Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Primordial Qilin each drew upon their races’ remaining Clan Fortune to break beyond the Thirty-Six Heavens of Great Luo. As their new paths advanced, the Primordial World’s laws connected and gave birth to its Heavenly Dao.

• Ancestor Dragon absorbed the Dragon Race’s Fate Aura, including Qiuniu’s, and entered the origin of all water-element power.
• Yuanfeng drew in the Phoenix Clan’s and Hundred Avian Tribes’ Fate Aura, transforming her Phoenix Fire as she went beyond.

• Qing Xuan told Qing Yi and Zhen Yuanzi that the Heavenly Dao was about to be born.
• The Primordial World’s laws interconnected, and the Heavenly Dao Order appeared for the first time since Pangu created the heavens.

The Heavenly Dao manifested and crushed the three tribes’ final attempt to defy Heaven, while accumulated karmic force overwhelmed their merit. Qiuniu died after a mournful roar, and the chapter ended as demonic channels beneath the western Earth Veins reversed, sending Blood Fiend Aura and destructive demonic qi surging out from Mount Sumeru.

• The Eye of the Heavenly Dao opened and halted Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Primordial Qilin as they prepared to make their final stand.
• The Heavenly Dao drew out the three tribes’ accumulated Cause and Effect, and Karmic Force overwhelmed their Clan Fortune despite their merit and resistance.
• Qiuniu charged into the air, roared across the battlefield, and fell dead after his Great Dao aura extinguished.
• Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Qing Xuan, and Qing Yi watched the eastern battlefield’s aura subside as the Earth Book revealed activity in the western Earth Veins.
• The demonic patterns lit up, and the channels reversed, pouring accumulated Blood Fiend Aura and destructive demonic qi from Mount Sumeru into the western land.

As the western Ancestral Vein exploded, Qing Xuan, Qing Yi, and Zhen Yuanzi preserved part of the west, while the wounded fighters at Mount Sumeru turned on one another. Just as Qiankun Ancestor and Yang Mei were about to strike Hongjun, an uninjured figure with an aura like his arrived.

• Qing Xuan, Qing Yi, and Zhen Yuanzi activated their prepared contingencies and stabilized many of the western Earth Veins, though Mount Sumeru and the region around it could not be saved.
• After the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation broke, Qiankun Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Yang Mei attacked both Luohou and Hongjun, deciding neither could be allowed to survive.
• Luohou fought back with the Godslayer Spear, while Hongjun escaped Yang Mei's spatial trap and struck Yin-Yang Ancestor, plunging Mount Sumeru into chaos.
• Qiankun Ancestor and Yang Mei pinned down Hongjun and prepared a combined attack, while Luohou's World-Destroying Black Lotus suffered further damage.
• A streak of purple lightning struck the Qiankun Cauldron and scattered its gathered Qiankun dual qi, revealing an uninjured figure with an aura from the same origin as Hongjun's.

Hongjun and his Three Corpses turned the battle at Mount Sumeru against Luohou and the other ancestors. Qiankun Ancestor and Yin-Yang Ancestor were destroyed, Yang Mei escaped into Chaos, and Luohou was reduced to a wisp of True Spirit carried away by the Twelfth-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus; Hongjun claimed the battlefield treasures.

• Three Corpses joined Hongjun in attacking Luohou, Qiankun Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Yang Mei.
• Qiankun Ancestor tried to flee but was struck down, and the Qiankun Cauldron fell into the ruins.

• Yang Mei sacrificed half his Dao body and origin to escape through the spatial passage into Chaos.
• Luohou's Dao body crumbled under the assault, leaving only a wisp of True Spirit that the Twelfth-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus carried away.
• Hongjun collected the Qiankun Cauldron, Taiji Diagram, and Godslayer Spear, then erased Luohou's Great Dao imprint from the spear.

After the three-race calamity ended, Qing Xuan and Qing Yi returned to Purple Star to sort through their gains. On Blue Star, Shen Qinghe and the others debated whether the weakened Dragon Race should remain their primary contact, and Ren Qianxue argued that its defeat made it more open to exchange.

