Hong Jun returned to Purple Cloud Palace, resolved to merge with the Heavenly Dao ahead of schedule, and left Jie Yin and Zhun Ti under threat not to surrender their Hongmeng Purple Qi again.

• Hong Jun summoned the Burial Sky Coffin and tried to seal Di Tian for forty-nine days so he would confess that his accusations were lies.
• Di Tian burned the Hunyuan Demonic Fiend Spear’s origin and hurled it at Hong Jun, then escaped through a passage to the Demon Realm as the spear self-destructed.

Di Tian prepared for the coming battle with Hong Jun by directing his allies, pursuing the Earth Book, and appointing Tong Tian as the new chief of the Falling Star Bureau.

As rumors about the Hongmeng Purple Qi spread, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi discussed surrendering it, but Zhen Yuanzi believed Hong Jun’s scheme had already trapped him. He severed his bond with the Earth Book and gave it to Hong Yun for protection, just as Star Court’s cannon fodder stormed into Five Villages View and struck him down.

• Hong Yun asked Zhen Yuanzi whether they should hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi to escape the dangers surrounding them.
• Zhen Yuanzi explained that accepting the Pan Gu Banner had bound him to Hong Jun’s scheme and that he could no longer control his fate.
• Zhen Yuanzi severed his karmic connection to the Earth Book, suffering severe damage to his cultivation, origin, and True Spirit.

• Star Court’s cannon fodder entered Five Villages View after its defenses fell, and their strongest attacker demanded the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• The attacker’s aura overwhelmed the weakened Zhen Yuanzi, making him cough black blood and fall to the early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Surrounded at Five Villages View, Zhen Yuanzi offered the Hongmeng Purple Qi in exchange for Hong Yun’s safe escape, but Di Tian ordered the attackers to pursue them instead. Hong Yun surrendered his possessions near a Star Treasure Pavilion branch, only for a furious voice to interrupt.

• Zhen Yuanzi offered the Hongmeng Purple Qi to the gathered immortals and asked them to spare Hong Yun, but they hesitated over the risks of letting witnesses escape.
• Di Tian ordered his followers to stop pursuing the unclaimed Hongmeng Purple Qi and attack Zhen Yuanzi, planning to seize the Earth Book from Hong Yun.
• Hong Yun carried the badly wounded Zhen Yuanzi toward a nearby Star Treasure Pavilion branch, but the attackers sealed the area and blocked their escape.
• The attackers demanded their possessions and the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Hong Yun handed over his belongings while asking them to let Zhen Yuanzi reach safety first.
• An unknown speaker denounced the attackers for their despicable conduct.

Ancestor Bodhi appeared to save Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, restoring Zhen Yuanzi and driving off the attackers. As the Hongmeng Purple Qi raced toward Hong Yun, Di Tian’s plan to obtain the Earth Book remained unresolved, and the Qi entered Hong Yun’s forehead.

• Ancestor Bodhi arrived and gave Zhen Yuanzi a Five Source Creation Pill, restoring him to his peak condition.
• Ancestor Bodhi rebuked the attackers, revealed his identity, and used his aura to force them to their knees.
• Di Tian had arranged to use a favor to obtain the Earth Book from Hong Yun, avoiding a direct confrontation over the ownerless Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• The attackers began to withdraw, but the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the pursuing experts rushed toward Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.
• Zhen Yuanzi tried to flee with Hong Yun toward the safe zone of Star Treasure Pavilion, but the Hongmeng Purple Qi caught up and plunged into Hong Yun’s forehead.

Di Tian manipulated the threat from the surrounding Innate Sacred and Supremes of Ten Thousand Races to make Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun rely on him for protection. After they escaped into the Star Treasure Pavilion’s safe zone and offered their possessions, Di Tian took the Earth Book and returned the rest, leaving the five pursuers trapped outside.

• Di Tian realized the newly appeared Hongmeng Purple Qi would leave Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun unable to escape, and arranged for the leading cannon fodder to pressure them.
• An azure Innate Sacred threatened Di Tian and demanded that he hand over Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, but Di Tian’s Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage might forced most of the surrounding crowd to their knees.
• Zhen Yuanzi offered all their possessions, including the Pan Gu Banner, in exchange for Di Tian’s protection, and Di Tian pretended to agree to the azure Innate Sacred’s terms.
• Di Tian froze the surrounding heaven and earth with the Great Dao of Time, allowing Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun to flee into the Star Treasure Pavilion’s safe zone.
• Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun gave Di Tian their possessions, including the Earth Book and Pan Gu Banner; Di Tian kept the Earth Book and returned the other treasures.

