After the mission, Chen Ying'er discovered that the pig summoned through her Gate of Life had formed a Soul Contract with her and learned that it was a powerful Mirror Treasure Pig.

The Demon God Emperor threatened to destroy Demon Extermination Pass unless Saint Moon surrendered the Magic Beast, but Chen Zidian and the other members of Demon God's Fall intervened. The Demon God Emperor summoned Agares and Vassago, while Long Haoyu sensed that the little fellow had begun its preparations.

• The Demon God Emperor began a countdown, forcing Saint Moon to choose between surrendering the Magic Beast and risking the destruction of Demon Extermination Pass.
• Chen Zidian and the other five members of Demon God's Fall appeared and warned the Demon God Emperor that the humans could fight a holy war if he attacked.

A rift opened in the sky and revealed the true First Divine Seal Throne, leaving Long Haoyu stunned by the White Little Beast’s intervention.

• A throne descended from the rift and transformed into the radiant Eternity and Creation, the true First Divine Seal Throne, which Long Haoyu recognized.

The Demon God Emperor searched Demon Extermination Pass after Chen Zidian used the phantom Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to force him into a temporary concession.

• Feng Xiu stopped and looked toward Long Haoyu and Long Haochen, prompting Long Haoyu to wonder whether his grandfather planned to take one of the twins as a second heir.

He asked Chen Zidian to let the Demon God Emperor keep believing that Chen Zidian had been recognized by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, diverting attention from the brothers.

• Saint Moon explained that Long Haoyu had 100 points of Internal Spiritual Power and Long Haochen had 97, and suspected their physiques had caused the Divine Throne's projection.
• Chen Zidian tested the brothers' Innate Internal Spiritual Power and confirmed Saint Moon's claims.
• Saint Moon reported that Long Haoyu's Magical Beast Partner was a juvenile Divine Beast with the Light Attribute, based on the Alliance Master's and Yang Haoyu's speculation.
• Saint Moon asked Chen Zidian to maintain the misunderstanding that he had received the Divine Throne's recognition so the Demon God Emperor would not target the brothers or their partners.
• Long Haoyu recalled Long Xingyu once shifting blame onto Chen Zidian and silently accepted Saint Moon's plan as the other members of Demon God's Fall looked toward Chen Zidian.

Chen Zidian accepted blame to protect Long Haoyu and Long Haochen, while Long Haoyu warned that the Demon God Emperor might target them through other demons. Feng Xiu left Demon Extermination Pass reassured that Austin Griffin was absent and decided to make arrangements for two potential heirs.

• Chen Zidian agreed to take responsibility for the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation's recognition so the Demon Race would focus on him rather than Long Haoyu and Long Haochen.

Long Haoyu began the painful fusion in the Shadow Space and resolved to endure it.

• The Shadow Instructor released his perfected Perfect Self and Demon Subduing state, stirring Long Haoyu’s Demon Race Bloodline.
• The Shadow Instructor explained that Long Haoyu’s mastery remained incomplete because he had only released one of his two bloodlines.

After Long Haoyu relayed Saint Moon’s warning of a possible war, he urged the squad to prepare and cautioned Wang Yuanyuan to control his Battle Intent. The others began cultivating, while Long Haoyu waited outside the tent and anticipated the challenge his grandfather had prepared for him and Long Haochen.

• Long Haoyu returned to the camp and told Long Haochen and the others that Saint Moon had warned of an approaching storm and instructed Long Haochen to remember certain matters if war broke out.
• Wang Yuanyuan eagerly welcomed the prospect of battle, but Long Haoyu warned him to control his Battle Intent and not rush into danger.

• Long Haoyu urged everyone to strengthen themselves, and the squad members, including Cai'er and Wang Yuanyuan, began cultivating.
• After waiting for his companions to enter meditation, Long Haoyu left the tent and silently anticipated the surprise his grandfather had prepared for him and Long Haochen.

• Long Haoyu searched the approaching Demon Army for its new commander and recognized A Bao standing behind the Three Great Demon Gods.

A Bao led the Demon Army toward Demon Extermination Pass and ordered the Demon Hunt Squads hunted down before they could become future threats. Long Haoyu deduced that the ten Demon Hunt Squads were the true targets of the offensive and prepared for the coming battles.

• A Bao dismissed An Luoxian’s concerns, declared that he would take Demon Extermination Pass within three months, and ordered the Demon Army forward.

Long Haoyu suspected the Demon Army’s attack was a feint aimed at him and Long Haochen, and he told Saint Moon that its new commander, A Bao, carried an aura like the Demon God Emperor’s. Saint Moon realized A Bao might be a member of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Royal Family and hesitated to kill him, while A Bao noticed Long Haoyu and decided to adjust the next attack.

• Long Haoyu told Yang Wenzhao that the Demon Army’s assault was likely a deterrent led by a new commander, and that the Demon Hunt Squads might be its true target.

• A Bao walked to the rear of the Demon Army and ordered someone to follow, saying the next attack could be adjusted.
