Chapter Summaries

After ten thousand years experiencing mortal life in countless forms, Taiyi understood the essence of the Dao and became a Primordial Lifeform. He explored the World Tree’s connection to other worlds and discovered that entering a world comparable to the Primordial Continent could expose him to its devastating Power of Rules.

• Taiyi spent ten thousand years living as many kinds of creatures and learned that natural selection and survival shaped their lives.
• Taiyi returned to his Dao body, destroyed the hunting tigers with a raised hand, and flew to the Heavenly Dao Palace.
• Taiyi realized his experience had made him a Primordial Lifeform, nearly akin to Dao and immune to ordinary attacks.
• Taiyi failed to discern his future Dao Path, then decided to pursue Proving Dao with Force by mastering the Three Thousand Laws.
• Taiyi connected to the World Tree and touched a world comparable to the Primordial Continent, whose Power of Rules struck his primordial spirit.
• Taiyi concluded that entering such worlds with his true body could provoke their rejection and suppression, and chose not to rush in.

Taiyi weighed the System’s choices after Tongtian left Kunlun Mountain to establish his own Sage’s dojo, then chose to remain on the Sun Star and received a Pangu Primordial Spirit Fragment. Merging it into his body greatly strengthened his primordial spirit, leaving him close to Great Perfection in Hunyuan Primordial Spirit cultivation.

• The System informed Taiyi that Tongtian had gone to Golden Turtle Island and offered him three choices.
• Taiyi rejected raiding Yuanshi Tianzun for the Pangu Banner and declined to visit Tongtian or establish a sect.
• Taiyi chose to stay on the Sun Star and continue refining pills, receiving a Pangu Primordial Spirit Fragment.
• Taiyi merged the fragment into his Hunyuan Dharma body, raising his primordial spirit cultivation to the peak late stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith.

Taiyi continued secluded cultivation while speculating about realms beyond the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith. Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones separated and established their own dojos, leaving Yuanshi Tianzun in control of Kunlun Mountain as Jieyin and Zhunti prepared to exploit the split.

• Taiyi speculated that realms beyond the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith included the Grand Primordial Golden Immortal, Grand Limitless Golden Immortal, Primordial Lifeform, and Perfected Origin Lifeform.
• Tongtian Jiaozhu moved with his disciples to Golden Ao Island and established Biling Palace as the Interception Sect's dojo.
• Laozi left Kunlun Mountain for Shouyang Mountain, where he established the Eight Scenery Palace with Grand Master Xuandu.
• Yuanshi Tianzun renovated Kunlun Mountain, renamed Three Purities Cave Jade Void Palace, and made the mountain the Jade Clarity Sacred Realm of the Exposition Sect.
• Primordial beings spread rumors about why the Three Pure Ones had separated, while Jieyin and Zhunti celebrated and planned to recruit disciples from the other sects.

Taiyi chose to remain in seclusion rather than interfere as Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed herself into reincarnation in the Nether Blood Sea. Houtu became Lady Pingxin and founded the Netherworld Underworld Realm and Six Paths of Reincarnation, while the chapter ended with Taiyi watching from the Sun Star.

• Taiyi rejected the system’s options to intervene in Houtu’s transformation and claimed the reward for staying put.
• Ancestral Witch Houtu completed her comprehension of reincarnation and vowed to transform herself into the reincarnation nether realm.
• Houtu’s body became the Netherworld Underworld Realm, where the Six Paths of Reincarnation and a vast Six Paths millstone took shape.
• The Nether River Ancestor resented receiving less than ten percent of the Heavenly Dao merit, though the Blood Sea began replenishing its lost water.
• Living beings, the Six Sages of the Heavens, the Witch Court, and the Demon Court honored Houtu, while human merit strengthened the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Taiyi watched the changes from the Sun Star and remarked on Lady Houtu’s boundless merit.

Taiyi refined the Cosmos Cauldron and comprehended thirty percent of the Great Dao of Creation before choosing not to intervene when the System warned that Red Cloud Hermit was about to perish. Red Cloud Hermit left Longevity Mountain in search of advancement, and Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor sensed their chance to strike.

• Taiyi refined the Cosmos Cauldron over ten thousand years and raised his comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation to seven percent.
• After another thirty thousand years, Taiyi fully comprehended the laws within the cauldron and reached thirty percent control of the Great Dao of Creation.
• The System offered Taiyi a choice between rescuing Red Cloud Hermit and remaining uninvolved; Taiyi chose to stay hidden and received the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.
• Frustrated by his stalled cultivation and long confinement, Red Cloud Hermit decided to leave Zhen Yuanzi's protection and seek his own opportunity.
• Three days later, Red Cloud Hermit slipped out of Longevity Mountain through the Earth Book fetal membrane formation.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor sensed Red Cloud Hermit's departure and tracked the opportunity they believed had appeared.

