The Celestial Emperor fell in the war between immortals and demons. The Celestial Empress rescued the gravely wounded Changxun and, to restore his primordial spirit, used the Celestial Emperor's blood essence and immortal peaches to nurture Taoyao's divine soul. Unable to bear the cost, the empress went into seclusion to seek another way. Changxun took charge of the Xi Kingdom, then, after a small state betrayed and tried to assassinate him, went to Wanqiu to recover. Rumors spread that Taoyao was his child bride, but Changxun treated her like a younger sister and even chose talented young men to train with her. Changxun's strength grew dramatically after he entered the Wind Vortex. Shuao awakened memories of his past life and was left with regrets about his relationship with Yao. After a demon star fell, a rare treasure appeared, drawing the new Celestial Emperor's covetous gaze. When the Guixu underwent a sudden change, the Demon Lord Yuan Huang led his army into the Great Wilderness, and the Celestial Emperor ordered Changxun to fight. At last, Changxun's army reached Yang City. When he removed his mask, everyone was stunned to discover that this “Changxun” was actually Taoyao.
