• Qin Hao and Yun Chang realized the Outer Realm Demon Spirits would target Qin Hao if they learned he had become an Ancestral God and planned to leave Heavensea.

• Chen Chengxiu recognized Great Commander Hai Dong and hurried toward Commander Luo Wei and the others.
• Chen Chengxiu reasoned that the commanders might have a treasure valuable enough to persuade Great Commander Hai Dong to rescue them.

Chen Chengxiu begged Great Commander Hai Dong to save him as the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm collapsed, and Hai Dong seized him along with Commander Luo Wei and the other two. The secret realm was destroyed, leaving its other True Gods behind to perish.

• Chen Chengxiu realized he had no treasure to offer Great Commander Hai Dong and considered using his potential and ability to hunt Qin Hao to earn rescue.

• Chen Chengxiu faced the anger of Commander Luo Wei, the Green Demon Commander, and the Lotus Commander after Great Commander Hai Dong rescued him.
• Great Commander Hai Dong transported Chen Chengxiu and the three commanders to a desolate stretch of starry sky and confronted them.
• Commander Luo Wei, the Green Demon Commander, and the Lotus Commander admitted their mistakes and offered Hai Dong piles of treasures.
• Hai Dong rejected Chen Chengxiu's offer to serve him unto death, so Chen Chengxiu promised to kill Qin Hao.
• Hai Dong said Qin Hao would die regardless and gave Chen Chengxiu a chance to live by becoming his slave.

Great Commander Hai Dong enslaved Chen Chengxiu, Commander Luo Wei, the Green Demon Commander, and the Lotus Commander, then ordered them to kill Qin Hao. Commander Luo Wei secretly hoped to seize Qin Hao’s Chaos Peerless Treasures and use one to break free from his Soul Brand.

• Chen Chengxiu accepted enslavement rather than face death, and Great Commander Hai Dong planted demonic qi in his divine soul.
• Commander Luo Wei, the Green Demon Commander, and the Lotus Commander realized Great Commander Hai Dong meant to enslave them and reluctantly submitted.
• Commander Luo Wei privately planned to take Qin Hao’s suspected Chaos Peerless Treasures and use one to remove his Soul Brand.

Great Commander Hai Dong ordered Luo Wei, Green Demon, and Lotus to monitor Qin Hao and kill him if he left the Qiankun Continent, while sending Chen Chengxiu to the Ancient Heavensea Ruins to pursue a breakthrough. Qin Hao returned with the Qiankun Sect’s forces, and Heavenly Martial Ancestor announced that the sect would reward their service in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

• Great Commander Hai Dong ordered Luo Wei, Green Demon, and Lotus to monitor Qin Hao and kill him if he left the Qiankun Continent.

As his companions prepared to pursue the Ancestral God Realm, Qin Hao approached Dongfang Wei, but she turned away, saying they had better not see each other.

• After the others departed, Yun Chang teased Qin Hao about Dongfang Wei, who had stayed behind watching him from afar.
• Qin Hao walked toward Dongfang Wei to address their complicated relationship, but she turned away and said they had better not see each other.

• Yun Chang revealed his eternal True God cultivation, shocking Ancestor Yanyu, Ancestor Xu, Wu Yin, and Gu Xiu.

Before venturing into the Ancient Heavensea Ruins, he asked Ancestor Xu to raise the Heavenly Abyss Sword's grade.

• Qin Hao and Yun Chang returned to Ancestor Yanyu, Ancestor Xu, Wu Yin, and Gu Xiu with their cultivation advanced to half-step Ancestral God and eternal true god, respectively.

• Qin Hao asked Ancestor Xu to reforge the Heavenly Abyss Sword as a half-step Chaos Spirit Treasure so he would be better prepared for the ruins and his return.

Qin Hao learned that Ancestor Xu could not improve the Heavenly Abyss Sword without a chaos spirit treasure, leaving Qin Hao unable to fully wield his strength. He planned to cultivate before heading to the Ancient Heavensea Ruins and sent Yun Chang to remain at the Qiankun Sect.

• Ancestor Xu explained that upgrading the Heavenly Abyss Sword to a Half-Step Chaos Spirit Treasure was beyond his current forging abilities.
• Ancestor Xu said that a chaos spirit treasure, even an incomplete one, could let him reforge the sword, but Qin Hao and his companions had none.
• Yun Chang suggested asking the Qiankun Sect for a chaos spirit treasure, but Qin Hao doubted the sect would spare one amid the Outer Realm Demon Spirits' invasion.
• Qin Hao said the Heavenly Abyss Sword would still serve him until he became an Ancestral God and announced that he would visit his Teacher in three days before traveling to the Ancient Heavensea Ruins.
• Qin Hao ordered Yun Chang to stay behind and cultivate, and urged Ancestor Yanyu, Ancestor Xu, Wu Yin, and Gu Xiu to strengthen themselves before returning to Star Sea Heaven and Earth.
