• Yan disguised himself as a merchant, entered Gengxin City, and spent more than a month refining the remaining Ocean Divine Power from his body.
• Yan reflected on how badly Poseidon's divine consciousness had outmatched him and concluded that he needed far greater strength to contend with powerful gods.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was annihilated, Bibi Dong learned that Spirit Hall had suffered far heavier losses than expected in both assaults.

• Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that Spirit Hall had achieved its goals despite losing many Soul Masters, but Bibi Dong stopped her from advocating for Yan and forbade her to mention him again.
