• The Grand Eunuch agent used the blackout to activate optical camouflage, slip through the formation, and enter Yuntai Peak.

Li Fan tracked Division Three’s agents to a Thunder Kylin relay and devised a soul technique to coordinate attacks on both sides. After Xiantong flew off with the eunuch agent, Li Fan infiltrated the Primeval Lotus, recovered the agents’ access key, and rescued Qiongqi’s Dao Body.

Li Fan watched the Divine Sect’s assault turn catastrophic when the False Moon’s growing radiation drove its demons into monstrous transformations and destroyed the Xuan Sects’ formations. As the four sect leaders fought to protect Yuntai Peak, Li Fan sent the Thunder Kylin to repair its wiring, triggering a furious roar from someone on the peak.

• Li Fan saw the Divine Sect’s Blood God Children batter Wangwu Mountain’s formation while the four Xuan Sect leaders held back their forces to protect their disciples.
• Li Fan detected the False Moon’s radiation intensifying and suppressing his Radiant Star clone as the Divine Sect’s monsters grew stronger and transformed.
• The transformed demons overwhelmed the four formations, killing or corrupting many Xuan Sect disciples and forcing the four Dao Lords to defend Yuntai Peak themselves.
• Li Fan realized Yuntai Peak could not move because its circuit had tripped, so he used the Thousand-Faced Magic Puppet to search an agent’s memories and sent the Thunder Kylin to repair the wiring.
• Someone on Yuntai Peak roared in fury that the person who could repair the painting had died again.

Xiantong destroyed the demonic horde but was overwhelmed by a faceless combatant believed to be the returned Ten Absolutes God Lord, while the Divine Sect and Daoists clashed around Yuntai Peak.

After learning that the company had deployed fleets to defend Earth and was preparing to reshape the local powers, Li Fan released several captured Immortal Sect leaders and warned Purple Void Dao Lord about the coming Celestial Devils. He left Purple Void Dao Lord in his Star Realm with the company's plan to study, while the battle at Juelong Ridge and the larger crisis remained unresolved.

• Li Fan learned that the God Lord he had encountered was a clone and that the company had sent three fleets to defend Earth against threats migrating from the Void Abyss.
• Li Fan reassured Qin Jiu, then concluded that the Immortal Sect needed to survive the company's plans and released Chonglingzi and 'Jiuying' in exchange for promised harvests.

Song Dayou found a lone boy named Zheng in the Void Abyss and brought him to Ink Bamboo Mountain, where he named him Ze Tian and revealed that his fate was tied to a powerful scripture.
