• Long Ling suspected Haotian intended to recruit the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon, and she, Luo Lian, and Zi Luo looked to Ancestor Hongjun for an explanation.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon defeated the Demon Ancestor Dragon’s True Spirit, then used the Heavenly Dao’s judgment to try to sever his karma and escape the consequences of his sins. The chapter ended with the heavenly blade destroying most of his primordial spirit, leaving his survival uncertain.

• The Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon overcame the Demon Ancestor Dragon’s True Spirit and refused to absorb its foreign primordial spirit power.

• The Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon forged a blade from the Demon Ancestor Dragon’s primordial spirit and the Heavenly Dao’s will, then struck himself with it.
• The blade annihilated eighty percent of the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon’s primordial spirit, leaving the rest near collapse.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon survived the Heavenly Dao’s judgment but lost most of his strength and became an innate water dragon.

• The Heavenly Blade struck the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon again, cutting away most of his origin spirit and extinguishing his fire-source aura.

• Haotian accepted the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon’s oath, made him master of Yunmeng Marsh, and granted him temporary authority as Northern Great Emperor.
• Long Ling and Luo Qing discussed the appointment as part of Ancestor Hongjun’s plans to balance Hua Tian Peak’s influence over the Heavenly Court.
• Taihua, Xuan Nü, Holy Mother Zi Guang, and the other Quasi-Sages executed the remaining eight demonic Quasi-Sages while Luo Tian, Luo Yao, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Gongming fought the demon army’s Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

After the Crimson Heavenly Court fell, Haotian spared White Brow and assigned him to serve the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon for ten million years. The Heavenly Court took control of the Northern Domain, but the calamity left its land, population, and cultivation environment devastated.

• The Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon and Haotian wiped out the remaining demons and monsters, ending the Heaven and Earth Calamity and destroying the Crimson Heavenly Court.
• White Brow surrendered, and Haotian spared his life by ordering him to assist the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon for ten million years.
• The Heavenly Court took over the Crimson Heavenly Court's territory and suppressed forces that resisted its rule.
• The Heavenly Court's army spent ten thousand years subduing the Northern Domain and exterminating its remaining demonic threats.
• Haotian returned to Buzhou Mountain and left Kong Xuan and the Great Crimson Heavenly Dragon in charge of the Northern Domain.
• The Northern Domain's population, waterways, fortune, and cultivation environment had suffered severe decline, leaving its recovery difficult.

After the Northern Domain calamity, Luo Qing told his disciples that Haotian would likely remain Heavenly Emperor for ten more Kalpa Cycles and sensed that the Innate Era was nearing its end. Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones agreed to relocate their Dao Fields, with the Eastern Domain remaining as their only suitable choice.

• Ten thousand years after the Northern Domain calamity, Luo Qing hosted a welcome banquet for his returning disciples and subordinate deities.
• Long Ling asked Luo Qing when Haotian would pass on the Heavenly Throne, and Luo Qing estimated that it would happen in ten Kalpa Cycles, after the Northern Domain was subdued and the Northern Great Emperor returned to the Quasi-Sage Realm.
• Luo Qing sensed the Innate Era beginning to decline and decided to start his plan involving Luo Lian and Zi Luo, whom he had chosen to spread Incense Fire faith.
• At Jade Void Mountain, Yuanshi urged Laozi and Sect Master Tongtian to prepare to relocate their Dao Fields, and Tongtian agreed.
• The Three Pure Ones ruled out the Northern Domain and the regions where they risked entanglement with the Human Race, leaving the Eastern Domain as their only option.

Laozi agreed to serve as the Heavenly Court’s Western Great Emperor while the Three Pure Ones finalized Jade Void Mountain’s relocation to the Eastern Region. Luo Qing prepared for the move and planned to turn Jade Void Mountain’s former site into a place where Kunlun Mountain immortals could share the Dao.

