• The Nether Demon Lord realized the starships supplied the Three Great Cities with Heaven and Earth Essence, then tried to outlast them by avoiding direct combat.

Shang Yan resolved to risk returning to the Nether Realm in search of a path to the Third-Tier Divine Realm, despite fearing the demon god. The Snowpeak Honored One suspected the Nether Demon Lord's orb had enabled his breakthrough and concluded the Devil Race had suffered a costly defeat invading the Human Realm.

• Shang Yan reflected on the Nether Demon Lord's strength and the demon god's power, then decided to seek advancement in the Nether Realm more cautiously next time.
