• City Lord Sui Shi read reports about Black Rain, an Eternal True God disguised as a Void True God, and speculated about his intentions.

After Dongguan escaped Qu Shi City’s great array, the Sui Shi City Lord and Divine Lord Blood Prisoner suspected he was a reincarnator and debated whether to appease or kill him. Dongguan emerged outside the city, resolved to find a safe place to break through, and began planning how to develop his own techniques.

• The Sui Shi City Lord, Divine Lord Blood Prisoner, and the Black Rain Society president failed to explain how Dongguan had escaped the city’s array and considered whether he had used a bloodline power.

• Sui Shi City Lord offered 150 million cosmic sand to locate and kill Dongguan, warning Divine Lord Blood Prisoner that he would make him pay if the plan failed.
• Divine Lord Blood Prisoner agreed to recruit experts and seek the Master of the Star Correspondence Tower’s help with locating Dongguan.

• Divine Lord Blood Prisoner told the Sui Shi City Lord and the President of the Black Rain Society that the Master of the Star Correspondence Tower had found new coordinates, and they chose five Eternal True Gods for the search.

A mysterious Chaos Master intervened to save Blood Prisoner, leaving Dongguan to capture the President of the Black Rain Society and Divine Lord Mirror Scale.

• Sui Shi City Lord used the city formation to launch hundreds of Eternal True Gods toward the battle, while the Thunder Chamber of Commerce president watched and wondered about Dongguan’s identity.
