Zhou Qingqing went to attend Fairy Yunhua and Yang Tianyou’s wedding, where she uncovered a Buddhist Heavenly Eye hidden in Yang Tianyou and gave Yunhua a treasure lotus. The Three Pure Ones claimed the couple’s future children as disciples and began blessing Yang Tianyou to reshape the Heavenly Eye.

• Zhou Qingqing learned that Daji had arranged a Heavenly Court wedding for Fairy Yunhua and Yang Tianyou, and she set out with Bai Ze.

The Three Pure Ones blessed Yang Tianyou by transforming his eerie eye into the Heavenly God's Eye and foretold that its power would pass to one of his descendants. As merit descended upon Fairy Yunhua and Yang Tianyou’s marriage, Zhou Qingqing accepted their relationship and resolved to create a Love-Fate System on Blue Planet.

Zhou Qingqing sent Daji to use the Red Embroidered Ball to establish romantic bonds across Blue Planet, then discovered that the mysterious Immortal Fu Yuan had arrived and could not be discerned even by the Three Pure Ones. As Fu Yuan approached Daji, he recognized Nuwa’s Red Embroidered Ball and its power to alter romantic fate.

• Zhou Qingqing gave Supreme Pure Laozi the Three Lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity for Fairy Yunhua’s future daughter, then left with Bai Ze and Daji.
• Zhou Qingqing tasked Daji with using the Red Embroidered Ball to create romantic bonds across Blue Planet, and Daji spread magical red threads across the world.
• Bai Ze woke Zhou Qingqing when an old cultivator approached Daji, and Zhou Qingqing identified him as the mysterious Immortal Fu Yuan.
• Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones tried to discern Fu Yuan’s origins but could not see through him, while Zhou Qingqing’s Golden Eyes found no sign that he was a hidden Buddhist pawn.
• Immortal Fu Yuan noticed that Daji held Nuwa’s Red Embroidered Ball and remarked that it explained her ability to alter romantic fate.

Immortal Fu Yuan confronted Daji on Blue Planet, revealing that he had come to alter destiny rather than oppose her matchmaking. When Daji refused to change the red threads without Zhou Qingqing's approval, Fu Yuan summoned a Fate Talisman to send her back to her own destiny.

• Daji introduced herself as Nuwa's Matchmaker Elder and explained that she had come to Blue Planet under Zhou Qingqing's orders to establish romantic bonds.
• Immortal Fu Yuan said he had no objection to Daji handling marriages, prompting Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones to suspect he was connected to destiny.
• Fu Yuan warned Daji not to turn the red threads into their current state, and Zhou Qingqing realized his concern was destiny rather than marriage.
• Daji refused to alter the red threads without first seeing Zhou Qingqing, and Fu Yuan declared that it was time for Daji to return to her own destiny.
• Fu Yuan produced a Fate Talisman and let its profound light shine before him.

Immortal Fu Yuan used a Destiny Talisman to weaken Daji and claimed he could replace her in handling Blue Planet’s love-fates for Zhou Qingqing. Daji resisted him with the Red Embroidered Ball, and Zhou Qingqing appeared, exposing that his confidence had blinded him to her presence and influence.

• Immortal Fu Yuan showed Daji a vision of her destiny, causing her to loosen her grip on the red threads.
• Daji rejected the fate shown to her, strengthened her Dao heart, and raised the Red Embroidered Ball against Immortal Fu Yuan.
• Immortal Fu Yuan said Daji could not defeat him and claimed he could handle the love-fates without her because his actions were ordained by destiny.
• Daji asked whether Zhou Qingqing had agreed to let him take over, and Immortal Fu Yuan said he would leave her no choice if he remained.
• Zhou Qingqing appeared beside Bai Ze and told Immortal Fu Yuan she would not choose him over Daji.
• Immortal Fu Yuan realized Zhou Qingqing had influenced him without his noticing, despite his command of destiny.

Immortal Fu Yuan tried to escape using his Twelve Flying Talismans after Zhou Qingqing refused to choose him, but Zhou Qingqing stopped him with Daoism’s Five Mountains True Form Diagram. The chapter ended with the talismans shattered and Immortal Fu Yuan falling helplessly.