• Laozi explained that he would oversee the Heavenly Court as the Western Great Emperor to broaden his cultivation of the Hunyuan Realm, leaving Yuanshi and Tongtian puzzled.
• The Three Pure Ones’ decision to move Jade Void Mountain in a thousand years spread through Kunlun Mountain, where immortals worried about the mountain’s future status and whether to relocate.
• Luo Qing told Long Ling that Yuanshi and the others would take Jade Void Mountain and any willing Kunlun Mountain immortals to the Eastern Region, and that he was preparing for the move’s effects on the earth veins and Yin-Yang energies.
• Luo Qing suggested that Long Ling establish a cultivation Dao Field, but she insisted that she wanted to remain with him.
• Luo Qing proposed building a Flat Mountain, Dharma Transmission Dao Field, and Preaching Platforms on Jade Void Mountain’s former site for Kunlun Mountain’s immortals and gods.

Long Ling delivered Luo Qing’s three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure lotuses to Jade Void Mountain as the Three Pure Ones prepared to move to the Eastern Region. After Jade Void Mountain departed, Long Ling stabilized Kunlun Mountain’s Yang Vein and built Asking Dao Peak, while Luo Qing continued teaching Luo Lian and Zi Luo.

• Luo Qing gave Long Ling three matching Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure lotuses to present to the Three Pure Ones as a housewarming gift.
• A thousand years later, Long Ling delivered the lotuses to Jade Void Mountain, easing the Three Teachings’ resentment over leaving Kunlun Mountain.
• The Three Pure Ones and more than one hundred thousand Kunlun Mountain Rogue Cultivators moved Jade Void Mountain to the Eastern Region, leaving a massive pit behind.
• Long Ling used a branch of the Five-Colored Divine Mountain’s earth vein to stabilize Kunlun Mountain’s Yang Vein and built a new mountain named Asking Dao Peak.
• Luo Qing questioned Luo Lian and Zi Luo about the Mandala Heart Sutra, then taught them further knowledge as Long Ling studied alongside them.

Luo Qing taught Luo Lian, Zi Luo, and Long Ling about the Mandala System and showed them how mortal worship produced mind divine light resembling him. He explained that the Mandala could regulate these varied projections into unified faith, then left his disciples to study the power themselves.

• Luo Qing explained that the Mandala System drew on the Chaos Supreme Great Dao and could gather living beings under a single Mandala Lord.
• Luo Qing taught Luo Lian and Zi Luo the Mandala System so they could understand its faith structure.
• Luo Qing showed his disciples a wisp of mind divine light created by the Hua Tian World’s mortal worship, surprising Luo Lian and Zi Luo.
• Luo Qing explained that mortals could produce mind divine light more readily than powerful immortals and gave a wisp to each disciple to study.
• Luo Qing observed that worship across the Hua Tian World produced diverse projections of him and said the Mandala framework could unify them into faith and incense power.

Luo Qing taught Luo Lian and Zi Luo how to combine Mind Divine Light with Mandala, then withdrew into a mortal state to design a faith system for gathering worship. He established the Fire Ancestor Cult as a rigid, two-level monotheistic system centered solely on himself.

• Luo Lian recognized that Luo Qing intended to promote common people's remembrance and worship, and he explained that Mandala would unify their Mind Divine Light.
• Luo Qing instructed his disciples to study how Mandala could combine with Mind Divine Light while he prepared to spread Incense Fire in the Hua Tian World.
• Luo Qing isolated himself from the Heavenly Dao, sealed his Dao Fruits, dispersed his Dharma Power, and contemplated a Mind Divine Light seed as a mortal.
• Luo Qing created three aspects of the Fire Virtue Ancestral God: a neutral true self, a compassionate good self, and an evil self.
• Luo Qing named his religion the Fire Ancestor Cult and designed it with only himself as its supreme deity and believers beneath him.
• Luo Qing made Luo Lian and Zi Luo future administrators rather than chief priests, accepting that his two-level system could not expand its pantheon or adapt.

Luo Qing awakened the Fire Ancestor Divine Being through the newly established Fire Ancestor Cult and set limits on how it could answer believers’ prayers. Decades later, he inspected the Mandalas made by Luo Lian, Zi Luo, and Long Ling, warning them to keep their creations secret because their destruction could harm them.

