• The Ancient Emperor Lord ordered the Ancient Race Elder to contact seven major clans and meet at Tai Chu Myriad Gods Forest to uphold the Overlord Clans’ plan.
• Ji Yan suffered backlash from the Chaos Immortal Spirit Board and wondered whether Fu Tian had survived and whether the Eternal Ancient Immortal Kingdoms were trying to force him to surrender the board.
• Ji Yan considered destroying the board to return the Strongest Myriad Races’ luck to the myriad spirits, but decided to wait for the right opportunity.
• Ji Yan recognized that the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance Token restricted his cultivation and that the Overlord Clans had only permitted him to become alliance leader as part of their control over World Openers.
• Ji Yan resolved not to trigger the Second Myriad Races Great Slaughter Era directly, but to fan the flames while concealing his willingness to risk his life.

After five days of travel, he arrived at the Human Race Academy to bring Qian Wuhen and the others home.

• Tai Xiao recognized the Bandit Mask Chen Xun carried and realized he was the mysterious man who had defeated him in the Mystic Heavenly Passage Tower.

• The Yu Family Old Ancestors explained the Ying Patriarch's standing to Chen Xun, who asked whether the old man was waiting for him to break his cane.

Chen Xun confronted the Ying Clan Old Ancestor over the human race’s past failures and rejected his attempt at reconciliation, insisting he would only collect his family and leave. His words revealed his history to Qian Wuhen and stunned Bai Xinghan, while the human immortals watched him depart emotionally unmoved.
