Five Heavenly Dao Saints entered Qingyuan’s Great Flood game to investigate its reality and uncover the Divine Mountain’s secret. After dismissing the players’ preparations for the coming flood, they faced the disaster themselves as it swept away the ships.

• The five Saints discussed Hongjun’s order, entered the Great Flood, and began investigating the world.
• Taishang Laojun found the soil and plants were real, while Venerable Yuanshi confirmed the world had complete, independent Laws and the Divine Mountain had its own foundation.
• Zhunti and Jieyin tried to climb the Divine Mountain but were stopped by pressure tied to their cultivation, while Nuwa observed the Myriad Races and concluded the world had life of its own.
• As players spent the game’s years building ships for the next flood, the five Saints prepared defenses and planned to climb the mountain when the disaster arrived.
• The flood broke through the sky, wrecked the players’ ships, and the five Saints unleashed their power of Laws to stop it.

The five Heavenly Dao Saints drowned during the flood, while Qingyuan added the Ark of Life hint to the game announcement and watched players prepare another shipbuilding attempt. The Saints returned to the Divine Mountain after raising their game bodies to Quasi-Saint, but their renewed climb was interrupted when the seventh flood began.

• Venerable Yuanshi, Taishang Laojun, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti ran out of magical power and were swept away by the flood, joining a trillion players in the Resurrection Space.
• Zhunti cursed the developers on the forum under an alias, while Qingyuan recognized the five Saints and concluded their deaths could help him study their connection to the Heavenly Dao.
• Qingyuan added the words Ark of Life to the announcement, prompting players to debate the hint and build new ships after the flood receded.
• The five Saints cultivated together at the Divine Mountain for one million eight hundred thousand years and reached the Quasi-Saint realm.
• The Saints climbed beyond the mountainside using a shared Law Cycle and their replica treasures, but the seventh flood broke through the sky and struck their defenses.

After seven failed attempts to survive the World-Destroying Flood, the five Saints reconsidered the meaning of Qingyuan’s hint, “Ark of Life.” Nuwa proposed that the ark had to be made from living beings, leaving the Saints to confront the possibility that only those carried by it would survive.

• The five Saints were swept away by the flood again, and they concluded that Quasi-Saint cultivation and teamwork could not save them.
• Players and Saints debated the Ark of Life as ships, Law Resonance, and True Spirit Sacrifice all failed across seven flood cycles.
• The five Saints gathered in a temporary Void Heaven and Earth to analyze Qingyuan’s hint and the flood’s destructive Laws.
• Taishang Laojun suggested that life itself, rather than a conventional ship, had to survive the flood.
• Nuwa proposed building an enormous living ark from the flesh and blood of countless beings, and Jieyin warned that it would decide who lived and who died.

The five Saints debated whether Nuwa’s Life Ark theory was reliable and how to gather enough players to build an ark without exposing their identities. Zhunti proposed secretly subduing the game’s regions, and after rapidly reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, the Saints seized control and summoned billions of players beneath the Divine Mountain as the flood approached.

• Nuwa’s theory that players’ flesh and blood could form an ark remained unproven, and Taishang Laojun explained that more than thirty percent of all players would need to sacrifice themselves at once.
• Zhunti proposed that the five Saints conceal their identities, divide the game world into five regions, and control its major forces before launching the Life Ark Plan.
• The Saints agreed, entered the reopened game, absorbed Dao Resonance beneath the Divine Mountain, and reached the Quasi-Saint realm after more than a million years.
• Taishang Laojun seized control of the east, Venerable Yuanshi took the south, Zhunti subdued the west, Jieyin took the north, and Nuwa intimidated forces in the central region.
• The five Saints’ actions sparked complaints on the forums, but their forces gathered more than ten billion players beneath the Divine Mountain, where everyone waited for an explanation as the flood neared.

Over a billion players assembled themselves into an ark at the foot of Divine Mountain after the five major factions ordered them to use their bodies as shipbuilding materials. As the Saints watched the bizarre vessel take shape, they began to grasp the scale and significance of the players’ collective effort.

