• Blue Brilliance Demonic Octopus told Jiang Xiu that the Sea Princess had fled deeper into the ocean with clans loyal to the Sea God rather than fight humanity, because Huo Yuhao had once saved her daughter.

• Jiang Xiu extracted Feng Linwan’s shadow, sent the mecha prodigy to work under the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, and discovered that Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai was in the Star Luo Empire.

• Jiang Xiu examined Dark Bell's treasury map and focused on the Diamond Snare, the Star Luo Empire's National Artifact.
