The Ancient Demon Saints discussed how their incomplete collection of Ancient Heavenly Dragon Talismans was draining Thunder Continent’s origin and planned to distract the Human Race with a small war. After learning of the scheme through Jerome, Xia Ping decided to warn the Human Race and use the resulting attack as a chance to infiltrate the Demon Saint Palace and seize the talismans.

• The Ancient Demon Saints revealed that they had gathered over 2,900 Ancient Heavenly Dragon Talismans but could not locate the remaining forty-six, and they feared provoking Tania by completing the set.
