After Xiqi’s defeat, Ye Chen revealed that Long Aotian was Li Xinghe, leaving Laozi and Yuanshi to recognize how vast their enemy’s power and alliances were. They joined Jieyin and Zhunti to seek Hongjun’s guidance at Purple Cloud Palace, where the conflict was framed as a struggle between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao.

• Ye Chen told Yuanshi and Laozi that Long Aotian was Li Xinghe, Pangu’s little brother and the adoptive father of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
• Laozi and Yuanshi discussed the strength of Li Xinghe’s allies, including Tongtian, Houtu, the Human Race’s Three Sovereigns, and Fuxi.

• The four Saints arrived at Purple Cloud Palace and paid their respects to Hongjun.
• Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti condemned Li Xinghe, while Hongjun said their failure to support Haotian had led to their present troubles.

Laozi and the others assessed their chances in the coming conflict between the Heavenly Dao and Human Dao, while Yang Mei and Cause and Effect prepared to settle their debts and regain their pride.

• Laozi resolved to pursue the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm after Hongjun explained how much stronger the highest realms were.

• The Karma Demon God realized Fuxi cultivated the Law of Destiny, and Yang Mei wondered whether Fuxi was connected to the Lord of Destiny.
• Fuxi warned the two Demon Gods not to underestimate the Primordial Wilderness and departed; Yang Mei dismissed the warning as Li Xinghe's scheme.

Li Xinghe told Tongtian that Hongjun’s schemes aimed to suppress the Human Dao and permanently divide the Three Pure Ones, then discussed the growing threat from Yang Mei and Cause and Effect. He brought Dijiang and Xuan Ming to Huoyun Cave, believing the two Ancestral Witches were ready to attain the Dao.

• Li Xinghe revealed to Tongtian that the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was a pretext for Hongjun to suppress the Human Dao and prevent the Three Pure Ones from reuniting.

• Li Xinghe told Dijiang and Xuan Ming that he believed they were ready to attain the Dao, and they confirmed they had reached Quasi-Saint Peak.

• Li Xinghe assigned the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Great Zhou Heavenly Star Dou Formation, and other powerful formations to the gathered allies.

• Yang Mei recognized that the formation held multiple dangers, but entered it with Karma after Li Xinghe challenged the opposing side.

Li Xinghe revealed that he had opened the world within the Chaos Pearl, trapping Yang Mei and allowing him to fight at full strength while suppressing the Space Demon God. Across the Myriad Immortals Formation, both sides began their battles, and Yang Mei could only try to survive against Li Xinghe and the Ancestral Witches.

• Yang Mei and the Karma Demon God entered the Myriad Immortals Formation separately and found themselves cut off from each other and the outside world.
• Fuxi confronted the Karma Demon God in the Primordial River Luo Great Formation, while Tongtian and Hongyun prepared to face Laozi and Yuanshi in the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

• Li Xinghe appeared before Yang Mei with the eleven Ancestral Witches and revealed that they were inside the Chaos Pearl, where Yang Mei was suppressed and Li Xinghe could unleash his full strength.

Li Xinghe used the Chaos Pearl’s laws and the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation to overpower Yang Mei, who escaped after Li Xinghe threatened him with dumplings.

• Li Xinghe merged the Pangu Phantom into himself and challenged Yang Mei to fight without relying on the formation’s power.
• Yang Mei discovered that the Chaos Pearl’s laws restricted him while strengthening Li Xinghe, and Li Xinghe knocked him back with one punch.
• Yang Mei revealed his Hollow Willow form, escaped through a flaw in space, and fled the Primordial World.
• Dijiang asked Li Xinghe who they would fight next, and Li Xinghe chose Cause and Effect because he wanted something the Karma Demon God possessed.
• Li Xinghe suspected that Cause and Effect’s rapid recovery came from Jade Plate of Creation fragments, which might complete the two-thirds he already held.

Li Xinghe trapped the Karma Demon God inside the Chaos Pearl and revealed that he held the other twelve Jade Plate of Creation fragments. As Li Xinghe, Fuxi, and the Witch Race moved to kill Karma, the demon god asked about Shichen and Destiny, and Li Xinghe began to explain their absence.

• Daoist Duobao stabbed Zhunti with the God Slaying Spear, and the eight core disciples of the Jie Sect killed him in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
• Zhao Gongming and the other disciples advanced in cultivation after Zhunti's death, then met him in battle again after he revived from the Heavenly Dao Origin.

Li Xinghe and the Human Dao forces cornered Laozi, Yuanshi, and Ye Chen after Zhunti and Jieyin fell and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was broken. As Laozi’s group failed to escape, he detonated an object resembling the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

• Zhunti learned that Jieyin had fallen and dispersed himself rather than face the advancing Jie Sect disciples.
• Laozi broke the Zhu Xian Sword Formation while Yuanshi suppressed Hongyun, and Li Xinghe explained that Heavenly Dao interference had weakened Tongtian’s formation.
• Li Xinghe revealed that Cause and Effect had fallen and Yang Mei had fled, then confronted Laozi and Yuanshi as they rescued Ye Chen.
• Tongtian urged Laozi to turn against Hongjun, but Laozi and Yuanshi refused and merged their three treasures to fight back.

• Unable to escape, Laozi detonated an eyeball-like object and called upon the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to break the formation.

After the Myriad Immortals Formation fell and the Heavenly Dao was defeated, Di Xin became the fourth Human Emperor and Li Xinghe prepared to counterattack Hongjun. At the Investiture Platform, Jiang Ziya began assigning divine positions to the dead Chan Sect disciples, who learned they could no longer command him.

• Laozi used the Eye of the Heavenly Dao to weaken the formation’s barrier, then escaped with Yuanshi and Yang Mei while abandoning the Chan Sect disciples and Xiqi army.
• Di Xin attained the Dao through Merit and became the Human Race’s fourth Human Emperor; Fuxi also advanced to the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
• Li Xinghe reflected on the attainments of his three incarnations and told Fuxi that he would soon step down from overseeing the Human Race.
• Hongjun retreated after the Myriad Immortals Formation was broken, and Li Xinghe sent his Second Incarnation and the Karma Tree to strengthen his First Incarnation and the Earth Dao.
• At the Investiture Platform, Jiang Ziya whipped Immortal Weng of the South Pole and other dead Chan Sect disciples when they demanded favors, then announced that the investiture would begin.

Jiang Ziya completed the Investiture of the Gods, humiliating Chan Sect immortals with menial divine posts while elevating Jie Sect disciples and other allies. With Xiqi defeated and the realm unified, Li Xinghe considered how to restore the Chaos Green Lotus and revive Pangu, though he knew the task would require immense time and power.

• Jiang Ziya enfeoffed Guangchengzi and Immortal Weng of the South Pole to low-ranking divine posts, then used the God-Beating Whip to force them to kneel.
• Jiang Ziya assigned other Chan Sect immortals humiliating or menial positions, while Jie Sect disciples and Great Shang generals received high posts; he appointed Zhang Youren as Jade Emperor as Haotian withdrew.
• Wenzhong captured Xiqi City, and Ji Fa and Bo Yikao died defending it before entering Reincarnation.
• Di Xin broke through the shackles of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as the unified Human Race's Fortune surged.
• Li Xinghe used the Jade Plate of Creation fragments to form a plan to restore the Chaos Green Lotus and revive Pangu, but recognized that the task exceeded his current power.
