After recovering from his injuries, Gu Ce tested the Flame Melting Pool and fused it with his Water-Space Sacred Flame, turning it into a powerful top-tier domain Heavy Treasure. He then investigated Ice Desolation World Lord's account, but Iron Bone King's account of repaying an old debt did not reveal what had happened to Luo Nie.

Gu Ce followed Iron Bone King’s lead to Mubo Planet, where he learned about Ice Desolation World Lord’s past and traced his history to a battlefield in the Silver Blue Empire.
