• Black Universe Founder brought Dongguan to the Tilted Peak Realm and urged him to finish comprehending the Space Law so he could travel more easily.

• First True God and Third True Lord discussed Jia Yu’s death and considered targeting Bai Yu while avoiding a direct fight with Black Universe Founder.

• Chaos City Lord visited Dongguan, answered his question about dense chaos flow, and said he had come to discuss the Star Banner.

Dongguan learned that Upper Star Banners could strengthen the Small Star Formation and make it aid cultivation, so the Chaos City Lord sought his banner for the Human Race. They agreed that Dongguan would help trade for the Bai Yu Master's banner in exchange for formation access and a share of its use.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Gold attacked the Lord of Flint and the Lord of Lang Kuang while seeking Bai Yu Master, then left when his target appeared, prompting the Lord of Ice Peak to pursue him.
