Jiang Ziya cursed the Heavenly Dao and swore not to become a Saint until the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation ended, prompting the Great Dao to destroy the Primordial Universe's Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao then established a new Heavenly Dao and helped Human Emperor Di Xin become a Saint, while the Human Realm was sealed off from cultivators for a hundred years.

• Jiang Ziya offered his blood, cursed the Heavenly Dao, and made a Great Vow never to become a Saint before the tribulation ended.

• Tongtian chose the reward that granted him the Nine Lives Flower and Western Cloud Realm Plain Colored Banner, then used the Five Directions Banners to trap a shadow attacking Di Xin.
• Di Xin absorbed merit as a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon transformed and merged with his Dharma Body, making him a Saint of the Human Dao independent of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
• The Human Dao reached minor accomplishment, and Di Xin ordered the people to end their prayers and proclamations.

After Di Xin’s Human Dao teaching produced a new generation of disciples, Tongtian explained Jiang Ziya’s Congruent Dao and began preparing the realms needed for it. He went to the Netherworld to ask Houtu for help establishing the Asura Realm.

• Di Xin taught at Mount Tai for eighty-one days, then accepted more than a thousand Human Dao disciples and chose Zhang Tianhua, Earth Dragon Son, and Wang Piao as his personal disciples.

• Jiang Ziya accepted Tongtian’s explanation and began cultivating in seclusion on Golden Ao Island.

• Tongtian arrived in the Netherworld and explained his plan to Houtu, who praised his idea of establishing another Congruent Dao.

Tongtian visited Houtu, learned the Asura Race had disappeared from the Sea of Blood, and discovered her feelings for him. He persuaded Old Ancestor of the Sea of Blood to leave for seclusion, then found a hidden underground world where the Asuras had been living all along.

• Houtu told Tongtian that the Asuras had vanished from the Sea of Blood, and offered to help him establish the Asura Realm.
