• The Dao Ancestor presented the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, revealing that whoever controlled them would hold great authority in the Heavenly Court.
• Ye Fan proposed that, since the calamity lay within the Human Race, no one should sign the Investiture; the victors would be canonized and the defeated would enter it.
• Jie Yin and Zhun Ti reconsidered their hopes of securing Heavenly Court authority, while Jade Pure and Shangqing worried about their disciples facing the calamity.

At the Purple Sky Palace, the Sages disputed who should control the Investiture of the Gods, and Nuwa claimed it with support from Ye Fan and Taiqing. The Dao Ancestor handed her the Investiture, but Nuwa immediately demanded the God-Beating Whip as well.

• The Dao Ancestor gave the Investiture of the Gods to Nuwa, who asked him where the God-Beating Whip was.

The Dao Ancestor gave the God-Beating Whip to Haotian Yaochi and left the Investiture of the Gods with Nuwa, prompting Fang Xun to ask whether the Human Race could claim divine positions. After Nuwa handed him the scroll, Fang Xun refused to control it and proposed giving it to Fu Xi, then vowed to intensify the Great Tribulation.

After Zhuanxu ascended as Human Emperor, he and Xuanyuan worried that Qiong Chan’s rise could bring trouble to the Human Race, while Eastern Emperor Tai Yi reincarnated among humans and attained Da Luo. Fang Xun prepared to descend into the Primordial Wilderness with his allies and secretly contacted Demon Ancestor Luohou, leaving his consciousness entering a destruction-tainted stretch of Time-Space.

Fang Xun secretly negotiated with Luohou in the past, then joined Heng'e in preparing to contend for the Human Race. At Shouyang Mountain, Qiong Chan was surrounded by a dragon, a phoenix, and a kirin bearing a jade pendant, startling the Human Race’s Great Luo Supremes.

• A Great Luo True Dragon appeared outside Shouyang Mountain, and Qiong Chan said it had come for him.
• A Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix descended to guard Qiong Chan, while a Black Kirin delivered him an Ink Jade Pendant.

Fang Xun countered the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin’s support for Qiong Chan by helping Tai Yi gain the River Diagram and Luo Book, which strengthened Tai Yi’s claim to the Human Emperor position. With Hong Yi and Zhuanxu backing the idea that humanity could defy Heaven, Qiong Chan realized he might need help from outside the Human Race.

The Yuqing Saint sent the Interpretation Sect disciples into the coming calamity and granted them Spiritual Treasures, while Wen Zhong glimpsed a path to Da Luo after Qiong Chan guided him. On Penglai Immortal Island, Fang Xun split his body, primordial spirit, and mana to overcome his bottleneck, manifesting both the Myriad Heavens Dao Immortal Light and the Primordial Era Dao Annihilation Marvelous Method.

Fang Xun perfected his method of uniting existence and nothingness, then entered seclusion as a calamity gathered around the Human Race. When the Investiture of the Gods set the great calamity in motion, Tai Yi began marching toward the Plain of Zhuolu to challenge Qiong Chan’s heavenly mandate, with Tianhuan City as his first obstacle.

• Tai Yi led his army toward Tianhuan City, the first obstacle on their route, while Fang Xun learned that the city was guarded by Shao Dian, Qiong Chan’s great-grandfather.

• Wang Lin volunteered to descend into the Primordial Wilderness, and Fang Xun sent his avatar there.
• Wang Lin passed identity verification and began transforming his body to fit the Primordial Wilderness.

• Wang Lin arrived before Tianhuan City and told Shao Dian, Wen Zhong, and the Four Brothers of the Mo Family that he had come only to kill.
• Wang Lin advanced as his killing aura grew, while Tai Yi and Fang Xun recognized him as Wang Lin’s Lu Mo Clone.
• Mo Liqing attacked with the Azure Cloud Sword, but Wang Lin’s lack of a past in the River of Time made the temporal strikes miss.
• Wang Lin used Summon Wind to scatter Mo Liqing’s black gale and erode the Azure Cloud Sword.
• Wang Lin transformed Summon Wind into Summon Rain, blackening the Primal Chaos Umbrella with killing intent.
• Wen Zhong sent his Male-Female Twin Whips against Wang Lin and used Shangqing Dao Rhyme to protect the umbrella, but Wang Lin evaded the Flood Dragons and criticized the disciples for relying too heavily on Spiritual Treasures.

