The Supreme Will controlled Yu Jiemo’s Stone Men body and fought through Liu Dajun’s dungeon, while viewers reconsidered Liu Dajun as an ordinary person much like themselves. After defeating the guardian Liu Dajun and obtaining a fragment, the Supreme Will wondered what to do with it.

• The Supreme Will left the instance and gathered Stone Men, intending to experiment with the fragment and draw in the Demon Race’s upper ranks.
• Big Pineapple located the instance and asked Wolong and Wenhe to bring help; Wenhe led two thousand Dark Tigas toward him.
• The Supreme Will emerged after three hours and had a Stone Man swallow the fragment, which formed a protective barrier and severed the mental link.
• Liu Dajun took control of the Stone Man, opened his eyes, and asked whether this was another new epoch as Big Pineapple and the Dark Tigas filled the sky.

Liu Dajun revived after the Stone Man Supreme Will killed the Stone Man who had absorbed his fragment, revealing that the Stone Man had cleared Liu Dajun’s dungeon. Big Pineapple attacked to reclaim the fragment but was badly injured, while Wenhe’s Dark Tigas bombarded the Stone Man; Xu Shilun, Liu Dajun, and Yu Jiemo watched from Yu Jiemo’s soul world.

• Liu Dajun revived with memories ending at his previous death and realized he had prepared technological safeguards in his soul.
• The Stone Man Supreme Will killed the Stone Man who had absorbed Liu Dajun’s fragment, then retrieved the glowing fourth-stage fragment from the rubble.

• Xu Shilun, Liu Dajun, and Yu Jiemo looked at one another in silence within Yu Jiemo’s soul world.

Liu Dajun revived in Yu Jiemo’s inner world, where he and Xu Shilun struggled to understand one another. Liu Dajun’s explanation that the newly revived had no power helped Yu Jiemo realize the Supreme Will was controlling his body, while the Xu Shilun before him was an impostor with fragments of the original’s memories.

• The Supreme Will swallowed Liu Dajun’s fragments, and Liu Dajun revived in Yu Jiemo’s inner world.
• Xu Shilun recognized Liu Dajun vaguely and tentatively called him “Brother Jun,” prompting Liu Dajun to remember their violent past.
• Yu Jiemo asked Liu Dajun how he had entered the inner world and what was happening outside, but Liu Dajun said he had only just revived and knew nothing.
• Liu Dajun explained that people who had just revived had no power, leading Yu Jiemo to conclude that the Supreme Will controlled his body and that Xu Shilun was an impostor.
• Outside, the stone man’s body, controlled by the Supreme Will, floated into the air inside a glowing barrier.

Big Pineapple, Wenhe, and the Dark Tigas attacked the Stone Man, unaware that the Stone Men's Supreme Will was using the assault to absorb Liu Dajun's fragments and strengthen his barrier. The Supreme Will revealed his plan to devour the Stone Men, become the sole survivor, and earn Su Mo's attention, then challenged the Demon Race as his barrier reached its limit.

• Big Pineapple and Wenhe saw that the Stone Man had absorbed Liu Dajun's power and fragments, so Wenhe ordered the Dark Tigas to keep attacking and called for ten thousand more.
• The Stone Man's barrier repeatedly shattered and reformed, growing stronger as the Supreme Will absorbed and digested Liu Dajun's fragments.
• The Supreme Will considered the Stone Man's body expendable because he had already hidden Yu Jiemo's soul in his own soul space and expected to gather millions of Stone Men while the floodwaters remained.
• The Supreme Will planned to devour all the Stone Men, become the sole survivor, and serve Su Mo to secure his own survival.
• After the barrier stopped growing stronger and could endure the Dark Tigas' attacks for half a minute, the Supreme Will rose and demanded to know whether the Demon Race had finished attacking.

Wenhe and Big Pineapple struggled to damage the Supreme Will, so they decided to attack the Stone Men’s collective consciousness with soul and mental attacks. As the Dark Tigas and Big Pineapple launched their assault, the Supreme Will charged toward Wenhe to stop him.

• Big Pineapple fought the Supreme Will inside the collective consciousness while the Dark Tigas attacked from outside, causing countless Stone Men to collapse.
• After ten minutes, the Supreme Will destroyed Big Pineapple’s soul, and Big Pineapple’s memories, ideas, and thoughts spread through the collective consciousness.

Big Pineapple’s dispersed memories overwhelmed the Supreme Will, and their souls fused into a new Fourth Stage being with conflicting concern for the Stone Men and Demon Race. Su Mo considered the being’s potential, while Yu Jiemo found yet another Big Pineapple in his mental world.

• Big Pineapple’s soul particles spread his memories throughout the Supreme Will’s consciousness, overwhelming its defenses as the Dark Tigas attacked.
• The Supreme Will’s soul aggregate burst apart, and the Dark Tigas repeatedly mixed its fragments with Big Pineapple’s soul particles before their attacks finally stopped.

• Su Mo considered cultivating and harvesting the new being, while Yu Jiemo saw another Big Pineapple appear in his mental world.

The Supreme Will halted Wenhe and brought Big Pineapple, Liu Dajun, Xu Shilun, and Yu Jiemo out of Yu Jiemo’s inner world.

• Wenhe told the Supreme Will that he could not give up the Demon Emperor position without consulting Wolong and doubted the Supreme Will had truly found him.
• The Supreme Will said he had found Wolong and offered to let Wenhe leave for one month, threatening to kill Wenhe’s companions if he failed to return or step down.

• After two more hours of flight, Xu Shilun told Wenhe that his tight grip was making his king uncomfortable.

• When the agreed time arrived, the Supreme Will told the other three that their companions had abandoned them and said he would take the position of Demon Emperor himself.

The Supreme Will killed Big Pineapple and Liu Dajun, then imprisoned Yu Jiemo while keeping the livestream running.
