As their Fortune Aura was drained, Fuxi denounced Hongjun across the Primordial Wilderness and self-destructed, scattering part of the Human Dao Authority back into the world.

• Hongjun ordered his Good Corpse to gather all Human Dao Authority, and the Good Corpse entered Huoyun Cave with the Human Dao Seal.

Hongjun fused the Three Daos and seized most of the Primordial Wilderness Source, believing he had gained the Pangu Dao Fruit and defeated Qingyuan. Qingyuan appeared amid darkness that devoured the Dao and challenged Hongjun’s understanding of Pangu, leaving Hongjun shaken by the possibility that the Primordial Wilderness had controlled him all along.

• Qingyuan told Hongjun that the Primordial Wilderness Will had never chosen him and asked whether Hongjun understood Pangu’s purpose, fall, and Dao Fruit.
• Qingyuan revealed that Pangu’s will and Dao Fruit were scattered throughout the Primordial Wilderness, then questioned whether Hongjun controlled the Three Daos or had been controlled by them.

Hongjun threatened Qingyuan and his disciples, then erased all seven captives when Qingyuan refused to answer. Hongjun lost control as Qingyuan remained calm and vanished from the boundary between Void and Chaos.

Hongjun arrived in Chaos after the Six Heavenly Dao Saints failed to harm Qingyuan, then used the Creation Jade Disk to scorch Qingyuan’s robe and became ecstatic at proof that he could reach him. Hongjun began infusing the Primordial Wilderness with his will and merging with Pangu’s phantom, while Qingyuan remained focused on bringing the New Primordial Wilderness into Chaos.

• The Six Heavenly Dao Saints continued attacking Qingyuan without effect until Hongjun arrived and they bowed to him.
• Hongjun confronted Qingyuan, boasting that he had reached the Half-Step Great Dao Realm and mastered the Three Dao Authorities and the Law of the Great Dao of Strength.
