Yunxi and the leaders of the Five Regions prepared for the Evil God’s escape, while the Evil-Slaying Formation kept Liao Ziqian contained for more than a thousand years. After Liao Ziqian escaped, the pursuers wounded him and let him go, and he ended the chapter in disguise, coughing up pieces of his organs beneath a bounty notice.

• Yunxi warned Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e that the Evil God would soon leave the Sea of Buried Gods, prompting them to prepare their territories.
• Ku'e told the Buddhist cultivators that Liao Ziqian could not be killed because a New God’s birth would give the Immortal Domain a chance to return to the God Realm.

• Liao Ziqian disguised himself and read a bounty notice, then coughed up fragments of organs and swallowed an Immortal Pill.

Yunxi explained to Yuling how she and Xun Kun planned to use Liao Ziqian as a safeguard against the Evil God while protecting him from possession. The Evil God had escaped wounded, and Yunxi expected the Five Regions’ defenses and Liao Ziqian’s hidden resistance to expose him when he made his next move.

• Yuling questioned the risks in Yunxi and Xun Kun’s plan to let the Evil God possess Liao Ziqian rather than allow him to resurrect fully.
• Yunxi explained that Liao Ziqian had chosen to resist the Evil God and that she and Xun Kun had placed seals inside him to trap the god’s soul if necessary.
• Yunxi told Yuling that she let Liao Ziqian escape the Sea of Buried Gods so he could draw out the Evil Immortals scattered across the Five Regions.

• Yunxi said she had alerted the Immortal Emperors and that the Five Regions were guarded, leaving the wounded Evil God to recover or risk being exposed.

Yunxi and Yuling tracked Liao Ziqian through the ice-origin power lingering in his body, while Liao Ziqian hid from the Five Regions and planned to gather his followers in the Demon Realm. The Evil God intended to use Liao Ziqian’s rare body to empower them before the Immortal Domain rose to the First Heaven.

• Yuling left Linyuan Pavilion to travel the Five Regions and search for Liao Ziqian, and Yunxi gave him protective talismans while he gifted her a Cold Marrow Eye.

Fusheng traveled through the Demon Realm carrying the self-sealed Evil God's Head and waited for a Teleportation Formation to fill. While waiting, he learned of a newly opened Secret Realm and the Evil-Slaying Sect ruins, then drew suspicion by criticizing Immortal Emperor Ranxi’s actions.

• Fusheng listened as two Demon Immortals discussed a newly opened Secret Realm in the Demon Realm and the reappearance of the Evil-Slaying Sect ruins in the Central Immortal Realm.
• Fusheng questioned whether Immortal Emperor Ranxi had stopped people from exploring the ruins, then suggested she might have taken their best treasures.
• A Demon Immortal accused Fusheng of being connected to Evil Immortals, but Fusheng claimed he only envied the Immortal Practitioners who could explore the ruins.
• The others avoided Fusheng and switched to voice transmission, while the man who had raised the suspicion sent out a message.

Yunxi ordered Yu Chixing to guard the resurfaced Evil-Slaying Sect and tasked Chanjia with investigating those who had suppressed its inheritors. After meeting Xiao Xun'er, Yunxi learned that she suspected her parents’ deaths were connected to the family of a man who had pursued her.

• Yunxi ordered Yu Chixing to protect the Merit Hall at the Evil-Slaying Sect’s former site as Immortal Practitioners explored it.
• Chanjia reported that fewer than a hundred descendants had been found, including fewer than ten who had truly inherited the sect’s cultivation methods, and Yunxi ordered an investigation into their suppression.
• Yunxi summoned Xiao Xun'er, who explained how she had inherited the sect’s cultivation method and entered its former site with her ancestral token.
• Xiao Xun'er told Yunxi that she suspected the family of her father’s old friend’s son, who had pursued her, was connected to her parents’ deaths.