Red Cloud Hermit was ambushed by Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor, who sought the Primordial Violet Qi and vengeance. He destroyed himself rather than surrender, leaving both attackers gravely injured as his true spirit and the Primordial Violet Qi flew toward reincarnation.

• Red Cloud Hermit sensed danger after leaving Five Villages Temple but continued toward Fire Cloud Cave, where Nether River Ancestor struck and wounded him.
• Kunpeng Ancestor blocked Red Cloud Hermit's escape and demanded the Primordial Violet Qi, blaming him for the loss of his seat at the assembly.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor attacked Red Cloud Hermit together, trapping him and weakening him until he could barely fight back.
• Red Cloud Hermit lamented that he could not repay Zhen Yuanzi, then transformed into a vast red cloud and detonated himself.
• The explosion badly wounded Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor, who fled to the North Sea Demon Court, while the Primordial Violet Qi and Red Cloud Hermit's remaining true spirit headed for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

After Red Cloud Hermit's death, Zhen Yuanzi mourned him and retreated to cultivate before seeking revenge. Taiyi rejected the system's choices to seize the Primordial Violet Qi or bring Red Cloud into his world, then wondered what the Innate Emotional Dao Source Law was.

• Red Cloud Hermit self-destructed and perished, while Taiyi watched with the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd in hand.
• Zhen Yuanzi sensed Red Cloud Hermit's death, grieved, identified those responsible, and entered seclusion to raise his cultivation before seeking revenge.
• The Six Sages of the Heavens dismissed Red Cloud Hermit's death, and Taiyi received three choices from the Homebody Choice System.
• Taiyi rejected the choice to intercept Red Cloud Hermit's source and seize the Primordial Violet Qi, wary of provoking Heavenly Dao Hongjun and inviting trouble.
• Taiyi also rejected bringing Red Cloud Hermit into the Little Chaos Pearl Heavenly Dao World, reasoning that an outsider could not supply the world's protagonist or source laws.
• Taiyi considered the Innate Emotional Dao Source Law reward and wondered what kind of Great Dao law it was.

Taiyi comprehended the Innate Sentiment Dao, gaining insight into how emotions could influence beings and how Hongjun’s Three Corpses method followed the Emotionless Dao. After the Golden Winged Great Peng broke through to quasi-sage Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, Taiyi chose to remain secluded and received the complete source of the Innate Karma Law to study.

• Taiyi chose the reward of the Innate Sentiment Dao Source Law and comprehended it as the Dao of Sentient Beings and the Human Dao.
• Taiyi learned to control his own emotions and understood that the Three Corpses method attained the Dao through the Emotionless Dao.
• After eighty thousand years, the Golden Winged Great Peng broke through to quasi-sage Golden Immortal of Hunyuan in the neighboring Sun Palace.
• Taiyi rejected the system’s option to send the Golden Winged Great Peng back to the Undying Volcano and chose to continue secluded cultivation.
• The system granted Taiyi the complete source of the Innate Karma Law, which he began comprehending.

Taiyi comprehended and fused the Innate Karma Law Source, escaping the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s karmic net and gaining a new combat ability. He tested the power of karmic Solar Truefire, then began experimenting with combining other laws into it.

• The Golden Winged Great Peng visited Taiyi after reaching the Primordial Golden Immortal quasi-sage realm, and Taiyi bestowed an Innate Spiritual Treasure before dismissing him.
• Taiyi studied the Innate Karma Law Source and concluded that karma bound all things, while even Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Heavenly Dao Sages remained subject to it in different ways.
• After thirty thousand years of seclusion, Taiyi fully fused the source and became imperceptible to the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s karmic network.
• Taiyi judged that he was still far from being able to contend with Hongjun Daozu, then tested Solar Truefire infused with karma laws and found it could unravel what it touched toward its earliest form.
• Taiyi drew the karmic Solar Truefire into his body and began trying to merge other laws into it, filling Taiyi Palace with explosions of laws.

After generations of struggle, the Human Race developed its own cultivation method and won Heavenly Dao merit, then began competing for territory and resources. When Taiyi learned that the North Sea Demon Court planned to slaughter humans and forge the Witch Slaughtering Sword, the system presented him with five choices.

• The Human Race endured generations of failed appeals to the Sages while its ancestors passed down their efforts to create a cultivation method.
• Human prodigies established the Human Race Cultivation Method, raising their strength and earning Heavenly Dao merit.
• The newly empowered Human Race began seeking territory and resources, bringing it into conflict with the Witch Clan and demon race.
• The North Sea Demon Court prepared to slaughter humans and use their flesh, blood, and souls to forge the Witch Slaughtering Sword.
• Taiyi received five system choices, including intervening himself, seeking help from Nüwa or the Ancestral Witches, remaining in seclusion, or sending his Star Incarnations to protect the Human Race.

