After sending Bai Xiaoxiao, Lin Duo, A Ning, and the others away aboard the Void Sword Ark, Lin Bai left the Dragon River to draw the Giant God Race after him. Cloud Dragon caught up with him in Eastern Continent and crushed him, leaving Lin Bai gravely wounded and apparently unable to resist.

Lin Bai fled into the Chaotic Void on his Giant God Avatar, but Gong Jun and fifteen Giant Gods pursued him and trapped him with the World Sealing Formation. After Lin Bai broke through the formation, the Giant Gods nearly destroyed his avatar, leaving him close to death as Li Shanqing begged the Slovenly Daoist to save him.

As the Giant Gods continued to cripple Lin Bai’s avatar, Lin Bai entered his consciousness and faced Xuantong, who asked whether they could still win.

• Slovenly Daoist told Li Shanqing and Leng Nuan that he had protected Lin Bai’s relatives and friends with medicinal wine but had not been ordered to save Lin Bai.

Lin Bai prepared to die at the hands of the Giant God Race and used the Demon Sword to separate Profound Eyes from himself, sending him into the void to seek a new life. As fifteen Giant Gods moved to extract Lin Bai’s blood and refine his bones, Lin Bai began to self-detonate.

• Lin Bai told Profound Eyes he would not ask Ling Tianzi for help and explained that he wanted to free Profound Eyes before dying.
