Taiyi and the Demon Race fought Dong Wang Gong and the Immortal Court, and the escalating battle prompted many powerful cultivators to break through into the Quasi-Saint Realm. The Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches intervened to halt the fighting at Zhou Mountain, but Di Jun refused to leave without an explanation from Dong Wang Gong, provoking Zhurong.

• Taiyi revealed his Quasi-Saint breakthrough and fought Dong Wang Gong as the Immortal Court clashed with Bai Ze, Kunpeng, and the Demon Sages.

• Di Jun also instructed Bai Ze to discuss the River Diagram and Luo Shu with Fuxi, offering the treasures and inviting Fuxi and Nuwa to become Demon Emperors.

Bai Ze carried Di Jun’s proposal and the River Diagram and Luo Shu toward Zhou Mountain, while Kunpeng returned to the North Sea and began deciphering Dao Inscriptions. Nuwa sensed Bai Ze’s arrival and its significance, then went to the Taichu Realm, where Taichu confronted the Heavenly Dao over its interference with the Primordial Wilderness.

• Taichu observed the events from the Taichu Realm and speculated that Kunpeng's Literary Dao Fortune might let him survive the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation.

The Demon Script boosted the Demon Race’s Fortune, but Dong Wang Gong’s rumors made Di Jun prepare to attack the Immortal Court. A sudden opportunity drew Di Jun, Taiyi, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, Red Cloud, and Qing Ze to Kunwu Mountain, where they broke an innate array and gathered before entering.

• Dong Wang Gong spread rumors that Di Jun coveted Kunpeng’s Merit and could not tolerate contributors, angering Di Jun and unsettling the Demon Race.
