• Di Tian wondered how the first Lord of Ziwei Star could have died despite his formidable treasures and authority.

After a Yuanhui of seclusion, Di Tian took humanoid form and declared himself the rightful ruler of the Primordial Wilderness. Hong Jun and Luo Hou arrived at the Ziwei Emperor Star to invite him to join their campaign against Beast Emperor Shen Ni, while Hong Jun secretly resolved to eliminate him.

• Di Tian recalled that Hong Jun, Luo Hou, and others had taken part in the scheme that killed his previous incarnation, and resolved to avoid them until he grew stronger.
• After a Yuanhui passed, Di Tian transformed into human form and declared himself the destined ruler of the Primordial Wilderness, triggering immense celestial omens.

• After a thousand years of cultivating, Di Tian reached the Great Luo Middle Stage and sensed danger through the Taiyin Star Authority, spotting Hong Jun and Luo Hou persuading a beautiful woman.

Wang Shu rejected Hong Jun and Luo Hou’s attempt to recruit her after Di Tian warned her they meant to seize her treasures and origin. She visited Di Tian to thank him, and the two began building an alliance over Moon Laurel Wine while Hong Jun and Luo Hou sought help elsewhere.

• Hong Jun and Luo Hou asked Wang Shu to join their campaign against Shen Ni, but Di Tian secretly warned her that they were swindlers who wanted her treasures and origin.

• After confirming Hong Jun and Luo Hou had departed, Wang Shu traveled to the Ziwei Emperor Star to thank Di Tian.
• Wang Shu and Di Tian discussed their intentions and shared Moon Laurel Wine while discussing the Dao.
• Hong Jun and Luo Hou failed to recruit Di Tian and Wang Shu, so they sought out Yang Mei and Shi Chen.

Hong Jun and Luo Hou recruited Yang Mei and Shi Chen to join the campaign against Shen Ni, then met their allies outside Beast Emperor Mountain and launched an all-out war against the Ferocious Beast Clan. As the clan suffered devastating losses, Shen Ni took up the God Slaying Spear and challenged his enemies to face him directly.

• Yang Mei and Shi Chen demanded shares of the Merit for helping defeat Shen Ni, and Hong Jun and Luo Hou agreed to give them fifteen percent each if they killed him, or ten percent otherwise.
• After swearing a Great Dao oath, the four left Buzhou Mountain and traveled to Beast Emperor Mountain, where they met the Three Ancestors and the other recruited allies.
• The Three Ancestors ordered their clans and subordinate races to wage all-out war against the Ferocious Beast Clan, spreading battles across the Primordial World.
• A subordinate reported that the Ferocious Beast Clan had lost more than half its members and that unknown Daoists had defeated Qiongqi's forces.
• Shen Ni killed the reporting subordinate, took up the God Slaying Spear, and challenged his enemies to come kill him themselves.

Hong Jun and the gathered powers used the All Heavens Celebration Cloud to expose Shen Ni to Heaven and Earth Thunder Punishment before he could break through into Hunyuan Grand Luo. Shen Ni was killed, the God Slaying Spear went to Luo Hou, and the Ferocious Beast Clan lost its threat to the Primordial World.

• Yuan Feng, Ancestor Dragon, and Ancestor Qilin attacked Shen Ni, who fought them while his aura and fiendish qi grew stronger.
• Luo Hou warned Hong Jun that Shen Ni was close to breaking through, and Hong Jun led the others out of hiding to attack him.

• Hong Jun and Luo Hou delivered the final attack, killing Shen Ni's remnant soul, and Luo Hou claimed the God Slaying Spear.

After the Ferocious Beast Calamity ended, Heaven and Earth distributed merit that advanced many cultivators and intensified the rivalry between Hong Jun and Luo Hou. On Ziwei Emperor Star, Di Tian reflected on his choice to stay out of the war and invited Wang Shu to travel the lower realm.

• Yuan Feng, Ancestor Qilin, and Ancestor Dragon received the largest share of merit and advanced to the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage, while many other cultivators broke through as well.
• Shi Chen and Yang Mei collected the merit Hong Jun and Luo Hou owed them, then advanced further; Yin Yang and the other Demon God Reincarnations also absorbed their merit and left in regret.
• Hong Jun and Luo Hou realized they would become enemies in a Dao Struggle, and Luo Hou prepared his Four Swords of Zhuxian while Hong Jun departed.
• Heaven and Earth used part of the remaining merit to restore the Primordial Land and distributed the rest among those who eliminated the surviving Ferocious Beasts.
• Di Tian reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage while Wang Shu advanced to the Late Stage, and he invited her to travel the lower realm in search of opportunities.

