After King Jiangliu outlined the coming war, Lin Chenxing revealed himself to Liliya as the Nine Tribulations World Lord who had helped the Baishui Pavilion. He asked her to keep his identity known only to its upper ranks and offered the complete Nine Tribulations Lightning Sutra, but Liliya chose to keep challenging the Nine Tribulations Realm.

• Venerable Hewu and Venerable Mingshe agreed to let World Lords from both sides enter the secret realm and face off, after Hewu spotted Lin Chenxing’s clones.
• A Monster Race squad of twenty Peak World Lords stopped Lin Chenxing’s spaceship and demanded an inspection, while Hewu explained the Venerables’ arrangement to him.
