Minghe said he had sworn a Dao Heart Oath before leaving Kunlun Mountain, then gave the Jade Talisman and Nine Nether Seal to Xuanming to inspect.

Ancestor Minghe traded the Three Pure Ones' Attaining Dao through Law method for the Ancestor Witches' inheritances, and the Witch Clan began preparing to cultivate it in secret. Meanwhile, Nuwa struggled to choose disciples from the many Demon Clan youths gathered at Wa Huang Palace.

• Xuanming verified the items from Ancestor Minghe, confirmed the Nine Nether Seal suited her, and exchanged her inheritance for the complete method of Attaining Dao through Law.
• Ancestor Minghe traded with Dijiang and the other Ancestor Witches, then returned to the Sea of Blood to develop a stronger cultivation inheritance for himself.
• After reading the method, Dijiang urged the Ancestor Witches to perfect their Laws, and Zhujiuyin planned special training for Great Witches whose Laws had reached major completion.
• Nuwa told Fuxi that nearly a thousand Demon Clan youths had gathered to seek discipleship, far more than she intended to accept.

Nuwa weighed whether to establish a sect for the Demon Clan after Fuxi explained that refusing the Demon Gods would cost them their standing. Fuxi revealed his ambition to become Demon Emperor after the Witch-Demon Tribulation and warned that the Demon Clan planned to slaughter Humans for materials, leaving Nuwa shocked by the danger to the Human Race.

• Fuxi told Nuwa that refusing the Demon Gods would leave them with no place in the Demon Clan unless they severed ties with it.
• Nuwa proposed that Fuxi establish the sect and take the disciples, but Fuxi said they had come to follow her and revealed that he hoped to become Demon Emperor after the Tribulation.
• Nuwa agreed to help establish the sect, while warning Fuxi that the choice could not be undone and raising concerns about the Human Race.
• Fuxi dismissed the Human Race and told Nuwa that Human flesh and Three Souls and Seven Spirits could strengthen Demon Clan cultivators and weapons against the Witch Clan.
• Nuwa learned that Di Jun had tested the method and that the Demon Clan planned large-scale slaughter of the Human Race, and she cried out in shock.

Nuwa agreed to abandon the Human Race and establish a sect among the Demon Clan, but first she planned to trade the Human Race Destiny she held with Supreme Purity Laozi. She sent Fuxi to urge the Demon Clan to act quickly against Hong Yun before the Three Pure Ones could give his Hongmeng Purple Qi to Li Yun.

• Nuwa struggled to choose between the Human Race and the Demon Clan as Fuxi urged her to help the demons defeat the Witch Clan and become rulers of the Primordial World.
• Nuwa agreed to abandon the Human Race and establish a sect within the Demon Clan, while continuing her trials and assigning disciples according to their results.
• Nuwa chose Supreme Purity Laozi as the best Saint to approach about trading for the Human Race Destiny she controlled.
• Nuwa told Fuxi that Laozi was in the Outer Chaos helping Li Yun perfect his Heavenly Flower.
• Nuwa ordered Fuxi to tell Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the others to hasten their plan concerning Hong Yun before the Three Pure Ones could give his Hongmeng Purple Qi to Li Yun.

Li Yun’s Heavenly Flower advanced to the sixth grade under Laozi’s guidance, greatly increasing his power, while Nuwa arrived to offer Laozi a trade involving Human Race Destiny. Laozi admitted her into the Taiji Diagram to discuss the deal as he continued helping Li Yun cultivate.

• Fuxi agreed with Nuwa that they could not let the Three Pure Ones gain a Sage in their lineage and hurried to inform Di Jun and the others.
• Nuwa left Wa Huang Palace and traveled to Outer Chaos while Li Yun’s Heavenly Flower began to bloom.
• Li Yun’s Third Grade Heavenly Flower increased his power three hundredfold, and Laozi intensified the extraction of Heavenly Dimensional Power.
• Li Yun’s flower bloomed again, reaching the sixth grade and increasing his power five hundredfold.
• Nuwa offered to trade Laozi Human Race Destiny, and Laozi protected Li Yun with the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda before opening a Golden Bridge for her.

Nuwa asked Laozi whether the Three Pure Ones had reconciled with the Ancestor Witches before deciding whether to establish a sect among the Demon Clan. After Laozi described their relations as improved but not cooperative, Nuwa offered to transfer her remaining human race destiny to him in exchange for three conditions.

