Zuo Tinggang and Chen Weizhe watched the battle at the Bao Family stronghold and realized the Crimson Church’s forces were behaving strangely. They concluded the Church’s high-level Soul Douluo had disappeared because they were training for breakthroughs into the Titled Douluo realm.

• Zuo Tinggang and Chen Weizhe observed the unusually large number of powerful fighters gathered at the Bao Family stronghold and wondered why the Chen Clan had arranged the attack there.
• Chen Weizhe inferred that Chen Zhang had used the Gao Ying Competition as cover to strike before the Black Nether Legion could respond.
• The two men compared the Titled Douluo numbers of their forces with those of the Crimson Church and worried that the Church might have more than thirty.
• Chen Weizhe noticed that no high-level Soul Douluo had appeared at the Bao Family stronghold, the Chen Residence attack, or Sea Lake Manor.
• Zuo Tinggang and Chen Weizhe concluded that the Crimson Church’s high-level Soul Douluo were undergoing advanced training to prepare for breakthroughs into the Titled Douluo realm.

Chen Weizhe and Zuo Tinggang realized the Crimson Church was using the Ancient Death Spiral Array and living blood essence to push many High-level Soul Douluo toward Titled Douluo breakthroughs. Their alarming prediction later reached Chen Xiaojun, who saw how the scheme could devastate the Soul Master World and weaken its future generations.

• Chen Weizhe deduced that the Crimson Church had gathered living blood essence to operate the Ancient Death Spiral Array and help its High-level Soul Douluo break through.

• Chen Xiaojun later heard Chen Weizhe and Zuo Tinggang's deductions and realized the Crimson Church's scheme might explain the decline of soul masters and the loss of inheritances in later generations.

Chen Weizhe explained to Zuo Tinggang how the Soul Master forces could curb the Crimson Church’s growth by denying it corpses for its Death Spiral Array and killing its Titleholders faster than it could replace them. The two-pronged strategy left them focused on preventing the church from gaining enough blood essence and continuing to eliminate its leaders.

• Chen Weizhe snapped Zuo Tinggang out of his vision of the Soul Master World’s future, and Zuo admitted how powerless the thought had made him feel.
• Chen Weizhe reasoned that the Crimson Church relied on huge quantities of blood essence from corpses to use the ancient Death Spiral Array and create Titleholders.
• Chen Weizhe urged the forces to protect high-level soul master remains and scout for arrays before battles that could cause mass casualties.
• Chen Weizhe argued that the forces should kill Crimson Titleholders faster than the array could produce replacements, noting that their enemies had already lost at least ten.
• Chen Weizhe summed up his plan as cutting off the church’s blood essence supply while killing its existing Titleholders.

Chen Weizhe outlined ways to curb the Crimson Church, from sabotaging its Netherworld Blood Lily supply to hunting its Title Seeds, while warning Zuo Tinggang that the Church could retaliate and target soul beasts. He argued that the major forces must coordinate and that a powerful figure might ultimately decide the conflict, leaving Zuo Tinggang struck by the possibility of a Peerless Douluo emerging.

• Chen Weizhe proposed disrupting the Crimson Church’s Netherworld Blood Lily supply and killing its Title Seeds to hinder its advancement plans.
• Chen Weizhe warned Zuo Tinggang that the Crimson Church would adapt and might hunt soul beasts if their essence blood could fuel its evil array.
