For a long time afterward, the Yin-Yang God-Demons worked to coordinate. All innate God-Demons related to heaven and earth either sought their help, or at least hoped they wouldn't disrupt their plans.
There were indeed many involved God-Demons. Above, besides the nine innate Pure Qi God-Demons formed from the primordial pure qi, there were numerous God-Demons born from the intermingling of pure qi and space, such as the Azure Heaven God-Demon and the Royal Heaven God-Demon. They were primarily responsible for the celestial barrier, situated between the world's barrier and the heavens, absorbing and converting the energy absorbed by the world's barrier to further evolve into pure qi.
Additionally, there were Void God-Demons and a series of other God-Demons.
Fortunately, the other God-Demons were not crucial. As long as the Nine Pure Qi God-Demons and the Nine Heavens God-Demons were willing to cooperate, the heavenly aspect of the plan to separate heaven and earth was essentially settled.
Next, of course, was coordinating the earth.
Compared to the heavens, the earth required the coordination of a greater number of deities. For instance, the twelve Earthly Turbid Qi God-Demons, the Four Ocean God-Demons, the Nine Netherworld God-Demons, and so on.
Overall, the primordial essence of the earth was considerably more robust than that of the heavens. This wasn't to say the earth was nobler than the heavens; the primary reason for the earth's robust primordial essence was that since the beginning of creation, the vast majority of fallen God-Demons had integrated into the earth upon their deaths. Consequently, how could the earth's primordial essence not be robust?
With a robust primordial essence, the number of God-Demons that could be born.
Naturally, there would be slightly more.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the final outcome was still positive. Under the diligent coordination of the Yin-Yang God-Demons, after nearly ten thousand years, they had finally reached specific agreements with all the important innate God-Demons of heaven and earth.
What followed was, as expected.
The formal initiation of the plan to completely separate heaven and earth.
...
On the day the plan began, all the blessed lands and God-Demons situated at the boundary between heaven and earth were either moved or persuaded to leave. Even the Yin-Yang Blessed Land was no exception.
As for Ding Yun, he, in a rare instance, once again left the Yin-Yang Blessed Land and was taken into the Dantian by the Yin-Yang God-Demons.
This was to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise at any moment.
After all, theoretical feasibility was merely theoretical feasibility, which excluded all unexpected factors. However, reality was often far more complex, and no one could be certain that no accidents would occur. Therefore, the Yin-Yang God-Demons naturally felt more at ease with Ding Yun, able to respond promptly if any unexpected events transpired.
With all obstacles removed, it was time for the innate God-Demons of heaven and earth to take their positions. Under the command of the Yin-Yang God-Demons, they all manifested their true forms and celestial appearances, mobilizing their origin laws to draw in the pure and turbid qi.
This was to temporarily and completely separate heaven and earth.
And to cease the generation of new chaotic qi.
The next task fell to the Yin-Yang God-Demons. He, too, manifested his true form and celestial appearance, utilizing his origin laws and cooperating with his accompanying supreme treasure, the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram. He began to furiously absorb the almost boundless chaotic qi from the space between heaven and earth.
All the chaotic qi, upon entering the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, would be influenced by the Yin-Yang laws, differentiating into yin and yang, becoming pure qi and turbid qi respectively. They would then float upwards and sink downwards, controlled by the multitude of pure qi God-Demons and turbid qi God-Demons.
This maintained the separation without affecting the Yin-Yang God-Demons.
However, due to the sheer volume of chaotic qi in the space between heaven and earth, and because the Yin-Yang God-Demons were not employing a simple, brutal, and time-saving method like cleaving the chaotic qi with an axe, the process was exceptionally long.
It was so long that almost all the innate God-Demons could come to observe, and they immediately understood his intentions.
And many innate God-Demons began to sabotage.
Although all the innate God-Demons clearly understood that what the Yin-Yang God-Demons were doing was beneficial to the world, not all innate God-Demons wished for the world's well-being, or for it to be achieved through this method.
For example, the Chaotic God-Demons, Destruction God-Demons, Devouring God-Demons, Chaos God-Demons, and Inversion God-Demons, among others, were highly unwilling to allow the Yin-Yang God-Demons to succeed.
Therefore, they soon began to act.
In an instant, countless law energies surged forth. While these were not attacks meant to kill, their destructive power was not insignificant.
However, because the Yin-Yang God-Demons had anticipated this, they calmly mobilized their Innate Yin-Yang Diagram to absorb all those attacks, grinding them down and transforming them into innate pure and turbid qi. During the process, they also remembered to extract the law power contained within those attacks.
This power was then handed over to Ding Yun to create law robots.
Of course, these were merely probing attacks from those God-Demons, and their power was not great, which was why the Yin-Yang God-Demons could deal with them so easily. The real battle was yet to come.
Whether innate God-Demons were engaged in a life-and-death struggle wasn't determined by the spells they used, but by whether they manifested their true forms for close combat.

Close combat imbued with the power of laws.
At this moment, most innate God-Demons possessed few intricate spells. If they had spells, they were merely external manifestations of laws. It was more troublesome than direct physical combat. Thus, it was law versus law, a collision of raw, primitive, and brutal power.
Therefore, what followed was naturally the innate God-Demons manifesting their true forms and celestial appearances to gang up on the Yin-Yang God-Demons. One had to admit, the spectacle was truly grand. After manifesting their true forms, these God-Demons were almost all billions of feet tall. With every movement, the earth would crack and space would shatter. Direct punches would witness the birth and death of laws. Every drop of blood that flew out was comparable to a world. Some that flew too far would either begin to evolve into groups of innate beings or evolve into worlds, a display of supreme creation and profound mystery.
The Yin-Yang God-Demons also proved formidable. A single God-Demon fought hundreds of innate God-Demons hand-to-hand, holding his own for a considerable time.
When the stalemate persisted until no other innate God-Demons joined the fray to gang up on him, the Yin-Yang God-Demons let out a mighty roar: "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Life and Death Array, rise!"
As his voice echoed, above in the heavens and below on the earth, the God-Demons who had been observing and had not intervened in their battle began to form hand seals, connecting with each other. Within less than half a moment, an array encompassing the entire heaven and earth was instantly constructed.
The pure and turbid qi of the entire world, with the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram as its core, transformed into the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Life and Death Array.
The convergence of heaven and earth's yin and yang possessed not only the power of creation but also the power of destruction, using heaven and earth as a great millstone to obliterate all.
At the center of the array was the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram.
The entire array was safest only near the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, where it would not be attacked. Therefore, the Yin-Yang God-Demons directly retreated under the shroud of the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, while the other innate God-Demons, facing the terrifying destructive power of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Life and Death Array, were either heavily wounded or perished. In a single blow, more than half were killed or injured.
No matter how powerful these innate God-Demons were, they were ultimately beings within the world. Without transcending the world, how could they resist the terrifying attack launched by the combined forces of the world, heaven, and earth?
As the array gathered power for its second strike, the surviving innate God-Demons had no intention of resisting anymore; they only wished to flee quickly and save their lives.
But how could the Yin-Yang God-Demons let them go so easily? Thus, under the second strike of the array, they all perished. Only a wisp of their primordial essence and their respective innate indestructible true spirits were collected by the Yin-Yang God-Demons.
These innate indestructible true spirits took considerable time to obliterate, and there was no need to waste time on them. Moreover, these innate indestructible true spirits were excellent materials, whether for creating new innate God-Demons or for refining innate spiritual treasures. There was no need to obliterate and waste them.
