• The physicians said Zhan Qisheng could not be saved, while he wished that his fortune could be given to Yingning.
• Fuxi and Nüwa arrived on Dragon Ancestor Island as Yinglong blasted the monks to dust, and Nüwa declared that she would not spare the dragon.

Du Yu questioned Fuxi after Yinglong’s death and discovered that Fuxi and Nüwa had come to fulfill a dying wish, not to mend the sky.

• Fuxi told Du Yu that he and Nüwa had not planned to mend the sky and had spent seven days sightseeing instead.
• Du Yu challenged Fuxi over neglecting the suffering people, and Fuxi replied that having a powerful, obedient sister could make anyone a great god.

Du Yu realized Fuxi was the real threat and decided to kill him, ordering the Seven Outstanding Disciples of the Sage to prepare an attack. He revealed his plan to the Black Monks, who retreated to report to Great Dark Heaven, though Dong Qianqiu suspected their withdrawal was only Du Yu’s first step.

• Du Yu ambushed Fuxi, while A Can and A Kui restrained him and Xie Yujiao immobilized his tail with Array Flags.

After Du Yu and the others vanished, Fuxi was left gravely wounded and crawled toward Nüwa, hoping she would revive him. You Si offered him a chance to become Eternity, but rejected him as an unsuitable candidate and left him behind; two versions of You Si then questioned why they both existed in the same spacetime.

• The recall light struck Fuxi as Du Yu and the others disappeared, leaving him barely alive and unable to get a response from Nüwa.
• You Si arrived and offered Fuxi the chance to become Eternity by joining her and gaining control over time.
• Fuxi eagerly agreed and grabbed You Si's hand, but she discovered that his weak cultivation and state of mind made him unfit to become time.
• You Si rejected Fuxi and withdrew the black curtain with her counterpart, leaving him with Nüwa as they judged that he would not survive.
• One You Si stopped the other and asked why there were two of her in the same spacetime.

Nüwa refused to save Fuxi after realizing he had manipulated her into killing countless Supreme Pivots, and Dong Qianqiu guided her toward mending the sky with the Five-Colored Stones. Du Yu returned to the strange passage and confronted Time, who challenged him about joining forces with Sage.

After returning from Descent, Du Yu learned that Shiranui Asuka had left and found Zhan Qisheng, Yingning, and Weaver Girl near death. He placed the three in his Eight Directions Ghost Record and asked the Queen Mother of the West and Houtu for help, while the Bureau prepared to flee and Du Yu stayed behind to face Great Dark Heaven.

• Du Yu woke at the Legend Management Bureau after being unconscious for a day and learned that Jin Jianglang had taken Shiranui Asuka away.
• Du Yu visited the Treatment Room, where Zhan Qisheng, Yingning, and Weaver Girl were being kept alive by the Four Divine Healers, alongside the Queen Mother of the West and Houtu.

• Du Yu told his companions he would give the Eight Directions Ghost Record to Lady Houtu and go to his death to stop He Suoyi from killing millions of Immortals.

• Weaver Girl proposed that the seven beings combine their strength into one strike against Great Dark Heaven.

• Du Yu rejected the plan to combine everyone’s cultivation into one strike, saying he would not gamble again.
• Du Yu asked Yinglong to identify his two brothers, and threatened to send Yinglong’s soul to reincarnation when he initially denied knowing them.

• Yinglong recognized A Can and A Kui and said they should have died long ago, prompting A Can to accuse him of knowing their past.
• Yinglong explained that he had feared death after gaining sentience, but chose to have offspring rather than pursue transformation and immortality.

Yinglong searched for mates and punished his nine sons for failing to inherit his ambition, turning them into figures carved on instruments, weapons, buildings, and monuments. He left the story having lost heart and deciding that humans might be the only suitable mates.

