• He Yunqi discovered that his ninety-ninth Fayan had unlocked Turn Illusion into Reality, letting him make a future item or personal ability real.

Azure Cloud Demon Lord tracked down He Yunqi but was stunned when He Yunqi used a Mountains and Rivers Pearl Phantom to summon a fortune true dragon and repel him. Xu Xing then left the fight to visit Bie Xuening and Yuanjun, where Yueling mentioned a newcomer called the Lunar Star Lord before Xu Xing sensed a ripple from the Ascension Platform.

• Azure Cloud Demon Lord searched Fuming County for He Yunqi, found Thunder Department deities there, and left to search nearby.
• He Yunqi used a Fayan opportunity to manifest a single-use Mountains and Rivers Pearl Phantom, then began another Fayan attempt.
• Azure Cloud Demon Lord found He Yunqi in the snowy forest and attacked, but He Yunqi summoned a fortune true dragon that blocked his strike.

• Yueling told Xu Xing that Yuanjun was nearly recovered and that the Lunar Star Lord had arrived the day before; Xu Xing then sensed a ripple from the Ascension Platform in his hand.

Xu Xing and Yuanjun examined an Ascension Platform carrying Ning Ruo’s attempt to contact them, and Yuanjun began helping the connection through the Great Profound Realm’s repulsive force. After the Lunar Star Lord warned Yueling that Bountiful Harvest Imperial Lord might target the Sword Ancestor over the Taiping Pill Fruit, Yueling set off to confront him with Xu Xing’s permission.

• Xu Xing received a broken message from Ning Ruo through an Ascension Platform, but his replies did not reach her.

• Bountiful Harvest Imperial Lord realized that someone had been using primordial qi to create Taiping Pill fruits and deplete its origin.

• Ning Ruo decided to tell her fellow Daoists that she had contacted Xu Xing and the others.

The Lunar Star Lord met Xu Xing and Yuanjun, explaining why she had helped them before admitting that she believed her destined future could not be changed.

• Ning Ruo told the True Immortals that Xu Xing intended to sever his past and described the world where the Divine Path and Immortal Path were replacing one another.

• Xu Xing and Yuanjun asked whether the future she foresaw was certain and whether she could change it, and the Lunar Star Lord said she believed it was real but could not change it.

Yuanjun gave the Lunar Star Lord two True Methods, offering her a path to abandon her divine office or pursue the Solar authority and a higher rank. Meanwhile, Yueling forced Emperor Grainfoot to admit fault and warned him to obey the Sword Sect’s rules, which she never explained.

• Yuanjun passed the Lunar Star Lord the Lunar Spirit Cleansing and Divine Shedding True Method and the Wonderful Dao Unity Enlightenment True Scripture, and the Star Lord left to consider her choices.

• Yueling warned Emperor Grainfoot not to break the Sword Sect’s rules again, then departed before he could ask what those rules were.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin chased the Azure Cloud Demon Lord and summoned divine aid just as the demon transformed into a true dragon and struck back.

• Xu Xing said the vanished Cang Race might be hiding in the Past Domain or concealed by Xuan, and Yuanjun contacted her brother, Hong Sovereign.
• Xu Xing, Yuanjun, and Bie Xuening traveled to Moonlit Perilous Peak, where Hong Sovereign reviewed their report and asked what Xuan intended to do with the Heavenly Will.
• Hong Sovereign and the others speculated that Xuan might use the Heavenly Will to help the Cang Race produce more Dao-ascended members, but they had no firm answer.
• The Azure Cloud Demon Lord fled Jiang Lin after failing to kill the Thousand Derivations Dao Lord, and Jiang Lin's Demon Purge Shouts wounded him and broke his protective barrier.
• The Azure Cloud Demon Lord warned Jiang Lin that a True Lord would soon descend and bring chaos, then transformed his azure flood dragon into a true dragon and attacked.
• Jiang Lin invoked the gods, and golden divine chains struck the five-qi giant hand the Azure Cloud Demon Lord had sent to crush him.

Azure Cloud Demon Lord unleashed the Five Spirits Mountains and Rivers Dharma Body against old Daoist Jiang Lin and the three deities, but a mysterious finger intervened and erased the battle. Jiang Lin survived, only to find a young girl watching him, while the observers on the mountain continued their work with the Ascension Platform.

• Azure Cloud Demon Lord broke the deities’ assault by draining the Mountains and Rivers Pearl and transforming into a giant wolf of Five Qi.
• Hong Sovereign explained that the Dharma Body was an immature precursor to a Dharma Manifestation as the group observed the fight and discussed the Divine Path system.