Di Tian helped Zhen Yuanzi and his companion after taking the Earth Book, then returned to the Nether Blood Sea as Hong Jun struggled to recover his plans. Hou Tu understood her mission and proclaimed that she would establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, with Di Tian offering her supplies as she began.

• Di Tian gave Zhen Yuanzi and his companion healing pills before vanishing, and they knelt to thank him for his help.
• Di Tian reflected that he might have taken Hong Yun under his wing, then returned to the Nether Blood Sea to refine the Earth Book and plan his Earth Dao project.
• Hong Jun discovered the Earth Book was missing and failed to trace it or find any clues about Bodhi Ancestor.
• Hong Jun considered helping Zhen Yuanzi gain Merit through cultivating Earth Veins, but worried that this would not grant him full control of the Earth Path.
• Hou Tu told Di Tian she understood her destined mission, and he urged her not to sacrifice herself by transforming into Reincarnation.
• Hou Tu proclaimed that she would use the Nether Blood Sea and her blood essence to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Di Tian tossed her Pan Gu Jade Marrow and Hunyuan Blood Essence Pills.

Hou Tu used Pan Gu Jade Marrow, her blood essence, and the Pan Gu Orthodox Sect's fortune to summon a Pangu Divine Consciousness, which entrusted her with establishing reincarnation. Taking control of its incomplete body and Heaven Splitting Divine Axe, Hou Tu opened the first three paths and began carving out the remaining three.

• Hou Tu mixed her origin blood essence with Pan Gu Jade Marrow and prayed for Pan Gu's aid, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches sent their blood essence to the Nether Blood Sea.
• The Chaos Bell left Di Tian's Palm World and transformed into an illusory Heaven Splitting Divine Axe as the mixture became a body inhabited by Pangu Divine Consciousness.
• Pangu Divine Consciousness told Hou Tu and Di Tian to manage the Primordial World, then gave Hou Tu its body so she could establish reincarnation.
• Hou Tu took control of the body and opened the Heavenly God Path, Asura Path, and Human Path with three axe strikes.
• Hou Tu opened the Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path with three more strikes, drawing the dead souls toward the forming paths as the Blood Sea's souls were trapped by an invisible pressure.

Hou Tu completed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which sorted wandering souls into rebirth or punishment according to their merit and sins. As the paths stabilized, Hou Tu began preparing to establish the Nether Ghost Realm and Nine Netherworld Underworld, while Di Tian worried about securing authority over the Earth Dao.

• The Six Paths of Reincarnation formed and established limits on the Primordial World's living population and resources.
• All living beings praised Hou Tu, and Heaven and Earth Merit and Earth Dao Yin Virtue gathered around the Six Paths.
• Wandering souls entered the six paths according to their merit and karmic force, from the Heavenly God Path to the Hell Path.
• Hou Tu announced that reincarnation had begun and called wandering souls across the Primordial World to enter the paths.
• Within a few months, the Six Paths drew in all souls without physical bodies and assigned them destinations according to their sins and karmic force.

Hou Tu established the Nether Ghost Realm and Nine Netherworld Underworld, using merit and Yin Virtue to create a home and system of judgment for departed souls. Di Tian considered how the Six Paths could benefit his forces, while Nether River fled after seeing most of his Blood Sea had been claimed.

• Hou Tu used the Heaven Splitting Divine Axe to separate two-thirds of the Blood Sea and form the Nether Ghost Realm for departed souls.
• Hou Tu established the Nine Netherworld Underworld, and its roads, cities, and other structures appeared throughout the Nether Ghost Realm.
• Di Tian realized that his ministers could preserve fragments of their True Spirits in the Six Paths and be reborn to serve Star Court again.
• Nether River emerged from his cave abode, saw that only one-third of the Blood Sea remained, and confronted Di Tian and Hou Tu.
• Nether River apologized, offered Hou Tu the rest of the Blood Sea, and retreated into his cave abode to activate its defenses and cultivate in seclusion.

