• Yu Xiaogang ordered member nations to triple their armies and provide troops for an Alliance force of one million within a year.
• Two lords objected that the troop quotas would leave no one to farm, so Yu Xiaogang angrily claimed their territories for himself.

• Zhao Quan, Xiao Zhi, and Lu Yuan berated Yu Xiaogang, humiliating him in front of the Alliance.

Yu Xiaogang tried to force Huo Qiqiang to help him cultivate through Power Transmission, but the Body Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan threatened to leave the Alliance.

• After the assembly, Ning Fengzhi told Gu Rong and Chen Xin that Tang San had elevated Yu Xiaogang to a position of power so he could later expose and punish him.

Ning Fengzhi persuaded Gu Rong to get close to Yu Xiaogang so he could later challenge and kill him to earn Tang San’s favor. Meanwhile, the Body Sect rejected Yu Xiaogang’s demands, and Yu Xiaogang collapsed in terror when a surviving envoy returned with his colleague’s severed head.

• Yu Xiaogang saw the severed head, screamed, and collapsed into his chair in terror.

Yu Xiaogang learned that the Body Sect had rejected the Alliance’s demand and, unable to retaliate, punished the surviving envoy and vented his anger. He tried to temper his body with repeated medicinal baths, but despite using twenty times the usual Cultivation Resources, he made no progress.

• The Alliance Envoy told Yu Xiaogang that the Body Sect had killed another envoy and dared him to collect its contribution himself.
• Yu Xiaogang’s officials warned him that the Alliance could not afford to fight the Body Sect, so he ordered the surviving envoy thrown into the Oil Pot instead.

• That night, Yu Xiaogang smashed furniture and vowed that Tang San would destroy the Body Sect after returning as a god.
• Yu Xiaogang repeatedly ordered fresh medicinal baths whenever the pain became too much, then used twenty times the ordinary Cultivation Resources without making any progress.

Yu Xiaogang’s assisted training with Gu Rong failed to help him advance beyond Level 29, and Gu Rong discovered that Yu Xiaogang’s Flower Pig Martial Soul could not be cultivated.

• Tang San asked to accompany Xiao Wu to meet her besties, then discovered they were Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng, Er Ming, Bu Le, Xue Beng, Dai Weisi, and Feng Xiaotian.

• Huo Qiqiang and Ning Fengzhi’s group visited Tang San, who introduced Tang Wuheng, Tang Wule, and Tang Wubai as his children undergoing Spirit Awakening.

Tang San and Xiao Wu attended a grand martial soul awakening ceremony for their three children, where Tang San was celebrated as the Future God. Ning Fengzhi began the awakenings, leaving the ceremony poised to reveal the children’s martial souls.

• The Alliance’s leaders and guests gathered as Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were welcomed to their seats.
• Tang San’s sons, Tang Wubai, Tang Wule, and Tang Wuheng, entered with the other children and watched their birth mother and fake father with defiance.

Tang Wubai then awakened a White Tiger Martial Soul resembling the Dai Clan’s, leaving Tang San, Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, and the gathered families stunned and fearful.

• Tang Hao and Tang San questioned Xiao Wu about Tang Wule’s resemblance to Bu Le, but she pointed out that she had been watched constantly while they lived in seclusion.

• Tang Wuheng awakened a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, prompting the crowd to infer that Xiao Wu’s triplets had different fathers.
