The White Spirit Evil Lord chose to retrieve the two Evil God Relics rather than save Zang Ling, while Chu Xinghe protected Wu Man from the crushing Four Continents Barrier. As Zang Ling faced death in the passage, Chu Xinghe grabbed him and insisted that he return to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to face punishment under its rules.

• Chu Xinghe directed the Flame Main God Divinity to protect Wu Man and Zang Ling, then sent them through the storm while he crossed it using Suspended Shears.
