Fang Yun guided the Emperor Race tribe’s return from the Seven Linked Stars, teaching the children and keeping the guards vigilant. A sudden attack by Genesis World-Extinguishing Dragons injured the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon, and Fang Yun chose to remain outside as the Saint Ancestors fought beyond sight.

As the tribe celebrated, he insisted they review the battle and noticed the enemy’s limited attack was suspicious, just as the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon abruptly changed course.

• The Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon suddenly turned sharply, and Di Han ordered everyone to prepare for battle.

• The Emperor Race Sages confirmed that the Dragons had gone to the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon, and Di Han said their own Saint Ancestor had sent no message.
• Fang Yun offered condolences, and Di Han admitted that the lack of news meant the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon’s prospects looked bleak.

• Fang Yun entered the refuge stone house ahead of the others, and Di Han dragged the terrified Four-Legged Black Snake inside.
• Di Gan pushed Fang Yun into the glowing pool, which transported him and the others to a hidden refuge that resembled the Emperor Race Tribe.
• Di Lan explained that the refuge was inside the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon and would protect the Emperor Race bloodline as long as it survived.
• Fang Yun and the Saints discussed whether the World-Extinguishing Emperor Dragon had sacrificed its own Saint Ancestors or acquired a supreme treasure to target the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon and the Emperor Race.

Fang Yun learned that he could not safely watch the Ancestors’ battle from the refuge, but the Ancestors unexpectedly summoned him to their Grand Council. Di Han escorted him to the Ancestral Hall and warned him to listen rather than speak.

• Fang Yun asked Di Lan how he could watch the battle among the Ancestors safely, and Di Lan said only a Saint Ancestor could protect him.
• Di Lan described Di Han’s strength and warned Fang Yun that seeing the World-Extinguishing Emperor Dragon could kill anyone below Sainthood who felt negative emotion.

• Fang Yun gathered his sacred sense and perceived the Saint Ancestors as interwoven trajectories of the Sacred Way, from which he gleaned hazy information.

• Fang Yun sensed the Saint Ancestors’ divine exchange and absorbed fragments of their discussion, but withdrew when their conflict grew too violent.

• Di Ji praised Fang Yun’s call to seek a better way, then declared that charging in to kill was better than arguing and retreating.
• Di Ji’s star vanished as the ancestors departed, and Fang Yun saw Di Ji and the other Saint Ancestors appear in jade armor before the Ancestral Hall.

Fang Yun witnessed the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon and the World-Extinguishing Emperor Dragon battle over the Strongest Divine Star, then survived the Emperor Dragon’s Defiling Light by accidentally striking himself and waking from its influence. The Emperor Race Saint Ancestors attacked the World-Extinguishing Emperor Dragon, but gray divine light stopped their charge.

• The Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon opened a view of the dusky world and revealed the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon, whose Strongest Divine Star was surrounded by sixteen wounded Genesis World-Extinguishing Dragons.

• Fang Yun found the new Chronicle page contained complete, beautifully rendered Sacred Way trajectories, while his Literary Palace had grown several times larger and gained a faint Sacred Way aura.

Fang Yun used the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon’s borrowed power to retrieve a metal fragment from the battlefield of the ancestors, discovering it was a Primordial Sacred Object. After failing to reach the battlefield’s other debris himself, he planned to keep working with her to gather treasures.

• Fang Yun worked with the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon seven times and obtained seven kinds of divine objects of Primordial Antiquity, along with enormous Nine-Pole Heavenly Pillar fragments.

Fang Yun and the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon were trapped by the World-Extinguishing Emperor Dragon’s Six Ancestors Banning Heaven technique, leaving them helpless as Nethernight White Demons began devouring her. The Chaotic Void then vanished, revealing the Great Wilderness Azure Dragon and the ancestors.

• Fang Yun realized the danger was imminent and urged the Hundred-Winged Tortoise-Dragon to retreat after learning she could not spatially transport the refuge’s occupants.
