After Fuxi departed, Nuwa decided to visit Buzhou Mountain and seek Wu Ming's promise to spare her brother.

• Hongjun declared that the Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Heavenly Dao’s grand trend could not be changed, and Zhou Ming challenged him to fight.

• Zhou Ming’s Pangu’s True Body defeated Hongjun in battle, and Zhou Ming repeated the Witch Clan’s demand to stay out of the Tribulation.
• Hongjun said the Witch Clan’s fate was fixed by the Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao descended through him and offered to spare the clan if Zhou Ming imprisoned himself in Zixiao Palace.

He spared Di Jun and Taiyi while claiming the Chaos Bell, then returned to Pangu Hall with the Twelve Ancestor Witches to discuss what came next.

• Dijiang asked Zhou Ming why he had insisted that the Witch Clan avoid the Tribulation and made Hongjun agree to it.
• Zhurong, Gonggong, and the other Ancestor Witches urged Zhou Ming to destroy the Demon Clan and kill Di Jun and Taiyi.
• Zhou Ming explained that Tribulations produced Karma through slaughter and destruction, which could ruin even powerful clans, as had happened to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
• Zhou Ming warned that exterminating the Demon Clan would burden the Witch Clan with immense Karma and go against Pangu’s purpose for the Primordial Wilderness.
• Zhou Ming said killing Di Jun and Taiyi would not stop the Heavenly Dao from creating new Persons of Destiny and a new Demon Clan, and that the surviving leaders might be useful later.
• Zhou Ming began explaining that he had demanded Hongjun’s agreement because Hongjun represented the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial Wilderness.

Zhou Ming explained why the Witch Clan could not simply avoid the Witch-Demon Tribulation and urged the Ancestral Witches to cultivate before the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun recovered. Zhurong proposed killing the future Sages, and Zhou Ming sarcastically called him a genius.

• Zhou Ming told the Ancestral Witches that the Witch Clan was already caught up in the Tribulation and needed the Heavenly Dao's promise to escape its schemes and Karma.
• Zhou Ming warned that the Witch Clan depended on the Thirteen Heavenly Gods and Fiends Array and Pangu's will, and urged them to cultivate toward Hunyuan.
• Houtu asked how Zhou Ming had summoned Father God's will, and Zhou Ming claimed his years of communication and filial piety had earned Father God's help.
• Zhou Ming warned that the Witch Clan had caught the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun by surprise and needed to grow stronger before they recovered and the six future Sages rose.
• Zhurong proposed killing the six future Sages before they became powerful, and the other Ancestral Witches agreed.
