King Mu Li led his army north, fled south after a defeat at Duzhou Mountain, and upon reaching Wushan, he met a hermit. He asked about the future, and the hermit answered: One should be like a mountain; the sun, moon, and rivers are free, and so should humans be.

Wushan.
The streets were filled with people dragging carts out of the city.
The chaos was beginning to be quelled.
The army entered the Great Capital, and within a few days, everything was stabilized. The rebellion of the five kings thus came to an end.
Supported by the Great Dao Teaching and other sects, King Dongping ascended the throne and proclaimed a general amnesty, establishing the Great Dao Teaching as the state religion.
