• Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Ice Bear King froze all four attackers.

• Powerful auras outside the cave faded, and Huo Yuhao realized they were dormant Soul Power imprints rather than living enemies.
• The Rakshasa God's remnant soul appeared and asked Huo Yuhao to destroy Tang San, explaining her hatred and her connection to the Angel God.
• Huo Yuhao agreed, and the Rakshasa God sacrificed her remaining divine power and consciousness to restore Bibi Dong and aid Huo Yuhao in refining her as a puppet.

• Huo Yuhao vowed to destroy Tang San for the Rakshasa God and himself, stored Bibi Dong in the Undead Demi-Plane, and left the palace.