• Players at the foot of Divine Mountain speculated about why they had been summoned, then erupted in protest when the five major factions ordered them to assemble an ark from their bodies.
• More than half of the players initially fled, but many returned or stayed, and the crowd began jokingly volunteering for roles such as cabin, deck, stern, head, and ribs.
• Players organized into ship-shaped formations, crowded into assigned positions, and chanted increasingly irreverent slogans as the ark took shape.
• Over a billion players completed a vast human ark stretching from Divine Mountain to the edge of the wilderness, decorating it with the words “Ark of Life” and warnings to the flood.
• Venerable Yuanshi, Taishang Laojun, Daoist Zhunti, Daoist Jieyin, and Empress Nuwa watched the ark and reflected on what the players’ collective effort meant.
• Someone posted an aerial image of the ark on the forum, and the post immediately reached the front page as comments surged.

More than a billion players assembled themselves into the Ark of Life, and the vessel rose through the World-Destroying Flood, confirming Nuwa’s plan and allowing it to pass Divine Mountain’s pressure. As the ark climbed toward the summit, however, Law Fragments began breaking down its hull and the players forming it.

• Players gathered at Divine Mountain watched the flood strike the living ark, which survived the waves and rose from the ground.
• Drowned players awoke in Resurrection Space and confirmed on the forum that the ark had floated; players analyzed its design and pledged to become ship planks in the next flood.
• Jieyin, Zhunti, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi, and Nuwa rode the ark as the flood carried it upward, and they discussed how the players’ living bodies had made the vessel possible.
• Yuanshi realized Divine Mountain Pressure did not repel the ark because Divine Mountain Origin recognized it as living beings rather than an object.
• As the ark rose past the mountain’s waist, Law Fragments seeped through cracks in its bottom and stern, breaking down the players’ bodies and widening the gaps in the hull.

The Ark of Life collapsed halfway up the Divine Mountain, but players realized that building it from their bodies was the right way to face the World-Destroying Great Flood. The five Saints then resolved to form the Alliance Under Heaven and organize enough players for the next attempt.

• The Ark of Life broke apart under the flood and the Divine Mountain’s pressure, drowning its players before it could reach the summit.
• Ship-Bottom No. 2 and other revived players celebrated the discovery and discussed improving the Ark’s design, assigning positions, and rehearsing before the next flood.
• Daoist Zhunti praised Saint Nuwa for recognizing that the Ark had to be built from living players.
• Daoist Jieyin warned that too many players had deserted or logged off, leaving the Saints unable to guarantee enough people for the Ark.
• Venerable Yuanshi proposed uniting every faction into the Alliance Under Heaven and using Doomsday as a shared cause to compel players to take part.
• The five Saints agreed to reach the Quasi-Saint realm, subdue factions, and gather enough players to take the Ark to the summit next time.

Qingyuan followed the Great Dao Fishing Rod into the River of Time and fought off the Chaos forces resisting his catch. He pulled up the missing handle of Pangu’s Creation Axe, leaving him convinced that heaven supported his plan to devour the Primordial Wilderness.

• Qingyuan considered how the New Primordial Wilderness was growing through players’ deaths and rebirths, and anticipated eventually facing the Primordial Wilderness’s forces alone.
• When the Great Dao Fishing Rod tugged, Qingyuan went to the River of Time and released some of his true body’s power to resist the immense pull.
• Qingyuan destroyed waves of Chaos Demon God Phantoms with the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws as they attacked him.
• A giant hand of Chaos reached for Qingyuan, but he shattered it with a law sphere and used the opening to haul up his catch.
• Qingyuan recognized the object as the missing handle of the Creation Axe Pangu had used to split Chaos, and concluded that heaven seemed to favor his plan to devour the Primordial Wilderness.

Qingyuan defeated a primordial hand in the River of Time and recovered the damaged tail of the Creation Axe, while continuing to wait for the New Primordial Wilderness to gain enough True Spirit imprints to replace the old Heavenly Dao. After the World-Destroying Flood receded, the five Saints again organized Alliance Under Heaven, whose membership reached thirty quadrillion as they prepared for the next flood.

