Li Yun infiltrated the Demon Clan’s regional base in search of the Jade Talisman’s holder and gathered information while keeping his identity concealed. He learned that the Eastern Emperor was coming in response to Li Yun’s attacks, leaving him near the Demon Clan’s Grand Unity Golden Immortals and the guarded valley where the Quasi-Saint Demon Gods resided.

• After learning Eastern Emperor Taiyi was coming, Li Yun hurried to the valley to locate the remaining Jade Talismans.

• Heavenly Eye Yao God demanded that Li Yun surrender, promising not to harm him and to send him out of the East Sea.

• Li Yun rejected Heavenly Eye Yao God's demand that he leave the East Sea and accused the Demon Clan of breaking its agreement with the saints.
• Heavenly Eye Yao God ordered the two Demon Gods to attack, and their laws of fixation and space bound Li Yun and opened a Space Tunnel behind him.

• Li Yun used the law of strength to break free of the bindings, but the tunnel had collapsed ahead of him and was carrying him toward its exit.
• Li Yun used the Gan Qi Axe to tear open the tunnel and was swept through the breach into an unknown location.

Li Yun escaped the Space Tunnel and discovered that nearly three hundred years had passed, leaving the Human Race territory overrun by the Demon Clan and its Safe Zones sealed off.

• Li Yun decided to search for surviving Human Race members and rescue as many as he could before leaving to relay the news to the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

After failing to find many surviving humans, Li Yun left the East Sea and fought through the Demon Clan forces guarding its borders. He defeated the Demon God who had once trapped him, but the Eastern Emperor intervened to save the Demon God’s primordial spirit.

• Li Yun spent fifty years searching beyond the Safe Zones, rescuing fewer than a hundred thousand humans and finding many tribes massacred.

• Li Yun arrived in the Western Lands and saw the Witch Clan and cultivators working together to restore the Earth Veins and increase spiritual energy.
• Xing Tian told Li Yun that the Ancestor Witches had ordered the work and that participants earned Merit, noting that Zhen Yuanzi had gained much and seemed close to advancing.
• Li Yun asked Xing Tian whether he had noticed any changes after gaining Merit.

Li Yun suggested that the Witch Clan could use Merit to draw out their True Spirits and form Primordial Spirits. After Xing Tian confirmed the idea had promise, he agreed to bring Li Yun to the Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones.

Li Yun told the Three Pure Ones that the Demon Clan had used a Jade Talisman to attack the Human Race’s Safe Zones, prompting them to realize the incident was part of Di Jun’s scheme against Nuwa. Yuanshi Tianzun then suspected that someone else had created the talisman.

• Li Yun told the Three Pure Ones that he had gathered nearly thirty percent of the Human Race before being driven from its territory.

• Yuanshi Tianzun reasoned that neither Nuwa nor an ordinary cultivator could have made the Jade Talisman, suggesting another party was behind it.

Li Yun learned that the Nine Nether Seal had connected the Witch Clan to the Earthly Dao, potentially allowing Xuanming and other Ancestor Witches to attain Dao. As the Three Pure Ones planned to deepen their ties with the Witch Clan and restore the earth veins, Laozi told Jieyin and Zhunti that merit could nurture a merit true spirit from the Witch Clan’s damaged primordial spirit fragments.

• Laozi revealed that the Nine Nether Seal had enabled the Witch Clan to contact the Earthly Dao, and Li Yun considered how Xuanming might become a Saint.

The Five Saints examined the damaged main Earth Vein outside Mount Sumeru and discussed repairing it with Yuanshi Tianzun’s Three-Light Divine Water. As they negotiated compensation, Sect Master Tongtian offered to trade his Nine Treasures Scepter for a branch of Zhunti’s Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, leaving Zhunti to decide.

• Jieyin and Zhunti showed the Five Saints the ruined main Earth Vein and explained that its damage had left the region barren.

The Three Pure Ones departed to address the Human Race and Demon Clan conflict, while Jieyin gifted Li Yun a Golden Body Method and revealed that Li Yun’s physical cultivation had reached the Quasi-Saint stage.

• Zhunti proposed inviting displaced races to settle in the Western Region and taking members of their clans as disciples, and Jieyin assigned him to carry out the plan.
• Jieyin asked Zhunti to investigate the Human, Chan, and Jie Sect Disciples spreading their teachings among the Human Race and why Nuwa’s fortune had gone to Li Yun.
• The Three Pure Ones brought Li Yun to Wa Huang Palace, where Nuwa dismissed the Inner Disciples and ordered Di Yi to welcome them.

Nuwa introduced her three Direct Disciples to the Three Pure Ones, including the mysterious Lan Yue, whose origins lay at the boundary between Chaos and the Primordial World.

Nuwa began to suspect Hongjun, while Li Yun realized the Human Race would have to rely on itself and continued drinking Nuwa’s Stellar Essence wine.

• Di Yi left Wa Huang Palace, and Nuwa dismissed Huo Ling'er and Lan Yue while allowing Li Yun to remain with the Three Pure Ones.

• Yuanshi Tianzun said Hongjun was likely responsible for the interference, while the Three Pure Ones noted that Nuwa’s side had suffered greater losses.

Nuwa learned that Hongjun had helped Di Jun and the others provoke conflict with the Three Pure Ones, and she suspected Fuxi had betrayed her too. She promised to sever all ties with the Human Race, but Fuxi arrived with news of a deadly Demon Clan attack there.

• Nuwa realized Hongjun had likely helped Di Jun and the others undermine her agreement with the Three Pure Ones, and she suspected Fuxi had kept the operation from her.
• Nuwa concealed her suspicions from Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Sect Master Tongtian, and Li Yun, then agreed to stop contacting the Human Race and entering its territory.

Di Jun arrived and exposed that Fuxi had known about the matter much earlier, leaving Fuxi’s scheme under scrutiny.

• Nuwa asked Fuxi when he had learned the information, and his expression stiffened.
• Di Jun and Di Yi entered the hall before Fuxi could explain himself.
• Di Jun accused Fuxi of withholding the information, noting that cultivators from the Fuxi Palace lineage had returned from Human Race territory before Pangolin delivered the news.

• Nuwa asked whether Li Yun could kill Quasi-Saint Late Stage opponents, and Li Yun confirmed he could defeat ordinary ones but not those with exceptional potential or bloodlines.
• Di Yi and the others reacted with surprise at Li Yun's strength, and Li Yun explained that his Quasi-Saint Middle Stage physical body and bloodline had driven his rapid growth.
