Li Boyang grew from an unusual infant into a young spirit-worker as he learned to control his Sword Pill and Sha Qi while the black mist spread. Xiluo brought him and Big Girl to the Mountain God Temple to seek his help against the evil ghost in Black Cloud Marsh.
Li Boyang used the Nine Chapters on the Secrets of Divination and the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron to confront You Xiao and the Ghost King, awakening a Primordial Spirit in the battle. Afterward, he continued his experiments with cultivation and improved crops while keeping the Big Black Dog imprisoned and bearing Ruifu’s curse through his shadow.
Li Boyang developed a formation to nourish Li Jingshu before helping resist the Roaring Heaven Clan during Nüman’s battle against the Guirong Clan. Granny died, displaced mountain folk sought shelter, and Li Boyang and Deception Rabbit began considering an attack on the Guifang Kingdom to secure grain and rescue Nüman’s divine soul.
Li Boyang defeated the Gods of the Five Directions, advanced his cultivation, and helped secure the mountain folk’s future while the village prospered. After he uncovered a fox’s scheme at the reservoir, Yue arrived at Li Household Village hunting the fox and began fighting its defenders.
Li Boyang uncovered the Seven-Tailed Fox’s sacrifice in Mountain Hollow Village, defeated the fox and the land tortoise, and learned that the Witch King had taken control of Yue’s body. The arc left Li Boyang facing the Witch King as he tried to stop Yue from killing a pregnant villager.
Li Boyang strengthened Mountain Hollow Village, developed Talisman Seal Script, and helped Li Jingshu and Yue find their paths. As Qingfu pursued Deception Rabbit over the Green Wood Clan’s oracle, Deception Rabbit fought the clan’s god and lost control of his dragon form, leaving Li Boyang to intervene.
Li Boyang defeated the Green Wood Clan deity and prepared for a coming flood while You Chong, Big Black Dog, and the ghost gods set off a crisis at Flying Peak. The Heaven-Eroding Lord emerged, bringing darkness, cold, and catastrophic floods across the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Guifang Kingdom, and the Huai River.
Li Boyang confronted the Heavenly Dog, explained the Celestial Person path, and turned to repairing Flying Peak and containing the floods. As Wuzhiqi challenged him and the water gods attacked the villages, Qiwa, Yan Xiaojun, and Li Jingshu helped defend the people, while Li Boyang recruited a one-horned water god and returned to Li Household Village.
Li Boyang reshaped Yunmeng Marsh and helped the Heaven-Eroding Lord turn Huoji’s flood campaign into a counterattack against Wuzhiqi. As the battle intensified, Li Boyang prepared to awaken Roaring Heaven Clan and use it against the gods who destroyed the Guifang Kingdom.
Li Boyang defeated Wuzhiqi and continued reshaping the Hundred Lands Mountain Range as its communities, gods, and technologies developed around him. Wu Yi saw the region’s transformation firsthand, while Xuan Ta’s skeleton stirred on Bronze Island and absorbed the Essence Qi of a vast bronze tree.
Li Boyang confronted Wu Yi as Yin Fei’s death transformed the coming tribulation into a cataclysm aimed at the gods. Wu Yi severed Heaven and Earth, while Li Boyang steadied the ensuing chaos and set out to pursue Wu Yi’s scattered spirits.
As the South Sea floods devastated the Hundred Lands, Li Boyang organized a relief effort while new innate deities were born and Rain Master revealed how to stop the rising seas. The arc left Li Jingshu fighting the Night-Wandering Gods as Youguang and Guitong targeted the reinforcements’ Human-Faced Fish.
Li Boyang defeated Buyan Huyu’s scheme, sealed the South Sea’s sea eye within the Mutton-Fat Jade Purifying Vase, and altered Buyan Huyu’s fate. As the mountain folk built new lives and cultivation paths, Lady Bagui settled among them while Xiluo tested Yin Fei’s feather robe.
Li Boyang faced Wu Xian’s attempt to reclaim Kunwu while Wu Ji and Wu Luo invaded Yunmeng Marsh, and the conflict ended with Kunwu choosing to remain at Flying Peak. After Jinjiao captured Long Jikui, Lingguzi uncovered the secret behind the immortality medicine, and Li Boyang stopped Wu Peng from taking Lady Bagui.
Li Boyang completed the Elixir of Immortality and transformed Kunwu into the Sea-Calming Cauldron’s master, while the mountain communities struggled to protect three-eyed children and expand their institutions. The arc ended with Li Boyang, Xiluo, and the Deception Rabbit confronting Wu Zhen after she attacked Xuansu Shi.
Li Boyang defeated Wu Zhen, helped Xuansu Shi and the Deception Rabbit face the danger surrounding their child, and set out with Azure Bird to seek the Immortality Herb in Kunlun Guixu. In the ruined Heavenly Emperor’s Capital, he uncovered Gouxing’s memories and learned that fragments of Wu Yao’s soul were scattered among the Guhuo Birds that had devoured her.
Li Boyang refined himself into an Elixir of Immortality, subdued the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant, and built new systems for the mountain people. The Heaven-Eroding Lord pursued Soul Jades while Flower Mantis fought Xiang Yao, and Li Boyang began questioning Xiang about his betrayal of Gong Gong.
Fuyou joined the Six Witches of Kaiming in a plan to resurrect Kang Hui by sacrificing the Black Teeth Kingdom, while Li Boyang prepared to confront the catastrophe surrounding the Soul Jade and the Yin World. Divine Lord Meng Zhang and Red Serpent disrupted the ritual, leaving Meng Zhang confronting Fuyou over the plague.
Li Boyang stopped the collision of the Yin and Yang Worlds and reshaped their afterlife, cultivation, and timeline systems while bringing Wu Yao back to life. The story left him pursuing a new age of change, with Fengdu operating and aerial communication networks under development.
Li Boyang and his family weathered the moon’s surge of Emperor Flow Pulp as he drew the newborn Three-Legged Golden Toad into his realm and made it a moon. In Startled Spirit Valley, Li Jingshu encountered her future nephew Li Xuandu and the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, which later appeared in his hand and urged him to inherit Dayi’s archery.
