Yun Che weakened the five Great Demon Lords with Divine Void Finger, killed Vick, and helped defeat the remaining four.

• Yun Che used his mutated Mind-Following Teleportation Talisman to go after Yu, hoping to uncover the system’s secrets and the reason Earth’s people had been transported.

Yun Che tracked Yu across the demon domain and spatial turbulence despite Yu’s master authority and escape treasures. After exhausting Yu’s defenses, Yun Che seized the system’s master authority and chose to fuse it.

• Yun Che obtained the system’s master authority and agreed to fuse it.

After absorbing Master Authority, Yun Che learned that the Divine Martial World’s struggle was a cage-like game designed to awaken Venerable Jingchen, while the God Ancestor remained beyond the system’s reach. As six other heirs entered the Extreme Realm, Venerable Jingchen declared the game finished and Li Ren crossed into the Divine Martial World to confront the God Ancestor.

• Yun Che absorbed Master Authority and discovered that the system’s contest had gathered Divine Soul origin for Venerable Jingchen, while the God Ancestor’s revival remained unexplained.

The Seven Divine Word Successors departed to awaken their exclusive Divine Word Arts before the battle in seven days. Yun Che obtained the Divine Bestowal Seal, granted seals to his allies, and set out to collect the three divine objects needed to awaken his supreme Divine Word Art.

• Wu Bingqiong, Mai Xin, Night Owl, Yun Jin, Mu Xingchen, and Wuwang left the Evergreen Stele area to prepare for the battle at the Evergreen Platform.

He fused it with the other awakening materials to obtain the exclusive Divine Word Art “Release,” then prepared to use it in the Venerable Battle.

• Yun Che learned that the ultimate Sword Dao trial had disabled his protective attributes, then faced the afterimage’s three strikes with the Great No-Sword Dao.
