After ages of cultivation, Luo Feng attempted to break through the limits of Origin World Power and ascend to the Lord Realm. His upheaval drew the attention of the Eternal Land and the five Lord-level beings gathered there.

• The Eternal Land watched Luo Feng's attempted ascension and judged that he was likely to succeed as an eighth Lord.
• The five Lord-level beings gathered around the Eternal Land's round table sensed Luo Feng's emergence and turned their attention toward him.

• After Luo Feng's breakthrough, he stayed in the Endless Hunyuan Space to help prepare a celebration, while Meng Chuan and the others returned to their worlds.
• Meng Chuan questioned Bibi Dong about her conversation with Ruthless, and Bibi Dong left to visit the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Universe before challenging a Weird Immortal King.

Meng Chuan gathered the fortune of Cang, the Heavens and All Realms, and bestowed it on Ye Fan, Wushi, and the Azure Emperor as a safeguard. The blessing could not make them stronger or protect them from an Immortal Emperor’s full power, but it could preserve a faint spark of life if they were truly killed, leaving them a chance to return in the distant future.

• Meng Chuan gathered the fortunes and Dao imprints of Cang, the Heavens and All Realms, and sent their light into Ye Fan, Wushi, and the Azure Emperor.

• Shi Hao sent his Immortal Emperor Mark to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan gathered origin Imprints from Immortal Emperors to refine a Guardian Artifact for Ruthless and Willow God before entering seclusion. He left with three Imprints and planned to collect more, since Shi Hao’s alone would not protect them from an Immortal Emperor-level enemy.

• Meng Chuan told Shi Hao he would use the origin Imprints to create a Guardian Artifact for Ruthless and Willow God, not Ye Fan and the others.
• Shi Hao offered an additional Imprint for Willow God, but Meng Chuan said the Imprint he had requested would protect both her and Ruthless.

He told her the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were again threatened by the Weird Race, and the chapter ended with Willow God expressing faith that Meng Chuan would succeed in breaking through.

• Meng Chuan sent Emperors' Protection Imprints to Ruthless and Willow God, reserving special protection for those likely to face Weird Immortal Emperors.

• Meng Chuan declined Willow God's offer to see the others and told her that Shi Hao was doing well.

• Meng Chuan asked Xiao Nannan to stay with Bibi Dong and the others while he and Tai went away, and Xiao Nannan agreed to live with Big Sister.

• Ruthless, Ye Fan, and the others saw Meng Chuan disappear in an instant, with no sign of what would happen next.
