He revealed that the Investiture of the Gods served six purposes, while the Three Pure Ones remained divided and the plan’s final two steps were still unknown.

• Nuwa slept in Zhang Yifan’s arms, then woke late the next morning and joined the others for breakfast.

• Zhang Yifan explained that the Witch-Demon Calamity targeted the Ancestral Witches, destroying the means for Pangu’s physical body to return, while Houtu remained confined to the underworld.
• Zhang Yifan said the Investiture of the Gods Calamity split the Three Pure Ones to prevent Pangu’s primordial spirit from returning and served five other purposes, including weakening the teachings, humanity, and the Jade Emperor’s authority.
• Sect Master Tongtian realized the Three Pure Ones could still summon Pangu’s primordial spirit, but Zhang Yifan warned that their division and flaws made them unlikely to act together.
• The group recognized that Zhang Yifan’s revelations offered a chance to reunite the Three Pure Ones, while Hongjun’s final two steps remained unknown.

After Zhang Yifan left, the Jade Emperor said he had a plan to counter Hongjun.

• Sect Master Tongtian asked Zhang Yifan about the final two steps of Hongjun’s Heaven Sealing Plan.