• Qingyuan fought and sealed a gigantic hand beneath the River of Time, then pulled the Creation Axe's damaged tail from the river.
• Qingyuan stored the axe fragment and resolved to wait until enough Primordial Wilderness inhabitants had joined the Great Flood before acting against the old Heavenly Dao.
• The World-Destroying Flood receded, and tens of quadrillions of players returned to the game to seek treasures and improve the Ark of Life.
• The five Saints spent 1.7 million years cultivating together until each had reached the Quasi-Saint realm.
• The five Saints divided across the New Primordial Wilderness and expanded Alliance Under Heaven, assigning players to ark formations and preparing for the next flood.
• Alliance Under Heaven grew to thirty quadrillion members, even as more than half of the players fled.

The Alliance Under Heaven drilled hundreds of billions of players into a living Ark of Life to survive the World-Destroying Great Flood, while many other players chose to log off during the disaster. The ark cultivated and strengthened as the waters rose, but it broke apart before reaching Divine Mountain's summit, swallowing countless players and the five Saints.

• The Alliance Under Heaven organized hundreds of billions of players to drill an enormous Ark of Life, while independent players planned to log off during the flood.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints oversaw the Ark Command Hall as the World-Destroying Great Flood began at Divine Mountain.
• Alliance Under Heaven members assembled their bodies into a vast ark that floated above the rising floodwaters.
• The players aboard the ark cultivated and absorbed Law Fragments, strengthening the ship as the water rose.
• The ark's hull, cabins, ribs, and stern cracked under the flood's pressure and collapsed before reaching the summit, swallowing countless players and the Heavenly Dao Saints.

The five Heavenly Dao Saints debated how to rebuild the Ark of Life after the World-Destroying Flood destroyed it. They chose Yuanshi’s plan to arrange players by their Laws and attributes, while Nuwa’s proposal to gather far more players was rejected; Qingyuan, listening from Golden Ao Island, recognized that the Ark’s strength depended on the number of lives supporting it.

• Zhunti lamented that the Ark of Life had failed during the flood, and Yuanshi argued that it had collapsed because its builders had not followed rules for arranging players and their Laws.
• Jieyin and Taiqing agreed that the players should be organized by their Five Elements, Laws, and Daoxing to create a stable Ark.
• Nuwa proposed that the Ark had failed because too few players had joined and suggested gathering one hundred billion or even every registered player.
• Zhunti and Jieyin said that recruiting so many players was unrealistic, while Yuanshi urged the Saints to first rebuild the Ark using the willing players they already had.
• The Saints rejected Nuwa’s proposal and decided to follow Yuanshi’s rule-based plan.
• Qingyuan listened from the beach north of Golden Ao Island and concluded that the Ark depended on having enough lives to support it, allowing more Primordial Wilderness true spirits to enter the New Primordial Wilderness.

Qingyuan refined a fragment of Pangu’s Creation Axe while anticipating the opposition he would face from Hongjun and the Primordial Wilderness. In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun and the five Saints examined the Great Flood game’s benefits and repeated failures but could not understand Qingyuan’s purpose, leaving Hongjun deeply uneasy.

• Qingyuan slowly refined a fragment of the Creation Axe and monitored the Great Flood game’s growing registrations and survival data.
• Hongjun read forum posts about the failed Ark and five Quasi-Saints dying in the flood, then wondered what Qingyuan intended.
• Hongjun summoned Taishang Laojun, Venerable Yuanshi, Empress Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti to report what they had learned from the game.
• The five Saints described the Ark’s collapse and the game’s unusually rich cultivation gains, but admitted they could not discern Qingyuan’s motive.
• Hongjun sent the Saints away to investigate the Great Flood’s secrets and continued brooding over the reports, unable to shake his unease.

After players praised the Alliance Under Heaven and the rewards of surviving the World-Destroying Great Flood, the five Heavenly Dao Saints entered the game again and helped rebuild the Ark of Life with more than fifty billion players. The ark still shattered after more than thirty thousand years, leaving the Saints to consider trying again on an even larger scale.

