Aozaki Touko and Hexi explained how Imu was evolving beyond a Planetary Consciousness, leaving Dragon worried that his growth only strengthened her. Chen Nan and Luo Qianqiu proposed that Dragon marry Imu, but Hermes doubted he could win her over.
- Aozaki Touko described the relationship between a Planetary Consciousness and its inhabitants as that of landlord and tenants, while Hexi said Imu was becoming a Heavenly Dao.
- Dragon realized that improving his strength also raised the world's upper limit and helped Imu advance, but he could not afford to stop growing.
- Chen Nan and Luo Qianqiu independently offered to solve Dragon's predicament, then suggested that he marry Imu.
- Hermes noted that Dragon seemed to be living on Imu's assets and questioned whether he could use a honey trap on her.