• The descending finger struck Azure Cloud Demon Lord’s five-colored light and made the wolf and the surrounding sea of clouds vanish.
• Jiang Lin survived the attack and saw a young girl in a flowing skirt watching him.

Jade Void Heavenly Lord praised Jiang Lin and warned him that a great age was approaching, while the wounded Azure Cloud Demon Lord escaped and mourned the loss of his plans. At the waterfall, Xu Xing told Yuanjun that he had once imagined himself as the Human Race’s destined savior, leaving Bie Xuening listening nearby.

• Jade Void Heavenly Lord praised Jiang Lin’s cultivation, advised him not to rush toward a divine position, and confirmed that True Lords would soon descend into the lower realm.

• Xu Xing admitted that he had once believed he was destined to save the Human Race and gain power and admiration, while Bie Xuening listened from the doorway.

• Xu Xing admitted that Yuanjun’s early victory with his own sword technique had once made him resentful, and Yuanjun asked whether he had disliked her.

• Xu Xing planned to study the Divine Path system for the Ascension Guidance Immortal Net, and Bie Xuening joined him for a walk while Yuanjun stayed to oversee the communication channel.
• Jiang Lin successfully refined his first Taiping Pills after two failed attempts.

Jiang Lin successfully refined Taiping Pills, planted one to grow a pill-fruit tree, and sent Jiang Cheng to aid refugees while warning his disciples to avoid reckless confrontation. Meanwhile, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening recorded the Heavenly Palace’s divine offices and left to collect information on the Lunar and Solar Deities.

• Jiang Lin completed a batch of Taiping Pills and learned that his disciples had barely begun studying the Orthodox Purity Origin Spirit Refining Method.

• Xu Xing recorded the Heavenly Palace’s divine offices into a gray sphere, then left with Bie Xuening to collect information on the Lunar and Solar Deities.

Xu Xing helped the Lunar Star Lord shed her divine nature while retaining the Lunar authority, and she fled to the mortal realm to evade the Golden Crow.

Jiang Cheng revealed the Taiping Pill Fruit’s origins and led refugees away from a forced labor convoy as rival groups claimed the Taiping Dao name. Meanwhile, new Immortal Path catalysts awakened to the coming descent of the True Lords, and Xu Xing’s group headed into the Divine Court of Mysterious Womb Azure Bright Heaven.

• Jiang Cheng killed the chief escort, demonstrated how Taiping Pills could grow into pill-fruit plants, and preached the Taiping Dao to the convoy’s laborers.
• Jiang Cheng took the refugees and the unconscious young guard away, while other groups—including Jiang Lin’s disciples and aristocratic clans—acted elsewhere, with several claiming to be the true masters of Taiping Dao.
• Hong Sovereign warned He Yunqi not to investigate the cultivator behind the Taiping Pill Fruit, and He Yunqi followed him down the mountain while asking about the Azure Cloud Demon Lord.
• A reborn woman resolved to seize her opportunity, a fleeing man resented the discovery of his Dharma Body method, and a man with an ancient ring heard that the Divine Path’s first great upheaval was near.
• A black-robed preacher completed the Preach to a Thousand People achievement and received a Foundation Establishment reward as the Hunt Deities event was announced.
• Xu Xing and Yuanjun discussed the awakened Immortal Path catalysts, then followed Yueling toward the Divine Court of Mysterious Womb Azure Bright Heaven.

He Yunqi warned Hong Sovereign that the Divine Path’s True Lords would soon descend, only for Hong Sovereign to reveal that the moment had arrived and relinquish his divine position.

• Yueling dragged the hook-nosed cultivator into view and cowed him and Zixuan, while Bountiful Harvest Imperial Lord ingratiated himself with her.

• Hong Sovereign declared himself the Star Lord of Mysterious Spirit, Deliverance from Calamity, and Prolonged Life, and relinquished his divine position and authority to the Great Dao.

As True Lords relinquished their divine offices and returned their authority, the Divine Path weakened and spiritual energy spread through the world, beginning an era of conflict between immortals and gods. Jiang Lin prepared for the upheaval, while reborn Immortal Dao initiators hunted weakened gods; Xu Xing and his companions expected the Divine Path to strike back.

Hong Sovereign restrained the Golden Crow and sent the Heavenly River into the mortal world, while Ning Ruo contacted Bie Xuening and Yuanjun to discuss testing their communication channel as Brother Xu remained in seclusion.

• Jiang Lin showed Jade Void Heavenly Lord his pill-refining art and invited her to join the Taiping Dao.
• Jiang Lin declared that he wanted no one to freeze to death, no immortal or divine conflicts to involve mortals, and peace under heaven; he asked Jade Void Heavenly Lord to kill him if he betrayed that purpose.