• Players argued on the forums about Dao Resonance Fragments, the Alliance Under Heaven, and whether its supporters were shills, while applications to join the alliance continued to rise.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints waited for the cooldown to end, then entered the game again and reached Quasi-Saint earlier than before.
• Venerable Yuanshi's construction plan helped the Alliance Under Heaven gather more than fifty billion players and build a more organized Ark of Life.
• When the flood came, players who had not boarded the ark were swept away, while those aboard cultivated as Dao Resonance Fragments fell from the sky.
• After more than thirty thousand years, the ark weakened despite its formations, developed spreading cracks, and broke apart beneath the flood.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints exited the game and understood that they might need even more players and a larger ark next time.

The five Heavenly Dao Saints increased the number of players building the Ark, extending its survival past sixty-five thousand years and revealing a clearer line of light beyond the Doomsday Flood. As Qingyuan watched the New Primordial Wilderness take shape, he accepted that its completion would leave him standing alone against everyone.

• Venerable Yuanshi proposed imposing a restriction on players so they would obey collective commands, and the Saints used it to coordinate more than a hundred billion players.
• The restricted players built an Ark that survived for over fifty thousand years before breaking apart, convincing the Saints that increasing player numbers was the right approach.
• The Saints mobilized factions across the Primordial Wilderness to register accounts, raising the online population above four hundred billion.
• The expanded Ark lasted beyond sixty-five thousand years, and the Saints saw a clearer line of light before the Ark broke apart.
• Qingyuan watched the growing player count expand the New Primordial Wilderness and reflected that he would eventually face everyone alone when that world was complete.

The five Heavenly Dao Saints promoted Great Flood and used the expanded player base to build an Alliance Under Heaven capable of enduring the World-Destroying Great Flood. After seventy thousand years, their ship reached the Divine Mountain’s peak, where they found a pillar made of dozens or hundreds of strands of Primordial Violet Qi.

• The five Heavenly Dao Saints agreed to promote Great Flood after concluding that only enormous numbers of players could survive the flood and reach the Divine Mountain’s peak.
• Cultivators across the Primordial Wilderness joined Great Flood, where they could cultivate, carry insights back to reality, and spend ten thousand years in the game for each day outside it.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints established a vast Alliance Under Heaven, gathering more than eight hundred billion players and forcing many of them to board a massive ship.
• The players endured the flood aboard the ship for seventy thousand years, repairing its formations and replacing exhausted crew members as they made their way toward the Divine Mountain.
• The ship reached the summit, where the five Heavenly Dao Saints and the players saw a pillar formed from numerous strands of Primordial Violet Qi.

Eight hundred billion players rushed toward a pillar of Primordial Violet Qi on the Divine Mountain, breaking the Ark of Life and dying in the flood before they could reach it. After the game ended, the five Heavenly Dao Saints agreed to turn the players into puppets for the next attempt, while forum rumors about the violet qi drove registration numbers higher.

• The players saw hundreds of strands of Primordial Violet Qi on the Divine Mountain and surged toward it despite the five Heavenly Dao Saints' warnings.
• The Ark of Life's formations failed and the ship broke apart as players jumped toward the mountain; the flood swallowed them all, ending the game.
• Daoist Zhunti judged the violet qi to be an illusion, while Daoist Jieyin proposed refining every player into a puppet for the next expedition.
• Daoist Zhunti and the other Heavenly Dao Saints tacitly accepted Daoist Jieyin's plan to control the players and keep the ship intact.
• Players spread reports of the Primordial Violet Qi across the game forum, and Great Flood registration surged as the Alliance Under Heaven announced another expedition.

The five Heavenly Dao Saints used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to capture and control more than two trillion players, then forced them to build an ark for the coming flood. The ark survived the seventy-thousand-year flood and approached the Divine Mountain, leaving the players unable to move as the Primordial Violet Qi drew near.

• Players flooded into the game and joined the Alliance Under Heaven to prepare for a chance to seize the Primordial Violet Qi.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints revealed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and captured more than two trillion players, binding their souls and controlling their movements.
• The controlled players built a sturdy ark in perfect coordination, and the five Heavenly Dao Saints directed its construction.
• The ark endured the flood for seventy thousand years and continued toward the Divine Mountain.
• The players watched the Primordial Violet Qi draw closer, unable to move or act.

