Chen Fei endured the Heavenly Tribulation, grew stronger, and helped the Hidden Origin Bell and Qian Yuan Sword advance to Intermediate Creation Mystic Treasures. After the tribulation, his divine soul returned to the star-filled void, where he found 237 Rule Characteristics, including characteristics for rules he had not mastered.
