• Xiao Meng explained her intense feelings for Xiao Yan and sent Amon the Formless Hand technique and her summary of the Dou Technique system.
• Xiao Meng revealed the Flame of Fate, used it to burn away host Xiao Meng, and took her fate so she could approach Xiao Yan in her own body rather than as a parasite.

• Amon secretly left the Inner Court basin, flew into the mountain forest, and set out to fill his empty avatar slots by gathering soul power and recruiting magical beast allies.

Xiao Meng helped him plan the infiltration but discovered that the other Amons had voted to strip her of referendum rights and prevent her from forming deep mental connections.

• A Spirit Worm merged with the Fallen Heart Flame Amon, who split off an avatar to replace the original flame while the other Amons merged and explored the magma.
• Amon ambushed a Fire Lizardman, implanted it with Spirit Worms, and returned to merge with his Main Body, which considered seeking a Bone Chilling Flame before traveling north.

• After descending for three days and passing through a spatial fault, the Fire Lizardman emerged from the magma into a vast, empty world.

Amon transformed into A-Meng, reached the Ancient God Cave Mansion, and studied its seal before Zhu Kun attacked and apparently killed him. Zhu Kun then found a Jade Slip among Amon’s remains and watched a recording of his daughter being chased by a demonic wolf, but the scene ended before he learned what happened.