Taiyi considered the system’s five choices after learning that the Demon Clan was preparing the Witch Slaughtering Sword, rejecting options that would interfere with fate or prove futile. He chose to travel the Primordial Continent through an incarnation, leaving the Sun Palace for the first time in countless millions of years.

• Taiyi learned that the Demon Clan was preparing to refine the Witch Slaughtering Sword and considered the threat it posed to the Human Race.
• Taiyi rejected Option One because preventing the sword’s creation could draw the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun Daozu’s attention.
• Taiyi rejected Option Two because he doubted Goddess Nüwa would oppose the Heavenly Mandate to protect the Human Race.
• Taiyi considered Option Three and its reward of another drop of Pangu Blood Essence, but judged its mission futile because the Witch Court already knew about the Human Race’s properties.
• Taiyi skipped Option Four’s continued seclusion and chose Option Five, deciding to explore the Primordial Continent through an incarnation.

Taiyi fused a complete Primordial Chaos Law Source and sent a merged Star Incarnation to warn the North Sea Demon Court against slaughtering the Human Race. After the Demon Court’s rulers were turned away by Nüwa and Taiqing Laozi, the incarnation entered the chaos beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, where the Six Sages of the Heavens arrived to meet it.

• Taiyi fused the Primordial Chaos Law Source and merged his three hundred and sixty-five Starry Supreme Sun Star Incarnations into one Sub-Sage-level incarnation.
• Taiyi's Star Incarnation entered the North Sea Demon Court and warned Kunpeng Ancestor, Nether River Ancestor, and the assembled demons that slaughtering the Human Race would bring Heavenly Retribution.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor sought counsel from Sage Goddess Nüwa and Sage Taiqing Laozi, but both turned them away.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor returned more determined to refine the Witch Slaughtering Sword and pursue their plans for the Demon Court.
• Taiyi's Star Incarnation crossed Buzhou Mountain into the chaos beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, where the Six Sages of the Heavens arrived before it.

Taiyi confronted the Six Sages in chaos after stopping the demon race from forging the Witch Slaughtering Sword, dismissing their accusations and challenging them to attack. After Yuanshi Tianzun’s Pangu Banner failed to harm Taiyi’s incarnation protected by the Chaos Bell, all six Sages launched a combined assault, and Taiyi charged forward to meet them with his other treasures.

• Laozi questioned Taiyi for changing the Heavenly Dao’s great trend, but Taiyi said he had acted as he pleased to protect the Human Race.
• Laozi threatened Taiyi with the Sages and Hongjun, and Taiyi mocked the Sages as false and challenged them to attack.
• Yuanshi Tianzun struck Taiyi with the Pangu Banner’s World-Splitting Blade, but Taiyi rang the Chaos Bell and emerged unharmed.
• The Six Sages attacked Taiyi together with their treasures and signature techniques as Taiyi chose to test their power rather than evade.
• Taiyi charged toward the Sages with the World-Destroying Black Lotus, a black spear, the Rivers and Mountains Map, and the Primordial Yin-Yang Lightning Five Elements Divine Light.

Taiyi’s stellar avatar fought off the Six Sages of the Heavens and killed Yuanshi Tianzun with the Godslaying Spear. The remaining Five Sages were left stunned by his second Sage-slaying victory.

• Taiyi used his treasures and newly cultivated law abilities to repel the Six Sages’ combined attacks in the chaos.
• After several hundred years of fighting, Taiyi unleashed the Great Sun Karma Holy Light and knocked all Six Sages into the chaos.
• Taiyi charged Yuanshi Tianzun, whose World-Splitting Blades and All Heavens Celebration Cloud failed to stop him.
• Taiyi swept away Yuanshi Tianzun’s All Heavens Celebration Cloud and pierced his chest with the Godslaying Spear.
• Yuanshi Tianzun’s Sage body expanded and exploded as Laozi and Tongtian charged toward Taiyi, leaving the remaining Five Sages stunned.

Taiyi’s incarnation killed Yuanshi Tianzun, causing blood rain to fall across the Chaos and terrifying the Primordial Wilderness. As the remaining Five Sages confronted Taiyi, he dismissed their threats and prepared to keep fighting.

• The death of Yuanshi Tianzun caused the Chaos to darken and blood rain to fall as Heavenly Dao Laws shook the Primordial Wilderness.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor learned that Taiyi had killed Yuanshi Tianzun and resolved to seek Primordial Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation instead of becoming Sages.
• Laozi threatened that the Six Sages would summon Hongjun, while Tongtian stood ready with the Qingping Sword and Four Swords of Zhuxian.
• Taiyi argued that the Sages could not afford to summon Hongjun and called them puppet false Sages beneath the Heavenly Dao.
• As the Five Sages paused, Taiyi secretly recovered his Primordial Chaos mana, and Laozi then ordered them to attack him.
• Taiyi mocked the Sages and asked how many times they could keep falling.

