Taiyi had mastered 2,990 Law Profound Meanings while staying hidden from Heavenly Dao Hongjun as the Witch and Demon conflict escalated. When the Witch and Demon Cataclysm officially began, the Homebody Choice System offered him three choices, each requiring him to act for a faction or remain in seclusion.

• Sage Zhunti struck Wind Ancestral Witch Tianwu and took Kong Xuan to the west, where Kong Xuan became the Great Bright King Peacock Bodhisattva.
• After learning of the Demon Court's attacks on their tribes, the Ancestral Witches considered war, but Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang urged them to wait for the twelfth Ancestral Witch.
• Taiyi remained in the Sun Star, avoided the rising conflict, and continued cultivating until he had mastered 2,990 Law Profound Meanings.
• The Homebody Choice System announced that the Witch and Demon Cataclysm was beginning and presented Taiyi with choices to support the Demon Clan, support the Witch Clan, or stay in the palace.

Taiyi received a Replica Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and Innate Fate Law Source, then used the source to explore the destinies of all things and his own possible futures. He realized the Law of Fate could not accurately predict his path because it relied on predetermined trajectories and failed to account for his changed identity and system.

• Taiyi chose the system reward of a Replica Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and Innate Fate Law Source.
• Taiyi examined the four swords and considered using their formation to kill Zhunti and Jieyin while framing Master Tongtian.
• Taiyi contemplated how mastering the Way of Destiny could perfect his Primordial Skynet and make it inseparable from the Primordial World.
• Taiyi refined the Innate Fate Law Source and entered a realm where he saw the destiny trajectories of countless beings and worlds.
• Taiyi saw two possible trajectories for himself, including one in which he ruled the Demon Clan, and concluded that the Law of Fate could not account for his changed life and system.

Taiyi mastered the Law of Fate and used it to strengthen his claim to rule the Primordial World’s laws. His breakthrough alarmed the Six Sages and awakened Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who looked toward the Sun Star.

• Taiyi completed his comprehension of the Law of Fate, making it the overarching principle governing the 2,991 laws he had fused.
• Taiyi’s breakthrough summoned tribulation clouds over the Sun Star, but they dispersed without striking him, and the changed sunlight eased beings’ bottlenecks.
• The Six Sages reacted to Taiyi’s breakthrough: Laozi pondered its meaning, Nüwa questioned how to choose, Zhunti and Jieyin backed away from conflict, Yuanshi Tianzun seethed, and Tongtian Jiaozhu admired Taiyi.
• The disturbance awakened Hongjun within the Heavenly Dao, and his glance toward the Sun Star made Taiyi feel as though he faced a great enemy.

Taiyi gathered the River of Fate on the Sun Star and comprehended how destiny and fortune shaped fate, while Heavenly Dao Hongjun watched him. As the Witch-Demon war ravaged the Primordial Continent, the Nether River Ancestor harvested merit from the battlefield until Kunpeng Ancestor summoned him back to the Demon Court.

• Taiyi sensed Heavenly Dao Hongjun's power but concluded that his completed divine abilities and Law Proving Dao made him harder to threaten directly.
• Taiyi refined the River of Fate and reasoned that fortune could change destiny, while destiny itself could not be altered directly.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun sensed Taiyi's progress and turned his attention toward him.
• The eleven Ancestral Witches brought a newly created twelfth Ancestral Witch to the battlefield to help form the Twelve Divine Demon Array.

Lady Pingxin restored the overloaded Six Paths of Reincarnation and created six Meng Pos to serve souls crossing the Bridge of Helplessness. As the Witch and Demon War intensified and Calamity Qi consumed the Primordial Continent, a star formation appeared in the sky and turned its gaze upon the Witch Clan.

• The Ten Great Demon Gods and the Great Witches fought in a chaotic battle while both clans remained trapped in the slaughter.
• The Starry Supreme Sun Star and thousands of other stars formed a vast formation, whose Heavenly Demon Slaughter Aura targeted the Witch Clan and filled its members with dread.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned a weakened Pangu True Body to face the Demon Clan’s Starry Sky Great Formation. Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor defeated it, leaving the Ancestral Witches badly wounded as a third strike gathered overhead.

• Dijiang urged the Ancestral Witches to form the Twelve Divine Demon Array, and they summoned Pangu True Body despite the new Ancestral Witch’s instability.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor unleashed Great Zhou Heavenly Universe Starfall against Pangu True Body.
• Pangu True Body struck back with Pangu’s Iron Fist, tearing open the sky and unleashing Chaos Energy, but the starfall overwhelmed it and knocked it down.
• Kunpeng Ancestor, Nether River Ancestor, and the Demon Clan attacked again, blasting Pangu True Body apart and severely wounding the twelve Ancestral Witches.
• Zhurong lamented that the Witch Clan could not have been so badly outmatched if Ancestral Witch Houtu were still present as a third starfall gathered.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches charged the Demon Clan’s Starry Sky Great Formation, hoping to stop its attacks, but Xuanming was struck by the Great Zhou Heavenly Universe Starfall. Shebishi sacrificed himself to summon Pangu’s power, destroying the incoming attack and weakening the formation, while the surviving Ancestral Witches mourned his death.

