The Formation Daoists found the formation incomplete and began working to open a breach while people inside Ke Province faced its deadly effects.

• King Chai Ning led thousands of Chu Kingdom battleships carrying tens of millions of soldiers toward Ke Province after scouts detected a powerful surge of energy.
