The Grand Dao split into four forms- Yin, Yang, Balance and Harmony.
Param looked at his creation in anticipation. The creation of the elements would be followed by the birth of Numinous Treasures.
In the blueprint he'd made for his universe, the Numinous Treasures were going to be the foundations of the universe. With their help, his universe would be able to maintain, repair and protect itself.
As time passed, the Yang within the universe seemed to gather towards a single point. The accumulation seemed to trigger a phenomenon where it formed something akin to a black hole and began to collapse upon itself. The collapse caused the Yang element at the focus point to refine itself even further.
The focal point grew brighter and brighter, until it seemed to have reached a threshold. The extremely pure Yang at the focal point darkened, and formed what seemed to be extremely pure Yin!
The newly formed Yin interacted with the surrounding pure Yang as if in preset patterns, and slowly began taking the shape of a bright star with a dark core.
The moment the star was born it began to refine the Yang elements around it, while in return spewing out a new form of energy, which would later be known as Spiritual Qi.
Param was impressed with the Numinous Treasure, and decided to name it the "Grand Yang Spiritual Star".
Why the grand at the beginning you ask? Because Param thought that four letter names were cool, plus it also helped increase the word count.
According to his plan, the Grand Yang Spiritual Star was similar to an air purifier in a house. Except that the thing that it was going to refine and purify was going to be Spiritual Qi, which was going to be the base power of this world.
Similar things were occurring in other places.
The purest Yin elements gathered to form a sliver of pure Yang, which interacted with the pure Yin surrounding it and took the shape of an extremely large, silver colored mirror.
The mirror reflected another empty space, as if it was the entrance to another world. The mirror seemed to be extremely terrifying, as the impurities within the surrounding Yin elements began to freeze and separate.
This mirror, which Param named the Silver Yin Reincarnation Mirror, was created to manage matters related to soul and reincarnation.
However, between the Yin and Yang, things were quite different. At the center of Balance which was shaped in the form of a spiral galaxy, the impurity of the elementa didn't allow it to purify beyond a certain extent. Instead, the elements seemed to form a vast network with each other, spreading throughout the spiral galaxy.
This new creation seemed almost immaterial, and once in a while shone with multicolored lights. As they shined, lightning flashed throughout and refined the remaining Balance elements.
This was the Grand Dao Heaven's Will, which would oversee the universe and maintain order. In short, it was kind of a surveillance system. If your social points hit zero, you're dead!
Finally there was Harmony, which simply took the shape of a large black sword. On one side were the words "Dao Protection" while on the other side were the words "Martial Extermination".
As the words implied, its name was the Dao Protecting Martial Extermination Sword. Maybe Param really thought that the longer the name, the cooler it sounded.

The sword was extremely sharp, just its sharpness was enough to refine the surrounding Harmony elements.
Param looked at his creation with satisfaction. Everything was going according to plan. Just a step more and he'd be done.
Currently, while the universe had been created, it was, in simple words, a dead universe. The Numinous Treasures that had been born hardly had any spirituality, and they would take a long time to develop once. What Param planned to do was to upload info by himself.
He rested for a while and played his third piece- "Awakening Wisdom".
The melody seemed to have a great effect on the universe. The Numinous Treasures seemed to 'awaken', as if a toddler's mind had immediately matured into a grown-up person.
The first task of the Numinous Treasures was to refine the remaining elements to create the first beings. The first creatures born from the elements would have an innate advantage over others.
The Numinous Treasures went to work, and began to refine the remaining elements.
The Grand Yang Spiritual Star refined the surrounding pure Yang and refined it into a blob. Under the melody of the third piece, the blob underwent a change, turning it into a person.
Born from the purest of Yang, she was fair with equally fair hair. Even her pupils were white. Her chest held an ample bosom, a delight to watch as it shook with a movement. Her thin waist and perky butt was well proportioned, like a sculpture. Her hair was long and thick, seemingly like clouds, and floated behind her with grace. She was beautiful, but the aura surrounding her was explosive and righteous.
