• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong emerged alone in a pure white space, where Soul Net Intelligence identified itself as Wu Tong's Soul Net System Main Terminal and began answering their questions.

The Soul Net Intelligence settled the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School’s rewards for its Demon Slayer World conquest and revealed the next target: the Peerless Tang Sect world. Ning Fengzhi suspected that a future Ning Rongrong and her companions had destroyed Spirit Hall, raising the prospect of a feud during the coming expedition.

• The Soul Net Intelligence explained the Settlement Space and confirmed that the disciples had returned to where they were before the expedition.
• The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School received thirty-one percent conquest progress, ranking second, and was awarded a Portable Secret Realm, two Adaptive God Positions, and 3,100 Conquest Points.
• The Soul Net Intelligence announced the second target as the Peerless Tang Sect world, with missions to destroy the Douluo God Realm and Shrek Academy, collect the gods’ positions, and subdue Huo Yuhao; the expedition would begin in three months.

• Spirit Hall’s Settlement Space erupted in panic after its members saw the next mission world.

• Dugu Bo told Dugu Xin to focus on battle achievements and rely on Yan Yan’s success and their relationship with Wu Tong, then knocked Dugu Xin on the forehead for wanting to throw his weight around.

Dugu Bo left to cultivate and entrusted the next World Conquest to Dugu Xin and Yue Er, who used a Resurrection Coin to bring Yue Er back. Meanwhile, Wu Tong collected the conquered Demon Slayer World and completed a DanMachi-compatible training cheat, only for the recovered Innate Slaughter System to call it trash.

• Dugu Bo refused the God Position, said he planned to become a god during the next three months, and left Dugu Xin in charge of the next World Conquest with Yue Er.

• The recovered Innate Slaughter System appeared beside Wu Tong and called his completed cheat trash.

• Loki opened the door still groggy, then stopped complaining when she saw Ais.
