From the Start, I Entered the Unorthodox Path and Calculated the Emperor's Death in One Stroke

I enter the Dao through 108,000 unorthodox paths of the mortal world!

I turn Heaven and Earth into a great furnace, summon winds and flames from every direction, refine an innate Dao, and raise a postnatal Dao to hang in the azure sky. I also gain a Daoist robe woven from the karma of the mortal world.

Painting skin is easy, painting bones is hard, but painting the soul is harder still. I paint every plant and tree in the human world. When I wish to paint a person, I take up a scroll of Heavenly Fragrance and paint every peerless beauty under heaven!

I discuss the classics with the sages, contend with the hundred schools for the Dao, write the story of the human world, and pass judgment on countless supernatural arts, great and small!

I even make Heaven and Earth a chessboard and face three thousand gods. As we talk and laugh, I devise a master plan to pacify the world. From then on, no gods, demons, or true spirits remain, only the rolling, boundless mortal world!
