After Haotian Shangdi’s defeat, Ye Xuan faced the Saints and fought Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti over the Primordial World’s treasures. Hongjun arrived and admitted to several ancient schemes as Ye Xuan laid out his accusations and demanded a response.

• Jiang Ziya died from Huang Xian’s curse but was revived by Yuanshi Tianzun, while Zhu Ganglie killed five Western Zhou generals through feigned weakness.
• The Twelve Golden Immortals joined Jiang Ziya, and Kong Xuan defeated King Yinshi before Haotian Shangdi intervened and Ye Xuan arrived.
• Ye Xuan pinned Haotian Shangdi in midair and forced him to kneel, then rejected Saint Zhunti’s and Yuanshi Tianzun’s demands to release him and surrender treasures.
• Ye Xuan wounded Yuanshi Tianzun and resisted the Saints’ attacks with the Xuanyuan Sword, Kongtong Seal, and help from the Nine Provinces Cauldrons and Nuwa.
• Taishang Laozi and Sect Master Tongtian joined the confrontation, and the Saints prepared to fight until Heavenly Dao Hongjun sealed their powers and descended.
• Ye Xuan accused Hongjun of plotting Pangu’s death, manipulating the Fierce Beast Tribulation, and secretly devouring Shen Ni, and Hongjun admitted the charges.
• Ye Xuan accused Hongjun of engineering the Dragon-Han Calamity, attacking Great Immortal Yang Mei, devouring Luohu, limiting the number of Saints, and preventing Nuwa from becoming a Human Dao Saint, and Hongjun acknowledged the accusations.
• Ye Xuan accused Hongjun of engineering the Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, then recited all eight crimes and demanded his answer.