Nether River retreated to his cave after Hou Tu created the Nine Netherworld Underworld, frustrating Hong Jun’s attempt to use him to gain influence there. Hong Jun turned to developing an Earth Vein Cultivation Method for Zhen Yuanzi, while Hou Tu invited Di Tian to rule the underworld as Fengdu Great Emperor, and he accepted.

• Nether River regretted challenging Hou Tu, sealed his cave, and missed the Hongmeng Purple Qi’s influence on his actions.
• Hong Jun watched Nether River withdraw and realized he could no longer use him to bargain for a position in the Nine Netherworld Underworld.
• Hong Jun decided to develop the Earth Vein Cultivation Method so Zhen Yuanzi could prove the Dao and become a saint.
• Hong Jun worried that Hou Tu’s Pangu Divine Consciousness might mean Pan Gu had not completely died.
• Hou Tu invited Di Tian to govern the Nine Netherworld Underworld as Fengdu Great Emperor, and Di Tian accepted.

After the Nine Netherworld Underworld took shape, Di Tian accepted Yin Virtue and created Fengdu as its Great Emperor. Hou Tu appointed the principal guardians and officials, strengthening them with Yin Virtue as she established the Underworld’s authority before Hong Jun could seize it.

• Di Tian received Yin Virtue, formed the Fengdu Ghost Seal, and created Fengdu from a wisp of his divine soul, naming him Fengdu Great Emperor.
• Fengdu accepted the role and began governing the Nine Netherworld Underworld according to its rules of rewarding good and punishing evil.
• Hou Tu appointed Di Jiang and four other Witch Race leaders as the Five Directional Ghost Emperors, tasking them with guarding the Nether Ghost Realm alongside a million-strong army.
• Hou Tu named ten Witch Race leaders as the Ten Kings of Yama to judge the dead and manage the Underworld’s affairs.
• Hou Tu appointed Xuan Ming as Meng Po, responsible for cleansing souls and guiding them into Reincarnation.
• Hou Tu left other Underworld posts vacant while she secured the main positions against Hong Jun’s attempt to claim Earth Path authority.

Hou Tu told Di Tian that the Witch Race would withdraw from most of its territories to provoke Hong Jun and the Demon Clan Heavenly Court into revealing their strength. Di Tian gave her the Earth Book and asked her to develop Earth Vein cultivation, but a jade pendant shattered and he rushed off on urgent business.

• Di Tian questioned Hou Tu about sending Di Jiang and the other Witches into the Underworld, and Hou Tu explained that she planned to withdraw the Witch Race from the struggle for supremacy outside the territory around Pan Gu Temple.
• Hou Tu said she wanted the Primordial Myriad Races and the Demon Clan Heavenly Court to contest the abandoned territories, encouraging Di Jun, Taiyi, and Kun Peng to prove the Dao of Hunyuan and prompting Hong Jun to act.
• Di Tian approved Hou Tu's plan and gave her Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book, asking her to use it to devise a cultivation path based on Earth Veins and the protection of the land.
• Hou Tu recognized that Di Tian wanted to develop Earth Dao Gods and promised to deduce the cultivation method within a thousand years.
• A jade pendant at Di Tian's waist shattered, and he told Hou Tu to continue without him before hurrying away on urgent business.

Di Tian celebrated the birth of his son, Jun Lin, while the Witch Race began moving to the Nether Blood Sea to build the Nether Ghost Realm and Nine Netherworld Underworld. The shattering of another Jade Pendant alerted Di Tian that Luo Hou had succeeded in taking Bai Hu’s body and fate.

• Hou Tu told Di Jiang and Zhu Jiu Yin that the Witch Race would abandon most of its territory and help build the Nether Ghost Realm and Nine Netherworld Underworld.
• Di Jiang and Zhu Jiu Yin ordered the Witch Race to march toward the Nether Blood Sea.
• Di Tian anxiously waited as Wang Shu gave birth, then held his newborn son, Jun Lin, who called him Daddy.
• Wang Shu told Di Tian to choose Jun Lin’s formal name later, when he reached adulthood.
• A Jade Pendant shattered, signaling to Di Tian that Luo Hou had completed his corruption of Bai Hu and seized his body and fate.
• Wang Shu told Di Tian to handle the urgent matter while she stayed with Jun Lin.

