Buddha Tathagata's Yin Body transported Lu Chen and Lu Xiao into a bizarre space and offered Lu Chen rule over the Yin Primordial World.

• Lu Chen asked whether merging with his inner demon would let him claim the highest position, and Buddha Tathagata's Yin Body trembled with excitement.

• Lu Chen sat on the throne and declared that it and the entire Yin Primordial World belonged to the Lu family.

Lu Chen sat on the Yin Primordial World's skeletal throne while pretending to accept Tathagata's offer, then questioned him about the realm's leadership, his own safety, and its hidden heart demons. Tathagata explained that he ruled over the Jade Emperor's weaker Yin Body and claimed Lu Chen would be bound to the realm and weakened if he killed him; his answer about the remaining questions had yet to come.

• Tathagata argued Lu Chen would share the Yin Primordial World's fortunes after merging with its origin, so killing him would weaken Lu Chen's own power.

Lu Chen accepted Tathagata's Yin Body's offer to become ruler of the Yin Primordial World, while learning that Tathagata could not see into the saints' inner demons.

Demonic energy from the Yin Primordial World spread across the Yang Primordial World, driving its inhabitants mad and corroding its Profound Yellow Luck.
