• A strange phenomenon appeared in the distant sky, silencing the furious Three Pure Ones.

• Heavenly Dao merit descended, allowing Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fuxi, and Nuwa to advance to the Mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm while Kunpeng resented his share and rank.

• The Myriad Stars Array strengthened the Yao Race and suppressed the Witch Clan, leaving many Great Witches dead or wounded as Di Jun threatened to destroy the clan.
• Dijiang escaped the fighting, called the other Ancestral Witches to his side, and formed the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Array.
• The Witch Clan array’s killing power turned the battle into a war of attrition, with both sides losing warriors at a terrible rate.
• Laozi, Primordial, and Tongtian felt their primordial spirits tremble at the sight of the Witch Clan array, and Tongtian wondered whether it was because the Three Pure Ones shared the Witch Clan’s origin.

• As Pangu’s True Body raised his axe against Di Jun, the Heavenly Dao appeared in Hongjun’s form and froze the giant in place.

After the Witch-Demon War ended under Hongjun’s decree, East King Duke healed the Ancestral Witches and cleared Buzhou Mountain of Malevolent Qi before answering Hongjun’s summons. Ten thousand years later, Nuwa sensed a Saint Opportunity in the East Sea and set out to seek it, where she encountered East King Duke.

• Nuwa encountered East King Duke on the East Sea Shore just as she was about to head to Mount Fang Island.

After consulting with Nuwa, East King Duke guided her toward using the Dao of Creation to find her path to sainthood. Nuwa discovered a way to create life but had not yet succeeded in making a stable new race.

• East King Duke concluded that helping Hongjun escape the Heavenly Dao was feasible and continued cultivating with Hongjun's Enlightenment Jade Plate.
• Nuwa visited East King Duke to seek guidance after sensing a Saint Opportunity but failing to understand it.
• East King Duke discussed the Dao of Creation with Nuwa and urged her to create and transform something.
• After a thousand years of contemplation, Nuwa created a Heavenly Immortal from a boulder but realized it still belonged to the demon race.
• Nuwa shaped clay into East King Duke's likeness and infused it with the Power of Creation, but the figures crumbled when they touched the ground.

Nuwa used East King Duke’s gifts and guidance to create the human race, then gained immense merit and became a Saint. As she and East King Duke spoke on the East Sea Shore, they sensed another great force approaching.

• East King Duke gave Nuwa Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and she used them to create living beings.
• Nuwa created both male and female humans, then used the Gourd Vine to make hundreds of thousands more and named them the human race.
• Nuwa declared the human race established, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit on Nuwa, the Gourd Vine, the humans, and East King Duke.
• The merit transformed the Gourd Vine into the Beating Man Whip and helped Nuwa become a Saint, while East King Duke’s understanding of the Yin-Yang Law deepened.
• Nuwa and East King Duke congratulated each other, then sensed an immense force descending from the horizon.

After Nuwa became a Saint, Hongjun ordered her to establish a Dao Field beyond the heavens and stay out of Primordial World conflicts, so she entrusted the newborn Human Race to East King Duke as their Saint Teacher. News of her ascension unsettled the Demon and Witch Races and left the Three Pure Ones humiliated as the chapter ended with Tongtian reacting to her achievement.

• Hongjun arrived over the East Sea, congratulated Nuwa on becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, and ordered her to avoid the Primordial World's conflicts.
• Nuwa asked East King Duke to protect the Human Race and teach them the Great Dao; he accepted and received three-tenths of their Destiny.
• Nuwa named East King Duke the Human Race's Saint Teacher, then accepted Colorful Phoenix as her disciple and bestowed on her the name Golden Phoenix.
• News of Nuwa's ascension spread, making Fuxi rejoice, leaving Di Jun uneasy, and alarming the Ancestral Witches until Hongjun forbade Saints from intervening in worldly conflicts.
• Laozi and the other Three Pure Ones felt humiliated that Nuwa had become a Saint before them, and Tongtian was the first to comment on her achievement.

After Nuwa became a Saint, she learned that the Heavenly Dao barred Saints from intervening in the Yao-Witch conflict and went to establish her sanctuary in the Chaos. East King Duke guarded the growing human race, whose three leaders earned Heavenly Dao merit by inventing fire, houses, and clothing.

• Nuwa visited the Heavenly Court, reassured Di Jun that she remained part of the Yao Clan, and warned Fuxi that she could not aid the clan against the Witch Clan.
• Nuwa left for the Chaos, while East King Duke moved the humans to a valley near the East Sea and taught them basic cultivation methods.
• Over the next hundred years, the humans cultivated and multiplied, while East King Duke secretly watched over them.
• Suirenshi devised Drilling Wood to Make Fire, earning merit, reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and creating the Merit Supreme Treasure Kindling.
• Youchaoshi built the first human house and Ziyishi made the first clothing; both earned merit and reached the Taiyi realm, and the people revered all three as the Three Ancestors of the Human Race.

Minghe created the Asura Clan in hopes of earning the merit to become a Saint, but received far too little to advance his cultivation. Ten thousand years later, Nuwa gathered the Primordial World's great powers in Chaos to open her Dao Field, and East King Duke's arrival revealed the respect she held for him.

• Minghe created the Asura Clan from the Sea of Blood and its Malevolent Qi, then received only a fraction of the merit Nuwa had gained.
• Minghe remained a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint, while Di Jun and Tai Yi abandoned the idea of imitating Nuwa's creation of a race.
• East King Duke recognized that Nuwa's Heavenly Mandate, Dao of Creation, Primordial Violet Qi, and humanity's destiny had made her success impossible to replicate.
• Ten thousand years later, Nuwa and Fuxi prepared to open her Dao Field in Chaos as cultivators and fellow disciples arrived to pay their respects.
• Nuwa waited for East King Duke, then greeted him with notable courtesy when he arrived beside Queen Mother of the West.
