At a time when the Wu and Yao Clans are locked in confrontation and a cataclysm is approaching, a Great Dao Golden Ranking List suddenly descends over the Primordial World, spanning the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Boundless Daoic sounds spread through the Three Realms and Six Paths, announcing that it will rank the Primordial World’s Ten Great Origin Daos. Those who make the list will receive rewards from the Great Dao’s origin.
Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti, and the leaders of the Wu and Yao Clans are all alarmed. Everyone assumes the Heavenly Dao, controlled by Hongjun, must be number one.
The rankings are revealed from the bottom up: tenth, the Ghost Dao, since Houtu has only just established reincarnation and its foundations are still shallow; ninth, the Dragon Dao, as the Dragon Clan has declined and its fortune has plummeted.
As everyone wonders who will claim eighth place, the Golden Ranking List makes its announcement: eighth, the Earth Vein Great Dao.
The entire Primordial World erupts in an uproar.
"The earth veins deserve to be called a Great Dao? They’re nothing but lifeless things ruled by the Heavenly Dao!"
Before the Xuanmen immortals can finish laughing, the Golden Ranking List shines with boundless radiance. Pangu’s spine transforms into countless veins, and the awakened origin gives rise to Ling Mai. Divine patterns of the earth surge into the sky, challenging the might of Heaven itself.
The Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s gaze turns icy. "The earth veins have overstepped their bounds. They must be punished by Heaven."
As a sea of thunder pours down from the Nine Heavens, a young figure steps out of the earth in the depths of the Nine Provinces. He raises a hand and brushes the thunder away. "The Heavenly Dao can govern life and death, but it cannot govern the earth veins. You, Hongjun, aren’t qualified to judge me."
From then on, the countless veins resound in unison, and a divine dynasty is established. Houtu brings the Earthly Dao into his fold, while Nuwa brings the Human Dao to join him. When the power rankings open again, the entire Xuanmen falls silent.
When the Chaos Demon Gods come knocking at the gates of the Primordial World, the Saints who once contended with one another all turn to Ling Mai.
He taps the earth lightly with a fingertip. The earth veins across myriad worlds tremble in unison. "Set foot in my territory, and you’re staying."
