After he defeated the Ten-Thousand-Year Winged Tail Bees with his Pocket Watch Martial Soul, the Golden Winged Queen Bee confronted him over Xu Xiao stealing its honey.

• Di Tian refused Rooster Douluo’s request on Star Dou Great Forest’s behalf and told him that the forest would not join festivals related to gods.
• Zi Ji said the forest might participate if Rooster Douluo could persuade its Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and he accepted the challenge.
