Pangu and Xu Yuan negotiated over access to the Source Realm of Myriad Daos, settling on three spots for the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot and five remaining spots for the Eternal Dao Realm. Eight cultivators entered, and both sides waited tensely for their return, knowing the balance of the Chaos Sea war would depend on who emerged stronger.