Laozi revealed his hidden strength and rallied the other sages to attack Taiyi, warning that repeated deaths and revivals would erode their primordial spirits. The five sages merged with the Heavenly Dao, leaving Taiyi facing five powers comparable to Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortals.

• Laozi erupted with overwhelming power and urged the sages to join him in slaying Taiyi.
• The sages realized that each revival after death would deepen their karmic burden and bring them closer to assimilation by the Heavenly Dao.
• Laozi invoked his authority as leader of the Mystic Sect and offered Taiyi safety if he sealed himself within the Sun Star.
• Taiyi silently readied the Chaos Bell, Twelfth-Grade Extinction Black Lotus, Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram, and Godslaying Spear.
• Laozi merged with the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao, while Tongtian Jiaozhu, Goddess Nüwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti merged with their respective Dao forms.
• The five sages confronted Taiyi with power comparable to Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortals, putting him in grave danger.

Taiyi chose to confront the Five Sages after they fused with the Heavenly Dao and temporarily attained Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith power. While fighting and sharing insights with his true body, his Star Incarnation comprehended the Battle Dao Law and broke through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith.

• Laozi led the Five Sages in fusing with the Heavenly Dao, borrowing its Power of Rules to reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith-level power.
• The Five Sages surrounded Taiyi and declared their intention to capture his incarnation and seize his treasures.
• Taiyi chose the system’s third option and received a complete Innate Battle Law Source.
• Taiyi fused the Battle Law Source while his incarnation fought the Sages and exchanged information with his true body.
• After three hundred years, Taiyi’s Star Incarnation broke through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith and illuminated the Chaos Sea.

Taiyi defeated the Five Sages with his Great Sun Chaos Holy Light and killed Zhunti and Jieyin. He claimed the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and faced the three remaining Sages, asking whether they would continue fighting.

• Taiyi's Great Sun Chaos Holy Light swept aside the Five Sages' attacks and sent them fleeing.
• The Holy Light pursued Zhunti and Jieyin, who turned to fight it with their Heavenly Dao powers but failed to stop it.
• Taiyi's attack shattered Zhunti and Jieyin's Dao bodies, killing both Sages and exhausting its power.
• The Seven Treasure Wonderful Brush Tree, the twelve-tiered Jieyin Treasure Banner, and the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus flew toward the Primordial World, and Taiyi intercepted the golden lotus.
• Laozi, Tongtian, and Goddess Nüwa stood frozen as Taiyi asked whether they wanted to continue fighting.

Taiyi's stellar incarnation defeated the Sages' hunt and returned to merge with Taiyi's true body, who spent millennia digesting the battle's gains. The system then revealed that the Western Two Sages had engineered Kua Fu's death and Hou Yi's planned attack on Kong Xuan, and offered Taiyi three choices as the Witch and Demon Cataclysm neared.

• Taishang Laozi, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Goddess Nüwa self-destructed rather than continue fighting Taiyi, while the world watched the Sages' blood rain from the chaos.
• Taiyi's stellar incarnation returned to the Sun Star, merged with Taiyi's true body, and completed his comprehension of the Dao of Battle.
• Taiyi analyzed the battle memories and concluded that only a Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith could defeat Sages who had merged with the Heavenly Dao.
• After thirty thousand years of cultivation, the system reported that the Western Two Sages had lured Kong Xuan into killing the Kua Fu Tribe, causing Kua Fu to die pursuing him.
• The system revealed that Hou Yi planned to assassinate Kong Xuan with the Heaven-Shaking Arrows and Sun-Shooting Bow, then offered Taiyi choices to intervene, continue cultivating, or help the North Sea Demon Court destroy the Witch Clan.

Taiyi chose to remain uninvolved when Hou Yi was about to hunt Kong Xuan, earning a seventh Jade Creation Shard. He fused it into his jade pendant and continued comprehending the Three Thousand Laws of the Great Dao.

• Taiyi chose the system's second option during his seclusion, receiving the Innate Taiyin Law Source and continuing to cultivate.
• After eight hundred years, Taiyi comprehended the Taiyin Way and deepened his understanding of the Creation Way.
• The system announced that Hou Yi was about to hunt Kong Xuan and offered Taiyi three choices.
• Taiyi rejected the options to save Kong Xuan or aid Hou Yi and chose to remain uninvolved for a Jade Creation Shard.
• Taiyi fused the seventh Jade Creation Shard into his Jade Plate of Creation Pendant and used its enhanced light to comprehend the Great Dao.