Xiao Xun'er learned that the Liang Family had targeted her family over the Evil-Slaying Cultivation Method and agreed to help rebuild the Evil-Slaying Sect. Meanwhile, Liao Ziqian betrayed the Evil God's Followers and began draining their cultivation, but Fusheng and Chi Wei damaged the formation and fought back.

• Yunxi invited Xiao Xun'er to return to the Evil-Slaying Sect and help rebuild it, and Xiao Xun'er accepted.
• Chanjia’s investigation exposed Immortal Practitioners who had profited from suppressing descendants of Evil-Slaying Sect disciples, and Xiao Xun'er led new disciples to confront Liang Zerui.
• The Liang Family fell, the truth about the Evil-Slaying Sect’s decline spread through the Central Immortal Realm, and the sect’s recruitment prospered.
• Liao Ziqian activated the reversed Formation Wheel and drained the cultivation of Fusheng, Chi Wei, and the other Evil God's Followers while promising to revive them later.
• Fusheng and Chi Wei attacked each other to crack the formation, and the others joined their attack on Liao Ziqian.

Hua Wu investigated a disturbance at Chaos Cliff and learned that the Evil God had strengthened its hold on Liao Ziqian, but Xun Kun urged her to preserve the plan. At Linyuan Pavilion, Yunxi and Little Book discussed its unsealed true body as the ascended Five Immortal Emperors considered the conspiracy surrounding the Evil God and the obscured Heavenly Book.

• Hua Wu summoned Xun Kun and asked whether Liao Ziqian had caused the disturbance at Chaos Cliff.
• Xun Kun examined Liao Ziqian's Soul Lamp and found that his Soul Power had weakened further, suggesting the Evil God had strengthened its remnant soul.
• Hua Wu proposed going to Chaos Cliff, but Xun Kun reminded her that Ranxi had ordered them not to act until Liao Ziqian's divine soul was completely annihilated.
• Hua Wu brought Xun Kun to Linyuan Pavilion, where Yunxi and Little Book were discussing seals lifted from Little Book's true body.
• Linyuan explained to Meihuan, Mo Ya, Long Mo, and Wusheng that the obscured Heavenly Book and the fallen realms were part of a plan to revive the Evil God, and said the God Realm's discovery had bought the lower realm time.
• Yunxi remarked that the Five Immortal Emperors ascending together seemed to have brought benefits.

Yunxi explained how she and Xun Kun were protecting Liao Ziqian’s soul while forcing the Evil God to reveal his plans. After Xun Kun investigated Chaos Cliff, they learned that the Evil God had seized his followers’ cultivation and that the Evil Immortals had fought back.

• Little Book told Yunxi he had left the Divine Book Pavilion after discovering that someone had altered the Wordless Heavenly Book, but refused to identify who was responsible.
• Hua Wu and Xun Kun brought Liao Ziqian’s Soul Lamp to Yunxi, who stabilized its flame and explained how Liao Ziqian was concealing his soul from the Evil God.
• Yunxi told Hua Wu that they would eventually force the Evil God to abandon Liao Ziqian’s body, even if that meant destroying the body and preserving the remnants of his soul.
• Yunxi sent Xun Kun to investigate the disturbance at Chaos Cliff, and he returned with evidence that the Evil Immortals had fallen into internal strife.
• Yunxi, Hua Wu, and Xun Kun concluded that the Evil God had raised his followers’ cultivation before seizing it to strengthen himself, prompting the Evil Immortals to attack Liao Ziqian.

Yunxi and the others exposed the Evil God’s attack at Chaos Cliff, prompting the Five Regions to prepare for war while Liao Ziqian hid and recovered. After more than eight thousand years, the five leaders faced the prospect of ascending before he emerged, and Yunxi proposed taking the entire Immortal Domain with them.

