Chen Qingyu witnessed Emperor Yuan’s corpse revive as a black-robed being and concluded that Emperor Yuan’s dark side had secretly manipulated the Desolate Continent’s turmoil. The mysterious figure had left after Emperor Yuan’s death, and Chen Qingyu departed without learning his true purpose.

• Chen Qingyu watched Emperor Yuan die, then saw a black-robed version of him rise from the corpse and vanish.
• Chen Qingyu inferred that Emperor Yuan’s other will had manipulated Saint King Tianchen, Wu Chenkong, and others, and had helped bring down the Great Void Primal Spirit.

• Chen Qingyu accepted that the figure had departed and that the truth might remain unknown, then flew away.

Chen Qingyu returned Emperor Yuan’s legacy to the Ninth Ancestor and explained that Emperor Yuan’s heart demon had manipulated the war before leaving the Desolate Continent. He then moved to hold the nonhuman holy lands accountable for the Divine Capital’s great calamity, leaving a Spirit Race Saint faced with two choices: die or surrender his power.

• Chen Qingyu gave Emperor Yuan’s treasures to the Ninth Ancestor and shared his deductions about Emperor Yuan’s heart demon.

• The hooked-nosed Saint protested that both choices would force him to die, but the Spirit Race’s ancestor said he had to pay for his past actions.

Chen Qingyu set out rules for nonhuman races to enter the Land of the Four Realms and outlined a new order for the Desolate Continent. He proposed an alliance-run academy system, and the Saints began weighing its costs and benefits before a vote.

• Chen Qingyu allowed the holy lands of the nonhuman races to develop in the Land of the Four Realms, provided humans and nonhumans coexisted peacefully.
• When human Saints objected to nonhuman entry, Chen Qingyu said the Desolate Continent would eventually expand overseas, and the human Saints accepted his decision.
• Chen Qingyu established the Saint Alliance as the highest governing institution, gave Extreme Transformation Realm Saints voting rights, and granted himself veto and final-decision powers.