Since she was born with Wisdom, she knew about the universe and herself. Her name was Bai.
The Silver Yin Reincarnation Mirror wouldn't allow itself to be left behind, and similarly refined the Yin elements surrounding it into a blob, which slowly transformed into another figure.
This woman was born from Yin, was dark skinned with beautiful black eyes and hair dark as night.
While similarly blessed with similar beauty as Bai, she was different. Her every move seemed to be full of seduction, and each glance a hint of mischief. It wasn't purposeful, it was her innate aura, an ability to make others reveal their desires.
She too was born of Wisdom, her name being Yue.
Meanwhile in the center of the spiral galaxy formed by the Balance elements, the Grand Dao Heaven's Will used its frightening lightning to refine the elements into a blob, which similarly transformed into Yun.
Yun looked like a next door mature beauty, with a bosom threatening to spill. Her long blonde hair was like golden threads, yet her rainbow pupils could not hide the imperial aura within her.
The last was Daxia. Born from the refinement from the Dao Protecting Martial Extermination Sword’s sword intent, like her name she was heroic, with slightly curly deep red hair. While her beautiful figure could make anybody drool, not many would be able to meet her fierce red pupils.
The four sisters, born from different sources, took their time exploring their surroundings. At the moment the universe was mostly devoid of life, with a few creatures beginning to take birth and mountains and seas being formed.
As the first born, they could sense Param, but his aura was too unbearable for them to handle. Param too realized this problem and shook his head.
As the owner of the Green Melody Bamboo Flute, his aura was too strong for the natives of this world since it came directly from the Truth. On the other hand, the natives hadn’t even mastered the shoddy Grand Dao yet.
Feeling a bit disappointed, he retreated into his secret realm while waiting for them to shoulder the Numinous Treasures.
‘Shouldering the Numinous Treasure’ was a process through which a native of this universe would be able to gain control over a Numinous Treasure, enabling the native to borrow some of its power.
Param made it this way since while the Numinous Treasures were sentient, they weren’t as highly sentient as intelligent living beings. After all, the Numinous Treasures were supposed to be the foundations of the universe. If they gained a high level of sentience, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause. They were supposed to be like a microwave; doing their job and then quietly sitting in a corner until the next job arrives.
As time went by, the universe gradually began to take shape. The Numinous Treasures worked on ‘auto’ mode and refined the remaining elements into more physical forms.
Mountains rose from the ground, oceans touched the horizon, and clouds traveled the vast skies. In many places space twisted and turned, forming Secret Realms. Natural treasures began to form, and ingenious creatures filled the universe.
At the same time, the first four races appeared in the universe. These races lived within their own realms and initially didn’t interact with those in the other realms.
The refining by the Grand Yang Spiritual Star gave birth to the Celestial Race. They were born with an innate talent for refining Spiritual Qi within their bodies, and were full of righteousness. They lived within the Celestial Realm, which was previously filled with Yang elements.
The refining by the Silver Yin Reincarnation Mirror gave birth to the Yama Race. They had an innate talent for utilizing illusions, dreams, and soul techniques. They emphasized on manipulating reality, turning the immaterial into material and vice versa. The Yama Race resided within the Reincarnation Realm, which was both inside and outside the mirror.
The refining by the Grand Dao Heaven’s Will gave birth to the Immortal Race, who lived in the now Immortal Realm. Their innate talent was their firm will and mind cultivation. But more than that, their true expertise lied in prophecy. As children of the Heaven's Will, they could calculate the various possibilities and predict the best outcome for themselves.
Lastly, the refining by the Dao Protecting Martial Extermination Sword gave birth to the Martial Race. They didn’t have much talent in Spiritual Qi, soul techniques, nor in predicting the future. However, the only thing that made them special was their unshakable Dao Heart. With their Dao Heart, their every movement was the Dao, and their every speech was the Dao. Their sword techniques were especially famous, which even led to the birth of the proverb: “One sword breaks all!”. The Martial Race resided within the Martial Realm in peace while protecting the inhabitants of the universe within.
