After Taishang threatened him with the Six Sages, Di Xin summoned the Three Human Emperors, whose presences rose from the direction of Fire Cloud Cave.

Finding the Human Clan weakened and suspecting the Heavenly Dao had deceived them, they sensed Taishang and Yuanshi near the Kongtong Seal and hurried toward Di Xin.

• Golden light from Shouyang Mountain healed and strengthened people across the Human Clan’s territory, and the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven reappeared in its former glory.

• Yuanshi recognized the scroll as a Great Dao Diary Scroll and fled, claiming he had to return to the Interception Sect.

• As Di Xin began to tell the Three Sovereigns what the scroll recorded, Taishang angrily summoned the Taiji Diagram’s true form.

Taishang attacked Di Xin and the Three Sovereigns with the Taiji Diagram, but Di Xin’s red-lit Great Dao Diary Scroll drove back its power. Enraged, Taishang tried to unleash even more of the treasure’s strength, only for the Taiji Diagram to recoil from the red light as he prepared to pour in eighty percent of his Hunyuan Qi.

• Taishang gritted his teeth and began pouring eighty percent of his Hunyuan Qi into the Taiji Diagram.

• Taishang infused the Taiji Diagram with Hunyuan Qi and smashed it into the red light, unleashing a blast that devastated nearby lands and killed many onlookers while leaving the Human Clan’s territory unharmed.
• Taishang sensed fear in the Taiji Diagram’s consciousness and saw that the collision had cracked the treasure, so he abandoned his plans to attack Di Xin and fled.

• The Three Sovereigns urged Di Xin to return with them and strengthen the Human Clan before the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and Di Xin also resolved to deal with Xiqi.
• As Di Xin moved to retrieve the Great Dao Diary Scroll, it flew after Taishang in the direction he had escaped.

Di Xin’s Great Dao Diary Scroll pursued Taishang, overwhelmed him, and returned with his Taiji Diagram, leaving the Three Sovereigns astonished by its power. Di Xin revealed the scroll to them, and they were shocked by the prophecy recorded inside.

• Di Xin told the Three Sovereigns that his treasure had gone after Taishang, and Fuxi urged him to recall it before it left Human Clan territory.

• Xuanyuan reached toward the red light and was blasted away, then recovered with help from Fuxi, Shennong, and Di Xin.
• Di Xin revealed the scroll, and the Three Sovereigns saw its Dao resonance and read its contents, reacting with shock to what seemed to be a prophecy.

Taishang recovered after a red light stole his Taiji Diagram and searched in vain for the vanished Sages, then found the Interception Sect’s fortune rising dramatically. As he prepared to warn Yuanshi and Hongjun, Hongjun summoned him and revealed that the other Sages had vanished, Yuanshi was gravely wounded, and Tongtian was about to abandon his Sage position.

• The red light swallowed Taishang’s Taiji Diagram, severed much of its connection to his primordial spirit, and injured him with the backlash.

• Hongjun questioned Taishang about the mountain, and Taishang explained that Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos had described a mysterious courtyard there.

• Taishang tumbled into the courtyard, and Hongjun left the others behind as he hurried inside to meet the master.

• Hongjun demanded to know whether Lin Tian knew who he was, but Lin Tian refused to care and threatened to leave him dead if he did not leave.

Taishang arrived in Lin Tian’s courtyard and discovered Shen Gongbao carrying the Investiture of the Gods, but Hongjun’s furious confrontation with Lin Tian interrupted his plan to seize it. Lin Tian cursed Hongjun from inside the room, and after a muffled impact the courtyard fell silent, leaving Taishang and the Two Sages of the West wondering what had happened.

• Taishang considered taking the Investiture of the Gods from Shen Gongbao when Hongjun roared from inside the room, awakening Shen Gongbao and the others.
• Taishang predicted that Hongjun would defeat the courtyard’s owner, while Jieyin and Zhunti hoped their battle might break the formation and let them escape.
• Lin Tian furiously cursed Hongjun and threatened to kill him, shocking Taishang, the Two Sages of the West, Shen Gongbao, the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, and Yazi.
• A muffled impact sounded from the wooden hut, then the room went silent, leaving Taishang and the Two Sages of the West astonished.

He left Hongjun, Nuwa, Taishang, and the Two Sages of the West stunned as he challenged Hongjun to fight.

• Hongjun declared his authority as Heavenly Dao Hongjun and threatened Lin Tian, while Lin Tian mocked him and initially refused to believe his identity.
• The system confirmed Hongjun's identity and reminded Lin Tian that he had allowed him into the room without asking for details, then revealed that Lin Tian had a Great Dao Sage Experience Card.

• Lin Tian asked whether Hongjun wanted to fight and declared that even Heavenly Dao Hongjun was an ant before him, leaving Hongjun, Nuwa, Taishang, and the Two Sages of the West astonished.

Lin Tian faced Hongjun’s challenge and demonstrated that Hongjun’s Heavenly Dao power and Jade Disc of Creation could not threaten him. After Lin Tian effortlessly seized the treasure, Hongjun and Nuwa were left stunned by the gap in their strength.

• Taishang and the Two Sages of the West learned that Lin Tian was a Great Dao Sage, and Taishang feared they would be trapped if Hongjun lost.
• Hongjun overcame his initial shock, challenged Lin Tian, and proposed fighting in the Sea of Chaos, but Lin Tian insisted the courtyard was safe.

• Hongjun crashed through the door and courtyard formation before landing outside, while Nuwa realized he had been defeated.

Lin Tian overwhelmed Taishang and the Two Sages of the West, then attacked Hongjun and tried to kill him with the Jade Disc of Creation. When Hongjun’s Heavenly Dao power protected him from the disc, Lin Tian summoned the God-Slaying Spear and aimed it at Hongjun’s neck.
