Ye Wudao reached the Human Emperor Hall in the Immortal Realm of ten thousand years ago and encountered an old guardian who could perceive him across the River of Time. After learning that Di Xin had died and Ye Wudao’s ancestor had become the new Human Emperor, the guardian asked why Ye Wudao had come.

• The old man asked who had sent Ye Wudao from the future and what he hoped to learn in the Human Emperor Hall.

Ye Wudao learned that the Human Emperor Guardian was Fuxi, who had stayed behind to protect the Human Race and could stabilize his journey through the River of Time. Fuxi sent Ye Wudao to investigate the failing Heavenly Dao, while warning that he could not prevent the approaching calamity.

• Ye Wudao told the Human Emperor Guardian that Yujing had sent him back to investigate the Heavenly Dao and the coming destruction of the Immortal Realm.
• Yujing contacted Ye Wudao and said he could no longer sustain the journey, so the Guardian used his power to stabilize the River of Time.
• The Guardian revealed that he was Fuxi, the first Human Emperor and the Human Race Protector, and Ye Wudao told Yujing he could withdraw his energy.
• Fuxi listened to Ye Wudao's account of the future and explained that the Saints had left because the Heavenly Dao would not allow them to remain.
• Fuxi said he could not stop the Outer Realm Celestial Demons and revealed that his remaining true spirit might last only another year or two.
• Fuxi sent Ye Wudao to find the Heavenly Dao, which he suspected was in poor condition.

Ye Wudao entered the Heavenly Dao’s space and discovered that Heavenly Demon Qi had suppressed it while an outsider threatened to devour the world. After the Heavenly Dao sent him back to Fuxi, Fuxi explained that the Myriad Worlds Academy might be the world’s only hope and left Ye Wudao to choose his path.

• Fuxi activated the Nine Cauldrons, opening a golden staircase for Ye Wudao to approach the Heavenly Dao.
• Ye Wudao found the Heavenly Dao bound by Heavenly Demon Qi and learned that an outsider was attacking it across the River of Time.

• Ye Wudao told Fuxi what he had witnessed, and Fuxi confirmed that an outsider was trying to devour their world.
• Fuxi explained that the Myriad Worlds Academy selected geniuses but that nearly all participants in its last test had died, then told Ye Wudao he could either seek the Academy or try to leave the world.

Fuxi explained to Ye Wudao the true origins of humanity, Pangu’s world, and the Heavenly Dao, revealing that Hongjun manipulated the Three Pure Ones into becoming it. He answered Ye Wudao’s questions about the Human Emperors before vanishing, leaving Ye Wudao to consider his own future path.

• Ye Wudao asked whether Nuwa created humanity, and Fuxi explained that humans had existed since the world’s creation and that Nuwa gave early humans immortal bodies and taught them cultivation.
• Fuxi revealed that Pangu opened the world but did not become its mountains and rivers, and that his three strands of Primordial Spirit power became the Three Pure Ones.
• Fuxi explained that Hongjun tried to seize control of the world’s laws, forcing the Three Pure Ones to unite as the Heavenly Dao, which then eliminated threats to its rule.
• Ye Wudao asked about the Human Emperors and the absent statue of Di Xin, and Fuxi said only nine great Human Emperors were enshrined and that he was the only one still in this world.
• Fuxi told Ye Wudao that the Human Emperor ten thousand years later would probably lack a guardian but would be protected by powerful humans, then urged Ye Wudao to choose his own path before vanishing.

Ye Wudao returned from the River of Time with Fuxi’s warning that the Heavenly Dao was entangled with a powerful Outer Realm Celestial Demon and that Myriad Worlds Academy was the only way to break the deadlock. Despite Yujing’s fears and doubts about the academy’s trials, Ye Wudao remained determined to summon it and try.

• Ye Wudao insisted that he wanted to enter Myriad Worlds Academy to help the Human Race and learn what lay beyond their world.

Yujing revived his sealed son by pouring his bloodline power into him and drawing his soul back from the Reincarnation Realm. The infant awakened with a Primordial bloodline, and Ye Wudao suspected that the suppressed Heavenly Dao would soon bring chaos to the world.

• Yujing revealed that his son had been sealed since the end of the Primordial World era, and that the seal had trapped the boy’s soul in the Reincarnation Realm.
• Yujing poured his bloodline power into the membrane while purple energy from the Reincarnation Realm restored his son’s soul and life.
• Little Golden Dragon recognized the infant’s bloodline as Primordial and warned that the Heavenly Dao would normally erase such a powerful bloodline.
• Ye Wudao told Little Golden Dragon that the Heavenly Dao had been suppressed and kept that knowledge from spreading.
• Ye Wudao reflected that other Primordial World survivors might emerge if they learned of the suppression, and warned that the world was nearing chaos.

