• Wang Chuan regained control, entrusted Ning Rongrong to Chen Xin, and awakened the Ambrosial Arbor to use Merciful Bud Revival - Myriad Spirits Share Spring.

• Wang Chuan poured more power into reviving Wen Jingran, whose body began reforming as a Taotie while his human consciousness struggled to return.

• Chen Xin urged Wang Chuan to end the monster, and Wang Chuan overcame his turmoil enough to raise Nothingness and begin his Sixth Spirit Ability, “Return to Ruin: Myriad Manifestations.”

• Wang Chuan returned Ning Rongrong’s grip and walked with her toward the Glazed Tile Pagoda as a faint light returned to his eyes.

Wang Chuan’s growing Void Power eroded his memories and emotions, leaving Ning Rongrong as his only remaining emotional anchor. After the Asura God ordered him to return to the City of Slaughter and defeat the Blood Red Bat King possessing Tang Chen, Ning Fengzhi negotiated with Spirit Hall for the release of its captured warriors and information about Fu Lin.

• Wang Chuan showed increasing apathy and began forgetting recent events and details about Wen Jingran, while Ning Rongrong’s care still stirred faint reactions in him.

• Ning Rongrong accompanied Wang Chuan to his abandoned farmhouse and tried to comfort him while he searched for traces of Fu Lin.
• Wang Chuan sensed faint residual spatial energy in the house, and Ning Rongrong found a rusted iron box in the bedroom.

• Ning Rongrong found scraps of his mother's loving messages and a lock of silver hair she had carefully saved from his first visit home.
• The memories overwhelmed Wang Chuan, who struggled against the Power of Void and reached out to touch the treasured lock of hair.
