• In the Great Dao Hall, Sect Master Tongtian, Grand Pure Laozi, and Venerable Yuanshi grew angry over Duobao’s attacks on their disciples and Randeng.

At Great Dao Hall, the Three Pure Ones clashed over the Interception Sect’s conduct, while Hongjun eventually stopped their quarrel and the Saints paid their wager to Qingyuan. Hongjun then proposed a seventy-thirty division of the gains from suppressing Yang Mei, and Qingyuan challenged his claim to seventy percent.

• The Two Shakya reluctantly paid their treasure and wrote an IOU after Zhunti disputed the wager’s outcome and Hongjun rebuked him.
• Hongjun gave Qingyuan the wagered treasures and proposed taking seventy percent of the gains from suppressing Yang Mei, but Qingyuan objected that no such share had been agreed upon.

• Qingyuan agreed to Hongjun’s plan but asked to borrow the Creation Jade Disk, prompting Hongjun to defer the matter until after Yang Mei was refined.
• Qingyuan concealed his traces in a remote part of Chaos and used Great Dao Laws to refine the Wind Chaos Demon God inside the Nine Ancient Steles Pagoda.
• Hongjun returned to Zixiao Palace and used the Creation Jade Disk and Heavenly Dao to search Chaos for Yang Mei.
• Yang Mei repeatedly self-destructed his avatars when Hongjun approached, destroying Hongjun’s Dao body dozens of times before agreeing to speak.
• Hongjun told Yang Mei that he planned to gather ten Hunyuan Saints to kill Great Love Heavenly Venerate, then asked Yang Mei to describe everything that had happened to him.

• Yang Mei explained why he had suspected Hongjun of plotting against him, citing the Heavenly Dao aura, Hongjun's presence, and Haotian's involvement.
• Hongjun proposed using Yang Mei's spatial Divine Ability to pull Great Love Heavenly Venerate away from the Great Dao Hall, and revealed that he could reverse the River of Time.

• Yang Mei later sat alone in Chaos, silently contemplating the plan before disappearing from that stretch of Space-Time.
• Grand Pure Laozi reassured the defeated Xuandu that his loss to Daoist Duobao was not his fault, gave him Golden Cores to heal, and told him to return after recovering.

Hongjun recruited Taiqing and Yuanshi into a plan to feign an attack on Yang Mei before joining forces against the Great Love Heavenly Venerate. At the same time, Yuanshi rebuked his disciples for wanting to assist Randeng, while Tongtian left Duobao kneeling outside Biyou Palace with no sign of forgiveness.

• Hongjun told Taiqing that he and Yang Mei would stage a conflict before turning on the Great Love Heavenly Venerate, and Taiqing agreed to help.
• Hongjun refused to involve the Human Dao’s three Hunyuan Saints and warned that they could face consequences after the plan succeeded.

• Hongjun explained his plan to Yuanshi, who agreed to assist and was told to wait until the Great Love Heavenly Venerate lowered his guard.
• Tongtian opened Biyou Palace’s doors while Duobao knelt outside, then shut them again, extinguishing Duobao’s hope of being forgiven.

Daoist Duobao spiraled into despair after believing Tongtian had rejected him, while Hongjun secretly recruited Tongtian to help target Fang. Meanwhile, Shennong’s travels and service as an official brought medical, agricultural, and administrative reforms that improved life in his region.

• After Biyou Palace closed, Daoist Duobao imagined that Tongtian despised him, lashed out at cultivators, and sparked rumors that he had gone mad and been crippled.
• Daoist Duobao returned to his dojo, shut himself away, and searched the library until he found the Wordless Buddhist Scripture.
• Hongjun visited Tongtian and ordered him to watch the Human Dao Three Saints, revealing a plan to join Yang Mei in plotting against Fang after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
• Tongtian agreed to Hongjun’s request, then entered secluded cultivation without investigating Duobao’s departure.
• Shennong traveled with Daoist Randeng, tested herbs, treated people, taught medicine, and promoted farming before becoming a city lord and Dragon Official under Fuxi.
• As an official, Shennong inspected local hardships, proposed region-specific reforms to Fuxi, and established a centrally managed marketplace that gradually made trade more convenient.