Di Tian forged Wang Shu a powerful Moon Laurel Sword and prepared millions of Star Burst Grenades before the pair left the Ziwei Emperor Star to explore the recovering Primordial World. After choosing the North Sea as their destination, they found little until Wang Shu spotted what appeared to be an Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array.

• Di Tian used Wang Shu's sealed Moon Laurel Tree branch to forge her an upper-grade postnatal spiritual treasure, the Moon Laurel Sword.
• Di Tian refined 58,970,000 Star Burst Grenades and prepared a large supply of Three Lights Divine Water as contingencies.
• Di Tian sealed the Star Protecting Grand Formation and traveled with Wang Shu from the Extraterritorial Starry Sky to the Primordial Land.
• Di Tian chose the North Sea because it was relatively peaceful and its opportunities were less likely to have been plundered.
• Di Tian and Wang Shu searched the North Sea for several hundred years, finding little until Wang Shu spotted an Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array on a distant island.

Di Tian and Wang Shu discovered and claimed the Five Needle Pine after breaking its Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array, then continued through the North Sea. Their journey ended when Di Tian noticed a racial war between the Innate Ancestral Bear and the Innate Ancestral Lion and wondered why it had begun so soon after the Ferocious Beast Calamity.

• Wang Shu spotted the Five Needle Pine hidden on an island, and she and Di Tian recognized its valuable five-element pine nuts.
• Wang Shu identified five shifting nodes in the protective array, and Di Tian struck them with the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to break the formation.
• Di Tian collected the Five Needle Pine and its grand array into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, then considered how the array might empower the Five Direction Flags.
• Di Tian and Wang Shu left the island and traveled together through the North Sea for another hundred years.
• Di Tian noticed a racial war sparked by the Innate Ancestral Bear and the Innate Ancestral Lion and questioned why it had erupted less than ten thousand years after the Ferocious Beast Calamity.

Di Tian discovered that many wars among the Ten Thousand Races began because different races could not understand one another, and he recalled how Kun Peng would later create Demon Script to solve the problem. He realized he could create writing first and become the Originator of the Literary Path, potentially earning pure Heaven and Earth Merit.

• Di Tian and Wang Shu observed the Innate Ancestral Bear and Innate Ancestral Lion clans slaughtering each other and questioned why the war had begun.
• Di Tian questioned Xiong Gang and Shi Zong and learned their clans had gone to war after their descendants misunderstood each other's speech and gestures.

• Over the next several thousand years, Di Tian encountered many racial wars caused by communication failures and identified them as a root of conflict among the Ten Thousand Races.
• Di Tian recalled that Kun Peng would create Demon Script to unite the demons and earn Merit, and he realized he could create writing first and claim the Literary Path's Merit.

Di Tian and Wang Shu traveled the Primordial World for thirty-six thousand five hundred years, collecting written inheritances from 129,597 races for Di Tian’s planned written tradition. With only the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races left before the One Yuan Number was complete, Di Tian prepared to trade Five Needle Pine nuts for their inheritances.

• Di Tian explained why he sought Heaven and Earth Merit rather than Heavenly Dao Merit, then decided to gather the written foundations of countless races.
• Di Tian summoned Wang Shu and traveled across the Primordial World, collecting written inheritances from 129,597 races in exchange for sermons.
• Wang Shu said that digesting three Five Needle Pine nuts had taken over thirty thousand years and brought her combat strength to the peak of the Great Luo Later Stage.
• Di Tian said he was still tempering his Five Chest Qi with Five Needle Pine nuts and needed tens of thousands of years to complete it.
• Di Tian identified the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races as the final three sources of written inheritances and planned to trade them pine nuts.
• Wang Shu worried the three races might demand the Five Needle Pine itself, and Di Tian warned he would retaliate if they tried to take it.

