Chapter Summaries

Ling Xiao gained insight from Pangu’s Law of Strength and realized that reaching the Great Dao Realm required creating his own Dao. His Law of Strength advanced to Primordial Taiji, and he survived Pangu’s seventh Heaven-Opening Style by comprehending the eighth and forcing Pangu to stagger backward.

• Ling Xiao studied the laws within Pangu’s Law of Strength and concluded that transcendence required creating a unique Dao rather than only cultivating existing laws.
• Ling Xiao’s Crystal Divine Kingdoms expanded, and his sixth Dao Seed formed as the Law of Strength broke through to Primordial Taiji.
• Ling Xiao advanced to the Second Heaven of Primordial Taiji, while Houtu wondered why Pangu had paused instead of attacking him.
• Pangu unleashed the seventh Heaven-Opening Style, and Ling Xiao countered with the same move but was blasted backward and injured.
• As Pangu prepared a potentially fatal strike, Ling Xiao comprehended the eighth Heaven-Opening Style and struck Pangu, making him stagger backward.

Houtu sacrificed the Six Paths of Reincarnation and much of the Primordial World's origin to empower Pangu, but the fusion of the Earthly Dao and Human Path awakened an evil will inside her. Ling Xiao tried to seal it, but the will broke free and appeared in an Innate Dao Body.

• Pangu was forced backward by Ling Xiao, shocking the Witch Clan and other powerful beings.
• Houtu sent the Six Paths of Reincarnation and a vast amount of the Primordial World's origin into Pangu Temple to empower Pangu's resurrection.

• The evil will emerged above Houtu as an Innate Dao Body and began polluting the world.

A terrifying evil will descended on the Primordial World and attacked Ling Xiao, then offered to make him a son of the Great Dao. Ling Xiao refused and claimed the system’s Chaos Supreme Treasure reward as the evil will struck back.

• The evil will drove countless beings in the Primordial World mad, while Nuwa, the Two Western Sages, Duke of the East, Haotian, and the Demon Gods struggled under its pressure.
• The evil will summoned Great Dao divine lightning against Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao blocked it with Heaven and Earth Without Dao and refined the lightning into his body.
• The evil will took the form of a white-haired man and offered Ling Xiao fortune if he submitted and became a son of the Great Dao.
• The system offered Ling Xiao a Hongmeng Spiritual Root for submitting or a Chaos Supreme Treasure for refusing, and Ling Xiao chose to refuse.
• Ling Xiao mocked the white-haired man, who pressed him with an overwhelming force, so Ling Xiao claimed the Chaos Supreme Treasure and a bell-shaped treasure began to appear.

Ling Xiao used the Eternal Bell to briefly freeze the evil will, then confronted the white-haired man while Houtu learned that the supposed guidance to resurrect Pangu had been a lie. The man rejected Ling Xiao’s theory about his origins, and Ling Xiao asked whether he came from the True Realm.

• Ling Xiao summoned the Eternal Bell, froze the white-haired man for a moment, and attacked him with the eighth form of Heaven-Opening.

As all beings faced certain death, Ling Xiao used the Grand Fate Art to halt their decay and the Law of World to repair heaven and earth, drawing the white-haired man’s amused attention.

• The World-Destroying Millstone blotted out the sky, and the sun, Lunar Star, stars, and lands began to fall apart as the laws of heaven and earth decayed.
• The Five Decays of Heaven and Man drained living beings of their life force and magical power, while the Sages and other mighty figures despaired.

• The white-haired man watched Ling Xiao’s intervention with an amused smile and remarked on his use of fate to reverse the Fate River.

• Changxi reminded Ling Xiao of their unfulfilled agreement and asked him to escape and live if the world could not be saved.

• The white-haired man realized the millstone was gone and roared at Ling Xiao, demanding to know where it had gone.

Ling Xiao struggled to contain the World-Destroying Millstone while the white-haired man attacked, until Pangu emerged from Mount Buzhou and challenged him. As Pangu began to lose ground, Ling Xiao threw him the Chaos Bell, Pangu Banner, and Taiji Diagram.

• Ling Xiao claimed the Great Dao had taken the World-Destroying Millstone, while the Chaos Bead strained to contain it and Ao Qing fled from the destruction inside it.
• The white-haired man struck the Eternal Bell and pierced Ling Xiao's chest, but Ling Xiao regenerated and fought back with the Eye of Divine Punishment.
• The white-haired man unleashed Obliterate the Great Void, but a sigh froze his attack as Pangu Temple burst from Mount Buzhou and Pangu appeared.
• Pangu confronted the white-haired man and fought him with a Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, but his spirit form gradually weakened.
• Ling Xiao summoned the Chaos Bell, Pangu Banner, and Taiji Diagram and hurled them toward Pangu.

Pangu battled the white-haired man with Ling Xiao’s help and the power of several Chaos Supreme Treasures. As the weakened combatants drew in the surviving mighty figures, Ling Xiao unleashed the Heaven-Opening Ninth Form.

• Pangu used the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell to reclaim the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe and fight the white-haired man.
• Ling Xiao sent the Chaos Green Lotus and Eternal Bell to Pangu, who wielded them alongside the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe to grievously injure his opponent.

• Ling Xiao, Houtu, Di Jun, Yuanfeng, and other mighty figures joined the fight as both Pangu and the white-haired man weakened.
• The white-haired man destroyed millions of living beings, and Ling Xiao summoned the Heavenly Dao and Chaos World’s power to unleash the Heaven-Opening Ninth Form.

Ling Xiao and Pangu defeated the white-haired man’s attempt to destroy the Primordial World, but Pangu perished alongside him. Before fading, the man revealed his name as Wan Gu Qianqiu—Wan Qianqiu, seized Xi He and Changxi, and lured Ling Xiao toward a black hole, where Pangu stopped him.

