The Immortal Wood Clan contained the immediate chaos but could not cleanse the infected Origins, and its members blamed Jiang Ping An for the crisis.

• Jiang Ping An used the Extreme Yang Dao Domain and Devouring Black Hole to overwhelm Cheng Yi, who escaped rather than unleash the devil blood within him.

Jiang Ping An, pursued by two Sixth Level God Kings from the Blazing Yao Clan, used Zhou He's fortune-conversion ability to turn his resources into a desperate chance to survive. He scattered treasure across the sea of sand, drawing Yan Shan away to collect it while Yan Guan Zhuo continued the pursuit.

• Jiang Ping An realized Cheng Yi had failed to hold off the Blazing Yao Clan pursuers, leaving him hunted by Yan Shan and Yan Guan Zhuo.
• Jiang Ping An sent his resources to Zhou He and ordered him to convert them into fortune while he fled and endured the God Kings' attacks.
• Zhou He inscribed Divine Runes on the treasures and told Jiang Ping An to add his blood to the converted items and throw them out before the work was complete.
• Jiang Ping An scattered more than a hundred Divine Weapons and other treasures, prompting Yan Shan to pursue the valuables while Yan Guan Zhuo stayed after him.
• Jiang Ping An continued throwing out treasures for nearly half an hour, astonishing both pursuers with the size of his hoard.

Jiang Ping An fled Yan Shan and Yan Guan Zhuo by escaping into the deadly Crystal Sea Area, where his Primordial Rule suppressed the crystal-transforming effects.