Di Tian and Wang Shu visited the Dragon, Qilin, and Phoenix Races to obtain their written inheritances for Di Tian’s Script Creation Enterprise. Yuan Feng welcomed them warmly and offered Di Tian a place as the Phoenix Race’s emperor, but Di Tian realized she wanted him to marry into her family and warned her against seeking dominion through slaughter.

• Di Tian and Wang Shu reached the East Sea and exchanged Five Elements Pine Nuts for a copy of the Dragon Seal from Ao Qing, who warned Di Tian not to invite ruin.

• Di Tian offered Yuan Feng Five Elements Pine Nuts and requested the Phoenix Script, but Yuan Feng declined the gifts and boasted that she would lead the Phoenix Race to rule the world.
• Yuan Feng offered Di Tian the Phoenix Race’s position as emperor if he joined them, and Di Tian realized she wanted him to marry into her family.
• Di Tian warned Yuan Feng that the time to rule the world had not come and that excessive slaughter would erode the Phoenix Race’s fortune.

Yuan Feng heeded Di Tian’s warning and changed the Phoenix Clan’s expansion plans, while Di Tian and Wang Shu spent over a hundred thousand years creating Spirit Characters for all living beings. After completing their script, Di Tian forged four Acquired Treasures to serve as its brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

• Di Tian warned Yuan Feng that renewed wars and expansion could bring Heavenly retribution, and Yuan Feng grew afraid that she might doom the Phoenix Race.
• Yuan Feng summoned the Phoenix Clan Elders and ordered them to curb expansion, preserve peaceful relations, and reduce killing while they observed the Dragon Race and Qilin Race.
• Di Tian and Wang Shu secluded themselves to study the races’ scripts and combine their strongest features into a universal Literary Dao heritage.
• After 129,869 years, Di Tian and Wang Shu completed 133,650 Spirit Characters that could connect Innate and Acquired Lifeforms and transmit divine abilities and Dao methods.
• Di Tian refined spiritual materials for three thousand years and produced the Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, Starry Pen, and Spiritual Text Scroll.

Di Tian created Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script to unite the written inheritances of the Primordial World’s races, earning a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Merit. He distributed the Merit among himself, his writing tools, Wang Shu, and the Phoenix Race, while his achievement alarmed Hong Jun and Luo Hou.

• Di Tian proclaimed that he had gathered and studied the races’ written inheritances, then created Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script and introduced the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone as writing tools.
• Heaven and Earth responded with auspicious signs, and the grateful races praised Di Tian as a vast Merit Ocean descended upon him.
• Luo Hou and Hong Jun were shocked by Di Tian’s Merit, while Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Qilin regretted not helping him after learning why he had collected written inheritances.
• Di Tian condensed half the Merit into Merit Golden Light and directed another thirty percent to his Four Treasures of the Study, turning the Spiritual Text Scroll into an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure and the other three into Top-Grade Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasures.
• Wang Shu and Yuan Feng condensed their shares into Merit Golden Light, while the Phoenix Race’s portion left Yuan Feng with only a small, baby-fist-sized glow.

Di Tian received four powerful Literary Dao merit treasures after becoming the Myriad Races Saint Teacher, then discovered Baleful Qi and Karmic Force in Yuan Feng’s fortune. Yuan Feng entrusted him with her Phoenix Eggs and asked him to protect and guide her children, and Di Tian accepted.

• Di Tian refined the Spiritual Text Scroll, Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, and Starry Pen, which could gather fortune and turn creations into reality.
• Di Tian noticed Baleful Qi and Karmic Force in Yuan Feng’s fortune and decided to leave, while warning her to avoid slaughter and sin.
• Yuan Feng gave Di Tian thirty percent of her Li Fire Source, four drops of Blood Essence, and one drop of Heart Blood Essence, asking him to protect her two Phoenix Eggs and pass her message to them.
• Yuan Feng explained that her Five Elements and Yin and Yang Sources had transformed with her Nirvana Fire to create two Phoenix Eggs.
• Di Tian accepted Yuan Feng’s request and recognized her unborn sons as Kong Xuan and the Golden Winged Da Peng.

Di Tian and Wang Shu reached Buzhou Mountain and began climbing to temper their bodies beneath Pan Gu’s lingering pressure. Wang Shu stopped in the middle section to train while Di Tian continued alone, where his bloodline stirred as he approached the upper half.

