Chapter Summaries

Sui established the Heavenly Stems by studying Jupiter’s cycles, prompting Jupiter’s hidden Primordial Violet Qi to descend toward the Human Race. Di Jun’s Heavenly Court array clashed with Nuwa’s power over the Human Dao, and Nuwa went to Chaos to confront Hongjun, leaving Guiyuan behind.

• Sui realized that Jupiter’s cycles and Yin-Yang principles could define the Heavenly Stems, then announced his system and received Nuwa’s approval.
• Guiyuan activated his Star Seal, causing Jupiter’s power and the hidden Primordial Violet Qi to descend toward the East Sea coast.
• Di Jun, Xi He, and Taiyi formed the Great Star Array of the Heavens to pull Jupiter’s power back, while Nuwa used Creation and Human Dao power to oppose them.
• Yuqing and Shangqing suspected Hongjun had guided Di Jun’s actions and chose not to intervene.
• Hongjun’s power shattered Nuwa’s suppression and halted Jupiter, so Nuwa challenged him to battle in Chaos and left Guiyuan to handle matters in the Heavenly Court.

Guiyuan, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taizhen joined forces to break Kunpeng’s Primordial Chaos River Luo Great Array as Di Jun attacked Taizhen during the battle. Di Jun then redirected the Star Dou Array’s power to Kunpeng, who surged in strength and charged toward Taizhen.

• Guiyuan struck the Great Star Array of the Heavens with a Heaven-Opening Divine Axe phantom, breaking its power and letting Jupiter descend again.
• Di Jun ordered Kunpeng to use the River Diagram and Luo Book to unleash the Primordial Chaos River Luo Great Array against Taizhen at West Kunlun.
• Guiyuan’s Mountains and Rivers Geography Map slowed Kunpeng’s attack, while Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taizhen joined in to suppress the array.
• Guiyuan used Eternal Stillness of Heaven and Earth to combine the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Dao powers and further dismantle the Primordial Chaos River Luo Great Array.
• Di Jun stopped holding Jupiter back and channeled the Star Dou Array’s power into Kunpeng, whose aura rose to the peak of Quasi-Saint and who charged toward Taizhen.

Guiyuan battled Kunpeng and Taiyi to stop them from killing Taizhen. After Guiyuan used the God-Slaying Spear to erase Kunpeng across his past traces, the story left Taiyi still advancing on Taizhen.

• Guiyuan struck Taiyi’s Eastern Emperor Bell aside and used several Spiritual Treasures to hold off Kunpeng’s empowered attack on Taizhen.
• The Great Star Array of the Heavens shifted its power from Kunpeng to Taiyi, whose aura briefly reached Hunyuan as he charged toward Taizhen.
• Guiyuan summoned the God-Slaying Spear and used the Three Borrowings Divine Ability to send its attack toward Kunpeng while rushing to West Kunlun.
• The God-Slaying Spear pierced Kunpeng’s defenses and destroyed his true body, while the River of Time and River of Destiny erased his traces across the past.
• Heaven and earth mourned Kunpeng’s death, and Yuqing and the others realized that Kunpeng had fallen.

Guiyuan used the God-Slaying Spear to kill Kunpeng and struck Taiyi back into the Heavenly Court, then confronted Di Jun over his attack on Taizhen. As the God-Slaying Spear’s identity was revealed, Di Jiang arrived with Pangu’s Physical Body to threaten the Heavenly Court.

• Taizhen’s Golden Ao Armor blocked Taiyi’s Eastern Emperor Bell long enough for Guiyuan to reach him and protect him with the Turtle Shell Celebratory Cloud.
• Guiyuan invoked the power of his vows and struck Taiyi with a Chaos Axe Light, sending him back into the Heavenly Court.
• Guiyuan summoned the God-Slaying Spear and revealed that Kunpeng had been its first victim, while Taiyi and Di Jun raged over Kunpeng’s death.
• Yuqing and Shangqing condemned Di Jun’s renewed attack, and Jieyin identified the spear as Demon Ancestor Luohu’s weapon, which had shattered Kunpeng’s True Spirit.
• Di Jiang appeared with Pangu’s Physical Body and challenged Di Jun, dismissing his warning about Hongjun’s decree.

