• Liu Changxu discovered that even Body Integration Experts could extract only small pieces of the planet’s spirit gold and suspected the planet itself was an Innate Spirit Treasure.
• Liu Changxu sent the Expeditionary Army back to the Ruyi Void-Escaping Shuttle, then surrounded the planet with his treasures and used the Great Sun Violet Gold Cauldron’s flames while his treasures devoured its ore.

Liu Changxu found and captured the Golden Treasure Pearl, destroyed its unruly artifact spirit while preserving a trace of its spirituality, and named it the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl. As he began refining it, his family and the Expeditionary Army searched the planetary debris, unaware that a massive horde of rat-shaped Starry Sky Beasts was approaching.
