As Nuwa neared attaining the Dao, Heavenly Dao Hongjun refused to intervene personally and sent his Evil Corpse with the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Qiankun Demon Gods. Their arrival at Mount Buzhou left Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones suspecting Hongjun was behind the new threat.

• Zhou Qingqing worried that Hongjun might personally step in before Nuwa attained the Dao, and the Three Pure Ones recognized that they could not oppose him.

Fuxi attacked the three reincarnated Demon Gods, but the Qiankun Cauldron overwhelmed him until Supreme Pure Laozi intervened with the Taiji Diagram. Zhou Qingqing recognized the earthworm within the three Demon Gods’ primordial spirits as Hongjun’s true form, and the three began fusing their bodies, spirits, and Great Dao laws.

• The three earthworm segments glowed and pulled the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Qiankun Demon Gods together, beginning to fuse their bodies, primordial spirits, and Great Dao laws.

Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones watched the Chaos Demon Gods fuse around Hongjun’s Earthworm body, and Master Tongtian tried to interrupt them with the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. His attack left only four white marks, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s Pangu Banner strike provoked the Demon God shadows to fuse even faster.

• Zhou Qingqing wondered whether Hongjun’s corpse-severing technique came from the Earthworm’s true body, and the Three Pure Ones agreed that the Earthworm was central to the fusion.
• Master Tongtian sent the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords at the merging Demon Gods, aiming to strike the Earthworm at their center.
• Hongjun dismissed Tongtian’s attack, and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords left only four white marks on the Earthworm.

• The Demon God shadows responded to the Open Heaven Qi Blade with fury, and their fusion accelerated.

Hongjun fused the Five Elements Demon God, Yin-Yang Demon God, and Qiankun Demon God into a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. The fused Demon God crushed Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s Open Heaven Qi Blade, leaving the gathered cultivators stunned.

• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate realized that using the Open Heaven Qi Blade had stirred the Demon Gods’ resentment toward Pangu.
• The Five Elements Demon God, Yin-Yang Demon God, and Qiankun Demon God fused, and their combined aura surpassed the Saint level.
• Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones wondered whether Hongjun intended to use the fused Demon God to end the conflict and prevent others from attaining the Dao through laws.
• The living beings of the Primordial World recognized the fused being as a combination of three ancient Chaos Demon Gods.
• The fused Demon God invoked Heaven and Earth, Qiankun, Yin-Yang, and Five Elements before crushing the Open Heaven Qi Blade with his palm.

Supreme Pure Laozi confronted the fused Chaos Demon God while Tongtian held the others back with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. After their powers proved evenly matched, the Demon God unleashed a torrent of fused laws, forcing Laozi to enter his Darkened state.

• Supreme Pure Laozi told Tongtian to hold the enemy back, and Tongtian formed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation around Mount Fengqi.
• Supreme Pure Laozi stepped forward to face the fused Chaos Demon God and summoned three figures through One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
• The Demon God attacked with Qiankun, yin-yang, and five-element powers, while Laozi's three figures used their supreme treasures to block the attacks.
• The Demon God unleashed several rapidly fused divine abilities, overwhelming Laozi with a torrent of Great Dao laws.
• Supreme Pure Laozi recited the Heavenly Demon Method and entered his Darkened state, which Zhou Qingqing recognized.

Supreme Pure Laozi entered his emotionless Supreme Heavenly Demon state and used the Limitless Dao to destroy the Earthworm and the other Demon Gods. Zhou Qingqing retrieved the Qiankun Cauldron but warned Eldest Master that the Earthworm might not be completely dead.

• Supreme Pure Laozi used his Supreme Heavenly Demon state to repel the Demon Gods' combined attacks and recognized the three wounds Upper Pure Tongtian had left on the Earthworm.
• Supreme Pure Laozi recalled Zhou Qingqing's explanation of Limitless and transformed his Supreme Ultimate Great Dao into Supreme Limitless.
• Supreme Limitless struck through the Earthworm's three wounds, withered its body, and caused the Demon Gods' phantom to vanish.
• Zhou Qingqing stored the Qiankun Cauldron in her Lotus Space and urged Eldest Master to finish off the Earthworm in case it survived.

After the Three Pure Ones destroyed the Earthworm with a Rebirth Mantra, Heavenly Dao Hongjun abandoned his attempt to topple Mount Buzhou and declared that Nuwa’s effort to become a Human Dao Saint would fail. Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones turned their attention to Nuwa, hoping she could now attain the Dao without disaster.

