As the altar transformed, the Demon Spirit Clan demigods faced an overwhelming presence and the truth of their worship was exposed.

• The River of Space-Time offered Su Wen a three-day shielding helmet for fifty million Wealth Source, but Su Wen declined because the River of Fate had already protected him from the Remnant Clan.
• Su Wen summoned the River of Fate, which offered to disperse the disguises around the altar for seven hundred thousand Wealth Source and promised steep discounts on later services.
