• Ling Yao criticized Wan Guiyuan and the Yuan Cultivation Society, but Wan Guiyuan subdued Ji Wushuang, thanked Ling Yao and Night, and left through a Space Rift with Ji Wushuang and Zhuge Yan.

• Ling Yao told Luo Jun that the technique could erase flesh and impair the body's ability to generate Vital Energy, and Luo Jun began restoring his power by circulating it in reverse.

• Luo Jun summoned Midnight and asked whether his condition might result from a fragment of the Saints’ cultivation method.
• Midnight could not verify the technique but explained that Saints’ breakthroughs exhausted their Vital Energy and caused their bodies to collapse, making each attempt a trial of life and death.

Luo Jun learned from Midnight that the worlds had once been parts of a single realm ruled by thirteen True Gods, and that the Main World had been a God Forsaken Land where divine rules did not bind its people. Midnight suspected the newly opened Doors signaled a major event, but she did not know what it was, and she ended by teasing Luo Jun.

• Luo Jun asked Midnight about Holy Father Dias and Karruth, and she revealed that they had belonged to the Ascension Alliance and helped besiege the Last Saint for his mysterious inheritance.

• Midnight explained that the Different Worlds had split from one world ruled by True Gods, and that the Gods’ relics had once opened Doors between their Divine Kingdoms.
• Midnight revealed that the worlds had later been sealed and that the Main World, once called the God Forsaken Land, had been a neutral refuge for people who escaped the Gods’ rule.
• Midnight said the Main World’s diverse cultivation talents and newly opened Doors might be signs of a coming upheaval, though she did not know what was coming.
• Midnight declined to visit the nearby Paranormal Door for now, then moved close to Luo Jun and teasingly asked whether he wanted to taste Older Sister.

Luo Jun received a Golden Core formed from Midnight’s incarnation and decided to hide while he recovered from the Saint Technique’s dangerous cultivation process. After meeting Old Yuan, he asked his master to secure him a place in the Heavenly Origin Tournament and conceal his absence during two months of closed-door cultivation.
