• A pale yellow beam pierced the Blacksmith Association ceiling and entered Luo Chen, marking him with a crossed knife-and-fork symbol and revealing that he had received a divine inheritance.

The Food God and Nine-Colored Goddess bestowed their godhood inheritances upon Luo Chen and Feng Xiaoyu, then negotiated with the Wind God Godhood Spirit to let Feng Xiaoyu become a dual-godhood deity.

• Xue Youyou used the Ice God’s divine power to compress her Soul Power, reached level eighty, and climbed to the fortieth step before the pressure pinned her down.

• Gu Chen activated the array diagram and summoned its one hundred and eight talismans, forcing Abyss creatures back and beginning to stitch the rift shut.
• Gu Chen exhausted his Soul Power and spat blood, while eighty-one magical artifacts still remained to be deployed.
