• Gu Chen recalled traveling across Douluo Continent with Leng Yaozhu, raising the Abyssal Demon Dragon Void, and leaving for Aolai City after Leng Yaozhu promised to train him in six years.
• Gu Chen realized that the memories had returned and reflected on his connection to Teacher Leng Yaozhu.

• Gu Chen reasoned that the system might be an artificial intelligence that selected transmigrators and took their souls, and wondered where its rewards had come from.

At Shrek Academy, Long Yeyue planned to search for missing Cai Yue'er and blamed the Butian Sect, while Yun Ming recalled how Yun Che had nearly killed her with three soul-shattering punches.
