• He Pingsheng and the others saw eight passages appear after Demon King Tianyuan's death, and Heaven's Lament explained that each passage offered a fated opportunity.
• Heaven's Lament, Demon King Tianyu, and the other Demon Kings entered separate passages; Ming Riyue chose one, and He Pingsheng entered another.
