The Pangu evil thoughts, formed by the essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, opened its maw and swallowed half of the East Sea. As Sun Wukong revealed his Chaotic Demonic Ape True Form, his fangs sinking into the creature's neck, he tasted the damp, earthy scent of Flower-Fruit Mountain—this monstrosity had been nourished by the resentment of the Four Great Continents!
Nezha cast the Spirit Pearl high into the air, and within its radiance, the scene of Nuwa molding clay into humanity emerged. The Universal Heaven Ribbon suddenly unraveled into three thousand red dust threads, binding the creature’s limbs. Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye pierced through the creature’s core, revealing the countless souls of the Primordial World's races suppressed within.
"Now!" The three of them drove their weapons into the heart of the evil thoughts simultaneously. The Yu King inscription on the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire on the tip of the Fire-Tip Spear, and the Empress Nüwa blood jade on the edge of the Three-pointed Double-edged Blade intertwined, giving birth to a Chaos Green Lotus. As the Lotus Platform bloomed, the phantom of the Ancestor Hongjun descended from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"You dare..." Hongjun’s roar was purified by the fragrance of the lotus, revealing his true form—he was an extraterrestrial heart-demon parasitic upon the Heavenly Dao! The roots of the Green Lotus pierced his chest, pulling out countless black threads, each one connected to a shackled god or buddha.
Nezha suddenly realized, "So the Investiture of the Gods was merely your tentacle!" The Fire-Tip Spear ignited the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which raced along the threads to incinerate the gods and buddhas of the heavens. Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang churned the waters of the lotus pool, washing away the demonic seeds within the divine beings. Yang Jian refined his Heavenly Eye into a lotus seed, and with a flick of his finger, the seed transformed into a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers—their souls cleansed and reshaped using the waters of Yaochi!
Hongjun’s body began to disintegrate, exposing the truth of the Primordial World at its core: the so-called Tribulation was nothing more than a cycle of the heart-demon devouring the Heavenly Dao. The Chaos Green Lotus suddenly closed, sealing the heart-demon away completely. Upon the lotus platform appeared three thousand Great Daos, each Dao Pattern written by an awakened soul.
The petals of the Green Lotus suddenly transformed into a firmament, reflecting the scene of the creation of the world—the moment the Pangu Axe cleaved the chaos, a black shadow had seized the chance to burrow into his brow! Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye throbbed with sudden pain as memories of his past life flooded back: he was the manifestation of Pangu’s final glimmer of clarity. Within the core of Nezha’s Spirit Pearl emerged the image of the Mending Heaven Stone; the missing Five-Colored Stone held the sealed, lingering will of Nuwa fighting against the heart-demon. Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly softened, and upon its surface appeared the image of Dayu’s final moments: the Holy King of humanity had not carved his flood-control achievements into the staff with his lifeblood, but the two characters "Slay Heaven"! The roots of the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly pierced into the East Sea, lifting the entire Dragon Palace—beneath the foundations of the palace lay a God-Binding Net woven from the love-threads of Yaoji...
The moment the roots of the Chaos Green Lotus struck the East Sea, the foundation of the entire Dragon Palace surged upward. The lifted palace complex revealed a dense layer of silver threads beneath—the God-Binding Net woven from Yaoji’s love-threads, which held the twelve skeletal remains of the Golden Crows! Within the eye sockets of each skeleton, blood-red flames danced, reflecting the scene of Houyi shooting the suns: the essence of the nine Golden Crows who fell in those days had been secretly forged by the Jade Emperor into shackles for the Heavenly Dao.
"So this is the true Zhou Tian Star Formation!" Blood and tears streamed from Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye as memories of his past life broke through like a levee. He saw that when Pangu swung his axe to cleave the chaos, the black shadow that burrowed into his brow had split into three thousand heart-demon seeds—and the most powerful among them was Hongjun!
Nezha’s Spirit Pearl suddenly erupted with blinding light, and within the phantom of the missing Five-Colored Stone, the lingering will of Nuwa transformed into seven-colored streams of light. These streams entwined with the roots of the Green Lotus, sketching a massive formation map on the floor of the East Sea—at the center of the formation, the three incarnations of Nuwa’s severed corpses were suppressed: the Kind Corpse had become the Mending Heaven Stone, the Evil Corpse had condensed into the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the Self Corpse had been forged into the Investiture of the Gods!
Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly emitted a dragon’s roar, and dark gold blood seeped from the characters "Slay Heaven" on the staff. The image of Dayu’s final moments appeared clearly: the Holy King of humanity had not died from flood control, but had been obliterated by nine bolts of Heavenly Dao lightning at the peak of Longmen Mountain. As he lay dying, he used a severed finger to carve a blood curse into the Sea-Pacifying Divine Needle, turning his life’s cultivation into a seed to defy the Heavenly Dao.
"Old friend, so you’ve been waiting for this day!" The Monkey bit his tongue until it bled, spitting his life-essence blood to stain the staff. The Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly softened and reshaped, transforming into an Heaven-Opening Axe wrapped in chaotic energy—it was the missing spirit-artifact of the Pangu Axe! As the blade struck toward Hongjun, the chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens suddenly tore open, revealing the sealed stars of the Primordial World. Each star was connected to a black thread, the other end of which was tied to the primordial spirit of every god and buddha in the heavens.
"No, he is draining the source of the stars!" Yang Jian’s Three-pointed Double-edged Blade suddenly split into thousands, the blade shadows forming the He-Luo Formation. Within the formation, the vision of the North Pole Ziwei enclosure appeared, and the enslaved souls of the star lords wailed. Nezha’s Universal Heaven Ribbon seized the opportunity to wrap around the three hundred and sixty-five primary stars, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire spread along the star trails, burning the black threads to ash. Deprived of its power source, Hongjun’s remnant body suddenly swelled, and countless faces of agony bulged beneath his skin—those were all the primordial gods and demons who had fallen throughout the various Tribulations!
The petals of the Green Lotus suddenly peeled away, cascading down like a golden downpour. Each drop of golden rain contained an awakened soul; they recast their physical bodies in the rain, forming the ancient Myriad Immortals Formation to surround Hongjun. The leader who stepped out of the formation shocked Yuanshi Tianzun to his very soul—it was none other than Donghuang Taiyi, who had long since vanished! The ancient Demon Emperor held a fragment of the Chaos Bell, and the chime of the bell shattered the final core of Hongjun’s heart-demon.
Silence fell between the sea and the sky, and from the seed pod of the Green Lotus rose a sphere of chaotic light. Emerging from that radiance was neither the Heavenly Dao nor the heart-demon, but the original Chaos Green Lotus seed that had nurtured Pangu! Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the seed, and a voice, young yet majestic, drifted out: "This game... you have won."
