Chapter Summaries

Lin Tian advanced the great Dao Seed to thirteen inheritance powers, prompting the Unnameable Heavenly Dao to attack him after Hongjun refused to help. Lin Tian headed toward the Human Race to seek the five powers still needed, while the approaching Investiture of the Gods Calamity threatened to sever his connection to his original self.

• The Dragon Clan brought hundreds of millions of Water Vein Gods into the great Dao Seed, raising its inheritance powers from twelve to thirteen.
• The Unnameable Heavenly Dao raged over Lin Tian's progress and left the Zixiao Palace to attack him, while Hongjun refused to assist it.
• Lin Tian sensed the Heavenly Dao approaching but continued toward the Human Race, intent on completing the great Dao Seed before the calamity began.
• Xuan Yuan, Chiyou, and the gathered human, Witch Clan, and sect forces halted their fighting and prostrated themselves before Lin Tian, calling him the Ancestral God.
• Lin Tian did not respond to their greeting, viewing the Human Race's wars as a way to vent tribulation and cultivate its strongest members.

After Cangjie, Shen Nong, Chiyou, and Xuan Yuan entered Lin Tian’s great dao seed, Lin Tian attacked the corrupted Heavenly Dao to gather the inheritance powers needed to break through the plane. Daoist Hongjun emerged from Zixiao Palace in a monstrous form, revealing that he had lured Fuxi into bringing Lin Tian to the Primordial World.

• Lin Tian recalled Cangjie to the great dao seed, and Cangjie’s accumulated merit descended upon the Human Race and Witch Clan.
• Lin Tian invited the Human Race and Witch Clan to follow him into the Great Dao, and Shen Nong, Chiyou, and Xuan Yuan immediately entered his great dao seed.
• Lin Tian used the Phoenix Zither to impose order on the Heavenly Dao’s irregular clouds, exposing its corruption and bringing him closer to completing the seed’s inheritance powers.
• Lin Tian unfolded the Celestial Star Dou Formation and bombarded the Heavenly Dao’s million-li-wide tribulation clouds with stars, blasting them into fragments.
• Daoist Hongjun left Zixiao Palace in a grotesque form and revealed that he had used Fuxi as bait to lure Lin Tian into the Primordial World.

Lin Tian’s law true body defeated and absorbed Daoist Hongjun, then returned to Spirit Vine Ten Thousand Laws Heaven with Fuxi and eighteen levels of heavenly dao inherited power. His original self sent the law true body into seclusion and looked down at the Primordial World below.

• Lin Tian charged into the Zixiao Palace and destroyed Daoist Hongjun with an explosive attack involving his trump cards.
• Daoist Hongjun recognized Lin Tian as Fellow Daoist Spirit Vine before plunging into the great dao seed and merging with Lin Tian’s layered figures.
• Lin Tian’s merged form played the Phoenix Zither as the Primordial World contracted, then carried Fuxi across the planar dimensions to Spirit Vine Ten Thousand Laws Heaven.
• Lin Tian’s law true body delivered the great dao seed to Fuxi and returned to the original self, reporting that he had freed Fuxi and gained eighteen levels of heavenly dao inherited power.
• Lin Tian’s original self sent the law true body into seclusion and turned his gaze toward the Primordial World below.

After returning from Fuxi’s Great Dao Primordial World, Lin Tian found that three million years had passed in his home Primordial World, where the witch-demon calamity had ended but Hongjun’s plans remained stalled. While examining the two great dao seeds in his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian triggered a dangerous burst of Hongmeng chaos qi and narrowly avoided being destroyed.

• Lin Tian compared the passage of time across Primordial Worlds and concluded that his home plane’s time and laws surpassed those of other planes.
• Lin Tian observed that the first Dao lecture had been held on Mount Sumeru, while Hongjun’s third lecture and Purple Heaven Palace remained stalled because Lin Tian controlled the world’s laws.
• Lin Tian considered the danger of leaving his home Primordial World, which might vanish from the Chaos Sea and leave him stranded.
• Lin Tian examined the star-formed and Fuxi-formed great dao seeds revolving in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Lin Tian’s true intent touched the Fuxi-formed seed, releasing a trace of Hongmeng chaos qi that vanished before it could destroy him.

Lin Tian discovered that Xing Tian had hidden among Houtu's Nether Shadow Race and was secretly hunting witches to strengthen the Great Dao Seed. He also reflected that his changes to history had reshaped fate, while the Demon Race had spent millions of years following Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's decree to disperse and eventually integrate into human society.

