• Zhang Mingzhen agreed to delay Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven’s dungeon run in exchange for Century Imperial City gathering netherworld grass and unparalleled crystals.
• Century Imperial City collected thousands of portions of the materials, and Zhang Mingzhen gave samples to Golden Toad and the rest to Xichen for the Azurewave Clan’s Holy Relic.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiao Youhui assembled top players for a level-eighty dungeon, where they struggled against the mobs before One Arrow Shoots the Sun revealed how his innate skill might help them fight the first boss.

• Qin Xiao Youhui's group discussed monsters growing stronger and the possibility that God's Domain was assimilating reality, then tasked him with contacting Chongxing.

• Zhang Mingzhen's Azurewave Clan reached sixty-two members, his evolution rate reached ninety percent, and he advanced to level eighty-eight as other top players passed level eighty.
• Qin Xiao Youhui led a cross-server team into an easy level-eighty dungeon, where the players struggled to clear the opening mobs and complained about the swordsmen's control attacks.
• At the Sword Cavern's first boss, Shiyade explained that One Arrow Shoots the Sun's S-rank Deception skill could alter Power Strike's cooldown, potentially letting the team use it more often.

Qin Xiao’s team defeated the Sword Spirit Body, and One Arrow Shoots the Sun earned a place on their regular team with his damage-boosting talent. Zhang Mingzhen learned Dispel and headed to test it on Corpse Demons, where fleeing players warned him that the monsters were stronger and more dangerous than reported.

• Zhang Mingzhen entered the Corpse Ghouls' territory, dispelled their curses, and destroyed the creatures while worrying that a leader might possess a player.

• Zhang Mingzhen surveyed the wilderness near Tomb City and sent the three Flower Spirits to the Strange Stone Forest while he searched for high-level monsters.
• At Sand Lake, the Golden Toad sensed medicinal plants, but Seven-Leaf Grass dragged it beneath the sand until Zhang Mingzhen rescued it and defeated the plant.
• The Golden Toad identified the Nine-Fragrance Seed as a main ingredient for resurrection medicine, and Zhang Mingzhen used the Wildsea Candle Dragon to expose and destroy the lake’s Seven-Leaf Grass.