Wang Lin immobilized the Great Luo Supremes at Tianhuan City and killed Mo Lihong with his Silent Annihilation technique, sending him to the Investiture of the Gods Platform. Surrounded by the others, Wang Lin used Flowing Moon to travel back through time and vanish from the battle.

• Wang Lin immobilized the Great Luo Supremes and their spiritual treasures around Tianhuan City.
• Wang Lin killed Mo Lihong with Silent Annihilation, and the Investiture of the Gods seized Mo Lihong's soul and the Primal Chaos Umbrella.

• Mo Lihai, Mo Liqing, Mo Lishou, Wen Zhong, and the others launched a desperate attack on Wang Lin.
• Wang Lin entered the River of Time, used Immobilization again, and traveled into the past with Flowing Moon, disappearing from the attackers.

Wang Lin defeated the defenders of Tianhuan City, killing three of the Four Brothers of the Mo Family while Wen Zhong and Shao Dian fled. Fang Xun realized the Investiture of the Gods could prevent even his special resurrection, leaving him unable to risk dying once.

• The Sages watched Wang Lin’s Flowing Moon Divine Ability overwhelm the attackers and concluded Tianhuan City could not be defended.
• Fang Xun and Hong Yi explained that Calamity Qi had clouded the Mo brothers’ minds and that the Heavenly Dao had fated all four brothers to enter the Investiture of the Gods.

Qiong Chan arranged for the Chan and Jie Sects to combine forces against Tai Yi, while Fang Xun discovered the Ten Absolute Arrays and decided to accelerate the conflict into a Great Luo Battle. He planned to enlist the Children of Destiny from other worlds to challenge the Primordial Wilderness’s Mandated Human Emperor.

• Wen Zhong invited the Ten Heavenly Lords to join the Interception Sect forces, and Qiong Chan proposed using the Ten Absolute Arrays protected by Interpretation Sect disciples to block Tai Yi’s army.
• Fang Xun sensed the Ten Absolute Arrays and realized the Chan and Jie Sects had united earlier than expected, so he began making new arrangements.
• Fang Xun and Hong Yi discussed launching a Great Luo Battle in the Chat Group, and the Group Friends debated how to overcome the Primordial Wilderness’s formations and numerical advantage.
• Fang Xun decided to use the Children of Destiny from the All Heavens to challenge the Mandated Human Emperor, then went to Qin Mu’s world to recruit its Dao Friends.
• Qin Mu recognized Fang Xun’s purpose and agreed that inviting the Dao Friends of his world was possible.

• Qin Mu summoned Ye Xu, Zhong Yue, and Su Yun, who agreed to help Fang Xun and descended into the Primordial Wilderness as avatars.
• Fang Xun gathered the Primal Chaos Lords and asked them to join his effort, promising to cover their losses; Luo Feng offered to share his Dao Severing Blade.

• The Azure Emperor said that their opportunity had arrived as Fang Xun looked toward the others in Ye Fan’s Heavenly Emperor’s Medicine Garden.

Fang Xun invited powerful Immortal Emperors to aid the Primordial Wilderness, while Tai Yi’s army encountered the Ten Absolute Arrays at Cloud Dream Marsh. Fang Xun then summoned a mysterious force that drew Pangu’s axe strike from the Source of Time, and the chapter ended after the strike fell on the figures behind Daoist Xuan Su.

• Fang Xun invited the Empress, Azure Emperor, Wushi, Ye Yishui, and Black Emperor to descend and help defend his homeland.
• The Empress appeared in battle-worn armor stained with Heavenly Emperor Blood, then dismissed it after Ye Fan reassured her that the calamity had not reached that stage.

• Fang Xun prepared to act, and figures with powerful, unfamiliar auras appeared behind him.
• Pangu’s axe light slashed from the Source of Time toward the present and fell on the figures behind Daoist Xuan Su.

After Pangu’s axe certified Fang Xun’s summoned allies, the Sages prepared a modified Myriad Immortals Ten Absolute Array to challenge them. Fang Xun invited the newcomers to a banquet and used Penglai Immortal Island’s astounding collection of spiritual roots to undermine the assembled Great Luo Supremes’ fighting spirit before the battle began.

