• Taiyi brought out the five Chaos Five Elements Pearls to continue the transformation.

Taiyi tested how the Innate Five Tai Great Daos interacted with his Chaos Five Elements and five viscera, discovering that they disrupted the balance when merged together. He separated the Chaos Five Elements Pearls and infused the five Dao sources into his five vast Divine Repository worlds, which began developing into Chaos Five Elements Divine Repositories.

• Taiyi found that merging the Innate Five Tai Great Daos into his balanced Chaos Five Elements and five viscera made the forces incompatible, so he withdrew them into the Great Dao Gate.

• Taiyi sensed Chaos Five Elements Source emerging within the five worlds and realized they were becoming Chaos Five Elements Divine Repositories.

Seeking to perfect this creation, he seized and shattered a hidden Shadow Demon God, but discovered that it was trying to regenerate from its fragments.

• Taiyi’s spacetime ripples scattered the Shadow Demon God’s avatar and exposed its shadow origin crystal core.
• Taiyi realized the Shadow Demon God had followed a demonic beast path and stored its core in his collection.
• Taiyi contemplated his progress toward the Primordial Saint Body and concluded that the Primordial Grand Dao Law remained beyond his reach.
• A ripple from within Taiyi made him realize that the system had awakened.

Taiyi spoke with the System, which had awakened only enough to converse and had not recovered its former power. The System revealed its humanoid form and introduced itself as River Crab Daoist, while Taiyi resolved to reach and surpass its level.

• The System told Taiyi it had only temporarily regained enough power to stay awake and speak.
• Taiyi promised to help the System recover its peak strength, and the two agreed to reveal themselves to each other.
• The System released a silent ripple, and its radiance formed a humanoid figure before Taiyi.
• Taiyi realized he could not look directly at the figure's true power, then regained his calm and vowed to surpass it.

• River Crab Daoist explained that the Primal Chaos Sovereign sought sole supremacy and would not tolerate rivals capable of threatening its path to proving the Dao.
• River Crab Daoist said the Primal Chaos Sovereign had slaughtered nearly all Hongmeng Born Spirits and begun intercepting lower-realm Dao seekers, which was why it had crossed realms to target Taiyi.

River Crab Daoist explained the Primal Chaos Sovereign’s overwhelming power and revealed why he traveled through chaos to guide beings toward Hongmeng. He then gave Taiyi his incarnation, which carried the 404 Purification Light, as support for Taiyi’s future path.

• River Crab Daoist told Taiyi that no one in Hongmeng could stop the Primal Chaos Sovereign and explained his path of incarnating as systems to guide beings toward ascension.
• River Crab Daoist said the Primal Chaos Sovereign could seal him in a one-on-one fight, while the remaining Hongmeng lifeforms could only drive the Sovereign off by fighting together.

• River Crab Daoist declared Taiyi worthy of attention and gave him the incarnation that wielded the 404 Purification Light.

Taiyi continued expanding Chaos City by preaching the Dao and cultivating Chaos Demon God seeds, while the World-Creation Epochal Calamity drew nearer. At the Time-Space Divine Hall, Great Immortal Yang Mei revealed that Taiyi planned to establish a cultivation path for the Chaos Demon Gods.
