• Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao entered the mixed region, where Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts lived.

Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao searched the mixed zone for a suitable Soul Beast, then rested and shared thousand-year Azure Jade Honey. A Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear appeared, apparently drawn by the honey.

• Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao passed through several Soul Beast territories without finding a suitable target, and Long Xiaoyao recalled killing a thirty-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.
• Lu Yuan considered the spider's possible connection to Xiao Wu and Tang San, but accepted that it had dropped no External Soul Bone.
• Long Xiaoyao took out thousand-year Azure Jade Honey, and Lu Yuan poured it into jade bowls for them to drink.
• Lu Yuan thought about saving the remaining honey for Xue Er and Senior Sister and recalled that Zhu Zhuqing loved fish.
• A five-meter Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear emerged from the forest, sniffing toward Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao.

Lu Yuan found a fifteen-thousand-year Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear drawn to the Azure Jade Honeycomb and had Long Xiaoyao subdue it. After Long Xiaoyao beat the bear nearly to death, Lu Yuan killed it for its soul ring.

• Lu Yuan recognized the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear and realized it had been attracted by the Azure Jade Honeycomb.

• Lu Yuan admired Long Xiaoyao's brutal fighting style and decided to make his own Golden Dragon combat style more violent.
• Long Xiaoyao brought the injured bear to Lu Yuan, who killed it with his World-Shocking Spear.

Lu Yuan absorbed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's fifteen-thousand-year soul ring while Long Xiaoyao guarded him inside the Vast Sea Protective Barrier. The Silver Figure beneath the Lake of Life sent Di Tian to find Lu Yuan, but the barrier concealed his aura as he completed the absorption.

• Lu Yuan killed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear and began absorbing its soul ring with Long Xiaoyao standing guard.

• Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Spirit swallowed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's soul fragment, and Lu Yuan opened his eyes after completing the absorption.

Lu Yuan absorbed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear’s soul ring, gained a powerful third soul skill, and reached level thirty-three before Long Xiaoyao found a right arm bone in the beast’s remains. As Lu Yuan continued toward the Star Dou Great Forest’s core zone to complete his sign-in task, a black dragon claw seized him and vanished through space, prompting Long Xiaoyao to give chase.

• Lu Yuan explained that his third soul skill, Golden Dragon Sky-Rending Claw, could threaten Soul Kings but consumed enough Soul Power to be used only four times at his current level.
• Lu Yuan said absorbing the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear’s soul ring had improved his physique and raised his Soul Power to level thirty-three, bringing his combat strength close to Qian Renxue’s.
• Long Xiaoyao searched the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear’s corpse and discovered a right arm bone, which Lu Yuan kept in his Star Ring rather than absorb.
• Lu Yuan decided not to return because he still needed to complete the system’s sign-in task in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• A black dragon claw emerged through a tear in space, grabbed Lu Yuan, and disappeared; Long Xiaoyao roared and pursued it.

Di Tian abducted Lu Yuan and carried him into the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, where Lu Yuan began a system check-in near the Lake of Life. Long Xiaoyao pursued them and fought the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape while Di Tian brought Lu Yuan farther into the core region.

• Di Tian seized Lu Yuan from before Long Xiaoyao and flew toward the forest’s core, saying that someone wanted to meet him and that he meant him no harm.
• Long Xiaoyao followed Di Tian’s trail, and Lu Yuan told Di Tian that Long Xiaoyao was his subordinate.
• Di Tian reached the Lake of Life with Lu Yuan, ordered the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to stop Long Xiaoyao, then continued onward with Lu Yuan.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape attacked Long Xiaoyao, who transformed into his Dark Sacred Dragon form and launched a furious assault against them.
• Di Tian carried Lu Yuan farther into the core region and set him down amid its dense life energy as the system started a half-hour check-in.

Lu Yuan visited the Lake of Life with Di Tian, who left to confront Long Xiaoyao after learning that the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were in danger. As the two powerful beings clashed, Lu Yuan remained with Bi Ji and trusted Long Xiaoyao could escape even if he could not win.

• Lu Yuan praised the Lake of Life’s cultivation benefits, and Di Tian explained its importance to the Spirit Beast Clan.
• Lu Yuan warned Di Tian that Long Xiaoyao could kill the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and Di Tian decided to intervene and test the human’s strength.
• Di Tian told Bi Ji to watch over Lu Yuan, then vanished toward Long Xiaoyao as darkness and dragon roars spread across the core region.
• A dark-golden giant bear heard the commotion and rushed toward the battle.
• Bi Ji asked Lu Yuan if he was worried, and Lu Yuan said Long Xiaoyao could escape even if Di Tian proved stronger.

Lu Yuan and Di Tian ended their conflict after Long Xiaoyao subdued the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and Xiong Jun. Di Tian then took Lu Yuan to a forbidden area beside the Lake of Life and opened a gateway, leading him toward the person who wanted to meet him.

