Lin Fan escaped the Dark Cage with help from his other self and returned to his body, where he kindled divine fire and reached the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm.

• Lin Fan realized that the fires of life and death could form a frame for embracing and assimilating every other Dao, extending the path he had already begun in the Inscription Realm.
