Mr. President and the lawful demigods opened the Sun Instance so Star Lord could kill Ling Tuo, but Ling Tuo revealed that the Demon Seed could breach its restrictions. The Demon Seed tore open a path into the instance, setting up a contest for the Sun Lord’s throne or an early war between Order and Freedom.

• Mr. President received a rule-type bronze disc made from Light Compass Fragments, and the Taiyi Sect Master announced that Star Lord and the Lunar Moon Lord would enter the Sun Instance to kill Ling Tuo.

• Ling Tuo explained that the Demon Seed could overcome the instance restrictions and said the final battle between Order and Freedom would begin early if he failed to obtain the Merit List.

The evil faction forced open the Sun Instance, prompting demigods from both factions to rush inside and compete for the Sun Lord. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanqing completed his settlement, advanced to Level 8, gained the Yang God skill, and left the instance as golden ripples appeared.

• The Demon Seed disintegrated, and Asura questioned the Fear Heavenly King about sending Magic Eye into the Battle of Zhuolu instance before the two entered the Sun Instance.

After clearing Paphos Island, Zhang Yuanqing returned to Ring City and learned that the Sun Instance had opened and demigods from both factions had entered. With his chance to claim the Sun Lord’s throne threatened, he began weighing ways to refine Three Talents Pills and found a possible way to locate Dark Night Rose Protectors despite the Lunar Moon’s concealment.

• Zhang Yuanqing returned to Ring City, washed up, and told the Return of the Dead group that he had reached level eight while learning that Little Fu and Xiahou Aotian were still in faction dungeons.
• Zhang Yuanqing recounted Paphos Island’s dangers to Annie and gave her the Beauty Goddess’s Sheer Dress, which she mistook as a sign that he might accept her as a lover.
• Diana told Zhang Yuanqing that the Sun Instance had opened and that demigods from both lawful and evil factions had entered after the Star Lord’s meeting.
• Diana relayed Zhang Yuanqing’s uncle’s message that the demigod battles would take time and that Zhang Yuanqing still had a chance to act.
• Zhang Yuanqing considered hunting Taiyi Sect Day Wanderers or Dark Night Rose Protectors to refine Three Talents Pills, then realized he might have a way to overcome the Lunar Moon’s concealment.

Zhang Yuanqing acquired the Turtle Shell Diagram and recruited Zhai Cai and Vinnie to help locate Dark Night Rose’s Grand Protector. After Zhai Cai established a worldwide rule against hidden authority and its protection, Zhang prepared to use the Eye of the Sky to search for the target.

• Diana gave Zhang Yuanqing the Turtle Shell Diagram, which he bound and learned could show precise predictions for the next fifteen minutes, with a severe misfortune following every three uses.
• Zhang visited the Heaven's Punishment branch, where Zhai Cai negotiated with Vinnie to join as New Covenant County's chief executive officer.

• In YL City, Zhai Cai established a rule forbidding living beings from using hidden authority or receiving its protection, suffered severe backlash, and Zhang brought out the Eye of the Sky and called on Yin Yao to proceed.

Zhang Yuanqing used the Eye of the Sky to locate Everlasting Rivers and Mountains in Chahar-Ulaan City, then defeated the Grand Protector and questioned him in a dream. The dream exposed Dark Night Rose’s members and shifted to Everlasting Rivers and Mountains’ past, ending as he hurried toward his burning village stronghold.

• Princess Yinyao searched for Everlasting Rivers and Mountains in YL City but found no trace of him, so Zhang Yuanqing took the group to Chahar-Ulaan City.

• Zhang Yuanqing trapped Everlasting Rivers and Mountains inside a barrier, nullified his Yin Emperor Sword, and knocked him unconscious before drawing him into a dream.
• Zhang Yuanqing watched the Grand Protector warn the other Dark Night Rose Protectors, then discovered files identifying the organization’s members and territories.
• The dream shifted to Everlasting Rivers and Mountains’ younger days, when he approached a Same Boat Society stronghold and found the village engulfed in flames.

Zhang Yuanqing explored Everlasting Rivers and Mountains' memories of the North China Branch massacre, then continued preparing to capture Dark Night Rose's remaining Day Wanderers. In the War of the Gods and the Battle of Zhuolu, the orderly demigods fought for Resting Earth while Demon Eye Heavenly King struggled toward the dying Demon God Chiyou and was struck down by lightning.

• Zhang Yuanqing guided Everlasting Rivers and Mountains through the burning North China Branch stronghold, where a shadowy figure warned him to leave before it lost control.

