On his wedding day, Ye Tian carried Hu Liena to the bridal sedan before learning that Yu Tianheng and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan experts had arrived to cause trouble.

After marrying Hu Liena, Ye Tian met Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong to discuss his proposed Transfer Policy. Qian Daoliu argued that Spirit Hall’s strength came from its stable system of rule and made clear that he would not allow Ye Tian to undermine it.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu argued over her plan to reform Spirit Hall, with Qian Daoliu defending its existing order and warning that change could ruin its prospects.

• Bibi Dong revealed that she knew Spirit Hall still gathered faith for the Angel God, angering Qian Daoliu and disclosing her hatred of the Angel Family.
• Bibi Dong warned that divine inheritances and Spirit Hall's corrupt branches made a coming war more than a contest between Titled Douluo.

• Ye Tian argued that common people blamed Spirit Hall for extracting benefits from them and declared that Spirit Hall had grown powerful but lost its goal.

Ye Tian warned Qian Daoliu that Spirit Hall’s declining talent and isolation would leave it vulnerable to the other powers, prompting Qian Daoliu to propose selecting and training promising young people.

• Ye Tian argued that the other powers would unite against Spirit Hall and revealed that the Star Luo Empire had ordered warships from his shipyard.
• Qian Daoliu agreed Spirit Hall needed to grow stronger but rejected Bibi Dong’s Transfer Policy and proposed personally selecting and training promising young people.
• Bibi Dong suggested a comprehensive selection that would bring candidates to Spirit City for centralized training, and Qian Daoliu approved.
• After Qian Daoliu left, Bibi Dong told Ye Tian she still intended to implement the Transfer Policy, and Ye Tian said he could package it another way so Qian Daoliu could not stop it.

Ye Tian advised Bibi Dong to make Spirit Hall’s Transfer Policy more appealing by creating Inspector posts for branch hall masters, while warning that the new officials would need generous salaries. The plan won Bibi Dong’s approval, but she turned to Ye Tian for money, and he said his earnings were already spent on research, schools, and potatoes.

• Ye Tian explained that the Pope Palace lacked the prestige needed to enforce the Transfer Policy, so branch officials would resist relocating unless the policy benefited them.
• Ye Tian proposed creating Inspector positions above branch hall masters, with duties including catching criminals, investigating corruption, and supervising rule enforcement.
• Ye Tian suggested initially selecting Inspectors from among the branch hall masters, giving them a promotion while ensuring they could not openly oppose the policy.
• Bibi Dong praised the plan, hugged Ye Tian, and said the Pope Palace could announce the policy without the Hall of Elders objecting.
• Ye Tian warned that Inspectors would require salaries higher than those of hall masters, and Bibi Dong asked whether he could fund them.
• Ye Tian said most of his money went to research, building schools, and promoting potatoes, leaving little surplus from his Eastsea City business.

Ye Tian explained to Bibi Dong how Spirit Hall could use its famous brand to earn money, including fast profits, but Hu Liena interrupted before he revealed his plan. Gui Mei arrived and was stunned to learn that Hu Liena had married Ye Tian, then asked Bibi Dong whether she had approved it.

• Ye Tian told Bibi Dong that Spirit Hall's reputation could be turned into a valuable brand and used to improve its shops and profits.
• Bibi Dong agreed that Spirit Hall could earn more through brand management but worried that the approach would take too long.
• Ye Tian hinted that Spirit Hall's brand could also bring in quick money, and Bibi Dong eagerly asked how.

• Gui Mei saw Hu Liena leaning close to Ye Tian, warned him about her status as Spirit Hall's future Holy Maiden, and was shocked when she called Ye Tian her husband.
• Gui Mei asked Bibi Dong in disbelief whether she had permitted Hu Liena's marriage.

Gui Mei reported that the Hall of Elders had obstructed the Pope Palace’s work and withheld its staff wages, leaving Bibi Dong in urgent need of funds. Ye Tian proposed creating Spirit Hall Plaza, a commercial shopping center that could earn money from merchants without requiring Spirit Hall to fund construction or stock goods, but he had not yet explained how.

