Jiang Yuu reflected on his repeated attempts to create a world that could reach transcendence, then restarted Heavenly Land once more. In this iteration, the Initial Era ended with the gods withdrawing from a devastating war, and the Spirit Era began.

• The Multiverse’s powers dismantled the Holiness Order and suppressed the Holy System, leaving ordinary people to suffer under the Age of Eternal Night.
• Jiang Yuu reviewed thousands of failed versions of Heavenly Land and concluded that he had to begin creation again by molding the Wild Giants himself.
• During the Initial Era, Suoertan declared war on the gods to consolidate divine power, and the conflict split Heavenly Land into seven continents and formed six great oceans.
• Jiang Yuu stripped Suoertan and two other gods of their God-King authority, prompting the gods to withdraw from the war and form alliances that became the later pantheons.
• The Spirit Era began, and the gods started using faith to awaken favored races and help them build civilizations.

Jiang Yuu created over a hundred Stone People and sent them to the Aip People in the southern Ouri Continent’s river valley. He charged the newcomers with joining the Aip People and bringing them the name “Human Race.”

• The Aip People grew into a distinct race and formed tribes throughout a long, resource-rich river valley in the south of the Ouri Continent.

• Jiang Yuu shaped more than a hundred humanoid figures from rock and brought them to life with creation and humanity.
• Jiang Yuu directed the Stone People to join the Aip People and begin a new stage of civilization by giving them the name Human Race.

Jiang Yuu’s Rock People transformed the Aip into humans, whose growing civilization attracted the gods and spread across the Ouri Continent. After wars and alliances reshaped the lands, four major races established their pantheons, each led by a Greater God.

• Jiang Yuu’s Rock People joined the Aip, renamed them the Human Race, and helped them build River Valley City and develop their civilization.
• Moweidina discovered humanity and, with Mosela, Waxilun, and Moluosi, helped establish four knight systems and spread human settlements across the continent.

• Humans expanded across central and southern Ouri, and the Human, Elf, Half-Orc, and Dwarf pantheons formed under Waxilun, Anweinuoya, Suoertan, and Balen.

Jiang Yuu watched civilization and the pantheons flourish as new races, gods, and realms emerged, but the growing power of faith began to threaten the gods’ wills. After the gods tried various ways to manage it, Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina discovered that a complex divine kingdom could harness faith without its corrupting effects and even strengthen her.

• Jiang Yuu observed that the world’s history had changed course and that civilization and the pantheons were flourishing.
• As human populations grew, gods across the pantheons gathered humans as believers, and some abducted them into other worlds.
• New gods, subsidiary realms, transcendent systems, and Legendary mortals arose as the world became more complex.
• The immense power of faith began to twist the gods’ wills, forcing them to seek ways to use it safely.
• Suoertan, Xiruiya, Kailunse, Waxilun, Mosela, Balen, and Ansaixi tried different methods, producing Berserkers, War Priests, demigods, and other results.
• Moweidina discovered that constructing a complex divine kingdom could safely use the power of faith and increase her strength.

The gods’ accumulated memories of countless cycles broke through the World Source’s seal, driving them mad and unleashing destruction across the world. As Jiang Yuu prepared to reset the world, Moweidina’s newly built Divine Kingdom caught his attention, and she pleaded with him not to give up on this cycle.

• Jiang Yuu noticed Moweidina waiting for him in her Divine Kingdom in the high heavens.
• Moweidina knelt before the Creation Fire Seed and asked the Creator not to give up on this cycle.

As the gods went mad and devastated the world, Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina remained lucid in her Divine Kingdom and used memories from past cycles to understand why the Creator repeatedly reset the world. Believing she could persuade him to spare this world, she summoned him, and he appeared before her.

• Moweidina watched the maddened gods destroy cities, landscapes, and civilizations while mortals sacrificed themselves to save others.
• As hatred and death deepened the gods' madness, the Blood Moon Goddess and the beings of the World of Darkness also succumbed, leaving Moweidina seemingly alone in her lucidity.
• Moweidina sorted through the memories of past Goddesses of Wisdom and realized that the Creator had repeatedly intervened in different cycles to change what caused the world's destruction.
• Moweidina decided the Creator wanted the world to endure and believed she could convince him not to reset it, but she wondered how to reach him.
• Moweidina knelt before the Creation Fire Seed and begged the Creator to descend, and he appeared in her Divine Kingdom.

Moweidina met with Jiang Yuu and urged him to stop destroying and resetting the world, arguing that it could be saved and reborn repeatedly. Jiang Yuu agreed to consider halting the reset if her plan could work and asked her how she intended to save the world.

Moweidina persuaded Jiang Yuu to let mortals become gods so they could fight the maddened gods, but he made the world’s survival depend on her carrying the deadly Creation Fire Seed to earth. After writing down a method for mortals to ascend, she prepared to take the seed, and Jiang Yuu offered her a chance to leave the world and become his world-creating helper instead.

• Moweidina told the survivors that gods could die and that she could no longer protect them.
• She revealed that the Creation Fire Seed would break the barrier between mortals and gods, then inscribed the general Path to Godhood and five paths tied to civilization and life.

• The Creation Fire Seed burned Moweidina away and spread countless Fire Seeds into the earth, giving every mortal the possibility of ascending to godhood.
• The grieving survivors rose, vowed to ascend to godhood, exile the Old Gods, and spread the Fire Seed and the Paths to Godhood.

Moweidina, reborn after sacrificing herself to bring the Fire Seed to mortals, saw them gain hope and the chance to ascend to godhood. The Creator brought her to the Land of Truth and granted her the Wings of Truth, charging her with helping maintain the world’s cycle of ruin and rebirth.
