Taiyi and the Primordial Sages fought the extraterritorial Sovereigns and the Heavenly Dao of Disorder, while the Devouring Demon Sage threatened to open a passage to the Land of Return to Emptiness. Hongjun Daozu revealed that he had used half his cultivation as bait and sealed the weakened Heavenly Dao of Disorder inside himself.

• The Heavenly Dao of Disorder seeped into the earth veins and encountered Hongjun Daozu, who revealed his sealing vessel and used the Creation Jade Tablet fragments to imprison it in his dantian.

Hongjun took control of the Heavenly Dao as the Extraterrestrial Sovereigns prepared to unleash the Returning Ruins against the Primordial Wilderness. The appearance of nine Chaos Tablets containing a path to transcendence shattered their alliance and sparked a race for the tablets, which Taiyi left to the Deification Giant to stop.

• Hongjun declared that he was not the Heavenly Dao, but that the Heavenly Dao was his incarnation, and gained its full authority.

• The Extraterrestrial Sovereigns abandoned their alliance and rushed toward the Chaos Tablets, while Hongjun trapped them in a Heavenly Dao prison that Martial Lord quickly broke.
• Taiyi told the Deification Giant to halt the outsiders, and the giant swung the Battle Heaven Halberd at them.

Taiyi used the Deification Giant and Hongjun’s Heavenly Dao Great Wall to stall the Extraterrestrial Sovereigns while the nine Chaos Dao Tablets appeared and revealed the mysteries of the Limitless Great Dao. The sovereigns offered Taiyi power and an alliance, but he warned that the tablets might grant the Dao’s other shore to only one person, and Martial Lord demanded he choose war or peace.

• Taiyi observed the nine Chaos Dao Tablets and wondered whether their three thousand strands of Great Dao Primordial Violet Qi offered the only path beyond the Chaos Universe.
• The Deification Giant’s Battle Heaven Halberd struck the three Extraterrestrial Sovereigns, blasting apart half of Devouring Demon Sage’s sacred body and collapsing the Returning Ruins vortex.
• Hongjun blocked the Chaos Three Giants with a Heavenly Dao Great Wall, while the Deification Giant broke apart and its one hundred and eight demon spirits returned to the Investiture of the Gods List.
• Martial Lord, Dragon Lord, Mount Sumeru Holy Monk, and the Chaos Three Giants urged Taiyi to join them, promising him the sole true sovereignty of the Ninth Chaos Epoch and a share in the Limitless Great Dao.
• Taiyi questioned whether the nine Chaos Dao Tablets could allow only one person to reach the other shore, but Martial Lord rejected the claim and demanded Taiyi choose war or peace.

Taiyi revealed that the nine Chaos Dao Tablets were one tablet, whose power devastated the sages and left the Extraterrestrial Sovereigns gravely wounded. As Hongjun and the Chaos Three Giants attacked Taiyi, Nether River Ancestor rose to the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, while Taiyi shattered the giant tablet and received its Primordial Violet Qi, summoning Pangu's phantom.

• Taiyi challenged the sages to swear a Great Dao Blood Oath, then revealed that the nine Chaos Tablets shared one origin and fused them into a single giant tablet.

• Taiyi broke free by pouring the power of his three divine artifacts into the giant tablet, shattered it, and received a strand of Primordial Violet Qi.
• Pangu's phantom appeared behind Taiyi, terrifying the Extraterrestrial Sovereigns and Hongjun.

Pangu’s True Spirit awakened through Taiyi and revealed that the secret of transcendence lay in reassembling the Creation Jade Tablet, but the Old Ones of the first three epochs intervened. The Extraterrestrial Sovereigns decided to risk fighting for the inheritance rather than retreat, as the battle’s outcome remained uncertain.

• Pangu’s True Spirit empowered Taiyi, repelled Hongjun’s attempt to seize the Primordial Violet Qi, and grievously wounded him with a single axe strike.
• The Mount Sumeru Holy Monk tried to escape, but the Martial Sovereign blocked his way and the Dragon Lord shattered his escape passage.
• Taiyi shattered an Epoch Stone Bridge with the Godslaying Spear and uncovered a jade disc that revealed the Creation Jade Tablet held the secret of transcendence.

