Recaps

The Ten Golden Crows’ flight scorched the Primordial World, while the Three Lives Post Stations sheltered refugees but barred those still causing the disaster. Hou Yi shot down nine princes before Taiyi intervened, and as the world recovered, Taiyi came to the Three Lives Gate to test Mysterious Abyss’s growing Life and Death Great Dao.

• Qi Feng failed to persuade the Azurewing, Inkfeather, and Redtail chiefs to return to the Demon Court, and the three clans passed the Abyss’s audit and settled in the Northern Sea.
• Kuafu pursued the Ten Golden Crows, but the post stations barred them while their Solar True Fire continued causing destruction, after Kuafu died, his Peachwood Staff became a grove, and he entered the path to Reincarnation.
• Hou Yi set out to avenge Kuafu and shot down nine Golden Crow princes, while Lu Chen completed his second Great Dao Inner Loop as the fallen suns’ Solar Origin returned to the world.
• Taiyi stopped Hou Yi’s final arrow and fought him, but Di Jiang rescued Hou Yi and forced Taiyi to withdraw with the surviving Tenth Crown Prince.
• Rain returned, refugees left the post stations or applied to settle in the Northern Sea, and Di Jun ordered the Demon Court’s forces to withdraw rather than fight the gathered Ancestral Witches.
• Taiyi asked Mysterious Abyss whether the Tenth Crown Prince could seek refuge in the Northern Sea, then challenged Mysterious Abyss to a single-strike spar with the Chaos Bell.
