Tang Wulin learned that his parents were safe and received a warning that the Holy Spirit Cult planned to open the Abyss passage. As the Demon Empress rejected Lan Fuzi’s plea to abandon revenge, Yun Ming and the Federation leaders moved to organize a search for the cult.

• Lan Hong told Tang Wulin that Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were safe and warned him that the Holy Spirit Cult was preparing a ritual to open the Abyss passage.

Chen Xinjie forced the major factions to prepare for the Abyss crisis while the Holy Spirit Cult ambushed a convoy carrying Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons in Skysea City. Sima Jinchi confronted Leng Yulai, whose attack on him revealed that his blade could threaten a quasi-god.

• Zi Ji's Abyssal Devour swallowed Na Nali's Ninth Spirit Skill, prompting Leng Yulai to ask what had happened and demand that Na Nali retrieve the cannons and withdraw.

Na Nali and Leng Yulai's attempt to seize the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons failed, and Na Nali detonated the cannons to cover their escape, injuring Zi Ji and Scarlet King. In Mingdu, Chen Xinjie's meeting with representatives of major factions revealed deep divisions and the continued exclusion of the soul beast race from human affairs.

• Na Nali discovered that the convoy held only Level Seven Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons, while Leng Yulai fought off Sima Jinchi's attack as Scarlet King arrived.

Chen Xinjie, Yun Ming, and Cao Dezhi clashed with Qian Gu Dieting and the Star Luo Empire over preparations to resist the Abyss, until an attack on a shipment of Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons forced them to pause. En Ci proposed settling their dispute through a five-on-five contest, while Little Gu Yue sent Di Tian and Zi Ji to investigate the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Cao Dezhi and Yun Ming accused Qian Gu Dieting of complicity with the Holy Spirit Cult and refused to release his son, Dong Feng.
• Dai Yun'er said the Star Luo Empire would help face the Abyss but needed to act cautiously, and Chen Xinjie demanded a clear answer from En Ci.
• Chen Xinjie learned that the Holy Spirit Cult had intercepted Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons from Skysea City, but the cannons self-destructed and the Soul Beast clan's role remained unclear.
• En Ci proposed that each faction send five fighters, including three young people, with the winner deciding the dispute; Chen Xinjie agreed.
• Zi Ji and Scarlet King reported to Little Gu Yue that the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons had exploded, and Little Gu Yue ordered Di Tian and Zi Ji to gather intelligence on the Holy Spirit Cult.

Lan Hong discovered the Federation was sending its navy to use the crisis to seize the Star Luo Empire, prompting Chen Xinjie to set out to recall the warships as a dragon's roar interrupted Ha Luosa's attack.
