• Qin Heng and Zhang Daoping inspected the decaying Pangu temple and found no trace of an inheritance.

• The Ice Flame Saint Child identified the array as an artificial storage space, and Qin Heng opened it by locating its rune node.
• Qin Heng and Zhang Daoping saw a board, a stone axe, and ancient silk inside the storage space and recognized them as Pangu’s inheritance.

Qin Heng and Zhang Daoping examined three treasures from the inheritance and learned that the silk recorded a Divine Dao Ancient Text and the Stone Axe was a Law Weapon. They stored the axe away for safety and identified the final item as an Arrow Boat, leaving the ancient text and its secrets for Qin Heng to study later.

• Qin Heng unfolded the silk and discovered an unreadable script that Ice Flame Saint Child identified as the Divine Dao Ancient Text of the Void Ash Supreme.

• Qin Heng learned to create Space Prisons within his Battle Domain and trapped a sparrow inside one, where it died in the vacuum.
• Qin Heng sensed that he had accumulated enough strength to break through to Grandmaster and laid out more Moon Gold Crystals to begin.

After his strength and divine sense grew, Qin Heng discovered that his Battle Domain could not expand as far as his perception and learned more about the potential of Original Runes. At the South Sea, he confronted Sea Wind God about the coming attack and was urged to kill the Lord of All Beasts before it grew stronger.

• Qin Heng completed six hours of cultivation, doubling his battle energy and physique while expanding his divine sense to a sixty-kilometer radius.

He suspected the Lord of All Beasts had finished hunting and reached his peak, leaving Qin Heng to plan a careful strike.

• Qin Heng weighed the Sea Wind God's suggestion to take the initiative against the Lord of All Beasts and promised to spare the Sea Wind God if possible.

• Qin Heng asked the Satellite Station to search the northern Atlantic, and its staff detected seven Beast Gods near the surface.

• Qin Heng left the Satellite Station without explaining why he had asked about the Lord of All Beasts, which he believed was reaching or had reached the Transcendent Realm.

• Qin Heng and Zhang Daoping left Jiang Wenjue and the other students at the ancient legacy site, where Jiang Wenjue promised to keep them calm and search Pangu Temple.
