• Little Spirit confirmed that The Empire was also an ancient race occupying a Great World, changing how Su Ye viewed its standing among other races.

• Su Ye read the Divine Arts Era records and learned that the Empire had once ruled vast territories but lost the Previous Epoch after other races joined forces against it.
• Su Ye asked Little Spirit for books about the birth of new systems and read that a system needed time to evolve and recognition from the world’s rules.
• Su Ye concluded that the Seed of Original Sin was too limited to be a complete system and had not gained the world’s recognition.
• Su Ye asked Little Spirit to send him out of the Number One Forbidden Zone, then decided to leave its divine arts alone and rely on the Sharingan.

Alenna and Tiflo returned to Su Ye’s territory after discovering that the world they had visited had changed its World Will.

• Alenna and Tiflo emerged from a Light Gate in Su Ye’s territory, reported their return, and approached him when he offered to inspect them.

After hearing Alenna and Tiflo explain how living beings could influence a world's will, Su Ye realized that a new system needed a complete, self-sustaining cultivation path, but put off developing one. Meanwhile, the Church of the Old Days began a bloody ritual in the lawless Fei Kingdom, and Su Ye later noticed his luck was rising as he returned to the Main World.

• Luo Jingtian asked Tang Yun where the Old One would return, and she said she did not know but that his influence over her power was growing uncontrollable.

• Tang Yun asked Luo Jingtian to kill the Old God and explained that she had eliminated the others who inherited Its power, fulfilling one condition for stealing Its Authority.
• Tang Yun told Luo Jingtian that the Old God had marked her as a seed and beacon for Its return, and that someone else had summoned It back.
• Old Man explained to Su Ye that stealing an Old God's Authority required the Old God to perish, recognition from the power system, and the Old God's origin, and warned that the path would be extremely difficult.
• Old Man told Su Ye that The Empire's operation was nearly over, so Su Ye no longer needed to stir things up and could return to his territory.
• Ling Haotian told Tang Yun she could not steal the Old God's Authority, but agreed to ask someone about it and went to find Ji Wubing.
