However, an unintentional act during the campaign releases the seal imprisoning a fox spirit within the Xuan Yuan Tomb. This spirit possesses Su Hu's daughter, Daji, and is presented to the king and the prince. During a fateful night banquet, the elder prince loses control and commits patricide. Subsequently, Yin Shou ascends the throne, only to be driven to make the decision of self-immolation to appease the mounting supernatural disasters.

Meanwhile, Kunlun Immortal Jiang Ziya embarks on a quest with the Chronicles of Gods, seeking the one destined to save the world from its turmoil. During his stay in Chaoge, he gradually perceives Yin Shou's cruelty, prompting him to hastily depart. Simultaneously, Prince Yin Jiao, who once regarded Yin Shou as a just ruler, and the Western Duke, Qizi Ji, also begin to uncover the king's ambitions and the enigmatic nature of Daji.
