• Sett rescued Phantom Spirit and moved to help Fire Blade, but several hundred F8-grade puppets surrounded him.

• Teda led the six-person squad in killing the slumbering Monster Race Immortal, earning Sett and Teda 40 million military merits each and Venom 15 million.

• Sett's Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass killed five Immortals and helped the squad defeat Monaka's forces, after which the team collected more than 1.5 million chaos units in spoils.
• Sett gave up his share of the spoils and gifted the Demon Hunting Squad weapons, cultivation treasures, and two Fire God Source Crystals before saying goodbye.

• After studying the Seventh Battlefield star map, Sett chose Defiant Continent because it held many Marquis Level Immortals and planned to advance to more dangerous battlefields once stronger.
• Sett boarded the Dream Butterfly and flew toward Defiant Continent.

Sett arrived on Defiant Continent, rescued a human squad with his Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, and recruited Zhang Haobai, an old acquaintance from Earth. After defeating and consuming Mad Bull Marquis, Sett established a base and prepared to strengthen his Star-Eating Grass before hunting again.

• Sett responded to a human squad’s distress call and sent his Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to defeat Mad Bull Marquis.
• Sett introduced himself as Star-Eating Marquis, recognized Zhang Haobai, and took him under his command with Li Haotian’s approval.

• Sett collected Mad Bull Marquis’s spoils and military merits, then waited for the Star-Eating Grass to digest him and grow stronger before setting out again.

Over four centuries on Defiant Continent, Sett honed his self-created hammer technique, Soulshaker, and grew powerful enough to contend with top Marquis Immortals without relying on Star-Eating Grass. After his clashes with the Ninth Region’s strongest fighters, he decided to return to base for a rest.

• Sett spent his first century hunting alien Immortals and created his own hammer technique, Soulshaker, after drawing on his battles and insights from Chaos City.
• Sett tested Soulshaker against Marquis Kaxi, whose Blazing Fire Blade met Sett’s Soul Severance strike; Kaxi lost two percent of his immortal divine power and fled by self-destructing part of his body.
• Sett continued seeking fights and refining Soul Severance, reaching the point where he could contend with high-level Marquis Immortals, though he had killed only ten Marquis Immortals in two hundred years.
• Sett fought Annihilation Marquis to a draw, while both recognized that neither could easily defeat the other without risking a costly battle.
• Sett reflected that he had grown stronger through four hundred years of combat and decided to return to base and rest after another hundred years of fighting.
