Chapter Summary: Fuxi Returns to the Heavenly Court, Drawing Upon the Power of the Heavenly Stars

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Demon Race’s leaders recall their disastrous previous battle with the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Although Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Kunpeng, the Heavenly Empresses, and the Demon Sages had nearly defeated the Witches, the latter burned their origin blood essence and activated the Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Formation.
• The formation summoned a terrifying phantom of Pangu. Even as an illusion, Pangu’s power overwhelmed the Demon Race: Di Jun’s Sun Divine Sword was weakened, Taiyi’s Chaos Bell was damaged, and several Demon Sages suffered severe injuries.
• The Demon Sages debate how to counter the formation:
  • Shang Yang suggests luring the Witches into activating it prematurely and waiting for their blood essence to run out.
  • Feilian proposes killing one Ancestral Witch before the formation can be completed.
  • Bai Ze explains that this is practically impossible because the Witches share a common bond and can instantly reinforce one another. Killing one would require trapping nearly all the others and committing overwhelming forces, potentially at the cost of many Demon Sages.
• The court falls into despair, while Taiyi privately realizes that even his supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, is insufficient against Pangu’s phantom.
• Fuxi suddenly returns to the Heavenly Court. His magic power is exhausted, and he remains seriously injured by the backlash from attempting to deduce Pangu’s nature through the River Diagram and Luo Script.
• After hearing the court’s dilemma, Fuxi asks where Pangu’s phantom derives its strength. He identifies two sources: the Ancestral Witches’ essence blood and Pangu’s lingering legacy.
• Fuxi then points out that Pangu’s legacy is not limited to the Witches. The Sun Star, Moon Star, and countless heavenly stars were formed from Pangu’s body and therefore contain comparable remnants of his power.
• The chapter ends with Bai Ze recognizing Fuxi’s proposed strategy: draw upon the power of the stars to resist the Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Formation.

• Di Jun shows concern and guilt over Fuxi’s injuries, since he had ordered Fuxi to perform the dangerous deduction during the previous battle. His composure as Heavenly Emperor is strained by the worsening crisis.
• Taiyi is revealed to be deeply shaken by his inability to withstand Pangu’s phantom. His usual confidence and fighting spirit are suppressed by a rare sense of helplessness.
• Bai Ze reinforces his role as the Demon Race’s pragmatic strategist. He systematically dismantles unrealistic plans and clarifies the overwhelming tactical difficulties involved in killing an Ancestral Witch.
• The Demon Sages shift from anger and confidence to fear and despair as they realize that conventional tactics cannot overcome the Witches’ formation.

Significant Themes

• Desperation and leadership: The Heavenly Court’s leaders struggle to maintain order as their forces face a threat they cannot defeat through ordinary means.
• The legacy of Pangu: Pangu’s influence permeates the entire Primordial World, not merely the Witch Race. This broadens the conflict from a struggle over bloodline inheritance to one involving the world’s cosmic structure.
• Intellect as a weapon: Fuxi’s deduction offers hope where force has failed, emphasizing foresight, observation, and cosmic understanding.
• Unity and vulnerability: The Ancestral Witches’ shared connection makes them extraordinarily difficult to isolate, but their reliance on a collective formation may also provide the key to defeating them.

• Ao Guang also reports sensing a concealed innate metal aura near Mount Shouyang, suggesting that an unformed spiritual treasure lies there. Yellow Dragon takes note but does not pursue it.
• Yellow Dragon reorganizes the Dragon Race’s disaster-relief efforts. Rather than concentrating all their forces in one place:
  • Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals will repair spiritual veins and purify the lingering Killing Intent in regions damaged by the great battle.
  • Weaker Dragon Race members will disperse and summon steady rain over smaller areas as natural water vapor returns.
• When some dragons fear that dispersing will expose them to Heavenly Dao backlash because of the Dragon Race’s karmic burden, Yellow Dragon reassures them that their merit from saving living beings will temporarily suppress that burden.

• Yellow Dragon activates the ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus, an extremely valuable Innate Spirit Root and Spirit Treasure. Its purification light spreads across a million li, erasing the surface-level blood-Killing Intent and foul energy.
• Ao Qing and Ao Zhan recognize the lotus as the former twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus once possessed by the Eastern Duke. They are shocked that Yellow Dragon owns it, even though it has fallen to the ninth grade.
• While the lotus purifies the land, Yellow Dragon investigates beneath the earth and discovers that the spirit veins and earth-vein network have been almost completely destroyed. Many nodes have become “spiritual ash,” unable to regulate energy.
• Yellow Dragon orders the other dragons to recover their mana while he personally repairs the underground earth veins. After several days, he completes the purification, leaving the land cleansed but still lifeless.
• He then opens a passage to the Mysterious Yellow World and draws out a lower-grade Innate spirit vein, placing it into a repaired earth-vein node. He follows this with more than a hundred smaller spirit veins distributed throughout the region.
• Over several months, the land begins recovering Spiritual Energy and is no longer completely uninhabitable.
