Luo Jun faced Jin Fei in the tournament and used his fishing rod to summon a Bloodthirsty Gorgon, even as Jin Fei disabled the Rampage Mech with an EMP bomb.

As Wu Feng and Taimu prepared to fight, Luo Jun predicted Wu Feng would win and hinted that Ling Yao might share Ling Xin’s powerful innate ability.

• Jin Fei used a spring-like Gang Qi technique to sever two of the Bloodthirsty Gorgon’s arms and then kill it, but the Gorgon petrified him with a curse as she died.

• The host declared Luo Jun the winner and the seventh contestant to advance to the top eight, and Jin Fei encouraged him to keep pursuing the championship.

• Ling Yao reacted to Luo Jun’s confidence in the siblings’ innate ability and suggested that Luo Jun had exposed a secret about him.

Taimu conceded his match against Wu Feng after his fastest attack failed to injure him, completing the final eight and setting the semi-final matchups. During the two-day break, Luo Jun discovered his lottery choice of Xue Lan carried an unusually high severity coefficient and finally leveled up by using the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

• Wu Feng used flowing Gang Qi, low weight, and minimal friction to evade and withstand Taimu's attacks, so Taimu conceded after his strongest thrust failed to hurt him.
• The final eight received their medals, and Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to choose Xue Lan as his semi-final opponent, earning an unusually high severity coefficient of eight.

• Luo Jun gained Ultimate Intent and Soul Snatching, but Soul Snatching failed to control Aishiliya and only left her dizzy.

• A man and a young woman entered the shop, and the boss lady revealed that the man was the buyer of the Gate of Time and Space.

• The man said he wanted the item so he could return to his hometown and see his relatives again.

He left with a possible new way to strengthen his Other-Dimensional Fishing Rod through the Other-Dimensional Drift Bottle.

• Luo Jun confirmed through the dice that the man’s wish to return to his distant hometown was genuine and that the Gate of Time and Space could not change history, so he let the man buy it despite A Jiali’s anger.
• Luo Jun examined the man’s Supreme Handbook and Emergency Medicine Chest, discovering that the book contained obscure insights written by a powerful being and that the chest held potent healing and survival supplies.
• Luo Jun weighed the two Mythic Treasure Items against the Golden Hoop and many Legendary and Epic Treasure Items, then exchanged outdated gear for the Mythic items and two Legendary ones.
• Luo Jun kept the Universal Charger and the Other-Dimensional Drift Bottle, suspecting that the bottle’s creator was also behind his Other-Dimensional Fishing Rod and considering whether the two tools could be fused.

Luo Jun rested between tournament matches, sent Yuan Shouzhen a letter, and learned that disturbances were spreading across several Otherworlds. The chapter left him wondering whether Yuan Shouzhen had been sent to capture a Titan Troll after a Message in a Bottle suddenly appeared.

• Luo Jun wrote Yuan Shouzhen about his recent matches and asked how his mission was going, then sent the letter with targeted drifting.

• Luo Jun arrived in a scorching, sulfurous landscape beneath a dark-red sky.

Luo Jun found a way into Dampes' underground Demon Palace by controlling a Horn Demon and disguising himself as a captured human. He reached the prison where the humans were held and prepared to look for his master.

• Luo Jun used Dice of Heavenly Secrets and swung the Myriad Jun Hammer down to break through toward Yuan Shouzhen.

Luo Jun rescued Old Yuan from Dampes’s throne room, but Dampes trapped him inside a replica of the Demon Palace and confronted him. After fighting Luo Jun and withdrawing, Dampes told Destiny that the Otherworlder was exceptionally powerful and hinted that he had learned something interesting from him.

• Luo Jun broke into the throne room, stored Old Yuan inside the Creation Chessboard’s Cave Heaven, and fled through the Gate of Myriad Realms.
• Luo Jun emerged in a simulated Demon Palace, where Dampes revealed that he had trapped him inside a replica of the true palace.
• Luo Jun attacked Dampes, landed punches despite the Demon King’s Flash and Time abilities, and tried to bluff him with a story about a Supreme God.
• Dampes withdrew through a Space Rift, leaving Luo Jun trapped, then returned to the true Demon Palace and told Destiny that Luo Jun was extraordinarily powerful.
• Dampes told Destiny that he had learned interesting things from Luo Jun.

Luo Jun rescued Old Yuan from a Cave Heaven, but the two remained trapped in the vast Hell created by Dampes. Luo Jun revealed that he had gained the Saint's Body, and Old Yuan explained that Dampes might have used a God Relic to create Hell before describing the two kinds of God Relics.

As they searched for a way out, Luo Jun showed Old Yuan the encrypted Supreme Handbook, whose mysterious seller left Old Yuan wondering whether he had encountered someone powerful from his past.

• Old Yuan explained that Divine Remains were rare sources of Godhood and that Dampes had likely used one to construct the Pseudo-Hell.

• Luo Jun considered using Breath of Divinity to enhance the Gate of Myriad Realms and potentially break the spatial blockade.
• Luo Jun showed Old Yuan the Supreme Handbook, but neither the Universal Translation Mirror nor Old Yuan could decipher its encrypted writing.
• After Luo Jun described the handbook's seller from the Ten Thousand Realms Grocery Store, Old Yuan ruled out one possible identity and took out another Treasure Tool to investigate the book.

Luo Jun and Old Yuan used the Truth-Keeping Camera to reveal one page of the Supreme Handbook, which described how the Heartless Tribe might learn to use Vital Energy. The page ended before the cultivation method was complete, leaving Luo Jun with hope that he could regain his Vital Energy but requiring them to uncover the next page.

• Old Yuan explained that the Truth-Keeping Camera could remove effects from photographed targets, and he and Luo Jun discovered it could only affect an open page of the Supreme Handbook.
• Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to choose a page, and Old Yuan photographed it with Restoration Photography.
• Old Yuan translated the page, which explained that the Heartless Tribe stored Vital Energy in their cells and could reach the Saint Realm at the Body Refinement Realm Tenth Layer.
• The handbook's author concluded that the Heartless Tribe's inherited cultivation method prevented saints from using Vital Energy and described two requirements for a new method: reaching the Saint Realm and possessing Qi Sense.
• Luo Jun realized he met both requirements, but the page ended before it revealed the full cultivation method.

Luo Jun and Old Yuan photographed enough pages of the new cultivation technique for Luo Jun to begin practicing, then concealed themselves while he prepared to cultivate. Two days later, Luo Jun was still missing as the Heavenly Origin Tournament Semi-Finals began, and Ling Yao overwhelmed Wan Zisheng with a relentless barrage of fireballs.

• Aishiliya appeared disguised as Luo Jun at the Heavenly Origin Tournament while she and Ailongtan worried about the missing Luo Jun.
• Ling Yao attacked Wan Zisheng with increasingly powerful fireballs, eventually filling the arena with flames until a holy light appeared within them.

• Ling Yao won after his fireball overwhelmed Wan Zisheng, then recalled fighting alongside Night and wished he could have faced him in the tournament.
