Brief Takeaway: The chapter establishes Human Dao’s ascendance, the looming Tribulation, and the scramble for power among cosmic entities

Key plot points and events

• Heavenly Dao Shichen watches the Investiture Tribulation spread across countless universes and regards the resulting deaths as a source of power for the Heavenly Dao.
• Hongjun divines that the Calamity Qi has enveloped the Primordial World and the wider Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds. The Investiture of the Gods will require 365 people to die, have their True Spirits bound to the scroll, and serve permanently in divine posts.
• The gathered Sages object on behalf of their disciples and, in Houtu’s case, the Witch Clan. Hongjun explains that Shichen’s Imperial Edict makes the Tribulation impossible to cancel unless the Chaos Dao Court’s other Dao Venerables act together.
• To limit the Three Teachings’ losses, Hongjun proposes that Haotian establish a new Heavenly Court. Their disciples may serve there without being entered on the Investiture, or seek protection in Di Jun’s Ancient Heavenly Court. Haotian will fill the scroll’s vacancies with people from other worlds.
• Hongjun warns that the Tribulation will bring enormous bloodshed and that reckless killing may create Karma even Sages cannot shield their followers from.
• The Sages return to their sects and summon their disciples. Tongtian gathers the vast Interception Sect on Golden Ao Island, including Duobao, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and others. As the disciples speculate about the summons, Tongtian appears to address them.

• Wushi, Ye Fan, the black dog, and Shi Hao exchange light banter amid the gathering’s tense uncertainty. Duobao cautiously guesses that the summons concerns the Human Race and the Tribulation.

Significant themes

• Cosmic destruction as political and personal opportunity: Shichen sees mass death as nourishment, while the Sages fear the cost to their followers.
• Fate versus agency: The Imperial Edict makes the calamity unavoidable, leaving the Sages to seek limited protections rather than prevent it.
• Power, duty, and confinement: Those named in the Investiture gain divine roles but lose the chance to advance their cultivation.
• Karma and moral restraint: Hongjun’s warning underscores that survival depends not only on power but also on avoiding needless violence.

Key plot points and events

• Tongtian reveals that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has begun and will affect not just the Primordial World but the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds. Those who die may have their True Spirits bound to the Heavenly Court.
• He offers disciples safer options: avoid karmic entanglements by cultivating in seclusion, seek protection from Di Jun’s Ancient Heavenly Court, or earn a Heavenly Court position through merit without dying.
• Duobao and Ye Fan are alarmed by the Tribulation’s unprecedented scale and consider how to protect their fellow disciples. Duobao also doubts that Hongjun’s apparent mercy is genuine.

He proclaims the Chaos Dao Court’s edict: Haotian will establish a new Heavenly Court alongside Di Jun’s Ancient Heavenly Court, and the Tribulation will end once the required principal and auxiliary gods are appointed.

• Tongtian shifts from solemn warnings to reassurance, trying to steady his frightened disciples.
• Duobao and Ye Fan share their concern over the Tribulation’s reach and potential casualties.
• Shichen is pragmatic and focused on the Chaos World’s advancement; Yang Mei is more cautious but ultimately agrees to assist.
• The Star Demon God’s stern supervision of the Seven Luminaries Demon God provides comic relief: Seven Luminaries is chastened and relieved when his overseer suddenly leaves.

Significant themes

• Duty and risk: Duobao’s appointment offers great opportunity but also responsibility during a dangerous era.
• Power, freedom, and fate: Death in the Tribulation may mean eternal service in the Heavenly Court, while alternatives offer a chance to preserve autonomy.

• Fuxi and the Three Pure Ones: Initially at odds, they reach an agreement after Fuxi sets a condition.
• The Three Pure Ones and other Sages: They interact with each other, showing varying degrees of willingness to support the Human Race.

Summary

• Heavenly Dao Shichen intervenes as the Sages begin forming vows to bind their lineages’ fortunes to the Human Race. He destroys the vows and rules that the Human Dao must remain under the Heavenly Dao’s authority; letting the Sages bind their fortunes to it would upset the balance of the world’s three pillars and risk chaos.
• He forbids the Sages from influencing the Human Race’s foundations or choosing and removing its rulers. They may serve only as teachers. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors must earn their positions through merit, and the Human Race itself must choose them. The threat of heavenly punishment makes the Sages submit.
• Fuxi, seeking a secure future for his people, is frustrated but accepts the decree. Using the Kongtong Seal, he names Shennong Earth Emperor for his work in farming and medicine, and Xuanyuan Heaven Emperor for his achievements in invention, military organization, and governance. Both swear to serve the Human Race. The Five Emperors will be selected later.
• The Sages assign teachers: Laozi’s disciple Xuandu will guide Shennong, while Tongtian’s disciple Duobao will teach Xuanyuan. Other disciples remain to teach the future Five Emperors.

