• Marbas ordered his troops to charge Hai Lan Pass before the seal ended.
• Long Fan called for his Italy Cannon and readied the gunners for a final gamble.

• The stacked golden spheres erupted into a forbidden spell and collided with the charging Hell Descent.

• Ling Xiao said the Demon Race might have attacked because the Star Sea Saint Hall was expected to open within the month.
• Deep Blue told Long Fan to chant “Tortoise Zero, Tortoise Zero, Return to Zero” while rolling to waive the Death Curse’s cost, but Long Fan refused to say the slogan aloud.
• Long Fan rolled “Heal” three times and grew confident in the die as Li Zhengzhi, Han Qian, Ying Sui Feng, the Weak Water Cardinal, and Granny San Shui became distracted by his handsome face.

Long Fan observed the Alliance decide to negotiate a truce with the Demon Race and share access to the Star Sea Saint Hall, then received a strange azure bead from Yang Haoyu. Back at his lodgings with Caier, he opened the jade box and uncovered a blue hide scroll that resonated with his Eternal Melody pendant.

• Long Fan stopped using the Fate Dice after it revealed a golden sign bearing the character for death, then paid attention as Yang Haoyu explained how the Star Demon God had learned about the Star Sea Saint Hall.
• Old Ling proposed offering the Demon Race a limited number of entry slots to avert a costly battle, and Yang Haoyu supported the plan, citing the Hall's dangers and its treasures' bias toward human attributes.

• Yang Haoyu gave Long Fan a translucent azure bead to help him explore the Star Sea Saint Hall, and Long Fan accepted it gratefully.
• Long Fan returned to his lodgings, embraced Caier, and opened the jade box he had acquired at auction; a blue hide scroll emerged as his Eternal Melody pendant began to hum and tremble.

At Hai Lan Pass, Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, and Long Fan entered the selection competition for the Star Sea Saint Hall, where hundreds of powerful contestants had gathered.
