Arc 11The War of Eight Dynasties
Su Yueli uncovered Motian Xing’s role in driving the Eight Dynasties into war, but his manipulation of Shen Huai'an made stopping him costly. After Motian Xing used Demon Seeds to force her to choose between pursuing him and saving three cities, Su Yueli rescued the survivors and resolved to kill him even if millions of civilians perished.
- Su Yueli found evidence that the Demon Path had impersonated both sides to reignite the Great Xun–Great Qian war, but the commanders refused to stop fighting.
- Su Yueli tried to protect civilians across the continent as Motian Xing created crises to distract her, while Han Yu defended Great Li Pass and nearly died before Su Yueli arrived to save her.
- Su Yueli discovered that Shen Huai'an remained trapped in the same body as Motian Xing and learned that killing Motian Xing would kill Shen Huai'an too.
- Su Yueli failed to stop the Eight Dynasties from mobilizing and fighting, and Motian Xing absorbed the deathly energy generated by the widening war.
- Su Yueli convened the Eight Dynasties at Sky Evolution Mountain and exposed Demon Marks behind two murders, but the representatives rejected her evidence and the talks collapsed.
- Su Yueli exposed Demon Path networks across the dynasties, yet the armies chose to resume fighting, allowing Motian Xing to absorb the deaths and resentment at Red Sand Plains.
- Su Yueli broke Motian Xing’s control over the dead and wounded him, but she abandoned her pursuit when he revealed that Demon Seeds were infecting three cities.
- Su Yueli destroyed the Demon Seeds and saved survivors in all three cities while Motian Xing escaped, then told Han Yu she did not regret her choice and resolved to kill him regardless of the civilian cost.
