As the defenses began to fail, powerful factions from the Mid-Latitude Realm descended upon the battlefield, and the old man left the outcome to Ye Qiubai.

• Mu Zhengting ordered the human forces to retreat to Dragonrise City, and the activated World-Purifying Great Arrays stopped the Evil Race's advance.

The seven Mid-Latitude Realm forces forced the Evil Race to retreat, then demanded that the Low-Latitude Realm provide a star map and surrender most of its resources. As Mu Zhengting and the other leaders considered fighting back, Ye Qiubai saw a possible way to exploit the seven forces’ competing interests.

• He Wuwei ordered Xie Nan to withdraw the Evil Race army, and Xie Nan reluctantly pulled his troops back into Boundary Mountain.
• He Wuwei introduced himself as the Heavenly Mandate Sect’s deputy sect master and demanded a star map, claiming the seven forces would divide the territory and keep ninety percent of its resources.

• Xie Nan retreated to report to the Evil Race’s leaders, while Mu Zhengting summoned the major powers to discuss how to respond.
• Mu Libei and the other leaders proposed fighting rather than becoming slaves, and Ye Qiubai realized the seven forces might have conflicting interests.
• Ye Qiubai stepped forward in the great hall and said he might have a way to handle the crisis.

Ye Qiubai proposed exploiting the rivalry among the seven invading forces by sowing discord instead of fighting them head-on. The gathered leaders accepted the plan, and Ye Qiubai volunteered to handle the negotiations.

• Ye Qiubai offered to share a plan, but Han Qinghe tried to silence him until Jian Wufeng and Mu Libei defended his right to speak.
• Ye Qiubai explained that the seven forces would compete over the Low-Latitude Realm’s spoils, giving their opponents a chance to turn them against one another.
• Mu Libei recognized the plan as a way to magnify the invaders’ greed, while Ye Qiubai called him “Father-in-law” and surprised the gathered leaders.
• Ye Qiubai said the coalition should sow discord to trigger suspicion and internal strife among the seven forces.
• When Mu Zhengting asked how to carry out the plan, Ye Qiubai volunteered to handle the negotiations.

Ye Qiubai went to Wuxu City to discuss an important matter and proved his strength when two young men blocked his way. After suppressing one man’s Sword Intent and cutting apart his attack, he was invited inside to meet the senior.

• Ye Qiubai and his companions left the hall, and Mu Zhengting urged Mu Libei to reconsider the Mu Clan’s reliance on bloodline power.
• Ye Qiubai chose to approach the weakest factions first and went to Wuxu City’s quarters with Hong Ying.

Ye Qiubai met with an old man from Wuxu City and tried to persuade him that the city should oppose the other major factions’ control of the Mid-Latitude Realm’s resources. The old man dismissed his attempt to sow discord until Ye Qiubai claimed he might persuade Heavenly Sword Peak, prompting a sharp reaction.

• Ye Qiubai ignored the two young men he had defeated and entered the room to meet the old man.
• The old man recognized that Ye Qiubai had not come to negotiate and warned him that persuader’s tricks would not work.
• Ye Qiubai shared wine with the old man, discussed the Mid-Latitude Realm, and learned that one faction controlled each realm.
• Ye Qiubai argued that Wuxu City received too small a share of the realm’s limited resources because it was among the weakest of the seven major factions.
• The old man admitted Ye Qiubai had nearly persuaded him but said the other factions’ greater strength made discord useless.
• Ye Qiubai said he might persuade Heavenly Sword Peak, and the old man reacted with sudden interest.

The old man decided he could use Ye Qiubai’s attempt to sow discord among the seven major factions for his own purposes. Back at the Cottage, the little bird revealed her Vermilion Bird bloodline during a powerful breakthrough, and the Willow Tree told Lu Changsheng to help her evolve by giving her a drop of his blood essence.

• The old man told two young men about Ye Qiubai’s proposal and said he intended to turn the scheme to his advantage.
• The little bird’s breakthrough filled the Cottage with Nirvana Fire, which the Willow Tree contained.
• The little bird awakened a divine phoenix phantom, and Liu Ziru recognized it as the Vermilion Bird, the Phoenix Clan’s royal bloodline.
• Lu Changsheng protected Liu Ziru from the phantom’s presence with a casual wave of his hand.
• The Willow Tree said the little bird’s bloodline could still evolve and instructed Lu Changsheng to give her a drop of his blood essence.

Lu Changsheng gave Little Bird a drop of his blood essence, allowing her Vermilion Bird Bloodline to transform into the Divine Phoenix Bloodline. After three days of transformation, Little Bird flew off to seek her clan’s ruins, while Ye Qiubai arrived at Heavenly Sword Peak’s encampment.

• Willow Tree explained that the Vermilion Bird Bloodline was a key to the Divine Phoenix Bloodline and that Little Bird had the potential to attain it.
• Lu Changsheng released a drop of blood essence, whose overwhelming presence shook the Wilderness Realm and forced Liu Ziru to the ground until Willow Tree helped him.
• Willow Tree used green light to guide Lu Changsheng’s blood essence into Little Bird so her body could absorb it safely.
• Little Bird underwent a three-day transformation as her Nirvana Fire gained azure flames and her bloodline advanced to the Divine Phoenix Bloodline.
• Little Bird flew away to search for her clan’s ruins, and Ye Qiubai arrived at Heavenly Sword Peak’s encampment.

Ye Qiubai persuaded Chu Guidao of Heavenly Sword Peak to support his scheme against the seven major factions, though Chu Guidao warned that it might fail. Ye Qiubai returned to the Boundless Dynasty, where the factions prepared for war, and four days later seven pillars of light descended upon the Boundless Imperial City.

• Ye Qiubai found Chu Guidao meditating in the mountains and deduced that he belonged to Heavenly Sword Peak.
• Chu Guidao agreed to help Ye Qiubai's plan but refused to act directly and warned that the seven major factions might see through it.
• Ye Qiubai returned to the Boundless Dynasty and told the gathered leaders that Wuxu City and Heavenly Sword Peak had agreed to cooperate.
• Ye Qiubai urged everyone to prepare for war, and Mu Zhengting ordered them to get ready to fight to the death if the plan failed.
• Four days later, seven pillars of light descended upon the Boundless Imperial City.

He Wuwei demanded the Boundless Realm submit, but Ye Qiubai’s plan briefly divided the seven factions and delayed their attack. When negotiations failed, Mu Zhengting and the others vowed to resist, and He Wuwei began slaughtering cultivators with overwhelming force.

• He Wuwei arrived with six other experts and demanded the completed star map, while Mu Zhengting asked for more time and Ye Qiubai urged him to wait.
• Chu Guidao and the leaders of Wuxu City, the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Hehuan Sect challenged the territory allocation, disrupting He Wuwei’s plan to seize control.

• Mu Zhengting called on everyone to fight rather than become slaves, and Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, Xiao Hei, and the Cottage’s others prepared to resist.
• He Wuwei struck with a pillar of light that erased thousands of cultivators, leaving Mu Zhengting and the others facing the battle they had feared.