• The Fire Ancestor Cult gathered the Hua Tian Human Race’s faith and awakened a weak but rapidly growing Fire Ancestor Divine Being within Luo Qing’s statue.
• Luo Qing instructed the Divine Being to grant one wish only after gathering enough faith to fulfill ten, then concealed its statue within the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.
• Several decades later, Luo Qing met Luo Lian, Zi Luo, and Long Ling and saw that each had made a Mandala and a statue modeled after herself.
• Luo Qing collapsed the three Mandalas and warned his disciples not to let them spread, since the destruction of a Mandala Lord could trigger a backlash against its god lord.

Luo Qing warned Long Ling, Luo Lian, and Zi Luo about the dangers of relying on faith, then appointed Luo Lian and Zi Luo as attendants of the Fire Ancestor Divine Being and charged them with spreading the Fire Ancestor Cult. They descended to the lower realms to begin their trial, while Luo Qing told Long Ling to focus on attaining sainthood.

• Luo Qing warned his three disciples that faith could expose divine lords to Karma Curse Kills and should not replace their own cultivation.
• Luo Qing appointed Luo Lian and Zi Luo as Fire Ancestor Boys and Attendant Daoists, and Mandala marks bound them to the Fire Ancestor Cult.
• Luo Qing instructed Luo Lian and Zi Luo to protect and spread the Fire Ancestor Cult among the mortal people of the Hua Tian Universe.
• Luo Lian and Zi Luo accepted their mission and descended to the lower realms to preach.
• Long Ling questioned whether taciturn Zi Luo was suited to preaching and offered to take his place, but Luo Qing told her to focus on attaining sainthood.

Luo Lian and Zi Luo spread Fire Ancestor Shrines across the Hua Tian Human Race, but their efforts stalled as mortal worship and support from Immortal Gods proved difficult to secure. Meanwhile, the Kirin Clan reappeared in the Eastern Region under Jade Void Mountain’s protection, drawing attention to the ancient clans and their uncertain future.

• Luo Lian and Zi Luo used their standing to establish Fire Ancestor Shrines across more than eighty percent of the Hua Tian Human Race’s regions, eventually reaching every settlement.
• The Human Race gradually accepted Fire Virtue Ancestral God as the Fire Ancestor, but few mortals became believers, and Immortal Gods grew unwilling to help without rewards.
• Luo Qing watched his disciples struggle to promote the Fire Ancestor Cult and left them to face the challenge without his guidance.
• Jade Void Mountain settled in the Eastern Region, and Kirin Cliff reappeared in Kirin Mountain Range with the help of Yuanshi and two other Sages.
• The three Sages removed the remnants of the Kirin Progenitor’s Heavenly Dao Oath, allowing the Kirin Clan to return after vanishing for countless years.
• The Primordial Immortal Gods learned that fewer than a thousand pure-blooded Kirins remained, and the clan’s return under Jade Void Mountain greatly increased the mountain’s prestige.

Jade Void Mountain and the Kirin Clan strengthened the Chan and Jie Teachings’ influence in the Eastern Region, while the Dragon Race faced pressure from the expanding Eastern Sea cultivators. Water Spirit Holy Mother sought Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang’s help to promote a Cosmic World, and Long Ling welcomed the invitation.

• Yuanshi Saint brought the Kirin Clan to Jade Void Mountain to rebuild it and boost the mountain’s standing in the Eastern Region.
• Jade Void Mountain’s arrival drove some Immortal Gods toward the Eastern Sea, where Rogue Cultivators expanded into Dragon Race territory as the recovering Dragon Race avoided conflict.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother, now revered as Dragon Mother after Ancestor Dragon was erased from the Dragon Race’s history, told Azure Dragon to deliver letters to Long Ling and Zi Guang.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother planned to join Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang in promoting the Dragon Race’s Great Thousand World into a Cosmic World so she could attain Sainthood.
• The Chan and Jie Teachings recruited Eastern Region cultivators, increasing their influence and drawing nearly one hundred thousand registered Immortal Gods to Jade Void Mountain.
• Azure Dragon delivered Water Spirit Holy Mother’s letter to Long Ling at Kunlun Mountain, and Long Ling’s eyes lit up after reading the invitation.

