• Nüwa guided the Nüwa Stone through Chaos, creating a Small World whose newborn Laws let Emperor Jun and the gathered beings comprehend her Creation Dao.
• Nüwa used the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram and the Red Bridal Ball to stabilize the Small World as Chaotic Energy pressed against it.

• Nüwa called for Feng'er, and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal Cai Feng flew into Wa Emperor Palace and prostrated beside her.

• Red Cloud Daoist nearly spoke up about becoming a Sage, but Zhenyuanzi stopped him, and Nüwa told the assembly to comprehend Primordial Violet Qi and find their own paths.

Emperor Jun helped Nüwa conceal her Heavenly Secret inquiry by using the Hetu Luoshu Diagram and her spiritual treasures, weakening her connection to the Heavenly Dao. Nüwa revealed that she had seen a future trend but could not discover the Demon Clan’s fate because an inexplicable force blocked her, leaving Emperor Jun to consider that a power at least equal to a Sage was involved.

• Emperor Jun used the Hetu Luoshu Diagram and his Law Golden Wheel to disrupt the Heavenly Secret around Nüwa.

• Emperor Jun asked whether the Demon Clan would decline and the Heavenly Court be destroyed, but Nüwa said she could not see their future because an inexplicable force intercepted her inquiries.
• Emperor Jun concluded that the force blocking Nüwa was at least as powerful as a Sage.

Emperor Jun learned from Nüwa's vision that the Six Sages would guide the Primordial World, the Celestial Court would be destroyed, and the Human Race would rise as the Wu Tribe declined. He concluded that the Demon Clan's formation, merit, and Karmic Luck might conceal it from the vision, and left confident that its future could differ.

• Emperor Jun reasoned that the Demon Clan's Grand Heavenly Star Formation, Karmic Luck, and merit could hide it from Nüwa's perception.
• Nüwa told Emperor Jun that the Six Sages would replace the Primordial Heavenly Dao or Hongjun in guiding the world, but she could not leave the Wa Emperor Palace until all Six Sages appeared.
• Nüwa described a future in which the Celestial Court was destroyed, the Wu Tribe declined, and the Human Race rose to become the largest race.
• Emperor Jun asked Nüwa about the Wu Tribe's upheaval, the Human Race's trials, and the Law Manifestation Method, but she had seen no details or process in the future tide of destiny.
• Nüwa warned that the Demon Clan might also face danger, while Emperor Jun argued that its strength could keep it hidden and suggested that the Celestial Court might instead prosper.
• Emperor Jun said he understood Nüwa's account of the future tide of destiny.

After Nüwa restored her connection to the Heavenly Dao, Emperor Jun used the Demon Clan’s resources to nourish Mount Buzhou and delay its collapse. As the Primordial World settled into a lull, the Human Race’s three ancestors advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortals through their own Law Manifestations.

• Nüwa reconnected to the Heavenly Dao, and Emperor Jun promised that the Demon Clan’s fortune would help her recover.
• Emperor Jun returned to the Hall of Universal Brightness and ordered the Grand Heavenly Star Formation to send starlight and Primordial Spiritual Energy to Mount Buzhou.
• The great powers of the Primordial World observed the starlight, while Hongjun calculated that it had stabilized Mount Buzhou but could not prevent its eventual collapse.
• The Primordial World entered a period of relative calm after Nüwa’s ascension to Sagehood.
• Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi used the Law Manifestation Method and merit to reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal, each bearing a manifestation with their own face.
