Key Plot Points and Events

• Dongfang Chen confronts Shen Wanning over their former marriage pact, expecting her to acknowledge their relationship and condemn her supposed betrayal.
• Shen Wanning coldly rejects the significance of the marriage pact. Because she selectively accepted memories from her previous life after reincarnation, she does not regard her past relationship with Dongfang Chen as part of her current identity.
• Humiliated and enraged, Dongfang Chen threatens to destroy the Primordial Immortal Hall and seize it for the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect.
• Shen Wanning reveals that she intends to kill him. She summons hundreds of stars and uses the Primordial Immortal Hall’s damaged Immortal Artifact—nicknamed the “Firewood Stick”—to intensify the attack.
• Dongfang Chen survives the initial barrage by burning through numerous powerful treasures and trump cards, but the cost is enormous. Shen Wanning continues waiting for the ideal moment to deliver a decisive strike.
• Outside the battlefield, Xiang Shaochong and two allies wait for Dongfang Chen and instead encounter Qin Luo, who arrives through the same spatial passage.

• Qin Luo kills Yang Hong and Yi Haoran in rapid succession, converting their Fortune Points into Villain Points worth 9 billion and 13 billion respectively.
• Xiang Shaochong realizes he is completely outmatched and attempts to flee, but a sudden arrival—described as “one hundred billion”—creates a powerful shockwave that knocks him back into the Human Emperor Banner.

• Overwhelming strength and strategic patience: The heroes combine Qin Luo’s superior force with Shen Wanning’s careful timing to prevent Dongfang Chen from escaping or summoning greater support.
• People as resources: The chapter’s recurring “ingredients in one pot” metaphor reflects Qin Luo’s view of enemies as a combined harvest of kills, treasures, and Fortune Points.

Important Character Interactions

Chapter Summary: Covering Up the Truth and Luring Lei Yuan into the Trap

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Myriad Forms Immortal Sect’s experts attempt to observe or contact Dongfang Chen through a passage, but the passage abruptly vanishes along with his presence. The sect master realizes that Dongfang Chen has died.
• Qin Luo receives all of Dongfang Chen’s Fortune Points—66 billion Villain Points—and decides that provoking the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect is acceptable.
• The system proposes concealing the truth and framing another powerful faction. Qin Luo agrees, causing divination within the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect to reveal a blurred image of a swordsman using the aura of the Voidreturn Sword.
• Because the Voidreturn Sword Sect is already the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect’s sworn enemy, the sect master concludes that it murdered Dongfang Chen and immediately declares war.
• The Voidreturn Sword Sect is confused and denies involvement after investigating internally. However, the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect refuses to believe them, allowing Qin Luo’s deception to successfully ignite conflict between the two major factions.
• The Myriad Forms Immortal Sect orders Wu Chengming to identify Dongfang Chen’s killer. Believing Lei Yuan knows the truth, Wu Chengming turns against him.
• Wu Chengming, Mu Lang, and Qi Cong pursue Lei Yuan, attacking him relentlessly and driving him toward the Blood Domain. Lei Yuan believes entering it is his only chance to survive.
• Qin Luo uses 10 billion Villain Points to create a special spatial passage that lures Lei Yuan into the Falling Star Formation. Lei Yuan mistakes the passage for an escape route and enters it.

They immediately attempt to escape, triggering a fierce battle between the five Blood Beasts and the three intruders. The fight becomes a temporary stalemate, with the cleaners trying to break through and the Blood Beasts attempting to contain them.
