• Chu Qing ignored Second Generation Moon God and Bi Luo's warning about the pavilion and said he would reach its control core because the secret realm belonged to his friend.
• Inside the pavilion, Chu Qing saw Liuli's illusory figure tell him to challenge history's path, declare that she was giving him the residence, and warn that he had to pass two trials; her image then vanished.
• The Earth Fire, Wind Water millstones descended, and Chu Qing chose to withstand their crushing forces instead of using the escape route Moon God and Bi Luo had described.

The overlords investigated the mysterious death of Shangguan Shen, and Dongfang Shuo warned them that Chu Qing had arrived.
