At Chennan Pass, Miao Su briefed the reinforcements on how the Heavenly God Temple’s Mother Beasts used the God War’s casualties to spawn giant beasts and divert the Great Xia Gods. After the defenders killed a Klein-level Giant Snake, a huge herd with two divine beasts approached, and eight black-cloaked figures appeared, whom Miao Su recognized as Spirit Mediums thought to have died in battle.

Lin Qiye returned to the Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods to rest before heading back to war, where he learned it was Li Yifei’s birthday and heard his wish to live an ordinary life.