• Xun Kun reported that the Evil God had used an Evil Formation at Chaos Cliff to drain his subordinates, and Yunxi confirmed that the Evil God’s Head had briefly appeared before its sealing markings vanished.
• Yunxi ordered the Five Regions to spread evidence of the Evil God’s ruthless methods and weakened state, while Liao Ziqian listened to the reports and concealed himself in a mountain range to recover.
• Yunxi gathered Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e, who pledged to strengthen their regions and prepare for the Evil God’s return.
• More than eight thousand years passed as people across the Five Regions advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm and the five leaders approached the God Rank, while Liao Ziqian remained hidden.
• When the five leaders could no longer suppress their cultivation, Yunxi proposed announcing their ascension and taking the entire Immortal Domain with them.

Yunxi and the four other Immortal Emperors prepared to force the Immortal Domain’s ascension to the God Realm, drawing out the Evil God in the process. As the five climbed the Heavenly Ladder and pulled the realm upward, Liao Ziqian attacked, and Yunxi went to meet him.

• Yunxi explained that simultaneous breakthroughs by many Immortal Practitioners could hasten the Immortal Domain’s ascension and force the Evil God to reveal himself, though she would bear most of the risk.
• Yunxi and the others arranged for Immortal Kings across the Five Regions to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm; Yuling became the first and successfully completed his tribulation under Yunxi’s guard.
• Hua Wu, Menglan Jun, Baili Yanque, Ku'e, and Shangchuan underwent their ascension tribulations together while Yunxi suppressed her own cultivation and watched for the Evil God.
• After Liao Ziqian revealed himself, Yunxi signaled the five, who activated their prepared formations, received the Heavenly Dao Blessing, and climbed the Heavenly Ladder together to draw the Immortal Domain toward the God Realm.
• A streak of black light attacked the five as they climbed, and Yunxi transformed into golden light and charged to intercept it.

Yunxi fought the Evil God, who was controlling Liao Ziqian, while the Insectoid Race attacked all Five Regions and the Immortal Domain continued ascending. The warships and tribulation lightning helped repel the invaders as Shangchuan, Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e continued the ascent.

• Yunxi and Liao Ziqian exchanged more than a thousand blows, and Liao Ziqian revealed that he had allied with the Insectoid Race.

• Shangchuan, Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e resumed channeling Immortal Yuan Force into the Tethering Formation and continued ascending.
• Immortal Practitioners undergoing tribulations drew Tribulation Lightning into the insect swarms and controlled immortals, attacking the Insectoid Race and trying to break the Evil God's control.

The Immortal Domain’s defenses held as Yunxi fought Liao Ziqian in the starry sky and drew him into her ascension tribulation. She revealed that the Nine-Layer Seal had trapped the Evil God’s divine soul inside Liao Ziqian’s body, leaving him facing Godfall.

• Yunxi drew Liao Ziqian into the starry sky and damaged his saber, while Yi Tu and You Jun watched and discussed her nearing ascension tribulation.
• Yunxi swallowed an Ascension God Pill, removed the talisman suppressing her cultivation, and forced Liao Ziqian into the range of her doubled ascension Thunder Tribulation.
• The first two waves of lightning struck them, weakening Liao Ziqian while the final layer of the Nine-Layer Seal opened and his aura began to rise.
• Yunxi explained that the seal and transferred Golden Light of Merit had locked the Evil God’s divine soul inside Liao Ziqian’s body, turning it into a vessel that would seal him completely.

Yunxi endured the Ascension Thunder Tribulation while forcing the Evil God to remain inside Liao Ziqian’s collapsing body. The Evil God escaped during the eighth wave, but Immortal Emperor Yuling and Ghost Emperor Qian Ji captured Liao Ziqian and the Evil God as Yunxi faced the final bolt.

• The Evil God failed to escape Liao Ziqian’s body, and the third through fifth waves of Purple Gold Lightning struck him and Yunxi, draining his cultivation.
• Yunxi attacked Liao Ziqian between lightning waves and used the Seven-Star Deadly Staff, the Nine Nether Underworld Dragon Umbrella, the Nine Nether Sword, and Hammer Bingzhuo to endure the tribulation.
• The seventh and eighth waves struck Yunxi and Liao Ziqian, reducing Liao Ziqian’s cultivation to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and leaving his body near collapse.
• The Evil God Ye Ming used his remaining origin power to escape Liao Ziqian’s body and fled beyond the tribulation’s range.
• Immortal Emperor Yuling sent Liao Ziqian through the Moon Gate, while Ghost Emperor Qian Ji captured Ye Ming in the Soul-Collecting Mirror, and both returned to the warship Heavenly Palace.
• The eighth wave struck Yunxi through her formation disks, knocking her into a mountain, and the final bolt silently fell upon her.