• Demon Eye Heavenly King, gravely wounded and driven by his search for a hidden plot, reached the battlefield where Demon God Chiyou was being defeated by three demigods.
• Demon Eye Heavenly King charged toward Chiyou's remains, but a lightning bolt struck him and his body collapsed.

Demon Eye Heavenly King survived the Battle of Zhuolu with a new blessing, then returned to reality badly injured and told Zhang Yuanqing what he had seen. Zhang Yuanqing learned he could not enter the Sun Instance, leaving his and Demon Eye’s plans to compete for the Sun Lord in doubt, while Xiahou Aotian returned from his instance.

• Demon Eye Heavenly King completed the Battle of Zhuolu, received the Blood-Drinking Blade and Demon God's Will, and returned to the Lord of Weapons Cult headquarters near death.
• Zhang Yuanqing told Guan Ya that Vice President Pan Xi could not enter the Sun Instance, then went to the courtyard to rescue the charred Demon Eye Heavenly King.

• Zhang Yuanqing explained that he could not enter the Sun Instance, and Demon Eye Heavenly King lost heart after realizing his leveling might have been pointless.
• Xiahou Aotian returned home alive from an S-class instance and vowed never to enter one again.

Xiahou Aotian returned from the S-class instance and helped Zhang Yuanqing refine three pills from Dark Night Rose Protectors, while the Sun Instance remained sealed to outsiders. Zhang Yuanqing learned that the Demon Seed had opened it for the demigods and asked Lady of Three Paths Mountain about a way in, but she had none; she planned to return to reality after the Sun Lord was born.

• Xiahou Aotian returned from the S-class instance, boasted about clearing it alone, and agreed to join Zhang Yuanqing in Mohist Mechanism City.
• Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian refined three blood pills from Everlasting Rivers and Mountains, the Surgeon, and the Shaman, enduring the prisoners' furious curses as they burned in the furnace.

• Zhang Yuanqing summoned Lady of Three Paths Mountain, who explained that the Sun Instance had barred outsiders after a purple light opened it for Human Immortals.
• Lady of Three Paths Mountain identified the purple light as resembling the Deadly Poison Master profession and said she would return to reality after the Sun Lord was born.

Zhang Yuanqing sought a way into the Sun Instance, learned that he would need to wait for the demigods’ struggle to create an opening, and prepared to advance by entering a dangerous instance. He expected to join the Goddess of Beauty Association’s guild instance, but instead received his first solo instance as a Day Wanderer: Shu Mountain.

• Zhang Yuanqing represented Fu Qingyang at a meeting with the Nine Elders, announced that he was level eight, and asked how he could enter the Sun Instance, but they said he lacked the strength and qualification.
• At the Xiahou Family, Zhang Yuanqing traded the Heaven-Devouring Beast to the Xiahou Family head for a double-barreled shotgun capable of injuring an early level-nine High Sovereign, then bought extra bullets.
• The Xiahou Family head explained that Zhang Yuanqing might gain a chance to become a demigod if Lunar Moon and the Stars died or fought over authority, and Zhang Yuanqing realized this connected to Uncle’s plan.
• Zhang Yuanqing returned to Wind City and asked Diana to arrange an S-rank guild instance so he could pair it with his Three Talents Pill and pursue level nine.
• Diana recommended an A-rank instance or the S-rank “Birth of the Smoker,” but Zhang Yuanqing’s notification instead assigned him to the solo death-type instance “Shu Mountain.”

Zhang Yuanqing entered the S-rank Shu Mountain dungeon and discovered its thick yin energy concealed enemies that could attack him unseen. Meanwhile, the War of the Gods dungeon introduced a life-and-death arena to break the stalemate, and Chen Yuanjun prepared to investigate Lei Yibing’s disappearance in Hangzhou.

• Zhang Yuanqing told Diana that his solo Spirit Realm dungeon had opened, then entered the Shu Mountain instance dungeon.
• The orderly camp retained a two-point lead over the evil camp after both sides fought over formation cores for three days.
• The Spirit Realm activated a life-and-death arena, requiring each camp to choose a fighter and allowing points to exempt a side from a battle.
• Chen Yuanjun asked his director for permission to travel to Hangzhou and search for records related to Lei Yibing’s disappearance.
• An unseen Saint Realm enemy attacked Zhang Yuanqing inside Shu Mountain’s yin shroud, so he used Solar Power and Blazing Sun War God to dispel the smoke and reveal the ruined sect.

Zhang Yuanqing used his Day Wanderer powers to clear Shu Mountain’s main peak and reached the Hall of Everlasting Sword Qi, where he expected to face a powerful boss. Meanwhile, the lawful demigods planned for an arena tournament after the Taiyi Sect Master warned that supreme beings were manipulating the Spirit Realm against them.

