After Pangu’s axe fatally wounded the Twisted Sarcoma, it revealed itself as Emperor Cang, also called Lin Cang, and hinted at a connection with Cangyuan. Cangyuan and the others fled the Boundless Chaos, leaving the Will of the Great Dao behind, while Pangu later confronted Cangyuan about his secret.

• Pangu’s Great Dao of Strength prevented the Twisted Sarcoma from healing, and the creature admitted it was Emperor Cang, or Lin Cang.

• The Gatekeeper told Gatanothor that the Ancestor God had ordered the lower-sequence Pillar Gods to attack the newborn Boundless Great World while the first ten remained behind to suppress the Eternal Dao Fruit.
• Gatanothor awakened the sleeping Pillar Gods, and the assembled monsters prepared to march without Zoga, whose idol remained shattered and whose death Gatanothor acknowledged.

• Cangyuan summoned the Saints and gods, who debated whether to follow the Jade Sword, suspect a trap, or send a vanguard to investigate first.

Cangyuan assembled a twenty-person vanguard to follow the Jade Sword into the void and search for Hongmeng remnants. After Pangu gave him a Creation Mark as a beacon back to the Primordial World, the team prepared for a thousand years and set out, while an old Taoist called for Cangyuan to wait.

• The Saints and gods debated who should scout the void, and Cangyuan volunteered to lead the expedition.

• Cangyuan ordered the twenty members to spend a thousand years preparing before gathering at Beyond the Heavens.