Yujing transferred his bloodline power, welcomed his newborn son Yujian, and arranged for him to pledge himself to Ye Wudao as both servant and disciple. After Ye Wudao promised to protect Yujian, Yujing disappeared, leaving his son in Ye Wudao’s care.

• Yujing told Ye Wudao that the bloodline transfer had worked and asked him to care for his son before the last of his strength faded.

• Yujian swore allegiance to Ye Wudao, and Ye Wudao promised to protect him as a disciple rather than treat him as a servant.
• Yujing urged Yujian to follow Ye Wudao and cultivate before disappearing into specks of dust, while Yujian cried out for his father.

• Ye Wudao learned that Wang Zijian had mastered the Kunlun Abode and that Third Master had left to search for his kidnapped daughter.

Ye Wudao spent the past half year cultivating, forging a Star Array, and advancing his plans while the danger to Blue Star appeared settled. The chapter ends with him discovering that the spatial rift on Sea City Beach has begun to heal.

• Over the next half year, Ye Wudao advanced his cultivation and comprehended more than two thousand Great Dao Powers in the Myriad Dao Bell.
• Qin Tianlong informed Ye Wudao that the spatial rift was healing, and Ye Wudao rushed to Sea City Beach to confirm it.

Ye Wudao and Wang Jian investigated why the spatial rifts between Blue Star and the Trial Grounds were slowly healing and discovered a mysterious force acting only on Blue Star’s side. They suspected Blue Star was being targeted, but could not identify the force before the chapter ended.

• Qin Tianlong told Ye Wudao that the Demon Slayer Guard had found every spatial rift on Blue Star shrinking, while a Spirit Realm ancestor had failed to explain the cause.
• Ye Wudao sensed that a strange force was slowly healing the rifts, but he could neither stop it nor determine its source.
• Wang Jian arrived with Azure Sect members and explained that the rifts should heal quickly if the spaces separated, making their slow recovery unusual.
• Ye Wudao told Wang Jian about meeting Fuxi and Black Tortoise and said he could travel between Blue Star and the Spirit Realm even if the rifts closed.
• An old spatial expert reported that a mysterious force was present only in the Blue Star portions of the rifts, and Ye Wudao confirmed the finding.
• Ye Wudao and Wang Jian considered whether the Spirit Realm’s seal was responsible, but Wang Jian said the seal had no consciousness and could not target Blue Star.

Ye Wudao discovered that a colossal mountain had blocked the sun and confronted Yu Feng, the Sect Master of the Heavy Mountain Sect, who had arrived seeking passage to the Spirit Realm. Yu Feng revealed that his sect had joined Ghost Fearer’s All-Encompassing Sect, leaving Ye Wudao with a letter from Ghost Fearer to deliver.

• Yu Feng explained that his sect had joined Ghost Fearer’s All-Encompassing Sect and gave Ye Wudao a letter from Ghost Fearer.

Yu Feng explained how the Heavy Mountain Sect had survived for a thousand years without spiritual energy and asked to take his people to Ye Wudao’s Spirit Realm fragment. He revealed that Ghost Fearer had traded a recommendation for their treasure, Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains, and promised to seek Ye Wudao’s approval for their journey to the Immortal Realm.

• Yu Feng told Ye Wudao that he had merged his depleted Spirit Realm fragment into a mountain and brought its people to the Mortal Realm.
• Ye Wudao accepted Ghost Fearer’s recommendation and told Wang Jian to take Yu Feng and his people to the Spirit Realm, while he investigated the spatial Rift on Blue Star.
• Yu Feng summoned the Heavy Mountain Sect, whose people emerged weak and depleted after a thousand years without spiritual energy.
• Yu Feng explained that Ghost Fearer had promised to recommend the sect for the Spirit Realm and help him seek passage to the Immortal Realm in exchange for Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains.
• Ye Wudao questioned Yu Feng’s decision to hand over the treasure and realized that Ghost Fearer had used the Immortal Realm possibility to secure it and the sect’s affiliation.

Yu Feng offered Ye Wudao the green crystal in exchange for a place on the journey to the Immortal Realm, and Ye Wudao agreed to take him and his people. After studying the rapidly closing spatial rift, Ye Wudao discovered the crystal was consuming Spirit Stones and seemed to be guiding him toward the Western Regions.

• Yu Feng explained why reaching the Immortal Realm was his only hope and offered Ye Wudao the core crystal of the Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains.
• Ye Wudao accepted the crystal and agreed to take Yu Feng to the Immortal Realm, warning him that crossing the World Barrier would be dangerous.
• Yu Feng shrank the enormous mountain, and Wang Jian escorted its several million surviving inhabitants through the spatial rift into the Spirit Realm.
• Ye Wudao found that the spatial rifts were closing faster than expected, but he could not determine why and returned to Azure Dragon Mountain to cultivate.
• Ye Wudao discovered the green crystal had consumed more than four million Spirit Stones and was pulling him toward the Western Regions.