• Lin Tian withdrew his probing intent from the Great Dao Seed after its indescribable madness became even more solid and frenzied.
• Lin Tian searched for Xing Tian and discovered that he had disguised himself as a Golden Immortal member of the Nether Shadow Race, hiding among the Witch Clan while hunting witches and feeding their flesh and blood to the Great Dao Seed.
• Lin Tian concluded that Xing Tian's strange fate reflected his own influence on the Primordial World's history and accepted that changing fate was central to his journey.
• Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi ordered the Demon Race to return to the mountains and forests and required demons who reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm to assume human form and integrate into Human Race society.
• Demon Master Kunpeng and the Ten Great Demon Saints reluctantly accepted the decree, and the demons dispersed across the Northern Continent, settling closer to the Eastern Continent over the following three million years.

Demon Master Kunpeng led the old demon elites away from Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun, founded the Heavenly Sage Demon Race at the Great Wilderness Pass, and prayed to establish its own Demon Script and enduring Dao lineage. The Primordial World remained stable as the Daoist School Lineage expanded across the Western Continent and Hongjun secured authority over his laws.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun's reforms drove most Great Luo Golden Immortal elites in the Ten Great Demon Kingdoms to follow Kunpeng and break away from their faction.
• Kunpeng gathered the old-guard demons at the Great Wilderness Pass and established the Heavenly Sage Demon Race, which humans called the Heavenly Demon Race.
• Kunpeng prayed to the Heavenly Dao to create a Demon Script and establish an eternal Dao lineage for his race, while tens of billions of demon elites acclaimed him as their emperor.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun avoided war with Kunpeng's faction because the Upper Realm Chaos Demon Gods had become involved in the old Demon Race.
• The Daoist School Lineage grew across the Western Continent after Hongjun's lectures spread the Three Thousand Laws, and Hongjun secured his own law.

Over three million years, Hongjun's Daoist School Lineage grew into the Mystic Clan, while Ghost Chariot maintained his Silence Palace beneath Mount Sumeru to keep humans from joining it. When Lin Tian emerged from seclusion, he sent Ghost Chariot a Dao beacon granting access to two Primordial Worlds.

• Hongjun's Daoist School Lineage solidified and became the Mystic Clan, welcoming creatures of any origin that formed a Purple Mansion Space.
• Ghost Chariot established Silence Palace beside Mount Sumeru's Teleportation Array, maintaining his identity as a Human Ancestor loyal to Lin Tian.
• Ghost Chariot's presence at the foot of Mount Sumeru deterred human elites from joining the Mystic Clan and sent deceived humans back to the Eastern Continent.
• Lin Tian emerged from seclusion and sent Ghost Chariot a Dao beacon granting him access to two Primordial Worlds for cultivation resources.

Lin Tian emerged from seclusion, gave the Little Beast Emperor access to two Great Dao Primordial Worlds, and summoned Chiyou. After hearing Chiyou's worries about Nine Phoenixes and the Witch Clan, Lin Tian declared that Chiyou could become the twelfth Ancestral Witch and return to the Central Continent.

• Lin Tian observed that the Little Beast Emperor's Thunder Beast Temple had sheltered the divided Yu Qing Yuanshi in peace for millions of years.
• Lin Tian sent two Great Dao Seeds and the coordinates of their Primordial Worlds to the Little Beast Emperor, who thanked his master.
• Lin Tian turned his attention to Chiyou, whose alliance with Nine Phoenixes had left the Great Shaman and his tribe resentful after they joined the Chiyou Tribe.
• Chiyou sensed Lin Tian's awakening and confessed that he believed he had failed to guide the Witch Clan away from the Daoist School.
• Lin Tian told Chiyou that Houtu no longer counted as an Ancestral Witch and that he could take the vacant twelfth place, then ordered him to return with Nine Phoenixes to the Central Continent.

Chiyou hesitated to leave the Human Race for the Witch Clan, so Lin Tian sent him into a Great Dao Primordial World to settle his doubts. There, Lin Tian took over the world’s Chiyou and was recognized as the thirteenth Ancestral Witch, tasked with overseeing Houtu’s tribe.

• Chiyou told Lin Tian that he feared he could not bear the responsibility of becoming an Ancestral Witch, while privately worrying about losing the Chiyou Clan’s place and resources among the Human Race.
• Lin Tian promised Chiyou an opportunity connected to the Twelve Ancestral Witches and urged him not to shrink from forging ahead.
• Chiyou dismissed Yaoli and entered seclusion, where Lin Tian’s dormant Great Dao seed activated and transported him to a Primordial World suited to him.
• Lin Tian replaced the Chiyou of that world, whose Human-Witches had risen to a position surpassing the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches named Lin Tian the thirteenth Ancestral Witch and entrusted him with overseeing the Houtu Tribe.

