Chapter Summaries

Qingyuan visited Wang Shu in the Moon Palace, where they caught up on their lives and the Primordial Wilderness’s changes. Back at Golden Ao Island, he devised a plan to use an immersive game on the Primordial Wilderness Internet to transfer living beings’ consciousness and True Spirits into the Myriad Worlds without alerting Hongjun or damaging the Primordial Wilderness.

• Qingyuan passed unnoticed through the Heavenly Gate and visited Wang Shu in the Moon Palace, where they exchanged greetings and discussed her recovery and the Internet’s growth.
• Wang Shu told Qingyuan how Immortals, the Jade Emperor, Spirit Mountain, and the Underworld Bureau were using the Internet and its forums.
• Qingyuan left Wang Shu and returned to Golden Ao Island, where he considered how to deal with Hongjun and the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao without destroying the world.
• Qingyuan realized he could use the Primordial Wilderness Internet to connect living beings’ consciousness and True Spirits to the Myriad Worlds through an immersive cultivation game.
• Qingyuan planned to promote the game gradually through Interception Sect, allowing the Primordial Wilderness’s living beings to establish roots in the New World before Hongjun noticed.

Qingyuan began merging the Three Thousand Realms into the One True Realm, using the Chaos Pearl as its core. He opened the Chaos Pearl’s primordial world with repeated axe strikes, and the chapter ended with a new Heaven and Earth taking shape.

• Qingyuan told Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Xi He that he planned to merge the Myriad Worlds into the One True Realm, and they returned to guard the Sun Star, Moon Star, and Yin-Yang bond.
• Qingyuan awakened the Chaos Pearl and drew the laws of the Three Thousand Realms together, making the pearl the heart of the forming world.
• Qingyuan entered the Chaos Pearl’s primordial void, summoned the Thirty-Six-Rank Chaos Green Lotus, and formed a world-opening axe from fragments of several treasures.
• Qingyuan struck Chaos with the axe, splitting it and separating clear qi into Heaven and turbid qi into Earth.
• Qingyuan anchored the unstable new world with three thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures and used himself to suppress its Earth Veins as he continued opening Heaven and Earth.
• Qingyuan’s final strike drove away the remaining Chaos, leaving an azure sky with phantom celestial bodies above a vast land of mountains, rivers, and oceans.

Qingyuan transformed the New Primordial Wilderness from a barren realm into a living world by spreading Chaos Demon God essence blood and merging three thousand worlds, their Laws, and their treasures into it. He became a mountain at the realm’s center to steady it, while Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Xi He were alerted by the upheaval.

• Qingyuan scattered the remaining Chaos Demon God essence blood across the New Primordial Wilderness, causing plants, springs, fish, and Spiritual Veins to emerge.
• Qingyuan fused three thousand worlds into the realm, adding their Great Dao Laws and Innate Spiritual Treasures as its foundation.
• The New Primordial Wilderness developed a complete web of Laws, stable Spiritual Veins, new stars, mountains, oceans, and naturally arising creatures.
• Qingyuan enlarged his presence to span the realm and sat at its center, using his body and Fortune Aura to stabilize the sky, earth, and Laws.
• As years passed, Qingyuan’s body became a towering mountain while his will continued to guard the realm, and Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Xi He were alerted to the upheaval.

Qingyuan turned the New Primordial Wilderness into a virtual reality game called Great Flood, intending to bind players’ True Spirits to its Laws and eventually transfer the Primordial Wilderness’s living beings without alerting Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao. The game’s popularity spread through the Internet, and the chapter ended as Wandering Taoist reported that cultivating a technique inside it seemed to work in reality.

• Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Xi He saw Qingyuan stabilize the New Primordial Wilderness and obeyed his order to guard its Sun Star.
• Qingyuan returned to Golden Ao Island and devised a plan to move living beings into the New World through consciousness projection and a game.
• Qingyuan linked the New Primordial Wilderness’s Laws to the Primordial Wilderness Internet and launched Great Flood with a login space, adjustable pain, resurrection, and cultivation feedback.
• Rogue cultivator Qingsongzi posted about Great Flood’s realism, drawing players who explored its vast world and began building, fighting, and recruiting their factions.
• Great Flood’s player count grew rapidly, and Wandering Taoist posted that circulating a technique in the game seemed to let him cultivate.

Cultivators discovered that Great Flood let them safely develop techniques and comprehend laws, with their gains carrying back to reality, and its user base surged to hundreds of billions. Qingyuan watched the game spread across the Primordial Wilderness as players and major powers made it their own, until they discovered the towering mountain at the world’s center.

• Wandering Taoist reported that he broke through a cultivation bottleneck in Great Flood and retained his insights after logging out, prompting cultivators across the Primordial Wilderness to test techniques in the game.
• An anonymous Grand Unity Golden Immortal posted that Great Flood contained complete, real laws whose insights synchronized with reality, causing registrations to surge and drawing in the Heavenly Court, Spirit Mountain, and other powers.
• Qingyuan watched Great Flood surpass five billion registered users as players explored the vast world, formed sects, ambushed one another, and built underground palaces and battle arenas.
• Qingyuan offered existing players a strand of law for each person they recruited, and the campaign helped push registrations past eight hundred billion and daily active users to one hundred billion.
• The Twenty-Eight Star Lords, Spirit Mountain’s five hundred Arhats, and Bull Head and Horse Face established groups and activities in the game, while King Yama considered expanding the Underworld Bureau’s fighting arena.
• Players discovered a towering mountain standing at the center of Great Flood.

