A millennium after escaping the God Realm battle, Wang Ming entered the Mortal Realm through Yue Lao’s passage and found Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan. He brought them into All Heavens Pawnshop and revealed that Xu Maoshan’s jade thumb ring had made him a guest.

• During a meteor shower, Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan received a jade pendant and a jade thumb ring, and Jing Tian’s wishes briefly came true before he lost his pawnshop position and fell into debt.
• As Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan struggled over the ring, Wang Ming’s voice asked what they wanted, and they repeated their wishes.
• Wang Ming explained that he had hidden his Divine Soul in the ring for a thousand years after escaping Fuxi, and that his body, cultivation, and treasures had suffered heavy losses.
• Wang Ming transported Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan to a gold-filled room and introduced himself as Light King, manager of All Heavens Pawnshop.
• Wang Ming told Xu Maoshan that the All Heavens Ring made him a pawnshop guest and explained that his shop accepted souls, lifespan, wisdom, fortune, and Dharmic power as well as ordinary valuables.

Wang Ming tricked Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan into believing they had pawned their souls, using the deal to keep them from revealing or selling the All Heavens Ring. Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan set off with their gold to redeem Yong'an Pawnshop, but their plans were interrupted by Poisoned Corpses.

• Jing Tian challenged Wang Ming to make him emperor, and Wang Ming described three ways to do it at different prices.
• Wang Ming told Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan their souls were worth fifty taels of gold each, then claimed he would keep them safe until they died of old age.

• Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan woke up with their gold and headed to redeem Yong'an Pawnshop, but encountered Poisoned Corpses on the way.

Wang Min repeatedly cured Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan of Poisoned Corpse infections while charging Jing Tian for portions of his destiny fortune. After Jing Tian’s luck dwindled to almost nothing, the two escaped the Poisoned Corpses, but Jing Tian was scratched again.

• Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan were infected by Poisoned Corpses, so Wang Min summoned their spirits into the ring and offered to cure them in exchange for destiny fortune.
• Wang Min took one hundred points of Jing Tian’s fortune and healed them, but Jing Tian suffered a string of mishaps and was bitten again soon after leaving.
• Wang Min extracted another hundred points, then used the ring’s light to disable the Poisoned Corpses surrounding Jing Tian and Xu Maoshan.
• Jing Tian was scratched again while leaving the area, and Wang Min realized Jing Tian’s fortune had fallen to just five points.

After the poisoned-corpse crisis, Jing Tian’s fight to help Xuejian reclaim her place in the Tang family ended with Tang Kun’s resurrection and Tang Tai’s expulsion. As Jing Tian and his companions began their journey for the Five Elemental Pearls, Wang Ming realized that Fuxi’s route seemed designed to devastate the Six Realms for the Divine Realm’s benefit.

• Jing Tian discovered that his gold had vanished, while Wang Ming stayed hidden and avoided detection by Chonglou, who delivered the Demon Sword to Jing Tian.
• Tang Tai and Tang Zhiyun tried to drive Xuejian out of the Tang Family Fort and claim Tang Kun’s inheritance, but Jing Tian collapsed after defeating Tang Tai’s men with the Demon Sword.
• Wang Ming traded five hundred points of Jing Tian’s fortune to resurrect Tang Kun, who confronted his relatives, expelled Tang Tai, and comforted Xuejian.
• Jing Tian, Xu Changqing, Long Kui, and Xu Maoshan set off on their journey, while Wang Ming questioned why they had to travel through several places to collect the Five Elemental Pearls.
• Wang Ming deduced that Fuxi’s plan had brought suffering to five of the Six Realms while leaving the Divine Realm to benefit.

After Jing Tian paid Wang Ming to restore Long Kui's body, the group traveled to the Ancient Vine Forest, where Wang Ming used Xu Maoshan to defeat Luo Ru Lie and claim the Earth Pearl. Xu Maoshan passed out after the battle, while Wang Ming absorbed the pearl to recover his strength.

• Jing Tian spent one thousand destiny luck to have Wang Ming intervene when Long Kui was in danger, and Wang Ming summoned her through a mirror.
• Wang Ming subdued red Long Kui, then agreed to restore her physical body as Jing Tian's real younger sister; Long Kui returned to the others with a body.
• At the Ancient Vine Forest, Ancient Vine Monster gave up the Earth Pearl and an avatar, then the Demon Sword killed him; the group learned Luo Ru Lie was behind the poisoned corpses.
• Luo Ru Lie attacked Jing Tian's group, but Wang Ming protected them through Xu Maoshan and guided Xu Maoshan's uncontrolled attacks.
• Wang Ming took control of Xu Maoshan, killed Luo Ru Lie, and absorbed the Earth Pearl; Xu Maoshan accidentally continued attacking before Wang Ming withdrew his power, leaving him unconscious.

Wang Ming watched Jing Tian and his companions travel toward Fengdu, then brought Red Long Kui into the Ring Space to propose a deal. Long Kui refused to separate from Blue Long Kui or abandon her belief that Jing Tian was her older brother, but Wang Ming left her with a tattoo that would let her contact him later.

• Wang Ming observed the Demon Sword carry Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian to Fengdu and suspected that an unknown presence besides Long Kui could control it.
• Long Kui, Xu Changqing, Xu Maoshan, and Hua Ying pursued Jing Tian, and Xu Maoshan fell from their flying sword before the group stopped at an inn in Chang'an.

Wang Ming weighed the danger of fighting the Fire Ghost King while trapped in a critical state, then agreed to act after Hong Kui exposed his interest in the Fire Pearl.

• Wang Ming compared the combat strength of the Fire Ghost King and the others, then chose to play dead because he was still critically injured.
• Hong Kui deduced that Wang Ming wanted the Five Elemental Pearls and urged him to help before the group was killed.