Ye Wudao followed the Green Crystal to a desert, where it revealed a buried mountain whose power was healing Blue Star’s spatial Rifts. After the Green Crystal entered the mountain, it rose and turned the surrounding sand into fertile, green land, leaving Ye Wudao wondering what the mountain was trying to accomplish.

• Ye Wudao followed the Green Crystal into the Western Regions’ largest desert and watched it lead him to a massive buried dune.
• The Green Crystal plunged into the dune, and a mountain peak emerged as the ground shook.
• Ye Wudao recognized the mountain’s power as the force healing Blue Star’s spatial Rifts and connected its rising to Yu Feng and the others approaching Blue Star.
• Ye Wudao wondered whether the mountain could be Kunlun Mountain, then let the Green Crystal enter it.
• The mountain rose fully, grew lush with plants, and spread green light that transformed the surrounding desert into fertile land.

Ye Wudao witnessed Kunlun Mountain absorb the oasis and reveal the Tree of Life, then met a wisp of Nuwa’s Divine Sense. She explained her limited purpose and confirmed that he should follow the Heavenly Dao’s instruction to activate the Myriad Worlds Academy, leaving him to pursue that path against the Outer Realm Celestial Demon.

• Ye Wudao watched the Green Crystal stop releasing life energy as the oasis shrank and Kunlun Mountain grew larger.
• A golden Tree of Life appeared on the summit, and the Green Crystal vanished from Ye Wudao’s body.
• A woman formed from golden light and told Ye Wudao she was a wisp of Nuwa’s Divine Sense, not Nuwa herself.
• Nuwa recognized traces of the Kunlun Mirror, Fuxi, and the Dao of Time and Space on Ye Wudao, and asked whether he had crossed the River of Time.
• Ye Wudao explained the Outer Realm Celestial Demon and asked Nuwa to help the Heavenly Dao, but she said her wisp could not intervene.
• Nuwa told Ye Wudao to follow the Heavenly Dao’s instructions and activate the Myriad Worlds Academy, then revealed that her task was to await the Tree of Life and have it acknowledge her as its master.

Ye Wudao learned from Holy Mother Nuwa that the golden sapling was the Tree of Life, which sustained the Reincarnation Realm, and that the green stone he had found was its fruit. As Nuwa’s spirit faded, she instructed him to claim the Tree of Life and Kunlun Mountain, and Ye Wudao bonded with the sapling using his heart’s blood.

• Ye Wudao asked Nuwa about the Tree of Life and Kunlun Mountain, and she explained Kunlun Mountain’s origins and why the Tree of Life made it the ancestor of all mountains.
• Nuwa revealed that the green stone was a fruit of the Tree of Life and that the hidden tree supplied life force to the Reincarnation Realm, allowing souls to be reborn.
• Nuwa told Ye Wudao that the Tree of Life could protect his soul in the Reincarnation Realm and help people awaken memories from past lives.
• As her spirit dissipated, Nuwa instructed Ye Wudao to make the Tree of Life acknowledge him, put away Kunlun Mountain and the tree, and follow the Heavenly Dao’s instructions.
• Ye Wudao placed a drop of his heart’s blood on the golden sapling, which absorbed it and formed a bond with him.

After securing Kunlun Mountain and the Tree of Life, Ye Wudao confirmed that the Tree of Life could connect to the Reincarnation Realm but was not yet strong enough to let him enter. A year later, he comprehended all the Basic Great Daos in the Myriad Dao Bell and formed the Way of Creation, leaving him questioning what it would take to create a world.

• Ye Wudao shrank Kunlun Mountain and the Tree of Life into tattoos on his left arm, forcing Little Golden Dragon to move to his right arm.
• Ye Wudao discovered that the Tree of Life connected to the Reincarnation Realm, but its tiny vortex was beyond his reach.
• Ye Wudao filled the pit left by Kunlun Mountain, then checked the Sea City, Magic Capital, and Capital City spatial rifts and found that their healing had stopped.
• Ye Wudao spent a year in seclusion and comprehended all ten thousand Basic Great Daos in the Myriad Dao Bell, each to 5%.
• The system announced that the Basic Great Daos had fused into the Way of Creation, and Ye Wudao found that his Great Dao panel now listed four Origin Great Daos.
• Ye Wudao considered whether mastering the Origin Great Daos could let him create a world, but remained uncertain about Pangu’s power and the nature of the ten Origin Daos.
