Emperor Gou Chen, besieged by three assailants, had no choice but to shatter his destiny and exit the Ancient Battlefield, forsaking the contest for the title of Green Emperor.
Yet upon his departure, the secrets of the Ancient Battlefield were wiped clean from his memory, including everything about the Chaos Heaven Demon, which was likely the handiwork of the Green Emperor. This news, however, was not to be leaked, so much so that even Saints refrained from speaking of it—probably due to fears that it would sow terror and chaos in the Three Realms or that some might harbor ulterior motives.
Emperor Gou Chen then instructed two of his subordinate Taiyi Golden Immortals to continue their covert operations in the Southern Ridge Demon Mountain, while he himself ascended to the Heavenly Court to report back to the Jade Emperor.
