As Haotian left Purple Heaven Palace committed to the task, the Human Race’s awakened fortune made its power unmistakable, and other clans began searching their records for old grievances to settle.

• Hongjun recalled how Haotian had helped stabilize the Heavenly Court during the War of Investiture of the Gods and ordered him to suppress the Human Race in the Heavenly Court’s name.
• Haotian feared the order would drive the newly strengthened Heavenly Court into a disastrous conflict, but Hongjun said the Earthly Dao cultivators and Human Dao Saints were restrained and promised divine and saintly support.

Haotian resolved to seize sainthood by striking at the Human Race and summoned the Four Dragon Kings, stirring a new crisis across the Primordial Wilderness. As strange disasters worsened around Shouyang Mountain, Ying Zheng gathered the Human Race leaders and the Three Ancestors, and Li Tian arrived as they began discussing the anomalies.

• Li Tian arrived after leaving his cultivation, and Ying Zheng began outlining the recent natural anomalies as the gathering turned to the crisis.

Li Tian identified the strange disasters afflicting the Human Race as a deliberate attack and offered to trace their source. He and the Human leaders realized the ongoing downpour could lead them to the enemy, while the Four Sea Dragon Kings continued spreading rain under Haotian Shangdi’s secret orders.

• Li Tian reasoned that the frequent disasters were likely a coordinated attempt to erode the Human Race’s fortune and volunteered to investigate the hidden hand behind them.

• Ying Zheng recognized the downpour as a direct clue, and the others agreed they could follow the rain to find its source.
• The Four Sea Dragon Kings spread rain across the Primordial Great World under Haotian Shangdi’s secret decree, wary of provoking the rising Human Race.
• The Dragon Kings wondered why Haotian Shangdi was determined to suppress the Human Race and suspected he might be acting in concert with the will of the Heavenly Dao.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings debated whether to keep provoking the Human Race, but the East Sea Dragon King convinced them that bringing rain for the Heavenly Court could gradually cleanse the Dragon Race’s karmic burden and restore its glory. They resumed secretly causing disasters among human settlements, where Li Tian discovered them wielding the Nine Heavens Water Baleful Intent.

• Li Tian followed unusual signs in the weather and found the four ancient dragons driving the Nine Heavens Water Baleful Intent.

• Li Tian decided to seize the Four Dragon Kings and confronted them, warning them to stop destroying tribes.
• Ao Shun, the North Sea Dragon King, flew into a rage and attacked Li Tian with a full-force claw strike.
