• The golden light plunged into the Magic Banishing Domain and landed in the middle of the enemy army, revealing Lady Kuna, a young man, and a two-year-old girl instead of the expected 8th-level mage.

Song Shuhang fought the Evil Beasts surrounding the Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot despite the disrupted Dragon Network and Mana Flow, while Lady Kuna protected the sleeping Li Yinzhu.

• Song Shuhang made his Sage’s Pregnancy Eye swell the undead female evil spirit’s abdomen, then summoned Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword as the Steel Avatar used a spatial jump to reach the statue.

Song Shuhang’s Steel Avatar stole the Ten-Armed Statue using spatial jumps and Crazy Escape Mode, ending the Magic-Banishing Domain and freeing the Dragonblood Clan Branch to fight back.

• The Steel Monster Fish drained the Steel Avatar and the Ten-Armed Statue of their energy, captured them, and carried them into the void.
• Song Shuhang asked Scarlet Heaven Sword to help eliminate the Evil Beasts and Evil Spirits in Dadama Forest before going to retrieve his avatar.
• After Song Shuhang applied the Blade-Nourishing Art, Scarlet Heaven Sword unleashed the Heaven-Burning Flame Saber, and pillars of fire burned most of the enemies without harming allies.

Song Shuhang survived the flame woman’s attack by sending a clone in his place, but his injuries and the clone’s destruction overwhelmed him and left him unconscious. Meanwhile, the flame woman remained in the Ancient Nether, and Song Shuhang’s Steel Avatar was carried to a Steel Monster Fish nest and asked whether it was a princess.

• Senior White Two planted twisted strands of hair in the Ancient Nether, where they grew into towering pillars as the two Senior Whites continued onward.
• The flame woman blasted apart the Heavenly Punishment cloud, grabbed Song Shuhang’s clone, and fled through a Space Gate into the Ancient Nether.
• Song Shuhang revealed that his real body had hidden beneath the Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot, then asked Lady Kuna to watch over Little Yinzhu while he headed beyond the heavens.

Song Shuhang woke after three and a half days unconscious and learned that his Steel Avatar had become the core of a sun during the funeral ceremony for Star Kingdom’s final princess.

After waking from three days unconscious, he tested the Soul-Deliverance Method on captured Evil Beasts and Evil Spirits, and Creation Fairy helped him discover how to make it work.

Song Shuhang tested the evil spirits and discovered their hidden pure souls could only be seen through the Confucian Sage’s Eye.

• Song Shuhang appraised an evil beast and learned that evil spirits were remnants from an unknown era whose invisible souls returned to the Ancient Netherworld after their hosts were slain.

• Song Shuhang’s Sage’s Eye showed him the Confucian Sage writing a bamboo slip that became a huge pillar in the Ancient Netherworld, prompting him to suspect other big shots had planted the region’s pillars.

Song Shuhang watched the Confucian Sage reveal memories of powerful figures who had planted pillars in the Ancient Nether World, learning that it was a fragment of an ancient world. The Sage’s Eye overloaded from the information and burned Song Shuhang, who recovered and then considered testing his Dragon Network authority.

• The Confucian Sage showed Song Shuhang figures beside pillars, including a Heavenly Dao who complained about his unmanageable hair and a Longevity Immortal who praised the benefits of accumulating Merit.

• Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword explained that Song Shuhang’s Steel Avatar had earned merit by shining over the Black Dragon World, and that the merit would strengthen Song Shuhang’s mental energy and physical body.

Song Shuhang discovered that the Merit Light accumulating over the Black Dragon World was strengthening his spiritual energy and body, and he helped Li Yinzhu and the Hamster Fiend activate their Mana Chargers. As he meditated, a Dragon Blood Branch Tribe reward of two million Mana Flow arrived, and his Dragon Network access port suddenly charged toward Level Six.

• Song Shuhang realized his growing Merit Power had added a Sacred Ape and warned that his strengthening might trigger the Black Dragon World Tribulation early.
