• Beirut explained that Barbary had survived by using Laws Manifestation, though the attack had badly damaged his mastery of the Water Profound Mysteries.

• Beirut declared the battle over, and both sides separated; Andrew then demanded that the Eight Great Clans leave the Infernal Realm or face a fight to the death.

Beirut ended the battle by imposing a thousand-year truce between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans, and Andrew’s victory made him one of the Infernal Realm’s greatest experts.

• Youyindier told Andrew that Orloff wanted Digelunsi’s corpse, and Andrew guessed the Sovereign wanted to study Digelunsi’s innate ability.

• Andrew met Mosi at Hendsey Castle, and they discussed their three-element soul mutations and extraordinary soul potential.

• Andrew named his newborn son Xuanyuan, and Mosi arrived after sensing Andrew's breakthrough.
• Andrew demonstrated his new strength by matching Mosi's Sovereign Artifact with his bare hand and then knocking aside Mosi's ultimate hammer strike with his purple sword.
• Before age six, Xuanyuan became a deity, impressing Andrew and making Mosi envious of the boy's potential.
• Twenty years later, Andrew's family left Miluo Island, and twenty-six-year-old Xuanyuan traveled with him toward the Blood Peak Continent.
• Near Bloodflame Prefecture, Andrew slowed their golden dragon-shaped Metallic Lifeform and concealed his aura so Xuanyuan could practice if they met bandits.

Andrew gave Xuanyuan the Azure Dragon Ring and sent him to gain combat experience, then returned with his family to Bloodflame City. After learning that Molder possessed the Nine Soul Pearls and a Supreme God Token, Andrew planned to draw him out by capturing his son Bonin while hiding his identity.

• Andrew gave Xuanyuan the Azure Dragon Ring and told him to fight the bandits attacking their Metallic Lifeform.
