He left after warning them not to disappoint him again, promising to explain the matter to Momonga and Herohero when they awoke.

• Naiyuan asked how many World Bosses escaped Jiuyao, whether Nienniels could contact them, and why Players had transmigrated.

Nienniels urged him to delay godhood until the Dragon-Slaying Sword became a World Item, and Naiyuan saw a chance to combine that transformation with his own ascension and [Ragnarok]'s erosion.
