After completing his cultivation, Lu Tian studied Jieyin and Zhunti’s reformed scripture, perfected his Vajra Dharma Body, and developed the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Method.

• Lu Tian recognized that the Investiture of the Gods tribulation was approaching and decided to prepare while pursuing fortune, merit, and spiritual treasures.

Hongjun appointed Haotian and Jade Pond to govern the Heavenly Court after a period of tribulations, while Lu Tian accepted the devoted Zhending as his disciple and began teaching him the Western Teachings. The chapter ended as Hongjun summoned the Six Sages and addressed Jieyin and Zhunti about their conduct during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

• Hongjun summoned the Six Sages to Purple Cloud Palace and praised Jieyin and Zhunti for how they had handled matters during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

After Hongjun declared that humanity would become the protagonist of heaven and earth, Nuwa asked Lu Tian to arrange Fuxi’s reincarnation, and Lu Tian sent Fuxi’s spirit to be reborn in the west. Lu Tian suspected Hongjun had begun merging with the Heavenly Dao, while Pingxin watched the Human Path in silence.

• Hongjun told the sages that the human race would produce the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and that each sage could send someone to guide them.
• Nuwa asked Jieyin and Zhunti to help secure Houtu’s approval for Fuxi’s reincarnation, and they pointed out that Lu Tian’s consent was also needed.

• Lu Tian sent Fuxi’s spirit through the Human Path to be reborn in the west, while he suspected Hongjun’s changed attitude meant he had begun merging with the Heavenly Dao.

• Pingxin sent Xing Tian and Jiu Feng to choose Witch Clan members for reincarnation as humans, while Nuwa agreed to remain in the Western Teachings and watch over Fuxi's reincarnation.

• When Fuxi was born, Nuwa placed the River Diagram and Luo Shu beside him, and she watched him grow into a gifted cultivator and tribal leader who expanded his people's territory.
• Jieyin and Zhunti asked their disciples to choose an Imperial Tutor for Fuxi, and Lu Tian volunteered to give up the position so one of his senior brothers could take it.

Xuangui became Fuxi’s cultivation teacher while Lu Tian completed a merit spiritual treasure capable of absorbing a race’s fortune. Lu Tian set out to seek Nuwa’s approval before giving the seal to Fuxi, leaving its role in the Western Human Race unresolved.

• Lu Tian withdrew from the contest to become Imperial Tutor so he could finish refining his merit spiritual treasure, and Jieyin and Zhunti chose Xuangui to guide Fuxi.
• Xuangui traveled to the Fuxi Tribe and accepted Fuxi as a disciple without formally converting him to the Western Teachings, an arrangement Nuwa tolerated.
• Xuangui settled in the tribe and taught Fuxi cultivation and deduction, helping him deepen his understanding of the River Diagram and Luo Shu.
• Lu Tian completed a powerful merit seal forged with a severed vein of Buzhou Mountain, which could absorb the fortune of a race or teaching.
• Lu Tian decided that Fuxi should use the seal to strengthen the Western Human Race’s fortune, and he went to Nuwa’s Dao field to report his plan.

Lu Tian lent Fuxi a merit-forged imperial seal, and Fuxi used his wisdom and accomplishments to unify the Western Human Race. Seeing that his people’s faith was inseparable from the Western Teachings, Fuxi asked the sect to share authority with him, prompting its leaders to discuss how to accept while avoiding interference in human affairs.

• Lu Tian showed Nuwa the imperial seal and, with her permission, gave it to the Black Tortoise to deliver to Fuxi.
• Fuxi mastered the Eight Trigrams, unified the Western Human Race, and recognized how deeply the Western Teachings had shaped his people’s beliefs.

• Jieyin proposed that the Western Teachings govern alongside Fuxi in name while refraining from the Human Race’s internal affairs and focusing on doctrine and faith.

The Western Teachings staged Fuxi’s enthronement as Human Emperor, drawing the tribes and the gathered Saints into a ceremony that tied the human race’s destiny to Buddhism. Lu Tian then revealed a prepared Human Dao Supreme Treasure, shocking the assembled powers as its inscription appeared.

• Jieyin arranged for Lu Tian, Zhunti, and Ancestor Minghe to elevate Fuxi’s status at his enthronement, while the other Western Teachings disciples prepared to display their strength.

