• Li Qiang summoned the Twin Spirit and Ghost Venerables for help, but they could decipher only a few characters and could not explain how to escape.
• Little White led Li Qiang and the others downward, where Li Qiang discovered that a divine restraint sealed the purple planet and prevented them from leaving.
• The group descended onto a strange water-covered plain of purple and blue-green plants, and Devil Venerable Chiming revealed that the silent world contained abundant life.
• After flying through the grasslands and unusual forests, Li Qiang and his companions sensed activity near distant mountains, and Yan Qianhui urged them to investigate.

• Li Qiang bit through a Sacred Fruit Olive and drove his Divine Yi Power against the rings, prompting a guard to cry out that the Divine Restraint Rings were changing.

Li Qiang and Devil Venerable Chiming were transported into the War Soul’s domain, where the Restraint Divine Stele and Devil-Transforming Divine Light threatened Chiming’s life.

• Chiming’s devil heads and Black Devil Realm treasures vanished as he reshaped himself, and the Restraint Divine Stele circled him before developing countless cracks and glowing with white light.

Li Qiang and Devil Venerable Chiming freed a War God’s war soul, received the Divine War Soul and four divine artifacts, and reunited with Mei'er. As the Restraint Divine Stele’s destruction caused the strange realm to collapse, the group remained inside the palace complex and prepared to endure it.

• The Restraint Divine Stele shattered as Devil Venerable Chiming cultivated godhood, releasing a war soul that explained it would ascend to merge with the War God.

• Little White summoned three Great Flame Spirit Beasts from the Suppressing Tranquility Intent Origin, and Li Qiang returned from the lake of fire after losing track of his quarry underwater.
• The Great Flame Spirit Beast burst from the lake, and Li Qiang used the Heavenly Mirror Treasure Aspect Wheel and War Soul Saber to sever its connection to the Wrath of the Heavenly God and capture it.
• Little White summoned Golden Ou that froze the Great Flame Spirit Beast in ice, while Li Qiang stabilized the captured Wrath of the Heavenly God with Divine Yi Power and the Seal Character Instruction.
