Snow Star Prince and Yu Tianheng brought Ye Tian to Butterfly Farm under heavy guard to investigate Yu Tianheng’s claim that he had been imprisoned there.

Ye Tian prepared to leave the East Sea Coast for Spirit City and arranged for the farm to operate in his absence. Sea Witch joined his journey after Ye Tian replaced the valuable farm goods she had packed with three Heavenly Essence Pills, and the group set off to bring his sister back.

• Ye Tian instructed Zhou Long to keep the Heavenly Strategy Army's expansion secret and told his allies to use a soldier wearing his mask to fool the spies watching the farm.
• Ye Tian rejected Chen Jian's proposal to castrate the Fire Spirit Chickens, explaining that the empires would struggle to reproduce the farm's high-quality stock without its hot environment and abundant insect-type soul beasts.
• Sea Witch asked Ye Tian for another carriage, and he discovered that she had filled her carriages with food and a load of the farm's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

• Ye Tian prepared to leave for Spirit City to bring his sister back, while the farm's leaders remained behind to carry out his instructions.

• Ye Tian and Hu Liena read the city gate notice board and were shocked to see a headline announcing that Spirit Hall Plaza was opening soon.

• Ye Tian and Hu Liena found Spirit Hall workers promoting the plaza with discounts and guarantees, though promotion was not supposed to have begun yet.
• Hu Liena showed a Spirit Hall elder's jade token to a worker, who said a mysterious superior had ordered the capital's main hall staff to promote the plaza two days earlier.

• Bibi Dong realized the Hall of Elders had learned of the Spirit Hall Plaza Project and had moved ahead with it.

• Ye Tian urged Bibi Dong to focus on building her own power base and target the Spirit Hall Plaza Project in the Barak Capital.
• Bibi Dong agreed that she could seize the project in the Barak Capital even if Qian Daoliu came to stop her.

Ye Tian urged Bibi Dong and Hu Liena to build the Pope Palace’s strength by uniting commoners, arguing that this could overcome the Hall of Elders’ advantages. Bibi Dong accepted the idea and decided they would go to the Royal Palace the next day to drive Qianjun Douluo back to Spirit City, then asked Ye Tian to stay behind with her.

• Hu Liena questioned whether developing the Balak Kingdom would matter if the Hall of Elders later took control of it.
• Ye Tian argued that commoners vastly outnumbered soul masters and could give the Pope Palace a stronger base than the Hall of Elders.
• Bibi Dong challenged whether appealing to commoners would undermine Spirit Hall’s identity, but Ye Tian pointed out the Hall of Elders’ advantages and the Pope Palace’s limited ability to compete.
• Bibi Dong asked whether commoners’ power could replace the Hall of Elders, and Ye Tian persuaded her that it could.
• Bibi Dong promised Ye Tian the position of Pope after the Hall of Elders was dissolved, then announced they would go to the Royal Palace the next day to drive Qianjun Douluo back to Spirit City.
• Bibi Dong sent Hu Liena away and moved beside Ye Tian, leaving him wondering what she intended.

• Ye Tian told Bibi Dong that he intended to use Spirit Hall to advance his plan because acting independently would provoke the gods.
• Bibi Dong revealed that she had received the Rakshasa God's inheritance after failing to gain the God of Slaughter's favor in the City of Slaughter.

• Ye Tian told Bibi Dong that Bo Saixi could show her how to access the Sea God's godhood on Sea God Island.
• Ye Tian warned Bibi Dong that pursuing the Sea God's position could bring the Sea God's wrath, then said the Sea God's power was worthless.

Ye Tian decided to travel alone to Spirit City to find his sister, Ye Xinglan, while Bibi Dong prepared to negotiate with Qianjun Douluo. On the road, he promised Sea Witch and Xiao Bai a visit to the Star Dou Great Forest after he reunited with his sister.

• Bibi Dong accepted that she would have to pursue the Sea God Position on her own and worried about Ye Tian traveling to Spirit City without her.
• Ye Tian reassured Bibi Dong, who gave him the Pope Exclusive Token and explained that Ye Xinglan had joined the Spirit Hall Special Training Program.

• Sea Witch learned that Ye Tian had refined the pills he gave her and tried to persuade him to inherit the Sea God Position, but he did not respond.

• Ye Tian called Bibi Dong his wife and asked Xuan Miaoyin whether she thought she would leave alive.

• Xuan Miaoyin tried to bargain with Ye Tian by offering information about the King of Slaughter, but he initially refused to help her.
• Xuan Miaoyin revealed that Tang Chen was weakened and possessed a divine weapon, then offered to swear loyalty to Ye Tian if he refined a cure for her addiction.