• Immortal Fu Yuan realized Zhou Qingqing was nearby and tried to leave after she refused to choose him.
• Bai Ze used the Heavenly Net to trap Immortal Fu Yuan, but Immortal Fu Yuan summoned the Twelve Flying Talismans and broke free.
• Zhou Qingqing ordered Bai Ze to retreat and drew Daoism’s Five Mountains True Form Diagram in the air.
• Zhou Qingqing summoned the Five Mountains, shattering Immortal Fu Yuan’s twelve talismans and sending him falling.

Zhou Qingqing defeated Immortal Fu Yuan with her Five Mountains True Form Diagram and questioned his connection to the Fate Demon God. Immortal Fu Yuan admitted to serving Fate and boasted of his destiny, while Zhou Qingqing’s thoughts led her to claim she surpassed Pangu, leaving the Three Pure Ones shaken.

• Zhou Qingqing used her Five Mountains True Form Diagram to suppress Immortal Fu Yuan, and Bai Ze carried him before her.
• Zhou Qingqing asked Immortal Fu Yuan whether the Fate Demon God had arranged him, and he admitted that he had.
• Immortal Fu Yuan claimed he had the destiny to manifest Fate, complete the Three Thousand Great Daos, and raise the Primordial World's dimension.
• The Three Pure Ones realized Immortal Fu Yuan was boasting to save himself and that his claims had made Zhou Qingqing less likely to spare him.
• Zhou Qingqing reasoned that being part of the Chaos Azure Lotus made her greater than Pangu and Fate, leaving the Three Pure Ones alarmed by her thoughts.

Zhou Qingqing decided to punish Immortal Fu Yuan by sending him to fill the North Sea Eye, but a golden Swastika Symbol destroyed him and turned him into Destiny Insight. Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti gained the divine ability, while Qingqing began planning how to stop them from benefiting so easily.

• Zhou Qingqing stopped questioning Immortal Fu Yuan and ordered him sent to plug the North Sea Eye.
• A golden Swastika Symbol appeared before the suppressed Immortal Fu Yuan and transformed him into a divine ability seed called Destiny Insight.
• The Three Pure Ones tried to trace the power behind the Swastika Symbol but failed to catch it before it vanished.
• Daoist Jieyin comprehended Destiny Insight and passed the divine ability to Daoist Zhunti, who welcomed its power to interfere with destiny.
• Zhou Qingqing felt that something was wrong and resolved not to let the Western Sect achieve its goal so easily.

Zhou Qingqing used the indestructible substance in Immortal Fu Yuan’s Destiny Talisman to turn him into the Bitter Love Tree, helping Daji weave fate into her romantic bonds. She then considered how to draw the Two Sages of the West into escalating the coming calamity, with Lu Ya as her likely means.

• Zhou Qingqing used the Dao of Creation to reassemble Immortal Fu Yuan’s Twelve Flying Talismans into the Destiny Talisman and found a speck of indestructible golden light within it.
• Zhou Qingqing used Reincarnation Divine Light to transform the Destiny Talisman into the Bitter Love Tree, preserving a chance for Immortal Fu Yuan to recover someday.
• Zhou Qingqing asked Daji to use the Bitter Love Tree to perfect romantic bonds and told Bai Ze to build Mount Tu for her.
• Daji joined the Bitter Love Tree with the Red Embroidered Ball, causing her red threads on Blue Planet to gain the power of destiny.
• Zhou Qingqing decided to make the Two Sages of the West step in and raise the stakes, thinking she might need to rely on Lu Ya.

Lu Ya followed Zhou Qingqing’s plan and presented the Two Sages of the West with straw dolls made using the Curse Great Dao, which they believed could harm Daoism’s disciples. The sages agreed to remove Nuwa’s protection so the curse could take effect, while Lu Ya later failed to meet Zhou Qingqing and received her reply through Bai Ze.

• Zhou Qingqing proposed that Lu Ya make straw dolls and claim they formed a Heavenly Curse Formation, and the Three Pure Ones recognized how the idea could mislead the Western sages.
• Lu Ya sensed that Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti had gained Destiny Insight, then chose to follow Zhou Qingqing’s plan instead of warning them about her alliance with the Three Pure Ones.
• Lu Ya told the Two Sages of the West that his straw dolls used the Curse Great Dao to curse the other lords, and they used Destiny Insight to see the dolls as having the destiny to gravely injure or kill Daoism’s disciples.
• Daoist Jieyin said the curses would need to bypass Nuwa’s protection, and he and Daoist Zhunti agreed to handle it so Lu Ya could proceed.
• Lu Ya contacted Bai Ze afterward but did not see Zhou Qingqing; Bai Ze relayed that she understood, leaving Lu Ya resigned to her scheming ways.

