Xu Xing was trapped by the Four Ancestors and focused his burning attacks on Tai, while Gu secretly prepared to seize Tai’s Original Intent.

• Su Po reflected on the Human Race’s Dao Attainments, while Heaven realized that Sword Ancestor was the tribulation blocking his attempt to obtain the Fruit of Creation.

After a thousand years of war and failed breakthroughs, Hua attained Dao and became the Human Race’s fifth Dao Attainer, allowing the Human Race to surpass the Cang Race. The Human Dao Attainers renamed themselves True Immortals and gained the upper hand in renewed fighting, while Tai began probing Gu’s motives and reconsidered using the Taixuan Authority.

• After Yuanjun exposed Heaven as Heavenly Will, Heaven reclaimed part of his authority and granted the Cang Race Heaven’s favor, binding its continued existence to the Great Profound Realm.

The Human Race’s thirteen True Immortals prepared to extract the Great Profound Realm’s Heavenly Will while the Cang Race braced for defeat. Their plan triggered the War of Chasing Cang, as the Heavenly Will was drawn out and the two races entered a catastrophic battle.

• Xu Xing and Bie Xuening returned to their old bamboo dwelling, then learned that Heaven had bestowed Heaven’s Favor on the Cang Race.
• Over five thousand years, You, Min, and Confusion attained the Dao, completing the thirteen Human Race True Immortals; the two sides then prepared for a final battle.

• The War of Chasing Cang began, and Yuanjun annihilated nearly one-tenth of the Cang Race as both sides were transported to the battlefield.

The Human Race True Immortals drew Heavenly Will out of the Great Profound Realm, weakening Heaven until Gu used the First Epoch’s annihilation aura to preserve him. Gu then tried to turn the Second Epoch’s destruction into a chance to seize the Taixuan Authority and kill Tai, but Tai escaped the trap and was gravely wounded; his warning to Xuan was cut off.

• The Human Race True Immortals fought the Four Ancestors of the Cang Race as the Heaven-Capturing Cauldrons drew Heavenly Will out of the Great Profound Realm.

• Tai warned Xuan to beware of Heaven, but the Taixuan Authority erased the part of his transmission concerning Gu.

Gu failed to seize Taixuan’s Original Intent but imprisoned her, while Xuan escaped with most of the Cang Race after the Human Race’s victory in the War of Chasing Cang. In the aftermath, the Six Great Immortal Sects were founded, and the chapter named the eras that followed Remote Antiquity and High Antiquity.

• Gu tried to take Taixuan’s Original Intent, but she dissolved into silver light before he captured her, so he used the Taixuan Authority to chain and imprison her.
• Gu joined with the past and began creating a new world, while Xuan fought off the immortals and escaped toward the Starry Sky with the remaining Cang Race after the Heaven-Capturing Cauldrons began to crack.

After returning from the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield, Xu Xing discovered that the Central Continent had descended into corruption and that his disciple Wen Ya had enabled her son Geng Heng’s atrocities. He killed Geng Heng, stripped Wen Ya of her cultivation, and launched a devastating purge across the Central Continent, leaving Confusion grievously wounded.

• Over tens of thousands of years, the Star Domain Guardians’ absence allowed the six Immortal Sects and demonic cultivators to exploit ordinary people while the Central Continent fell into chaos.
• After Xu Xing became strong enough to enter the Far Side of the Starry Sky, Xuan withdrew from the battlefield, allowing Xu Xing to return to the Sword Sect.
• Lin Ji warned Wen Ya that Xu Xing was returning, and Wen Ya told Geng Heng to behave, unaware that he was using an infant’s heart and blood to forge a sword.
• Xu Xing arrived and found Geng Heng’s atrocities in progress; he nearly killed Geng Heng, condemned Wen Ya, and left her cultivation weaker than that of a Qi Refiner.
• Xu Xing told Jing Hai that the Sword Sect as it stood was wrong, then swept through the Central Continent, killing demonic cultivators and attacking the major sects and all six Immortal Sects.
