• The cultivators surrounded Chen Changan’s group and attacked immediately, refusing his request to talk.

Haotian revealed that the Sacred War shattered Myriad Ancient Divine Realm and that ancient experts had once surpassed the Ancient God Realm.

• Chen Changan killed Liuyun Divine Emperor's subordinates and told the Chen Family they had to leave Qian Yuan Realm.
• Chen Changan took the Chen Family through Dark Space to the Carefree Boat, where they could hide and cultivate.
• Over nearly ten years, Mu Yunyao and Meng Xiaoxiao reached Half-step Divine Emperor, while Da Huang reached Divine Venerable Peak.

Suspecting the sects had publicized the matter deliberately, he set out for the Tongtian Realm, where their leaders argued over how to proceed.

Chen Changan returned to the Tongtian Realm and learned that the Tai Xuan Divine Sect and Hundred Spirits Divine Sect had become the Xuan Ling Divine Sect, arriving as guests questioned the merger’s leadership and its effect on the Chi Hun Divine Sect.

• Zhou Mingyuan explained that the Crimson Flame Divine Emperor had divided Luo Shui’s soul and argued that publicizing the matter would bring Chen Changan back to save her.
• Chu Xiangyun doubted Chen Changan would return in time, but agreed there was no other choice and said the two sects’ merger needed more preparation.
• Zhou Mingyuan proposed ideas for merging the Tai Xuan Divine Sect and Hundred Spirits Divine Sect, and Chu Xiangyun agreed to hear them.
• Chen Changan returned to the Tongtian Realm, heard that the two sects had merged into the Xuan Ling Divine Sect, and headed to the Tai Xuan Divine Sect with Da Huang.
• At the merger gathering, Zhou Mingyuan said he and Chu Xiangyun would lead the new sect together, while a guest asked whether the merger would displease the Chi Hun Divine Sect.

The Chi Hun Divine Sect revealed that it served the Crimson Flame Divine Emperor and demanded that the Xuan Ling Divine Sect help lure out Chen Changan. Zhou Mingyuan and Chu Xiangyun chose to fight rather than surrender, but Chen Changan suddenly appeared and chose the first option.
