After Bibi Dong became younger, Ye Zhiqiu tried to cheer her up and learned she had planned to take him to the Rakshasa God Inheritance Ground. She changed course after discovering he already possessed a god ring, and decided to seek access to the Angel God Inheritance Ground instead.

• Bibi Dong accused Ye Zhiqiu of disrespecting her, and Hu Liena laughed at his bruised face before he suggested making Bibi Dong a wooden bed.
• Ye Zhiqiu revived the winter garden with his Life Energy and made a shower of flower petals, but Bibi Dong dismissed his romantic gestures.

• Bibi Dong abandoned her plan to take Ye Zhiqiu to the Rakshasa God Inheritance Ground and said she would ask the Great Elder about sending him to the Angel God Inheritance Ground, while ordering him to keep his soul rings secret.

Ye Zhiqiu prepared to seek an Angel God divine trial, while Bibi Dong’s memories of a long-lost man stirred painful feelings. After Ye Zhiqiu returned to Spirit Hall with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu refused Bibi Dong’s request to let Ye Zhiqiu join the trial.

• Bibi Dong resolved to ask Qian Daoliu for a divine-trial opportunity for Ye Zhiqiu, and Ye Zhiqiu noticed that she had been crying over someone from her past.

• Ye Zhiqiu told Qian Renxue that he and she might take the Angel God’s divine trial together, so she returned with him to support the request.
• Qian Daoliu refused Bibi Dong’s request, insisting that the Angel God’s trial was critical to Qian Renxue.

Ye Zhiqiu arrived with Qian Renxue as Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu argued about keeping him from divine inheritances. He explained that he only wanted the trials’ rewards and claimed that earning godhood through his own strength would let him surpass those who inherited it, leaving Qian Daoliu uncertain whether to let him take part in the Angel God trial.

• Qian Daoliu accused Bibi Dong of selfishly keeping Ye Zhiqiu from the Rakshasa God trial, while she said she had her reasons and would take him there later.
• Ye Zhiqiu and Qian Renxue appeared in the inheritance chamber, surprising Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, who noticed them holding hands.
• Ye Zhiqiu insisted he had no interest in godhood and said he wanted the rewards from divine trials, including stronger spirit rings and increased Soul Power.
• Bibi Dong scolded Ye Zhiqiu for lacking ambition, and he argued that personally becoming a god would leave him room to grow beyond the limits of inherited godhood.
• Bibi Dong asked where Ye Zhiqiu had learned this, and he claimed he had read it in an ancient book; Qian Daoliu then wondered whether to let him join the Angel God trial.

Ye Zhiqiu underwent an assessment for the Angel God’s trial grounds after Qian Renxue persuaded Qian Daoliu to let him join her. The Angel God’s statue assigned him Ten Trials, but their platinum streams of light could not enter his Sea of Consciousness and instead headed for his Dantian Qi Sea.

• Qian Renxue persuaded Qian Daoliu to let Ye Zhiqiu take the trial alongside her, and he agreed.
• Bibi Dong warned Ye Zhiqiu to behave reverently in the trial grounds before leaving the secret chamber.
• Qian Daoliu opened the Angel God’s assessment, and the statue’s light rapidly changed color around Ye Zhiqiu before turning platinum.
• Ten platinum light screens appeared around Ye Zhiqiu, and Qian Daoliu identified the assessment as Ten Trials.
• The ten trial streams tried to enter Ye Zhiqiu’s Sea of Consciousness but met his Divine Sense Barrier, then turned toward his Dantian Qi Sea.

Ye Zhiqiu absorbed nine of the Angel God's assessment lights with his Tailed Beast Origins, leaving him with only a single trial. The Angel God watched in frustration as the final light marked Ye Zhiqiu, while Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu reacted to his drastically reduced assessment.

• Ye Zhiqiu let the ten assessment lights enter his Dantian, where his nine Tailed Beast Origins swallowed nine of them and began refining their divine power.
• The Angel God discovered that nine assessment lights had vanished and watched Ye Zhiqiu through the divine imprint's light screen.
• The remaining platinum light settled on Ye Zhiqiu's hand as an Angel Imprint, while the nine Tailed Beast Origins grew more solid from refining the power they had consumed.
• Qian Daoliu saw that Ye Zhiqiu had received a white-rank, one-trial assessment instead of ten trials and was stunned.
• Qian Renxue reassured Ye Zhiqiu that the Angel God's judgment was poor, and Ye Zhiqiu asked Qian Daoliu what he should do next.

