• Jieyin activated the Twelve-grade Golden Merit Lotus, and Zhunti used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to clear starlight from the wounded Demon Race members.
• Tai Yi mocked Jieyin, then joined Di Jun in launching another assault with the Ziwei Sword, Eastern Emperor Bell, and Grand Formation of the Stars.

Taishang guided the human race toward cultivation before declaring the establishment of the Human Teaching and becoming a Saint. The chapter ends with Xuandu and the human race kneeling to honor him.

• Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others damaged the Grand Formation of the Stars with their self-detonating spiritual treasures, but Di Jun kept the formation in place as the battle resumed.
• Taishang continued teaching the human race as their cultivation advanced and their dealings with the Immortal Court grew more frequent.

• Taishang established the Human Teaching to guide the human race, triggering heavenly signs and a blessing from heaven and earth.
• Xuandu and the human race recognized Taishang's ascension and knelt, hailing him as Taiqing Dao De Tianzun.

Taishang, Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Zhen Yuanzi each declared a new teaching or clan, and their declarations gathered immense merit. Zhen Yuanzi became a saint of the Earthly Path first, while the Three Pure Ones used their merit to raise their cultivation instead of refining their Primordial Violet Qi.

• Taishang declared the Human Teaching, making non-action, nature, and morality its principles.
• Tongtian established the Jie Teaching, welcoming all sincere Dao seekers regardless of their origins.
• Yuanshi founded the Chan Teaching, choosing disciples for their Root Foundation and teaching the orthodox path.

• Merit descended on all four founders, and Zhen Yuanzi fused with his Primordial Violet Qi to become a saint of the Earthly Path.
• Zhen Yuanzi noticed that the Three Pure Ones were converting their merit into cultivation rather than refining their Primordial Violet Qi.

Zhen Yuanzi became a Saint by refining Primordial Violet Qi, while the Three Pure Ones and several Ancestral Witches gained merit but did not attain Sainthood. Jieyin and Zhunti earned Human Path Primordial Violet Qi and advanced their cultivation, but their plans for the Underworld were rendered unnecessary by Houtu’s work.

• Zhen Yuanzi suspected the Three Pure Ones planned to give up their Saint positions eventually, while the Primordial Violet Qi kept escaping their attempts to refine it.
• Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin fused their origins and laws into space and time, earning merit as they repaired the Primordial Wilderness’s order.
• Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and the other Ancestral Witches continued working in the Underworld, encouraged by the stirring Primordial Violet Qi within them.
• Jieyin and Zhunti suppressed the Place of Return to Ruin with twenty-four divine kingdoms, earning merit and a strand of Human Path Primordial Violet Qi for Zhunti.
• Jieyin and Zhunti severed the Three Corpses but felt disappointed that their merit did not make them Saints, and Houtu’s Yellow Springs and Bridge of Helplessness had made their Underworld plans redundant.

Jieyin and Zhunti decided to establish a teaching to pursue sainthood while remaining members of the Demon Race, but learned their severed corpses had been destroyed in the Heavenly Court’s crushing defeat of the Demon Race. The Heavenly Court celebrated its victory, while the Immortal Court realized it could be the next target as conflict between the Demon Race and Human Race loomed.

• Zhunti proposed that he and Jieyin establish a teaching to gain merit and advance toward sainthood, and Jieyin agreed after deciding to report the plan to the Ancestor.
• Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly lost their severed corpses and fell from Three-Corpse Quasi-Saints to Two-Corpse Quasi-Saints.
• Jieyin and Zhunti calculated that the Demon Race had suffered near-total annihilation, with only the severely wounded Right Protector escaping.
• Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the Heavenly Court celebrated their victory as Mo Tian fled with the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.
• The Immortal Court learned of the Demon Race’s defeat, and East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West anticipated that the Immortal Court would be targeted next.

Nuwa left the human sacred land, and her departure exposed the immense Causality Kala Qi surrounding Fuxi. After deducing that the Immortal Court had drawn the human race into conflict with the Demon Race, Fuxi summoned the Ten Ancestors and ordered the humans to prepare for battle.

