After taking a week to recover at Shrek Academy, Shiyu left and absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s nearly eighty-thousand-year Soul Spirit, gaining its Life and Death Arena skill. He traveled through time to a peaceful world eighty thousand years in the past and began assessing what opportunities it might hold.

• Shiyu emerged in a verdant, peaceful world eighty thousand years in the past and wondered whether Spirit Masters or useful opportunities existed in this era.

Shiyu learned that Douluo Continent was in a primitive Tribal Era where gods might still exist, then traveled to the Extreme North to seek the Snow Empress. He overpowered her and planned to take her to the Ice God Inheritance Temple.

• Shiyu questioned a villager and learned that the continent had Ten Great Tribes, no nations or sects, and Tribal Kings rumored to possess godlike power.
• Shiyu considered the danger of encountering real gods, since his God-level physique and Spiritual Power had not given him divine power.
• Shiyu traveled to the Extreme North and found the Snow Empress at her Ice and Snow Tree residence.
• The Snow Empress attacked Shiyu with the Imperial Sword, but he shattered the attack and restrained her with spatial power.
• Shiyu inspected the Snow Empress and found that she had over 520,000 years of cultivation, then told her he had come to offer a fortuitous opportunity.
• The Snow Empress doubted Shiyu and accused him of wanting her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, while Shiyu prepared to take her to the Ice God Inheritance Temple.

Shiyu brought Snow Empress to the Ice God Inheritance Temple and offered to help her obtain the inheritance in exchange for ten future favors. As they traveled to find a treasure that could help her take human form, Snow Empress explained that the God Realm was hunting Soul Beast Deities.

• Shiyu led Snow Empress into the Ice God Inheritance Temple and offered to help her inherit the Ice God’s power in return for ten favors.
• Snow Empress agreed to the deal after Shiyu required her to make a Heart Demon Vow, and he explained that she first had to take human form.
• Shiyu took Snow Empress out of the Extreme North to seek a powerful ice-attribute treasure that could help her transform.
• Snow Empress told Shiyu that the God Realm sent Human Deities to hunt Soul Beast Deities, with reinforcements descending when needed.
• Shiyu reasoned that the hunts helped replenish the God Realm’s depleted ranks and that divine positions would become harder for mortals to obtain once that replenishment ended.

Shiyu learned from Snow Empress about the Ice Flood Dragon, a powerful Soul Beast Deity slain by a flame-wielding Deity, and considered how multiple Gods of the same element could coexist. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, he found an Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass that could help Snow Empress assume human form.

• Shiyu asked Snow Empress about Soul Beast Deities in the Extreme North, and she described the Ice Flood Dragon's strength and death at the hands of a powerful flame Deity.
• Shiyu speculated that the Ice Flood Dragon had been a First-level God and considered whether Gods of the same element faced a hierarchy of power.
• Shiyu resolved to pursue becoming the first God of Time and Space rather than another Sea God or Asura God.
• Snow Empress asked whether Sunset Forest contained a treasure that could help her assume human form, and Shiyu searched the forest with his Spiritual Power.
• Shiyu found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and pointed out the near-Hundred-Thousand-Year Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to Snow Empress.

Shiyu helped Snow Empress transform from a Spirit Beast into a human by cultivating the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and guiding her through the process in the Cold Spring. Afterward, he took her to the Extreme North so she could seek the Ice God's inheritance.

• Shiyu used his Ice-type Soul Core to raise the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level, then gave it to Snow Empress to eat.
• Shiyu and Snow Empress submerged in the Cold Spring, where he used his Soul Power and the Power of Time to reduce her cultivation to zero and complete her transformation into a human.
• Snow Empress thanked Shiyu for helping her transform, then reacted with irritation when he looked at her exposed body.
• Shiyu gave Snow Empress clothes and stopped her from using one of the ten favors she owed him.
• Snow Empress asked to return to the Extreme North to seek the Ice God's inheritance, and Shiyu transported them there with his spatial ability.
• Snow Empress was overwhelmed by the cold of the Extreme North, so Shiyu used his Soul Power to protect her.

Snow Empress received the Ice God’s Nine Trials, while Shiyu hoped her future godhood would strengthen his position against Tang San. Elsewhere, the Evil God learned of the new inheritor and decided to arrange protection, anticipating that the Spirit Beast Deities might target her.

• Shiyu brought Snow Empress to the Ice God Statue and urged her to show devotion.
• Snow Empress received the Ice God’s inheritance and the Ice God Mark, beginning the Nine Trials as the temple shook.

• The Evil God decided to notify Deities to protect Snow Empress, and other Deities also sensed that an inheritor had appeared.

The Space Dragon King ordered the Dark Sacred Dragon to eliminate the Ice God’s inheritor in the Extreme North, while the Time Dragon King arrived with a more important discovery.

• The Space Dragon King questioned the discovery, noting that the Dragon God had fallen hundreds of thousands of years earlier.

The Time Dragon King left the Soul Beasts’ concealed Small World to investigate a Dragon God aura that might offer their kind a chance to rise again. In the Extreme North, Shiyu advised the Snow Empress to search for Ten-Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow after she received the Ice God’s Nine Trials.

• The Time Dragon King told the Space Dragon King that he would search for the Dragon God aura himself, despite the danger of attracting the Human Deities.

• Shiyu advised the Snow Empress to search ice fissures for Ten-Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, and she promised to look more carefully.

After leaving Snow Empress, Shiyu searched the ancient continent for opportunities and narrowly avoided detection by a powerful Human Deity. A sudden attack stopped him with Time Power, and a colossal dragon seized him and carried him to an unknown space.

• Snow Empress asked Shiyu whether he was a God, and he explained that he had God-level combat strength without having become one before departing.

• A powerful Time Power immobilized Shiyu, and an enormous dragon seized him and carried him to an unknown space.

• The Time Dragon King sensed the Dragon God’s aura on Shiyu and asked what relic he possessed.
• Shiyu admitted that he had obtained and refined the Dragon God Heart, claiming the Dragon God’s lingering soul had entrusted him with helping revitalize the spirit beast race.
• The Time Dragon King questioned how a human Soul Douluo could fulfill that duty, and Shiyu emphasized his youth, talent, and potential to become a god.
• The Time Dragon King threatened to eliminate Shiyu because he was human, so Shiyu vowed to favor the spirit beasts while arguing that humans need not be annihilated if the spirit beasts gained the advantage.
• The Time Dragon King accepted Shiyu’s reasoning as interesting and remained satisfied with his answer.

Shiyu revealed his pure Time Martial Soul to the Time Dragon King, who decided to take him as a disciple and bind him more closely to the Spirit Beast race. Shiyu accepted the offer and received a time-infused Dragon Scale as his meeting gift.

• Shiyu frowned at the familiar name and wondered whether the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had existed far earlier than the Tang San Era.

Shiyu fled through the Cosmic Starry Sky toward a planet, while the surviving Gods ordered a search for him.

• The Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King chose not to detonate their Super Divine Artifacts, then self-destructed as the Small World collapsed and killed many of the attacking Deities.
• Shiyu spotted four streaks of light, received the two Dragon Kings’ Soul Bones and the Clock of Ages and Nine Heavens Diagram of the Universe, and hurried toward a planet.
