Qingyuan killed the Heavenly Dao Saints in Chaos, escaped Hongjun’s trap, and secretly returned to his allies after faking his death. When the Saints turned against Pingxin and threatened the Netherworld, she drew on Qingyuan’s Iron Token and fought back against Zhunti and Jieyin.

• Qingyuan used the God Slaying Spear to kill Zhunti, Jieyin, Nuwa, Yuqing, Tongtian, and Taiqing before discovering that the Yang Mei he had killed was only an incarnation.

Pingxin resisted the Heavenly Dao Saints until Hongjun halted the battle, then he and the Saints began plotting against Qingyuan and other Hunyuan powers. As Haotian strengthened the Heavenly Court and Pingxin prepared for Hongjun’s banquet, Hongjun’s decree reached the Human Dao Three Saints, who faced a decision about accepting it.

• Fuxi accepted Taiqing’s order, but Xuanyuan questioned the forced retreat and warned that the Human Race would suffer without its leaders.