• Nuwa praised Li Yun's growing sixth-grade Heavenly Flower, but Laozi refused to explain more about it.
• Nuwa told Laozi she intended to establish a sect among the Demon Clan and would give up her position among the Human Race if he answered her question honestly.
• Nuwa asked whether Laozi's conflict with the Ancestor Witches had been resolved, and Laozi said their conflict had merely lessened while concealing his hopes of monopolizing human race destiny.
• Nuwa concluded the Three Pure Ones would not aid the Ancestor Witches and offered Laozi her remaining thirty-five percent share of human race destiny in return for three conditions.

Nuwa negotiated with Laozi to secure the Three Pure Ones’ neutrality in the conflict between the Demon Clan and the Human Race in exchange for thirty-five percent of her fortune. They agreed on protections for three human safe zones, limits on helping the Witch Clan, and Laozi’s support for Li Yun; Nuwa’s final condition sought Laozi’s future political backing.

• Nuwa asked the Three Pure Ones not to interfere between the Demon Clan and the Human Race, and Laozi agreed to protect three safe zones for the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects.
• Nuwa asked the Three Pure Ones to swear they would not aid the Witch Clan or continue helping the Ancestor Witches, and Laozi agreed while reserving the right for Li Yun to assist them.
• Laozi demanded that the Demon Clan spare Li Yun’s life if he aided the Witch Clan, and Nuwa accepted.
• Nuwa asked Laozi to support her in a future matter that would not harm his interests, leaving the details unstated.

Laozi and Nuwa agreed on the transfer of Nuwa's Human Race Destiny, but Nuwa proposed passing it to a Human Race descendant instead of Laozi to prevent the Three Pure Ones from sharing it. Laozi chose Li Yun as the recipient, leaving Nuwa astonished to learn that he was also Human Race.

• Laozi agreed to Nuwa's final condition, provided it did not harm the Three Pure Ones or their disciples.
• Nuwa warned Laozi that taking her destiny himself would distribute some of it to Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian, potentially drawing all Three Pure Ones into conflict with Humanity Dao.
• Nuwa suggested transferring the destiny to a Human Race disciple who could become the future emperor of the Human Race.
• Nuwa explained that, as the creator of the Human Race, she could transfer its destiny to a descendant and sever her connection to the Human Race.
• Laozi rejected Nuwa's suggestion to bring Xuandu and told her to pass the destiny to Li Yun.
• Nuwa stared at Li Yun in shock and asked whether he was also Human Race.

Nuwa agreed to surrender her providence after Laozi explained that Li Yun was an exceptional case among the Human Race. When Li Yun’s Heavenly Flower reached the ninth grade, it absorbed power beyond its supposed limit, and Laozi and Nuwa began drawing in even more Heavenly Dimensional Power to test whether it could advance further.

• Laozi told Nuwa that Li Yun’s strength came from the Pangu Lineage’s recognition and his bloodline’s evolution, while other humans could not reach his level.
• Nuwa resolved to surrender her providence and agreed to wait until Li Yun completed his ninth-grade Heavenly Flower.
• Li Yun’s Heavenly Flower bloomed to the ninth grade, increasing his Magical Power a thousandfold and raising his aura to that of a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
• Li Yun told Laozi that his Heavenly Flower had not reached its limit and asked him to increase the intake of Heavenly Dimensional Power.
• Laozi asked Nuwa to help draw in more power so they could test whether Li Yun’s Heavenly Flower could surpass the ninth-grade limit.

Li Yun’s ninth-grade Heavenly Flower broke through its apparent limit and became a Twelve Grade Heavenly Flower, bearing ancient Chaos Divine Patterns. Laozi recognized the transformation as the Heavenly Flower’s true ultimate form and realized the Heavenly Dao had restricted cultivators’ Dao Fruits; the patterns then entered Li Yun and began transforming him.

• After more than five hundred years of absorbing Heavenly Dimensional Power, Li Yun’s ninth-grade Heavenly Flower stopped absorbing and began to tremble.
• Li Yun’s aura withdrew, and cracks appeared in the Heavenly Flower as its power converged on them.
• Three dark golden lotus leaves emerged, bearing mysterious Divine Patterns that left Nuwa bewildered.
• Laozi recognized the patterns as belonging to Chaos and said the flower was the true ultimate form of the Heavenly Flower.
• Laozi concluded that the Heavenly Dao had deceived and restricted cultivators, while Nuwa watched Li Yun, unable to record the patterns.
• The three leaves fused with Li Yun’s flower, forming a Twelve Grade Heavenly Flower that sent its Divine Patterns into his body and began transforming him.