Nuwa ended the Heavenly Court battle and explained why Di Jun’s schemes had failed, while Guiyuan asked her about the Reincarnation Hall and the wider worlds. The chapter left Guiyuan seeking to understand Nuwa’s true realm and the forces beyond his own world.

• Nuwa appeared, restored the damage from the battle, and ordered Di Jun and the Witches to stop fighting; Heaven declared Kunpeng’s death to be his destined tribulation.
• Di Jun and Taiyi withdrew as the Heavenly Wedding ended in heavy losses for the Heavenly Court, while news spread that Nuwa had gained the upper hand over Hongjun.
• At Wa Huang Palace, Nuwa told Guiyuan that Di Jun’s actions against Jupiter and Taizhen had provoked the crisis, and that Hongjun’s injury had delayed his Dao Integration.
• Guiyuan asked Nuwa about the Reincarnation Hall, and she explained that Reincarnators could learn about worlds from similar worlds influenced by the same Heaven.
• Nuwa warned Guiyuan not to attack the Reincarnation Hall yet because such forces were often tied to a Heavenly Dao among the Seven Stars of the Worlds; Guiyuan then asked what realm her true body had reached.

Guiyuan reflected on Nuwa’s invitation to visit a more powerful Primordial World, then analyzed the Reincarnation Pearl and warned the Chat Group about the Reincarnation Hall. He set off through the Gate of Taiyi to deal with the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World.

• Guiyuan recalled Nuwa’s Eight Stars of the Worlds strength and her invitation to travel with her to a more powerful Primordial World after the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation.
• Guiyuan began refining Kunpeng’s Nest and his cracked Golden Ao Armor into a new Spiritual Treasure called Guiyuan Palace.
• Guiyuan used the Reincarnation Pearl to deduce that the Reincarnation Hall gathered similar worlds to strengthen itself and replace their Heavenly Dao.
• Guiyuan told the Chat Group about the Reincarnation Hall and warned members to watch for Reincarnators in several worlds.
• Guiyuan entered the Gate of Taiyi and departed for the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World.

After witnessing Guiyuan’s power, Taiqing went to the Human Ancestral Land and asked to teach the Human Race an Immortal Dao. Guiyuan approved, but insisted on observing Taiqing’s teaching, leaving Taiqing poised to establish the Human Teaching under Guiyuan’s scrutiny.

• Yuqing and Shangqing concluded that they needed to become saints to contend with Guiyuan, and Yuqing noticed Taiqing was missing.
• Yuqing recalled seeing a Human Race member master the Law of Time after absorbing Jupiter’s power, Heavenly Dao Merit, and Human Dao Sacred Virtue.
• Taiqing observed Sui teaching the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches, and Yuan recognized him as the Great Immortal Taiqing.
• Taiqing realized the path to sainthood led through teaching the Human Race and asked Yuan for permission to pass down the Immortal Dao.
• Yuan brought Guiyuan’s Spirit Body to Taiqing, and Guiyuan agreed to the teaching while asking to listen in.

Taiqing expounded the Golden Core Dao to the Human Race, while Guiyuan clarified his teachings and helped more humans understand them. Taiqing established the Human Teaching and received Heavenly Dao approval, but the Human Dao withheld its recognition, leaving his path to Sagehood incomplete.

• Taiqing raised a Dao Platform and began teaching the Human Race his Golden Core cultivation method.
• Guiyuan supplemented Taiqing’s explanations, deepening the Human Race’s understanding and refining the Dao in his own mind.
• As humans cultivated successfully and honored Taiqing, their faith gathered in his Celebratory Cloud, and the Human Race’s Fortune Golden Dragon appeared.
• Taiqing established the Human Teaching and received vast Heavenly Dao Merit, but his Three Corpses did not merge.
• Taiqing sought the Human Dao’s approval, but despite Wa Huang’s assent, the Human Dao withheld its recognition, and Taiqing realized Guiyuan had not acknowledged him.

