• The gods reacted with shock to the possibility of another Primal God, and Odin wondered whether the Primordial Divine Realm's Moon God was one too.
• Surya launched his sun at Yuan Hong, and Yuan Hong invoked the Chaos Demon Ape—True Body.

Yuan Hong transformed into his Chaos Demon Ape True Form and crushed Surya with one swing of his staff, but Surya revived through his sun-given immortality. Yuan Hong complained to Styx that Surya had Saint protection, and Styx confronted Vishnu, who said the blessing could not be withdrawn.

• Agni decided to evade Nezha until the Lotus Lantern’s temporary boost wore off, hoping to regain an advantage.

Nezha and Agni’s prolonged stalemate was declared a draw, and Ao Bing entered the fifth God War against Varuna with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. Ao Bing and Varuna revealed their amplified powers and manifestations as their battle began.

• Nezha and Agni fought for a hundred thousand years without either gaining an advantage, so Vishnu and Styx agreed to count their match as a draw.

• Six-Eared Macaque opened a great crimson sleeve and collected the hurricane with a sweep of his arm.
• Zeus, Indra, Amaterasu, Garuda, and the spectators reacted with disbelief at Six-Eared Macaque’s feat.

Six-Eared Macaque used Universe in the Sleeve to turn Garuda’s World-Destroying Hurricane against him, then overwhelmed him with his Chaos Demon Ape True Form. The God Kings learned that the Primordial Realm once had nearly three thousand Saints and that Pangu had slain them; Garuda, exhausted but protected by Vishnu’s blessing, prepared to detonate his Godhead.

• Six-Eared Macaque returned Garuda’s World-Destroying Hurricane with Universe in the Sleeve, and their storms collided until both lost most of their force.
• Six-Eared Macaque told Garuda that he ranked below the top thirty in the Primordial Realm and said that it had once held two thousand nine hundred Saints, ninety Dao-Integrating Saints, and ten beings at the Heavenly Dao Realm.

• Garuda, his armor shattered and divine power spent, told Vishnu he would detonate his Godhead to try to take Six-Eared Macaque down.

• Garuda began pouring out his strength to self-detonate, but Vishnu stopped him and told him to admit defeat.
• Vishnu conceded the God War to Styx and suggested that the final bout be canceled, but Styx and Xuanzang left the choice to Indra.
• After questioning Xuanzang about his status and strength, Indra decided to fight the final bout despite the Myriad Phenomena Devas' concerns.
• Xuanzang entered the arena, and Indra followed after the Asura King, Agni, and Varuna urged him on.
• Indra manifested his strongest form, broke through to the peak God King stage, and boasted of his past victories before Xuanzang prepared to face him.

Xuanzang defeated Indra in the final God War, securing Primordial’s victory and its claim over the Human Race of Myriad Phenomena. After the handover, Nezha killed the oppressive high-caste nobles, and a mysterious Buddha began helping the common people.

• Xuanzang used his Six-Winged Golden Cicada dharma image and a sneak attack to swallow Indra, then spat him out after Vishnu conceded.
• The God War ended with Primordial winning five matches and drawing two, and Vishnu agreed to place the Human Race of Myriad Phenomena under Primordial’s jurisdiction.
• Two and a half years later, Primordial completed the handover of the Human Race, and Nezha slaughtered the high-caste nobles who urged resistance.
• A figure calling himself Buddha traveled among the lower classes, relieving suffering and punishing injustice.
• When someone asked whether he was Buddha, the mysterious figure’s identity remained unresolved.

Buddha’s teaching spread among the oppressed Myriad Phenomena Human Race, while Indra and the other devas dismissed it and discussed how to ransom Jayanta. In the Primordial World, Cangyuan broke through to Hunyuan Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal in Chaos, expecting all his incarnations to advance as well.

After the Great Dao’s baptism elevated Cangyuan to the Second Heaven of the Hunyuan Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal and a Superior Chaos Divine Demon foundation, he reunited with the other Daoists and returned Rahu’s lost treasures. Yang Mei explained the Hunyuan realm rankings, leaving Cangyuan newly informed about the path ahead.

