• Nearly all the visiting Heavenly Daos stepped forward to take the test, while one yellow-haired Heavenly Dao remained seated.
• Yinghua offered her core soil, and Cang Ru successfully fused it with the Eternal Night Continent’s core soil.

Lu Qing'an contracted Yinghua after discovering that her Fifth Heaven Continent shared a common origin with the Eternal Night Continent, then tested the other Heavenly Daos and found four more related continents. As the remaining Heavenly Daos asked him to contract them too, Li Wensong mistook Lu Qing'an’s pretense of calculating for a display of the Rule of Cause and Effect.

• Lu Qing'an pretended to calculate whether he would contract them, and Li Wensong wondered if he was using the Rule of Cause and Effect.