• Di Tian returned with the injured Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and Bi Ji began healing them.
• Long Xiaoyao arrived with the wounded Xiong Jun, explaining that the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear had ambushed him after his fight with Di Tian.
• Lu Yuan told Long Xiaoyao to release Xiong Jun, asked Bi Ji to heal Long Xiaoyao, and agreed to go with Di Tian.
• Di Tian took Lu Yuan to a forbidden area where life energy was exceptionally dense, then used hand seals to open a gateway in the Lake of Life.

Lu Yuan and Di Tian entered the Silver Dragon King’s hidden domain, where Lu Yuan met her in dragon form and resisted her bloodline pressure. He remained standing before the Silver Dragon King, while Di Tian marveled at the purity of his bloodline.

• Di Tian led Lu Yuan through a spatial gateway and explained that the light screens showed scenes from the Star Dou Great Forest through the Power of Space.
• Lu Yuan recognized Sky Dream Ice Silkworm inside a golden pillar, where tiny cracks began to deepen after he looked away.
• Lu Yuan and Di Tian reached the brilliant crystal chamber and found the Silver Dragon King in her enormous silver dragon form.
• Di Tian knelt and greeted the Silver Dragon King, but Lu Yuan refused to pay respects because he possessed the Golden Dragon Bloodline.
• The Silver Dragon King exerted bloodline pressure on Lu Yuan, but he summoned his Golden Dragon Spirit, Golden Dragon Bloodline, Pure Qi Divine Power, and Vast Sea Power to remain standing.

Lu Yuan met the Silver Dragon King, who introduced herself as Gu Yuena and transformed into human form at his request. Their conversation ended with Gu Yuena confused by the difference between admiring someone’s beauty and romantically liking them.

• Gu Yuena’s bloodline pressure forced Di Tian to prostrate himself, while Lu Yuan remained standing because his Golden Dragon bloodline was not directly connected to hers.
• Gu Yuena withdrew her pressure, sent Di Tian away, and asked Lu Yuan his name.
• Lu Yuan asked Gu Yuena to take human form, and she appeared as a beautiful silver-haired woman despite her injuries.
• Lu Yuan praised Gu Yuena’s beauty and explained that humans valued attractive appearances, unlike Soul Beasts, who admired strength.
• Gu Yuena asked whether Lu Yuan liked her, and he tried to explain that liking someone’s appearance differed from liking someone romantically.

Gu Yuena told Lu Yuan how the Dragon God War created the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings and revealed that Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Bloodline came from a powerful dragon who died ten years earlier. She began explaining the dragon's final moments, leaving Lu Yuan to hear how its bloodline came to him.

• Lu Yuan clarified that he admired Gu Yuena's beauty but did not mean he loved her, then asked why she had summoned him.
• Gu Yuena explained that the Dragon God had been defeated by the Five Great God Kings, splitting into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and that she had escaped to the Star Dou Great Forest to recover.
• Gu Yuena said the Second Generation Golden Dragon, a First-Level Deity and the previous owner of Lu Yuan's bloodline, had escaped the God Realm with her but died ten years earlier.
• Gu Yuena described how the Second Generation Golden Dragon's bloodline, divine power, and soul began to collapse, while she could do nothing to save it.

Gu Yuena told Lu Yuan that a mysterious violet light had given him the Second Generation Golden Dragon's bloodline after its death, and explained why she hoped he would eventually aid the Dragon Clan. Lu Yuan kept his own divine path secret, while Gu Yuena accepted that he had a right to withhold it.

• Gu Yuena recounted how violet light gathered the Second Generation Golden Dragon's scattered bloodline into a human infant, who was Lu Yuan.
• Gu Yuena said Di Tian had left infant Lu Yuan at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Lu Yuan blamed Di Tian for nearly getting him killed.
• Lu Yuan realized his Golden Dragon Bloodline gave him a karmic debt to the Dragon Clan that the Life Spirit Crystal could repay.
• Gu Yuena asked Lu Yuan to help revive the Dragon Clan once he became stronger, saying his human nature could let him become a god without the gods rejecting him.
• Lu Yuan showed Gu Yuena the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and she recognized the Heart of the Sea God and asked about his intended divine path.
• Lu Yuan declined to reveal his plans, and Gu Yuena said she would not be angry as long as he meant well toward the Dragon Clan.

Lu Yuan agreed to help Gu Yuena and the Dragon Clan challenge the God Realm, on the condition that Soul Beasts and humans coexist peacefully. Gu Yuena accepted and gave him the Golden Dragon Spear, which had long been drawn to him.