Taiyi summoned the River of Fate and used Fate Judgment against the Ruin Sovereign after Pangu’s final strike and the allied forces held off the Old Ones. The Ruin Sovereign lost another third of its Chaos Eyes, and the Darkness Sovereign and Space-Time Sovereign realized Taiyi had mastered the Destiny Great Dao.

• Taiyi and the Pangu True Spirit struck the three Old Ones, destroying much of their power before Pangu’s spirit and axe vanished.

• Taiyi invoked Fate Judgment, erasing another third of the Ruin Sovereign’s Chaos Eyes and revealing that he had mastered the Destiny Great Dao.

Taiyi used the River of Fate to judge the three Old Ones, but their allies nearly killed him before the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Artifacts revealed his connection to Pangu and the Chaos Green Lotus. He became the Primordial Overgod, remade the Primordial World’s balance, and declared himself the Great Dao.

• Mountain Guest sensed that Taiyi had comprehended the Source of Destiny Great Dao and resumed his cultivation, hoping Taiyi would soon transcend the Primordial World.

• Taiyi suggested that the ancestral witches fuse the Great Dao of bloodlines into their bodies and focus on cultivating the flesh.

Taiyi visited Queen Mother of the West, then went with Zhenyuanzi to see Six-Eared Macaque awaken a powerful cultivation form. Taiyi exposed the Chaos Demon Ape’s consciousness hidden inside his disciple and confronted it on Penglai Immortal Island.

• Zhenyuanzi guessed that Six-Eared Macaque was connected to the Chaos Demon Ape, and Taiyi revealed that he had been concealing the Chaos Demon Ape’s remaining consciousness.
• Taiyi showed the Chaos Demon Ape a vision of his previous battle in the Underworld, provoking its disbelief at Taiyi’s strength.
• Taiyi suppressed the awakened Chaos Demon Ape and demanded that it emerge from Six-Eared Macaque’s body.

Taiyi separated the Chaos Demon Ape’s remnant consciousness from the Six-Eared Macaque and offered him a new body in exchange for joining the Taiyi Heavenly Court and the Path of Humanity. After learning the extent of the Heavenly Court’s power, the Chaos Demon Ape agreed, leaving his allegiance newly secured.

• Taiyi used his power to separate the Chaos Demon Ape from the Six-Eared Macaque, and the Chaos Demon Ape accepted his terms rather than risk sinking into the Returning Ruins.

• Taiyi forged the Five-Colored Divine Stone with the Chaos Demon Ape's origin and the Innate Five Tai Great Daos, then cast it toward the East Sea, where it took root in the earth veins.
• Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Hongjun Daozu, and other powers noticed the stone and wondered about Taiyi's intentions, but none dared interfere.
• Taiyi guided Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Sisters, telling them to pursue Sagehood and study additional cultivation methods before sending them to Tongtian Jiaozhu's Interception Sect.

• At the source of the River of Fate, Taiyi sensed a deadly danger beyond the Primordial World's opening but stepped forward anyway, and a sudden change erupted.

Taiyi discovered a forbidden origin point in the River of Fate and glimpsed a golden foil linking the Myriad Realms, Hongmeng Dao World, and the Epoch Final Tribulation. He claimed the Epoch Stone Bridge and used it to connect the Primordial Universe with the Ring-Shaped Universe, drawing the attention of the Primordial Sages.

• Taiyi crossed into the River of Fate’s origin, but its terrifying laws forced him to retreat before he could enter the forbidden zone.

• The Heavenly Court sages and other immortals congratulated Taiyi after he subdued the Epoch Stone Bridge.
• Taiyi invited the sages to enter the Ring-Shaped Universe and seek opportunities, and Laozi stepped onto the bridge to investigate.

After Taiyi helped Dijun become a Sage, Zhen Yuanzi also announced that he had proved Dao, leaving the Primordial World facing another Sage ascension.

• Taiyi reassured Houtu and Nüwa that he would travel to the Chaos Sea alone and approved sending forces below Saint Level to the Ring-Shaped Universe spacetime.
• Dijun led Heavenly Court experts through the Epoch Stone Bridge, and Taiyi explained that they needed the trials of battle rather than safe cultivation at home.
• After several thousand years, some of Dijun's forces returned with greater strength, while many others did not come back.

• Houtu, Nüwa, Yang Mei, Rahula, Nether River, Kunpeng, and the others congratulated Dijun, then a roar came from Longevity Mountain as Zhen Yuanzi declared that he had proved Dao as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.
