Zhou Yuan uncovered the Black and White Divine Demon’s plot, advanced to the True One Realm, and gained allies and resources on his journey east. After claiming the Wei River Water God’s Golden Seal and reaching the Grand Unity Great Sage Realm, he prepared to manage the Water Mansion as war loomed across the Primordial World.
Zhou Yuan established the Wei River Water Mansion, defeated Dao Lord Tianshui’s hidden bodies, and expanded his control across the Tianshui waterways and upper Huai River. After Empress Nuwa invited him to Phoenix Perch Mountain, Dao Lord Fuxi granted him access to the Creation Pavilion and promised to take him to the Thirty-three Heavens in ten thousand years.
Zhou Yuan became the Heavenly River Water God, then broke through to become an Innate Dao Lord of the Water Element Cycle Great Dao. After defeating the Dragon Clan’s attack and claiming the lower Huai River, he left his forces to consolidate the region as a mysterious cave released a dangerous white-headed ape.
Zhou Yuan established his Dao lineage at Wuyi Mountain and spread the Acquired Merchant Dao through the demon and witch territories. After leaving his disciples to manage the mountain, he answered Granny Huai’s plea as Hundred Flowers Valley faced an attack.
Zhou Yuan established the Earth Immortal lineage, survived Great Freedom Heavenly Son’s attack, and became stranded in the Netherworld, where he captured Chaos Demon Gods and met Meng Po. He persuaded her to help create the Ghost Immortal Path, leaving her to question how it might return souls and extinct Chaos Demon Gods to life.
Zhou Yuan established his Primordial path, reshaped the Netherworld, and defeated Great Freedom Heavenly Son with Grand Pure Daoist. As the Mystic Gate’s opening approached, Zhou Yuan’s intervention helped Wu Zhiqi crush a plot to seize the merchant association, though the hidden mastermind remained to be uncovered.
Zhou Yuan helped establish the Five Immortal Dao Lineages, then led the Mystic Gate to victory over the Losers' Alliance. As Wuyi Mountain spread its influence, Zhou Yuan defeated Old Ancestor Kunpeng and secured the North Nether waters for his lineage.
As the Witch-Demon Tribulation erupted, the Demon Clan clashed with East King Duke’s Dao Court and sought a formation capable of overcoming it. Zhou Yuan secured a place in the Star God Lineage and launched the Star Enlightenment plan, while Di Jun prepared to use the stars against his enemies.
Zhou Yuan became the Water Element Black Emperor after overcoming challenges from the Demon Clan, Yu Jiang, and Ming He. As he prepared to reopen the Black Emperor Water Mansion, Di Jun’s suspicions threatened to widen divisions within the Demon Clan.
As Zhou Yuan and the Mystic Gate faced the Witch and Demon clans’ growing power, they prepared to create the Human Race while Zhao Wushang rose through the Divine Path and clashed with Buddhist forces. The stretch ends with Zhao Wushang seeking Wang Liuyang’s cooperation to support the Dragon Court and share in the Human Dao’s fortune.
