After the Mopou Plane war, Adam returned to Shanti and learned that Immortals were interested in challenging him over his role in destroying a plane. He accepted a soul-protecting Crystal Ball while waiting for Explorer Mages to investigate the Gem Dragons’ plane, leaving open whether the Immortal would come to fight.

• Adam treated the Immortal Civilization delegation as ordinary passersby while Celestial Venerable Wanxiang’s group supplied him with intelligence, and Wendy helped compile a list of reliable Explorer Mages.

• Over two more years, Krystal mapped the region and reached the Disaster Zone's absolute edge, where she saw something terrifying and fled.
• At the Atomic Energy Research Institute branch on Shanti, Adam and several others received Krystal's urgent intelligence and rose before the monitoring screens.

After Krystal’s footage revealed another Demon Submerging Abyss, the mages considered what it meant for the Disaster Zone and the Immortal Civilization. Celestial Venerable Wanxiang secretly approached Adam, seeking friendship before the mages and Immortals became enemies.

• Aisha, Wendy, Adam, and the other mages watched Krystal’s footage of a second Demon Submerging Abyss and discussed whether multiple abysses sealed one or more Hypervoid Lives.
• Adam concluded that Krystal’s survival meant no complete Hypervoid Life was present, then asked True Spirit Randolph whether the Immortal emissaries had explained the abysses.
• Neham suggested that factions and conflicting intentions among the Immortals could explain why they had kept the mages uninformed, and predicted they might soon act after the new abyss was discovered.
• Celestial Venerable Wanxiang secretly contacted Adam through the Wanxiang Sphere and said she wanted the mages to become friends rather than fall into conflict with the Immortals.
• Adam recognized Wanxiang’s approach as an attempt to break a negotiation stalemate, but wondered why she had chosen to speak with him.

Celestial Venerable Wanxiang explained that the True Demon’s sealed body parts were drawing the Demon Submerging Abysses toward the Immortal Realm, and she described the immortals’ disagreement over how to transcend the Epochal Tribulation. After Wanxiang left, Adam told the Frontline’s high-level mages that the immortals planned to send a divided joint force to the war and that they needed to decide whether to accept it.

• Wanxiang revealed that five Demon Submerging Abysses held the True Demon’s torso and limbs, while the Great Heavenly Venerable was its head.

The mages agreed to accept the Immortal Civilization’s army as an opportunity to learn about them, while Adam prepared a campaign against the Giant Beast Civilization and reconsidered how he would handle his arranged duel. After a year of anticipation, the Immortals arrived at Shanti in a display of force that Wendy dismissed as childish.

• Adam spread word about the Giant Beast Civilization while mages gathered in Shanti, hoping to join the campaign or learn about the Immortals.
• After a year, one thousand Immortals and one hundred thousand cultivators arrived outside Shanti aboard a massive flying vessel, and Wendy mocked their display of force.

The Immortal army’s attempt to intimidate Shanti provoked a forceful response from the mages, worsening tensions before the two sides could establish contact. After the Immortals entered Shanti, Adam suggested that Celestial Venerable Wanxiang consider leaving the Immortal Civilization, and she stared at him in surprise.

On Shanti, clashes between mages and cultivators continued, and Wanxiang explained to Adam how the Six Paths of Reincarnation made death less final for the cultivators.

• Celestial Venerable Wanxiang rebuked Fenghun Heavenly Venerable for nearly endangering the immortal army, but Fenghun dismissed the danger and insisted he could defeat Randolph.

• Celestial Venerable Wanxiang returned to speak with Adam, who asked why the cultivators seemed unconcerned about dying.

• Wendy, Adam, Neham, and Aisha discussed Wanxiang’s unusual hesitation and concluded they lacked enough intelligence to understand it.
• Adam learned that Krystal and the others had finished investigating the Giant Beast Civilization and the Left Arm Demon Submerging Abyss, so the mages prepared to attack the Giant Beast Civilization.

As Adam and the Holy Towers prepared a war to exploit the civilization’s resources and draw more mages into their ranks, Mordo Tower joined the Fifth Element Holy Tower.

• Twelve Explorer Mages reached the Giant Beast Civilization, where powerful giant beasts made exploration dangerous and difficult.

Cong Zhen’s intelligence revealed that the Demon Submerging Abyss held a Demonic Path Civilization and that the seal around the True Demon’s Left Arm was failing. As Adam demanded an explanation from the Wanxiang Sect, Cong Zhen promised to investigate, leaving the Mage Legion and immortals on the brink of conflict.

• Cong Zhen explained that corrupted original Subduing Beasts could serve the True Demon and that its Left Arm could generate countless Demonic Beasts within a vast hostile realm.
• Adam shared the intelligence with the legion, and Cong Zhen provided Jump Point coordinates that helped the fleet reach the Giant Beast Civilization Region after fifteen years.
• Krystal reported that Demonic Qi had spread through the region, multiple Level Nine Demonic Beasts had emerged, and the seal was expected to fail within five years.
• Adam warned Cong Zhen that the legion could be trapped by Level Nine Demonic Beasts if the seal failed before they were prepared, then demanded an explanation for the worsening situation.
• A Wanxiang Sect immortal rejected Adam’s demand and provoked a confrontation, prompting the mages to form a Magic Array around the command headquarters.
• Cong Zhen swept the protesting immortal into her sleeve, apologized to Adam, and asked for time to provide a reasonable explanation.

Adam tested Cong Zhen and Celestial Venerable Wanxiang, then persuaded Cong Zhen to open a breach in the seal around the Demon Submerging Abyss. A small mage force entered to reinforce the failing barrier and confront the True Demon's Left Arm.

• Adam told Wendy that his earlier provocation had been aimed at Cong Zhen's mother, Celestial Venerable Wanxiang, as a test of their response.
• Cong Zhen questioned Lu Zhe, who revealed that he had always been a spy before she used the Wanxiang Sphere to weaken him and expose the Primordial Spirits of two other Immortals.
• Adam crushed the three Primordial Spirits Cong Zhen handed him and secured the Wanxiang Sect's agreement to act as a vanguard.
• Cong Zhen explained that the True Demon's Left Arm was counterattacking the Eight Trigrams Two Instruments Array and agreed to open a breach for three starships.
• Three days later, the Nine-Headed Dragon and three mage constructs entered through the breach, where the mages began clearing Demonic Qi and reinforcing the seal.

Adam and the mages sealed the Demon Submerging Abyss’s outer exit and entered the Giant Beast Civilization’s realm to investigate the remaining threat. There, Amut revealed that sealing the main channel had driven Demonic Qi into the Giant Spirit Realm, where new exits were rapidly appearing.

• Adam used Aisha and Wendy, Clinton, and Neham to reinforce a seal around the Demon Submerging Abyss, leaving a passage so the mages could pursue the True Demon's Left Arm.
• A fleet of nearly a thousand starships entered the war zone, and Adam asked Cong Zhen to lead him to the giant beasts once subdued by Celestial Venerable Wanxiang.
• Cong Zhen used the Wanxiang Sphere to open a way into the deep world, where Adam saw that the Demon Submerging Abyss had many smaller exits on its reverse side.
• Amut told Adam that sealing the outer exit had redirected Demonic Qi into the Giant Spirit Realm and that ten new exits had appeared within minutes.
• Adam asked Amut whether the giant beasts had ever ventured deep inside.
