Zhu Zhuqing chose to become stronger and asked her sister to follow Yichen’s plan.

• Dai Yichen reasoned that Zhu Zhuyun’s past pursuit of Zhu Zhuqing may have been a way to protect her from Dai Weisi and the imperial family’s deadly competition.
• Dai Yichen suggested Zhu Zhuyun and the Zhu Family head had allowed Zhu Zhuqing to escape to the Heaven Dou Empire, keeping her out of the struggle.

• Zhu Zhuyun said the assassination attempts would continue only as a performance for Dai Weisi and urged Zhu Zhuqing to wait for her Martial Soul Awakening.

• Bibi Dong considered asking Yue Guan about immortal herbs, hoping they could improve Yu Xiaogang's cultivation.
• Liu Erlong read the diary at Blue Tyrant Academy and wondered if immortal herbs could solve Yu Xiaogang's problem.

Liu Erlong reflected on her separation from Yu Xiaogang while Dugu Yan planned to claim the immortal herbs mentioned in Dai Yichen’s diary. Dai Yichen received a psychic energy cultivation method and Spirit Eyes as his first diary reward, leaving him convinced his power could grow beyond ordinary limits.

• Liu Erlong considered how she had founded Blue Tyrant Academy and remained in Heaven Dou City waiting for Yu Xiaogang, while Flender’s Shrek Academy remained unvisited.

• Dai Yichen realized that conviction could let him exceed his limits and felt a belief in invincibility rise within him.

• Dai Yichen tested his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and reviewed the soul rings and skills he hoped to obtain.
• Dai Yichen realized the system had never promised points for writing a diary and considered soul rings for his White Tiger Psychic Lock Martial Soul.

• Zhu Zhuyun's Soul Power increased enough for her to break through, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong sensed no clear change.
• Dugu Yan found that her cultivation speed had slightly increased, and the system announced that Dai Yichen had mentioned Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Yichen’s Diary rewards stirred envy among the women, while Zhu Zhuqing wondered what her Darkness Mastery attribute would do. After beginning a new cultivation technique, Dai Yichen was summoned to the Imperial Study, where Dai Yutian and Zhu Ming considered his future and his thoughts on the imperial family’s path forward.

• The Diary System revealed that Zhu Zhuqing had received the Darkness Mastery attribute, while the other Diary holders saw only a hidden reward and worried they could not get close to Dai Yichen.
• Zhu Zhuqing planned to ask her sister about the reward, while Zhu Zhuyun hoped to interact with Dai Yichen and gain strength to resist Dai Weisi’s pressure.

• Zhu Ming invited Dai Yichen to call him Uncle Zhu, and Dai Yichen did so while wondering whether Dai Yutian approved.

Dai Yichen challenged the cruelty of the Star Luo royal competition rules after Zhu Ming explained Zhu Zhuqing’s arranged betrothal to Dai Mubai. Dai Yutian revealed that he expected Yichen to seek reforms, ending by asking whether Yichen wanted Zhu Zhuqing to die or Zhu Ming to grieve.

• Dai Yutian told Dai Yichen he would enroll at Star Luo Royal Academy in half a month, while Zhu Ming asked what he thought of Zhuqing and explained the original betrothal plan.
• Dai Yichen reminded Dai Yutian that he had promised not to betroth Zhuqing to Dai Mubai, then criticized the royal competition rules as inhumane and unfair to younger princes.
• Dai Yutian defended the rules as a way to strengthen the royal family and prevent internal unrest, while Zhu Ming hoped Yichen could make them more humane.
• Dai Yichen guessed that Dai Yutian wanted him to change the system, but Dai Yutian said it was Yichen who wanted reform and asked whether he wanted Zhu Zhuqing to die or Zhu Ming to grieve.

Dai Yichen proposed making the imperial competition less brutal, and Dai Yutian agreed to consider reform if Yichen could prove his strength by defeating his Eldest Brother at age twelve. Dai Yutian also granted Yichen freedom to travel for several years, leaving him able to plan a journey into the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Dai Yichen pretended to object to the competition rules before Dai Yutian invited him to speak candidly during their father-son talk.
• Dai Yichen proposed keeping the competition framework while sparing losers from death or having their cultivation crippled, and suggested different matchups for those who could not use the Hell White Tiger.
• Dai Yichen argued that the imperial family should not rely solely on the Hell White Tiger and claimed his Martial Soul could make him the family's first Titled Douluo.
• Dai Yutian challenged Dai Yichen to defeat his Eldest Brother at age twelve before he would approve the proposed reforms, and Yichen accepted.
• Dai Yutian promised that Dai Yichen's Second Brother and the Zhu Family's second daughter would be sent to train at the borders if they lost, and that Yichen would not be restricted from traveling for several years.
• Dai Yutian told Zhu Ming that he might abolish the rule if Dai Yichen grew strong enough to suppress the Hell White Tiger, though he worried his decision could be wrong.

Dai Yutian considered changing the Star Luo Empire’s succession contest after realizing its rules killed talented princes, and he gambled on Dai Yichen helping reshape the empire. At the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuyun learned her reward had raised her to Soul Power Level Thirty before she and Zhu Zhuqing read Dai Yichen’s diary describing their father’s pressure on him.

• Dai Yutian worried that Dai Weisi’s victory would doom Dai Yichen and reflected on how the succession rules weakened the Star Luo Empire by killing off rival princes.
• Dai Yutian decided to gamble on Dai Yichen’s Inheritance Soul Ring and his potential to change the empire’s future.
• Zhu Zhuyun woke Zhu Zhuqing and told her that her Soul Power reward had helped her reach level thirty.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Zhu Zhuyun that she had received a Soul Power increase and Dark Attribute Mastery for her Martial Soul.
• Dai Yichen’s diary appeared, revealing that Dai Yutian had summoned him and Zhu family father to discuss the succession rules and pressured him to speak up about changing them.

