As the fighting escalated, the jade pendant from Ying Tian unleashed overwhelming spiritual power that devastated Little White’s clan and stopped the falling Spirit Hall members.

• Qian Xunji assigned Bibi Dong to lead a mission to Devil Island, escorted by four elders and the Angel Legion.

• Bo Saixi launched a powerful wave at the spiritual barrier, but a pitch-black rift tore open in space before it reached the defenders.

• The Angel God arrived, told Zhu Wu that the Divine Kings had ordered an investigation, and heard Qian Daoliu ask whether Zhu Wu would face trouble.

After Sea God’s death, the Angel God deferred judgment until the God Realm Committee could investigate, while Zhu Wu protected Sea God Island and claimed Sea God’s remains and weapon as spoils.

• Zhu Wu told the Angel God he would return to Spirit City after recuperating to accept the God Realm’s decision, then vanished.
• The Angel God used Sea God’s blood to restore Bo Saixi’s martial soul and hoped to win the loyalty of Sea God Island’s residents.
