• After three days of chaos across the Spiritual Essence World, the immortal Purple God sensed that something was wrong.

The Spiritual Essence World’s Immortals concluded that outsiders and mythical creatures were conspiring to undermine them, so they erased three months of memories across the world and prepared to launch a world collision. Meanwhile, Li Qing completed the Temporal Resonance Teleportation Grand Formation and brought Spiritual Rhinoceros’s avatar to the Nine Provinces Four Regions, where he was nominated as the sixth Heavenly Emperor for the cross-world counterattack.

• Purple God and the other Immortals blamed the spreading Martial Canon and the upheaval in the Sea of Resentment on an infiltration plot, and Imperial Sovereign urged them to strike before disaster struck.
• Spirit King proposed erasing everyone’s memories of the past three months, and seven Immortals used the world’s power to cast the spell on mortals and cultivators up to Foundation Establishment.

Half a month later, Spiritual Rhinoceros and Li Qing prepared for a counteroffensive as Li Qing tracked the Immortals’ movements.