• Lu Yuan questioned whether he could leave alive if he refused to serve the Dragon Clan, and Gu Yuena told him he was their best chance to produce a god.
• Lu Yuan accepted the Dragon Clan’s cause, recognizing his debt to the Golden Dragon Spirit and bloodline.
• Lu Yuan demanded that Soul Beasts coexist peacefully with humans and never start a war; Gu Yuena eventually agreed.
• Lu Yuan promised to help break the God Realm’s blockade and give every Soul Beast a chance to become a god.
• Gu Yuena gave Lu Yuan the Golden Dragon Spear and explained that it had been drawn to him because of its connection to the Golden Dragon.

Lu Yuan obtained the Golden Dragon Spear and learned that Gu Yuena’s divine injuries would take at least twenty thousand years to heal. The system then rewarded him with the Zhe Secret, a powerful healing art, and he decided to teach it to Qian Renxue and his other women before considering Gu Yuena.

• Lu Yuan examined the Golden Dragon Spear and found it perfectly suited to him, capable of devouring Soul Power and vital energy to replenish him.
• Lu Yuan asked Gu Yuena about her injuries, and she explained that the Slaughter Power of the Asura God and the Destruction Power of the God of Destruction would take at least twenty thousand years to dissolve.
• The system announced that Lu Yuan had completed a sign-in task and offered him a treasure chest.
• Lu Yuan opened the chest and received the Zhe Secret, a supreme healing art that could rapidly mend severe injuries.
• Lu Yuan suspected the system had given him the Zhe Secret so he could heal Gu Yuena, but decided to teach it to Qian Renxue and his other women first.

Lu Yuan gave Gu Yuena a Life Spirit Crystal to speed her recovery, repaying her for returning the Golden Dragon Spear. After Di Tian escorted him out to check on an injured subordinate, Gu Yuena wondered what it meant to like someone.

• Lu Yuan decided to keep the Zhe Secret to himself for now and planned to repay the Golden Dragon Spear with a Life Spirit Crystal.
• Lu Yuan gave Gu Yuena the crystal, and she said it could help her recover fully within fifty years.
• Gu Yuena thanked Lu Yuan, but he insisted that he was only repaying her for the Golden Dragon Spear.
• Lu Yuan asked Gu Yuena to send him out so he could check on an injured subordinate, and she summoned Di Tian to escort him.
• After Lu Yuan and Di Tian left, Gu Yuena wondered about her feelings and why Lu Yuan said he appreciated her beauty but did not like her.

Lu Yuan returned to Di Tian’s territory after meeting Gu Yuena and received introductions to the gathered ferocious beasts. Di Tian revealed that Lu Yuan was a Golden Dragon in human form with the purest bloodline in their dragon clan, leaving Lu Yuan stunned.

• Lu Yuan and Di Tian returned to the territory, where Lu Yuan thanked Bi Ji for healing Long Xiaoyao.
• Di Tian began introducing the ferocious beasts, and Xiong Jun backed down after Long Xiaoyao threatened him.
• Di Tian introduced Ten Thousand Demons King and Scarlet King, then Zi Ji sensed Lu Yuan’s exceptionally pure dragon bloodline.
• Di Tian identified Lu Yuan as a Golden Dragon in human form with the purest bloodline among their dragon clan, surprising Lu Yuan.

Di Tian claimed that Lu Yuan was a transformed Golden Dragon so the Star Dou Great Forest’s Soul Beasts would accept him, and declared him their most honored guest. Lu Yuan remained wary of Gu Yuena’s power and withheld the Zhe Secret, hoping to grow strong enough to keep her in check.

• Di Tian told the ferocious beasts that Lu Yuan was a transformed Golden Dragon, prompting them to lower their suspicion of him.
• Lu Yuan suspected Gu Yuena had arranged the deception and reflected that he did not trust her because he could not control her power.
• Zi Ji and the other ferocious beasts accepted Di Tian’s claim, believing Lu Yuan’s bloodline and Gu Yuena’s involvement made him important.
• Di Tian ordered every Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest to honor Lu Yuan, and the ferocious beasts agreed before departing.
• After the ferocious beasts left, Di Tian beckoned the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape over.

Lu Yuan accepted the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape as subordinates and promised to protect Xiao Wu from Tang Hao and Tang San. He planned to use their return to the Star Dou Great Forest to separate Xiao Wu from Tang San and pursue his own revenge.

• Di Tian placed the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape under Lu Yuan's command, and Lu Yuan accepted them at Gu Yuena's request.
• Lu Yuan told the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape that Xiao Wu was close to Tang San and that Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, prompting them to beg Lu Yuan to protect her.
• Lu Yuan promised to safeguard Xiao Wu and said his forces would watch over her until she returned to the Star Dou Great Forest with Tang San in about two years.
• Lu Yuan planned to bring Xiao Wu back to the two beasts and ensure Tang San could not obtain her or their soul rings and soul bones.
• Lu Yuan considered making the Titan Giant Ape sacrifice itself to him because its soul ring suited his Golden Dragon.
