• Hu Liena worried that their small group could not withstand the many powerful forces and gods within Ancient Ruins Mountain.

• Zhao Su built a fortified platform at the entrance to Ancient Ruins Mountain and waited for his scattered companions to arrive.
• Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena told Zhao Su that Tang San’s group had gone to hunt a hundred-thousand-year-old sea soul beast near the Myriad Sacred Dragon Palace, where a nearly million-year-old White Dragon had also been seen.
• Zhao Su set the platform moving toward the Myriad Sacred Dragon Palace and left a flag to guide his missing companions and mark the territory as his.

Zhao Su confronted the Red-Clothed Woman, who overwhelmed him and took Zhu Zhuqing away, claiming she would return her when the time came. After the White-Clothed Goddess appeared and assured him Zhu Zhuqing was safe, Zhao Su asked whether she was the system.

• The Red-Clothed Woman challenged Zhao Su and unleashed Seven Transversal Absolutes, revealing a technique far stronger than his fusion skill with Zhu Zhuqing.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s Yin-Yang Spirit Cat carried her to the Red-Clothed Woman, while Ning Rongrong failed to stop her and Zhao Su’s Six Paths Reincarnation Spell was easily shattered.
• The Red-Clothed Woman trapped Zhao Su in a bubble until a voice inside him broke it, and the White-Clothed Goddess appeared from within his body.
• Zhao Su transformed and attacked the Red-Clothed Woman to stop her from taking Zhu Zhuqing, but she and the Dragon Turtle vanished and she promised to return Zhu Zhuqing later.
• The White-Clothed Goddess assured Zhao Su that Zhu Zhuqing would be safe, and Zhao Su asked if she was the system.

The White-Clothed Goddess revealed that the system and its shop were tied to Zhao Su, then vanished after explaining she had brought him to the Douluo Continent. After the sea waterfall disappeared, Zhao Su left for Death Valley and learned Chen Xin was injured but heading there as well.

• The White-Clothed Goddess told Zhao Su that the system was her avatar, its shop was his storage Soul Tool, and she had brought him to the Douluo Continent because he belonged there; she refused to give him the remaining Holy Angel Soul Bones and disappeared.
• The system erased the nearby witnesses’ memories of the Red-Clothed Woman, while those on Ning Rongrong’s protected platform remembered what had happened.
• Zhao Su spent fifteen days searching the sea without finding Bibi Dong, Tang Yuehua, or suitable sea soul beasts, then left for Death Valley after the strange waterfall vanished.
• Shanggu Fu met the group ashore and told Ning Rongrong that Chen Xin had killed his attackers despite being injured and continued toward Death Valley.
• Ning Rongrong worried about Chen Xin, and Zhao Su said Chen Xin’s Seven Kill Sword could handle those attackers and suggested he had gone to Death Valley for a reason.

Zhao Su reunited with Tang San near Death Valley and retaliated against the Tang Sect by destroying it and ordering its affiliated factions attacked.
