As the Wielder confronted Wu Xu and drew his divine mace, Flowing Cloud Saint Lord offered an alliance, but Wu Xu returned to Shi Lan without answering.

• Shi Lan felt her Primordial Spirit merge with the Qiong Luo Realm, and her cultivation rose as the laws of heaven and earth became clear to her.
• The Sword Emperor aged as his remaining power ran dry, wished Shi Lan luck, and left her to bow in gratitude while Wuxu watched.

Shi Lan returned to Lingyang carrying the relocated Qiong Luo Realm, but the realm’s presence triggered a heavenly tribulation that she suppressed by injuring herself. After reuniting with Tian Bai, she settled back into the Tianyan Sect and began preparing to undergo tribulation elsewhere.

• Shi Lan helped Wuxu wipe out the remaining Samsara Hall army in the Qiong Luo Realm, then accepted the Sword Emperor's dimmed Dao Fruit and prepared to leave with the realm's surviving life-forms.
• Wuxu warned Shi Lan that Lingyang's Heavenly Dao would punish the Qiong Luo Realm's life-forms, then opened a passage and left to handle unfinished matters.
• Yang Zun saw the failed war mission results, and days later a giant hand replayed the destruction of Qiong Luo Realm across the starry sky.

• Li Canglan spread Shi Lan's decree, and common folk welcomed plans for Tianyan Sect branch stations while powerful clans worried about losing territory and resources.