• Yinglong fathered Qiuniu with a python and punished him by placing him atop a zither for loving music instead of cultivation.
• Yinglong fathered Yazi with a wolf and Chaofeng with a bird, then punished them by having them carved on weapons and eaves for their bloodlust and gentleness.
• Yinglong fathered Pulao with a golden toad and Suanni with a lion, punishing them by placing them atop a bell and an incense burner.
• Yinglong let Baxia live but imprisoned his mother and demanded coins from him; Baxia carried passengers across the sea to earn money.

• Yinglong lost heart after his nine sons rejected his ways and concluded that humans might make suitable mates.

Yinglong abducted two sisters and tried to make them bear his offspring, mistaking their terror and desperation for signs of human affection. After he destroyed their village and left them starving in his cave, the sisters threatened to kill themselves, prompting Yinglong to dismiss their unborn children as useless before an idea about an immortal body occurred to him.

• Yinglong captured two sisters, slaughtered their village, and brought them to his cave, believing his strength would win their willingness to mate.

• The sisters threatened to stab themselves unless Yinglong let them go and gave them food, but he told them to kill their fetuses if they wished.
• The elder sister cursed Yinglong and said she would tear him apart if she had an immortal body, making Yinglong recall the possibility of such a body.

Yinglong confessed how he imprisoned A Can and A Kui, and Du Yu had Xingtian punish him before recognizing that their survival and lost memories remained unexplained. With the historic battle four days away, Du Yu told his companions to take shelter while he waited for He Suoyi and Great Dark Heaven to come kill him; they understood and prepared to leave for the Western Paradise.

• Yinglong admitted that he had sealed A Can and A Kui in a cave and assumed they died there, so Du Yu had Xingtian beat him.
• Du Yu apologized to A Can and A Kui and deduced that someone must have rescued them before their unnatural deaths, though he still could not explain their lost memories.
• Du Yu gathered A Can, A Kui, Liu Ling, Xie Yujiao, and Xiao Nian and told them he would not fight He Suoyi and Great Dark Heaven.
• Du Yu asked everyone to take shelter and return afterward to help rebuild the Legend Management Bureau while he waited to die.
• A Can, A Kui, Liu Ling, Xie Yujiao, and Xiao Nian agreed to leave for the Western Paradise, showing Du Yu they understood his plan.

Du Yu watched the Legend Management Bureau’s device reveal that his life had become an ongoing legend, then saw Nüwa complete the repair of the sky using Baxia’s legs. The chapter left Nüwa’s actions and Du Yu’s identity as a Supreme Pivot weighing on him.

• Dong Qianqiu showed Du Yu the legend of his life, which had reached the present but had no ending yet.
• Du Yu noticed black interruptions in the legend’s footage and recognized them as moments when he had met Time.

• Nüwa cut off Baxia’s four legs and used them as pillars to restore the sky, then transformed them into flippers so he could move through the sea.

Du Yu ordered the Legend Management Bureau evacuated and its equipment destroyed, while Dong Qianqiu secretly preserved a device recording his past in case it could help save him. At Houtu’s cave, the Underworld’s leaders agreed to evacuate their forces, but the Eastern Peak Great Emperor of Mount Tai warned that no one would remain to handle the dead mortals.

• Du Yu told Dong Qianqiu to destroy every device, and Shen Shi secretly slipped something into Du Yu’s pocket while pretending to complain about the Bureau’s evacuation.
• Dong Qianqiu directed the staff to destroy the equipment but hid the device recording Du Yu’s journey in the basement, hoping it might someday help save him.
• Du Yu arrived at Lady Houtu’s cave and met Netherworld, the Emperor of Fengdu, and the Eastern Peak Great Emperor of Mount Tai.
• Netherworld agreed to lead the Ten Directional Ghost Emperors and the Underworld’s soldiers away, and the Eastern Peak Great Emperor of Mount Tai agreed to take the Yamas, Judges, and Impermanences.
• The Eastern Peak Great Emperor of Mount Tai warned Du Yu that the Underworld would have no one to deal with mortals who died after the evacuation.