Guiyuan gave Taiqing a method to borrow Human Dao Sacred Virtue, and Taiqing became a Saint by vowing to guide and protect the Human Race. Yuqing and Tongtian then founded their own teachings and attained sainthood by following sharply different paths.

• Guiyuan gave Taiqing the Method of Great Vows and explained that he must borrow Human Dao Sacred Virtue to gain the Human Race’s recognition.
• Taiqing swore vows to shelter, teach, and empower the Human Race, then became a Saint after lecturing them on the Dao.
• Taiqing urged Yuqing and Shangqing to found teachings and involve the Human Race so they could borrow Sacred Virtue and gain a chance to break free.
• Yuqing founded the Chan Sect in accordance with Heaven and attained sainthood through Heavenly Dao Merit, rejecting Taiqing’s advice.
• Tongtian founded the Jie Sect, vowed to teach all beings and seek a thread of opportunity for them, and became a Saint through both Heavenly Dao Merit and Human Dao Sacred Virtue.

As the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood, Guiyuan considered how their different paths and Taiqing’s ties to the Human Race had changed the Primordial World. The Witch Clan used the moment to summon Pangu’s Physical Body, and Hongjun realized Nuwa might have arranged the timing.

• Endless spiritual energy became rain, and the Primordial World flourished as the Three Pure Ones’ sainthood filled Heaven and Earth with Dao Rhyme.
• Guiyuan reflected on Nuwa’s plans, the Human Race’s growing power, and how Taiqing’s borrowed Holy Virtue bound him to the Human Race.
• Three Saints emerged in one day, leaving only the Two Westerners among the Heavenly Dao Saints designated by Hongjun who had yet to attain sainthood.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Array at the Foot of Buzhou Mountain, and Di Jiang drew the Three Pure Ones’ Dao Rhyme into Pangu’s Physical Body.
• Pangu’s Physical Body spoke, and Hongjun recognized Pangu’s aura before suspecting that Nuwa had arranged for the Witch Clan to summon him at that moment.

As the Three Pure Ones became Saints, Houtu used the Witch Clan’s array to draw Reincarnation from the Netherworld, with Guiyuan realizing Nuwa may have arranged events behind the scenes. Houtu brought forth an incomplete Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, and Laozi warned that the weakening Houtu Divine Body risked being crushed by the will of heaven and earth.

• The Three Pure Ones became Saints, and Pangu’s Physical Body absorbed their Dao Rhyme and transformed with Spirituality.
• Guiyuan suspected Nuwa had arranged the Witch Clan’s preparations and went to the Nether Blood Sea as Houtu arrived.
• Houtu thanked Guiyuan for his guidance, then split open the Blood Sea and revealed the hidden Netherworld to the assembled Great Divine Ability Users.
• Houtu entered the Netherworld and summoned the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, which appeared with only the Three Evil Paths.
• Houtu’s Divine Body began to crack under the strain, and Laozi warned that the incomplete Reincarnation could destroy her if she did not act quickly.

Houtu shattered the incomplete Reincarnation Disk and transformed her body to establish reincarnation, while Hongjun tried to stop her and Nuwa defended her. Houtu’s new Reincarnation Disk appeared above the Netherworld, and Guiyuan gained deeper insight into reincarnation for his Guiyuan Realm and Gate of Taiyi.

• Houtu tore the Reincarnation Disk from the Netherworld and began breaking it apart with her Laws of Reincarnation.
• Hongjun appeared and condemned Houtu’s actions, but Nuwa challenged him and warned him not to interfere; Hongjun then vanished.
• Guiyuan studied the Reincarnation Disk, deepened his understanding of reincarnation, and refined the system in his Guiyuan Realm while attempting to apply reincarnation to his Gate of Taiyi.
• The Reincarnation Disk shattered, and Houtu absorbed its reincarnation power before her Divine Body exploded and released the eleven remaining Ancestral Witches.
• Houtu vowed to transform herself into the place of reincarnation, then became a new Reincarnation Disk above the Netherworld.

Pingxin completed Reincarnation, summoned the Earthly Dao, and established the Netherworld as its realm of judgment. The chapter ended with Pingxin entrusting Nuwa, Lord of the Human Dao, with governing the lifespan of Human Dao living beings and wielding the Human Book.

