Chapter Summaries

Yuan Yan and his allies fought off the Three Pure Ones and secured the Twenty-Fourth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus. The Three Pure Ones withdrew their formation and asked whether Yuan Yan's group also intended to claim the Twelfth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus.

• Nuwa and Fuxi prepared to intervene while Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling blocked the Three Pure Ones from reaching the Twenty-Fourth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus.
• The two formations collided, and the Three Pure Ones were thrown back but protected from injury by the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
• Yuan Yan quickly imprinted his mark on the Twenty-Fourth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus and drew it into his body.
• Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian judged that they could not win or take the lotus, so they stopped drawing on Pangu Power and dispersed their formation; Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling did the same.
• Taiqing asked Yuan Yan and his allies whether they would also take the Twelfth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus, warning that the Three Pure Ones would otherwise leave and give up their claim.

The Three Pure Ones split the Twelfth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus into treasures for proving the Dao, while Nuwa obtained Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Yuan Yan sensed that the Three Lights Divine Water Pool was also part of Nuwa’s opportunity and had to leave her at least forty percent.

• Yuan Yan presented the Twelfth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus to the Three Pure Ones, who infused it with Pangu Power and divided it into the Taiyi Whisk, Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi, and Green Peace Sword.
• The Three Pure Ones discovered that their new treasures were Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures that could grow with their cultivation.
• Nuwa drew Nine Heavens Breath Soil from the Three Lights Divine Water Pool, while Houtu reflected on the Pangu Jade Marrow she had obtained earlier.
• Taiqing Laozi and Jade Pure One Yuanshi eyed the Three Lights Divine Water Pool after feeling dissatisfied with their share of the treasures.
• Yuan Yan used Palm World to try to take the pool, then sensed that he had to leave at least forty percent of its Three Lights Divine Water for Nuwa.

Yuan Yan collected the Three Lights Divine Water and gave Nuwa her share, despite the Three Pure Ones' objections. Nuwa and Fuxi chose to join Yuan Yan's group on Yingzhou Immortal Island, and the six became siblings before setting out to return there.

• Yuan Yan collected all the Three Lights Divine Water, then gave Nuwa a Water-Receiving Bottle containing half of it.
• Nuwa accepted the water, while Laozi and Yuanshi failed to turn her against Yuan Yan and left with the other Three Pure Ones.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng departed, leaving Yuan Yan's group, Nuwa, and Fuxi behind.
• Yuan Yan asked Nuwa and Fuxi to accompany his group to Yingzhou Immortal Island, and they agreed to join them in secluded cultivation.
• Yuan Yan proposed that they become siblings, and Nuwa and Fuxi accepted, addressing the four as their elder brothers.
• Yuan Yan searched the Blessed Land for useful treasures, then the six prepared to leave Mount Buzhou for Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Yuan Yan and his group shared the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage’s strength and plans with Nuwa and Fuxi, and the six strengthened their alliance through shared Fortune and future cooperation. Before leaving Mount Buzhou, they all sensed separate opportunities, so Yuan Yan and the others agreed to reunite at Yingzhou Immortal Island after pursuing them.

• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling told Nuwa and Fuxi about their lineage, its powerful followers, its gains from repairing the Western Continent, and its method for reaching the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
• Nuwa and Fuxi recognized how much they benefited by joining the lineage, while Yuan Yan and his group also gained from linking their Fortune with two Top-Tier Innate Divines.
• Yuan Yan and the other five prepared to leave Mount Buzhou for Yingzhou Immortal Island to cultivate.
• All six sensed distinct opportunities in different places before leaving Mount Buzhou’s summit.
• Yuan Yan gave Nuwa and Fuxi Yingzhou Immortal Island’s location and arranged for them to reconnect by jade talisman after pursuing their opportunities.

After three epochs of searching Mount Buzhou for treasures, Yuan Yan broke through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm on Yingzhou Immortal Island. He comprehended his transformed power and learned that his new cultivation had greatly increased his strength.

• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Fuxi, and Nuwa searched Mount Buzhou and obtained many treasures while clashing with Di Jun, Taiyi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Minghe.
• Three epochs later, Yuan Yan's breakthrough in the Three Lights Divine Water Pool released a Hunyuan aura that shook Yingzhou Immortal Island.
• Yuan Yan emerged within the Creation Green Lotus as a Primordial Golden Immortal, with his Innate Imperishable True Spirit initially fused with a Flawed Hunyuan Dao Fruit and Hunyuan Ancestral Qi.
• Yuan Yan comprehended his new realm and found that his Dao Fruit, Fleshly Primordial Spirit, and use of Hunyuan Power had greatly strengthened his combat ability.

After breaking through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, Yuan Yan joined his siblings in seclusion on Yingzhou Immortal Island. He arranged for Nuwa to control their jointly owned Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breath Soil, protecting her future path to creating the Human Race while planning to cultivate the soil into an Innate Supreme Treasure.

• Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Fuxi, and Nuwa congratulated Yuan Yan on his breakthrough, and they entered seclusion together in the Three Lights Divine Water Pool.
• Yuan Yan gave Yuan Ling the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus, and Yuan Ling passed his Ninth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus to Fuxi.
• Nuwa offered her Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breath Soil to Yuan Yan, but Yuan Yan made them jointly owned by all six and merged their Nine Heavens Breath Soil into a Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• Yuan Yan entrusted control of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to Nuwa so she could use it freely in her future creation of the Human Race without losing Human-Creation Merit.
• Yuan Yan planned to nourish the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and accelerate its growth, hoping to cultivate it into an Innate Supreme Treasure.

One hundred and seven Innate Great Witches emerged from the Pangu Blood Pool, strengthening the Witch Clan and prompting Dijiang to declare his ambition to dominate the Primordial World. Jiufeng feared the Ancestral Witches’ plan would fail because Hongjun, the future Heavenly Dao Six Saints, and other powerful beings would oppose them.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng watched as one hundred and seven blood cocoons opened in the Pangu Blood Pool.
• The newly born Great Witches were revealed to include eleven Top-Tier, twenty-four Elite, and seventy-two Ordinary Great Witches.
• Dijiang celebrated the clan’s new strength and declared that the Witch Clan would dominate the Primordial World, while the Great Witches cheered.
• Jiufeng was shocked because she had been trying to persuade the Ancestral Witches not to contend for supremacy.
• Jiufeng reasoned that the Ancestral Witches needed to conserve their Pangu merit and Fortune to reach Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal, but a bid for supremacy would bring slaughter, Karmic Force, and opposition from Hongjun, the future Heavenly Dao Six Saints, and other Innate Divines.

Jiufeng decided that the Witch Clan must not contend for supremacy in the Primordial World, believing its nature and low compatibility with the Heavenly Dao would make unification disastrous. To stop Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches, she impersonated Pangu and claimed to foresee their ruin if they joined the struggle, leaving them shaken and dispirited.

• Jiufeng considered why the Witch Clan was unsuited to rule the Primordial World and recognized that its unification would provoke resistance and damage the world.
• Dijiang planned to contend for supremacy, but Jiufeng firmly told him that the Witch Clan must not do so.
• Jiufeng considered explaining the dangers, then decided the Ancestral Witches would not be persuaded by reason alone.
• Jiufeng claimed that Pangu had revealed a disastrous future in which the Witch Clan's struggle caused slaughter, the loss of Pangu's remaining favor, and the deaths of most of the Ancestral Witches.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches sensed foreboding that confirmed Jiufeng's prediction, and Dijiang was left deeply shaken.

Jiufeng persuaded Dijiang that the Witch Clan must not contend for supremacy over the Primordial World, since the struggle would bring calamities and eventual decline. She described other paths for the clan to advance, and Dijiang ended the plan to compete for dominion.

