• Ayu kicked a fleeing Evil God back toward Jiang Ping'an and urged the others to attack, convincing them that Jiang Ping'an's wheel was not the Creation God Wheel.

Jiang Ping'an captured and killed most of the Extraterritorial Evil Gods, then decided to enter the Primal Beginning Realm through the World Rift rather than take the Path to Immortality. He planned to return to Great An Kingdom to say farewell to his family, but Saints soon asked him to help against the remaining enemies.

He accepted Great Emperor Lin Chaosheng as his disciple and taught him the Heart Force Secret Method, preparing him to defend the Great Barrens against future attacks.

• Jiang Ping'an told the Saints and the Demon Emperor that he had exhausted his strength, then discussed with Old Black how to protect his family fortune after leaving the Great Barrens.

• Jiang Ping'an encountered Nine Clouds on a Phoenix, and she said the Human Emperor had sent her to escort him to the Human Emperor Cave to ascend the throne.

• Nine Clouds witnessed the fight and was stunned that Jiang Ping'an had killed a Suanni comparable to a Human Race Profound Immortal in two punches.

After killing the Suanni, Jiang Ping'an gathered herbs in Unyielding Mountain with Nine Clouds and found a Thousand-Year Yellow Plum tree, sharing half its fruit with her. He gave Old Black ten plums to extend his life, and the group was returning to Human Emperor Cave when a group of hostile youths blocked their way.

• Jiang Ping'an returned to Unyielding Mountain after storing the Suanni's corpse, but the battle had driven away the beasts and birds, so he set off to gather herbs with Nine Clouds.