As the Ark of Life approached Divine Mountain through a world-swallowing flood, the five Heavenly Dao Saints agreed how to divide the Primordial Violet Qi and began extracting it from the pillar. A vast face appeared across the sky, stopping the rain and freezing the water as the Saints looked up in alarm.

• The controlled players remained trapped aboard the Ark of Life and complained on the forum as the ship carried them toward Divine Mountain.
• Zhunti proposed dividing the Primordial Violet Qi, and Jieyin, Taishang Laojun, Venerable Yuanshi, and Nuwa agreed to the shares.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints reached the pillar and used their powers to draw strands of Primordial Violet Qi from it.
• A gigantic, indistinct face appeared in the sky, the rain stopped, and the water froze as the Saints looked up in unease.

Qingyuan appeared in the game and destroyed the world around the five Heavenly Dao Saints, forcing them back to their dojos. After Hongjun determined that Qingyuan meant to use the game to devour the Primordial Wilderness, a vast mouth emerged from Chaos, and Saint Taiqing revealed that Qingyuan was after the True Spirit Imprints of all Loose Immortals.

• Zhunti and Venerable Yuanshi asked Qingyuan to let the Saints return to reality, but Qingyuan declared that the era sustained by the Tribulation of Calamity should end and a new era should begin.
• Qingyuan's power shattered the game world, destroyed the Ark of Life's protections, and caused the five Heavenly Dao Saints and the players to lose consciousness.
• The five Heavenly Dao Saints returned to their dojos, then gathered at Zixiao Palace and recounted the events to Hongjun.
• Hongjun used the Creation Jade Butterfly and concluded that Qingyuan intended to replace the Primordial Wilderness with the game and devour it.
• A gigantic mouth approached the Primordial Wilderness from Chaos, and Saint Taiqing said Qingyuan had collected the True Spirit Imprints of players in the game and now sought those of unregistered Loose Immortals.

The Primordial Wilderness came under mysterious pressure as cracks spread through the heavens and the Four Extremities began to collapse, leaving countless beings and even Hunyuan Saints unable to identify the cause. Sect Master Tongtian went to Zixiao Palace to seek answers, where Zhunti accused his disciple Qingyuan of causing the upheaval.

• The Four Extremities shook and suffered damage as cracks spread across the sky, alarming the Four Directional Gods and beings throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
• Immortals and great powers emerged from seclusion, while Baize and other Hunyuan Saints exchanged messages but found no explanation for the upheaval.
• Sect Master Tongtian sensed the Heavenly Dao's foreboding and traveled from Biyou Palace to Zixiao Palace, where Hongjun and the other Saints had gathered.
• Sect Master Tongtian asked what was happening and whether the Immeasurable Calamity had arrived early.
• Zhunti questioned whether Tongtian was pretending not to know and blamed his prized eldest disciple, Qingyuan, for the catastrophe.
• Sect Master Tongtian reacted with confusion and asked how Qingyuan could have caused it.

Sect Master Tongtian learned that the Saints accused Qingyuan of using a game to record the True Spirits of countless Primordial Wilderness beings and bring about the Primordial Wilderness's collapse. He confronted Qingyuan in Chaos and threatened to purge the Interception Sect if Qingyuan did not stop.

• Daoist Zhunti accused Qingyuan of creating a game that secretly recorded True Spirits and concealed his plan to devour the Primordial Wilderness.
• Venerable Yuanshi blamed Sect Master Tongtian for founding the Interception Sect and failing to discipline Qingyuan.
• Sect Master Tongtian asked Hongjun why he had been excluded from the investigation, then rushed into Chaos with his sword.
• Sect Master Tongtian called for Qingyuan, who emerged from the darkness and asked why his master had come first.
• Sect Master Tongtian demanded that Qingyuan stop and threatened to purge the Interception Sect.

Qingyuan accused Dao Ancestor Hongjun of manipulating tribulations and secretly damaging the Primordial Wilderness, while Hongjun condemned Qingyuan for trying to destroy it. When Qingyuan refused to stop, Sect Master Tongtian unleashed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation against his former disciple, leaving their clash about to begin.