• Dijiang asked whether the Witch Clan could destroy the future Demon Clan before it arose, and Zhu Jiuyin wondered why no one had heard of it.
• Jiufeng explained that Di Jun and Taiyi would found the Demon Clan, but eliminating them would not prevent others from uniting the myriad races against the Witch Clan.
• Jiufeng said any force seeking to rule the Primordial World would face Heavenly Dao trials, opposition from powerful divines and Hongjun, and the risk of ruin from accumulated slaughter and Karmic Force.
• Jiufeng told Dijiang that the Witch Clan could cultivate through the Pangu Blood Pool, earn Heavenly Dao Merit by sorting out the Earth's Veins, and draw on its Heaven-Opening Merit.
• Dijiang accepted Jiufeng's guidance and ordered the Witch Clan to stop pursuing supremacy and cultivate while earning Merit.

Jiufeng became the Witch Clan Sage and warned the Twelve Ancestral Witches against creating large numbers of weak Witch Clan members. They accepted her reasoning and prepared to focus on cultivating the Witch Clan rather than expanding it with ordinary blood.

• Dijiang proposed making Jiufeng the Witch Clan Sage, and all twelve Ancestral Witches agreed.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches planned to take blood-pool essence blood while sorting out the Earth Veins, leaving Jiufeng to supervise the younger witches in Pangu Hall.
• Jiufeng revealed that blood added to the Pangu Blood Pool could create new Witch Clan members, with their potential depending on the blood used.
• Dijiang suggested that Father God wanted the Witch Clan to spread across the Primordial World, but Jiufeng rejected that idea and explained the dangers of creating too many Ordinary Witch Clan members.
• Jiufeng urged the Ancestral Witches and the Innate Great Witches to avoid using ordinary blood, and to delay creating more witches until they grew stronger.
• The witches accepted Jiufeng's reasoning, and she considered restricting their numbers a first step toward avoiding the Witch Clan's future calamity.

After a century in seclusion, Fuxi comprehended the Innate Eight Trigrams, transformed his Dao, and advanced to the Twelfth-Layer Great Firmament Golden Immortal. He emerged to thank Yuan Yan and the others, while Nuwa asked whether he would return to seclusion.

• Di Jun sensed an unexplained foreboding, failed to use the River Chart and Luo Book to identify its source, and continued cultivating in seclusion.
• The Three Thousand Purple Firmament Palace Guests entered seclusion to digest the teachings, and another hundred Epochs passed.
• Fuxi comprehended the Innate Eight Trigrams on Yingzhou Immortal Island and advanced to the Twelfth-Layer Great Firmament Golden Immortal.
• Fuxi emerged from seclusion, thanked Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling for their Eight Trigrams principles, and recognized the Eight Trigrams as his Dao.
• Nuwa asked Fuxi why he had emerged from seclusion and whether he would continue cultivating afterward.

Yuan Yan emerged from seclusion after Fuxi broke through and accepted Formation Flags from Nuwa to set up the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation at restored Earth Veins. He agreed to take his turn but declined to make up for the turns he had missed.

• Fuxi apologized for disturbing Yuan Yan, who explained that the Twenty-Fourth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus had shielded him from the breakthrough’s fluctuations.
• Nuwa gave Yuan Yan Formation Flags and the locations of restored Earth Veins, saying it was his turn to set up the formation.
• Nuwa explained that setting up the formation could bring substantial Merit by helping Earth Veins absorb Chaos Qi and condense Heaven-Earth Origin Force.
• Yuan Yan agreed to set up the formation but joked that he would not make up for his missed turns.
• Yuan Yan examined the Formation Flags and noted their quality, as suitable flags could withstand the formation’s power and trap opponents.

Yuan Yan stayed on Yingzhou Immortal Island with Nuwa, Fuxi, and the others, discussing the Primordial World and exchanging Dao insights. He wondered why the Witch Clan had not begun its expected expansion, then concluded that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not yet discovered the Pangu Blood Pool’s secret.

• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling discussed how their Formation Flags earned them half the Merit when Nuwa used them to restore mountains, rivers, and Earth Veins.
• Yuan Yan remained on Yingzhou Immortal Island and chatted with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Fuxi, and Nuwa instead of leaving to set up the formation.
• Fuxi shared his judgments about the Primordial World and helped refine Yuan Yan’s plans, while Nuwa and Fuxi exchanged Dao insights with the others.
• Yuan Yan wondered why the Twelve Ancestral Witches and other witches were restoring Earth Veins instead of leading the Witch Clan’s expected campaign across the Primordial World.
• Yuan Yan concluded that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not yet discovered how to create witches through the Pangu Blood Pool, and that Di Jun and Taiyi were still cultivating in seclusion on the Sun Star.

After setting up the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation in the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, Yuan Yan discovered that a supposedly dead Crimson Flame Lini was alive again. He learned that an outsider had taken over the Lini’s body and Primordial Soul, but the outsider had no visible past in the River of Time.

• Yuan Yan decided to set up the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation himself rather than summon Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling.
• Yuan Yan spent more than ten thousand years establishing and activating the formation in the Crimson Flame Mountain Range’s restored Earth Veins.
• Yuan Yan sensed a Crimson Flame Lini recovering from injuries, although he remembered that the same Lini had been dead when he first arrived.
• Yuan Yan examined the Lini’s past through the River of Time and found that part of its history was obscured by the Great Dao Mist.
• Yuan Yan realized an outsider had occupied the dead Lini’s body and Primordial Soul, fused with them, and inherited its Fortune and destiny, though the outsider’s earlier past was nowhere to be seen.

Yuan Yan traced the mystery of Crimson Flame Lini’s return to Chi Feng, a Demon Clan member from the Eastern Emperor Realm who had crossed into the Primordial World by accident. After failing to investigate a dangerous, time-hidden segment of the River of Time, Yuan Yan learned Chi Feng’s history and the chapter left him considering how powerful beings had created worlds within Inner Chaos.

• Yuan Yan sensed that a segment of the River of Time concealed by the Great Dao Mist held a secret, but withdrew when probing it triggered an overwhelming sense of danger.
• Yuan Yan abandoned the attempt to investigate the hidden segment and turned his attention to Crimson Flame Lini, feeling no danger in examining him.
• Yuan Yan froze the space and time around Crimson Flame Lini and saw his memories, discovering that the person occupying his body was Chi Feng, who came from the Eastern Emperor Realm, also called the Demon Realm.
• Yuan Yan learned that Chi Feng had crossed into the Primordial World during a battle after strange ripples of space and time appeared, then merged with Crimson Flame Lini’s body under the influence of a mysterious power of time.
• Yuan Yan considered the Eastern Emperor Realm’s story of Eastern Emperor Taiyi creating its world and reflected that Great Firmament Golden Immortals had opened many worlds within Inner Chaos, including during earlier calamities.

Yuan Yan investigated the contradictions surrounding Chi Feng and the Eastern Emperor Realm, then uncovered fragments revealing that a mysterious force of time had carried his awareness into the Primordial World. He concluded that his transmigration was orchestrated by a powerful being, most likely Shichen, the Chaos Time Demon God.

• Yuan Yan noticed that the Eastern Emperor Realm's history and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's lifespan did not align, and decided to investigate the realm.
• Yuan Yan used the Yin-Yang Dao to deduce the Eastern Emperor Realm but stopped when he sensed the danger of backlash from the River of Time.
• Yuan Yan traced his strange familiarity with Chi Feng's spacetime ripples and recovered fragments showing that a mysterious force had brought his awareness to the Primordial Gourd Vine.
• Yuan Yan realized that his transmigration and Chi Feng's were likely orchestrated by a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal rather than caused by chance.
• Yuan Yan judged that Shichen, the Chaos Time Demon God, was the most likely figure behind the transmigrations.

