Qian Renxue began her coup against Xue Ye with the Heaven Dou Palace and Royal Knights under her control. After Xue Ye confronted her about poisoning him and working with Spirit Hall, their argument exposed the opposing views behind the coup.

• Qian Renxue prepared to overthrow Xue Ye after Spirit Hall personnel took control of the palace, the city garrison, and most of the Royal Knights.
• Kong, She Long, and Ci Xue accompanied Qian Renxue into the palace, where the guards let them pass.
• Xue Ye accused Qian Renxue of killing his other sons, poisoning him, and secretly winning over the Royal Knights, then asked why she had allied with Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue admitted to her actions and demanded that Xue Ye abdicate, while he argued that the throne was already meant to pass to her.
• Qian Renxue defended Spirit Hall's work for commoners, but Xue Ye condemned its influence and insisted that empowering commoners threatened the Xue family's rule.

Xue Ye revealed his hidden army and confronted Qian Renxue, who exposed that she had replaced the real Xue Qinghe and that all four princes were dead. As the soldiers attacked, Kong summoned the Douluo Thunder God's Hammer and called down lightning over Heaven Dou City.

• Xue Ye surrounded the hall with his 3,600-strong Death Soldier legion and threatened Qian Renxue, Ci Xue, She Long, and Kong.

• Kong called on the Thunder God and summoned the Douluo Thunder God's Hammer as dark clouds and lightning covered Heaven Dou City.

Kong entered the God King Realm as the Thunder God and declared that he would oversee Douluo Continent and judge evil. His new rules promised soul masters could gain soul rings by enduring Heavenly Tribulation instead of killing soul beasts, while evildoers faced heavenly lightning.

Kong revised Douluo Continent’s rules so Tang San was struck by a tribulation despite already having a Sixth Soul Ring, forcing him to confront memories of his past and the Tang Sect. The Silver Dragon King and the Soul Beast kings awoke to the changed rules and wondered whether Kong intended to help Soul Beasts.

• Tang San learned that Kong had become a god and lamented that he had not done so sooner, prompting a bolt of lightning to strike nearby.
• Kong noticed that Tang San was level sixty despite already having a Sixth Soul Ring, revised the rules, and sent lightning to strike him without granting a reward.

• Tang San awoke from the visions as another massive bolt struck him, then saw Mandala Snakes and defended killing them in self-defense.
• The Soul Beast kings awoke in Star Dou Great Forest, and the Silver Dragon King sensed that Kong might be more powerful than a God King and might be helping Soul Beasts.

Kong established new rules for soul beasts and humans, then announced that people with powerful desires could receive Visions and gain the possibility of becoming gods. At the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, he offered Xue Ye’s Death Soldiers a chance to surrender and return to farming, but they waited for Xue Ye’s command.

• The 3,600 Death Soldiers offered Kong their faith, but he told them to rise and said they were born free.

After Kong freed the Death Soldiers, their devotion to him grew into fanatical worship, and they received Visions after pledging to help fulfill his dream.

The Clear Sky Sect decided to send Blazing Sun Douluo and Tang Yuehua to congratulate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• A scout told Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong that more than 3,000 purple meteors had been identified as Visions and that a legion of 3,600 Soul Masters had marched out of Heaven Dou City.

• Kong returned to the Plane of Euthymia, where Ei explained that Raiden Shogun’s bond with him had ended after he surpassed level one hundred.
• Ei confirmed that Raiden Shogun had developed her own sense of self and that she and Shogun could now appear in the outside world at the same time.

• Yue Guan confirmed that Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls, shocking Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

• Qian Daoliu withdrew his Martial Soul, recognizing that Kong had spared him and Bibi Dong from a potentially fatal lightning strike.

Bibi Dong survived the first round of Kong’s Thunder Tribulation and gained a Red Soul Ring, but the clouds gathered again, forcing her to retreat to Pope’s Hall. The Rakshasa God then warned her about Kong’s God King-level power and urged her to kill the Asura God’s inheritor to strengthen her own Deity Position.

• Kong realized that Bibi Dong’s second martial soul still had vacant Soul Ring slots, so her Thunder Tribulation would continue after each new ring.
