As Pan Xuan prepared to open the Netherworld and establish reincarnation, he traveled east to seek the Four Sacred Beasts’ help stabilizing its boundaries.

• Di Jun and Taiyi invested the Star Gods through the Investiture of the Gods List, establishing the Heavenly Court’s Stellar Division under Taiyi’s command.

• Pan Xuan reached the eastern extremity, Cangwu, where the ancient forests marked the source of yi-wood energy and the domain of Azure Dragon.

Pan Xuan visited the Four Pole Sages to ask them to station avatars at the Netherworld’s four poles when the Witch Clan opened it, and all four agreed.

The reincarnation law was established in the Netherworld, completing the cycle of death and rebirth and earning merit from the Great Dao and Heavenly Dao. Minghe broke through to the late stage of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, while Pan Xuan declared that departed souls would henceforth be judged, purified, and reborn through the Six Paths.

Di Jun and Taiyi traveled to Zixiao Palace to ask Hong Jun how the Heavenly Court could respond to the Divine Dao System’s expansion. Hong Jun realized that Pan Xuan’s early creation of reincarnation had brought forth the Earthly Dao, dividing the Primordial World’s authority and overturning his plans.

• Taiyi and Kunpeng warned Di Jun that the Witch Clan’s work in the Blood Sea had expanded the Divine Dao System and widened its lead over the Heavenly Court.
• Di Jun decided to seek guidance from Hong Jun, ordered Taiyi to accompany him, and left Kunpeng in charge of the Heavenly Court’s military preparations.

• The Earthly Dao’s aura reached Zixiao Palace, disrupting Hong Jun and causing Taiyi’s Chaos Bell to hum faintly.

• Hong Jun advised Di Jun to unite the Demon Clan, deepen the Heavenly Court’s control over stellar laws, and establish a broader system of order.
• Hong Jun said the Witch Clan would spend tens of thousands of years consolidating the Netherworld, giving the Heavenly Court time to strengthen itself and prepare for changes when the Sages emerged.

After Hong Jun advised Di Jun to strengthen the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Taiyi left Zixiao Palace, while Taiyi sensed the Chaos Bell answering Pangu’s call.