• Gui Mei told Bibi Dong that the Hall of Elders had seized Transfer Policy documents, delayed Pope Palace wages, and let Qianjun Douluo interfere with administrative work.
• Bibi Dong and Hu Liena blamed Qianjun Douluo for retaliating after Yue Guan Elder executed his disciple, while Gui Mei warned that unpaid Spirit Masters might resign.
• Gui Mei said the Pope Palace’s reserve treasury was already empty, and Bibi Dong asked Ye Tian how he could raise money.
• Ye Tian proposed developing commercial real estate through a Spirit Hall Plaza, promising shoppers quality goods at lower prices and compensation for counterfeits.
• Hu Liena questioned how the Pope Palace could afford to build plazas or buy merchandise, and Ye Tian said it would instead make money from merchants.

Ye Tian explained how Spirit Hall could fund the Transfer Policy by selling limited plaza storefronts and discounted shares while retaining control of the plaza’s management, operations, and brand. Bibi Dong and the others accepted his plan, which promised both quick revenue and ongoing income from property management.

• Ye Tian said merchants, not ordinary shoppers, were Spirit Hall Plaza’s immediate publicity targets, and proposed leaking that reputable sellers could buy limited storefronts, with only one seller allowed for certain goods.
• Hu Liena and Gui Mei realized merchants would eagerly pay for the storefronts, and Ye Tian explained that Spirit Hall would retain vacant land to drive up demand and valuations.
• Ye Tian proposed selling more than half of the plaza’s shares at a discount to merchant associations and nobles while keeping the storefront land’s management, operating, and brand rights.
• Ye Tian explained that a property management organization could collect monthly fees from storefronts for security and cleaning, and Gui Mei agreed that the management rights were valuable.
• Ye Tian said a few plazas could raise tens of millions within two months to fund the Transfer Policy, while Hu Liena noted that ongoing property management income would reduce the Hall of Elders’ leverage.

Ye Tian learned that Qian Renxue’s message signaled rising tensions between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, then prepared to travel to Spirit City for medicinal research and to bring his sister Ye Xinglan back. He left Zhou Long with orders to build up forces on Pearl Island as he set out under Bibi Dong’s protection.

• Bibi Dong assigned Gui Mei to prepare the Spirit Hall Plaza Project, and Ye Tian advised beginning in the affiliated kingdoms bordering Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
• Qian Daoliu overheard the plan and decided the Hall of Elders would take control of the project and begin ahead of the Pope Palace.
• Ye Tian read Qian Renxue’s message that Xue Ye had closed the border with Star Luo after learning of her assassination, then heard that a Heaven Dou representative would soon negotiate in Eastsea City.
• Ye Tian told Chen Jian to manage his businesses and staff reductions while he traveled to Spirit City to consult the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and bring Ye Xinglan home.
• Ye Tian ordered Zhou Long to train a new army on Pearl Island and help Purple Pearl bring the surrounding islands under their control.

• Ye Tian told Yu Tianheng he could leave, and Yu Tianheng hurried out of the farm despite doubting he would be spared.
• Thirteen explained that Yu Tianheng could use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s intelligence network to reach Star Luo Empire territory, then deflected Bibi Dong’s questions about his own network.

Bibi Dong failed to recruit Chen Jian, Zhou Long, and Thirteen, then told Ye Tian to prepare to travel to Spirit City. On New Year’s Day, Ye Tian received ancient parchment from the system, and Hu Liena began translating its instructions for an Image Recording Soul Guidance Device.

• Bibi Dong accepted the elders’ refusal to join Spirit Hall and told Ye Tian they would leave for Spirit City the next day.
• Zhou Long suggested bringing the North Star Squad for protection, but Ye Tian decided they should remain on the East Sea Coast to avoid exposure.

• Hu Liena translated the ancient writing while Ye Tian brought breakfast, and she happily spotted her favorite yellow croaker.

On New Year’s Day, Ye Tian and Hu Liena examined blueprints for a Soul Guidance Camera and LCD Screen, and Ye Tian recognized their potential for entertainment and propaganda. Ning Fengzhi summoned Ye Tian to the villa, so Sea Witch insisted on accompanying him, with Xiao Bai joining her.

• Ye Tian studied the blueprints Hu Liena translated and identified the Soul Guidance Camera and Soul Guidance LCD Screen as image-storage and display devices.
• Ye Tian explained that the devices could broadcast voices across the continent and help Spirit Hall spread its message and earn money.
• Chen Jian told Ye Tian that Ning Fengzhi had sent someone to invite him to the villa, interrupting his New Year’s celebration.
• Sea Witch and Xiao Bai wished Ye Tian a happy new year, and Sea Witch insisted on accompanying him to ensure his safety.
• Xiao Bai swallowed her food and said she would go with Sea Witch because she did not want to stay alone in an unfamiliar place.

