• Rebellious Human Kings united against Xuanyuan, planning to force him to abdicate when he became Human Emperor.
• Immortal gods in Lingxiao Palace urged Di Jun to punish the Human Race, but Di Jun dismissed the matter and instead questioned the Tiger Emperor and Lion Emperor about their war.
• Di Jun revealed that a Black-Clad People had impersonated a Tiger Clan cultivator to provoke slaughter between the clans and identified Luo Hou as the culprit.
• Di Jun reached into the Extraterritorial Demon Territory, seized Luo Hou, warned him not to repeat his scheme, and threw him into the Human Race.
• Luo Hou concealed himself and disappeared before several Human Race experts arrived and noticed he was gone.

Ye Xuan entered a battle on the exchange platform and effortlessly defeated the scammer Liu Mang, then challenged the Fifth-Order Creator God Li Ke. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan explained why comfort had weakened the Human Race and revealed that the Heavenly Court would soon bring it into an era of suffering, as Di Jun acknowledged their coming confrontation.