• Lu Tian produced a seal from Fuxi’s True Spirit, revealing a Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure and Human Dao Supreme Treasure that stunned Dao De Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun.
• The seal’s power had grown with the human race’s fortune, and the eight characters “By the Mandate of Heaven, may it endure forever” appeared on its base.

Lu Tian invested Fuxi as the Human Emperor, and Fuxi’s merit-fueled cultivation reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Fuxi joined the Western Teachings as Namo Emperor Tathagata and helped establish Fanjing Mountain as their sacred land among humanity.

• Fuxi told Nuwa that his duties as Human Emperor would keep him from often visiting her, then thanked Black Tortoise for his guidance.

• Lu Tian established the Fanjing Mountain lineage among humanity, and the Western Teachings’ leaders and disciples enfeoffed the mountain as their sacred land.

The Earth Veins transformed Fanjing Mountain into a Blessed Land as the immortals celebrated the Human Emperor's coronation. When Taiyi Zhenren challenged Lu Tian, Lu Tian defeated him with a glance, while Yuanshi Tianzun discovered a lingering heart demon that urged Taiyi to join the Western Teachings.

• The Earth Veins poured energy into Fanjing Mountain, making it flourish as a new Blessed Land and producing genuine Earth-Gushing Golden Lotuses; Lu Tian received twelve Sea-Calming Divine Beads from the system.
• During the celebration, Lu Tian eyed Zhao Gongming's Sea-Calming Divine Beads and resolved to claim them during the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, while Taiyi Zhenren struggled with the humiliation of his past defeat.
• After the feast, Taiyi Zhenren challenged Lu Tian, and the two ascended to the First Heaven to fight before the watching immortals.
• Lu Tian's demonic gaze froze Taiyi Zhenren and knocked his Yin Yang Twin Swords, Wind Fire Wheels, and Golden Brick from his grasp; Lu Tian collected the treasures before returning them.
• Yuanshi Tianzun retrieved the unconscious Taiyi Zhenren and used the Scripture of Purity and Tranquility to suppress his heart demon, but Taiyi still heard a voice urging him to take refuge in the Western Teachings.

Fuxi warned Nuwa about the human race’s tribulations, but when an epidemic struck the east, Nuwa’s attempt to help was stopped by Dao De Tianzun. As Xuandu and the Western Teachings’ Pharmacist and Lu Tian set out to guide Shennong, Shennong discovered that ordinary medicinal herbs could treat illness and began learning their use.

• Fuxi told Nuwa that becoming Human Emperor in the west had spared him a prison-like tribulation and urged her to care for the human race.
• When an epidemic devastated the eastern tribes, Nuwa sent Lingzhuzi to treat the sick, but Dao De Tianzun brought him back and said the plague was a tribulation leading to the Earth Emperor.
• Dao De Tianzun sent Xuandu to teach the Earth Emperor alchemy, while Jieyin sent Pharmacist east to contend with Xuandu and Lu Tian to assist him.
• Xuandu found Shennong Shi, taught him the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir, and helped him cure the plague, but Shennong worried that alchemy was too difficult for ordinary people to learn.
• Shennong secretly watched an old man cure a poisoned child with herbs, then asked the old man to teach him how to use medicinal plants to treat illness.

Pharmacist taught Shennong the Dao of medicinal herbs, prompting Xuandu to challenge him over the Human Sovereign's merit. After Xuandu defeated Pharmacist, Lu Tian intervened and overwhelmed Xuandu with a single blade strike, leaving the human race free to choose between their teachings.

• Pharmacist revealed himself to Xuandu and passed his herbal knowledge to Shennong while Lu Tian kept Xuandu at bay.
• Xuandu and Pharmacist fought for forty-nine days, and Xuandu narrowly won with the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace and Six Ding Divine Fire.

• Lu Tian attacked Xuandu with the Moon Washing Blade and defeated him with one devastating strike.
• Lu Tian and Pharmacist returned to the human tribe and declared that each teaching could preach according to its abilities, leaving the choice to the human race.

After Shennong unified the eastern human race and became its Human Emperor, he traveled west to meet Fuxi and proposed reunifying humanity. The chapter ends with both emperors abdicating under Heaven’s warning, as Fuxi joined the Western Teachings and learned that the eastward spread of their faith had been blocked.