Li Yun completed the Twelve Grade Heavenly Flower and discovered that it had awakened Chaos Divine Marks, strengthening his body and Magical Power while beginning to evolve his chest bone and eyes. He gained Quasi-Saint-level combat strength, but Laozi warned that Li Yun needed to perfect his Earth Flower and Human Flower before the Heavenly Flower assimilated them, and Nuwa began the next step.

• Li Yun discovered Chaos Divine Marks within his Twelve Grade Heavenly Flower and sensed them gestating a special bone in his chest and transforming his eyes.
• Li Yun realized the changes might require his Earth Flower and Human Flower to reach the twelfth grade, and considered using the unfinished bone and eyes as vessels for his Chaos Divine Light.
• After the Heavenly Flower's power finished fusing with him, Li Yun found that his Magical Power and physical cultivation had risen to Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, giving him Quasi-Saint combat strength.
• Li Yun told Laozi that he needed to complete the Earth Flower and Human Flower quickly or the Heavenly Flower might assimilate their buds.
• Laozi told Nuwa to begin and said he would take Li Yun away once the process was complete.

Nuwa renounced her position as the Holy Mother of the Human Race and transferred its destiny to Li Yun, shocking the Primordial World. As the Humanity Dao showed him three children in the Human Ancestral Land, Li Yun resolved to seek them out and nurture them.

• Nuwa confirmed that Li Yun had human blood, then renounced her title and transferred the Human Race's destiny to him.
• Nuwa's declaration spread through the Primordial World, and the Human Race mourned what felt like its mother's abandonment.
• Nuwa's statue shattered, and its light entered a sleeping girl in the Human Ancestral Land, empowering her and affecting the two children beside her.
• Li Yun saw the children in a vision and guessed the Humanity Dao was guiding him to find and nurture them.
• Li Yun set aside his pursuit of the earth flower and decided to visit the Human Race.

Nuwa transferred the Human Race Destiny to Li Yun, then left to handle her disciple assessment and plans to establish a sect among the Demon Clan. Laozi examined Li Yun’s evolved bones and eyes, suspecting they held extraordinary value but not yet knowing their purpose.

• Nuwa stripped away her Human Race Destiny and made Li Yun the Human Race’s protector.
• Nuwa told Li Yun not to interfere in certain future matters, then departed to return to her disciples and establish a sect among the Demon Clan.
• Li Yun questioned Nuwa’s plans, while Laozi said her actions benefited them and asked whether the transferred destiny had changed Li Yun.
• Li Yun described how the Chaos Divine Mark had altered his bones and eyes and how the destiny seemed to merge with them.
• Laozi examined Li Yun and found no harm in the changes, then stared at his chest with anticipation and wariness as he considered their possible significance.

Laozi explained that Li Yun’s bone might be a Chaos Dao Bone, whose potential depended on whether Li Yun could nurture it. After Li Yun described visions of three children as possible guidance from Humanity Dao, Laozi agreed to travel to the Human Race and place the children under Li Yun’s care.

• Laozi told Li Yun that a Chaos Dao Bone could nurture a powerful Dao and greatly enhance its owner's foundation, but that forming it would be extremely difficult.
• Li Yun told Laozi that they needed to visit the Human Race, while Laozi warned that their agreement with Nuwa prevented them from interfering in the human-demon conflict.
• Li Yun clarified that he wanted to find three children he had seen in a vision after receiving Human Race Destiny, not to condense his Human Flower.
• Li Yun said the children might be important to Humanity Dao and proposed taking them into Human Teachings so they would be protected.
• Laozi agreed to go to the Human Race and proposed placing the three children under Li Yun's name to grow up in the Palace of Supreme Purity.

Li Yun agreed to take in the three children connected to the Humanity Dao, and Laozi brought him to the Human Ancestral Land. As Nuwa and Fuxi planned to negotiate with the Demon Clan over establishing a sect, cultivators flocked toward the Human Race to investigate Nuwa’s abandonment of its fortune, and Laozi and Li Yun arrived as the Human Race greeted Laozi.

