Lin Heng and his companions rejected Fate’s vision of a peaceful eternal world and resolved to investigate the Eternal Ruins for clues to the clan Fate had mentioned. At the ruins, rival factions had united, and an old grudge between Dijiang and Sun Zhe surfaced as the groups prepared to compete for the Pangu Axe.

• Lin Heng prompted Gonggong to check whether Sun Zhe still bore his old slap mark, and Gonggong struck Sun Zhe across the face.
• Hermoz ordered Sun Zhe to stand down, warning him away from a fight he could not win against Gonggong.
• Hermoz warned Dijiang that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had made enemies of cultivators across the Four Seas.
• The bronze cauldron began forming the Pangu Axe head, prompting the gathered cultivators to prepare for a coming battle.

• Chu Duanhun charged forward, seized the blade, and received the Western Celebratory Demon Sea's protection as opponents attacked him.
• Dijiang asked whether Lin Heng should join the battle, but Lin Heng said he would wait and claimed he had a way to cow everyone.

Lin Heng intervened in the battle over the Pangu Axe's axe body by drawing the Fuxi Bow and threatening Chu Duanhun. Chu Duanhun hesitated to surrender the treasure, while Sun Zhe reminded him that doing so would fulfill their alliance and leave Chu Duanhun unable to compete for the axe soul next time.

• Sun Zhe told Chu Duanhun that surrendering the axe body would fulfill their alliance and bar Chu Duanhun from competing for the axe soul next time.

Lin Heng threatened Chu Duanhun with the Fuxi Bow to claim the Pangu Axe head, but Dasiwoba intervened to save Chu Duanhun. The leaders then argued over whether Chu Duanhun could remain in the Eternal Ruins and who should receive the axe head, ending with Hermoz unexpectedly proposing that Lin Heng take it.

• Lin Heng shot at Chu Duanhun after Chu Duanhun refused to hand over the Pangu Axe head, and the arrow shattered Chu Duanhun's sword and armor.

• Hongjun and Lin Yue Yao rejected Hermoz's attempt to keep Chu Duanhun in the ruins, and Lin Yue Yao said the axe head need not go to Lin Heng.
• Hermoz unexpectedly agreed that Chu Duanhun could stay and said the Pangu Axe head should be given to Lin Heng.

• Hermoz offered Lin Heng the Pangu Axe blade on the condition that he withdraw from the next contest for its final spirit treasure, but Lin Heng refused.

After ten days of studying the Fuxi Bow, Dijiang neared the Lord of the Four Seas level but refused Fate’s offer to help him break through.

• Hermoz offered Dasiwoba territory and first access to Mu Chen’s inheritance in exchange for helping kill Lin Heng, and swore an oath to honor the deal.

• Lin Heng and the Good Avatar reasoned that Hermoz might target their relatives and friends in the Nine Heavens to force Lin Heng to surrender.
• The Good Avatar proposed asking Primordial Chaos to help bring Lin Heng’s mother and others to the upper realm, while Lin Heng decided to seek him out.