• Dijiang led the Ancestral Witches in a desperate charge toward the North Sea Demon Court and its Starry Sky Great Formation.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor struck Tianwu with the Great Zhou Heavenly Universe Starfall, heavily injuring him, then unleashed another strike that swallowed Xuanming in starlight.
• Grief-stricken over Xuanming’s fate, Shebishi rushed toward the formation’s core, resolved to sacrifice himself and summon Pangu’s power.
• Shebishi offered himself to Pangu, dissolving into Pangu’s power and neutralizing the Great Zhou Heavenly Universe Starfall aimed at him.
• Shebishi’s remaining Pangu power struck the Starry Sky Great Formation, destroying stars and weakening it before he vanished completely.
• Dijiang and the other surviving Ancestral Witches watched the formation weaken but mourned Shebishi’s death.

After Shebishi fell, Tianwu sacrificed himself to break the Starry Sky Great Formation open, allowing the Ancestral Witches to attack Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor. Nether River turned the damaged formation against the Witch Clan and slaughtered them, until Dijiang confronted him and their battle shattered the surrounding stars.

• Tianwu rushed into the damaged Starry Sky Great Formation and sacrificed himself, causing more stars to fall and opening a breach for the Ancestral Witches.

• Qiangliang and Xizi self-destructed, and Dijiang despaired over the Ancestral Witches' mounting losses.
• Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor attacked Dijiang and Jumang with the Great Zhou Heavenly Universe Starfall, prompting Dijiang to sacrifice himself and Jumang to self-destruct in retaliation.

• Taiyi summoned his 365 stellar incarnations and sent them to claim the fallen Ancient Stars for their Stars Dao.
• The stellar incarnations searched the battlefield while other Primordial Powerhouses backed away, afraid the remaining Ancestral Witches might attack them.

Taiyi’s Star Incarnations recovered the fallen Ancient Stars while the awakened Gonggong and Zhurong avenged the Witch Clan by attacking the Demon Clan. After slaughtering its forces, the two Ancestral Witches struck Buzhou Mountain, shattering the pillar that supported the heavens.

• Taiyi watched his three hundred sixty-five Star Incarnations return with the Ancient Stars and anticipated that refining them would strengthen the incarnations.
• Gonggong and Zhurong awakened, grieved for their fallen kin, and attacked the wounded Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor.
• Kunpeng Ancestor escaped toward the North Sea, while Nether River Ancestor fled to the Blood Sea as fewer than a hundred of his Blood God Doppelganger clones survived Zhurong’s fire.
• Gonggong and Zhurong slaughtered the Demon Clan’s soldiers and generals, becoming engulfed by Calamity Qi and karmic power.
• Gonggong and Zhurong fused water and fire, then crashed into Buzhou Mountain and split the pillar in two, destabilizing the Primordial World.

After Gonggong and Zhurong broke Buzhou Mountain, Taiyi rejected the system’s offers to intervene and chose to remain in the Sun Star, receiving the Heaven Suppressing Coffin and Sagefall Pills. As he began refining the coffin, the Six Sages emerged together to repair the world and save the Primordial Continent.

• Gonggong and Zhurong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, breaking the heavenly pillar and unleashing floods, fires, and destruction across the Primordial Continent.
• Taiyi considered the system’s choices to repair the heavens, remain in seclusion, or destroy the Primordial Wilderness, then chose to stay put.
• The system gave Taiyi the Heaven Suppressing Coffin and three Sagefall Pills, treasures capable of sealing or bringing down Heavenly Dao Sages.
• Taiyi began refining the Heaven Suppressing Coffin with Grand Luo-level Solar Truefire, overpowering its baleful energy.
• The Six Sages received Heavenly Dao Hongjun’s decree and emerged from their dojos together to mend the heavens and save the Primordial Continent.

The six Sages stabilized the Primordial World after Buzhou Mountain collapsed, but the hole in the heavens still needed a lasting repair. Nüwa proposed sealing it with Five-Colored Divine Stones, and Laozi pressed the Western Sages to supply the required Primordial Geng Metal.

• Laozi gathered the six Sages to carry out Hongjun's decree to mend the heavens, and Nüwa said the work would benefit her as well.
• Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun subdued the invading Chaos Qi and restored the world's spiritual energy, while Tongtian Jiaozhu stabilized the land and Nüwa held back the floods with Nine Heavens Breath Soil.
• Zhunti and Jieyin helped repair the land and rivers as the six Sages labored for tens of thousands of years to stabilize the collapsing Primordial World.
• Laozi explained that the Taiji Diagram could only temporarily cover the hole in the heavens, so the Sages needed a lasting solution.
• Nüwa proposed refining Five-Colored Divine Stones to mend the hole, and Laozi agreed that the Five Elements made the method suitable.
• Nüwa asked the Sages to contribute Five Elements treasures, and Laozi told Zhunti and Jieyin that the West should provide Primordial Geng Metal.