• Li Yun agreed to take the three children as disciples under him, and Laozi returned the Taiji Diagram to Li Yun’s sea of consciousness before taking him toward the Human Ancestral Land.
• Nuwa told Fuxi she had abandoned the Human Race Destiny and said they needed the Demon Clan’s agreement before establishing a sect and accepting disciples.
• Fuxi offered to negotiate with Di Jun, the Eastern Emperor, and the others, using Di Jun’s Ten Sons’ wish to take a master as a pretext.
• Jieyin, Zhunti, Yuanshi Tianzun, Sect Master Tongtian, and other cultivators headed toward the Human Race to investigate Nuwa’s actions and Li Yun’s Thirty-Five Percent of Fortune.
• Laozi hurried Li Yun through a space tunnel to the Human Ancestral Land, where the Human Race prostrated themselves and greeted him as the Saint of Supreme Purity.

Laozi brought Li Yun to the Human Ancestral Land, where Li Yun reunited with the Three Human Ancestors and confirmed that Nuwa had transferred Thirty-Five Percent of Fortune to him. As powerful figures and Saints gathered near the Human Race, the ancestors sealed Youchao Shi’s residence and asked Li Yun to explain Nuwa’s actions and the purpose of his return.

• Laozi told the Three Human Ancestors that Li Yun had sensed a master-disciple fate with three Human children, then went to stay in the Ancestral Temple.
• Youchao Shi recognized Li Yun, who confirmed that Nuwa had transferred the Human Race’s destiny to him and said his return brought a great opportunity.
• The Three Human Ancestors led Li Yun to Youchao Shi’s residence while members of the Human Race discussed whether children might join the Human Teachings.
• Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, and other powerful figures approached the Human Ancestral Land, and the gathered visitors refrained from acting rashly.
• Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi sealed their residence and asked Li Yun why Nuwa had severed her relationship with the Human Race, transferred destiny to him, and what Laozi intended.

Li Yun told the Three Human Ancestors that Nuwa had abandoned the Human Race and that a future Demon Clan slaughter would devastate them. He urged them to prepare the Human Ancestral Land as a Safe Zone and decide whom to save, while the Ancestors struggled to understand why the Demon Clan was attacking them.

• Li Yun confirmed that Nuwa had severed her ties to the Human Race and traded away part of its destiny.
• Li Yun warned Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi that the Demon Clan would bring a calamity that could leave nine out of ten households empty.
• Li Yun explained that Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had agreed not to help the Human Race, though their Disciples could establish three limited Safe Zones.
• Li Yun urged the Three Human Ancestors to gather people, especially children, into the Safe Zones and said he would choose the Human Ancestral Land.
• Suiren Shi questioned why Nuwa's Demon Clan would attack the Human Race, and Ziyi Shi connected recent massacres along the East Sea Coast to the Demon Clan.

Li Yun warned the Three Human Ancestors that the Demon Clan had begun massacring Human tribes and urged them to preserve their people in the Safe Zones. Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi set out to organize an evacuation, while Li Yun agreed to take up to nine disciples and said Xuandu could take nine more.

• Suiren Shi and Youchao Shi reported that Human tribes had been wiped out, and Li Yun realized the Demon Clan had begun targeting the Human Race.
• Li Yun concluded that Nuwa had planned to sacrifice the Human Race to help the Demon Clan forge the Witch Slaughtering Sword, and resolved to prevent the sword from threatening Ancestor Witches.
• Li Yun urged the Three Human Ancestors to gather people with potential and move them into the Safe Zones, warning that he could not protect everyone from the Demon Clan.
• Youchao Shi assigned Suiren Shi and Ziyi Shi to relocate clansmen from outer regions while he handled the Ancestral Land.
• Youchao Shi asked Li Yun to take as many Human disciples as possible, and Li Yun agreed to take nine, adding that Xuandu should also be able to take nine.

Li Yun asked Laozi for permission to take more disciples to help preserve the Human Race, and Laozi approved the arrangements. The Humanity Dao then descended in the Ancestral Temple, empowered Li Yun’s eyes, and left Laozi with a difficult task.

• Youchao Shi agreed to gather children from the Ancestral Land so the Human Race could preserve its Sparks.
• Laozi told Li Yun that absorbing Nuwa’s Humanity Dao Power Origin had let him sense the Humanity Dao more clearly.
• Li Yun asked Laozi to approve nine disciples for himself and nine for Xuandu, and Laozi allowed it while limiting most of them to Inner Disciples.
• A cluster of light bearing the Humanity Dao’s power descended in the Ancestral Temple and entered Li Yun’s eyes.
• After three days, a speck of light left Li Yun and entered Laozi’s sea of consciousness, and Laozi called the matter challenging.
