Meanwhile, Peony gathered Fu Jian and San Jie Lang Lang Zi to plan their response to Brahma and Wang Jixuan’s rescue, leaving Wang Jixuan discussing the Great Dao of Death with the faction’s leader.

• Peony reported that Wang Jixuan had received enough information, and Shen Qionglin proposed using Bai Gu and Layman Luoshan’s time travel to create vast numbers of bizarre creatures as reinforcements.
• Bai Gu, Layman Luoshan, and Shen Qionglin disappeared to carry out the plan, while Peony inferred from the Heavenly Dao’s reaction that it had likely succeeded.

• Brahma revealed a massive fleet of warships and mechanical soldiers above Slaughter God Palace, and Black Obsidian realized that his technical support could not have enabled Brahma to build such an advanced force.

• The Grand Beginning Golden Immortals revealed that Brahma had spent hundreds of thousands of years preparing his Mechanical Army and that the Ship of the End was approaching to destroy him and the Immortal Realm.

As Brahma’s fleet advanced on Spear God Palace, Peony urged the human immortals to surrender but then helped them prepare for a desperate defense. The humans began their plan as Sword Nine, Luo Tianjin, and a Slaughter God Palace Vice Palace Master went to negotiate with Brahma, while Wang Jixuan silently revealed that he had returned to the Immortal Realm.

• Luo Tianjin gathered the human experts and called for volunteers to hold Brahma back while Jian Wu’s plan to attack the Heavenly Dao Barrier was debated.

As Sword Nine prepared to resist, San Jie Lang Lang Zi appeared and offered to negotiate personally.

• Peony grew anxious when Wang Jixuan’s body and brainwaves fell silent, while she monitored the Human Race envoys facing Brahma.
• Brahma demanded that the Human Race swear Heavenly Dao Oaths, surrender its Cultivation Methods, destroy Peony’s Second and Third Bases, and parade Wang Jixuan’s corpse.
• Sword Nine challenged Brahma’s claims about the Heavenly Dao, but Brahma ordered hundreds of Heavenly Dao Giant Ships to bombard settlements in Spear God Palace territory.
• Brahma explained that he had delayed revealing his forces because he feared Peony’s future self, then aimed more than a thousand warships at Spear God Palace and the Human Race’s gathered soldiers.
• Sword Nine prepared to strike rather than kneel, but San Jie Lang Lang Zi appeared as a remnant soul and declared that he would negotiate with Brahma personally.

Peony and San Jie Lang Lang Zi stalled Brahma while Wang Jixuan’s soul began returning, but Brahma sealed the Immortal Realm and disrupted the return.
