Zhao Gongming and the Chan Sect immortals joined Lu Jun’s work forging treasures and expanding the stars, while privately wondering about his connection to the Dao Ancestor and his question about their origins. Empress Nuwa then informed the Demon Court’s leaders about the Spiritual Treasure Calamity, leaving them alarmed about how their race would survive another tribulation.

• Empress Nuwa arrived at the Demon Race Heavenly Court and told Bai Ze and the Ten Demon Saints about the Dao Ancestor’s Spiritual Treasure Calamity and Changer Dingguang Xian’s punishment.
• The Demon Saints protested that their race had barely recovered from the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation and worried that the decree would restrict their use of Spiritual Treasures.

• Lu Jun ordered the others to retreat into the Myriad Immortals Array and drew the power of 10,800 stars into his body.

After the demon broke through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Lu Jun cut off the supply, and Di Jun summoned his other bodies to trap and overpower him; Di Jun still demanded that Lu Jun make the demon stronger.

• Di Jun told the Saints that the Sun Star had gathered the prayers of countless demons and that he used its origin to seek a connection with Pangu.
• The Ancestral Witches and Saints doubted that anyone could contact Pangu, and Lu Jun denied having anything to do with Di Jun’s achievement.
• Di Jun explained that Lu Jun’s insight showed him Wish Power could connect both those who received prayers and those who offered them.
• Di Jun revealed that he became Pangu’s devout believer and sent a prayer across the River of Time, using the Sun Star and the wishes of countless beings as a bridge.
• Di Jun said the prayer formed a phantom of Pangu in his sea of consciousness, and he succeeded in summoning Pangu’s Eye to defeat the Chaos Demon God.

Di Jun summoned Pangu’s genuine Eye through the Sun Star, shocking the Saints and making Hongjun feel Pangu’s gaze in Zixiao Palace. Pangu approved of Hongjun’s actions before withdrawing, while Hongjun realized Di Jun had truly summoned Pangu.

• The Saints recognized that Di Jun had used the Sun Star and wish power to draw Pangu’s gaze from the past into the present.
• Di Jiang praised Di Jun’s talent, while Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and the other Saints reacted with awe to his feat.

• Pangu’s gaze told Hongjun, “This time, you have done well,” then vanished, leaving Hongjun to conclude that Di Jun had summoned Pangu’s genuine Will.

Di Jun used faith and the Sun Star’s origin to let Pangu’s will descend into the present, startling Hongjun and changing Pangu’s awareness of the future. After Lu Jun realized how much safer Di Jun’s power could make his position, Di Jun explained that invoking Pangu required immense faith and exceptional foundations.

• Laozi asked whether Di Jun’s method could be replicated, and Di Jun explained that it consumed vast Power of Faith and required foundations like his own.

Di Jun explained how he used the Prehistoric World's Wish Power to communicate with Pangu and pursue Human Path Sainthood, earning congratulations from the Saints. As Houtu feared Lu Jun was preparing for a future catastrophe, Lu Jun realized he might be able to enfeoff the dying Star Demon God with his Investiture of the Gods.

• Di Jun explained that his status, the Sun Star, and the faith of countless beings let him use Wish Power to communicate with Pangu in a way no one else could.
• Laozi, Nuwa, Primeval Lord of Heaven, Sect Master Tongtian, Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches congratulated Di Jun on opening a path to Human Path Sainthood.
• Primeval Lord of Heaven reasoned that Di Jun's method might eventually let Tai Yi, Chang Xi, and Xi He gain Sainthood through Wish Power as well.
• Houtu concluded that Lu Jun had guided Di Jun toward this path as part of a plan to prepare the Prehistoric World for a calamity beyond the Saints' power.
• Lu Jun admired Di Jun's unexpected idea, then looked at the Star Demon God's fading True Spirit and wondered whether his Investiture of the Gods could enfeoff it.

Lu Jun used the Investiture of the Gods to capture a fragment of a Chaos Demon God's True Spirit after Di Jun invoked Pangu's Eye. The Saints recognized a new way to bind Chaos Demon Gods to the Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun judged Lu Jun's strategy as significant as Di Jun's feat.

• Lu Jun unfurled the Investiture of the Gods and forcibly drew the Chaos Demon God's fading True Spirit into it.

• In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun reflected that Lu Jun's capture carried significance for the world's future comparable to Di Jun's invocation of Pangu's Eye.

Hongjun realized the Investiture of the Gods could bind Chaos Demon God spirits, strengthen the Heavenly Dao, and eventually help end the threat of all three thousand Demon Gods. He rewarded Lu Jun and the Star Domain's contributors with Heavenly Dao Merit, and the Star Domain's light and benefits spread across the Prehistoric World as the Saints declared the calamity over.

• Hongjun recognized that listing the Star Demon God's True Spirit let the Heavenly Dao trace and suppress its scattered remnants, and he imagined using the Investiture to bind the other Chaos Demon Gods.
• Hongjun struck Changer Dingguang Xian with Divine Punishment for wasting a place on the list, then resolved to reward Lu Jun and forge Innate Spiritual Treasures with Haotian and Jade Pool's help.
• Hongjun caused Heavenly Dao Merit to descend upon those who had helped expand the Star Domain, forge artifacts, and resist the Demon God's impact.
• Lu Jun's expanding Star Domain intensified its devouring power, and its stellar light increased tenfold, sending nourishing starlight across the Prehistoric World.
• Tongtian and the other Saints relaxed after the Chaos Demon God was eliminated and Heavenly Dao Merit descended; Tongtian declared the calamity over.