• Dao De Tianzun treated Xuandu’s wounds, reprimanded him for falling behind Lu Tian, and promised to arrange his training after the struggle for humanity’s fortune ended.
• Shennong advanced herbal medicine and other practical arts, unified the Eastern Human Race, and received enough merit to become a peak Quasi-Saint and the new Human Emperor.

• Empress Pingxin sent Witch Clan members through reincarnation to form the Jiuli tribe and contend for the final Human Emperor position.
• Fuxi and Shennong abdicated on the same day; Fuxi then joined the Western Teachings and learned that Tongtian’s Jie Teachings had thwarted their efforts to spread westward teachings in the east.

Shennong entered Fire Cloud Cave, while Fuxi avoided joining him after Jieyin and Zhunti persuaded the Dao Ancestor that Fuxi had no duty to guard the East’s fortune. With the eastern and western human races divided, Xuanyuan and Chiyou rose as rival contenders for the Human Emperor’s title, and their forces began probing across Two Realms Mountain.

• Shennong accepted Dao De Tianzun’s charge to guard Fire Cloud Cave and protect the human race’s fortune.
• Dao De Tianzun went to the Western Teachings to bring Fuxi to Fire Cloud Cave, but Fuxi argued that he owed no service to the East, and Jieyin and Zhunti backed him.
• At Purple Firmament Palace, the Dao Ancestor agreed that Fuxi did not have to guard the East’s fortune, so Fuxi returned to Spirit Mountain as the Namo Emperor Tathagata.
• Yuanshi Tianzun sent Guangchengzi to guide Xuanyuan, warning him that Xuanyuan’s rival was in the West.
• Xuanyuan united the eastern human tribes while Chiyou, after awakening his Witch Clan heritage, united the western tribes and recalled former subordinates from the Netherworld.
• Xuanyuan and Chiyou each sought to cross Two Realms Mountain and conquer the other’s territory, and their forces began clashing as they tested one another.

As the human conflict between Xuanyuan and Chiyou intensified, Lu Tian declined to intervene and prepared to establish the underworld as Yin Tianzi. Haotian rebuilt the Heavenly Court, and after eight hundred years Lu Tian won the Earthly Dao’s recognition and formally established the underworld.

• Jieyin asked the Western Teachings how to support Chiyou, and Ancestor Minghe proposed sending Asura members to reincarnate and aid him.
• Lu Tian said he would not join the struggle for the Human Emperor’s throne because he sensed the time to establish the underworld was near.
• Hongjun sent Haotian and Jade Pond to reestablish the Heavenly Court, and Haotian gathered resources and announced its formal reopening eight hundred years later.
• Lu Tian announced that he would establish the underworld on the same date, prompting Haotian to seek support from Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones and Zhenyuanzi to consider joining the west.
• After eight hundred years, Lu Tian used the Human Emperor Seal to merge with the underworld’s destiny, declare himself Yin Tianzi, and summon the Book of Life and Death.

Lu Tian became the Yin Tianzi and established the Underworld’s divine hierarchy with the Shepherd God List, drawing powerful allies and merit to his new realm. He then ordered Xing Tian and the other appointed officials to begin guiding the dead and maintaining the order of reincarnation.

• The Book of Life and Death appeared in the Netherworld, and the system granted Lu Tian the Divine Control Scroll.
• Pingxin, Minghe, Jieyin, Zhunti, Fuxi, and other powers congratulated Lu Tian, while the Witch Clan, Asura Race, and Western Teachings sent forces to serve in the Underworld.
• Lu Tian used the Shepherd God List to enfeoff the Witch Clan warriors, Asuras, and novice monks as Underworld gods, then appointed major officials, including Black Tortoise, Pharmacist, Xing Tian, and Maitreya.
• Merit descended after the appointments, and Pharmacist broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm as the Underworld’s structure was established.
• Lu Tian ordered Xing Tian to guard the Ghost Gate Pass and assigned Papiyas, Jiu Feng, Mahabrahma, and Maitreya to help govern the Underworld.
• Lu Tian summoned the Ten Yama Kings and judges to hear his command.

