• Houtu left the Witch Clan’s tribe and hurried to the Snail Emperor Palace.

• Houtu rushed to Empress Wa Palace, prompting the remaining Ancestral Witches to fear that their clan’s great calamity had arrived, but Dijiang urged them to face it together.

Lin Yunji appointed the Witch Clan to govern the Netherworld, bringing order and earning the clan abundant merit. He then warned Houtu and the others that the Netherworld remained incomplete because some irredeemably evil souls could not be punished or reformed by its existing hells.

• Lin Yunji appointed Gonggong King Songdi and Xuanming King Zhuanlun, and gave the Ancestral Witches authority to appoint subordinate underworld gods.
• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches assigned Witch Clan members to duties including judging souls, administering punishments, capturing wandering ghosts, and helping with reincarnation.
• The Netherworld’s improvement caused the Primordial World to advance, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit on Lin Yunji, Houtu, and the Witch Clan.
• The Witch Clan began sorting souls: the good were sent to rebirth, while the wicked were punished before reincarnating; some Witch Clan women became Meng Pos and made Meng Po Soup.
• In Empress Wa Palace, Lin Yunji told Houtu, Changxi, and Yunxiao that the Netherworld was not yet fully perfected because some souls were too evil for its existing hells to contain or reform.

Lin Yunji discussed how to deal with beings whose evil thoughts could not be cleansed, suggesting that an opportunity would reveal the answer. After the Witch Clan withdrew to the Netherworld, the Demon Race reclaimed its strength while the Human Race rose and began settling the abandoned territories.

• Bixiao, Qiongxiao, Xihe, and Houtu debated whether to kill, imprison, or otherwise deal with beings whose evil thoughts were deeply rooted, and Lin Yunji said the time had not yet come to explain his solution.

• Youchaoshi, Ziyishi, and Suirenshi became Daluo Golden Immortals, and the Human Race's experts grew rapidly in number.
• The Human Race left its original homeland and began settling some of the territory the Witch Clan had abandoned.
