While Chu Qing cleared Heaven’s residence, he uncovered a vast Mantis Martial Ancestor mark and learned from the Mantis High Priest that it was created in a ritual attack on Heaven. His candle flames burned away the mark, causing ancient creatures across the starry sky to sense that their world was recovering, and Stone Ridge Mountain’s consciousness asked what Chu Qing was doing.

• Madam Jin summoned the Great Sun Chariot, and Chu Qing used his empowered teleportation abilities to take the women to Heaven's residence.

Chu Qing and the women strengthened the flames in Heaven's Residence with the Morning Star Scripture, then explored its halls and discovered sentient book demons in the Library Pavilion. The books revealed that Heaven had visited to read a history of Qi Practitioners and divided authority, and Chu Qing was left questioning what happened to those cultivators as one book demon claimed to know a hidden secret.

Chu Qing and his companions uncovered conflicting records about the Qi Practitioners, authority, and Liuli, then entered Heaven’s underground Imperial Palace. There they found Heaven chained in darkness, with her two consciousnesses split over whether Chu Qing should help or flee.

• The Book Demons revealed records suggesting Qi Practitioners abandoned authority, while a hidden message said Liuli and other Mythological Creatures helped strip authority from them and divide it between the starry sky and Gods and Devils.
• Chu Qing inferred that authority returning to the starry sky had condensed into Heaven’s authority and wondered whether Heaven had tried to take authority from the Innate Gods and Demons.

• Chu Qing found Heaven chained in a dark, decaying chamber; one of her consciousnesses urged him to leave, while the other asked him to stay, and Heaven offered him half her authority if he helped her escape.

Chu Qing rescued Heaven from the decay and despair, then warned that her authority was causing the corruption and urged her to abandon it. Heaven refused and threatened him, but Chu Qing declared that his thousand and three blessings and crown title now let him challenge her.

• Heaven tried to leave after sparing Chu Qing for the moment, but Chu Qing invoked his blessings and crown title and demanded that she reconsider abandoning her authority.