Shennong’s achievements and benevolent rule won him the position of Human Race Co-Lord, and he continued improving medicine, agriculture, and city administration. Daoist Randeng grew increasingly anxious that Shennong had still not attained the Dao, and summoned him away just as a disciple began reporting a spreading plague.

• Shennong’s work in medicine, farming, trade, and civic policy earned the people’s support, and Fuxi yielded the position of Human Race Co-Lord to him.
• As Co-Lord, Shennong appointed worthy officials, promoted physicians and medical learning, expanded agriculture and marketplaces, and spread pottery and safe water practices.
• Shennong established Medical Hubs across the land and gathered physicians in Fuxi City to examine their work and revise the Medical Canon.

• A sacrifice intended to help Shennong attain the Dao produced no heavenly sign, and rumors spread questioning his virtue and status as Human Emperor.
• When a disciple began reporting a spreading plague, Daoist Randeng summoned Shennong away to the Past Branch.

Chun Jing traveled to Fuxi City to report a rapidly spreading, fatal epidemic that resisted every treatment, but Shennong left before hearing him and other physicians accused him of incompetence. After meeting with Shennong, Daoist Randeng summoned his master, the Great Love Heavenly Venerate, seeking help.

• Chun Jing arrived in Fuxi City hoping to tell Shennong about an epidemic that killed victims within a month, including cultivators, despite his attempts to treat it.
• After Shennong left, Chun Jing explained the epidemic to other physicians, who mocked him, accused him of fabricating the illness, and forced him to the ground.
• Daoist Randeng urged Shennong to pursue the Dao and become Human Emperor, but Shennong insisted that serving the people was his path and left to attend to official duties.
• Daoist Randeng lit incense, prayed to the Great Love Heavenly Venerate, and felt his consciousness being drawn into a mysterious Space-Time.

Daoist Randeng learned from Qingyuan that a plague threatening the Human Race was Shennong’s chance to attain enlightenment, then helped Shennong investigate it. Qingyuan traced the plague to Nine Refinements Poison Venerate and sent Randeng to kill him, while Demon Race Remnants and Witch Clan Remnants joined forces against the Human Race.

• Daoist Randeng visited Qingyuan for guidance after Shennong failed to attain enlightenment, and Qingyuan discovered a devastating plague spreading along the East Sea Coast.
• Daoist Randeng found Chun Jing being beaten for warning about the plague, learned the warning was true, and brought the news to Shennong.
• Shennong questioned Chun Jing, then led his disciples to investigate the plague and seek a cure.

• Daoist Randeng set out for Myriad Poison Mountain as Demon Race Remnants and Witch Clan Remnants met to conspire against the Human Race.

Ying Zhao tried to persuade Xing Tian and the Witch Clan to ally with the Demon Race against the rising Human Race, but Xing Tian refused and insisted the Witches would act alone. Ying Zhao revealed a plan to weaken the Human Race through disease, deception, and the theft of its Destiny, hoping to make Fuxi’s response work in the Demon Race’s favor.

• Ying Zhao reminded Xing Tian that the Human Race had risen from a weak dependent people to the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth, provoking the Witches’ anger and resentment.
• Ying Zhao urged Xing Tian to join forces with the Demon Race to eradicate the Human Race, but Xing Tian refused and said the Witch Clan would destroy it themselves.
• Ying Zhao mocked the Witches’ ability to defeat the Human Race, whose protectors included three Hunyuan Saints, Fuxi, Shennong, and Ziri.
• Xing Tian demanded to know what the Demon Race relied on, and Ying Zhao explained that it would corrupt Human Race Destiny, seize temples and incense, and spread plague along the East Sea Coast.
• Ying Zhao said the Demon Race would arrange for spirits to ease the plague temporarily so humans would worship them as benefactors, forcing Fuxi to choose between tolerating the scheme and appearing to slaughter their saviors.