• Ling Xiao and Pangu overwhelmed the white-haired man with their attacks, but he began gathering power to destroy the Primordial World in a self-destruction.
• Pangu gave Ling Xiao his magic treasures and rushed the white-haired man, sacrificing himself to stop the catastrophe; both returned only as fading spirits.
• The white-haired man warned that stronger beings would soon descend, while Pangu asked what he had come to find in the Primordial World.
• The white-haired man unleashed a force from the black hole that seized Xi He and Changxi, then revealed his name as Wan Gu Qianqiu, or Wan Qianqiu.
• Ling Xiao attacked the black hand and charged toward the black hole, but Pangu used his remaining strength to stop him from being drawn into a trap.

Ling Xiao learned that Wan Qianqiu’s apparent death was likely the destruction of a clone, and that he had once sought a mysterious seed. Ling Xiao wondered whether the seed was connected to his system and asked it directly.

• Ling Xiao watched the black hand vanish and nearly lost control, but Pangu warned him that Wan Qianqiu had planted a flaw in his Dao heart.
• Ling Xiao accepted Pangu’s warning and asked whether Wan Qianqiu’s apparent death had been the destruction of a clone.
• Pangu explained that Wan Qianqiu had come searching for something during the Heaven-Opening Catastrophe and that the two had fought after Wan Qianqiu believed Pangu possessed it.
• Pangu revealed that the object Wan Qianqiu sought was a seed, though he did not know its details.
• Ling Xiao wondered whether the seed was his system and asked the system if it was that seed.

As Pangu warned that powerful beings from the True Realm might come after his death, Yaochi and countless others fled through the passage, followed by Zhurong, Xuanming, Tai Yi, and Di Jun. Pangu restored the Six Paths of Reincarnation before fading away, leaving Ling Xiao with a cryptic instruction to visit the Nine Realms Ruins if he entered the True Realm.

• Yaochi claimed she would go undercover in the True Realm, then rushed into the passage to escape the Primordial World.
• Seeing Yaochi leave and hearing Pangu permit anyone to go, tens of thousands of immortals and gods poured into the black hole.
• Zhurong, Xuanming, and the remaining Witch Clan asked Pangu for permission to follow Houtu, and Pangu let them leave.

• As Pangu faded, he told Ling Xiao to visit the Nine Realms Ruins if he entered the True Realm, prompting Ling Xiao to ask whether Pangu had come from the Origin True Realm.

After the battle, Ling Xiao restored the Primordial World and reshaped its Heavenly Dao, then announced new paths to Sagehood and rules for strengthening the world. The survivors celebrated their newfound opportunities as they looked toward the road ahead.

• The surviving powerhouses rejoiced at the new opportunities, and some declared their intent to prove the Dao first.

After the Heavenly Dao opened new paths to cultivation, the Primordial World’s remaining experts considered how to advance. Fuxi founded the Shouyang Sect and became a Sage through the merit his vow earned, while Ling Xiao watched from a mysterious space.

• Qiangliang argued that he, Xingtian, and Houyi had been wise to stay in the Primordial World, and he declared the Witch Clan’s grudge with Ling Xiao settled.

• Fuxi founded the Shouyang Sect, vowed to teach all living beings, and received enough Heavenly Dao Merit to become a Sage.
• Ling Xiao watched Fuxi’s ascension from a mysterious space and regarded it as a reward for daring to act first.

Ling Xiao’s plan to spur competition by creating countless sects brought merit and rapid cultivation breakthroughs across the Primordial World. After Ao Zhan became the second Heavenly Dao Sage, Zhulong revealed his plan to spread a Dragon Clan body-tempering technique.

• Zhulong put his plan into action, and the Heavenly Dao answered with boundless merit.

Zhulong became a Sage, while Ling Xiao discovered the Chaos Holy Spirit Fruit Tree and accelerated its growth. He learned that powerful beings from the Origin True Realm would invade in one hundred thousand years and chose to defend the Primordial World with a Heavenly Dao-grade formation.

• Ling Xiao chose to remain and fight, receiving the Ten Extremes Dao of the Primordial World formation.

Ling Xiao warned the Primordial World that the Origin True Realm would attack in a hundred thousand years and offered Holy Spirit Fruits to spur its experts to grow stronger. After the Three Xiao Sisters, Holy Mother Jin Ling, and Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit accepted the fruits, Yun Xiao and Bi Xiao broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

• Ling Xiao announced through the Heavenly Dao that experts from the Origin True Realm would arrive in a hundred thousand years, prompting fear and defiance across the Primordial World.

• The five women ate the fruits in public and began refining them as Ling Xiao and the experts watched.
• Yun Xiao broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and Bi Xiao followed soon after.

Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Holy Mother Jin Ling advanced to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals after consuming Holy Spirit Fruits, while Qiong Xiao and Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit reached the pinnacle of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal. Ling Xiao then gave Qiangliang a fruit, and after he proved the Dao, appointed him to command the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Nether Hell.

• Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Holy Mother Jin Ling broke through to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, while Qiong Xiao and Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit made major progress but fell short.
• The watching powerful figures hurried away to cultivate so they could qualify for Holy Spirit Fruits.
• Ling Xiao encouraged the five women and sent them off to continue cultivating.

• Ling Xiao traced Yang Jian’s origins and learned that Yao Ji had left him and Yang Zicheng after departing for the True Realm.
• Ling Xiao suspected the Great Dao had influenced Yang Jian’s birth and noted that Sun Wukong would likely never appear without the Sky-Mending Stone.