• Zhang Yuanqing used Sunrise and the Blazing Sun War God to destroy the vengeful spirits and yin corpses on Shu Mountain, then rested to recover his spiritual power.
• The Taiyi Sect Master explained that the arena rules favored the evil faction and revealed that beings above the Spirit Realm were interfering with its mechanics.
• The lawful demigods discussed how to win the tournament, protect their key leaders, and use their two exemptions before the Spirit Realm requested both sides’ combatants.
• Zhang Yuanqing resumed clearing Shu Mountain, fought and destroyed several Sovereign Realm corpses, and reached the peak’s main hall.
• Zhang Yuanqing read the plaque naming the Hall of Everlasting Sword Qi and shattered its doors.

Zhang Yuanqing discovered that the Shu Mountain elders had become corpse puppets serving the Drought Demon, and learned that the White Emperor Crown had been offered to it. Elsewhere, updated arena rules complicated the lawful faction’s contest against the evil faction, whose next fighter was the level 11 Dionysus Old Mc.

• Zhang Yuanqing entered Shu Mountain’s Main Hall and recognized the damaged bronze coffin as a seal containing the Drought Demon, while three undead elders worshipped it.
• The coffin’s yin energy restored the elders and shielded them from Zhang Yuanqing’s Solar Power, and the sect master attacked him with two other corpse puppets.
• Zhang Yuanqing drew the sect master into conversation and learned that the White Emperor Crown was inside the dungeon and had been offered to the Progenitor of Corpses.
• The Spirit Realm updated the arena rules, limiting contestants to one match and stopping the formation countdown during matches, prompting the lawful faction to reassess its chances.
• Old Mc, a level 11 Dionysus, entered the arena, and the Beauty Goddess warned that his abilities would be difficult for the lawful faction to counter.

The lawful demigods chose the Taiyi Sect Master to face Old Mc, while Zhang Yuanqing prepared to confront the Boss in Shu Mountain’s main hall. After defeating the Shu Mountain sect leader and two elders, Zhang Yuanqing stood before the silent hall and began preparing for the level-nine enemy inside.

• The Beauty Goddess explained that Old Mc’s Twisted Realm made him difficult to defeat, and Fu Qingxuan recommended sending the Taiyi Sect Master, who agreed.
• Zhang Yuanqing used summoned yin corpses, Spirit Servants, and his items to fight the three Shu Mountain powerhouses.
• The Shu Mountain sect leader overwhelmed Zhang Yuanqing in close combat, but a shotgun distraction gave Zhang Yuanqing time to pierce his head with the Thunder Spear.
• Zhang Yuanqing used Solar Power arrows to destroy the sect leader’s fleeing primordial spirit, then laid the other two elders to rest with help from Princess Yinyao and his Spirit Servants.
• Zhang Yuanqing took out the Turtle Shell Diagram and prepared to face the Boss in the main hall.

The Taiyi Sect Master fought Old Mc in the arena and revealed that he could split his powers into three coordinated avatars. Old Mc empowered his Twisted Realm until it began merging with the real world, leaving the Taiyi Sect Master to answer whether his attacks could break it.

• The Taiyi Sect Master evaporated Old Mc’s wine mist and repeatedly struck him by deducing how Old Mc’s distortion altered his attacks.
• The Taiyi Sect Master separated into starlight, Lunar Moon, and Blazing Sun War God avatars, which coordinated their attacks against Old Mc.
• Old Mc used a staff to intensify his distortion, but the three avatars continued to counter him and drain his spiritual power.
• Old Mc expanded his domain into the Twisted Realm, reversing the arena and scrambling its rules until the starlight avatar stopped attacking.
• Old Mc received divine power that strengthened the Twisted Realm, and the Void Demigod warned that it would merge with the real world within sixty seconds.
• Old Mc told the Taiyi Sect Master that only White Tiger Marshal could previously break the Twisted Realm and asked if his attack was strong enough to destroy its stronger form.

Star Lord used the fused power of the stars and Lunar Moon to defeat Old Mc and seize his primordial spirit. At Shu Mountain, Zhang Yuanqing awakened Ba, learned about her past, and attacked when she said they could not avoid a battle.

• Star Lord explained to Ling Tuo how the sun, moon, and stars related to one another, then merged his stellar and Lunar Moon avatars to summon a galaxy.
• Star Lord's galaxy shattered the Twisted Realm, absorbed Old Mc's chaotic power, and pulled his primordial spirit from his body.
• Zhang Yuanqing sent a Yin corpse to open the bronze coffin at Shu Mountain, then used Sunrise to clear the yin-energy cloud that erupted from it.
• A woman named Ba emerged from the coffin and told Zhang Yuanqing she had been a Bear Clan warrior slain at Zhuolu and awakened in the Tang dynasty.
• Ba told Zhang Yuanqing she could not leave Shu Mountain, so he formed a Solar Power arrow and shot her in the chest.

