After Chen Changsheng took over Mo Yu's secret guards, he quickly organized personnel to monitor everyone connected to Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, naturally including Mo Yu. Late that night, a group of mysterious people gathered in a seemingly inconspicuous thatched cottage in the suburbs. Among them was the red-robed figure who had met the black-robed figure last time; it turned out he was the Fushe leader, and this was one of their internal "meetings."

Now, The Empress's heart was only filled with the Star Array, and her mind was gradually controlled by it. The Fushe leader was also concerned about the Star Array. He felt this was a great opportunity to replace The Empress. Once the moment arrived, he could use the people he had already arranged in the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards to capture the Divine Capital in one fell swoop. Days and nights passed.

When the dawn of the second day arrived, Qijian found Chen Changsheng and the others, telling them that Mo Yu's operation had failed, leading to her military power being seized, and now the secret guards had fallen into Qiu Shanjun's hands. However, before the group could fully process this news, Qiu Shanjun arrived with his men.

This was because Qijian had previously visited Qiu Shanjun at the Lishan Villa, which led Qiu Shanjun to track her to Chen Changsheng and the others' hiding place. However, Qiu Shanjun's operation still ended in failure this time. Even with the Makara bestowed upon him by The Empress, he couldn't find any hidden arrays set by Chen Changsheng within the Tang family residence. Qiu Shanjun, looking visibly displeased, could only leave resentfully with his men.

In truth, he didn't know that Chen Changsheng and the others were right outside the Tang family's gate at that moment, hidden from his search by the cover of an array. Since the Tang family's location had been discovered, Chen Changsheng decided to take Xu Yourong and the others to hide with the Pope. Little did they expect that no sooner had they entered than Qiu Shanjun arrived with his men.

The arrogant Qiu Shanjun completely disregarded Deacon Xin's attempts to stop him, relying on The Empress's backing, and insisted on having the Li Palace searched. Although they quickly discovered a secret passage, Qiu Shanjun wasn't so easily fooled this time. He didn't follow the secret guards into the passage; instead, he walked out the door, looking for Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, and indeed found them preparing to leave.

Seeing Xu Yourong still accompanying Chen Changsheng even at this moment, Qiu Shanjun's heart was truly uneasy. He tried to persuade Xu Yourong to leave Chen Changsheng, even using this opportunity to declare his deep devotion to Xu Yourong. However, his passionate confession was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Nan Ke and Qin Lü. She didn't like hearing Qiu Shanjun talk about liking other women, so she immediately ordered Qin Lü to kill Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.

Under the erosion of demonic sounds, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong quickly fainted to the ground. Qiu Shanjun looked at the unconscious Xu Yourong and told Nan Ke to stop immediately and not harm her further. However, Nan Ke had no intention of listening to Qiu Shanjun's nonsense, especially since he had already caused the deaths of Guan Feibai and Gou Hanshi before. What was two more deaths that he couldn't accept?

Even when Qiu Shanjun threatened her with The Empress and the Pope, it failed to make Nan Ke restrain herself. Just then, the unconscious Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong suddenly woke up. The people in front of Qiu Shanjun were no longer Nan Ke and Qin Lü, but instead Luoluo and the Pope. It turned out that this entire scene was merely an illusion set up by Chen Changsheng, simply to make Qiu Shanjun reveal the truth.

Now that things had come to this, Qiu Shanjun actually felt relieved and simply confessed everything: about Guan Feibai and Gou Hanshi, and how Nan Ke had planted a demonic seed within him. After enduring and pretending for so long, Qiu Shanjun must have truly found liberation at this moment, especially since he couldn't turn hostile in front of the Pope.

When The Empress arrived at the Li Palace, she was informed that Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong had already left, but Qiu Shanjun had been captured by the Pope. The Empress was undoubtedly shocked and surprised to learn that Qiu Shanjun was actually a spy for the monsters. How could she have imagined that Qiu Shanjun, whom she had always held in high regard, would truly fall into darkness?

Nevertheless, she still couldn't accept the fact that Chen Changsheng had defied her wishes and fled with Xu Yourong. Seeing The Empress's lingering resentment, the Pope did not simply speak highly of Chen Changsheng, but merely stated that he would persuade Chen Changsheng to return to The Empress's side, which somewhat satisfied The Empress.

In reality, Chen Changsheng, Xu Yourong, and the others were at this time hidden by the Pope within his Green Leaf World, a fact The Empress had not discovered yet. The Empress decreed that Qiu Shanjun be imprisoned in the heavenly prison. This news equally shocked the Humans. Upon learning the news, Nan Ke rushed to the heavenly prison with her people, killed the guards, knocked out Qiu Shanjun, and took him away.

Nan Ke's actions undoubtedly further confirmed the fact that Qiu Shanjun was a spy for the monsters, leaving Qiu Shanjun with no way out. From now on, the Humans would only remember that their elite had once betrayed them and joined the monsters. This might be Qiu Shanjun's fate. Although he had suffered due to his junior brother's departure, he ultimately selfishly chose to protect himself, thus being used by the black-robed figure and Nan Ke.

However, he did not know that after Gou Hanshi fell off the cliff, he was fortunately rescued by a peasant woman and did not lose his life, though he was severely injured, making it impossible for him to return to the Divine Capital in the short term. The Pope, just as he had mentioned to The Empress before, persuaded Chen Changsheng to ask The Empress for help to defy fate and change his destiny, thereby gaining a chance at life.

This meant Chen Changsheng needed to hand over the Star Map to The Empress, but Chen Changsheng was wary of the Star Array's control and influence over The Empress and did not want to hand over the Star Map to her. Learning of Chen Changsheng's concerns, the Pope told him that if he could truly comprehend and effectively utilize the Star Map, then stabilizing the Star Array and preventing The Empress from being controlled by it was not impossible.

This would not only stabilize the Humans but also give Chen Changsheng the opportunity to defy fate and change his destiny. Qiu Shanjun's betrayal left The Empress unable to let go. She couldn't understand how Qiu Shanjun, who once worked to Protect the righteous path, eliminate demons, could change so suddenly, and now was even taken away by Nan Ke.