Players discovered an immense mountain at the center of the New Primordial Wilderness, where climbing exposed them to powerful Dao Resonance that accelerated cultivation. As great powers broke through and tried to climb higher, the clouds above the mountain began gathering into a thunderstorm.

• An independent explorer found the mountain at the world's center and posted a video that drew players from across the Primordial Wilderness.
• Players discovered that Dao Resonance grew denser with altitude, allowing them to cultivate rapidly, while mounting pressure stopped those whose cultivation was too weak.
• Tathagata Buddha Patriarch, the Jade Emperor, Guangchengzi, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, and Sect Master Minghe secretly climbed and cultivated on the mountain, then broke through and continued upward.
• The great powers recognized that the mountain resembled the legendary Buzhou Mountain, but invisible pressure blocked their ascent and thwarted their efforts to push higher.
• The clouds above the mountain began rotating and thickening as lightning gathered into a thunderstorm that made the mountain tremble.

A mysterious Great Flood swept every online player from the Divine Mountain, destroying the game world and sending more than a hundred billion players to the Resurrection Space. Qingyuan revealed that the flood had secretly connected their consciousnesses to the New Primordial Wilderness’s Three Thousand Great Dao Laws and left True Spirit Imprints, while hidden treasures and a greater test awaited discovery.

• A dark-gray Great Flood surged down the Divine Mountain, tearing players’ Primordial Spirits from their bodies and defeating their attempts to fly, teleport, or resist it.
• The flood spread across the world, destroying player settlements and killing every player who was online; the survivors reappeared in the Resurrection Space and flooded the forums with complaints.
• The official account posted an automated notice that the Great Flood was not over, and players who logged in to investigate were swept away as well.
• Eye of the Deep Sea reported that he had sensed a glowing presence and a network of Laws beneath the flood, but his post went unnoticed amid the forum uproar.
• Qingyuan examined the backend data and saw that more than three hundred billion living beings had left True Spirit Imprints in the New Primordial Wilderness after contacting its Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
• Qingyuan revealed that he had concealed Law Fragments, ancient Divine Ability remnants, and Houtian Spiritual Treasures in the flood, then watched the East Sea to see who would discover its secret first.

After the first Great Flood wiped out players’ possessions, they returned to scavenge the changed world and Qingyuan announced that solving the flood’s mystery would earn a destiny-changing reward. After 1.8 million years in the game, another flood struck without warning, killing every player and blocking them from logging in.

• The first flood erased players’ inventories, sects, and accumulated progress, but many logged back in and found valuable fragments and resources scattered across the land.
• Seven days after the flood receded, Qingyuan announced that the flood concealed a mystery whose first solver would receive a gift from the New Primordial Wilderness World Origin that could synchronize with reality.
• Players argued over the announcement, searched the world, and eventually raised a stele forbidding anyone from climbing beyond one hundred thousand zhang.
• Over 1.8 million in-game years, native species spread and players built flood defenses, including dikes, arks, and a Floating City.
• A second flood poured through cracks above the Divine Mountains, destroyed the defenses, and killed all 800 billion players, who were then barred from logging in.

After five Great Floods killed the players and left the Divine Mountain’s summit unreachable, they continued searching for the promised secret. After the fifth flood receded, The Shipbuilder proposed using a ship to ride the rising waters to the summit.

• The second Great Flood drowned eight hundred billion players, prompting widespread complaints and renewed interest in the pinned announcement promising a secret and reward.
• Players returned to the game for its cultivation advantages and treasures, and expedition teams searched the world for the Great Flood’s secret.
• An expedition team deciphered runes on the Divine Mountain that said to climb to the summit to learn the truth, drawing players to the mountain.
• Players cultivated and tried to climb the Divine Mountain, but its increasing pressure kept them from reaching the summit before the third, fourth, and fifth floods arrived.
• After the fifth flood receded, The Shipbuilder posted that a large enough ship could ride the rising floodwaters up to the Divine Mountain’s summit.

Players rallied to build ships that could rise with the Great Flood, while Hongjun summoned five Heavenly Dao Saints to discuss the game and its suspected creator, Qingyuan. Hongjun then led the Saints to enter Great Flood themselves and investigate its secret.

• The Shipbuilder proposed sealing ships and riding the rising flood, prompting players and alliances across the continents to organize shipbuilding efforts.
• Players split among shipbuilders, Divine Mountain climbers, sightseers, and scavengers as Great Flood's player base grew beyond a trillion.
• Hongjun summoned Taishang Laojun, Venerable Yuanshi, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti to Zixiao Palace and asked about Great Flood.
• Zhunti and Taishang Laojun described the game's realism, cultivation benefits, and recurring world-destroying floods, while the Saints silently suspected Qingyuan had created it.
• Hongjun invited the five Saints to enter the game with him and investigate its secret, and they agreed before returning to their Dojos to register accounts.

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.
