Emperor Jun evaded Wutian’s final attack and watched him transform, then recognized the nature of Extraterrestrial Devils as Wutian vanished.

Emperor Jun returned to the Eastern Primordial Desolation camp and learned that Wangshu was near death, just as she prepared to entrust him and Eastern Lord Duke with a final request.

Wangshu explained that the Dao-Devil Conflict had devastated the Primordial World and asked Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke to protect her two juniors, Xihe and Changxi. On the Moon Star, Wangshu prepared to die and divided her Daoist Sect Fortune among her juniors, the Moon Laurel Tree, Emperor Jun, and Eastern Lord Duke, alerting Hongjun to the change.

Emperor Jun used the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to draw Star Essence from the 480 Million Auxiliary Stars, then discovered that five regions were unusually dim and disrupting the Primordial Starry Sky’s rhythm.

After checking on Xihe and Changxi, he returned to the Sun Star and resumed sensing the harmonious rhythm of the Primordial Starry Sky to comprehend its Laws.

• Emperor Jun discovered that the Starry Sky Behemoth lacked intelligence and decided to kill it because the beasts threatened the Primordial World and their deaths earned merit.

Emperor Jun left the Fusang Tree and traveled to the Primordial Continent to climb Mount Buzhou, seeking to temper his body and will beneath its pressure.