• Nuwa told Fuxi she was returning to the origin of the Human Dao, then departed.
• Fuxi became surrounded by Causality threads and Kala Qi, then deduced that the Immortal Court had involved the human race in a coming conflict with the Demon Race.
• Fuxi summoned the Ten Ancestors and told them the human race needed to prepare for battle.
• The Ten Ancestors realized their acceptance of the Immortal Court's gifts might have provoked the Demon Race and grew angry at East King Duke.
• Fuxi told the Ten Ancestors to spare the Immortal Court for now, prepare for battle, and inform the rest of the human race.

Feng Wu Shi killed a Golden Immortal bear demon and brought its corpse back for his tribe to eat. At the Ten Ancestors’ gathering, Suiren Shi announced that the Human Race would soon fight the Demon Race led by Di Jun, in a battle threatening their survival.

• Feng Wu Shi killed a Golden Immortal bear demon with one punch and dragged its corpse toward his tribe.
• Feng Wu Shi received the Ten Ancestors’ summons, left the bear demon for his tribe, and hurried to the gathering.
• Feng Wu Shi spoke with Wuxu Shi, who suspected the summons was connected to the Sage Emperor’s meeting with the Ten Ancestors.
• Suiren Shi told the gathered innate humans that the Human Race faced a vital battle against the Demon Race led by Di Jun.

The Ten Ancestors explained that humanity’s past demon hunts had entangled them in the ongoing Kalpa, making war with the Demon Race unavoidable. As East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West arrived to discuss the war, East King Duke demanded that Fuxi appear and meet them.

• Youchao Shi told the humans that their demon hunting had drawn them into the Kalpa and that they were destined to fight the Demon Race.
• The humans blamed the Immortal Court for dragging them into the conflict and asked whether they should attack it first.
• The Ten Ancestors rejected that plan, arguing that fighting the Immortal Court would weaken humanity before its war with the Demon Race.
• East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West arrived with Immortal Court experts to discuss the coming war.
• East King Duke pressured the human envoys, stopped the Ten Ancestors from intervening, and called for Fuxi to come out and meet him.

Fuxi confronted East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West over the Immortal Court’s role in drawing the human race into the Kalpa. East King Duke claimed the Immortal Court sought control of the Thirty-Six Heavens rather than the position of protagonist of heaven and earth, and offered the human race positions there.

• Fuxi appeared before the human race experts, dismissed their pressure, and warned East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West that he might kill them.
• The human race experts saluted Fuxi as the Sage Emperor, while East King Duke concealed the discussion and apologized for the Immortal Court’s actions.
• East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West argued that the Kalpa could help the human race grow and contend with the Demon Race for the position of protagonist of heaven and earth.
• Fuxi questioned whether the Immortal Court also sought that position and asked what would happen to its ambitions if the human race prevailed.
• East King Duke affirmed that the Immortal Court intended to give the position to the human race and explained that his court sought only control of the Thirty-Six Heavens, where it could grant the human race positions.

East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West revealed that a senior had given them a leaf that inspired them to oppose the Demon Court, and Fuxi agreed to work with them. Their plans were interrupted when the Dragon Phoenix Qilin races arrived and unexpectedly announced that they had come to support the human race.

• East King Duke told Fuxi that he and Queen Mother of the West had received a Dao-fragrant leaf from a senior before their births, which greatly raised their Root Foundations and cultivation.
• East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West explained that they believed the senior had destined them to destroy the Demon Court, and Fuxi agreed to work with them.
• The Dragon Phoenix Qilin races arrived with hundreds of powerful experts, alarming the Immortal Court and the humans.
• Fuxi asked why the three races had come, and Zhulong, Zhuque, and the Earth Qilin declared that they had come to support the human race.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans joined Fuxi’s human race and the Immortal Court in preparing to oppose the Demon Race. In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Di Jun and the Heavenly Court learned that the three clans had joined their enemies, leaving Di Jun regretting that he had created the Demon Race.

• Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng wondered why Primordial Phoenix had ordered them to aid the human race, while Vermilion Bird understood the clans’ ties to humanity.
• Fuxi realized that the Dao Venerable had arranged for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans to support humanity, and he welcomed Candle Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others.
• Fuxi hosted the three clans and the Immortal Court, and their leaders accepted golden lotus seats to discuss matters.
• Bai Ze told the Heavenly Court that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had joined the human race and Immortal Court against the Demon Race.
• Di Jun regretted creating the Demon Race, and the Heavenly Court’s upper echelons regretted joining it.

