Cai Xukun learned the history and structure of the Blood God Legion, then officially replaced Xue Jiu as one of its nine Blood Gods. With Tang Wulin’s arrival, Cai Xukun expected the Abyssal Plane’s invasion and a ten-thousand-year plan to use Tang Wulin as bait to begin soon.

• Cai Xukun reviewed the Blood God Legion’s origins, its war against the Abyssal Creatures, and its role guarding the Abyssal Passage.

Cai Xukun learned that Tang Wulin had become a Second Lieutenant and that the Holy Spirit Cult planned to exploit a coming Abyssal Tide to breach the Blood God Legion’s defenses. A level-three attack struck three passages, and Cai Xukun arrived at the Sixth Passage to oversee the battle as powerful Ba An appeared.

• A report told Cai Xukun that Tang Wulin had earned a Second Lieutenant rank, established a forging workshop with Long Yuxue, and prompted new Merit Point rules that prevented auxiliary work from earning promotions.

• Cai Xukun watched the Blood God Legion’s mechas, Battle Armor Masters, and ranged forces hold back the Abyssal Creatures rather than immediately joining the fight.
• Large Abyssal Creatures called Ba An appeared in the sky above the Sixth Passage.

Tang Wulin absorbed a Ba An’s energy with the Golden Dragon Spear while Cai Xukun defended the Blood God Legion’s passage against Abyssal royalty. Cai Xukun defeated a Demon Enchantress and struck down her original body, while the Black Empress Clan member remained a threat.

• Cai Xukun intercepted a gray-white attack aimed at Tang Wulin, but the Limit Douluo-level force sent him crashing into Tang Wulin.
• The Enchanting Empress appeared and fixed her killing intent on Tang Wulin, so Cai Xukun struck him away from her.

Cai Xukun stopped the Enchanting Empress’s attack, then brought Tang Wulin to Blood God Camp, where Shrek and Tang Sect members learned of his connection to the destroyed academy. As the Abyssal threat loomed, Cai Xukun pursued Kunpeng Martial Soul evolution, while Gu Yuena remained unable to invade Zi Ji’s Sea of Consciousness safely.

• Gu Yuena told Di Tian that she would not act rashly against Tang Wulin because he possessed Divine Power, then lamented that Fors’s power prevented her from safely invading Zi Ji’s Sea of Consciousness.

• Na'er and Gu Yue heard Na Nali’s bell and recognized that it could bewitch minds and stir desire.

Nan Fusheng visited Dragon Valley Minor World and found the Silver Crystal had absorbed three of his Soul Spirits while nurturing a mysterious humanoid being. After reviewing the world’s inhabitants with Fu Sheng No. 1, he turned to Tianqian and the Dragon Kings, who asked if he would take them out.

• Nan Fusheng saw that the Silver Crystal had begun to show purple patterns and a humanoid outline after absorbing his Time, Star, and Spirit Soul Spirits, leaving their Soul Rings gray.
• Nan Fusheng learned from Fu Sheng No. 1 that the Black Jade Divine Bamboo had reached two hundred thousand years, the Two Dragon Kings had flown off with Tianqian, and the Giant Race could farm, reproduce, and grow stronger.

• Nan Fusheng told Fu Sheng No. 1 to introduce outside creatures for the giants to raise and to keep observing them.
• Tianqian landed with the water and Fire Dragon King, and its heads complained about being bored and asked Nan Fusheng if he planned to take them out.

Nan Fusheng brought Tianqian and Nahida to Demon Island, where they discovered destructive energy, gathered Sea Soul Beasts, and a barrier that prevented flight. The seven Old Demons of Shrek Academy noticed their arrival and decided to wait near the Destruction Crystal.

• Nan Fusheng took Tianqian out of the Dragon Valley Minor World, where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings were trying to cultivate an Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
• At the Northern Fleet Legion base, Kela's Monocle-wearing subordinates suppressed an alarm about a powerful presence approaching through the North Sea Waters.

• The seven Old Demons—Nightmare, Greed, Desire, Devouring, Sloth, Ruin, and Abomination—sensed Tianqian's arrival and agreed to wait for the visitors near the Destruction Crystal.

Nan Fusheng explored Demon Island with Nahida and Tianqian, discovering its destructive aura and the valley where the seven old demons lived. He subdued the seven and concealed the island, leaving them under his control as he prepared to study their knowledge and unusual existence.

• Nan Fusheng found that Demon Island’s dead, blackened landscape and seawater were saturated with destructive energy that eroded visitors and drained their power.

• Nan Fusheng used Fate Concealment to make the outside world overlook Demon Island.

Nan Fusheng led Tianqian to the largest Fragment of Destruction on Demon Island, where Tianqian absorbed its power and evolved a ninth head while Nahida absorbed the resulting Life Tide. The group left Tianqian resting after Nan Fusheng brought it nine smaller fragments, while the Sea Soul Beasts outside grew restless as the island’s Life Energy repeatedly surged and vanished.

• Nan Fusheng transferred nine smaller Fragments of Destruction to Tianqian, which swallowed them and rested to digest their power.

Sea Soul Beasts watched Demon Island as Leviathan secretly arrived, while Nan Fusheng saw a memory of the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life. At Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Qiangu Dongfeng prepared for the Star Dou Battle Net All-Federation Challenge, but Gu Yuena refused to participate and continued her research on artificial soul spirits.

• The Hundred-Thousand-Year Deep Sea Electric Eel, Golden Crocodile King, Evil Orca King, and Deep Sea Hawksbill Turtle decided to keep watching Demon Island rather than risk going ashore, while Leviathan slipped into its waters unnoticed.
• Nan Fusheng watched Tianqian and Nahida reveal a memory in which the God Realm was swept away and the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life fell, then secretly guided Leviathan onto Demon Island.
• Qiangu Dongfeng ordered the Spirit Pagoda to compete for first place in the Star Dou Battle Net All-Federation Challenge and offered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit as a reward; Qiangu Qingfeng refused to let Fors participate.
• Leng Yaozhu told Qiangu Dongfeng that Gu Yuena would not compete, then called her and asked her to reconsider, but Gu Yuena maintained that she had her reasons.
• After ending the call, Gu Yuena looked at a Ten-Thousand-Year Artificial Soul Spirit and lamented that the Dragon God Core was not there to help her.
