• Wriothesley trusted Sigewinne's warning and decided to meet the approaching presence.

Wriothesley left Shui Binger and Sigewinne to confront Ouroboros, a Demon God sent to investigate the mysterious power of the stars.

As the Asura God left to investigate, the God of Destruction proposed secretly sending a First-Level God to the lower realms, prompting suspicion from the God of Evil.

• The God of Kindness, the Goddess of Life, and the God of Destruction watched Demon God Ouroboros's imprint fade from the God Realm Central Core and questioned whether it had malfunctioned.

God of Destruction left dissatisfied, and the Goddess of Life called for Wrath.

• God of Destruction urged the God of Kindness and God of Evil to send a first-class god to investigate the Demon God, but they decided to consult Asura and proceed cautiously.

• Sigewinne told Wriothesley that Zhu Zhuqing had been distracted during training, and Wriothesley left without explaining the trouble.
• Zhu Zhuqing reflected on how much Wriothesley had given her and worried that graduating from Blazing Fire Academy would make her situation harder.
