• The City Guard shackled Ma Hongjun and prepared to take him away, while Dai Mubai warned Gula that prison could put him in danger.

Back at the academy, Gula confronted Ma Hongjun over his recklessness and shortcuts, and Ma Hongjun admitted his fault and agreed to borrow money from Flender.

• The nobles presented gifts to Xue Ye, and Gula silently considered taking the rare treasures for himself.

The Sea God's divine thought awakened inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud during Xue Ye's ceremony and contacted Poseidon in the God Realm. Poseidon investigated Douluo Star by exploiting the rules and discovered Gula's ambitious plan to gather faith through the Eighteen Visualization Diagrams.

• The Sea God's divine thought awakened when the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud trembled during Xue Ye's ceremony, then chose to use Xue Ye as a temporary vessel.

• Poseidon concluded that Gula might create a First-Rank Godhood with the potential to reach the God King Realm, but would not become his successor.

Poseidon created and inserted a Vast Sea Visualization Diagram into the plane to gather faith and find a successor, while the Silver Dragon King drew her own Dragon God Visualization Diagram to aid her recovery. She discovered that another water-element diagram had already claimed a large share, leaving her furious at the unknown rival.

• Poseidon made a simplified Vast Sea Visualization Diagram and sent it into the plane’s Origin after forcing the Plane Consciousness to accept it.
• Poseidon learned that later water-element diagrams had to share their Power of Faith with the first one, then realized the Plane Consciousness also benefited from the method.
• Poseidon ordered Bo Saixi to spread the Vast Sea Visualization Diagram after returning to the God Realm.

• The Silver Dragon King sent her diagram into the Plane Core space and discovered that Poseidon’s water-element Visualization Diagram had arrived first and occupied a large share.

The Silver Dragon King tried to seize seven attributes of Gula’s Visualization Method, but Gula and Groudon drove her off and the Plane Consciousness erased her diagram. The Silver Dragon King fled into the void, leaving her rivalry with Gula unresolved.

• The Silver Dragon King regretted losing the Water Attribute to the Sea God and suppressed the Plane Consciousness while attempting to replace seven other attributes with her own diagram.
• Gula saw in the future that the Silver Dragon King was attacking the Plane Consciousness and asked Groudon to lend him all its power.
• Groudon joined Gula in the Origin of the Plane space, where the Silver Dragon King recognized them as outsiders and attacked.
• Gula used Primal Reversion and Precipice Blades with Groudon, and their clash let the Plane Consciousness erase the Silver Dragon God Visualization Diagram.
• The Silver Dragon King’s attack worsened her wounds, so she memorized Gula’s appearance and fled into the void.

After several days of fighting over the Plane Consciousness’s offerings, the Silver Dragon King accepted Gula’s claim and withdrew, while Gula was left temporarily paralyzed from using Groudon’s power. In Heaven Dou City, Zhu Zhuqing cared for him as Xue Ye’s attempt to enlist the Sea God’s help ended in disappointment.

• After learning that Groudon had Peak First-Rank God strength, the Silver Dragon King accepted Di Tian’s advice to yield and let Gula share humanity’s offerings.
• Gula reassured the Plane Consciousness that he would avenge her later, then realized his body had become completely paralyzed from repeated battles with the Silver Dragon King.
• Zhu Zhuqing fed Gula Snow Lotus Porridge while caring for him at his bedside.
• After four days of Xue Ye’s persistence, the Sea God’s divine thought manifested, explained that it could not help him, and withdrew into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
