Chapter Summaries

The Incarnation of Emperor Jun led the exhausted Twelve Ancestral Witches in sacrificing their bodies and souls to transform the Pangu phantom into a real being. As Sage Taiqing’s Yin Yang Fish descended, Emperor Jun took sole control of the transformed Pangu, whose Heaven Splitting Axe remained illusory.

• Sage Taiqing withdrew his damaged Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda and prepared to suppress the weakened formation with Yin Yang Fish Laws.
• The Incarnation of Emperor Jun revealed a final plan, and the other eleven Ancestral Witches agreed to risk everything rather than wait for death.
• As Sage Taiqing sent an enormous Yin Yang Fish toward the formation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ bodies crumbled and merged into it, while the eleven surrendered their souls.
• The Incarnation of Emperor Jun gathered the shattered souls and used his own soul to take sole control of the Pangu phantom.
• The Ancestral Witches’ bloodlines flowed through the Pangu phantom, making it solid and lifelike, though its Heaven Splitting Axe remained illusory.

Emperor Jun’s incarnation controlled the Pangu body and struck Sage Taiqing, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ bloodline power dwindled. Tongtian’s intervention and a brief pause in the axe let Taiqing escape the blow’s full force, but the chapter ended with him crying out in pain in another part of Chaos.

• Emperor Jun’s Pangu body shattered Taiqing’s Yin Yang Laws and struck the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda, severely damaging it.

• Emperor Jun burned the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ bloodline power and poured the body’s remaining force into the Heaven Splitting Axe.
• Tongtian shouted for the axe to stop, and its brief pause let Taiqing traverse space before he cried out miserably elsewhere in Chaos.

After the Twelve Ancestral Witches vanished, a mysterious figure wielding the Heaven Splitting Axe effortlessly defeated Sage Taiqing and Supreme Pure Tongtian. Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Devil Ancestor Luo Hou recognized the figure as Great God Pangu, leaving the Three Purities shaken and Lady Pingxin elated.

• Sage Taiqing attacked the fading figure with Yin Yang Laws while Emperor Jun watched, unable to sense the souls of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

• Lady Pingxin welcomed the possibility that Great God Pangu had awakened, even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches had perished in the process.

Emperor Jun judged that the Pangu figure formed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches was still illusory, though it became physically solid and drew the primordial treasures toward it. The figure sent the treasures back and was revealed to be Great God Pangu’s consciousness from the past, leaving his future creation of the Primordial World still ahead.

• Lady Pingxin rejoiced at the Pangu phantom’s appearance while the other Sages and Dao Ancestor Hongjun wondered whether Pangu had returned to life.

• An immense pressure appeared in Chaos, and the Golden Eye representing the Great Dao emerged.
• The Great Dao’s Golden Eye examined Pangu and discovered that he was a strand of divine consciousness from the past.

Great God Pangu withdrew his consciousness from the future, causing his illusory body to collapse before the Great Dao's Golden Eye vanished.

Lady Pingxin left after Emperor Jun ended their transaction, and Emperor Jun departed Chaos after searching for signs of Pangu. In the past, Pangu began opening heaven and earth, shaping a growing world with the bodies and Laws of the Chaos Demon Gods as nearly three thousand of them gathered around him.

• Lady Pingxin asked Emperor Jun about their transaction, and he said it ended because he had failed to preserve the Twelve Ancestral Witches' souls.
• Lady Pingxin hurried back to the Netherworld, curious about the Twelfth Ancestral Witch, while Emperor Jun inspected where Pangu's body had vanished and then left.

• Pangu struck Chaos with the Heaven Splitting Axe, killed the Chaos Demon Gods who attacked him, and used their bodies and Laws to nourish the emerging world.
• Pangu merged the three thousand Laws from the Jade Plate of Creation into the repeatedly shattered and reborn world, giving it the potential to become a Primordial World.
• Nearly three thousand Chaos Demon Gods gathered around Pangu, and one asked where they should go after the new world opened and the Great Dao retreated.

Pangu defeated the Chaos Demon Gods who opposed his world-opening, then sacrificed the damaged Chaos treasures and held the Primordial World apart as it took shape. In the future, Emperor Jun studied Pangu’s gift and focused on the portions he could understand, though his Mind Realm still could not complete the first leap in life level.

• Pangu fought nearly three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, killing them and letting their bodies nourish the expanding Primordial World.
• The Primordial World was reborn through Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire as Pangu slew the remaining Demon Gods, though the battle left him and his three Chaos treasures badly damaged.
• Pangu withdrew his power from the treasures, sending the Jade Plate of Creation, the lotus seeds, and the three parts of the Heaven Splitting Axe into the Primordial World.
• When the Primordial World’s heavens and earth began to close, Pangu stood between them and received Heaven-Opening Merit as the Great Dao’s Golden Eye appeared.
• Back in the future, Emperor Jun studied Pangu’s gift, set aside its incomprehensible later portions, and used his Mind Realm to deduce the earlier stages of life’s transformation.
• Emperor Jun’s Mind Realm could not complete the first leap in life level, so he continued working to understand the portion of the gift he could comprehend.

Emperor Jun observed the recovery through his incarnation and divided his consciousness between his true body and the incarnation, whose soul remained asleep in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.

The Incarnation of Emperor Jun told Lady Pingxin how Pangu had appeared and struck Sage Taiqing, then claimed he had been born in Pangu Hall without a name.
