Back in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Lu Li gathered information about the Eight Greed Kings and received a report from his Guardians about the Council State.

• Lu Li accepted the Godslayer Spear in place of an Inheritance Crystal and told Ape's Fire to persuade Ancient Wilderness Space's Explorers to sign contracts and pay him.
• From a tower in a higher dimension, Lanke ruled that Lu Li's demands did not break Spirit Void Hall's regulations because he had already secured victory, while a young girl discovered she lacked authority to inspect Prison Demon.

• Lu Li received an S+ evaluation, advanced to level 53, and chose attribute points, Inheritance Crystals, title advancement permission, a World-class Item Choice Chest, and a Doomsday Piercer.

Lu Li sold several pieces of equipment to ease his debts, then paid Chuchu to process his alloy before reinforcing his God-King Bloodline. The upgrades unlocked two powerful abilities, but after balancing his attributes, he realized his Unrivaled Title was about to expire and his dominance at his tier might end.

• Ape's Fire reluctantly praised Prison Demon in the group chat, while Lu Li listed old equipment for sale and Mimosa arranged to buy his Bloodfiend Set in person.

Lu Li claimed Fat Dragon’s Sky Road event reward, a Celestial-Grade Soul Essence Stone that could temper Soul Intent, and shared its details with the group. After agreeing to hold off on climbing so the other members could claim rewards, he tested the stone and entered the Sixth Order arena, where his first opponent’s shield shattered under a casual strike.

He headed to Chuchu to collect his newly forged mythical equipment, having paid off his debt to End Space with the proceeds from their alloy.

• Lu Li went to collect his custom equipment from Chuchu after selling their alloy for eight million Doomsday Coins and paying off his debt to End Space.
