Guiling led Holy Mother Jinling and the Three Xiaos through Avici Hell toward coordinates Sage Pingxin had given her, enduring a crushing force in the void beyond it. Ao Changsheng revealed that Pingxin’s coordinates led directly to the center of reincarnation, where he could grant Guiling a share of the Authority of Reincarnation, while Jinling and the Three Xiaos might gain a brief glimpse of the forbidden realm.

• Holy Mother Jinling explained that Avici Hell confined souls forever, and the Three Xiaos grew fearful when they learned it could imprison even Daluo Golden Immortals.

He urged Jinling to seek their sliver of hope, and she returned to the Primordial World to wait for Guiling while pondering what it might be.

• Cult Master Tongtian recalled the Investiture of the Gods and summoned Jinling to discuss its threat to the star gods.
• Cult Master Tongtian explained that nearly three hundred of the 365 Orthodox God positions were for star gods, and Jinling feared the appointments would strip the star gods of their chance to emerge.

Fuxi then divined the calamity's connection to Shang's fall and Zhou's rise, discovered an opportunity for his own breakthrough, and called for careful planning.

• A strange wind lifted the curtains before Nüwa’s statue, and Di Xin, his eyes flickering with silvery light, wrote a poem expressing his desire to take her as his consort.

Nüwa decreed that Yin Shang would fall in Di Xin’s generation, and Caiyun Tongzi summoned three demons and ordered them to enter the palace and lead the king astray. At the Fire Cloud Cave, the Human Emperors discovered that Daoist Zhunti had bewitched Di Xin, though they still condemned the king for failing to resist.

• Nüwa declared that Yin Shang would perish in Di Xin’s generation, ending the fortune black bird’s ability to pass on its legacy.
• Caiyun Tongzi summoned the nine-tailed fox spirit, the nine-headed pheasant spirit, and the jade pipa spirit, then ordered them to enter the palace and lead the king astray without harming the people.
• Caiyun Tongzi concealed the three demons’ forms, and the nine-tailed fox spirit welcomed the others as sisters while seeing the mission as a chance to gain power.
• The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors watched a Round Light Mirror replay of Di Xin’s actions at Nüwa Palace and saw Daoist Zhunti’s strange wind bewitch him.
• Zhuanxu and the other Human Emperors judged that Di Xin’s weak Dao heart had kept him from resisting Zhunti, and they refused to acknowledge him as their Human King.

Daoist Zhunti used a mind-bewitching Divine Ability on Di Xin at Nüwa Palace, prompting him to write a provocative poem, while Ao Changsheng secretly recorded Zhunti’s involvement and sent the evidence to Fuxi. At Chentang Pass, Li Jing’s third son was born after forty-two months in the womb, and Li Jing named the gifted child Li Nezha.

• Daoist Zhunti went to the Human Race and used a strange wind to bewitch Di Xin as he offered incense at Nüwa Palace.

• Li Jing told Taiyi that his sons Jinzha and Muzha were disciples of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian.
• Taiyi realized the spirit light was inside Nezha and, believing Li Jing's family was destined for the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, asked to take Nezha as his disciple.
• Li Jing agreed, then revealed Nezha had spent three years and six months in the womb; Taiyi explained that long gestation could give Human Race children exceptional talent.
• Taiyi gave Nezha the Universe Ring and Heaven-Chaos Sash, then flew to Mount Kunlun to consult Celestial Venerable Yuanshi about the spirit light.

Ao Changsheng prepared nascent Great Thousand Worlds for the Primordial World's eventual destruction while his Water Dao body slowly ground down a captured Chaos Demon God in the Water Dragon World. As Ao Changsheng studied the captive, an old acquaintance appeared outside the world.

• Ao Changsheng observed Nezha's innate indestructible spirit light, then left Chentang Pass to prepare for the coming calamity and create nascent Great Thousand Worlds.
• Ao Changsheng suspected Hongjun had arranged their deal to keep him occupied when the Primordial World shattered, and looked forward to seeing Hongjun's plans unfold.
