• Xiao Chen reflected on the Three Sovereigns Mirror as Meng Chuan reminded him that a cultivator's own strength mattered more than any treasure.

Meng Chuan examined the Lord Gods and learned that their power came from the Great Daos they embodied, making them impossible to eliminate without damaging the world. He also discovered that the Balance Law prevented his True Body from entering, leaving the Lord Gods and the world’s balance as problems he could not simply resolve by force.

• Meng Chuan sensed the twenty-six Lord Gods and recognized them as cold, will-bearing Great Dao Laws that ruled the God and Demon Races through faith.
• Meng Chuan concluded that the Lord Gods’ union with their Great Daos gave them power approaching the Supreme One realm, though he could still kill them easily.

Meng Chuan appeared to the Human Race Powerhouses as the returned Human Ancestor and learned that Fengyun Wuji would soon lose his emotions and memories as he became a Lord God. He stopped Fengyun Wuji from confronting the Blood Clan Ancestor and offered to preserve Fengyun Wuji's humanity, just as a vast figure appeared beyond the Boundary.

• The Human Race Powerhouses mistook Meng Chuan's Divine Sense for the Human Ancestor after the Human Ancestor's Protection responded strongly to him.

• Meng Chuan used the River of Time to evade and deflect the Lord Gods’ attacks while avoiding killing them and provoking the Balance Law.
• Meng Chuan trapped Fengyun Wuji and three other Lord Gods in his Great Dao hand and swallowed them into the Jade Disc.
