Luo Shen took the throne, aware that the city’s leaders supported him because of his strength and Number One’s presence.

• Di Chu-Yu offered to recommend Luo Shen as a guest elder of the Di Chu lineage after Luo Shen became a Chaos Ruler, but admitted that he first needed to reach that realm himself.

Di Chu-Yu urged Luo Shen not to tie his future to Yu Kingdom, then left after trying to win him over for a possible role once they became Chaos Rulers. Traveling toward Chao Yong Lake, Luo Shen was attacked by an Eternal True God exotic beast, Ju Mang, which promptly offered itself as his disciple and left him unsure how to respond.

• Di Chu-Yu warned Luo Shen that Yu Kingdom was small in the wider Origin Continent and said he would discuss useful arrangements after they entered the Chaos Realm of the law lineage.
• Luo Shen exchanged his cultivation resources with Zi Yu, left Yan Feng Guild Hall, and set out for Chao Yong Lake in his Golden Pagoda.
• Luo Shen reflected on the great cost of advancing the Method of Melting and Refining and on the danger of provoking the Shi Kingdom ruler while ancient-kingdom backing remained uncertain.
• An Eternal True God exotic beast named Ju Mang attacked Luo Shen, then knelt, removed its defenses, and begged him to accept it as a disciple.
• Luo Shen questioned Ju Mang about its request, but it only repeated its plea, so he told it to get up first.

Luo Shen learned that Ju Mang had possessed an Original Universe and sought his help against a Sector Beast crisis, but Ju Mang’s real lead was the Cosmic Worm Chi in Luo Shen’s Primordial Universe. Ju Mang hoped to use a secret technique to command it, while Luo Shen decided to keep his Abyss Clone hidden.

• Luo Shen touched Ju Mang’s Ethereal Divine Power and learned that Ju Mang had possessed an Original Universe and was seeking a master to help save it from a Sector Beast crisis.
• Luo Shen explained that returning from the Origin Continent to Ju Mang’s Universe Sea would be difficult, but Ju Mang pointed toward Luo Shen’s dantian, where he kept the Primordial Universe and Sector Beast world.
• Luo Shen released his Abyss Clone, and Ju Mang immediately begged it for help, making Luo Shen worry that Original Universe possessors might detect his World Beast King.
• Luo Shen learned that Ju Mang had actually been drawn by the Cosmic Worm Chi’s aura and had mistaken the Abyss Clone for it, so he resolved not to reveal the clone casually.
• The Abyss Clone asked whether Ju Mang planned to command the Cosmic Worm Chi against the Sector Beasts, and Ju Mang confirmed he intended to use a secret technique because the Supreme Rule restricted his use of his Original Universe’s power.

Luo Shen accepted Ju Mang as his seventh disciple, taught him the Divine Eye Secret Technique, and gave him Cosmic Worm Chi to help confront the Sector Beast crisis. He continued toward Chao Yong Lake, unsettled by the lack of fighting in Jiujiang Chaos Province, and arrived at the lake where Cold Current Spirits gathered.

• Ju Mang swore a soul oath to follow Luo Shen if he helped resolve the Sector Beast crisis, and Luo Shen accepted him as his seventh disciple.
• Luo Shen taught Ju Mang the Divine Eye Secret Technique and gave him Cosmic Worm Chi; Ju Mang revealed that he had already mastered the first seven volumes.
• Ju Mang entered seclusion to cultivate the final two volumes while Luo Shen continued toward Chao Yong Lake in the Golden Pagoda.
• Luo Shen worried that Marquis Jiujiang might have been captured because the journey through Jiujiang Chaos Province had been strangely peaceful, but he continued toward the lake to bring Chao Yong back to Huyang City.
• Luo Shen arrived above Chao Yong Lake and saw the dark blue chill rising from its waters, where Cold Current Spirits drifted and could gather against intruders.
