Chapter Summaries

At Di Jun’s wedding banquet, he tried to draw Laozi and Kunlun into the Heavenly Court’s affairs, but Laozi reaffirmed their detachment. As the guests departed, Su Miao salvaged leftover food for Zhunti, then left the Thirty-Three Heavens with Laozi and Tongtian, who joked about her prank on Tai Yi.

Su Miao spent ten thousand years deepening her cultivation and training with her treasures while the Three Pure Ones helped her grow. Duobao emerged from seclusion as a Golden Immortal and became Tongtian’s Personal Disciple, but the celebration was overshadowed when Red Cloud left Wuzhuang Temple’s protection to confront Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe.

• On Kunlun Mountain, Su Miao learned that Hongyun had died and felt helpless and grief-stricken.

Su Miao recovered her resolve after Hongyun’s death, then received her Masters’ permission to deliver the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to Nuwa at Phoenix Perch Mountain. She set out dressed and protected by Yuanshi, while Laozi suspected Nuwa’s work with Creation could bring further upheaval to the Prehistoric World.

Su Miao arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain and delivered the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to Nuwa. Her thoughts about spirituality and changeable forms inspired Nuwa’s work of Creation, leaving Su Miao worried that her advice might alter the future Human Race.

• Su Miao traveled from Kunlun to Phoenix Perch Mountain, where minor demons fled after recognizing her treasures and Kunlun halo, sometimes leaving her compensation.
• The Azure Bird brought Su Miao to Fuxi and Nuwa, and she presented Nuwa with the Jade Box containing the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

• Nuwa embraced Su Miao’s idea, created visions of varied living forms, and entered a state of enlightenment as Fuxi admired Su Miao’s insight.
• Su Miao watched Nuwa’s strange creations and worried that her advice might cause the future Human Race to become a mutant species.

After Fuxi left for the Heavenly Court, Nuwa began experimenting with creating life from ordinary mud and water, but rejected one flawed creature after another. As she struggled to find the right form and spirit, Su Miao realized that the discarded creations explained the strange races recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and silently urged Nuwa to use the Innate Dao Body as her model.

• Fuxi told Nuwa he had to help establish the Heavenly Court, then asked Su Miao to keep his Martial Uncle company before departing.
• Nuwa took Su Miao to a river valley and began shaping creatures from ordinary mud and water under the Law of Creation.

• Su Miao recognized the discarded creations as the origins of strange races and countries recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
• Nuwa wondered what her creations lacked, while Su Miao silently thought that she should model them after the Innate Dao Body.

While Nuwa struggled to create beings with true spirituality, Su Miao colored Nine Heavens Breathing Soil with Spirit Fruit juices, giving Nuwa a new insight into color as part of creation. Nuwa’s colorful creations remained spiritually lacking, and she continued experimenting as Su Miao made a playful clay portrait of Tongtian.

• Su Miao mixed Spirit Fruit juices and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil with ordinary Spiritual Soil to make five brightly colored lumps of clay.
• Su Miao molded colorful flowers and creatures, and Nuwa awoke and watched her work.
• Nuwa recognized color as part of creation and used the colored clay to make vivid creatures, but they still lacked spirituality.
• Su Miao made a chibi clay portrait of Tongtian, which amused Nuwa.
• Nuwa returned to experimenting with the colorful clay, still seeking the key to creating spiritually stirring life.

Nuwa created the first Human Race member by shaping Divine Mud in her own Dao Body’s image and breathing life into it. With Su Miao’s suggestion to use an ancient gourd-vine branch to scatter the mud, Nuwa rapidly created many more humans.

• After months of unsatisfactory creations, Su Miao urged Nuwa to use her own appearance as a model.
• Nuwa mixed Nine Heavens Breathing Soil with Three Lights Divine Water and shaped a clay figure in her likeness.
• Nuwa breathed Creation Qi into the figure, bringing it to life; it called her “Mother.”
• Nuwa began making more humans by hand but worried that the process was too slow.
• Su Miao gave Nuwa an old gourd-vine branch, and Nuwa used it to scatter Divine Mud that transformed into many living humans.

Nuwa created 129,600 humans at Phoenix Perch Mountain and gained enough Heavenly Merit to become a Saint, while Su Miao received a share of the merit. After naming humanity and announcing that she would enter Chaos to establish a Dao Field, Nuwa turned to Su Miao as she considered the newborn humans’ weakness.

• Nuwa created humans by flinging mud from a vine, while Su Miao mixed Five-Colored Clay into the slurry to add variety to their appearances.
• The number of humans reached 129,600, prompting vast Merit golden clouds to gather above Phoenix Perch Mountain.

• Nuwa named the newborns humans, declared her sainthood, and announced she would enter Chaos to establish a Dao Field.
• Nuwa looked at the weak humans and then turned her gaze toward Su Miao.

After Nuwa created humanity and became a Saint, she left for Chaos and entrusted Su Miao with caring for the 129,600 newborn humans. Overwhelmed by the responsibility, Su Miao decided to contact her Master for help.

• Nuwa told Su Miao that she had to establish a Dao Field in Chaos and asked her to look after the newly created humans.
• Nuwa decreed that no living being could harm the humans for ten thousand years, then departed for Chaos.
• Su Miao realized she had been left alone with 129,600 naked, helpless humans and panicked over how to care for them.
• Su Miao pulled out her Message Jade Talisman, intending to find her Master for help.

Su Miao learned that the Three Pure Ones had left for Chaos and would not help her care for Nuwa’s 129,600 newborn humans. Though overwhelmed, she chose to stay and began organizing them.

• Su Miao put away the Jade Talisman and called for the humans to listen to her instructions.

• Su Miao searched her Chaos Bead for food suitable for the humans and found Jade Nectar Fruit, but worried the supply would not last.

Su Miao organized the newborn Human Race into thirty-six teams and taught them how to find food and build shelters. As the people quickly learned and began innovating, she realized she needed a more systematic plan for teaching them.

• Su Miao appointed Ziyi Clan, Suiren Clan, and the other thirty-four first-formed humans as captains, assigning each one a team of 3,600 people.
• Su Miao taught the captains how to identify edible plants and dig up earth potatoes, then demonstrated how to build a thatched shelter.

• Su Miao considered letting the Human Race come into contact with the most basic things.

Su Miao realized the Human Race’s Innate Dao Bodies could master cultivation more readily than primitive survival skills, so she taught them how to cultivate and use basic Five Elements spells.
