Zhang Dong defeated Thunder Splendor Venerable after the Venerable revealed a top-tier domain-type Heavy Treasure, then escaped the Cosmic Secret Realm with his own newly acquired treasures. He returned to Human Territory and realized that selling the stolen palace-type and domain-type Heavy Treasures would be difficult.

• Humanity’s leaders speculated about which powerful expert might stand behind Zhang Dong, but he declined to reveal one.
• Origin Ancestor ordered Chaos City Lord to arrange Zhang Dong’s Hong Alliance identity, with authority as a top-tier Cosmic Overlord and status equivalent to a Cosmic Venerable.

• Thunder Splendor Venerable said the Bitter Snow Vine had killed Swamp Erosion Venerable before targeting him, and Banfu Lord realized the situation was troublesome.

The other races investigated the King-level Bitter Snow Vine who had killed a Cosmic Venerable, while Zhang Dong secretly met the Ganwu Kingdom Master to receive payment and trade Heavy Treasures. The Ganwu Kingdom Master concluded that Zhang Dong was the legendary Extremity King.

• Banfu Lord's report about the King-level Bitter Snow Vine reached the Zerg Alliance, which alerted the Demon Race and the Mechanical Race Alliance.
