• The Lord of Bliss doubted he could catch Wonder Butterfly because its Space Leap far exceeded the range of his own teleportation, but he agreed to meet Explorer in Emperor Tomb Village.
• The Lord of Bliss traveled to the agreed channel and found more than a hundred renowned Players gathered, including Throat of Defying Fate, the Mist Legion Commander, Xiang Weisha, Pioneer, and Bricklayer.

• At rotation number 23, the Lord of Bliss used teleportation to overtake Wonder Butterfly and punch it in the cheek, sending it flying.