Zhou Qingqing watched the Four Symbols Star Lords demonstrate their mastery of the Balance Great Dao on Golden Turtle Island, while Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin seized the moment to begin their plan. Zhou Qingqing considered a path of Fortune Dragons for Yang Jiao, but Daji’s message interrupted her.

• Zhou Qingqing and Bai Ze arrived at Golden Turtle Island, where Azure Dragon asked her to watch the Four Symbols Star Lords display their cultivation.
• Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise gathered their starlight around the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu and demonstrated the laws of the Balance Great Dao.
• Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin decided that Zhou Qingqing’s attention was elsewhere, so they moved to act while Jieyin concealed their traces and Zhunti departed with the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree.
• Zhou Qingqing watched Yang Jiao admire Azure Dragon’s sacred beast form and considered guiding him to cultivate through Fortune Dragons.
• Zhou Qingqing began to offer guidance to Yang Jiao and Azure Dragon, but a message from Daji reached her.

Zhou Qingqing asked Upper Pure Master Tongtian to punish the Western Saints for entering Blue Planet, and Tongtian agreed to draw his sword. Meanwhile, Daoist Zhunti secretly entered the Temple of the Holy Mother and attacked Nuwa’s statue to intensify the Calamity, leaving Nuwa sensing a change but unable to discover its cause.

• Daoist Zhunti empowered the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree with Destiny Dao resonance and struck Nuwa’s statue while Jieyin concealed him.
• Nuwa sensed a change from Nuwa Palace, but the Calamity’s chaotic heavenly secrets prevented her from finding its source.

Nuwa sensed a hidden change in the Calamity on Blue Planet, and Fuxi gathered the Human Dao Saints to watch for it. Daoist Zhunti attacked Nuwa's statue in the Temple of the Holy Mother, but Zhou Qingqing arrived in her true form to block him, and he began using the Karma Great Dao to bypass her defense.

• Nuwa told Fuxi she sensed a change within the Calamity but could not identify its source, and Fuxi's divination found nothing.
• Nuwa and Fuxi suspected the Western Sages were behind the disturbance, and Fuxi summoned the Human Dao Saints to observe Blue Planet.
• Daoist Zhunti struck at Nuwa's statue with the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, but Zhou Qingqing blocked the attack with the 24-Petal Creation Azure Lotus.
• Daoist Zhunti claimed he had come to make the place a pure land for the West, then invoked the Karma Great Dao and used the words "Infinite Void" against Zhou Qingqing.

Zhou Qingqing and Upper Pure Master Tongtian caught Daoist Zhunti making a move, and Tongtian cut him in half before forcing him toward Chaos. Human Dao Saints witnessed the pair depart, while Nuwa realized they had uncovered the Western Sect’s role in the Calamity.

• Upper Pure Master Tongtian struck Daoist Zhunti with the Immortal-Exterminating Sword and severed him at the waist, but Zhunti regenerated with his Karma Sarira.
• Daoist Jieyin questioned whether his concealment of heavenly secrets had been useless after Zhunti was discovered again.
• Daoist Zhunti refused Zhou Qingqing and Tongtian’s invitation to go beyond Chaos, so Tongtian pierced his collar with the Immortal-Trapping Sword and carried him away.
• Fuxi and the other Human Dao Saints saw Tongtian drag Daoist Zhunti from Blue Planet toward Chaos.
• Nuwa recognized that Zhou Qingqing and Tongtian had uncovered the Western Sect’s scheme and were preparing to take action.

• Master Tongtian accused both Western Saints of breaking Zhou Qingqing’s rules and said they would face consequences.
• Daoist Jieyin tried to persuade Zhou Qingqing to stop Master Tongtian, unaware that she also wanted to punish the Western Saints.

• Zhou Qingqing refused to negotiate with Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti.
• Master Tongtian said Qingqing’s refusal represented the will of the Three Pure Ones and challenged the Western Duo to evade his Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.
• Daoist Jieyin called Daoist Zhunti over and concluded that they had to fight Master Tongtian in Chaos.
• The observers watching through the Chaos Bell saw Master Tongtian and Zhou Qingqing separate from the Two Sages of the West and prepared to witness the battle.
