• Jiang Ming found nearly a hundred dead Soul Engineers and buried them, keeping Zhao Ming’s skull to take to his parents’ grave.

Jiang Ming learned about Xiao Shi’s limited ability to control time and discovered that Little Spirit had preserved Mu En’s remolded body through the Small World’s time acceleration. He brought the completed young body to Mu En and prepared to begin the difficult process of transferring his soul.

• Jiang Ming learned that Xiao Shi could alter time in a limited area, reaching a ten-to-one ratio across about one thousand cubic meters, but could not freely accelerate cultivation.

• Jiang Ming restored the Radiant Holy Dragon with light and dark power, then released the seal on Mu En’s first Soul Ring so Mu En could draw it onto the Martial Soul.

Jiang Ming resurrected Mu En and rapidly restored his cultivation by returning his soul rings and supplying Heaven and Earth Yuan Power. Mu En condensed a Soul Core at Level 73 and reached Level 90 in just over two hours, as Jiang Ming continued helping him recover.

• Jiang Ming returned Mu En’s soul rings one by one, and Mu En’s Soul Power rose rapidly from zero as his body absorbed the stored energy and Heaven and Earth Yuan Power.
• Jiang Ming drew more Heaven and Earth Yuan Power into the fiftyfold time-flow region, helping Mu En advance to Level 73 and restoring his first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Mu En stopped Jiang Ming and proposed condensing a Soul Core while his Spiritual Power remained at the level of a Limit Douluo.

• Thirty-six veiled girls appeared on the lake, followed by Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan, opening the Sea God's Fate event.

Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan began hosting Sea God's Fate, but Mu En emerged from Jiang Ming's Book of Spirits Small World and took over so the two could participate. The Inner Court disciples were left bewildered as Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan took their places among the matchmaking participants.

• Jiang Ming opened Sea God's Fate and explained how the male students would claim positions on the water lilies.

• Mu En sent Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan to join the matchmaking event, and Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan flew to the male and female positions.
• Jiang Ming told the puzzled students that he and Zhang Lexuan were participating in Sea God's Fate, while Mu En took over as host.

Jiang Ming joined Sea God's Fate and used his power to lift five girls’ bamboo hats before Xu Sanshi successfully revealed Jiang Nannan. After Gu Fan attacked the girls with a wave, Wu Ming and Ruo Ruo stopped him, and the Masked Host expelled him from the event and ordered him to reflect for a month.

• Jiang Ming conjured water lilies for himself and Zhang Lexuan, then promised Xu Sanshi he would not compete for Jiang Nannan.
• Jiang Ming used a controlled suction force to lift five bamboo hats, while Zhang Lexuan steadied the girls who nearly fell.

• Gu Fan summoned a wave to drench the girls, but Wu Ming blocked it with Golden Crow True Fire and Ruo Ruo bound him with a golden rope and threw him into the lake.
• The Masked Host pulled Gu Fan from the lake, barred him from continuing, and ordered him to face the wall and reflect for one month.

During the Sea God's Fate matchmaking event, Jiang Ming kept unruly students in check as Huo Yuhao and He Caitou startled the girls with their unconventional tactics. The first stage ended with twenty male students in the water, five girls still wearing their hats, and Jiang Ming still awaiting his chance to propose.

• The Masked Host punished Gu Fan for trying to splash the girls and threw him onto the shore.
• After several failed attempts, a fast Inner Court student removed Wu Ming's bamboo hat, honoring her agreement to choose whoever succeeded.

• Jiang Ming privately told Huo Yuhao they would spar after the event, leaving Huo Yuhao bewildered and alarmed.
• The first stage ended with twenty of the seventy-two male students, including Jiang Ming, in the water, while five female students still wore their bamboo hats.

During Sea God's Fate, Jiang Ming received every girl’s light in the second stage, while Huo Yuhao also earned strong support and several male students were eliminated. The third stage began with self-introductions, as the Sea God Pavilion Elders recognized the Masked Host’s Aura of Light as Mu En’s.

• The girls kept all thirty-eight lamps lit for Jiang Ming, then left twenty-eight lit for Huo Yuhao; He Caitou and Xu Sanshi received far fewer lights.
• The Masked Host began the third stage, explaining that each boy would introduce himself before the girls made one final choice.

• Jiang Ming drew number six, and the first boy began his introduction above the water.

Jiang Ming took his turn at Sea God's Fate and stunned everyone by revealing nine genuine, extraordinarily powerful red Soul Rings before openly declaring his love for Zhang Lexuan.

At Sea God's Fate, Jiang Ming's confession to Zhang Lexuan and his nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings overshadowed the other contestants, while He Caitou confessed to Xiao Xiao and Xu Sanshi reunited with Jiang Nannan. The exhausted students began the fourth segment, where the girls would choose their matches, leaving the boys hoping the girls would not choose Jiang Ming.

• The Masked Host interrupted Jiang Ming's confession to Zhang Lexuan, and Zhang Lexuan calmed Wu Ming while planning to demand an explanation later.

• Ning Tian approached Jiang Ming and asked him to give her a chance, while the students watched for his response.

At Sea God's Fate, Ning Tian chose Jiang Ming, but Zhang Lexuan encouraged him to accommodate her, leaving everyone confused. Ning Tian’s attempt to support Jiang Ming with her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda backfired because he was a Titled Douluo, while Wu Ming chose Chu Qingtian after he fled into the lake; Han Ruoruo’s turn followed with no male students stepping forward.

• Wang Yan sincerely confessed to Han Ruoruo, and she accepted before leaving the event with him; Elder Xuan approved their match but warned Wang Yan to invite the elders to his wedding.
• Wu Feng chose Dai Huabin, then Qiu Ying confessed that she had admired Jiang Ming for twelve years and joined him on a patch of ice.
• Jiang Ming learned that Qiu Ying was vice president of his fan group and Zhang Lexuan was its president, while Ning Tian and Qiu Ying admitted they knew they had little chance with him.
• Ma Xiaotao flew to Jiang Ming and stood beside him, followed by Jilan, who also chose him despite saying she did not like him that much.
• Another bamboo-hatted girl created a long ice bridge leading directly to Jiang Ming, leaving him overwhelmed by the growing number of women choosing him.

Ling Luochen and several other girls joined Ma Xiaotao around Jiang Ming, and Zhang Lexuan finally took his place in the Sea God's Fate pairing. As the Hundred Years of Harmony round began, Dai Huabin challenged Huo Yuhao for the Number Two girl, and Jiang Ming created a floating land platform for their fight.

• Ling Luochen and three more girls chose Jiang Ming, bringing the number surrounding him to eight before Zhang Lexuan arrived and stood on his water lily.

• Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin flew to the floating land to fight, while Jiang Ming and the others rose into the air to watch.

• Xiao Xiao and He Caitou paired up as the fifth stage continued, leaving Jiang Ming's choice as the anticipated main event.
• The Masked Host asked Jiang Ming to make his choice among the nine female students who had selected him.

Jiang Ming chose Zhang Lexuan as his bride, and the ceremony moved to its challenge stage. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen revealed that they had both reached Rank Eight and gained Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, setting up a fight against Zhang Lexuan.

• Jiang Ming thanked the other eight female students and chose Zhang Lexuan, who joined him on the water lily.
