After Di Tian and the other soul beasts retreated from the Lake of Life, Su He and the Spirit Hall group returned to Spirit City while Tang Chen set out to visit Sea God Island and his great-grandson. Su He reunited with Qian Renxue, who continued carrying Spirit Hall’s political burdens, and promised to help once he advanced his divine trial.

• Su He challenged the Destruction Remnant for the ninth time and was struck down by Destruction Divine Thunder despite improving his ability to counter its attacks.
• Su He identified his inability to resist the aura of destruction as his main obstacle and drew inspiration from the chaotic power in his dantian.

Su He began his tenth challenge against the Destruction Remnant, using the Ice-Sealing Sacred Body to slow the enemy and read its movements. He set a trap with the Emperor Lion Halberd, leaving the outcome of their clash unresolved as the God King of Destruction considered lowering the trial's difficulty.

• Su He entered his tenth challenge and chose offense over the Mountain Mist Sacred Body against the Destruction Remnant.

• Su He attacked with Ice Rain and deliberately exposed an opening to lure the remnant into striking.
• Su He summoned the Emperor Lion Halberd to meet the remnant's scepter, while the God King of Destruction doubted he could win and considered lowering the difficulty.

• Su He planned to consolidate his cultivation while Spirit Hall prepared for threats from Tang San, the Star Luo Empire, Evil Spirit Masters, and gods in the God Realm.
• One year later, Qian Renxue fought a Rakshasa-like Inner Demon during her Eighth Trial in the Angel Secret Realm.
• Su He reassured Qian Daoliu that Qian Renxue would be fine, then asked what would happen to Qian Daoliu and said he could not hide the truth from her forever.

Over the year, Su He strengthened Spirit Hall’s influence while rising to Rank Eighty-Nine, and Spirit Hall reached a strategic alliance with the Sun Moon Empire at the First Conference of Continental Heads. Meanwhile, Tang San continued his Sea God trial and faced another overwhelming defeat against Bo Saixi.

• Su He expanded the Execution Hall’s reach, gained the feared title Lionheart Asura, and effectively handled Spirit Hall’s affairs while the Pope remained in seclusion.

• Zhu Zhuqing remained with Spirit Hall despite efforts by the Star Luo Imperial Family and Zhu Clan to reclaim her, while Ghost Douluo began guiding her cultivation.
• Tang San faced Bo Saixi for his sixth attempt at the Sixth Sea God Trial, but the Level Eighty-Two Tang San was defeated well before he could endure for an incense stick’s time.

• Tang San faced Bo Saixi in the Soul Fighting Arena while Tang Chen watched, and Tang San’s first six attempts to endure her attacks were recalled.
• Tang San opened with the Clear Sky Hammer and Disorder Splitting Wind, but Bo Saixi caught the hammer and drove him back with her Ocean Current Whirlwind.

• Bo Saixi effortlessly blasted Tang San and his Martial Soul Avatar to the ground with a single push.
• Tang San got back to his feet and saw that two-thirds of the incense remained, realizing how unlikely it was that he could last the full trial.

Tang San used the Vast Sea Crystal to shield himself while he entered enlightenment during the Sixth Trial, leaving Bo Saixi and Tang Chen horrified by the Sea God's apparent assistance. As the trial's incense burned down, Bo Saixi and the Sacred Pillar Douluo lost faith in the Sea God and began to turn away from Sea God Island.

• Tang San recalled Bo Saixi's movements and entered enlightenment while holding the Original Crystal, stunning Bo Saixi and Tang Chen.
• Bo Saixi hesitated to interrupt Tang San, then used her Fourth Spirit Skill, Vortex Cage, against him.
• The Vast Sea Crystal formed an impenetrable barrier around Tang San, convincing Bo Saixi that the Sea God had enabled him to cheat in the trial.
• Tang Chen attacked the barrier with his Clear Sky Hammer, failed to break it, and denounced Tang San as unworthy of the Clear Sky Sect.
• Bo Saixi told Tang Chen she could no longer fulfill her promise as the incense neared its end.
• Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Witch Douluo arrived, and Sea Spear Douluo suggested that the Sacred Pillar Douluo leave Sea God Island.

After Tang San passed the Sea God’s Sixth Trial through cheating, Tang Chen attacked him while Bo Saixi lost faith in her role as Great Priest. Bo Saixi renounced the Sea God’s blessing and crippled her cultivation, but a Life Spirit Crystal saved her life, allowing her and Tang Chen to leave Sea God Island.

• Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Witch Douluo returned to their residences, accepting that they were trapped on Sea God Island but deciding to stop serving it.
• Tang San passed the Sixth Trial, received his rewards, and ignored Bo Saixi’s silence before Tang Chen struck him and condemned his cheating.

• Tang Chen urged Bo Saixi to leave Sea God Island with him, and she recovered enough resolve to renounce her position and cripple her cultivation and martial soul.
• A Life Spirit Crystal that Tang Chen had received from Su He preserved Bo Saixi’s life and granted her five hundred years of lifespan.
• Tang Chen carried the unconscious Bo Saixi away from Sea God Island, intending to disappear with her.

Tang San received the Sea God's help to continue his trials after Bo Saixi left, while Su He and Yan purged a horrific village and prepared to extend Spirit Hall's campaign against evil across the continent. Su He returned to focus on breaking through Level Ninety as his Seventh Trial began to unfold.

• After Tang San passed the Sixth Trial, the Sea God sent an avatar to oversee his Seventh and Eighth Trials and tasked him with drawing the Sea God Trident.
• Su He and Yan entered a blood-soaked town, where Su He used his Golden Eyes of Disillusionment to locate imprisoned children and uncover the villagers' atrocities.

• Su He handed Execution Hall duties to Yan and Xie Yue and began preparing to break through Level Ninety as his Seventh Trial gradually emerged.

After reaching Level Ninety, Su He received the God of Destruction's Seventh Trial: marrying Qian Renxue within a year. He rushed to tell her and Spirit Hall's elders, who agreed the wedding should take place in about half a year.

• Su He returned to Spirit City and secluded himself for three months, breaking through to Level Ninety.
• The God King of Destruction appeared and issued Su He's Seventh Trial, requiring him to marry within a year and offering a God-Bestowed Soul Ring or the God King's assistance as a reward.

• Su He blurted out that he wanted to marry Qian Renxue, startling her and the elders before explaining the trial.
• Qian Daoliu suggested holding the wedding half a year later so Su He's absent grandfather could attend.

Su He took over as acting Pope while Qian Renxue entered seclusion, and decided that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would be his Ninth Soul Ring target. When Ning Fengzhi visited seeking access to Spirit Hall’s Soul Tool master, Su He demanded that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect prove its standing beyond that of an ally.

• Qian Renxue revealed that she had reached level eighty-nine and could obtain her Ninth Soul Ring through her Divine Trial, while Su He planned to wait until she completed its Eighth Trial before seeking his own ring.
• Su He chose the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as his Ninth Soul Ring target because killing it would also hinder Tang San’s Sea God trial.

• Ning Fengzhi asked Su He to introduce him to Soul Tool master Hongchen, but Su He said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s status as an ally was not enough to gain access.
• Sword Douluo objected to Su He’s forceful response, and Su He asserted his authority as acting Pope.

• Qian Renxue emerged from seclusion and supported Su He's demands that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect relocate its key members to Spirit City.

• Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen sensed the approaching attack and ordered everyone to abandon the ship.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King blasted and swallowed the ship, recognized the group’s powerful lineup, and vowed to bury them in his domain.
