• Fang Cheng survived the steel bars, killed Mizuma Atsushi, and triggered the appearance of an Evil God Projection as Mizuma Atsushi sacrificed himself and the cultists.

• Fang Cheng came to his senses in a garden and asked Isis whether he had passed the test; she confirmed it and said he was the first person to disgust an Evil God into leaving.

After Evil God Sauce ended the first test, Isis warned Fang Cheng that he had to look at Izanae without falling in love with her. As Izanae’s allure overwhelmed him before he could even see her face, Fang Cheng enlisted Isis to create Eve to help him resist the temptation.

• Fang Cheng showed Tsukikage Hatsuka the Holy Grail, the Little Gold Rod, and the Vajra Pestle, and she agreed to buy the first two.
• Tsukikage Hatsuka said the Vajra Pestle was probably gold-plated and offered only scrap-metal prices, so Fang Cheng kept it.

Fang Cheng sold the Holy Grail and Vajra Pestle through Tsukikage Hatsuka, then discovered his motorcycle had been stolen outside her Izakaya. After leaving, he questioned Asaka Akie about Ultimate Bliss Heaven and learned Ye Yuqing was still present, ending with Ye Yuqing abruptly withdrawing when Fang Cheng teased her.

• Fang Cheng and Hatsuka returned to Flower Street and found his motorcycle stolen; Hatsuka insisted the shop would find it and recover its reputation.
• Fang Cheng invited Hatsuka to his home for a meal, hoping to befriend her, and drove away with Asaka Akie and the exhausted Sato siblings.
• Fang Cheng asked Asaka Akie about Ultimate Bliss Heaven, and she said she had received no blessing, though her appearance had improved; he worried Izanae's gift might have a hidden cost.

After rescuing the Sato Siblings, Fang Cheng brought them to the Training Ground and stayed with Asaka Akie while she arranged her mother’s cremation.