• After leaving Yuan Feng, Di Tian refined her Li Fire and comprehended the Phoenix Race’s Southern Blazing Fire and Undying Nirvana abilities while traveling toward Buzhou Mountain.
• Di Tian and Wang Shu toured the mountain range together before reaching Buzhou Mountain’s central peak, where Di Tian urged Wang Shu to strengthen her body.
• The two climbed until Wang Shu could no longer keep pace, so she stayed in the middle section to train while Di Tian left her Ten Million Star Bursting Grenades for protection.
• Di Tian climbed alone to the boundary of Buzhou Mountain’s upper half, where his bloodline stirred as if something were calling him forward.

Di Tian climbed Buzhou Mountain toward the opportunity stirring his bloodline, believing it might be the Thirty-Six-Grade Creation Green Lotus. He slipped through the seemingly harmless Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array and entered a cave, unaware that the formation had just awakened behind him.

• Di Tian endured Buzhou Mountain’s pressure for over fifteen thousand years, reaching the Great Luo Peak Realm in physical cultivation while climbing toward the bloodline-stirring opportunity.
• Di Tian discovered that the treasure was protected by the Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array, which he believed he could not break.
• Di Tian covered himself with his treasures and Merit Golden Wheel, then tested the formation with assorted objects, his Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, and his hand.
• Di Tian concluded that the formation was harmless and entered it, then stepped into a naturally formed cave in the rock wall.
• The formation activated after Di Tian entered the cave, and its Laws and void storms reduced the objects he had left outside to ash.

Di Tian discovered Pan Gu Jade Marrow, Pan Gu’s Heart Blood Essence, the Chaos Pearl, and a fragment of the Jade Tablet of Creation in the cave. He spent two Eons refining the Heart Blood Essence, advancing his cultivation and comprehending the Law of Force, then uncovered further powers within it.

• Di Tian realized the cave’s alluring blood scent came from Pan Gu’s remnants and found the Heart Blood Essence and Pan Gu Jade Marrow in a vast karst cave.
• Di Tian discovered the Chaos Pearl and a fragment of the Jade Tablet of Creation, then stored both in his Palm World.
• Di Tian found he could collect the Pan Gu Jade Marrow but could not move the Heart Blood Essence, so he informed Wang Shu that his return would be delayed and began refining it.
• Di Tian refined the Heart Blood Essence for two Eons, reaching Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection and sixty-five percent comprehension of the Law of Force.
• Di Tian discovered that the Heart Blood Essence contained other powers reaching the Origin of Heaven and Earth.

Di Tian discovered four supreme Divine Dao inheritances in the Heart Blood Essence and refined part of the Chaos Pearl. After studying a Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment, he gained a far clearer perception of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao.

• Di Tian found inheritances for Alchemy, Artifact Forging, Array Formation, and Talismans in the Heart Blood Essence and realized how crude his earlier treasure-making had been.
• Di Tian sent Wang Shu a message through the Taiyin Star Authority, telling her he needed more time and that she should cultivate without worrying about him.
• Di Tian spent an entire One Yuanhui refining one-tenth of the Chaos Pearl's restrictions, then placed the pearl in his sea of consciousness.
• Di Tian examined the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment and discovered that it reflected numerous Great Daos, including Force, Time, Space, Destruction, Stars, Creation, and Yin Yang.
• Di Tian drew the fragment into his sea of consciousness and found that it made the Great Dao Laws, spiritual energy, and the auras of all things in Heaven and Earth far clearer.

Di Tian returned from the formation cave with the Chaos Pearl having absorbed the Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array, then continued down Buzhou Mountain with Wang Shu. The Black Lotus of Extinction led him to an unbloomed Creation Azure Lotus, and Di Tian moved its entire basin into the Chaos Pearl so it could be nurtured there.

• Di Tian left the cave after gaining the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment’s benefits, deciding to return to the Extraterritorial Starry Sky and cultivate before the Three Races Calamity.

• Di Tian reunited with Wang Shu and descended Buzhou Mountain with her, taking three thousand years to reach the boundary of its middle and upper sections.
• The Black Lotus of Extinction led Di Tian and Wang Shu to an Innate Creation Grand Formation, which Di Tian broke with the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

• Di Tian ordered the Black Lotus of Extinction to tend to the Creation Azure Lotus within the Chaos Pearl and left the emptied cavern.
