Episode 22 recap: Wu Geng wants to form an alliance with the Demon Clan.
Dancing with the Wind discovered that A Lan had infiltrated the Demon Realm. She captured A Lan, and Wu Geng came to inquire about the matter. Later, Against the Heavens also apologized for the incident, admitting that they had not disciplined their subordinates strictly enough. Wu Geng believed that Against the Heavens truly had the intention of forming an alliance and would not tolerate their subordinates' suspicions and harm to his friends.
Xin Yue Kui learned that the Protoss had suppressed the Demon Clan for a hundred thousand years using the Flower of Dawn, and she also wanted to make good use of this flower. Currently, twelve out of the thirteen Demon Generals were under the command of Against the Heavens. Wu Geng asked Against the Heavens why they didn't make Extremely Vicious and Evil surrender. Against the Heavens explained that Extremely Vicious and Evil had a strong army and numerous followers. If they were to make a move against him, it would inevitably lead to a large-scale war.
In the past, Wu Geng's older brother, Vast Sky and Boundless Sea, had sought out the leaders of the thirteen tribes one by one for the future of the Demon Clan. Vast Sky and Boundless Sea defeated Extremely Vicious and Evil with absolute strength and, regardless of past grievances, brought him under his command, making Extremely Vicious and Evil one of the most fierce generals among the thirteen.
When Wu Geng's brother died because he went to the Protoss domain to steal flowers, Extremely Vicious and Evil knew revenge was futile and blamed Against the Heavens for the death of Vast Sky and Boundless Sea. This caused the Demon Realm to fall into chaos.
As the Grand Marshal of the Demon Clan, Against the Heavens promised Wu Geng that the Demon Clan would be his most loyal companions and comrades-in-arms. However, Wu Geng believed that if they wanted to achieve ultimate victory, they must strive to unite all available forces. Against the Heavens had long recognized that A Lan was a member of the Protoss Hidden Clan, but he also believed that although the Hidden Clan had defected from the Protoss, they were fundamentally still part of the Protoss. Both moral considerations and emotions made it impossible for the Demon Clan to accept them.
Against the Heavens found Mu Wu's expressionless face to examine the condition of his petrification disease. Mu Wu's expressionless face stated that even with the relief from the Fire Bodhi, Against the Heavens' petrification disease was more severe than imagined. The petrified areas had already penetrated the organs. Even if Mu Wu could support Against the Heavens until the day of the final assault, there was no guarantee that Against the Heavens would not fall on the battlefield.
A Lan followed and overheard the conversation between Against the Heavens and Mu Wu, and later Dancing with the Wind discovered A Lan's whereabouts. Dancing with the Wind discovered that A Lan was a member of the Protoss and questioned her intentions for infiltrating the Demon Clan. A Lan explained that she had no ill intentions towards the Demon Clan and had come for the sake of Wu Geng.
Dancing with the Wind did not believe A Lan's explanation. At this moment, the Dragon Tooth Warrior arrived to take A Lan away, but fortunately, Against the Heavens arrived in time to save the heavily injured A Lan. Against the Heavens took A Lan to the medical hall for treatment, and thanks to the timely arrival, Mu Wu managed to save A Lan.
Wu Geng hurriedly arrived and learned that A Lan had been injured by someone from Extremely Vicious and Evil's faction. Against the Heavens was willing to take responsibility for the incident and acknowledged that they had not disciplined their subordinates strictly enough. Against the Heavens explained that there was a deep-seated blood feud between the Demon Clan and the Protoss that spanned a hundred thousand years, and the Demon Clan people were unable to accept individuals from the Protoss all of a sudden. Wu Geng stated that the disaster of the Demon Clan was brought about by Hei Long and had nothing to do with the Protoss Hidden Clan and A Lan.
Wu Geng believed that trust was the most important aspect of forming an alliance, and currently, he couldn't trust the Demon Clan. Against the Heavens stated that they would only target Hei Long and assured Wu Geng that they would not harm their friends.
Wu Geng believed that in order to kill Hei Long, they must unite the forces of the Demon Clan, Human Clan, Protoss Hidden Clan, and all oppressed people in the world. He exposed the secret of the Flower of Dawn that Against the Heavens had concealed, and he did not agree with Against the Heavens' lies. He believed that no one in the Three Realms should live in falsehood. Xin Yue Kui instructed Zhui Ri to bring the Flower of Dawn, admiring the ruthlessness of the Protoss Eye and also wanting to provoke conflict using this flower.
Xin Yue Kui brought the Flower of Dawn to the Demon Realm and bestowed it upon Old Lai Tou, urging him to plant the flower in the Demon Realm and tempt him to use it to vie for control of the Demon Realm. Extremely Vicious and Evil instigated war, claiming that the Against the Heavens colluded with the Protoss. Against the Heavens also mobilized soldiers in preparation for the battle.
Upon learning that the war was caused by her identity as a member of the Protoss, A Lan could not stand by and went to intervene. On the battlefield, Against the Heavens informed Extremely Vicious and Evil that A Lan was not a malicious member of the Protoss but a victim oppressed by the Protoss, just like them. They had never abused the power of the Protoss and had no connection whatsoever with Hei Long's clan from ten thousand years ago.
Extremely Vicious and Evil refused to listen to the explanation, and the two sides were on the verge of a major conflict. Witnessing their people killing each other, Against the Heavens felt deep sorrow. Old Lai Tou planted the Flower of Dawn in the Demon Clan, and soon it spread rapidly, turning him into a petrified person as he suffered the consequences. Xin Yue Kui instructed Zhui Ri to use the power of the Protoss from the Myriad Realms to spread the pollen of the Flower of Dawn onto the battlefield, turning countless soldiers into petrified beings.
Wu Geng and A Lan rushed to the battlefield and used an invisible wall to protect the remaining people on the battlefield. At the same time, A Lan used her Protoss power to disperse the pollen of the Flower of Dawn that pervaded the battlefield. Due to A Lan's use of Protoss power, she was severely injured and coughed up blood.
Seeing that Wu Geng had disrupted her plans, Xin Yue Kui harbored intense hatred towards him. As a result, she used the power of the Empty Perception Realm Protoss to inform the people of the Demon Clan that the secret Against the Heavens had desperately guarded was that the Flower of Dawn was not a cure for petrification but the root cause of the Demon Clan's petrification disease.
