Chapter 24: A Grand Plan for Harmony – The Coexistence of Humans, Wu, and Yao Clans in the Primordial World
Xia Tian’s thoughts were heavy with the challenges ahead. “The passage of time is unforgiving. I cannot wait indefinitely,” he mused. “Only the Gate to the Primordial World can grant me the power to ascend swiftly by condensing a Hongmeng Purple Qi.”
Such a treasure from the gate would not be ordinary but a top-tier Hongmeng Purple Qi, aligned with the grandeur of this ultimate-tier Primordial World. With its unparalleled essence, Xia Tian believed it could elevate him directly to Daluo Dao Ancestor, achieving unparalleled mastery over the Dao. This was his best hope to shape the fate of the Wu, Yao, and Human Clans.

Three thousand years earlier, Donghuang Taiyi, accompanied by Kunpeng and several Yao deities, ambushed and killed Redcloud (Hongyun). However, as Xia Tian predicted, the Hongmeng Purple Qi vanished after Redcloud’s demise, leaving Taiyi and his companions empty-handed. This failure underscored the danger of meddling with cosmic forces beyond their grasp.

Xia Tian’s gaze swept over the lands of the Human Clan. His observations confirmed a disturbing pattern—Yao Clan forces were increasing their presence, with even an Innate Dao Lord among them. The Yao Clan had discovered that human souls held the key to subduing the Wu Clan. Plans were underway for a massive human slaughter to forge the Slaughter Wu Sword, a weapon capable of countering the Wu Clan and their Ancestral Witches.
“Such a tragedy cannot be allowed,” Xia Tian resolved, his tone heavy. “As the Holy Master of the Human Clan, it is my duty to prevent this atrocity.”
Though his position as the Yao Crown Prince gave the Yao Clan some pause, it was insufficient to guarantee the safety of the humans. The Yao Clan had already defied Nuwa’s creation by targeting humans. Xia Tian knew he had to act decisively.
Xia Tian’s plan extended beyond merely stopping the current crisis. He envisioned a future where the Wu, Yao, and Human Clans could coexist peacefully, forming a trinity that would maintain balance in the Primordial World. This harmonious coexistence would not only stabilise the world but also avert future calamities.
“If this plan succeeds, it will fundamentally reshape the history of the Primordial World,” Xia Tian thought. “The Gate to the Primordial World might reward me with untold treasures, including the Hongmeng Purple Qi I seek.”
Though achieving such harmony was fraught with difficulties, Xia Tian’s conviction remained unwavering. He knew his current strength as a Golden Immortal was insufficient to enforce his vision. However, if he could prevent the immediate crisis, he could bide his time and consolidate his power for future endeavours.
As Xia Tian deliberated, the skies above the Human Clan’s territory darkened. Swarms of Yao Clan warriors gathered, blotting out the heavens. At the forefront stood Donghuang Taiyi and Yao Saint Baize, their towering forms radiating the overwhelming aura of Daluo-level beings, their presence shaking the very fabric of the Primordial World.
[Yao Saint Baize (妖圣白泽, Yāo Shèng Bái Zé): A powerful Yao Clan figure at the Daluo level, known for his vast wisdom and mastery over cosmic laws.]
The sight confirmed Xia Tian’s fears—the historical massacre of humans to forge the Slaughter Wu Sword was imminent.
Xia Tian knew the moment to act had come. If he allowed the Yao Clan’s plans to proceed, the repercussions would be catastrophic. His hard-earned influence over the Human Clan would crumble, and the Gate to the Primordial World would lose the potential for significant changes.
“It’s time to intervene,” Xia Tian declared, rising from his seat in the Yuanyang Dao Field atop Mount Shouyang. His figure radiated determination as he prepared to step into the unfolding events.
By preventing the massacre, Xia Tian would not only solidify his position as the Holy Master of the Human Clan but also ensure that the Gate to the Primordial World absorbed enough energy to condense the coveted Hongmeng Purple Qi. With this treasure, he could ascend to Daluo Dao Ancestor, bringing his grand vision of harmony closer to reality.
Standing before the grand stage of history, Xia Tian’s resolve was unshakable. The stakes were immense, but so were the potential rewards. If he succeeded, the Primordial World would witness an unprecedented shift, with the Wu, Yao, and Human Clans coexisting in peace.
As the ominous presence of the Yao forces loomed overhead, Xia Tian stepped forward, ready to challenge fate itself. The path ahead was treacherous, but the rewards—a stable world and boundless power—were worth every risk.
