Wu Yuan reflected on the vast gulf between Mythics and the Unspeakable, who regarded Mythics as mere details in their own creation.

• Cheng Yu concluded that the seven Demon Emperors wanted the Abyss to fail and planned for the Seventh Great Wall to fall.
• Mammon, Samael, and Lucifer kept up a restrained fight against the Eternal True World's forces, allowing the demons to advance while pretending they could not help.
• Mammon suspected that his fellow emperors might have motives beyond the freedom they shared, while Samael suppressed his desire for a full battle and Lucifer endured acting against his pride.
• Wu Yuan watched the emperors slack off and thought that Mythics treated Holy Spirits and worlds like a painter treated tools and paintings.
• Wu Yuan recalled sensing the Unspeakable after becoming a Holy Spirit and realized that, to them, even Mythics were only an insignificant touch of color.

After ten years of acting against the three Demon Emperors, Cheng Yu learned that the preparations were complete and announced his plan to prepare for the Second War Against the Heavenly Demons.

As the battle for Beijing intensified, Chu Chang faced Barbatos while Cheng Yu learned about the Abyss’s Seventy-Two Demons and the many pillar-ranked demons fighting in the invasion.

• Chu Chang saw Kuang Cang fighting two Heaven Peering Realm Heavenly Demons as their battle damaged the northern wall, which the Demon Race quickly repaired.