During her Ascension Thunder Tribulation, Yunxi confronted Xihe and rejected the claim that she was Xihe’s reincarnation and must merge with her upon ascending to the God Realm. Yunxi argued that she was an independent person brought into this world to change its fate, and explained how she came to suspect that she had been chosen as an otherworldly soul to alter the previous life’s disastrous outcome.

• Yunxi saw through Xihe’s disguise in the still lake and greeted her as the High God.
• Xihe told Yunxi that Xihe Divine Palace would unseal after Yunxi ascended, forcing them to merge into Divine Venerable Xihe.
• Yunxi insisted that she had become an independent Wei Yunxi with her own life, while Xihe claimed the right to reclaim her as a Clone.
• Yunxi described how the previous Wei Yunxi died before confronting the Evil God and argued that the God Realm had reversed time to give the world another chance.
• Yunxi theorized that she had been brought from another world to change the previous ending, and said she had suspected this after binding the Ancient Witch Tribe’s space.
• Xihe asked when Yunxi had discovered the truth, and Yunxi traced her suspicion to her encounter with the Red Wooden Token Space in Xuantian Square Realm.

Yunxi rejected Xihe’s expectation that they would merge, and Xihe vanished as her divine palace sealed itself in the God Realm. After surviving her tribulation, Yunxi began ascending and reunited with Liao Ziqian, who had reclaimed his body and immediately faced his own ascension tribulation.

• Yunxi showed Xihe her memories and insisted that she would become a new God Venerable rather than merge with Xihe, who vanished after accepting her fate.
• Xihe Divine Palace sealed itself, and several stars fell as the High Gods realized another High God had died; Bai Ze returned to his inner hall and fell asleep.
• Yunxi awakened in the rain after passing her tribulation, absorbed the Heavenly Dao Blessing, and saw the Heavenly Ladder to the God Realm appear.
• Yuling destroyed a Giant Black Beetle, and Yunxi collected the Soul-Collecting Mirror before reopening the Moon Gate and releasing Liao Ziqian.
• Liao Ziqian told Yunxi that he had reclaimed his body and power after one hundred thousand years in the void, then triggered an imposing ascension Thunder Tribulation.
• Yunxi sent Liao Ziqian to an open area for his tribulation while Shangchuan and the other four watched.

Yunxi helped Liao Ziqian overcome his tribulation and become the new Evil God, then joined him in leading the Immortal Domain back toward the God Realm. Heavenly God Zhutian prepared to receive the returning First Heaven.

• Yunxi sealed the Evil God's remnant soul in the Soul-Collecting Mirror and used the Moon Gate's power to give Liao Ziqian time to reclaim his body and cultivate.
• Liao Ziqian endured one hundred thousand years of solitude, passed his ascension tribulation, and saw a past life in which he had served Ye Ming before dying beneath the War God's blade.
• After the Heavenly Dao Blessing restored his strength, Liao Ziqian destroyed the remaining insect swarms and formed an ascension ladder with black steps.
• Yunxi and Liao Ziqian began ascending with the entire Immortal Domain, while Immortal Practitioners who had passed their tribulations resumed comprehending the laws.
• At the God Conferring Platform, Zhutian ordered a God Official to prepare for the First Heaven's return and bring five God Children who had ascended from the lower realm.

Fuyuan Immortal Domain completed its ascent into the God Realm as Yunxi and the others helped pull it upward. At the God Conferring Platform, Yunxi was identified as Xihe the High God’s reincarnation, but Jin Ni could not make her Identity Jade Token.