The Orderly faction’s victory over Wine God was undermined when the Spirit Realm changed the arena rules, leaving them with a worse chance of winning. At Shu Mountain, the Female Drought Demon struck down Zhang Yuanqing, and his head rolled to the ground.

• The Taiyi Sect Master returned to the Orderly faction after killing Wine God, and the demigods assessed the remaining threats and debated who should fight next.
• The Spirit Realm removed the one-match-per-person and point-based exemption rules, then allowed either faction to end the arena after three wins, reducing the Orderly faction’s estimated win chance to below fifty percent.
• Gang Leader Jiang entered the arena to face Asura, but the Orderly demigods surrendered and used an exemption, costing one day of a formation’s duration.
• At Shu Mountain, the Female Drought Demon appeared before Zhang Yuanqing and pierced his Purple-Gold Shield and golden dragon protection.
• Zhang Yuanqing used the Star Escape Art to retreat, but the crown on the Female Drought Demon flashed, and his head separated from his neck.

Zhang Yuanqing fought the Female Drought Demon on Shu Mountain, using the Thunder God Set, Ninth Elder’s shotgun, and his clone to wear her down. He killed her by turning the White Emperor Crown’s beheading strike and the Arrow of Love and Desire into part of his plan, then cleared the S-rank Shu Mountain mission and received the White Emperor Crown.

• The Female Drought Demon severed Zhang Yuanqing’s head, but Ninth Elder’s corpse puppet interrupted her, allowing him to reattach it and recover with Life Source Fluid.
• Zhang Yuanqing used the Thunder God Set and Lightning Storm to attack the Female Drought Demon while Ninth Elder fired the double-barreled shotgun, but she dodged the shots and counterattacked.
• Zhang Yuanqing and the Female Drought Demon fought at close range as he struck her with the Thunder Spear and his clone used the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to daze her, while Ninth Elder landed more shotgun blasts.
• After divining that the Female Drought Demon was stalling until his supplies ran out, Zhang Yuanqing had his clone use the Arrow of Love and Desire on him, letting the White Emperor Crown sever his head and the arrow make the demon hesitate.
• Zhang Yuanqing attacked the Female Drought Demon with a golden arrow while his clone fired the shotgun’s seventh and eighth bullets, igniting her from within and killing her.
• Zhang Yuanqing completed the solo S-rank Shu Mountain mission and received the White Emperor Crown as a reward.

Chairman Void fought Ganse Rain, the Lord of Myriad Demons, in the Gods Instance arena while Zhang Yuanqing used his rewards from the Shu Mountain instance to advance to Level Nine. Zhang Yuanqing gained Solar Will and its rule-based skill Sunlight, then left the instance.

• Fu Qingxuan assessed the lawful faction’s options, but Chairman Void declared that only he could safely face Ganse Rain.
• Ganse Rain entered the arena, and Chairman Void dodged his attacks, dispersed his poisonous smoke, and wounded his Chromie Demon form with a saber.
• Ganse Rain transformed into the Wandering Singer and suppressed Chairman Void into a monstrous form.
• Zhang Yuanqing received Solar Power for completing the Shu Mountain instance and swallowed two Three Talents Pills.
• Zhang Yuanqing endured the pills’ clashing powers, advanced to Level Nine, and gained Solar Will and the rule-based skill Sunlight.
• The Shu Mountain instance countdown ended, and Zhang Yuanqing vanished from the dungeon.

The Void Chairman traded his possessions through the Myriad Treasure Tree for a Space Rift Slash, killing the Golden Lion, but Smoker descended with power beyond the demigod realm and threatened the arena. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanqing advanced to level nine, struggled to control his sun power, and entered the Mohist Mechanism City instance.

• The mutated Void Chairman reached the Myriad Treasure Tree and traded all his items except the Origin of Hurricane for a powerful attack from his class.
• The Void Chairman used Space Rift Slash to kill the Golden Lion, but the unseen force revived it and formed Smoker from its remains.
• Ling Tuo revealed that he had engineered the Spirit Realm disruption and demigod battle so higher existences could descend and aid his plan against Star Lord.
• Zhang Yuanqing appeared at Fu Family Bay Villa with uncontrolled level-nine power, frightening Guan Ya and setting the room on fire before extinguishing the flames.
• Zhang Yuanqing examined his golden appearance, entered the Mohist Mechanism City instance, and took out a golden crown at its entrance.