• Nuwa added her Creation aura to the Reincarnation Disk, and the completed Reincarnation brought immense merit and made Primordial Heaven and Earth more perfect.
• Seventy percent of the merit went to Houtu, fifteen percent to Nuwa, five percent to Styx, and ten percent to Guiyuan; Houtu reappeared as Pingxin, surrounded by the Laws of Reincarnation.
• Pingxin declared the Earthly Dao and named herself its Lord, then established the Netherworld, including Ghost Gate Pass, Fengdu, the Six Reincarnation Bridges, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
• Pingxin transformed the Human Book into the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush and the Book of Life and Death, recording the names and fortunes of living beings.
• Pingxin appointed Nuwa to govern the lifespan of Human Dao living beings and wield the Human Book.

Nuwa entrusted Guiyuan with the Book of Life and Death, the Reincarnation Brush, and the Human Lamp to judge the lifespans and afterlives of living beings. After the Three Pure Ones objected to placing that authority in one person’s hands, Guiyuan proposed the Future Non-existent Scripture and began refining its impartial Lord of the Future.

• Nuwa returned the Human Lamp to its proper place, and it joined the Book of Life and Death and the Reincarnation Brush to draw resentful spirits into the Netherworld for judgment.
• Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Dao virtues empowered the three treasures, and Nuwa appointed Guiyuan to preside over them and judge lifespans by merit and sin.
• Yuanshi and Tongtian objected to Guiyuan controlling the lifespans of all living beings, and Guiyuan agreed that the authority should not rest with one person.
• Guiyuan introduced the Future Non-existent Scripture, which would create an impartial Lord of the Future that Hunyuan beings could supervise; the Three Pure Ones accepted the method.
• The Three Pure Ones supplied refinement materials, and Guiyuan used Samadhi True Fire to create a transparent energy that transformed into a nine-eyed figure resembling him.

Pingxin appointed Styx as Great Emperor Fengdu and sent him into Reincarnation to comprehend Karmic Force before taking up his post. She then declared that Houtu was no longer a Witch, leaving the Witch Clan without its greatest trump card as its conflict with the Demon Clan continued.

• Guiyuan gave the Lord of the Future the Qianqiu Brush, the Book of Life and Death, and the Human Lamp, and Nuwa named him Siming to govern lifespans through the Human Dao.
• Pingxin appointed Styx as Great Emperor Fengdu, granted him Primordial Violet Qi, and charged him with governing souls and punishing sins in the Netherworld.
• Pingxin said Styx had to enter Reincarnation to comprehend Karmic Force before he could assume his position, and Styx entered the Reincarnation Disk after handing his treasures to the Four Great Asuras.
• Pingxin declared that Houtu was no longer a Witch and that only Pingxin, Lord of the Earthly Dao, remained, shocking the living beings who feared for the Witch Clan's strength.

Pingxin gave Di Jiang her Quintessential Blood to create another Ancestral Witch, then withdrew to govern Earth Dao Reincarnation and barred the Witch Clan from entering the Netherworld during the war. As the others prepared to leave, Jieyin and Zhunti founded Western Teachings and sought to attain sainthood, but even their doctrines and Forty-Eight Great Vows had not yet brought down enough merit.

• Pingxin gave Di Jiang a drop of her Quintessential Blood and declared that she would govern Earth Dao Reincarnation without intervening in the Witch-Demon War.
• Pingxin forbade the Witch Clan from entering the Netherworld until the Witch-Demon War ended and invited listeners to hear her preach the Dao in a thousand years.
• A Bodhi Tree appeared in the western land as Jieyin and Zhunti gathered their power, prompting Guiyuan and the other Great Divine Ability Users to watch for their attempt to become Saints.
• Jieyin and Zhunti founded Western Teachings and used the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus to suppress its Fortune, but the initial merit was insufficient for them to attain sainthood.
• Jieyin and Zhunti expounded Western Teachings' doctrines, then Jieyin made the Forty-Eight Great Vows, yet the merit still had not descended.

