Wang Rui recognized that the Dragon City legends about the Dragon God and his children had become wildly distorted, but kept his objections to himself.

• Ice Empress insisted that Snow Empress deserved immortality more than she did and offered to sacrifice herself to help Huo Yuqing become a god.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took a soul bone from Huo Yuqing's soul tool pouch, and its powerful pulse made her heartbeat race until her Spirit Eyes martial soul manifested.
• The Ice Empress recognized the pale pink, eleven-segment scorpion tail as an External Soul Bone, and Wang Rui said it came from a soul beast that had become functionally extinct ten thousand years earlier.
