The tribe grew into the Fuxi Tribe, whose influence spread across the Northern Lands, and Great Master Xuandu and Guangchengzi finally hurried toward the northern East Sea Coast.

After being defeated by Kong Xuan, Guangchengzi devised a plan to support a rival Human Race Co-Lord instead of accepting Fuxi as Emperor. A thousand years later, Fuxi had united and prospered the north, while a brutal southern Co-Lord prepared to march against him.

• Chijingzi, True Person Taiyi, and Daoist Cihang complained about their humiliation, and Guangchengzi proposed backing their own Co-Lord to defeat Fuxi and claim the Human Emperor’s position.

Futian’s Fútiān Army massacred and plundered cities across the Central Region, prompting Fuxi to arrive and grieve for the victims. After Futian had Fuxi’s envoy boiled alive, he asked Guangchengzi and True Person Taiyi whether he should kill Fuxi, and Guangchengzi’s eyes gleamed at the prospect.

Winged Immortal and six other Interception Sect immortals died in ambushes by the Chan Sect and Western Lands Teachings, leaving Fuxi captive as Futian conquered and brutalized the Human Race. After witnessing Futian destroy the civilization he had helped build, Fuxi finally recognized the cost of his mercy, but it was too late to undo the damage.