Dai Yichen secured a plan to spare Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun if he could defeat Dai Weisi at twelve, while the Diary Copy revealed that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year soul beast transformation watched by Tang Hao. Bibi Dong also investigated Tang San’s unusual Innate Full Soul Power and suspected he possessed a second Martial Soul.

• Dai Yichen’s nominal father agreed to secretly rescue Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun and send them to the border troops, with reforms contingent on Dai Yichen defeating Dai Weisi at twelve.
• Zhu Zhuyun warned Zhu Zhuqing to keep acting as usual until Dai Yichen’s challenge, and Zhu Zhuqing celebrated the chance that they would not have to kill each other.
• Dai Yichen wondered about Xiao Wu’s safety and wrote that Tang Hao would recognize her as a 100,000-year soul beast transformation when she enrolled at Notting Academy.
• Xiao Wu read the Diary Copy in a village on the Heaven Dou Empire’s border and feared Tang Hao had already been watching her, though she hoped she would not end up as Tang San’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Bibi Dong reviewed Spirit Hall records and questioned why Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had Innate Full Soul Power and why Su Yuntao had not invited him to Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong concluded that Tang San likely possessed a second, powerful Martial Soul.

Bibi Dong inferred that Tang San was likely Tang Hao’s son and that his Blue Silver Grass carried the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, while remaining unsure whether he had a second Martial Soul. After reading Dai Yichen’s diary, Xiao Wu decided to head for the Star Luo Empire, then grew furious at the diary’s discussion of her behavior and supposed descendants.

• Bibi Dong reasoned that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass might carry the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and that he might also possess the Clear Sky Hammer, but she chose to act as if she knew nothing until he revealed it.
• Xiao Wu read Dai Yichen’s warning that Titled Douluo were concentrated in Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, making the Star Luo Empire a safer destination for her.
• Xiao Wu turned around and set off for the Star Luo Empire, accepting that she might not obtain proof to become a Work-study Student.
• Dai Yichen criticized Xiao Wu’s conduct at Notting Academy but argued that claims she had produced countless rabbit descendants lacked evidence.
• Xiao Wu became enraged and denied being a rogue rabbit, while the other heroines with Diary Copies laughed at the idea that Soft Bone Rabbits could reproduce so quickly.

Dai Yichen’s diary made Xiao Wu question her slow cultivation and decide to train in the Star Luo Empire, while revealing that the Tang San in this world was a soul from another plane who had possessed the original Tang San. Bibi Dong and the others considered what the revelation meant, and Bibi Dong wondered whether Dai Yichen had also been replaced.

• Dai Yichen’s account of Xiao Wu’s level twenty-nine Soul Power made Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and the Zhu family sisters reflect on Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang, and her cultivation.
• Xiao Wu decided to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and cultivate in the Star Luo Empire, then wondered how Tang San’s Soul Power had risen so quickly.
• Dai Yichen revealed that the original Tang San had died six years earlier and that a Tang San from another plane had possessed his body.
• Dai Yichen recounted how the other Tang San secretly learned the Tang Sect’s supreme arts, created the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, and leaped from a cliff after the elders discovered his actions.
• Ning Rongrong and Bibi Dong frowned at Tang San’s theft of the sect’s secret arts, while Bibi Dong wondered whether Dai Yichen had also been replaced.

Ah Yin reconsidered Tang San’s behavior after learning that he might have been possessed by someone from another world, but she struggled to accept that he was no longer truly her son. Zhu Zhuqing defended Dai Yichen, and Zhu Zhuyun suggested that his case was different from Tang San’s.

• Ah Yin recalled receiving a diary reward that increased her cultivation and hoped to regain her human form so she could reunite with Tang Hao and Tang San.
• After hearing that Tang San had died six years earlier, Ah Yin reconsidered his secretive habits and recognized signs of the Tang Sect techniques and hidden weapons Dai Yichen had described.
• Ah Yin questioned whether Tang San had been possessed or reborn, but her feelings as his mother kept her from accepting that he might be someone else.
• Zhu Zhuyun asked Zhu Zhuqing whether Dai Yichen might also have become someone else, and Zhu Zhuqing insisted he had only recalled his past-life memories.
• Zhu Zhuyun said Dai Yichen’s personality had seemed consistent from the time she first met him, making his situation different from Tang San’s.

Zhu Zhuyun explained her theory about Dai Yichen and Tang San, while the women considered whether Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill could raise innate soul power. A warning revealed that Tang San was a Pseudo Child of Destiny brought from another world by the Asura God King, leaving Ah Yin shaken and Bibi Dong reconsidering whether to act.

• Zhu Zhuyun told Zhu Zhuqing that Tang San’s behavior suggested he had been occupied by a soul from another plane since infancy, while Dai Yichen had only awakened memories of a past life.
• Dai Yichen’s diary speculated that Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill had either converted his Soul Power into Inner Force or created the illusion of level-ten Innate Soul Power, disappointing the women who hoped it could raise innate power.
• Ning Rongrong wondered whether the Mysterious Heaven Skill could help Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather, but Tang San stated that cultivators had to abolish their existing cultivation and start over.
• Bibi Dong hesitated over whether to target Tang San and Tang Hao after learning about the cultivation method.
• A warning identified Tang San as a Pseudo Child of Destiny brought from another world by the Asura God King, causing Ah Yin to accept that her son’s body had been taken over and shocking the others with the revelation that Gods existed.
