• Vian revealed that she came from the Senluo Realm and that her husband had been a deity half a step into the Ninth Tier.

With humanity given only one day before the fiend arrived, the kingdom descended into chaos as the Dawn Bringers prepared to fight.

• More than a decade after the Devil Race invasion, Zhu Yan found Qian Miaomiao on Dengfeng Island and urged her to find A Qing because a new crisis was far worse than the invasion.

After the Dragon Emperor stopped the World-Ending Fiend at the cost of his Dragon Corpse, the people of Jiuzhou mourned Feng Yan and wondered whether he could return. Three years later, Jian Fang and Feng Jun discussed Feng Yan’s mysterious Ghoul origins, while Feng Yan regained consciousness in an unknown place, badly weakened but alive.

Lin Chao returned to the snowy mountains to investigate the missing snow lotus, then placed a Medium Extraordinary Fragment to draw out the being who had taken it. At Gui Mountain, a Temple Master recognized a damaged statue as the Dao Ancestor and ordered the temple renamed Dao Yi Temple.

• Lin Chao discovered that someone had taken the snow lotus he left on the snowy mountain ten thousand years earlier and deduced that the thief had been injured by his restriction.
• Lin Chao placed a Medium Extraordinary Fragment atop the mountain, hoping to attract the snow-lotus thief, then went to Gui Mountain.

• A young Daoist told the Temple Master that they had unearthed a damaged statue, and the Temple Master suddenly declared it the Dao Ancestor.
• The Temple Master ordered Wang Yue to replace the temple's statue and rename the Qingxu Temple Dao Yi Temple, despite Wang Yue's concerns about leaving the Qingwei lineage.

Lin Chao repaid the Dao Ancestor by restoring the broken statue at Dao Yi Temple, prompting the Daoist priest to take Wang Yue to the North Sea in search of an opportunity. Meanwhile, Tang Ke learned that the Fukong Cult had tried to kill him after he found ancient murals and joined forces with believers of Father God, who were preparing to oppose the cult’s plans in the East.

• The burly man told Tang Ke that the Fukong Cult was heading to a snowy mountain in the East and that the Father God Cult intended to stop it.

Tang Ke joined Jie Qiu and the Father God Cult after learning that the Fukong Cult’s God of the Void was a sleeping chimpanzee. In Liezhuguo, the Fukong Cult prepared an expedition to Liuli Snow Mountain and developed stronger Super Soldiers, unaware that the great ape behind them had become conscious.

• Jie Qiu told Tang Ke that the Fukong Cult’s God of the Void was a sleeping chimpanzee, and Tang Ke agreed to join the Father God Cult to avenge his father.

• The kindly old man told Tang Ke and Jie Qiu that the Fukong Cult had sent five Super Soldiers and urged them to prioritize their safety.
• Li Yaqian took Tang Ke and Jie Qiu around town and questioned whether Super Soldiers could truly be as powerful as people claimed.
• A surprised voice called out to Li Yaqian.

In Liezhuguo, Qi Xueyan experienced unexplained pain and strange events as a slumbering Great Ape died, and she woke to find an unfamiliar book in her bedroom.

• Li Yaqian reunited with Liu Yao, watched Liu Yuqing’s seemingly real flight footage, and heard Zhang Shaoqin identify Tang Ke as having Spirit Warrior talent.
• Na Ke and her group confronted Jie Qiu and mocked Great Xia martial arts, so Zhang Shaoqin defeated a burly Super Soldier with one punch and revealed his name and master.