• Sect Master Tongtian asked Qingyuan whether he still recognized him as his master and demanded to know why he was acting against the Primordial Wilderness.
• Qingyuan claimed he had repeatedly protected the Primordial Wilderness Source from Hongjun's schemes and said the Interception Sect would have been destroyed without him.
• Hongjun denounced Qingyuan before the Primordial Wilderness, accusing him of stealing living beings' True Spirits and seeking to devour the world's foundation.
• Qingyuan challenged Hongjun's right to damage the Primordial Wilderness and refused Sect Master Tongtian's demand to stop.
• Sect Master Tongtian declared that he would spare no one who threatened the Primordial Wilderness, then opened the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
• The Four Immortal Slaying Swords charged toward Qingyuan as he stood his ground, recognizing the formation he had studied with Sect Master Tongtian.

Qingyuan stood unharmed within Sect Master Tongtian’s enhanced Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and broke it without lifting a hand. With Tongtian defeated and the Heavenly Dao Saints and Primordial Wilderness’s living beings overwhelmed by despair, the world was left with no apparent defender against Qingyuan.

• Sect Master Tongtian unleashed the enhanced Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which he and Qingyuan had strengthened beyond the formation’s former power.
• Qingyuan remained calm as the formation’s sword qi and four immortal swords failed to breach his invisible barrier, while the watching Saints and Dao Ancestor Hongjun feared his strength.
• The formation’s power rebounded until its diagram shattered, and the damaged Four Immortal Slaying Swords returned to Tongtian.
• Tongtian faced Qingyuan in silence, devastated that his strongest disciple had become his adversary and that he could not stop him from destroying the Primordial Wilderness.
• The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Zhenyuan, Minghe, Kunpeng, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and countless living beings despaired as they wondered who could stand against Qingyuan.

Qingyuan explained that he planned to swallow the Primordial Wilderness to stop Hongjun from draining it, then create a new world beyond Hongjun’s influence. Hongjun rallied the living beings against him, and the six Heavenly Dao Saints attacked Qingyuan together in the Chaos.

• Tongtian left Qingyuan in despair after the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation shattered and his swords failed to reach him.
• Hongjun called Qingyuan an enemy of all living beings and urged the Primordial Wilderness to fight, inspiring its people to stand against him.
• Qingyuan resolved to swallow the Primordial Wilderness himself because he believed repairing it only helped Hongjun devour it.
• Taiqing, Yuanshi, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Tongtian confronted Qingyuan and urged him to turn back.
• Qingyuan warned the Saints that Hongjun was using them, then invited them to attack.
• The six Saints unleashed their treasures and Dao powers against Qingyuan in the Chaos.

The six Heavenly Dao Saints attacked Qingyuan with full power, but he remained unharmed and effortlessly shattered their techniques, while Hongjun secretly bolstered them with the Creation Jade Disk. Hongjun then recruited the gathered Hunyuan Saints to join the battle, promising them recognition and status as true Saints, and ordered them to strike.

• The six Heavenly Dao Saints unleashed their strongest attacks on Qingyuan, whose Great Dao power absorbed them without leaving a mark.
• Hongjun watched from Zixiao Palace and realized the Saints could only stand against Qingyuan because he was secretly supporting them with the Creation Jade Disk and the Primordial Wilderness Source.
• Qingyuan caught and dimmed the Red Embroidered Ball, destroyed the Taiji Diagram's attacks, shattered Jieyin's Buddhist treasures, wounded Tongtian and Jieyin, and reflected Zhunti's Divine Light back at him.
• Observers across the Primordial Wilderness mistakenly believed the six Saints were winning because Qingyuan stood motionless while they repeatedly returned to the fight.
• Hongjun summoned the Hunyuan Saints in Zixiao Palace and promised Heavenly Dao recognition, dojos, and Fortune Aura if they helped defend the Primordial Wilderness.
• After the gathered Saints hesitated, Hongjun turned toward the battlefield and ordered them to strike.
