Fuxi helped Houtu establish the Netherworld while protecting her from merging with it. Hongjun and several Sages then plotted to renew the war between the Witch Clan and Demon Race, and Kuafu pursued Di Jun's sons after they devastated his people.

• Jieyin and Zhunti rescued Hong Yun from Kunpeng and Minghe after Di Jun and Taiyi arranged an ambush to seize his Primordial Violet Qi.
• Hongjun stopped the Witch Clan and Demon Race from fighting, but Fuxi defied his decree and defeated Di Jun and Tai Yi.
• Fuxi guided Houtu through the Primordial World, where she saw wandering souls and resolved to establish Reincarnation.
• Houtu created the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Blood Sea, and Fuxi used a clay doll and the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus to prevent her from merging with the Netherworld.
• Houtu organized the Netherworld with Fuxi's help and returned to the Witch Clan.
• Hongjun enlisted Laozi and the Western Sages to draw the Witch Clan and Demon Race into war, while Fuxi opened the Myriad Worlds Passage as a possible escape route.
• Laozi became the Demon Race's Sage shield, and Di Jun renewed its attacks on the Witch Clan.
• Zhunti lured Di Jun's ten sons away from the Fusang Tree, and Kuafu killed the Second Golden Crow Prince after the Golden Crows scorched his people's land.

Laozi’s schemes sparked war between the Witch and Demon Clans, devastating the Primordial World and leading to Buzhou Mountain’s collapse and Nuwa’s repair of the heavens. After Fuxi helped end the tribulation and the Heavenly Court was reestablished, Hongjun turned the Sages’ attention toward the Human Race’s Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

• Kuafu pursued the Golden Crows until their attacks brought him down, and Hou Yi killed eight of them before Di Jun and Taiyi arrived and war erupted between the Witch and Demon Clans.
• Laozi tried to use Chang'e and Hou Yi to inflame the clans, but Chang'e exposed his scheme and the Human Race rejected him, so Laozi persuaded Hongjun to provoke war by sending the Demon Race against the humans.
• The Demon Race attacked the Human Race, whose leaders and warriors fought back until the Witch Clan arrived, and Di Jun and Taiyi unleashed the Zhou Tian Stars Great Array against the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiends Great Array.

• Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, breaking it and opening a hole in the sky, and Nuwa mended the heavens while Black Tortoise gave his body to prop them up.
• Fuxi helped Black Tortoise thwart Hongjun’s plan, then sent the surviving witches out of the Primordial World, ending the Witch-Demon Tribulation as the Demon Clan went into hiding.
• Hongjun restored the Demon Court as the Heavenly Court under Haotian and Yaochi, then merged with the Heavenly Dao as powerful figures gathered at the court.
• Hongjun declared the Human Race would become the protagonists of heaven and earth, and directed the Sages to target the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Fuxi and Tongtian opposed Hongjun’s plans as the Human Race grew stronger under Huaxia. After failed attacks and schemes against the Human Race, the Heavenly Court prepared for another war while Fuxi intervened in the Investiture of the Gods.

• Hongjun announced the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation after Tongtian refused to send Interception Sect disciples to the Heavenly Court.
• Tongtian fought Primordial Heavenly Venerable over attacks on his disciples and severed his bond with the Three Pure Ones after Fuxi supported him.
• Fuxi founded Huaxia, and successive rulers strengthened the Human Race while Fuxi and Houtu allied against the Heavenly Court.
• Di Xin followed Fuxi’s advice to fortify the borders and develop the Human Race, ushering in a golden age.
• Haotian sent armies against Huaxia, but its defenders repelled or held the Heavenly Court’s forces on all four fronts.
• Fuxi thwarted the Heavenly Court’s schemes involving Nezha and Yang Jian, who refused to rebel against the Human Race.
• Fuxi concealed Jiang Ziya and deceived Primordial Heavenly Venerable into choosing Shen Gongbao as the bearer of the Investiture of the Gods.
• Shen Gongbao recruited Marquis Ji Chang of the West against Di Xin, and the Heavenly Court prepared for war after the marquis’s proclamation failed to win support.

The Human Race defeated the Heavenly Court’s invasion, and the Primordial World prepared for an Outside-Heaven Demons invasion. As the Sages arranged the Journey to the West Calamity, Fuxi took the Lingming Stone Monkey as his disciple, leaving the Sages to continue the plan with Jin Chanzi.

• Laozi sent the Heavenly Court army to Chentang Pass, where Cangjie and the Human Race assembled their forces and challenged the invaders to a champions’ duel.
• The Human Race’s champions defeated Xuandu, Guangchengzi, Jiu Feng, and the Heavenly Court’s other fighters, while Shen Gongbao delayed the war as Fuxi’s pawn.
• Primordial Heavenly Venerable launched the assault, but the Human Race’s formations and allies overwhelmed the Heavenly Court forces, and Fuxi protected Shen Gongbao from Yuanshi Tianzun.
• Suiren Shi called forth the Human Path Sword to dispel the Heavenly Dao’s punishment, and Hongjun agreed with Fuxi to stop the battle and accept the Heavenly Court’s surrender.
• Di Xin accepted Haotian’s surrender, and the Human Race, Dragon Clan, and Three Xiao received rewards as the Heavenly, Human, and Earthly Daos returned to balance.
• Hongjun warned the Sages that Luohu’s Outside-Heaven Demons would invade in a hundred years, while Haotian refused to commit the Heavenly Court and assigned the calamity to the Human Race.
• The Sages defeated the heart demons at the Demon Sea after discovering that Buddhist light and Merit-bearing treasures could suppress them, then planned the Journey to the West Calamity with Fuxi’s cooperation.
• Jieyin and Zhunti established the Buddhist Sect with Duobao Tathagata as its leader, but Tongtian expelled Duobao and his followers from the Interception Sect, and Ksitigarbha’s vow failed to win the Netherworld’s response.
• Fuxi found the Lingming Stone Monkey on Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, took him as his disciple, and stopped Jieyin, Zhunti, Laozi, and Yuanshi from claiming him, so the Sages agreed to proceed with the calamity through Jin Chanzi.