Yuan Yan wondered whether the Chaos Time Demon God or another powerful being had altered the River of Time and brought him and others into the Primordial World to weaken it. He concluded that Pangu or the Heavenly Dao had likely ensured he was unharmed, but resolved that he or one of his companions would claim a Heavenly Dao Saint position.

• Yuan Yan reasoned that the Chaos Time Demon God might have survived Pangu's Creation Calamity and could act across the past and future.
• Yuan Yan suspected that the being who disrupted the River of Time intended to weaken the Primordial World, since time travel and changes to the past consumed the world's origin.
• Yuan Yan worried that the hidden being might have tampered with him and could one day control him into harming the Primordial World.
• Yuan Yan recalled that Pangu and the Heavenly Dao should have noticed the obvious traces in the River of Time, yet had not purged him and had allowed him to sit on a Sage Position cushion.
• Yuan Yan resolved that he or Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, or Yuan Ling would claim a Heavenly Dao Saint position.

Yuan Yan erased Crimson Flame Lini, also known as Chi Feng, then reconsidered the Primordial World's altered history and suspected a transmigrator had influenced the Witch Clan. He left to continue repairing the Western Continent's Earth Veins with new urgency, while narrowing his suspicions to the Twelve Ancestral Witches or Jiufeng.

• Yuan Yan weighed the dangers of killing Chi Feng, then erased Crimson Flame Lini without leaving a trace.
• Yuan Yan decided to repair the Western Continent's Earth Veins faster and set up more Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formations to gain Merit, Fortune, and strength.
• Yuan Yan recalled that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not created the Witch Clan or pursued dominance as expected, and suspected a transmigrator had changed their course.
• Yuan Yan considered Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin as possible transmigrators, then suspected Jiufeng because she had attended the First Lecture at Purple Firmament Palace and possessed unusually advanced cultivation.

Yuan Yan deduced that Jiufeng was a transmigrator who had changed the Witch Clan’s plans and considered whether to eliminate her. He decided against acting for now because any scheme could leave traces and provoke the Twelve Ancestral Witches, while Jiufeng’s influence threatened the balance of the Primordial World.

• Yuan Yan spent over a hundred years deducing Jiufeng’s Heavenly Secrets and discovered that she was the Witch Clan Sage, a position she had not held in the original trajectory of Fate.
• Yuan Yan concluded that Jiufeng was probably a transmigrator who knew about the Calamity of Witches and Demons and had persuaded the Twelve Ancestral Witches to focus on organizing the Earth Veins.
• Yuan Yan considered killing Jiufeng because her influence could help the Twelve Ancestral Witches grow powerful enough to threaten him and reshape the Primordial World.
• Yuan Yan judged that Jiufeng might regard him as a hostile fellow transmigrator and could persuade the Twelve Ancestral Witches to act against him.
• Yuan Yan refrained from plotting Jiufeng’s death because his actions could leave traces for the Twelve Ancestral Witches or Houtu to discover and trigger a deadly feud.

Yuan Yan decided not to secretly target Jiufeng because Pangu might have approved her transmigration, but he vowed to retaliate if the Witch Clan provoked him. He ordered his allies to strengthen the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage and continued restoring the Western Continent’s Earth Veins.

• Yuan Yan concluded that Jiufeng’s presence in Pangu Hall might reflect Pangu’s approval, so he chose not to act against her unless she or the Witch Clan threatened him.
• Yuan Yan decided to avoid conflict with other transmigrators unless they offended him, and he relayed his decisions to Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling.
• Yuan Yan ordered his allies to cultivate more powerhouses, restore the Western Continent’s Earth Veins faster, and earn more Merit and Fortune before setting out to establish another Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation.
• Nuwa used her Creation Dao and treasures to develop Blessed Lands and cultivate spirit roots and spiritual plants, providing resources for the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage.
• Fuxi used the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment to manage the lineage’s affairs and worked with Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling to refine the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation for future expansion.