• The calamity aura dissipated, merit descended, and Hongjun gathered the remaining merit before returning to Jade Capital Mountain to establish his Dao.
• Qing Xuan and Qing Yi left Longevity Mountain and returned to Purple Star, where they planned to remain and review what they had gained.
• Shen Qinghe shut off the Firmament display after interference left the final records of the battle at Mount Sumeru incomplete.
• Hu Liena questioned whether the defeated Dragon Race should remain in the First Contact Sequence after Ancestor Dragon retreated and Qiuniu fell.
• Di Tian and Ren Qianxue defended keeping the Dragon Race as a contact, with Ren Qianxue arguing that its losses could make it more eager to rise again and consider exchange.

Blue Star’s leaders kept the Dragon Race contact plan open while reserving Divine Position inheritance for a valuable exchange, and learned that their first passage could be ready within half a year. In the Primordial World, Hongjun discovered that outsiders were trying to reach it and made its otherwise infinite boundary finite, leaving their arrival to their own strength and fortune.

• Hongjun used the Heavenly Dao to stop the Primordial World’s boundary from multiplying without limit and left a Heavenly Dao Mark to keep it finite.
• Hongjun left it to the outsiders to determine whether they could reach the Primordial World.

• Taiqing agreed that all three brothers would fight Qing Xuan, and they used the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to support their combined attacks.
• Qing Xuan repelled the Three Pure Ones with a single palm, and Taiqing stopped his brothers from continuing the battle.

Qing Xuan and Qing Yi arrived at Zixiao Palace as Taiyi fought the Three Pure Ones outside its gates.

On Blue Star, researchers reviewed the lecture and the latest Douluo Continent results, where Su Qingxue had completed the first stage of a Divine Position Inheritance assessment.

Su Qingxue rejected Tang Yao’s proposal to walk the path of divine inheritance together, saying she had chosen Qing Xuan. She then selected Qing Xuan as her priority contact for the Primordial World Adaptation Plan and defended the choice to Hu Liena, who reconsidered the academy’s plans and asked about Su Qingxue’s personal reasons.

• Su Qingxue emerged from the inheritance secret realm as a level seventy-nine Soul Sage, and Tang Yao congratulated her before asking her to join him on the path toward a Divine Position.

• Hu Liena said the academy could reassess Qing Xuan’s contact priority, then asked Su Qingxue for her personal reason.

• The Queen Mother of the West approached Qing Xuan and Qing Yi, introduced herself, and said their manifested Great Dao had piqued her curiosity.

After leaving Zixiao Palace, Qing Xuan and Qing Yi traveled with Queen Mother of the West to West Kunlun to discuss their Dao and exchange spirit fruits. As they shared Ren Water Flat Peaches, Qing Xuan presented Astral Fruits and Five-Needle Pine Cones, and Queen Mother of the West recognized that the Astral Fruit Tree was on Purple Star.

Qing Xuan and Qing Yi arrived at Buzhou Mountain as Innate Divine Beings gathered to claim the seven gourds of the Innate Gourd Vine. When the formation faded, six gourds flew off and the struggle began, while Qing Xuan and Qing Yi planned to take the Dark-Cyan Gourd and save the vine.

• Qing Xuan and Qing Yi reached Buzhou Mountain and met Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi among the gathered Innate Divine Beings.

• Taiyi used his bell to disrupt the treasure-seekers while Di Jun captured a golden gourd with the River Chart and Luo Script.

The six mature gourds were claimed, while Qing Xuan and Qing Yi revealed that the final Dark-Cyan Gourd had inherited the Gourd Vine’s origin and could grow into a new spirit root. As Qing Yi used the Qiankun Cauldron to preserve the vine, nearly fifty Innate Divine Beings attacked Qing Xuan, but his spatial power left Kunpeng unable to reach the cliff.

• Fuxi recalled seeing Queen Mother of the West display a plain white banner at Zixiao Palace and identified it as possibly the Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner.

Qing Xuan and Qing Yi returned to Purple Star and restored their spirit roots, including beginning the long process of repairing the weakened Gourd Vine. As Qing Yi tended the vine, Qing Xuan promised to take her to a world beyond the Primordial World, and she agreed.

With three of the Five Directional Primordial Flags now gathered, Queen Mother of the West hinted that she might know where the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner last appeared.