Lin Tian joined the Ancestral Witches in practicing the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation, taking Houtu’s place. After a hundred years, he learned to condense the formation with them, though his power and coordination still lagged behind theirs.

• Dijiang explained that the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation used twelve beings with Ancestral Witch bloodlines to manifest Pan Gu’s true body.
• Zhurong showed Lin Tian the concealed training ground and pointed out the Witch Clan’s treasury.
• Dijiang assigned Lin Tian to the twelfth platform to replace Houtu, and the Ancestral Witches began practicing the formation with him.
• Lin Tian contributed little to the first formation, then improved his coordination and power during a second attempt.
• Lin Tian and the Ancestral Witches practiced for a hundred years, until he could condense the formation with them, though his contribution remained weaker.

After completing another rehearsal of the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation, Lin Tian returned to his tribe and decided to strengthen the formation by refining its supreme treasures, the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners. He obtained the Yuqing Artifact Refining Method through the Great Dao System and began using its assistance to comprehend it quickly.

• Lin Tian coordinated with the Ancestral Witches during their final formation rehearsal, and Dijiang praised his progress before they returned to their tribes.
• Back in Li Li Hall, Lin Tian considered how to strengthen the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation and realized that refining its Baleful God Banners could amplify it and let him use it if the Ancestral Witches fell.
• Lin Tian used the Great Dao System to obtain the Yuqing Artifact Refining Method, which granted artifact-refining attainments comparable to those of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
• Because he lacked time to study the method in seclusion, Lin Tian chose the system's costly assistance and watched an illusory scene of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable refining treasures.

Lin Tian mastered the Yuqing Artifact Refining Method by practicing more than a thousand times in a simulated Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s body. He then sought Dijiang’s permission to use Witch Clan treasury materials to forge the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners, and Dijiang agreed.

• Lin Tian entered the simulated Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s body and practiced refining treasures, gradually grasping the Yuqing Artifact Refining Method.
• After more than a thousand attempts, Lin Tian fully comprehended the method, returned to his own body, and felt mentally exhausted.
• Lin Tian decided to seek materials from the Witch Clan Treasury to forge the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners and strengthen the Grand Formation.
• Lin Tian visited Dijiang at the Pan Gu Hall and explained his plan to make the banners.
• Dijiang trusted Lin Tian and ordered someone to take him to the treasury to find the needed materials.

Lin Tian searched the Witch Clan Treasury and collected the materials needed to refine the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners. Back in the Nine Li Grand Hall, he entered the Great Dao System to find a suitable cauldron.

• Dijiang gave Lin Tian access to the Witch Clan Treasury and asked him to conduct another formation drill after refining the banners.
• Lin Tian found Chaos Spirit Iron and fierce beast essence blood, completing his collection of the required materials.
• Lin Tian left for the Jiuli Tribe, while the treasury guards discussed his status as the Witch Clan's thirteenth Ancestral Witch and his defeat of Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
• Lin Tian returned to the Nine Li Grand Hall and entered the Great Dao System to shop for a cauldron.
• Lin Tian considered the Dragon-Head Cauldron but rejected it as insufficient for refining the banners.

Lin Tian redeemed the Purple-Gold Cauldron and spent several months refining the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Flags, which amplified the formation's power. He brought the finished flags to Pan Gu Hall, where the Ancestral Witches were astonished by them.

• Lin Tian redeemed the Purple-Gold Cauldron for five hundred million evolution points and began refining the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Flags.
• Lin Tian spent several months refining the twelve flags, whose killing intent and shared laws made them especially suited to the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation.
• Lin Tian traveled to Pan Gu Hall, where the other eleven Ancestral Witches had gathered after Dijiang told them about the flags.
• Zhurong and Xuanming urged Lin Tian to show the flags, so he revealed all twelve above the hall.
• The Ancestral Witches sensed that the flags and their rehearsed formation achieved the same marvel by different means, and they were astonished.

Lin Tian tested the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners with the Ancestral Witches and proved they greatly strengthened the Witch Clan’s formation, prompting preparations for war with the Demon Race. The chapter then shifted to Xihe’s grief over her sons and her estrangement from Di Jun, leaving her still hoping he would avenge them.

• Lin Tian led the Ancestral Witches in using the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Banners, and their formation grew powerful enough to threaten the Demon Race’s Celestial Star Dou Formation.
• Dijiang praised Lin Tian, warned that war with the Demon Race was approaching, and sent the Ancestral Witches back to train their troops.
• Xihe continued to grieve on the Taiyin Star after Di Jun refused to send troops against Lin Tian for killing nine of her sons.
• Changxi urged Xihe to stop crying, but Xihe explained that Di Jun feared an invasion would start a war with the Witch Clan and that she wanted him to choose to avenge their children.

