Fuxi also died protecting the battlefield, but Goddess Nüwa recovered his true spirit and vowed to help him return through reincarnation; Dijiang then sent Gonggong to attack Mount Sumeru.

• Dijiang and the Ancestral Witches survived the explosion behind Pangu Hall, and Dijiang kicked Gonggong toward Mount Sumeru and ordered him to ram it in half.

• Sage Zhunti renamed Jieyin Amitabha Buddha, himself Zhunti Buddha Mother, Mount Sumeru Spirit Mountain, and the Western Paradise; the Heavenly Dao responded.

Zhunti established Buddhism as a separate lineage with Hongjun’s approval, restoring the Western Sect’s Fortune but finding it insufficient to save Jieyin or the shattered Western World. He then made eighty-one vows to borrow more merit from the Heavenly Dao, leaving Wu Tian astonished at the new turn of events.

• Zhunti proposed breaking from the Mysterious Sect and establishing Buddhism, and Hongjun granted his request despite the loss of Mysterious Sect Fortune.
• Wu Tian declined Dijiang’s suggestion to stop the ceremony, judging that the Witch-Demon Tribulation had already been sufficiently resolved.
• Zhunti’s designated treasures suppressed Buddhist Fortune as the Western Sect’s Fortune transformed and stabilized, but Zhunti realized it still could not support the Western World.
• Zhunti made vows to the Heavenly Dao, and after he exceeded forty-nine vows, Golden Light of Merit began to gather.
• Zhunti completed eighty-one great vows as merit accumulated, and Wu Tian stared in astonishment at the Heavenly Dao’s response.

Wu Tian forced Zhunti to surrender half of Mount Sumeru as interest for the West’s karmic debt, while Hongjun declared the Witch-Demon Tribulation over and ordered the Witch and Demon races to leave the Primordial Wilderness.

• Zhunti used his grand vows and Heavenly Dao merit to reunite the shattered Western World, suppress the Demonic Realm beneath Spirit Mountain, and stabilize Buddhism’s Fortune.

After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, Wu Tian planned for the Witch Clan to leave the Primordial Wilderness with Mount Buzhou, while Dao Ancestor Hongjun watched warily. Dijiang led the Ancestral Witches in a plea to Father God, and Mount Buzhou responded as Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at Pangu’s manifested will.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun reflected on how Wu Tian had prevented Mount Buzhou from collapsing and realized that the mountain’s Pangu will remained a problem for the Heavenly Dao.
• Wu Tian understood that Hongjun wanted the Witch and Demon Clans to leave and signaled Dijiang to carry out their plan to take Mount Buzhou with them.

Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches called on Pangu’s remaining will to take Mount Buzhou into the Origin Realm, while Hongjun ordered the other Saints to stabilize the Primordial World. Mount Buzhou began descending into the Origin Realm, where Empress Pingxin’s Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Six Paths of Reincarnation helped support the realm.

• Dijiang and the Ancestral Witches pleaded for Mount Buzhou to leave with the Witch Clan, and Yuanshi objected.

• Empress Pingxin sent the Twenty-Four Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus into the Origin Realm as Wu Tian opened a passage and drew Mount Buzhou through it.
• Mount Buzhou’s weight damaged the Origin Realm’s space, but the Reincarnation Purple Lotus stabilized it and a phantom Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared to support it.

Xuan Wu sacrificed his four limbs to support the heavens as Mount Buzhou withdrew into the Origin Realm, and Wu Tian sent Jianmu to take its place. The Primordial World’s three Daos empowered Xuan Wu’s pillars, and Jianmu grew to the Thirty-Three Heavens as Mount Buzhou vanished.

• Xuan Wu vowed before Heaven and Earth to sacrifice his North Sea Black Tortoise body and use his limbs to support the heavens.

• Mount Buzhou descended into the Primal World, expanding its boundaries and strengthening its space as Wu Tian gained insights and power.
• Wangshu, Queen Mother of the West, and Wu Tian’s spiritual roots and treasures protected the Witch Clan and Human Clan inhabitants from the upheaval.
• Wu Tian realized that the Primordial World no longer needed its heavens mended, but expected Nüwa’s opportunity to come later when Jianmu was cut down.
• Nüwa suspected Fuxi’s opportunity lay in the Human Dao and worried Wu Tian might hinder it, so she tried to curry favor with him.
• Tribulation qi dissipated, and Heavenly Dao power gathered into auspicious clouds and golden merit as Wu Tian anticipated the settlement.

Heavenly Merit descended after Xuan Wu supported the heavens, rewarding him, Wu Tian, and their allies while granting Xuan Wu a Merit Treasure made from his former body. As the Ancestral Witches prepared to leave the Primordial Wilderness, Yuanshi fumed over how much the Witch Clan had gained.

• Wu Tian dismissed the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation, and the Ancestral Witches gathered beside him as the battle ended.

After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Ancestral Witches chose to return to the Underworld with Empress Pingxin, strengthening the Earthly Dao. As Wu Tian was being carried away, Taiyi tried to escape in the Chaos Bell and revealed his plan to take the Heavenly Court for the Demon Clan, which Wu Tian dismissed as impossible.

• Dijiang asked Empress Pingxin to let the Ancestral Witches settle in the Underworld, and she agreed to take them there.
• Empress Pingxin used the Twenty-Four Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus to carry the Ancestral Witches, Xuan Wu, Kong Xuan, and others toward the Underworld.

• Taiyi told Wu Tian that he wanted to take the Thirty-Three Heavens and give the Demon Clan a place to live.
• Wu Tian refused to help Taiyi, saying that even Di Jun could not take the Heavenly Court away.

• Wu Tian told Taiyi that the Demon Emperor’s sacrifice had destroyed Jieyin’s body, driven the West back, and dispersed the tribulation aura.

• Wu Tian bid farewell to Taiqing and Tongtian, promising to return and discuss the Dao with Tongtian, then entered the Underworld Passage.

• Taiyi asked whether Di Jun was alive, but Wu Tian said Di Jun had truly died.

Wu Tian revealed that Di Jun’s true spirit had survived and brought him out of the Chaos Calabash to reunite with Taiyi. Di Jun chose to reincarnate and contend for the Fortune of the Human Dao, then asked Wu Tian to help with several matters he wanted settled before reincarnation.
