Traveling through the primordial flood, Li Chang'an becomes the chief senior disciple of the Jie Sect, facing the mortal crisis of the Conferment of Gods calamity upon awakening. Knowing the ending of the Jie Sect's destruction, he seeks only prudence, hiding on Mount Jin'ao and ordering the Myriad Immortals to close their doors and avoid the calamity. When Tongtian returns, he is unexpectedly mistaken for an imposter and surrounded by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation; Yuanshi and Zhunti come to break the formation, only to be toyed with by thousands of avatars and interlocking formations, while Landeng and Xuandu are sent into Taoyuan to farm. The Six Saints hold the heavenly decree to force him into the game, believing they have won a sure victory, but unexpectedly Li Chang'an breaks through to become a sage in the chaos, and the Twin Saints of the Jie Sect appear in the world, disrupting the grand game of the Conferment of Gods, as the crisis of the sages' fall quietly arrives.