Ye Tian told the Sea Witch and Xiao Bai that Bo Saixi would have to die as the buffer for his divine inheritance, while pretending he did not want godhood for that reason. He returned to his villa and confronted a gathering of Heaven Dou and Star Luo representatives, ending with Yu Yuanzhen criticizing his manners.

• Ye Tian explained that Bo Saixi would die while temporarily bearing the divine power needed for him to become a god, alarming the Sea Witch and Xiao Bai.
• Ye Tian claimed he did not want godhood because he would not sacrifice another person for power, and the Sea Witch believed him.
• Ning Rongrong met Ye Tian at the villa and mistook the Sea Witch for his newlywed wife, prompting an awkward exchange.
• Ye Tian entered the crowded living room, where Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Xing, and other visitors had gathered.
• Yu Yuanzhen challenged Ye Tian, and Ye Tian replied that he treated people from enemy nations without ceremony.

Qian Renxue confronted Yu Yuanzhen over the assassination of Crown Prince Qinghe as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing represented the Star Luo Empire in negotiations. The talks were paused until the afternoon, but Qian Renxue asked Ye Tian to stay and speak with her privately.

• Dai Mubai objected to Qian Renxue’s accusation that the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire were nearing war, and Ye Tian recognized him and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Qian Renxue challenged Yu Yuanzhen to account for the Yu Family experts held in Eastsea City, while Yu Yuanzhen denied knowing what had happened.
• Ning Fengzhi told Dai Mubai that Yu Family experts and Evil Soul Masters had attacked Crown Prince Qinghe and that Ning Rongrong had nearly died from a Blood Demon Power injury.
• Dai Mubai proposed pausing the negotiations until the afternoon, and Snow Star Prince supported taking a break for a meal.
• Ye Tian objected to being made to wait, while Ning Rongrong scolded him for not considering the bigger picture.
• Qian Renxue asked Ye Tian to come with her because she had something to tell him.

Ye Tian advised Qian Renxue to use Ning Rongrong’s friendship with Dai Mubai to sideline Ning Fengzhi during negotiations over the assassination attempt. Afterward, Ning Fengzhi considered capturing Xiao Bai for her precious soul ring but abandoned the idea when Sword Douluo warned him of Sea Witch’s strength.

• Qian Renxue told Ye Tian that Heaven Dou Empire needed Star Luo Empire to apologize for the assassination attempt without letting the dispute damage their standing against Spirit Hall.
• Ye Tian suggested revealing at the banquet that Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai were close classmates, giving Ning Fengzhi reason to avoid the negotiations.
• Sword Douluo recognized Xiao Bai as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and Ning Fengzhi briefly coveted her before Sword Douluo warned that Sea Witch was likely a Titled Douluo.
• Sea Witch asked Ye Tian about his meeting with Qian Renxue, and he said he had treated Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and was attending the negotiations as a witness.
• Xiao Bai asked whether there would be fish at the banquet, and Sea Witch reminded her that they were guests at a formal diplomatic event.

At Ye Tian’s villa, a luncheon meant to ease diplomatic tensions turned into an opportunity for Qian Renxue to draw Dai Mubai into a revealing conversation. As Snow Star Prince grew suspicious of the chicken soup, the chapter ended with him challenging Ye Tian over the risk to the guests.

• Ye Tian welcomed Xiao Bai and ordered a seafood feast, while Sea Witch insisted on getting two portions.
• Snow Star Prince complained about the villa’s cleanliness as the guests gathered for lunch, and Ning Fengzhi urged everyone to save diplomacy for the afternoon.
• Qian Renxue praised Dai Mubai’s strength and drew out his connection to Ning Rongrong, leaving Ning Fengzhi concerned about how the admission could affect negotiations.
• Snow Star Prince hinted that Ning Fengzhi’s ties to Dai Mubai could make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appear disloyal to Heaven Dou.
• After the chicken soup was served, Snow Star Prince questioned its unusual fragrance and the maid’s nervousness, then challenged Ye Tian to answer for the guests’ safety.
