He left the inheritance site with the two unconscious women, planning to seek the Tian Meng’s Sacrifice and return.

• Li Chang'an used his Auspicious Ominous Eyes to understand that the Far North inheritance belonged to the fallen Ice God, a Beast God whose mechanism excluded beast races from inheritance.
