• Su Ge found Da Ming and Er Ming and persuaded them to help search, with Da Ming agreeing in part because Su Ge could protect Xiao Wu in the future.
• After more than twenty days without finding a spatial-type Soul Beast or the Golden Tortoiseshell, Su Ge studied Soul Ring absorption and formed a plan that could raise the ages of his previous rings.

Su Ge abandoned his search for his original target Soul Beast and decided to obtain his sixth Soul Ring by targeting the three Qianjun Ant Emperors.
