Zhen Yuanzi crippled Zhunti with the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and Houtu’s Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, then went to the Netherworld to speak with Houtu. After Hongjun refused to help Zhunti and Jieyin, Jieyin returned to Mount Sumeru and found Karma alive despite his withered body.

• Jieyin found Karma’s body withered and apparently lifeless, but Karma’s body revived and he spoke to Jieyin.

• Guang Chengzi asked Ming He to let him deliver the invitation to Empress Pingxin, but Ming He offered to take it to the Netherworld himself.

• Guang Chengzi entered Yang Mei’s South Sea Dao Field, and Yang Mei returned him to the Eastern Continent with a message for Cihang.

• Guang Chengzi arrived last at Kunlun Mountain, where disciples from the four sects and the Three Tribes had gathered for the convention.

Representatives from the Phoenix Clan, the Underworld, and the Three Tribes arrived at Kunlun Mountain for the Dao discussion gathering, where four Saints expounded their paths. Kong Xuan found the Heavenly Dao methods troubling and encountered Jieyin's unfinished Dream-Based Sainthood Method.

• Kong Xuan rejected the discomforting methods taught by Zhunti and Yuanshi, then found Jieyin's Dream-Based Sainthood Method intriguing but incomplete.

After the Four Saints finished discussing the Dao, Yuanshi arranged a contest between the Chan Sect and Buddhism, with prizes offered by the Saints and a Ren Water Peach from Tongtian.

• Medicine Master opened the Pure Glass Pure Light World around Chi Jingzi, shocking Yuanshi with his ability to manifest a world infused with laws.

• Laozi sent Xuandu to fight Maitreya, who first used the Human Seed Bag and then attacked with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Zhunti and Jieyin left Kunlun Mountain injured after Laozi and Yuanshi punished them, while Xuan Qing announced that he would organize a new competition open to all beings of the Prehistoric Era. Kong Xuan saw through Zhunti’s concealment and exposed his missing leg to Fei Ying and Jiang Zhu as the Western Teach departed.

• Jiang Zhu described Zhunti and Jieyin’s appearances to the disciples of the Three Tribes, prompting Yuanshi and Laozi to resolve to be more careful around her.

• Fearing the fate awaiting women in her tribe, Hua Xu Shi walked into Lei Ze to seek Great God Lei Ze and change her destiny.

Hua Xu Shi returned from Lei Ze pregnant after nine hundred years unconscious, but the Feng Gun Tribe tried to execute her for supposedly offending its guardian deity. A Qilin protected her, convincing the tribe that her unborn child was divine, and the tribe’s Grand Unity Golden Immortal ancestor went to welcome her.

• After Hua Xu Shi had been missing for over a thousand years, the Feng Gun Tribe blamed her for angering its guardian deity and used her as a cautionary tale.
• Lei Ze left a huge footprint, and when Hua Xu Shi climbed inside, a green light flashed and she lost consciousness; nine hundred years later, she awoke at Lei Ze’s entrance pregnant.
• Hua Xu Shi returned to the Feng Gun Tribe, where two clan members captured her and the tribe prepared to burn her for trespassing in Lei Ze.
• Hua Xu Shi declared that she carried a god’s child, so the Feng Gun Tribe released her but abandoned her on Hua Xu Mountain.
• Ten thousand years later, a Qilin brought Hua Xu Shi a spiritual fruit and guarded her, prompting the Feng Gun Tribe to summon its Grand Unity Golden Immortal ancestor.
• After hearing what had happened, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal ancestor rebuked the clan members and went to welcome Hua Xu Shi.

Han Xi arrived at the Feng Gun Tribe as Hua Xu Shi gave birth to Fuxi, then declared that the child would grow up normally before returning to take him as her disciple. Under the tribe’s care, Fuxi reached the True Immortal realm by age sixteen, astonishing everyone.

• Han Xi descended Hua Xu Mountain and told the Feng Gun Tribe that she was a wandering cultivator, not a god.

• Fuxi returned to the tribe, and Hua Xu Shi gathered the old ancestor, the Clan Leader, and the elders to discuss Han Xi’s task for him.
• Fuxi learned to manage the Feng Gun Tribe and discovered that dwindling prey had left many clan members hungry, with some starving to death.
• Fuxi asked Han Xi why humans needed food, and she explained that acquired humans lacked the innate ability to live on spiritual qi and had to create what they needed themselves.

Fuxi strengthened the Feng Gun Tribe by domesticating animals, developing fishing with nets, and reforming the tribe’s customs and beliefs. After a thousand years of effort and sacrifices, he completely purged the evil influence within the tribe.

• Fuxi enclosed a valley’s wild beasts and raised them, giving the Feng Gun Tribe a steady food supply and earning him the position of Clan Leader.

• Fuxi used forceful measures against stubborn believers in evil gods, and after a thousand years, the evil influence in the Feng Gun Tribe was completely swept away.

Han Xi sent Fuxi to investigate their families and offered Queen Mother of the West the chance to become Fuxi’s wife and the Human Mother, leaving her to weigh the opportunity against her duty to West Kunlun’s female immortals.

• Fuxi approved Kong Xuan’s attack despite the danger to bewitched humans, while Han Xi rescued the captives when demons and monsters threatened them outside First Human City.
• Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light to kill the invading demons and monsters, and Fuxi dealt with resistant clan members and consolidated the tribes under First Human City.

• Han Xi persuaded Queen Mother of the West to accept reincarnation into the Human Race and promised to protect West Kunlun and help her attain the Dao.
• Fuxi discovered that close blood relations among parents were linked to problematic children, so he prohibited marriage among relatives within three generations and promoted family duties.
• Following Han Xi’s advice, Fuxi began searching for a wife and fell in love with Tai Zhen, who supported his reforms.
• Han Xi proposed that Fuxi establish a Human Marriage and promised to invite Nuwa to witness his wedding to Tai Zhen.