• The Great Dao’s power raised Cangyuan’s foundation to that of a Superior Chaos Divine Demon and his cultivation to the Second Heaven of the Hunyuan Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal.
• Cangyuan arrived before the Daoist avatars, where Rahu demanded the return of his God-Slaying Spear.
• Cangyuan produced both Rahu’s God-Slaying Spear and Twelve-Petal World Destroying Black Lotus, and Rahu realized Hongjun had likely stolen them before Cangyuan attained the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
• Shichen questioned how Cangyuan had repeatedly raised his foundation, and Cangyuan jokingly blamed the Great Dao’s lightning strike.
• Yang Mei congratulated Cangyuan on reaching the Third Order of Hunyuan and explained how the Hunyuan orders corresponded to his cultivation realm.

Cangyuan and the other Chaos Divine Demons agreed to prepare for the possibility of conflict with the Realm of the Gods, while Cangyuan and Hongjun discussed the Great Dao’s choice and a future enemy. Cangyuan returned to Penglai to cultivate as the Primordial World’s history moved forward, ending with an accusation against Li Zhi.

• Hongjun asked the Chaos Divine Demons how they should respond to other realms, and they agreed not to start a war but to prepare and defend themselves if attacked.

• Two hundred years later, Cangyuan accused Li Zhi of having an affair with his stepmother.

Li Shimin discovered Li Zhi and Wu Zhao together, beat his son, and banished them to the Lower Realm. Meanwhile, Xuanzang’s Buddhist mission transformed the Myriad Phenomena Human Race and drew fortune toward the Primordial World, prompting Brahman to order a massacre and a new war.

• Li Shimin caught Li Zhi and Wu Zhao together, beat Li Zhi, and banished them both to the Lower Realm, where they hid in Jiangnan.

Styx sacrificed himself to destroy a quarter of the Myriad Phenomena Divine Realm and send its human and Asura inhabitants to the Primordial World. The Great Dao then transferred the Primordial World and surrounding realms to a new location, while Styx revived at full strength.

• Shiva God attacked the Myriad Phenomena human territory with World-Ending Divine Fire, and Styx briefly opposed him with Karma Fire while evacuating the humans and Asura Clan through Yang Jian.
• Styx sent Yang Jian, Xuanzang, and the others through the Time and Space Gate, then self-detonated his Hunyuan body, spirit, and magic power before Brahma, Shiva God, and Vishnu.

• Styx revived at full strength through a Blood God Son avatar, while Luohu discovered that the Chaotic Heavenly Demon Realm and dozens of other worlds had also been transferred.

The Primordial World arrived in the Realm of the Gods, prompting its god kings to debate whether to approach it peacefully or threaten it with the Primal Gods. As both realms prepared for possible conflict, the Great Dao pulled every major figure above the level of Saint into a room.

• The Primordial World appeared among dozens of unfamiliar realms, and Hongjun and the Dao Provers guarded its borders against possible invasions.
• Zeus convened the god kings on Mount Olympus; Michael urged peace, while Indra demanded the return of his realm’s fortune and Amaterasu backed him.
• Odin proposed inviting the Primal Gods to descend on the Primordial World to display the Realm of the Gods’ strength, and the other god kings agreed.
• The chapter described the Primordial World’s structure and the Chaotic Heavenly Demon Realm, where Tongtian had killed Evil Dragon Demon Lord after fighting Luohu’s forces.
• As the Primordial Saints stood on guard and the Realm of the Gods reported to the Primal Gods, the Great Dao opened a room and summoned every major figure above the level of Saint.

The Great Dao transported the Primordial World’s Saints and the Realm of the Gods’ deities into separate mysterious spaces. Ksitigarbha and the Queen Mother of the West were revealed as Saints, while the Will of the Heavenly Dao realized Cangyuan had stolen its Primordial Violet Qi; the chapter then began listing the gods gathered in the other space.

• Zhunti and Jieyin reunited with Ksitigarbha, who revealed that he had refined the Earth Path Primordial Violet Qi and become a Saint.