After Kunpeng warned that the injured Heavenly Court could not defeat the Human Race and its allies, he proposed using merit from building Teleportation Arrays to recover and buy time. Di Jun agreed to seek Zhen Yuanzi’s help, but the Human Race’s coalition marched toward the Heavenly Court, leaving ordinary beings worried that war would destroy the arrays they depended on.

• Kunpeng told Di Jun that the Heavenly Court was too weakened to fight the Human Race, the Immortal Court, and the Dragon Phoenix Qilin races.
• Kunpeng proposed continuing the Teleportation Arrays project to gain merit, heal injuries, and help Di Jun and others refine their supreme treasures.
• Kunpeng suggested asking Zhen Yuanzi to oversee a ceasefire, and Di Jun ordered Kunpeng to invite him while the Heavenly Court resumed building arrays.
• The Human Race and its allies set out toward the Heavenly Court without giving the Demon Race time to recover.
• Living beings across the Primordial Wilderness worried that war would destroy the Demon Race and halt the Teleportation Arrays they hoped would help them find sects and inheritances.

Zhen Yuanzi punished Kunpeng for plotting against him, then agreed to intervene in the Heavenly Court’s war for one hundred thousand Yuan Hui. He left his temple and met Nuwa at the origin of the Human Path.

• Zhen Yuanzi stopped preaching and welcomed Kunpeng into Wuzhuang Temple.
• Zhen Yuanzi trapped Kunpeng in his sleeve and crushed his body repeatedly, leaving him gravely wounded before releasing him.
• Zhen Yuanzi said he had only given Kunpeng a lesson for plotting against him, then agreed to intervene in the Heavenly Court’s war for one hundred thousand Yuan Hui.

• Zhen Yuanzi visited the origin of the Human Path and greeted Nuwa with formal respect.

Zhen Yuanzi and Nuwa agreed that the Human Race’s trial should continue, while Zhen Yuanzi prepared to halt the coming war. As opposing forces gathered before Heavenly Court, Tai Yi taunted East King Duke, who finally attacked him.

• Zhen Yuanzi told Nuwa that he had agreed to Heavenly Court’s request to temporarily halt the Kalpa, and Nuwa supported his decision despite expecting the Human Race to suffer greater casualties.
• Nuwa revealed her excitement at the prospect of the Demon Race recovering its strength, alarming Zhen Yuanzi, who soon departed.
• Killing intent swept across the Primordial Wilderness, prompting Heavenly Court’s forces to withdraw as Fuxi, East King Duke, Queen Mother of the West, Candle Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Earth Qilin, and allied armies approached.
• Tai Yi insulted East King Duke and declared that Heavenly Court would prevail, while the Demon Race’s leaders remained confident that Zhen Yuanzi would stop the war.
• Tai Yi shouted that he would still be East King Duke’s daddy even if he died, making Xi He, Ling Shuang, Chang Xi, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng laugh.
• East King Duke lost his temper and charged at Tai Yi.

Zhen Yuanzi intervened to stop the factions from attacking the Heavenly Court and ordered a hundred thousand Yuan Hui of peace. After the factions departed, he sensed that the Three Pure Ones had broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and set out for Kunlun Mountain.

• Zhen Yuanzi appeared before East King Duke's attack could reach Tai Yi and declared that the teleportation array must not be disturbed, ordering all factions to avoid conflict for one hundred thousand Yuan Hui.
• Fuxi and the Dragon Phoenix Qilin clans agreed to Zhen Yuanzi's decree, and East King Duke reluctantly agreed as well.
• Zhen Yuanzi departed, and Tai Yi used the Eastern Emperor Bell to erase the traces of East King Duke's presence before joking that East King Duke carried filthy, unlucky aura.
• Zhen Yuanzi sensed three streams of Primordial chaos qi rising from Kunlun Mountain and realized that the Three Pure Ones had reached the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
• Zhen Yuanzi decided the Three Pure Ones' breakthrough was a good thing and headed to Kunlun Mountain to ask them for tea.