Ye Zhiqiu and Qian Renxue entered the Angel Godhood Inheritance Ground and discovered it was an illusion. The Angel God challenged Ye Zhiqiu to break it, but Ye Zhiqiu accused him of adding an unofficial trial and left the challenge unresolved.

• The Angel God spoke to Ye Zhiqiu and asked how he had seen through the illusion.
• Ye Zhiqiu said he could break the illusion but accused the Angel God of trying to impose an extra trial without activating his mark.

Ye Zhiqiu used a small Chibaku Tensei to expose the Angel God's light-refraction illusion and pressured him into ending the trial. The illusion vanished, revealing the Angel God's inheritance ground as a vast floating island surrounded by a barrier of white chaos.

• Ye Zhiqiu demanded a hundred-thousand-year soul-ring age increase as a reward for passing the extra illusion trial, but the Angel God refused.
• Ye Zhiqiu explained to Qian Renxue that the illusion relied on refracted light and decided to break it with force.
• Ye Zhiqiu summoned a tiny Chibaku Tensei, which created a crack in the illusion and frightened the Angel God, who mistook it for a black hole.

Ye Zhiqiu and Qian Renxue began their Angel God trials, with Ye Zhiqiu assigned a harder climb than Qian Renxue. Ye Zhiqiu entered the first step’s inner world and encountered a shadow claiming to be him.

• The Angel God’s trial screens revealed that Qian Renxue had to climb to the sixty-sixth step, while Ye Zhiqiu had to reach the ninety-sixth and enter the temple.
• Ye Zhiqiu carried Qian Renxue toward the temple and warned her not to lose herself in the Questioning the Heart illusion.
• At the foot of the stairs, Ye Zhiqiu told Qian Renxue to wait while he tested the first step.

• A dark figure appeared before Ye Zhiqiu and told him that they were one and the same.

Angel God learned of Ye Zhiqiu’s black-hole ability and descended to investigate while Ye Zhiqiu rapidly completed the Heart-Questioning Trials. Ye Zhiqiu reached Angel God Temple but hesitated over leaving Qian Renxue behind, then entered after Angel God spoke to him.

• Asura God ordered Angel God to investigate Ye Zhiqiu in person and kill him if he posed a threat, warning him to remain within his Godhood Inheritance Ground.

• Angel God arrived at the temple and watched Ye Zhiqiu finish the trials, stunned by his speed.
• Ye Zhiqiu hesitated at the temple doors because Qian Renxue was still undergoing her trial, then heard Angel God call to him and entered the temple.

Ye Zhiqiu passed the Angel God’s trial, gained a Soul Power level, and asked him to reduce Xue’er’s trial difficulty. The Angel God explained why the trials could not simply be made easier and confirmed that Xue’er would face danger.

• Ye Zhiqiu asked whether Xue’er would be in danger if the trials remained unchanged, and the Angel God said she definitely would.

Ye Zhiqiu and the Angel God reached an understanding about the God Realm and Qian Renxue’s trials. Before leaving, the Angel God gave Ye Zhiqiu a statue that let him open a spatial gate to visit him, and Ye Zhiqiu reflected on the gains from his trip.

• The Angel God offered to secretly help Qian Renxue pass her trials and asked Ye Zhiqiu why he did not revere the God Realm.

Ye Zhiqiu left her a signal bead and asked her to watch over his planned continent-wide federation, then sought comfort with Hu Liena before returning to Shrek Academy.

He interrupted Gu Yuena’s class and summoned the group to the third-floor viewing platform.

• Gu Yuena asked Ye Zhiqiu why he had returned so quickly, and he said he had completed the Angel God’s trial.

• Gu Yuena asked whether Ye Zhiqiu planned to help Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing obtain the Sea God’s divine position, and both women looked to him for an answer.

Ye Zhiqiu brought his companions to Sea God Island and met Bo Saixi, the island’s powerful guardian. He greeted her politely and tried to explain that they meant no harm, leaving their welcome on the island uncertain.

• Ye Zhiqiu told Gu Yuena he had already chosen godhood inheritances for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, including the Ice and Snow Dual Gods.

• Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward, greeted Bo Saixi, and said the group had come without ill intent.
