Lin Jin and Mu Xi searched the Far North Glaciers for the source of an Extreme Yang aura to prepare Mu Xi's future Spirit Soul. At sunset, they discovered a Fusang Tree appearing and rapidly aging, while the Blazing Sun within Mu Xi responded to it.

• Mu Xi's Blazing Sun emerged of its own accord as she stepped toward the aging tree.

• Ha Luosa revealed that he had come to take Tang Ziran and the others for their research on an inhibitor, then ordered Huo Tian to hand them over.

• Huo Tian used his Seven-Colored Lotus flames to destroy Ha Luosa's undead creatures and clashed with Ha Luosa's sword aura.
• Ha Luosa donned his Battle Armor and attacked Huo Tian with gray flames, Light Crossing, and the Law of Death.
• Ha Luosa explained that he wanted Huo Tian's Five-Word Battle Armor for one of his Twelve Undead Knights, so he could use its power to pursue the realm of a True God.
• Huo Tian rejected Ha Luosa's offer to become a God's Knight and began building power like a God-Slaying Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell about to detonate.
