Pangu created the heavens, and the vast primordial world came into being.
The primordial world's golden age came during the War of the Lich Tribulation. Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Two Sages of the West, Nuwa, Fuxi... These mighty figures each have legends of their own.
But in the primordial world before the War of the Lich Tribulation, during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Beast Tribulation, and other calamities, who attained the Dao? What astonishing talents arose?
Half an immortal book forged his Dao fruit; reborn in the primordial world, he comprehended the Five Elements.
Wu Xing was reborn as a Five-Needle Pine in the primordial world, becoming the future Ancestor of the Five Elements, who survived the Beast Tribulation and the Dragon-Han Tribulation, only to be tricked to death by Hongjun during the War of Dao and Demons. The Ancestor of the Five Elements, Wu Xing, swore to seek the Dao and pursue immortality, and ultimately attain the supreme Great Dao.
