Di Nian Evil Spirit saw his sworn enemies defending him and wondered whether it was a near-death hallucination.

• Divine King posted a call to arms, urging players to defend Di Nian Bully and defeat it themselves rather than let the Bei Yuan Tribe kill it.
• Players across Monster World abandoned their activities and converged on the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, while guild leaders including Ye Xiao, Lao Mo, Pirate King, and Bent-Hook Old Man rallied their forces.

As Di Nian Evil Spirit struggled to repair the High Tower without Evil Eye, Evil Eye returned through Exceeding Authority and immediately resumed its work.
