• Nuwa thanked Meng Qi and the others, then declared that she intended to beat Zhun Ti, Jie Yin, and Yuqing while she broke the formation.

• Saint Shangqing summoned the Six Souls Banner and wrote Meng Qi, Nuwa, Wang Chao, Jiang Nan, and the Empress on its streamers, leaving the final streamer blank.

• Houtu used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to withstand Luohu and drive him back, while the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Array shattered much of Mount Sumeru and freed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
• Fang Xun persuaded the Four Immortal Slaying Swords to follow him by invoking their memories of Spiritual Treasure Daoist, then formed the sword array around the Sages' battlefield.
• Fang Xun declared that the defeated would enter the Investiture of the Gods, and a scroll from Lingxiao Palace appeared bearing the names Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Jade Pure, and Shangqing.
• Ye Fan explained to Fang Xun that he wanted to use the Sages to probe the Dao Ancestor, who had remained suspiciously quiet, and demanded that the four Sages work for him.
• Jade Pure objected and proposed discussing war reparations, but Ye Fan threatened to kill the Sages if they resisted.

The Dao Ancestor appeared in Chaos and asked Ye Fan to spare the Sages from the Investiture of the Gods, but Ye Fan refused and challenged the Dao Ancestor’s control over them. As the two prepared to clash, Fang Xun secretly went to Shouyang Mountain to obtain the Human Emperor Seal and carry out his plan.

• The Dao Ancestor brought Violet Firmament Palace into Chaos, and Ye Fan rose from Lingxiao Palace to meet him with Fu Xi and Bai Ze.
• The Dao Ancestor argued that the Sages were essential to the Primordial Wilderness and asked Ye Fan not to place them in the Heavenly Court’s system.

• Fang Xun gave Meng Qi the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and secretly traveled to Shouyang Mountain to ask Human Emperor Zhuanxu for the Human Emperor Seal.
• Zhuanxu handed over the seal, explained that he planned to abdicate after the coming battle to answer for his past mistake, and received Fang Xun’s approval as a qualified Human Emperor.

Fang Xun gathered the fortune of the Witch, Demon, and Human Tribes, awakened Di Jun and Xi He, and exposed the Dao Ancestor’s role in driving calamities. The Dao Ancestor revealed that two calamities remained, while Fang Xun asked him to heed the voices of all beings.

• Fang Xun used the Six Paths Reincarnation Seal, the Human Emperor Seal, and the Demon Summoning Banner to call the Witch Clan to perform rites, the Human Race to worship its ancestors, and the Demon Race to gather its destiny.
• Fang Xun’s call awakened Ji Jun and Xi, restoring them as Di Jun and Xi He, and the returning Demon Emperor caused the Demon Race’s fortune to surge.

Fang Xun united the Witch, Demon, and Human fortunes into the Human Path, but the Dao Ancestor disrupted it with the Jade Plate of Creation. As Ye Fan confronted the Dao Ancestor, Fang Xun began the plan’s final step with Nuwa, who used the Human Emperor Seal to connect the Human Path to the Heavenly Dao Origin.

• Fang Xun combined the Human Emperor Seal, Six Paths of Reincarnation Seal, and Demon Summoning Banner, then called on leaders of the Witch and Demon Tribes and mixed-blood people to help fuse the Three Races' Fortune.
• The unified fortune formed the Human Path, drawing celebration from the Primordial Wilderness Land and the Heavenly Dao Origin, but the Dao Ancestor used the Jade Plate of Creation to throw Fang Xun’s power into disorder.
• Ye Fan shielded Fang Xun from the Dao Ancestor and attacked him, prompting the Dao Ancestor to counter with a Chaos Thunder Pearl.
• Fang Xun called on Nuwa to carry out the plan’s final step and handed her the Human Emperor Seal.
• Nuwa merged the Saint Mother Golden Body into her Dao body, restored the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree Bracelet to her wrist, and used the Human Emperor Seal to connect with the Heavenly Dao Origin.

Nuwa used the Will of All Beings to seize more of the Heavenly Dao Origin, then battled Hongjun's Heavenly Dao Avatar for control of it. As Ye Fan fought the Dao Ancestor and Meng Qi joined the struggle, Fang Xun sought Luohou's help and brought a mysterious ally into the sealed Heavenly Emperor's Medicine Garden.

• Nuwa drew upon Human Path Fortune and the Will of All Beings to command more of the Heavenly Dao Origin, gaining an aura like the Dao Ancestor's.

• Meng Qi attacked Hongjun the Daoist with a Heaven-Opening Slash, but learned that the Heavenly Dao Avatar could not be harmed while the Dao Ancestor's true body remained alive.
• Fang Xun wondered why Demon Ancestor Luohou had not acted, then went to Ye Fan's sealed Heavenly Emperor's Medicine Garden.
• A valiant young man arrived in the garden, stroked Black Emperor's head, and was greeted by Fang Xun as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Fang Xun brought Shi Hao, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, into the Primordial Wilderness to help fight the Dao Ancestor. Shi Hao and Ye Fan struck together but failed to kill the Dao Ancestor, and the chapter ended as they prepared to fight again.

• Shi Hao agreed to help Fang Xun and entered the Primordial Wilderness through the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree's Light Gate, concealed by Ye Fan's one-use technique.

• Ye Fan and Shi Hao exchanged a glance with the Dao Ancestor, and all three prepared to resume their deadly battle.

Ye Fan and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor defeated the Dao Ancestor in Chaos, but Hongjun revealed that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was not over. He seized the God-Beating Whip, forcibly completed the canonization, and declared Heavenly Dao Great Perfection, leaving Ye Fan and the others facing the Heavenly Dao Origin.

• Ye Fan and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor used Sword and Cauldron Resonance to shatter the Chaos Thunder Pearl and destroy the Dao Ancestor's body.

• Nuwa told Fang Xun she could join the fight with the Human Emperor Seal, and Fang Xun sensed the World Destroying Black Lotus twitch and suspected Luohou.

• Luohu asked Fang Xun to help him take the Heavenly Dao Wu Ji Dao Fruit, revealing that it had belonged to Taiqing before Hong Jun claimed it.
• Fang Xun told Nuwa and Houtu about Luohu’s plan, and they opposed Hong Jun as Luohu attacked the Dao Ancestor’s grasp on the Dao Fruit.

• Hong Jun’s shoulder was pierced by the Light Sword, and Taiqing unfurled the Taiji Diagram beneath his feet.

Taiqing escaped the Primordial Violet Qi’s restraints by exchanging identities and Great Daos with Morality, then used the Foundation of Existence to challenge Hongjun and Luohou for the Heavenly Dao Wu Ji Dao Fruit. As Ye Tiandi and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor confronted Hongjun, the battle’s outcome remained unknown, and one corner of the Purple Sky Palace collapsed.

Fang Xun then returned to the Human Race’s abdication ceremony, where Tai Yi became the new Human Emperor and Hong Yi’s path advanced toward Great Dao Sagehood.

• Ye Fan and the others failed to find Hong Jun after he vanished, so Ye Fan invited the victors and defeated Sages to the Heavenly Court and restored the Investiture of the Gods.
• Ye Fan appointed Houtu, the holders of the Human Emperor Seal, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Immortals, and other figures to positions in the new Heavenly Court, while the Investiture assigned lesser divine positions to the defeated.
