Garen underwent the White Tiger Clan’s Ancestral Hall Baptism, absorbing the White Tiger Crystal’s energy far longer than anyone expected. After three days and three nights, the energy stopped, leaving the gathered clan leaders astonished by the purity of his bloodline as Garen continued to sense his body’s transformation.

After completing the White Tiger Pool transformation, Garen awakened Tiger Roar, an Innate Divine Ability that could strike targets across space at extraordinary range. Half a month later, he accepted the lead in an ambush against the Bolin Clan and set out with Linley, Bebe, Ulunisen, and the others.

• After thirty-six days in the White Tiger Pool, Garen completed his transformation and unleashed Tiger Roar, shattering space more than a hundred miles away.

• The four Clan Leaders marveled at Garen’s awakened ability, and he left with Jenny and the others to return to the Bolei Clan mountains.
• Half a month later, Tiger told Garen that the Bolin Clan’s Metal Lifeform was following its route and that the Four Divine Beasts Clan wanted him to lead an ambush.

After the clan leaders and elders approved Garen’s terms, they assembled their Five-Star Fiends and prepared Huaxia Tokens for battle communications.

As Garen’s eight fighters charged in, the Underworld Serpent Ancestor realized several powerful Asuras were among them and struggled to decide whether to fight or flee.

• Pusluo told Garen he had used all his Sovereign’s Might fighting Milo and received ten more drops from Garen after claiming their duel had ended in a draw.

• Garen put away his Metal Lifeform, shouted for his team to slaughter the Ashcroft Clan, and charged with his seven companions.
• The Underworld Serpent Ancestor recognized several likely Asura-level experts among the attackers and calculated that his clan could not safely face them alone.

The Underworld Serpent Ancestor attacked Linley and Garen with Soul Annihilation, but their Soul Defense Divine Artifacts stopped both strikes. Garen and his companions then tore into the Ashcroft Clan’s ranks, where Linley trapped thousands of enemies in Black Stone Space and left the surviving Seven-Star Fiends struggling to escape.

• Garen appeared before Muba in Mist Valley, where Muba explained that fear of Garen's return had led him to abandon his attempt to spread a religion and resume guarding the cave.

Garen entered the Gabad Plane Prison and killed Odin, then offered Cass, its powerful new ruler, the chance to leave. Cass wanted to escape but remained wary of Garen’s motives.

• Garen left Muba in charge and entered the Gabad Plane Prison, where he found a barren world and flew to Azure Fire City.
• Garen confronted Odin, killed both of his Divine Clones, and ordered one of Odin’s subordinates to bring the city’s lord to him.

• Garen offered to take Cass out of the Gabad Plane Prison if he joined the Huaxia Faction or defeated him, and Cass chose to test his strength.

Garen tested a sealing-array technique that could immobilize Cass and suppress his Divine Power and Soul Power, then visited Beirut and Bluefire. The chapter ended with Beirut and Bluefire stunned when Garen said he expected to reach Paragon level in both Fire and Wind within five hundred years.

• Garen used a Wind Binding technique on Cass, who said its suppression resembled Gravity Space and affected both Divine Power and Soul Power.

• Garen said he expected to reach Paragon level in Fire within five hundred years and Wind soon afterward, leaving Beirut and Bluefire astonished.

He then recruited Cass as Bluefire’s Sovereign Emissary and brought Linley’s large group to the Infernal Realm to pursue his plans for gaining strength and experience.