• Hongjun recognized Pangu’s intervention, while he and the Demon Ancestor discussed its meaning and Hongjun studied the outsiders’ Great Daos with the Jade Plate of Creation.
• Fang Xun introduced his summoned allies as Chaos Demon Gods certified by Pangu and proposed bringing the Da Luo battle forward to decide the outcome.
• Saint Shangqing, the Yuqing Saint, and the Western Teachings assembled nearly two hundred Great Luo Supremes to face Fang Xun’s side.
• Saint Shangqing gave Golden Light Holy Mother an array diagram that combined the Ten Absolute Arrays with a modified Myriad Immortals Array, while Fang Xun’s allies examined the formation.
• Fang Xun opened a gateway to the Wa Imperial Palace and hosted the newcomers, while Heng'e served fruits from Penglai Immortal Island’s vast collection of spiritual roots.
• The Great Luo Supremes saw Penglai’s rare Innate Spiritual Roots and lost much of their battle spirit as Fang Xun distributed Immortal Apricots and Yellow Middle Plums.

Tai Yi revealed the Ten Golden Crows and opened the Demon Race Treasury to the allied All-Heavens Da Luo, further weakening the Myriad Immortals Ten Absolute Array’s morale. Dong Bo Xue Ying then used a soul illusion to incapacitate the formation’s lower-ranked disciples, leaving Yang Jian to wonder whether the technique could affect Great Luo Supremes too.

• Tai Yi released the Ten Golden Crows from the River Diagram and Luo Book and explained that Di Jun had hidden them there before his calamity.
• Tai Yi opened the Demon Race Treasury, letting the allied All-Heavens Da Luo each choose an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi steadied the formation’s defenders as the All-Heavens Da Luo returned and Dong Bo Xue Ying approached alone.
• Dong Bo Xue Ying used the Cang Xuan Pearl to amplify his soul power and cast an illusion that knocked out the Myriad Immortals Ten Absolute Array’s disciples below Da Luo.
• Yang Jian realized that the formation had been rendered incomplete and asked whether Dong Bo Xue Ying’s illusion could affect Great Luo Supremes.

Dong Bo Xue Ying used his Primal Chaos soul technique to cripple the Myriad Immortals Ten Absolute Array, prompting Saint Shangqing to concede the round. Fang Xun chose the Black Emperor to break the remaining arrays and brought Duan De to the Primordial Wilderness, while Ye Fan told Shi Hao about what lay beyond their world.

• Dong Bo Xue Ying’s illusion realm affected the Great Luo Supremes, and Yang Jian resisted enough to retain about eighty percent of his strength.
• After seeing the array’s Interception Sect disciples incapacitated, Saint Shangqing conceded and withdrew the Myriad Immortals Ten Absolute Array.
• Yang Jian saluted Dong Bo Xue Ying and returned to the Golden Light Array, while Xue Ying went to debate the Dao with his new acquaintances.
• Fang Xun selected the Black Emperor to break the remaining arrays and promised it a Primordial Spirit Fruit; the Black Emperor asked him to bring Duan De along.
• Ye Fan pulled Duan De from the Desolate Heavenly Emperor’s Heavenly Court, and Fang Xun sent Duan De’s clone to the Primordial Wilderness.
• Ye Fan met Shi Hao and asked whether he wanted to learn what lay beyond their world, then shared information with him privately.

Fang Xun sent the Black Emperor and Duan De to challenge the Ten Absolute Arrays, where they used Chu Zhongji’s Field Rune to hide and prepare a counter. As Fang Xun readied his allies for a possible battle, Meng Hao confronted Ling Zhuzi and used the Dao of Yinguo to turn Ling Zhuzi’s spear strike into a debt.

• Fang Xun sent Duan De through the Sky-Opening Axe Light, then the Black Emperor led him to the Ten Absolute Arrays to scout them.
• The Black Emperor and Duan De used a Field Rune to conceal themselves, prompting Great Luo Supremes to leave the formation and search for them.
• Fang Xun asked his allies to hold back the searching opponents and kept the Empress and Wushi behind as trump cards.
• Meng Hao stopped Ling Zhuzi and let him wound him with the Fire-Tip Spear.
• Meng Hao wrote a promissory note that made Ling Zhuzi feel guilty for striking him, then explained that Ling Zhuzi owed him repayment through the Dao of Yinguo.
• Ling Zhuzi charged at Meng Hao but froze as his instincts struggled against the Yinguo.
