• Xia Ping learned that the War Horn was ownerless because its artifact spirit had been destroyed, and that taking it would eventually cause the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm to collapse.

• Xia Ping claimed he had been lost in a spatial-temporal current for months, and Gu Rulai inwardly dismissed the excuse as a lie.

Xia Ping and Gu Rulai met after the battle in the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm, each concealing his suspicions and intentions. Xia Ping refused to take Gu Rulai back into the core region, and the two left for a meal in Mysterious Yellow City while pretending to be cordial.

• Gu Rulai recalled Xia Ping's overwhelming strength and suppressed his urge to attack him.
• Gu Rulai questioned Xia Ping about his whereabouts and suspected that he had found a supreme-grade saint artifact in the mystic realm's core region.

Later, Saints discovered that the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm’s core had been emptied, and a Primordial Ancient Saint concluded that someone had taken its treasures first.

• Xia Ping told Green Ox and Cat Immortal that Gu Rulai’s reincarnation made him too difficult to kill, so he had chosen to keep him alive and monitor him.
• Xia Ping explained that the fully unsealed Samsara Pen could erase Gu Rulai’s split souls and prevent his reincarnation, but he could not yet unleash its full power.

• More than ten days later, Saints learned that the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm’s Divine Barrier had collapsed and its core region was exposed.
• Saints rushed to the core region but found it stripped of treasures, and a Primordial Ancient Saint judged that someone had looted it before them.

The Angel Race learned that Saint Fengdu had killed its elite with the Chaos Bell and likely taken the War God's inheritance from the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm. The Angels resented their loss, but the imminent Abyss Demon invasion made them unwilling to provoke conflict with the Human Race.

• A spear-wielding demigod-level Angel raged over the Angel Race's failed plan and vowed not to spare the Human Race Saint who had killed its elite.

• The blond Angel lamented that Fengdu had appeared in an era when the Abyss Demons' threat kept the races from fighting over his inheritance.

The Angel Race’s demigod-level angels secretly planned to kill Fengdu Saint and reclaim the War God’s inheritance before other races learned of it. In Mysterious Yellow City, Xia Ping and his companions inventoried the vast haul from the Sound Pattern Mountain Mystic Realm, including rare Saint medicines and cosmic ores.

• Cat Immortal admired the hoard of rare cosmic ores, many of which could serve as materials for powerful Saint artifacts.

Xia Ping studied a dark-golden Abyss Token and realized it could open a passage into the Abyss World, where he hoped to learn more about the Abyss Demons. After learning that the Angel Race was plotting against him, he decided to enter the Abyss World and hide while continuing to cultivate.

• Xia Ping considered letting Little Gold devour the cosmic-grade ores and examined the treasures taken from the demigods.

• The Abyss Demon Gate recognized him as Strength Demon King and opened the way into the Abyss World.
• Xia Ping stepped through the gate into the Abyss.

• The angels learned that other peak races were also investigating Fengdu Saint and agreed not to alert him.
• The three-eyed angel ordered the Angel Race to wait for an opportunity to exploit Fengdu Saint's weaknesses and kill him.

Xia Ping entered the Abyss World and found its dense demonic energy, hostile environment, and powerful demons made it a near-impossible place for the myriad races to conquer. He remained unsure where he had arrived and resolved to explore the abyss.

• Xia Ping passed through the Abyssal Demon Gate and arrived in a forested mountain region filled with dense Abyssal Demonic Qi.
• Xia Ping realized the abyss’s deadly environment allowed demons to retreat and recover after defeats, making them a persistent threat to the Present World Universe.
• Xia Ping considered finding a lasting solution to the abyss but gave up when he could think of none.
• Xia Ping looked up and discovered forty-nine sleeping Sunshine Demons, each at the level of an Invincible Saint.