Zhunti and Jieyin struggled to become Saints because their Great Vows had summoned merit they could not use without Heaven Opening Merit. They finally became Saints by making ninety-nine vows across Heaven, Earth, and Man, leaving them bound to serve the Primordial Heaven and Earth as a new era of Saints began.

• The Three Pure Ones discussed how Zhunti and Jieyin might use the Method of Great Vows to become Saints despite lacking Heaven Opening Merit.
• Zhunti and Jieyin realized their first forty-eight Great Vows had failed to bring down merit, and the Primordial Violet Qi merging into their spirits had stalled.
• Zhunti made fifty-one additional Great Vows, bringing their total to ninety-nine and promising to serve the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
• Heavenly Dao Merit, Earthly Dao Yin Virtue, and Human Dao Sacred Virtue descended, allowing Zhunti and Jieyin to break through and become Saints, but their vows left them unable to act freely until they repaid their debts.
• Jieyin vowed to preach at Western Spiritual Mountain until he entered Annihilation and Nirvana, while the Great Divine Ability Users left Reincarnation and recognized the arrival of an era of Saints.

After returning to the North Sea, Guiyuan reflected on the benefits of the completed Three Paths and turned his attention to finding the Heavenly Books in the Zhu Xian World. He and Zeng Shushu reached Kong Sang Mountain and entered the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, where Zeng Shushu killed the attackers with lightning.

• Guiyuan returned from Reincarnation and found that the Primordial Continent and Four Seas had expanded and their spiritual energy had been purified.
• Zeng Shushu revealed the truth about Zhang Xiaofan’s past, leading Cangsong to confess his role in the Grass Temple Village massacre and Dao Xuan to permit Zhang Xiaofan to cultivate both Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple methods.
• Guiyuan accompanied Zeng Shushu to Kong Sang Mountain to find the first volume of the Heavenly Book in the Blood Dripping Cave.
• Zeng Shushu used the Suanni Treasure Art to destroy the black clouds emerging from the Ten Thousand Bat Cave.
• Jiang Lao San attacked Zeng Shushu, who killed him and the other attackers with lightning while Guiyuan watched.

Guiyuan and Zeng Shushu explored the Abyss of Dead Spirits, where Guiyuan explained that the world needed Reincarnation to avoid collapse. Guiyuan found a Heavenly Book passage while Zeng Shushu faced the Black Water Mysterious Snake, and the story left Guiyuan investigating the cave’s ancient statues and relics.

• Guiyuan explained that the Abyss of Dead Spirits collected souls without Reincarnation, weakening the world, and Zeng Shushu agreed that they needed to act quickly.
• Guiyuan and Zeng Shushu descended into the abyss, where Zeng Shushu blasted away dead spirits and encountered the Black Water Mysterious Snake.
• Guiyuan sensed the Heavenly Book and left Zeng Shushu to subdue the Black Water Mysterious Snake as he flew toward the cave passage.
• Guiyuan examined statues of the Demon Sect’s Heaven-Opening and Human-Creation gods and considered whether their identities involved Pangu, Nuwa, or Position Theft.
• Guiyuan found a Small Iron Box containing a Golden Bell, destroyed the box, and left the bell behind while continuing to seek the Heavenly Book.

Guiyuan comprehended the First Volume of the Heavenly Book, gained insight into Infinite Impossibility, and created the World Destroyer divine ability. Meanwhile, the Human Race faced disease and dwindling numbers as it expanded beyond the East Sea, prompting Gui to suggest asking Holy Father for help.

• Guiyuan studied the First Volume of the Heavenly Book and merged its Dao Rhyme with his fifth volume, creating the World Destroyer divine ability.
• Guiyuan realized the Heavenly Book revealed the Dao of the End and Infinite Impossibility, and decided to seek another volume from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury before claiming the Zhu Xian World.
• Guiyuan sensed a trace of Infinite Impossibility from the Zhu Xian World and considered how it might help him obtain the Positional Status of Spiritual Treasure.
• A report told Yuan that newborns were dying of dysentery after the Human Race expanded beyond the East Sea and ate Demon Clan creatures from outside it.
• Gui worried that the Human Race's casualties would weaken its future potential and suggested asking Holy Father for a solution.
