• Zhou Xuan drew the shattered Profound Light World’s origin source back and absorbed it, convincing the false Heavenly Dao to call him its only ally and reveal the passage to the Unified Divine Prison.
• As Zhou Xuan approached the black vortex, Ji Chen murmured “Heavenly Strategy,” causing Zhou Xuan to stop and wonder what was hidden inside.

After discovering that the Profound Light World held a trace linked to Supreme One, Zhou Xuan entered the vortex and resisted a mysterious will. He emerged in a pristine higher-dimensional Divine Kingdom and found a powerful, unharmed Ji Chen, who greeted him as if they had met before.

• Zhou Xuan recognized that the figure wearing Ji Chen’s face was a convincing imitation that saw him as an object, not a person.
