At a secret meeting, Ming Yuerong proposed a network to restrain and protect high-level Otherworldly Users after Qu Weijiang’s incident, and Director An presented the plan to the Patrol Division.

Wenren Sheng read the Patrol Division’s research on Soul Reincarnation and learned that most attempts to cultivate immortality had produced monsters or failed. The materials described a rare method of imprinting consciousness onto an Otherworldly User, and Wenren Sheng realized it might explain the Immortal’s existence—and suit him as well.

• Wenren Sheng reflected that the Supervisory Department’s plan to restrain powerful individuals through Otherworldly Users would likely fail because its members could not adapt their system to changed material conditions.

• Wenren Sheng learned that attempts to cultivate immortality by merging human consciousness with Mysterious Power had corrupted people into monsters, while a later school’s effort to imprint consciousness onto Otherworldly Users had proved extremely difficult.
• Wenren Sheng recognized that the rare person capable of transferring consciousness and memories through an Otherworldly User might be the Immortal, and concluded that the method could be tailor-made for him.

Wang Mingtang pressured Ji Zhengyan into helping him become a god by revealing that Ji Zhengyan had unknowingly fathered a child who died alongside the child’s mother. Ji Zhengyan agreed to the bargain to revive them, then discovered the severed hand Wang Mingtang had shown him was fake; Wang Mingtang planned to return in three days.

Aihandebu refused the white-robed men’s human sacrifices, then offered to release the captives if they could prove themselves clever. One female student won her freedom by offering the white-robed men as a future sacrifice, but her teacher and classmates remained with Aihandebu until she could capture them herself.

• Suoke ordered Luoer to bring a bound old man and his students to the pit as sacrifices, but Aihandebu said it did not eat people and had no wish to make a deal.

A week later, the woman was brought to Wenren Sheng’s villa, where he recognized the attempt to pressure him into treating her and called the Patrol Division to take her away for investigation.

• Meng Liangcheng realized that changing official records would not erase people's belief that he was dead, but he decided he had to reclaim the money his relatives had taken.
