Meanwhile, Emperor Jianyuan prepared to unseal Ji Yang’s Tomb and use the Reversal of Yin and Yang array to control the Heaven-Gazing Hou and the Four Great Corpse Ancestors.

• Emperor Jianyuan ordered Yu Kunlun to activate the array and break the seal, trusting that his Heaven-Gazing Hou Clone would keep the creature under his control.

Emperor Jianyuan chose to break the seal at Ji Yang’s Tomb despite Zong Shenhua’s warnings, while Ji Yang and her allies prepared to use Great Law Dynasty’s dragon qi and Li Mountain Old Mother’s spear to kill the Yellow Emperor. In the starry battle, Zangtian rekindled his power and severely wounded the Ice God, the Black Emperor.

• Chu Xisheng planned to use the hidden array to prepare a primordial world embryo for the Yellow Emperor while masking the omens of Zangtian's resurrection.

The Timekeeping Star Lord reported that Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun had revived the Azure Dragon and that the Great Law Empress had forced him into a deadly battle in Guixu. As Demon God Zangtian killed Ice God Black Emperor and wounded Void God Sheyuan, he finally detonated himself and fell beneath the watching gods.

• The Timekeeping Star Lord told Taihao and Yuexi that Chu Xisheng had restored the Azure Dragon and that he had destroyed Demon God Zangtian's origin embryo, then admitted the Great Law Empress had gravely wounded Di Jiang and sealed Guixu's exit.

After Zangtian and Ice God Black Emperor fell, Chu Xisheng learned that Zangtian’s Wraiths had formed a powerful blood cloud and realized the Gods might unite against the Human Race. In Ji Yang’s Tomb, Emperor Jianyuan ordered the seals broken, but Li Mountain Old Mother’s spear struck at the Yellow Emperor and Shen Bore appeared to stop it.

• Chu Xisheng sensed Zangtian’s death and continued preparing the Yellow Emperor’s Heaven and Earth Embryo while awaiting the chance to recover Zangtian’s True Spirit.

• Li Mountain Old Mother’s spear Years hurtled toward the Yellow Emperor, but Shen Bore appeared and stopped it.

Yu Kunlun halted the Reversal of Yin and Yang and revealed that Emperor Jianyuan’s Dragon Qi depended on the Dream-Illusion Method he had spread across the northern Divine Land. The Heaven-Gazing Hou and twelve Red Dragons completed their exchange, leaving the array’s future in Yu Kunlun’s hands.

• After the Heaven-Gazing Hou and twelve Red Dragons exchanged positions, Yu Kunlun warned that lifting his Dream-Illusion Method would affect the nearly completed reversal, shocking Emperor Jianyuan, Yue Xiner, and the Four Great Corpse Ancestors.

In Ji Yang's Tomb, Yu Kunlun let the illusion collapse, accepted the karmic consequences, and entrusted his dragon spine to Emperor Wen as an apology to Chu Xisheng, whom he said was the only one who could preserve the Heaven-Gazing Hou's consciousness.

• Wang Dalong remembered that his mother and father had died, the authorities had taken his grain, and his youngest son was in the kitchen as the dream ended.

Chu Xisheng used the Origin Spirit tide to imprint Zangtian’s Primordial Spirit on the Heaven and Earth Embryo, then began refining the Ruin Core into his body. When the First-Generation Heaven-Gazing Hou, desperate and nearly destroyed, accepted Chu Xisheng’s Divine Covenant, Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli realized he had found a way to win without giving it dragon qi.

• Chu Xisheng asked Star Lord Putian to carry out another task, then used the Origin Spirit tide to imprint Zangtian’s Primordial Spirit on the Heaven and Earth Embryo before putting it away.
• Chu Xisheng continued refining the Yellow Emperor’s embryo and planned to merge the Ruin Core with his Nine Orifices of Primordial Yang.

• Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli understood that Chu Xisheng could secure victory without giving the Heaven-Gazing Hou dragon qi, and Chu Xisheng made clear he had no intention of making it his spirit pet.

Mad Sword Feng San found the Heaven-Stealing Divine Hands in the Imperial Palace and used them to carry out Chu Xisheng’s plan, but he was bewildered when he reached the Nation-Guarding Array.

Shen Bore used the Heaven-Substitution Method to scatter the First-Generation Heaven-Gazing Hou’s flesh and blood, while drawing Emperor Jianyuan out of danger and setting him on a path north. In Guixu, Chu Xisheng finished refining the Ruin Core and agreed to spar with Chu Yunyun after the war.

Emperor Jianyuan broke the seal on Diwa’s coffin, while Shen Bore’s plan to bring forth the child she carried succeeded. Chu Xisheng and Qin Muge arrived as Diwa lay near death, and Chu moved to protect her from the surrounding gods.

• Chu Xisheng decided to strike Diwa's abdomen again to prevent the fetus from draining her life essence, but a laughing stranger appeared before his saber reached her.

Shen Zhenru emerged from Diwa’s sealed body and learned that the world had changed, while Chu Xisheng and the gods fought to contain her. As Shen Zhenru turned her borrowed powers against Chu Xisheng, he unleashed a vast retributive saber strike, and Chu Yunyun attacked her, prompting an unexpected connection between them.
