The Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance maneuvered to force Spirit Hall into fighting the beasts, while Qian Xunji prepared secret realms and a divine miracle to counter the pressure; protests then grew more extreme.

• Gu Rong took Ning Feiyang’s squad into the Star Dou Great Forest, where a 560,000-year-old Fire Phoenix drove them away and warned humans to leave its territory.

Qian Xunji said the divine rules could be rewritten, but he would wait until Spirit Hall had accumulated more strength and harvested Tang San one final time.

• Ning Fengzhi urged blacklisted factions to demand access to God-given Soul Rings, but Yu Xiaogang kept the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance together by promising that Tang San would return as the Asura God.

Meanwhile, Tang San reached the Asura God's ninth trial as Tang Chen sacrificed himself to open the path to godhood, and Tang Hao led the Evil Soul Masters out of Slaughter City to prepare for his son's return.

• Qian Geng and his siblings opposed Ah Yin marrying Tang Hao, so Qian Zhang Shi made Tang Hao wait until Qian Geng turned twenty-five; Tang Hao accepted the condition.
• After years of supporting the Qian Clan, Tang Hao returned to propose, but Qian Geng rejected him, had servants break his legs, and threw him out; Tang Hao later died beneath a bridge in the snow.
• Tang San completed the first eight Asura trials and advanced to Titled Douluo, while Tang Chen gave him his Soul Bones and began burning away his life force to open the gate to godhood.

After Tang Chen died, Qian Xunji revealed that he had controlled the Asura God Position and arranged every Asura God examination, then showed Tang Chen the humiliating truth of Tang San’s trial. Qian Xunji broadcast the examinations across the Douluo Continent, exposing Tang Hao, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar to the whole world as they prepared to march on the Heaven Dou Empire.
