Meanwhile, Bone Armor chose to pursue the Void Devouring Sky Demon, while Beo dismissed the Mecha activity as panic and left Xue Yan wondering why.

• Lu Bing told the island Chiefs that Li Qingshan had ordered the Alliance to search for the Alien Alliance rather than destroy the Divine Kingdom, and she directed the Mechanical Legion to scout the Sea Chart’s fog.
• Bone Armor’s forces were battered by Mechas and attacks from the void as Bone Armor and Xue Lin discussed the Void Devouring Sky Demon’s methods.

• Beo told Xue Yan that the Formless Sky Demon’s forces were merely panicking because the Divine Kingdom would leave them with no path to victory.

Xue Lin manipulated Xie Sen’s fabricated prophecies to steer the alliance toward a decisive battle, but a vast Torrent of Light erupted and fulfilled Xie Sen’s warning that the alliance would fall.

• Sheng Tian reported that the Divine Kingdom had consumed forty-five islands, but Li Qingshan complained that it had only caught up with his own looting pace and prepared to cast the net.
