• Chen Xin and Qian Renxue arrived and tried to intervene, but Destruction God blocked them and ordered them to remain in the God Realm.

• Qian Renxue and Chen Xin tried to stop Evil Sword Immortal, but Destruction God held them back while the Evil Spirit Pearl empowered the God Kings and the Seven Deadly Sins.
• Evil God King, Destruction God, Asura God, Life God, and God of Kindness broke through to Supreme God King, while the Seven Great Sins Gods and the former Rakshasa God became God Kings.
