• Ji Ziyan recognized Lei Dong as Yan Chi Xing's successor and explained that the Mother of All Spirits would be reborn through Ding Wanyan's unborn child.

• Lei Dong arrived in the desolate Barbaric Lands, where black Flying Boats pursued a group of winged beings with emerald-green hair and eyes.
