Zhang Rongfang explored the Sea of Oblivion and met Long, who claimed to know his origins and offered him a chance to return to his original homeland in exchange for opening a passage.

Meanwhile, Moon God succumbed to foul-breath contamination after defeating an evil spirit, but strangers took him to a bright room where he woke under their watch.

Long showed Zhang Rongfang his former homeland and asked him to help reach its first secret lock, which was guarded by a Spirit Eye Clan creation called the Secret Keeper. To prove their strength to one another, Long brought Zhang Rongfang to the Instant Tower’s barracks, where Zhang began demonstrating his power against an Evil Spirit Elephant.

Zhang Rongfang tested his strength before the Instant Tower’s Long and learned from Bottom Crawler that Long housed a mysterious consciousness and the Three Kings embodied the Spirit Eye Clan’s three paths. After leaving Bottom Crawler, Zhang Rongfang realized he had entered a different Great Abyss and wondered who he had really spoken to.

Zhang Rongfang traveled to a destroyed Interaction Zone, where he devoured its Evil Spirits and grew stronger while searching for a way back to the Great Ling Interaction Zone. At the Instant Tower, Long revealed that he had deceived Zhang Rongfang about the passage’s destination and planned to use his unusual consciousness to open a route to White Pupil.

• Zhang Rongfang reached Perpetual Palace, disguised himself as Heart Fusion, and resolved to gather information before destroying Long, the Three Kings, and the evil spirit bodies.

• Zhang Rongfang approached Perpetual Palace, gave the name Heart Fusion at the silver boundary, and drew the attention of a Black-Clad Man in Perpetual Tower.
• Perpetual Palace’s automatic defenses struck Zhang Rongfang with lightning, which his blood shield blocked, and the Stone Statue Troop gathered to stop him.

After he broke free and copied Di Mo’s strength and form, he overpowered her and pulled her toward the monstrous mouth opening in his chest.

• The Stone Statue Troop surrounded Zhang Rongfang, and Di Mo explained that their Sealing Force Field blocked his external control abilities and confined him in space.

• Zhang Rongfang stabbed Di Mo in the eye with his tongue, tasted her scent, and copied her green crystal arms and strength.
• Zhang Rongfang broke Di Mo’s arms, seized her, and drew her toward a huge toothed mouth that had opened in his chest.

Zhang Rongfang defeated Di Mo and demanded information about the land from La, but she lured him into an attack inside the Perpetual Tower. After surviving La’s attempt to annihilate him, Zhang Rongfang confronted her again, and their battle continued.

• Zhang Rongfang dodged a beam from beneath him, while La teleported Di Mo to her and discovered that he was dead and his consciousness had been captured in a crystal.
• La agreed to trade information about the land for Di Mo’s consciousness, and Zhang Rongfang approached the Perpetual Tower while the Stone Statue Troop backed away.

• Zhang Rongfang reappeared inside the doorway, revealed his Human Immortal regeneration, and exchanged blows with La as his many arms struck her and she blasted a hole through his torso.

Zhang Rongfang and La fought to a stalemate, each unable to kill the other despite their immense powers. They agreed to make peace and considered cooperating to find a way to open a passage to Zhang Rongfang’s homeland.

Zhang Rongfang crossed the Copper Mirror Passage to inspect a nearby world and found a barren planet scorched by White Pupil’s heat and Evil Energy radiation. He returned with scorched soil, fearing the world’s inhabitants might only survive underground and recognizing the fate that could await his own world.

• La explained that opening a long-distance passage required enormous energy from the planet’s core and the three Flawless Secret Locks, while repeated tests hastened the world’s destruction.
• Zhang Rongfang asked La to open a nearby passage so he could investigate another world, and she used the remaining reserve energy to open one for ten minutes.
• Zhang Rongfang crossed into a world beneath White Pupil, where he used a Sky Curtain and his Rapid Stress Response to withstand the extreme heat and radiation.

• Zhang Rongfang returned through the gate, wondering whether any surviving life remained deep underground and understanding La’s despair more fully.

The Blood Web expanded across Great Ling, and the empire began sending forces along the Outer Realm Heavenly Road after a message arrived from the Gods and Buddhas gathering area.

• Meng Qian and Hunter Tiger drank Zhang Rongfang's Blood Wine, and Di Jiang drank after Zhang Rongfang admitted he could not know whether Jun Er would disappear.

When an Evil Spirit riot swept in, a Human Character Division expert and other Four Divisions fighters intervened, revealing the strength granted by Zhang Rongfang’s new Nether Spring.

• A squad of fifteen Black Armored Men killed two Evil Spirit Cars, but their blasts destroyed the bodies of four soldiers, who regrew after the Captain poured blood water over their severed heads.
