• Shi Qingning said destroying the passage could avert heavy losses and urged the others to seize the initiative.

Lu Chuan planned to leave the Myriad Star Realm rather than face the incoming Foreign Race armies, but Shi Qingning persuaded him to bargain for resources instead of refusing outright.

• Lu Chuan stopped the Combat Command Headquarters officials at the passage after the Demon Suppressing Army had withdrawn and demanded that they hand over their spirit medicines, treasures, and other resources.
• A plump official denied having the mission items and warned Lu Chuan against forcing them, so Lu Chuan killed him with a single blow.
• Lu Chuan told the remaining officials to choose between surrendering the resources and risking their lives, dismissing their warnings about punishment from the Demon Suppressing Division.
• Lu Chuan resolved to seize the resources from the powerful figures who had opened the Myriad Star Realm, knowing his conflict with them had become irreconcilable.