Lu Tian organized the underworld’s rule over the dead, while Dizang vowed to save condemned souls and Zhenyuanzi stayed to study the Earthly Dao. Haotian established the Heavenly Court and sent Nine Heavens Profound Maiden to assist Xuanyuan as war with Chiyou approached.

• Lu Tian distributed the Book of Life and Death, ordered underworld forces to collect souls, and declared that the dead would be judged and reincarnated under the underworld’s authority.
• The underworld stabilized its operations, and Zhenyuanzi agreed to reside there temporarily after gaining insight into the Earthly Dao.
• Dizang vowed to save the dead until hell was empty, and Lu Tian assigned him to guide deeply sinful ghosts out of torment.
• Haotian and Jade Pond established the Heavenly Court, but after most immortals refused to join, they chose to recruit human talent and sent Nine Heavens Profound Maiden to aid Xuanyuan.
• Chiyou’s soldiers crossed Two Realms Mountain, bringing Xuanyuan’s forces to the brink of war with the Western Human Race.
• Nine Heavens Profound Maiden offered Xuanyuan and Guangchengzi Heavenly Court support, and Yuanshi Tianzun ordered Guangchengzi to cooperate with her.

Chiyou’s Western army initially overwhelmed Xuanyuan’s forces, but Feng Hou’s new divination art helped the Eastern tribes hold their ground. Xuanyuan enlisted the Dragon Clan, whose intervention defeated Chiyou, and Lu Tian then arrived to offer Chiyou a way to deal with them.

• Chiyou rejected his brothers’ proposal to summon the Witch Clan and led the Western army toward Two Realms Mountain, where he opened the war with an assault.
• Chiyou’s tortoiseshell chart guided repeated victories until the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden gave Feng Hou a wordless jade tome, which he used to create Feng Hou Qi Men and stalemate the Western army.
• Xuanyuan sought aid from the Dragon Clan and promised to make dragons the Eastern Human Race’s totem; Ying Long agreed to send the Dragon Clan’s elite once the tribes began worshipping them.
• After Eastern tribes adopted dragon totems, a thousand dragons defeated Chiyou’s forces, driving the Western army from its occupied territory.
• Lu Tian returned to the west, brought Zhending to meet Chiyou, and offered to resolve the Dragon Clan problem without demanding payment.

Lu Tian sent Zhending to capture a true dragon and studied the fierce baleful aura afflicting Chiyou, then intervened when the Dragon Clan entered the renewed war. The chapter ended with Lu Tian and six Quasi-Saints confronting Ying Long as a Saint’s power sealed the battlefield.

• Lu Tian told Zhending to capture a dragon and explained his plan to bring the Dragon Clan into Western Teachings, while promising to rescue him if needed.
• Lu Tian examined Chiyou’s fierce baleful aura, extracted a thread to study, and left Chiyou to suppress it in the meantime.
• After the truce ended, Chiyou led his army into battle as the Dragon Clan aided the East, and Zhending captured two true dragons before the West Sea Dragon King attacked him.
• Maitreya rescued Zhending and confronted the Dragon Kings, but Ying Long arrived, sealed the area, and freed the West Sea Dragon King.
• Lu Tian arrived with six Quasi-Saints and offered Ying Long the choice of joining the West or guarding the sea eye; Ying Long refused and fought them.
• A Saint’s power sealed the battlefield, and Styx told Lu Tian to proceed while sparing some dragons for his own purposes.

Lu Tian and the underworld’s six Quasi-Saints defeated Ying Long’s advance and captured a large part of the Dragon Clan, prompting Ying Long to withdraw from the Human Race conflict and send his captured descendants to the West. Lu Tian assigned the dragons to the underworld and Western Teachings, then returned to Spirit Mountain, where the West Sea Dragon King faced the assembled powers.

• Lu Tian urged the six Quasi-Saints to fight without worrying about damaging the Western Earth Veins, and they drove Ying Long down to the Thirty-Second Heaven.

• Lu Tian assigned half the captured dragons to guard the underworld’s seas and hells, then distributed the rest between Ancestor Minghe and the Western Teachings at Spirit Mountain.
• Lu Tian appointed his disciple to lead the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, leaving the West Sea Dragon King trembling before the gathered powers.