• Yunxi, Liao Ziqian, Shangchuan, Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e helped Fuyuan Immortal Domain ascend, while many Immortal Practitioners broke through to God Rank.
• Linyuan, Meihuan, Long Mo, Mo Ya, and Wusheng used their divine power to guide the rising Immortal Domain into the missing portion of the First Heaven.
• Yunxi reached the God Conferring Platform first and absorbed its purple-gold light, which cleansed and strengthened her.
• Jin Ni told Yunxi that the other ascendants had been sent to different God Conferring Platforms, then identified her as the reincarnation of Xihe the High God.
• Yunxi learned that Xihe Divine Palace had sealed itself and that she could go to the Twenty-Ninth Heaven, but Jin Ni’s attempts to create her Identity Jade Token repeatedly failed.

Yunxi received an Identity Jade Token under the name Ranxi and planned to meet her companions before heading to the Twenty-Ninth Heaven. Meanwhile, Liao Ziqian ascended as a new Evil God, and Zhutian arranged to escort him to the Cave of Evil Malice to help him begin his duties.

• Jin Ni successfully created Yunxi’s Identity Jade Token after Yunxi told her to inscribe the name Ranxi, but explained that it would not let Yunxi inherit Xihe Divine Palace.
• Yunxi accepted Jin Ni’s jade slip about the God Realm and said she would meet her old friends before going to the Twenty-Ninth Heaven.
• The other six ascenders became Heavenly Gods and headed to the Thirteenth Heaven, concluding that Ranxi had ascended at another God Conferring Platform.
• Liao Ziqian ascended alone as a newly born Evil God, and Zhutian explained that the God Realm needed him to purify the Cave of Evil Malice.
• Liao Ziqian asked for an escort to help him understand the situation, and Zhutian agreed to accompany him until he gained control of the Cave of Evil Malice.

Liao Ziqian learned that the Cave of Evil Malice was destabilizing because the former Evil God Ye Ming had not been replaced, and he went to the Eighteenth Heaven to confront the crisis. The Evil Malice Qi retreated when he arrived, but then seized him and dragged him inside.

• Zhutian escorted Liao Ziqian to the Eighteenth Heaven and explained the Cave of Evil Malice’s history and the danger posed by its accumulating qi.
• Liao Ziqian realized the God Realm expected him to take the new Evil God’s position and resolve the crisis.
• Liao Ziqian saw that Evil Malice Qi had spread across two-fifths of the Eighteenth Heaven, then watched it retreat into the cave at his arrival.
• Zhutian advised Liao Ziqian to purify the qi outside the cave before entering, but Liao Ziqian said there was no time and named Xun Kun and Senior Ranxi as people to seek if he failed.
• A chain of Evil Malice Qi wrapped around Liao Ziqian and dragged him into the cave before Zhutian could stop it.

Zhutian and the God General discussed the danger in the Cave of Evil Malice and Liao Ziqian’s uncertain ability to control it. Yunxi learned that the Star Beasts’ season would trap her at the remote God Conferring Platform for centuries, then invited Jin Ni to talk with her.

• Zhutian explained that accumulated Evil Malice Qi had corroded the Cave of Evil Malice’s seals, and he left to seek Xun Kun, Ranxi, and High God Zhiyan while the God General guarded the entrance.
• Yunxi prepared to leave the God Conferring Platform, but Jin Ni warned that aggressive Star Beasts blocked the Star Sea of No Light during their mating and birthing season.
• Jin Ni told Yunxi that the season would last at least a thousand years, and Yunxi concluded that she had to remain at the platform for now.
• Yunxi questioned whether Jin Ni had tampered with her Identity Jade Token, but Jin Ni explained that the divine artifact could not be altered and had not expected Yunxi to be trapped.
• Yunxi invited Jin Ni into her Capsule Dharma House, where Taolin welcomed his master and served Peach Blossom Wine.
• Yunxi asked Jin Ni whether she had become a God Official through an assessment or with someone’s help.
