Youchao used the Settled Abode Way to imprison and isolate the chaos giant beasts, while Suiren’s Kindling Flame Curtain burned and transformed them. Their complementary defenses slowed the beast tide as Youchao’s prisons steadily weakened their captives.

• Suiren maintained the Kindling Flame Curtain, burning chaos giant beasts and feeding their law energy into the Great Desolation World's ascension.