• The Three Pure Ones used their Lingbaos to destroy the Earthworm’s remaining traces after Zhou Qingqing warned them to deliver a finishing blow.
• Supreme Pure Laozi recited the Rebirth Mantra, and the light erased the dust containing Hongjun’s evil thoughts and the Earthworm’s body.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun lamented the Earthworm’s destruction, abandoned his plan to topple Mount Buzhou, and predicted Nuwa would fail to become a Human Dao Saint.
• The Three Pure Ones concluded that Hongjun was unlikely to intervene a fourth time and believed they had cleared the way for Nuwa.
• Zhou Qingqing turned her attention back to Lady Nuwa on Mount Fengqi.

Nuwa renounced her position as a Heavenly Dao Saint and began reviving the Human Dao so she could attain sainthood through it. As the beings of the Primordial World watched, she formed Humanity Purple Qi and prepared to merge it into her heart.

• Nuwa emerged from seclusion on Mount Fengqi, revealing that Houtu, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti had been battling there while the Three Pure Ones protected her.
• Nuwa declared that she would use all her power to revive the Human Dao and make it stand alongside the Primordial World.
• The beings of the Primordial World realized that Nuwa had abandoned her Heavenly Dao sainthood to become a Human Dao Saint, and that the Saints' battle had been over her attempt to attain the Dao.
• The fighting demons and humans stopped to watch as Nuwa summoned Humanity Purple Qi from the fortune of the Human Race.
• Nuwa said she would merge Primordial Purple Qi into her heart to attain the rank of Human Dao Saint and manifest the Human Dao.

Nuwa’s attempt to attain the Human Dao stalled because the Witch-Demon Calamity had not returned enough spiritual energy to heaven and earth, and she refused to advance it by causing mass deaths. Laozi then proposed bringing the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu into the Primordial World, where it began drawing in the Calamity’s dense aura.

• Nuwa’s Primordial Purple Qi merged with her heart’s light, but she could not transform her mana into Primordial Chaos or attain sainthood.
• Laozi explained that the Witch-Demon Calamity had not ended and that too little spiritual energy had returned to heaven and earth for Nuwa to attain the Human Dao.
• Nuwa understood that continuing the Calamity along its original course would require the Witch, Demon, and Human races to suffer mass deaths, and she refused to do so.
• Laozi remembered the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu on Golden Turtle Island and urged Tongtian to have Azure Dragon release it into the Primordial World.
• Tongtian ordered Azure Dragon and Red Cloud to act, and Azure Dragon transformed into his true form and made the Jianmu grow until it reached the heavenly firmament.
• The Heaven-Piercing Jianmu appeared before the Primordial World, and the dense aura of the Calamity surged toward it.

Zhou Qingqing used the Five Mountains True Form Diagram to bring the Five Sacred Mountains to Mount Buzhou, restoring its Pangu pressure and transforming it into Mount Zhou. The Primordial World witnessed the mountain’s completion, while Di Jun realized that the treasure he had given Zhou Qingqing had helped make it happen.

• The Heaven-Piercing Jianmu purified the aura of Calamity into innate spiritual energy, and the Primordial World’s great powers saw Azure Dragon’s strength and fortune restored.
• Supreme Pure Laozi gave Zhou Qingqing the Five Mountains True Form Diagram and told her to place it on Mount Buzhou.
• Zhou Qingqing placed the diagram on Mount Buzhou and summoned the Five Sacred Mountains, which flew across the Primordial World and converged around the mountain.
• The Five Sacred Mountains restored Mount Buzhou’s ancient Pangu pressure and strengthened it, suppressing even saints from afar.
• Supreme Pure Laozi declared that the completed Mount Buzhou would henceforth be called Mount Zhou, and Di Jun realized his diagram had helped bring about its transformation.

Mount Buzhou was restored as Mount Zhou, completing Nuwa’s spiritual energy but leaving her path to sainthood uncertain. After Zhou Qingqing suggested that Nuwa use the Five-Colored Stones to forge a Primordial Sacred Sword and open the Human Dao, Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate urged Nuwa to refine a sword with Qingqing’s Qiankun Cauldron.

• The Three Pure Ones restored Mount Buzhou with the Five Sacred Mountains, and it became Mount Zhou.
• Heavenly Dao Hongjun concluded that Nuwa still lacked the means to gather the hearts of all living beings and attain the Dao.
• Zhou Qingqing realized Nuwa’s path had become too shallow because she had not refined stones to Mend the Heavens.
• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate proposed that Nuwa continue refining artifacts with her Five-Colored Stones.
• Zhou Qingqing offered Nuwa the Qiankun Cauldron and imagined a Primordial Sacred Sword that could open the Human Dao and raise the Primordial World to a higher dimension.
• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate encouraged Nuwa to use the Five-Colored Stones and Qiankun Cauldron to forge a sword for attaining the Dao.
