• Rong Nianbing told Feng Nu that he had lent the Ghost Carving Divine Knife to Tang San and Xiao Wu to help balance the conflict and protect Xiao Wu.

He refused to reveal Xiao Wu’s condition, leaving Rong Nianbing unable to reassure Tang San and warning the God of Emotions against threatening his family.

• An Zhen argued that Rong Nianbing could not rely on God Kings to protect him and that protecting his family meant avoiding a fight, so Rong Nianbing handed over the Ghost Carving Divine Knife.
• An Zhen proposed that the gods join forces to suppress Tang San, but Rong Nianbing objected that the God of Destruction’s extreme intentions made the plan dangerous.
• An Zhen threatened to destroy anyone who targeted his family and reminded Rong Nianbing that he had lent the knife to Xiao Wu.
• Rong Nianbing asked to see Xiao Wu so he could calm Tang San, but An Zhen refused because keeping her condition unknown would make the gods more likely to act against Tang San.
• An Zhen said Tang San had brought the conflict upon himself and prepared to capture Oscar, the God of Food.

Rong Nianbing prepared to arrange the inheritance through God of Destruction and Goddess of Life, while An Zhen demanded nearly all of Rong Nianbing’s divine weapons and techniques.

• God of Greed confronted Rong Nianbing over lending Xiao Wu a Super Artifact, but An Zhen stopped his attack and let Rong Nianbing explain his proposal.
• Rong Nianbing offered An Zhen the God of Emotions’ inheritance so he could leave the God Realm before its impending conflict, but An Zhen refused because he distrusted the risks of divine trials and considered a first-rank godhood too weak.

• An Zhen listed Rong Nianbing’s seven blades and several techniques as items he wanted for the inheritance, prompting Rong Nianbing to accuse him of trying to empty his entire household.

• Rong Nianbing agreed to give An Zhen his seven Kitchen Knives and knife techniques to help the godhood inheritance proceed and secure his family's escape.

• Oscar arrived near the Extreme North, chose to travel to Lingdou City, and was confronted by An Zhen and the God of Greed.
• Oscar used his Golden Fly and Mirror Image Sausage with a drop of blood from his necklace to unleash the Asura Blood Sword, which Gu Yue Na sensed from Shrek City and recognized with hatred.
• An Zhen countered the Crimson Giant Sword with his will of destruction while the God of Greed resisted the clash and An Zhen's Poseidon Trident shielded the town below.

• An Zhen claimed that Oscar and Xiao Wu would suffer if Ning Rongrong killed him, then dropped their battered bodies from the void.
• Ning Rongrong recognized Oscar, and Tang San saw the injured Xiao Wu before erupting in rage and swearing to kill An Zhen.

Tang San nearly ignited his divine flame and attacked the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life after learning Xiao Wu had been captured. Lie Yan stopped him by reminding him that his death would leave Xiao Wu unprotected, while the Goddess of Life persuaded the God of Destruction to halt the confrontation and win the gods’ support.

• Ning Rongrong tried to comfort Ma Hongjun, but he stared at the sword and rose with his last hope extinguished.

Ma Hongjun sacrificed his life to reunite with Bai Xiangxiang, leaving his Fire Phoenix bloodline inheritance to An Zhen and asking him to spare Ning Rongrong and Oscar. An Zhen accepted the inheritance and discussed the ease of restoring souls from the underworld, while Ning Rongrong rejected his claim that Tang San had refused to help Ma Hongjun.
