• Guiyuan proposed that the Heavenly Book govern the Myriad Stars, and Hongjun revealed it as the Investiture of the Gods List.
• Hongjun said the new Heavenly Court would need to recruit members from the three great teachings because it could not rely on the Demon Clan.

He appointed Haotian and Yaochi as Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother, then began discussing the court’s structure as Yuan was asked about the Human Dynasty gathering the Three Talents.

• Tongtian and Zhunti asked whether disciples could join the Investiture of the Gods List, and Hongjun explained that those bound to it would be controlled by the list but could be reborn while it remained intact.

• Hongjun bestowed spiritual treasures on Haotian and Yaochi, then asked the Saints to arrange the Heavenly Court’s ranks; when they stayed silent, he asked Yuan whether the Human Dynasty would gather the Three Talents of heaven, earth, and humanity.

• Shi Hao asked when Guiyuan would act in Sacred Ruins, and Guiyuan said he would wait until Ye Fan reached the Mortal World Immortal or Immortal King Realm.
• Guiyuan explained that becoming an Immortal Emperor in Sacred Ruins would require him to terminate a Great Thousand World, likely the Weird Plateau, and Shi Hao discussed using the chance to lure out the Master of the Three Lives Bronze Coffin.

• Guiyuan appeared at the Holy Father Temple, where Yuan and Suiren sensed his arrival and hurried to meet him.