Goddess Nüwa gathered the five-element materials, received a Heaven Refining Furnace from Hongjun, and mended the hole in the sky with forty-nine Five-Colored Divine Stones. After earning most of the Heavenly Dao Merit, she told the Sages that they still needed to establish pillars to support heaven and earth.

• Laozi demanded Western Primordial Geng Metal, and Jieyin reluctantly handed over a large chunk while the other Sages supplied the remaining five-element materials.
• Goddess Nüwa asked for a furnace, and Hongjun sent down a Heaven Refining Furnace for her to use.
• After several thousand years, Goddess Nüwa refined fifty Five-Colored Divine Stones and flew to the hole in the sky.
• Goddess Nüwa used forty-nine stones and her Creation Laws to seal the hole, then tossed the unused stone toward the East Sea, where it would become Sun Wukong.
• Zhunti memorized the falling stone's aura, while Taiyi watched it from the Sun Star and considered its future significance.
• Goddess Nüwa received ninety percent of the Sky-Mending Merit, the other Sages shared the rest, and she asked what should support the pillars of heaven.

Master Tongtian killed the North Sea Black Tortoise and helped Goddess Nüwa forge its four limbs into pillars to replace Buzhou Mountain. The pillars were completed, and the Sages set out to erect them at the four extremes of the Primordial World.

• Laozi told Master Tongtian that the North Sea Black Tortoise should be slain so its limbs could support the heavenly pillars, and Tongtian went to the North Sea.
• The North Sea Black Tortoise attacked Tongtian, who killed it with the Qingping Sword and removed its four limbs and shell.
• Goddess Nüwa and the other Sages refined the Black Tortoise’s limbs, while Laozi maintained the Taiji Diagram to stabilize heaven and earth.
• After the Heaven Refining Furnace forged the four pillars, Yuanshi Tianzun, Master Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti restrained them and headed for the four extremes of the Primordial World.

After stabilizing heaven and earth, the Six Sages received Heavenly Dao merit and were summoned by Heavenly Dao Hongjun to Purple Cloud Palace. Taiyi suspected Hongjun was preparing to eliminate him, while the Six Sages arrived at the palace and met Hongjun.

• The Six Sages stabilized the Primordial World and received six portions of Heavenly Dao merit for supporting heaven.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun summoned the Six Sages to the Chaotic Purple Cloud Palace, and Taiyi suspected Hongjun was guarding against him and planning to remove him.
• The Six Sages crossed the chaos to Purple Cloud Palace, where Haotian and Jade Pool welcomed them.
• Laozi gave Haotian and Jade Pool Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, while Jieyin and Zhunti offered small pieces of Primordial Geng Metal and earned their displeasure.
• The Six Sages entered the main hall, and Heavenly Dao Hongjun greeted them.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun summoned the six Sages and ordered them to support the Human Race and stabilize yin and yang. After the Sages recommended Haotian and Jade Pool, Hongjun appointed them joint sovereigns of the Primordial Heavenly Court.

• Heavenly Dao Hongjun summoned the six Sages and told them the Human Race would become the era’s protagonist, ordering them to support it.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun asked the Sages to recommend candidates for the vacant joint sovereignty of the Heavenly Court.
• The six Sages jointly recommended Haotian and Jade Pool, but Hongjun initially rejected the proposal because they had earned no merit or virtue.
• Laozi urged Hongjun to appoint Haotian and Jade Pool, while the other Sages deferred to Hongjun’s decision.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun appointed Haotian the second Heavenly Emperor and Jade Pool the first Heavenly Empress of the Primordial Heavenly Court.

Hongjun appointed Haotian and Jade Pool to govern the Heavenly Court and bestowed treasures on them, while Taiyi chose to remain in seclusion and received his eighth Jade Creation Shard. After Hongjun sent the six Sages home, they agreed to pursue Heavenly Court fortune for their own disciples and lineages.

• Hongjun appointed Haotian and Jade Pool as Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress and gave them many treasures, prompting envy from Zhunti and Jieyin.
• Taiyi received a system prompt about Haotian and Jade Pool’s appointment and chose to remain uninvolved, earning another Jade Creation Shard.
• Taiyi fused the shard with his other shards and returned to seclusion to study the remaining nine Laws of the Dao.
• Haotian and Jade Pool reclaimed control of the Heavenly Court, and Primordial powerhouses fell silent after learning they were Hongjun’s attendants.
• Hongjun sent the six Sages home, and Laozi proposed that they seek Heavenly Court fortune for their disciples and lineages.
