• Shi Yunfeng recounted how a great bell, a divine tower, and a damaged divine disc had appeared and killed many of the Eight Domains' Venerables and Deities.
• Willow God explained that she had not confronted the three artifacts because she was too weak to seize them and feared provoking their owners.
• Meng Chuan told Willow God he would destroy the attackers if they returned and give her the three artifacts.

Meng Chuan discussed the Dharma Artifacts and Little Pagoda’s missing tiers before traveling to the Stone Kingdom Imperial Capital. There, he saw Little Nonpoint ruling from the Central Heavenly Palace and felt relieved that the young man had grown up.

• Little Pagoda asked Meng Chuan for one of the Dharma Artifacts and revealed that the two-tiered pagoda was part of his shattered body.

• Shi Hao asked Meng Chuan to avenge him and threatened to enlist Willow God if Meng Chuan refused.

• After Meng Chuan knocked Shi Hao on the head three times, Shi Hao realized he was hinting at a better method and eagerly asked him to explain it.

Shi Hao consolidated Stone Kingdom by rewarding his loyal supporters and suppressing those who had colluded with outsiders. Meng Chuan offered to help him advance faster, but Shi Hao's Cultivation Assistant System revealed a startling new task.

• Shi Hao started the system mission and watched it analyze him and create an identical, cold-faced double.
• Meng Chuan explained that System Shi Hao shared Shi Hao’s body, divine power, spiritual strength, techniques, and battle experience, though he lacked a second Supreme Bone.
• Shi Hao suggested making thousands of copies to conquer the Eight Domains, and System Shi Hao punched him for dreaming.
