Arc 24A New Balance
Li Yang defeated Daowu, learned Xia Changsheng’s history, and chose to restore the Astral Realm by balancing cultivation paths rather than ruling it by force. After purifying the Power of Chaos and surviving the loss of her soul, she helped the Realm Domains cooperate and develop their own strengths.
- Si Kui surrendered her Origin Soul and Power of Nature to fulfill the Heaven and Earth Contract, while Li Yang led Huaxia’s forces against Daowu and his deathsworn.
- Li Yang reclaimed the Authorities of God, defeated the Divine Venerable of Earth, and fought Daowu, who escaped with Si Kui’s soul and the Human Emperor’s broken body.
- Li Yang followed Daowu to the Lotus Domain, discovered her own origin in the Power of Chaos, and learned Xia Changsheng’s memories of becoming the first Human Emperor and sacrificing herself to protect Daowu.
- Li Yang spared Daowu, sealed him away, and rejected his curse, then returned to the Astral Realm and announced that the Divine Venerable Realm was over.
- Li Yang explained her plan to promote the Dao of Pure Cultivation through example, guide rather than abolish the Dao of Devouring, and restore the Lotus Domain by returning the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
- Li Yang and Lianxin gathered the Laws of Heaven and Earth and purified the Power of Chaos across the Astral Realm, but Li Yang lost consciousness while cleansing her former home in Huaxia.
- Lianxin and others rebuilt Li Yang’s Origin Soul with fragments contributed across the Astral Realm, and she awoke with every attribute slightly incomplete.
- Li Yang established Agronomy Departments, helped Realm Domains develop through cooperation, and became regarded as a god by the people of the Astral Realm.
