After exposing and dealing with a spy hidden within the Jin Family, Kael's Third Clone is asked by Patriarch Jin Seong-Hwan how they can remove the remaining traitors. Kael first deploys a massive defensive formation that completely seals and protects the Jin Estate. He then reveals a golden truth orb capable of identifying spies and tells everyone present to touch it later.
Before beginning the investigation, Kael asks about Jin Seong-Hwan's cultivation. Learning that the Patriarch is only at the Fourth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, Kael gives him a divine golden armor and a powerful cultivation pill. The moment Seong-Hwan consumes the pill, he experiences a miraculous breakthrough, advancing from Golden Core Realm to Earth Soul Realm, then Heaven Soul Realm, and finally reaching the Fifth Layer of the Saint Realm. The entire Jin Family is shocked because such progress would normally require tens of thousands of years. When heavenly tribulation lightning descends, the golden armor protects him completely.
Kael then reveals that he possesses thousands of similar pills and intends to help the Jin Family grow stronger. However, before receiving such benefits, every loyal member must sign a Mana Contract to guarantee their loyalty. Jin Yu-Jin explains that a Mana Contract functions similarly to a Dao Oath, allowing everyone to understand its purpose.
Afterward, Grand Elder Tae-Wook reveals that he is at the Seventh Layer of the Body Integration Realm. Kael gives him a pill as well, allowing him to advance into the Third Layer of the Tribulation Crossing Realm. The other elders also receive pills and advance into higher cultivation realms, greatly increasing the Jin Family's overall strength.
Jin Yu-Jin, who is a 7-Star Grand Mage suffering from severe mana blockage, receives a specialized pill from Kael. The pill completely removes his blockage and allows him to advance directly to the 9-Star Grand Mage rank. During the breakthrough, he gains several powerful magical abilities, including advanced defensive barriers, dimensional transportation, large-scale mana control, powerful offensive spells, and limited time-manipulation techniques.
With the Jin Family strengthened, Kael activates the golden truth orb. One by one, family members touch the artifact. Loyal members pass safely, but hidden spies are immediately exposed. Several infiltrators from the Cult of Ten Thousand Faces are discovered among disciples, servants, guards, and even trusted personnel. Under interrogation, the captured spies reveal a terrifying secret: the cult is preparing a catastrophic event known as the Zombie Tribulation, a disaster capable of transforming entire regions into undead-controlled territories and plunging Inter-Galaxy into chaos.
Once the interrogation is complete, the spies are executed. Kael summons Brown, who arrives and adds the dead infiltrators to his growing undead army.
While observing the aftermath, Kael and Brown discuss how rare mages are in Inter-Galaxy. During their conversation in the Eldrathin language, Brown reveals alarming news. Because Kael has interfered too much with the world's natural order, the God of this world has noticed their presence. The world's guardian deity is preparing to return from the Blue Star Dimension and may view Kael, Brown, and Queen Seraphel as threats that must be eliminated.
Realizing the danger, Kael decides not to waste any more time. He contacts Abyssa through the System and orders her to return to the estate. Brown asks why Kael is remaining behind, and Kael reminds him that the person standing in the Jin Estate is merely his Third Clone while his real body is sleeping safely back at the estate. Since everyone in Eldrathin possesses a System, Brown is not surprised by this ability and teleports away.
Kael then returns his consciousness to his true body. Abyssa and the investigation clone return, while the clone assigned to search for the Fragment remains active. After dismissing Abyssa, Kael discusses the situation with Queen Seraphel and Brown.
Kael explains that the returning Outer God presents a serious threat because many of his greatest abilities are weakened in Inter-Galaxy. His Domain Protector title is inactive outside his home world, and even his powerful Gluttony skill is currently sealed. Queen Seraphel initially suggests confronting the enemy directly, but Kael explains that doing so would be extremely dangerous under the current circumstances.
As the group searches for a solution, a System notification suddenly appears. The World Mission Progress reaches 20%, and the Second Clone successfully discovers a lead regarding one of the missing Fragments. The System reveals that the Fragment is currently connected to one of the most powerful figures in all of Inter-Galaxy.
Realizing that the fragments may be their only chance to prepare for the coming conflict, Kael, Brown, and Queen Seraphel immediately shift their focus toward locating the Fragment before the returning God arrives.
