Hongyun awakened at Wuzhuang Temple and told Zhenyuanzi he had comprehended the Great Dao of Auspicious Fortune, which might offer him a chance at sainthood if he survived a dangerous tribulation. After Hongyun departed for the Primordial Continent, Guiyuan realized that Hongyun’s path could let the Heavenly Dao control the Human Dao’s fortune, though he wondered why Hongyun had gained this power.

• Hongyun emerged from enlightenment and told Zhenyuanzi he had comprehended the Great Dao of Auspicious Fortune and learned the chance for his sainthood.

• Guiyuan considered how the Star Mirror would help the Human Race draw Star Power and saw the conflict with the Heavenly Court becoming a Tribulation of War on Heaven.
• Guiyuan realized Hongyun’s command of fortune could help the Heavenly Dao suppress the Human Dao and questioned why Hongjun had given him that path.

Guiyuan used Siming’s power to investigate Hongyun’s grasp of the Great Dao of Auspicious Fortune and the possible remnants of the Destiny Demon God. Hongyun laid a vast trap near Huoyun Cave and revealed himself as bait, drawing Rogue Cultivators and the attention of great cultivators and the Heavenly Court.

• Guiyuan reasoned that Hongyun lacked the foundation to become a Saint and considered whether the Destiny Demon God’s remnants could be behind his grasp of auspicious fortune.

• Old Ancestor Qingyun warned Hongyun that the area was sealed, and a mid-stage Quasi-Saint offered to spare his life if he surrendered the Primordial Violet Qi.

Hongyun sprang his Red Sand Great Formation on the Rogue Cultivators who sought his Primordial Violet Qi, slaughtering nearly all the weaker cultivators before the thirty Quasi-Saints could break free. As Hongyun and his counterparts attacked the remaining Quasi-Saints, an unseen force of mountains and rivers suppressed their magical power, prompting Hongyun to call out to an unidentified Dao Brother.

• Old Ancestor Qingyun rejected Hongyun’s attempt to sow discord and ordered the thirty Quasi-Saints and their followers to attack him.
• Hongyun activated the Red Sand Great Formation, trapping the Rogue Cultivators across ten million li and turning their attacks aside.

Guiyuan used Siming to trace the karmic scheme behind Red Cloud’s enlightenment and deduced that Hongjun and the Two Sages of the West might arrange for Red Cloud to die and return through Reincarnation linked to the Destiny Demon God. He saw how Zhenyuanzi and Di Jun could factor into the plan, but the chapter left him wondering how to stop it.

• Guiyuan used Siming and his authority as the Holy Father of the Human Race to examine the Primordial World’s fortunes and trace Red Cloud’s karma to Hongjun, Zhunti, and Jieyin.
• Guiyuan reasoned that Hongjun might use Red Cloud’s Primordial Violet Qi and the karma owed by the Two Sages of the West to make them help Red Cloud attain sainthood.
• Guiyuan deduced that the plan could involve Red Cloud’s death, Zhenyuanzi sending him into Reincarnation, and Zhunti and Jieyin reconnecting his karma with the Destiny Demon God’s remains.
• Guiyuan concluded that Hongjun’s scheme might exploit the Earthly Dao and account for both Zhenyuanzi and Di Jun, but he did not yet know how to stop it.

Guiyuan decided that finding the Destiny Demon God's remnant body and mastering the Law of Destiny could prevent Hongyun from taking control of the Great Dao of Auspicious Fortune. He asked Linglong to obtain the Minor Destiny Technique, and she went to the Feathered Ascension Sect to meet Fang Qingxue.

• Guiyuan reasoned that he needed to find the Destiny Demon God's remnant body before Hongyun could use it to seize control of the Great Dao of Auspicious Fortune.

• Linglong asked Feng Baiyu to arrange a meeting with Fang Qingxue, who welcomed them at Purple Lightning Palace.

• Fang Qingxue began studying the inheritances while Immortal Venerable Linglong returned to Linglong Blessed Land and comprehended the Minor Destiny Technique.

• The Karma Demon God attacked Guiyuan with karmic threads that reached back through his past, but Guiyuan's Primordial Chaos Turtle Shell dispersed them.

• Hongjun sensed Pangu's return from Zixiao Palace and recognized that Pangu's presence threatened his unfinished scheme.

• Pingxin sensed Guiyuan’s powerful aura in the Cave Heaven World and suspected his actions were connected to Hongyun, reincarnation, and a scheme against the Human Dao.
• The Two Sages of the West stayed hidden rather than risk opposing the axe strike attributed to Pangu.
• The Karma Demon God used Reverse Cause and Effect to survive Guiyuan’s axe strike, though its body was badly damaged.
• Guiyuan observed the demon god’s technique and derived the Great Karma Technique while the demon god believed it had endured his strongest attack.

Guiyuan challenged Yuanshi Tianzun in Chaos after Yuanshi tried to stop him from interfering in the struggle over Hongyun’s Primordial Violet Qi. As the two faced off, the Demon Clan moved toward the primordial world, while Zhu Jiuyin’s deductions suggested Yuanshi was strongly favored but Guiyuan still had a chance to win.

• Di Jiang confirmed that Di Xuan had reached the seventh transformation and could contend with the Great Star Array of the Heavens, then left a divine ability to observe Guiyuan and Yuanshi’s battle.

Guiyuan fought Yuanshi in Chaos, using his Great Vows, Fist of the End, and God-Slaying Spear against Yuanshi’s seals and Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Guiyuan wounded Yuanshi but was forced back, and the battle left him newly aware of the gap between a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal and a Saint as he began comprehending Yuanshi’s Dao.

Guiyuan’s clash with Yuanshi revealed his ability to contend with a Saint, while the other Saints and the Ancestral Witches reconsidered his growing influence. By combining lotus powers, Pangu Essence Blood, and a Dao Fruit, Guiyuan manifested the Primordial Heavenly King and prepared to strike Yuanshi.

• The powers of several lotuses merged behind Guiyuan into an Azure Lotus, which drew in a Dao Fruit from the future.
• Guiyuan added Pangu Essence Blood to the lotus and manifested the Primordial Heavenly King, challenging Yuanshi to face it.

Guiyuan used the Primordial Heavenly King's Dharma Appearance to reveal a boundless world that showed Yuanshi a new path beyond his Heavenly Dao constraints, then defeated him with its power. Yuanshi acknowledged his loss, promised to repay Guiyuan’s karmic debt, and returned to Kunlun Mountain to comprehend the Dao he had glimpsed.

• Guiyuan combined the Primordial Heavenly King's Dharma Appearance with Chaos Axe Light and opened a boundless world that contained the laws and paths of the Primordial World.

• Guiyuan’s world shattered Yuanshi’s defenses and body, forcing him to reappear with a greatly weakened aura as blood rain spread across the Primordial World.

• Yuanshi flew back to Kunlun Mountain to comprehend his newly revealed path, while Guiyuan dismissed the Primordial Heavenly King's Dharma Appearance and returned the God-Slaying Spear to his Nascent Soul.

Guiyuan retrieved the Destiny Remnant after defeating Yuanshi, whose death shocked the other Saints and the Primordial Continent. Tongtian and Zhunti watched the battle’s aftermath and were left wondering whether Guiyuan had mastered the Three Pure Ones’ Daos or was Pangu reincarnated.

• Guiyuan returned to the Cave Heaven World, stored the Destiny Remnant, and reflected that his accumulated gains could help his Heavenly Flower Dao Seed bear Dao Fruit.
• Di Jun and Taiyi witnessed the blood rain marking Yuanshi’s death, reviewed the battle, and struggled to understand how Guiyuan had defeated him.
