Primordial Era: Reborn as the Ink Qilin, I Become the Great Emperor of Fengdu

Transmigrating to the primordial world, Mo Yuan became Wen Zhong's mount, the Mo Qilin, in the future Investiture of the Gods calamity. Ultimately, he was beaten to death by Lei Zhenzi while trying to save his master. Mo Yuan knew that only by clinging tightly to the Heavenly Dao could he gain a foothold and change his fate of becoming someone else's mount, destined for annihilation. From then on, Mo Yuan followed the will of Heaven, acting with humility and respect, seizing opportunities as they arose. He reshaped the Qilin Cliff's ley lines, receiving a supreme treasure bestowed by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Heavenly Dao's blessing of a stroke of goodwill, using his own merits to dissolve the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. He crafted the Primordial Mirror and the Five Virtues Brush, recording all the events of the primordial world, past, present, and future, and all things in the Three Realms, becoming the Heavenly Dao's personal scribe. He educated humanity in accordance with the prevailing trend, passed on funeral rites, and entered the eyes of the Supreme Saint, receiving the title of Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable, and enjoying the incense offerings and prayers of humanity. Together with Zhenyuan Daxian, he repaired the Western Paradise's earth veins, assisted Houtu Niangniang in opening up the Netherworld and establishing the order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, wielding the power of the Earthly Dao and following the laws of Heaven. ... Until the end of the Lich War and before the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods, Mo Yuan had unknowingly taken control of the Heavenly Dao's Golden Wheel of Merit, wearing the Yin Virtue of the Earthly Dao as his robe, and surrounded by a long river of human blessings. At the summit of Qilin Cliff, amidst the golden light of merit, Mo Yuan laughed loudly: "Heavenly Dao has favored me, granting my will; I wield the seal of Fengdu and rule the Netherworld."
