At that time, Jidu had surrendered to Emperor Bai's command, impressively without informing the Heavenly Emperor. Intimidated by Emperor Bai's majesty, Xuanwu also did not dare to breathe a word about it, instead choosing to drink by himself when feeling gloomy, speaking drunkenly at length. It seems some clues were overheard by his subordinates, and from there, rumors began to spread.
As Emperor Bai had predicted, Jidu was invincible on the battlefield, with those Asuras who had once pushed Heaven to the brink of collapse unable to match him. Following the initial overwhelming victory, Emperor Bai was overjoyed and personally bestowed upon him the Golden Armor and Purple Cloud Helmet. He also took great effort to find rare materials from the Tianhe River to custom-make a treasure sword for the War God Jidu, named Ding Kun.