Di Tian secured Wang Shu and Jun Lin’s safety before traveling to the Extreme West Earth Abyss to check on Luo Hou’s successful possession of Bai Hu. After confirming the plan had worked, Di Tian asked Luo Hou to fight one of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court’s leaders and provoke them into rushing their unification of heaven and earth.

• Di Tian left Wang Shu and Jun Lin protected by the Hunyuan Azure Lotus Transformation Spirit Grand Array and gave Jun Lin the Peace Lock as a defensive artifact.
• Di Tian traveled to the Extreme West Earth Abyss and confirmed that Luo Hou had successfully possessed Bai Hu and stabilized at the Half-Step Mixed Origin Great Luo realm.
• Luo Hou awoke, greeted Di Tian, and discussed Hong Jun’s preparations for a final battle.
• Di Tian told Luo Hou that the Witch Race had withdrawn from the struggle and that the Primordial Myriad Races and Demon Clan Heavenly Court now contested the lower realms.
• Di Tian asked Luo Hou, in Bai Hu’s body, to fight Di Jun, Taiyi, or Kun Peng and push them to unify heaven and earth so they could use its fortune to prove the Dao of Hunyuan Great Luo.

Di Tian helped Nuwa identify why her attempts to create life produced mindless puppets, and she successfully created a living being with his guidance. Meanwhile, Luo Hou set out for Buzhou Mountain to confront Hong Jun’s counterfeit.

• Di Tian warned Luo Hou that Di Jun, Taiyi, and Kun Peng had grown powerful, then left him to pursue their plans.
• Luo Hou sent Greedy Wolf and Army Breaker back to Ziwei Emperor Star and headed toward Buzhou Mountain.
• Di Tian summoned Nuwa and learned that her clay creations became flesh but lacked awareness.
• Di Tian explained that essence blood could provide the spirit needed to create life, and Nuwa used a drop of her own essence blood on a clay figure.
• Nuwa’s creation awakened, reached Golden Immortal Perfection, and greeted her as Holy Mother Nuwa.

Nuwa discovered and corrected a flaw in her first human prototype, then created the first humans with Di Tian’s help and proclaimed the Human Race’s arrival. Merit elevated Nuwa to the early Grand Luo of Hunyuan realm, and she used the Innate Gourd Vine to create 1.296 billion more humans.

• Di Tian inspected Nuwa’s first creation and found that its body lacked a male or female nature, so Nuwa reshaped it into a female.
• Nuwa asked Di Tian for a drop of his essence blood, then combined it with her own blood, Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and Three Lights Divine Water to mold three thousand humans.
• After the clay figures endured 3,650 years of tempering, they became living humans, and Nuwa proclaimed the Human Race’s descent to heaven and earth.
• Immeasurable Merit descended, with roughly sixty percent entering Nuwa and raising her to the early Grand Luo of Hunyuan realm.
• Di Tian returned the Innate Gourd Vine, and Nuwa used it to scatter mud that transformed into 1.296 billion Innate Humans.

After Nuwa created the Human Race and became a Saint, Nether River tried to prove the Dao by creating the Asura Race but failed to advance beyond the Sub-Sage realm. Hong Jun intervened to keep him from falling into the Demonic Path, leaving Nether River determined to establish a sect and enlighten living beings.

• Nuwa’s remaining Merit created the Creation Whip and blessed the Innate Human Race, while Di Tian received the largest share.
• Innate Sacred beings and Supremes of Ten Thousand Races discussed the coming struggle among the Three Paths and whether to hide or join Di Tian or Hong Jun.
• Nether River created the Asura Race from Blood Sha demonic qi, the resentments of Myriad Spirits, and the desires of living beings.
• Merit cleansed much of the Nether Blood Sea and strengthened the Asura Race, but Nether River only reached the limit of the Sub-Sage realm.
• Hong Jun used the contingency in the Hongmeng Purple Qi to calm Nether River and plant the idea of establishing a sect in his mind.
• Nether River decided to establish a sect and enlighten living beings, choosing the Heavenly Dao as his path to prove the Dao.