Xihe told Changxi that Lin Tian was the first Human-Witch, a Quasi-Saint, and the Witch Clan’s thirteenth Ancestral Witch, making revenge for Xihe’s nine sons difficult. Changxi secretly left the Taiyin Star after asking whether Xihe’s Taiyin Formation could suppress a Quasi-Saint, while Lin Tian entered seclusion and raised his primordial spirit to the Quasi-Saint realm.

• Xihe explained Lin Tian’s origins and strength to Changxi, including his victory over Eastern Emperor Taiyi and his protection by the Witch Clan.
• Changxi asked whether Xihe could use the Taiyin Formation to suppress a Quasi-Saint, and Xihe said it could trap even a peak Quasi-Saint.
• Changxi concealed her intentions from Xihe and vanished from the Taiyin Star.
• Lin Tian entered the Great Dao Space to study his Ancestral Witch body and advance his primordial spirit.
• Lin Tian discovered that his hidden apertures could hold power comparable to small worlds, then set their cultivation aside for later.
• Lin Tian cultivated with the Chaos Dao Scripture and successfully advanced his primordial spirit to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Lin Tian emerged from seclusion after reaching Quasi-Saint and went to the Nine Li Grand Hall. Changxi arrived at the Jiuli Tribe disguised as a mortal, intending to lure Lin Tian to the Taiyin Star for revenge, and was struck by the beauty of his hall.

• Lin Tian recognized that the karma from his actions while possessing Chiyou's body would belong to Chiyou and assessed his new strength and hidden trump cards.
• Lin Tian ended his seclusion and headed toward the Nine Li Grand Hall.
• Changxi surveyed the Jiuli Tribe and planned to lure Lin Tian to the Taiyin Star, where she and Xihe could trap him in the Taiyin Formation.
• Changxi concealed her cultivation, disguised herself as a mortal woman, and endured a difficult journey to the Jiuli Tribe.
• Changxi reached the Nine Li Grand Hall, admired its flowers and crystal construction, and remarked on its beauty.

Changxi disguised herself as a mortal named Chang'e and entered the Nine Li Grand Hall to approach Lin Tian. She asked him to avenge a Human Race tribe, while Lin Tian recognized her identity and stayed wary of her scheme.

• Changxi fooled a guard into escorting her through the Nine Li Grand Hall's defenses to meet Lin Tian.
• Changxi saw Lin Tian and relaxed after realizing he did not resemble the demons' rumors about him.
• Changxi introduced herself as Chang'e and tearfully asked Lin Tian to save the Human Race.
• Lin Tian recognized Chang'e as the Taiyin goddess Changxi and suspected she had come to scheme against him.
• Changxi claimed demons had slaughtered her tribe and killed her father, asking Lin Tian to uphold justice.

Changxi stayed at the Jiuli Tribe under the name Chang'e, while Lin Tian watched her closely and tried to discern her motives. She brought him Ten-Thousand-Year Osmanthus Brew, leaving him poised to drink wine potent enough to intoxicate even a Quasi-Saint for years.

• Lin Tian agreed to let Changxi remain in the Nine Li Grand Hall after she claimed monsters had driven her from her tribe.
• Several dozen days later, Chang'e told Lin Tian she had settled in and enjoyed the Human-Witches' hospitality.
• Chang'e said she had brewed osmanthus wine and left the hall to fetch it, while Lin Tian questioned her story.
• Chang'e returned with two jars of Ten-Thousand-Year Osmanthus Brew from Taiyin Star and urged Lin Tian to finish a jar once opened.
• Chang'e unsealed the wine, filling the hall with its fragrance, and Lin Tian asked whether it truly could not be stored after opening.

Lin Tian let Chang'e believe her Osmanthus Wine had made him drunk, then used their days together to absorb her powerful Taiyin energy and bind the events to the Spirit Vine True Self. When Chang'e realized he had known her plan all along and attacked him, Lin Tian overwhelmed her, forcing her to flee.

• Lin Tian drank Chang'e's Osmanthus Wine and watched her dance while concealing that he knew she was trying to lure him.
• Chang'e brought Lin Tian to his room, where they spent several days together and her Taiyin Power refined his magical power.
• Lin Tian linked the history and fate of the events to the Spirit Vine True Self, while Chang'e discovered he had never been unaware of her plan.
• Chang'e drew her Jade Sword and attacked Lin Tian in fury, but he struck her out of the grand hall.
• Changxi recognized that she was no match for Lin Tian and fled to save her life.