Character developments and interactions

Fuxi’s confidence as Human Emperor gives way to helplessness before Shichen’s authority. Afterward, he privately tells Nuwa that Shichen has merged with the Heavenly Dao. Fuxi wonders whether the being they saw was Shichen or the Dao itself: Shichen once showed emotion, while this version seemed entirely impassive. Nuwa is puzzled by his concern, and Fuxi declines to explain further.
His deeper fear is personal: as someone who crossed over from another world, he may be an anomaly the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate. Though Shichen once permitted him to live in this world and granted him Sagehood, Fuxi now suspects the Heavenly Dao may ultimately reject him.

Significant themes

• Authority versus self-determination: The Human Race may choose its own leaders, but its development remains bounded by the Heavenly Dao.
• Merit and responsibility: Shennong and Xuanyuan accept their roles through deeds and vows to serve their people.
• The Heavenly Dao’s impartiality and bias: Fuxi’s closing reflection suggests that a seemingly emotionless cosmic order can still favor its own rules—and may treat outsiders differently.

Plot points and events

• The Demon God of Deception, disguised as the Star Dao Lord, encounters Yang Mei in the void. Yang Mei is acting strangely: he has no wine flask and is unusually willing to travel.
• They arrive in a world where Demon Saint Ghost Chariot is trying to arrest a wounded boy who killed several cities’ inhabitants after his family was murdered. Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi intervene, but Hong Yun hesitates to oppose the Ancient Heavenly Court.
• Hong Yun’s magical treasure suddenly flies out and strikes Ghost Chariot, making the conflict unavoidable. Ghost Chariot summons the Lesser Heavenly Stellar Array, while Zhenyuanzi shields the group with the Earth Book.
• The disguised Deception and Yang Mei appear. Yang Mei discovers the Heavenly Court’s providence is tied to Shichen, reacts with displeasure, and orders Ghost Chariot and his forces to leave.
• Watching from concealment, the Karma and Fate Demon Gods suspect that Yang Mei and his companion are impostors. They note Yang Mei’s missing wine flask, his unusual outing, and Deception’s choice to imitate the Star Dao Lord. They decide to observe them and attack if they confirm the deception.
• As the confrontation settles, a new disturbance is reported: powerful anomalous energy nearby may be connected to Cthulhu’s followers.

Character developments and interactions

• Deception maintains a carefree façade while watching Yang Mei closely, suggesting he knows the disguise or behavior may be risky.
• Yang Mei behaves unlike his famously reclusive, wine-loving self. His hostility toward the Heavenly Court’s connection to Shichen hints at a deeper motive.
• Hong Yun is caught between compassion for the boy and fear of entanglement with the powerful Heavenly Court. The uncontrolled attack by his treasure leaves him confused and worried that fate is pushing him toward ruin.
• Zhenyuanzi protects Hong Yun and the boy while warning Hong Yun about the political consequences of opposing the Court.
• Karma and Fate trade suspicions and jokes, then agree to keep watch rather than alert the Dao Court.

Significant themes

• Fate and loss of agency: Hong Yun’s involuntary attack suggests events may be steering him toward conflict.
• Disguise and mistrust: Deception’s impersonation and Yang Mei’s suspicious behavior make appearances unreliable.
• Compassion versus political order: Hong Yun’s sympathy for the boy clashes with the Heavenly Court’s authority and laws.
• Hidden power struggles: Yang Mei’s reaction to Shichen’s influence—and the observers’ suspicions—signals deeper tensions beneath the public confrontation.

• The group is taken to Bureau headquarters for a statement. In the lobby, they overhear agents complaining about a new, harsh divine envoy nicknamed “Taotie.”

• That night, the boy is on the rooftop. Hongyun joins him and learns his story.

• Wang Xing gives Hongyun a treasure: Hongmeng Purple Qi. Hongyun is deeply alarmed, conceals its aura, and asks if anyone knows of it. Wang Xing says probably not.
• Hongyun senses karma forming around him and questions whether fate is inescapable. His system remains silent.
• The chapter ends with a sudden alarm: Cthulhu fanatics are attacking the Bureau headquarters.

• Hongyun: Grows increasingly anxious and philosophical. He sees patterns of fate manipulating him and doubts whether he can escape his “original death” destiny. His kindness is shown as he listens to Wang Xing without judgment.
• Wang Xing: Introduced as a grieving, resilient young man. He is grateful to Hongyun and trusts him enough to reveal his tragic past and gift him the precious purple qi.
• Yang Mei: Shows impatience and wants to crush the “ants” questioning him, but is restrained by the Demon God of Deception — showing his volatile, proud nature.
• Demon God of Deception: Pragmatic and adaptable, acting as a peacekeeper/mediator, quickly forging documents to avoid conflict.

3. Significant Themes

• Heavenly Law vs. Human Morality: The Ancient Heavenly Court’s judgment is portrayed as cold and unjust.
• Karma and Manipulation: Hongyun suspects the Hongmeng Purple Qi was deliberately sent to him, entangling him in hidden karmic threads.
