• Transcendent beings began calling Li Si Kane the Controller of All Things, a title Li Si accepted with confidence.

• Li Si gained the Controller of All Things specialty and milestone, which increased his Chaos Faith Power.
• Beneath Dan'erluo Port, an old believer prayed to Havaro and transformed into a mindless legendary Torture Demon.

• Li Si used his magic to reveal dangerous Space Rifts and Spatial Turbulence around himself.
• Li Si concluded that the spatial anomaly was likely connected to Havaro’s scheme and prepared to investigate the rifts.

After discovering that the World Tree's power could withstand the Death Domain, he used it to shield himself and took the fight into close combat, leaving the clash ongoing.

• Li Si chose to face Havaro's Divine Avatar alone while keeping the spatial gap stable and Dan'erluo Port safe.

• Li Si restrained the Divine Avatar with spatial chains and wore it down, using the World Tree's life and natural power to overcome its death aura.
• Li Si destroyed the Divine Avatar in emerald flames, then transformed the flames into a rain of life that blessed Dan'erluo Port and granted players a special specialty.
• Maurice and Lisa joined Li Si on Kane Floating City; Lisa checked that he was unharmed, and Maurice apologized for failing to uncover the hidden ritual.
• Li Si told Maurice that the ritual's placement in the gap between spaces suggested outside help, and reasoned that the heretics had likely realized he had returned.
