• Planetary Technology · Xu Huaizhi, Deep Blue Allure · Zhou Ruolan, and the Great Sage Sihui watched the retreat, while Sihui prepared to confront the growing Crusader forces.

Zhou Heng chose not to intervene as Longevity Crusaders Army Lord · Karenna attacked Headquarters · Hope Radiance, and went to the Clone Cultivation Base to secure his cloning data. There, Supreme Council Councilor · Roaring Hedru confronted Karenna and prepared to use Transcendence's Strength so Bose Koppfield could finish transmitting the data.

Zhou Heng received Blue Sky’s advice on using his clone data to create self-containment virus source species, but Fate Hint warned that pursuing this immediately could expose his epic path and cost him a crucial advantage. He chose to prepare for a showdown with Su Shuangxue five years later, leaving the mystery of the Time Interstices unresolved.