Water Spirit Holy Mother invited Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang to help the Dragon Race promote a Great Thousand World into a Cosmic World and protect it from rivals seeking Primordial Violet Qi. The three reached the East Sea Dragon Palace and negotiated mutual aid, but Long Ling’s demand to use the origins of Canghai Sea and the Star Sea to refine a Divine Treasure left the other two hesitant.

• Water Spirit Holy Mother invited Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang to the Dragon Palace, seeking their help to protect the Dragon Race during its world’s promotion.
• Long Ling decided to help after considering the invitation, while Holy Mother Zi Guang saw the alliance as a way to secure future aid for promoting a Cosmic World of her own.
• Five hundred years later, Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace and recognized that Water Spirit Holy Mother had advanced farther toward Sainthood.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother agreed that the Dragon Race would help Holy Mother Zi Guang promote a Cosmic World in the future, regardless of the outcome of its own attempt.
• Long Ling offered to help both lineages obtain Primordial Violet Qi in exchange for using the origins of Canghai Sea and the Star Sea to refine a Divine Treasure, leaving Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang troubled.

Long Ling secured Canghai Origin and Star Sea Origin from Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang to refine the Qian Kun Position Chart, while Luo Qing approved of her plan. A thousand years later, the Dragon Race began ascending its Great Thousand World to a Cosmic World, drawing attention—and covetous interest—from across the Primordial Wilderness.

• Long Ling persuaded Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang to lend their origins for refining the Qian Kun Position Chart, and the three goddesses made a contract.
• Luo Qing learned of Long Ling's plan to expand the chart to encompass Canghai Sea and the Starry Sky, and he supported her pursuit.
• After a thousand years of preparation, Water Spirit Holy Mother began ascending the Dragon Race's Great Thousand World, with Long Ling and Holy Mother Zi Guang assisting.
• Long Ling used the Qian Kun Position Chart to stabilize the ascending world as the three Quasi-Sages infused it with Dharma Power.
• The ascension's immense energy and auspicious signs spread news across the Primordial Wilderness, stirring Quasi-Sages' desire for the Dragon Race's Cosmic World and its Primordial Violet Qi.

As the Dragon Race's world neared completion of its ascension, Quasi-Sages and invading forces gathered in the Eastern Sea, waiting for the Primordial Violet Qi to appear. Long Ling took over the final stage of the ascension while Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang withdrew to recover and prepare to defend against the attackers.

• The Saints chose not to intervene in the Dragon Race's ascension, leaving the Dragon Race to face the tribulation on its own.
• Quasi-Sages and immortals and gods flocked to the Eastern Sea, hoping to seize the Primordial Violet Qi or exploit the conflict to plunder the Dragon Race.
• The Dragon Race assembled more than a hundred million Water Tribe members and prepared defenses to protect the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
• Nearly a hundred years passed as the ascension neared completion and organized Dao Soldier armies gathered outside the Dragon Race's defenses.
• Long Ling told Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang to withdraw from the Qian Kun Position Chart and recover while she completed the world's ascension.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother and Holy Mother Zi Guang began restoring their strength, preparing to confront the Quasi-Sages once the Primordial Violet Qi appeared.

Luo Qing planned to lower the barriers to creating Small Worlds so the Kunlun Immortals and Gods could help expand the Hua Tian Human Race. Meanwhile, Long Ling completed a Cosmic World in the East Sea, prompting thirteen Quasi-Sages to attack the Dragon Race and seize the Primordial Violet Qi.

• Luo Qing considered using Kunlun Mountain’s millions of Immortals and Gods to develop Small Worlds and grow the Hua Tian Human Race by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
• Luo Qing studied the Cave Heaven Treasure Pearl and more than a thousand treasures modeled on it, seeking a way to make Small World development accessible to weaker cultivators.
• Long Ling completed a Cosmic World in the East Sea, and the resulting auspicious signs revealed the Primordial Violet Qi.
• Thirteen Late and Peak Quasi-Sages charged toward the East Sea Dragon Palace, hoping to take the Qi while Water Spirit Holy Mother was weakened.
• Luo Qing ordered the Dragon Race to activate its formations and army formation as the Quasi-Sages agreed to attack together.
