• The Ice God accused Tang San of targeting her inheritor and threatened him, but the Goddess of Life and Lie Yan stopped her from attacking him further.
• Tang San left the Ice God Palace with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, while the Ice God explained that she believed Su Yu could raise her position to God King level.

• Su Yu’s Ice God mark revealed his first trial, and Snow Empress read it aloud: reach the 333rd step of the Ice God Stairway within one year.

Su Yu and Snow Empress began climbing the Ice God's Stairway, where mounting pressure and soul-piercing pain tested their limits. Su Yu reached step 600 after a month of training, then took Snow Empress to rest and promised to show her somewhere afterward.

• Su Yu revealed that his first Ice God trial required him to climb 999 steps within a year, and he vowed to complete it despite Snow Empress's concern.

Su Yu brought Snow Empress to the Reverse Life Ice Lotus, but she decided to wait until her previous medicinal powers were fully absorbed before taking its seed. While Shui Lingguang refined the seed, Su Yu helped Mu Wu address the physical demands of forming a Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core; Shui Lingguang awakened on the third day with an evolved Ice Phoenix Martial Soul and Ultimate Ice.
