• Lei Dong told the giant that he was human using Zagu’s Demon Body and said he had once rescued Nether Giants and Butterfly People.

Lei Dong proved to Tai Ming and the Butterfly Emperor that he was the commander of the Black Armor Army and explained his position in the war. After learning he might be a Heaven-Chosen One selected by the Will of the Universe, Lei Dong resolved not to become its puppet and considered siding with the Heaven-Defying Ones.

Lei Dong discovered that the Ancestor God was the Nether God, the originator of his legacy, and learned that the ancient Supreme of the Three Realms had left him gravely wounded.

Lei Dong devoured the Nether God's consciousness and absorbed his memories, learning the origins of the Eye of Reincarnation and the Netherworld Law. As he sifted through the Nether God's knowledge, he discovered the Nether God had created many of the Netherworld's races and resolved to focus on mastering the Netherworld Law.

After returning to the Void Fortress, Lei Dong used his resources and the Sacred Domain to cultivate, strengthen his forces, and improve Lei Hu’s bloodline. Five thousand years later, Lei Dong had reached the peak of the Body Integration Realm and stood one step from Sub-Saint, while his armies became self-sufficient and allies in the Immortal Realm prepared for his return.

• Lei Hu neared the middle stage of the Body Integration Realm, while Ghost Thorn and Gui Ming reached its early stage; Mò Yáo and Mei Xiang learned to fight in golden-grade War Puppets.
• Red Ghost, Situ Hao, and Li Jun advanced to the early Body Integration Realm, while Canglan Fairy and Queen of Pain reached the high stage under Lei Dong’s support.

• Lei Dong and his allies baited more than ten Body Integration Realm experts into the Crystal Ancient Race’s sacred grounds, trapped them, and killed them one by one.
• Lei Dong handed the defeated experts’ Primordial Spirits to Ji instead of absorbing them himself, delighting her.

Disguised as Zagu, Lei Dong launched a surprise attack when the Three Emperors arrived with the united Expeditionary Force, wiping out the Body Integration experts who had been gathered as bait. With both sides’ forces now nearly evenly matched, Lei Dong’s allies stalled the Emperors by claiming their master could offer a complete Chaos Origin.

• Lei Dong, disguised as Zagu, saw Aideruo, Bai Li, and Zhong Liqing arrive with a massive allied force and ordered an immediate attack.

Lei Dong’s forces decisively defeated the Three Emperors, and Tai Ming killed Aideruo on Lei Dong’s command. After Canglan Fairy pleaded for Sky Que Sword Emperor Zhong Liqing, Lei Dong offered to spare him if he accepted a Mental Imprint and promised a possible share of Chaos Origin; Zhong Liqing asked whether the promise was genuine.
