After losing the Mecha Battle final to Xia Yi, Tang Wulin resolved to cultivate harder while Poseidon advised him and questioned Long Yeyue’s assumptions.

• Poseidon said the God Realm had more than five veteran God Kings because Tang San and the Asura God could return, and Long Yeyue scolded him for speaking disrespectfully of Tang San.
• Poseidon explained that the Silver Dragon King’s recovery and Xia Yi’s power surpassed his expectations, so he would not risk fighting Leng Yaozhu and Xia Yi before the God Realm returned.

After watching Xia Yi’s Mecha Battle, Poseidon judged that Xia Yi’s ice abilities could surpass the Snow Empress’s and planned to avoid a direct confrontation if Xia Yi and his allies became too powerful.

He then brought Gu Yue and the Demon Empress into the preparations for a cross-plane wedding, while Ya Li remained unaware that Xia Yi intended to marry her.

• Leng Yaozhu offered three options for the wedding, and Leng Yulai chose to ignore public condemnation before teasing her sister about Xia Yi’s hidden plan.

Xia Yi and Gu Yue confronted Tang Wulin over the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and Gu Yue extracted it despite Tang San’s brief intervention.

Ah Yin confronted Leng Yaozhu while the Goddess of Life explained how Ah Yin had nearly become a Life Ancient Tree and why she could not yet match Leng Yaozhu. Ya Li learned that the Goddess of Life was guiding her in hopes she might someday spare the surviving Gods, but she remained unwilling to promise that she would help them against Xia Yi and the Soul Beasts.

• Ah Yin attacked Leng Yaozhu with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and Leng Yaozhu cut through her vines with the Yellow Emperor Sword.
• The Goddess of Life told Ya Li that Ah Yin was a quasi-Life Ancient Tree whose evolution still required more life energy, though her status as the Douluo Plane's Core of Life made her difficult to defeat there.

• The Goddess of Life revealed that she was nurturing Ya Li in the hope that Ya Li might help the surviving Gods if the God Realm fell.
• Ya Li questioned whether accepting the Goddess of Life's guidance meant aiding the enemy, then fell silent rather than promise to plead for the Gods.

• Long Yeyue accused Ya Li of gaining her strength by betraying Shrek Academy, while the narration explained Ya Li’s cultivation and her reluctance to become a god.
• The narration noted that Ya Li could contend with Ah Yin and that Leng Yulai’s greater concern was Poseidon possibly regaining god-level combat power.

Ah Yin used the Seven Old Demons as shields against Leng Yaozhu, triggering the hidden power Tang Hao had planted in them and causing them to explode. Leng Yaozhu contained the blast and realized Tang Hao had absorbed their soul power, while she and Leng Yulai continued their plans involving the God Realm and Lan Fozi’s future battle with Poseidon.

• Ah Yin sensed Ya Li’s Divine Origin Realm strength as Leng Yaozhu attacked her with the Yellow Emperor Sword.
• Ah Yin sent the injured Seven Old Demons into the sword’s path and declared that they should sacrifice themselves for Shrek.

• Leng Yaozhu considered how she and Leng Yulai would use Poseidon’s return to pursue the power of the God Realm and enable Lan Fozi to become a god and face him.

After the failed attack on Leng Yaozhu, Tang San appeared to explain his remaining chances to intervene and urged the others to stop acting recklessly. He left Tang Wulin with reassurance about his physical strength, but Wulin remained despairing about his condition.

• Long Yeyue lamented that the Seven Old Demons had failed to kill Leng Yaozhu, and Ah Yin said their sacrifice had at least revealed Leng Yaozhu’s strength.
• Tang San emerged from Tang Wulin and explained that Gu Yue had destroyed only his weakest intervention, while his appearance had used his second chance; without the Sea God Trident, he could not guarantee killing the Silver Dragon King.
• Ah Yin explained that Poseidon had taken the Sea God Trident and might flee the Douluo Plane, while Tang San said leaving the plane could be wise and urged everyone to avoid further reckless attacks.
• Tang San and Ah Yin warned Long Yeyue to stop risking Wulin and Chen Xinjie, and Tang Wulin supported them, saying survival was the only way to preserve hope.
• Tang Wulin asked whether Tang San had overcome the inherited Lone Hero problem, and Tang San and Ah Yin clarified that Tang San was normal and had misunderstood the term.
• Tang San promised to increase Tang Wulin’s physical strength more than tenfold when his true body arrived, but Wulin complained that ten times his current limit still meant only ten seconds.
