Summary[]
Kim Dokja asked everyone to not kill Lee Sookyung, who he is sure is at her limits, and will not be able to win against the Transcendent Yoo Joonghyuk. Dokja approached Sookyung slowly, asking her to stop as he noticed her worsening state. Sookyung said that he will not listen to whatever she said, and Dokja surprised himself by asking her to speak nonetheless, and he will listen this one time, asking her to tell him her story properly, or anything at all.
Sookyung's attempt to tell Dokja about her situation is interrupted by the messages by three major Nebulae (Olympus, Vedas, and Papyrus) who is looking at Dokja's 'fate'. The messages inflicts pain to Sookyung, and right as Dokja is about to reach to her, he is blocked by the Founder’s Mother, who said that Dokja cannot pass through. The Eight Beaded Bell in Sookyung hands cracked, breaking the plausability limit as Founder's Mother sacrificed her shadow to open The Great Hole, housing a portion of an outer god's true form.
The presence of the outer god instantly killed weaker incarnations, and Dokja said that just like before, constellations should appear and oppose the outer god due to their tumultuous relationship. However, once time passes and there are no reactions from any constellations, Dokja saw messages that suggests that the three major Nebulae wants Dokja to choose his sponsor, by succeeding one of their fable. Dokja, however, knows all these fables will force him to kill his mother in order to succeed them.
Dokja then talked to Joonghyuk about the nebula that they announced they will make back in the Banquet, Kim Dokja's Company. Joonghyuk dismissed the name, saying that he'll come up with the name on his own as they helped their companions up. Dokja then proclaimed that he will not bow to the fate that has been decided by the nebulae, and he will decide his own story.
He then hear the voice of the outer god, in the process of descending. Cheok Jungyeong then appears, angered at the circumstances that befall Dokja, as it reminds him of his own story and laments that things hasn't changed after a few hundred of years. He called out to Founder’s Mother and questioned her decision to summon the outer god. Ungnyeo revealed that Dokja must not be allowed to return to the Korean Peninsula at all cost. Jungyeong then realized that the nebulae has threatened other constellations from interfering and helping them, or else they will become their enemies.
Enraged, Jungyeong said that Dokja should feel proud that the people residing at the peak of this world feared him. Dokja said that he can't be prideful if he will die, and Jungyeong declared that Dokja will survive, as he won't let him die.
