• Wei Chen changed the subject to Ning Chuan’s overdue title as a Heavenly King, and Lu Mengyue explained how such titles were used.
• Lu Mengyue proposed “Eastern King,” but Qin Ya argued that Galaxy University mattered more to Ning Chuan than the Donglin Administrative Region.

Ning Chuan left three women to debate what title should represent him, then told Chu Longye and Mo Lan that he had killed all seven Sea Realm cultivators. Horse Road Mountain agreed to credit him 3,000 Dragon Blood Pills for the killings, and Ning Chuan asked how many divine sons and saintesses he would have to kill to clear his remaining debt.

• Ning Chuan called Chu Longye and joked about saving on communication fees before confirming that he had rescued the trapped Federation cultivators and killed all seven Sea Realm cultivators.

After learning that peerless geniuses might not arrive for years, Ning Chuan eagerly anticipated Martial Star’s revival, but the discussion turned to the Martial Star Peace Conference and a powerful figure connected to him.

• Ning Chuan introduced Bai Qi and the others as candidates for Horse Road Mountain’s backing, arguing that their cooperation would help them seize powerful orthodox inheritances.
• Mo Lan and Chu Longye discussed whether to accept Ning Chuan’s request, and Mo Lan concluded that Horse Road Mountain had already lost the initiative because Ning Chuan might rival Yue Hao.
• Chu Longye told Mo Lan to contact Ning Chuan after the Universe Broadcasting Group cut off his call because his account had run out of credit.

After learning that the peerless geniuses would not arrive for at least three years, Ning Chuan returned to the Federation as news of his victory over seven Sea Realm powerhouses spread across Martial Star and the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom. The factions preparing to descend on Martial Star began weighing ways to obtain the Prison-Suppressing Manor's supreme inheritance from him.

• Ning Chuan asked the assembled leaders what other strategies the Federation could use to stop the Law Spirits’ blood sacrifices.

Ning Chuan approved a plan to move most of the Federation’s population into massive base cities so the military could respond faster to Law Spirit attacks. As citizens reacted to the coming war with trust in Ning Chuan and resolve to enlist, the Federation began preparing for the relocation and the Law Spirits’ counterattack.

• Wei Chen explained that base cities could shorten response times to blood sacrifices, while food shortages and the risk of Law Spirits uniting made the plan dangerous.
• Ning Chuan declared the base city plan feasible and ordered three neighboring cities prepared first, with most of the Federation’s population moved before autumn.
• People across the Federation discussed the coming war and placed their trust in Ning Chuan and the Federation’s leaders.

After Ning Chuan announced his title, Quelling Chaos, factions across the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom and Martial Star debated his ambition and whether he could stop the Law Spirits’ blood sacrifices. At the military headquarters, Ning Chuan rejected a purely defensive strategy and ordered the Federation to take the initiative against the Law Spirits.
