Nine-tailed Blade Fox killed Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refused to surrender, then Lu Leng ordered the sect’s remaining disciples exterminated. Back at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong praised Lu Leng and Hu Liena for their success and raised the idea of their wedding, which Lu Leng wanted to postpone until Lingling returned.

Lu Leng took Hu Liena to meet the Silver Dragon King, who explained that Hu Liena’s Nine-tailed Demonic Fox martial soul could lead her to the Qingqiu Fox God divine position but would prevent her from ascending under the God Realm’s current rules. The Silver Dragon King urged Lu Leng to overthrow the God Realm so Hu Liena and the soul beasts could become gods, and predicted the decisive battle would begin after Lu Leng became a god within ten years.

• The Silver Dragon King offered to teach Lu Leng the original cultivation method that required no soul rings, while Hu Liena stared in shock.

Lu Leng mastered a cultivation method that refined away his soul rings while preserving his existing soul skills, then returned to Spirit Hall to help Bibi Dong suppress opposition. Qian Renxue began reconsidering her Angel God's trial, while Lu Leng set out to pursue Spirit Hall’s enemies and found that Xue Beng and Shrek Academy had disappeared.

• Lu Leng deployed a hundred Type 60 Mortars and ten howitzers, with Defense Clan disciples operating the mortars and Speed Clan members manning the howitzers.
• Niu Ben signaled the first mortar salvo, which damaged the Clear Sky Sect’s surroundings and gates and killed two disciples while injuring others.
• Yu Xiaogang inspected the blast sites and advised Tang Xiao that rocky cover could shield disciples from the shell fragments, so Tang Xiao ordered most defenders to retreat inside or take cover.
• After seeing the limited damage and casualties, Lu Leng ordered uninterrupted bombardment and told Niu Ben to fire all the ammunition while the Speed Clan loaded the howitzers.
• Lu Leng aimed the ten howitzers at the Clear Sky Sect’s core, and the five elders charged forward with their Clear Sky Hammers to strike the incoming shells.

• Lu Leng told Hai Mei’er and the others that he would infiltrate the Clear Sky Sect to find its hidden defenders, then direct the Speed Clan to bombard their position.

Lu Leng infiltrated the Clear Sky Sect, learned its disciples were sheltering beneath the central hall, and arranged a surprise attack while his forces bombarded the hideout.

• Lu Leng held the Speed Clan back and ordered another round of howitzer fire against the central hall.

After Lu Leng killed Yu Xiaogang and the Clear Sky Sect remnants, Bibi Dong confronted him over disobeying her orders and placed him under house arrest in Spirit Hall.

• The next morning, Su Huo'er stopped Lu Leng from attending the regular meeting and told him he would not be allowed to attend future meetings either.

Lu Leng tried to contact the Silver Dragon King so he could escape his confinement, and persuaded Chrysanthemum Douluo to carry a letter to the Titan Giant Ape. A week later, Chrysanthemum Douluo revealed that Qian Renxue was in seclusion and Qian Daoliu had taken the letter, leaving Lu Leng unsure whether his message would reach its intended recipient.

• Lu Leng grew bored in the Holy Son's Palace and planned to get word to the Silver Dragon King, while Bibi Dong learned he had reached rank eighty-eight and ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo to bring him more resources.
• Lu Leng broke through to rank eighty-nine, then asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to deliver a letter to the Titan Giant Ape in Star Dou Forest.

• After a week without news, Lu Leng summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo, who said he had delivered the letter to Qian Daoliu because Qian Renxue was in seclusion.

After Bibi Dong seized control of the Blacksmith Association and placed Lu Leng under house arrest, the Silver Dragon King and her companions broke into Spirit Hall to rescue him. Bibi Dong confronted them at the Holy Son's Palace, where the Silver Dragon King identified herself as Lu Leng's wife and challenged Bibi Dong over her treatment of him.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo told Lu Leng that Bibi Dong had taken control of the Blacksmith Association and imprisoned Lou Gao, while the three affiliated sects had gone into hiding.

Lu Leng and Gu Yuena planned how to secure enough faith for Lu Leng to become a god within four years, weighing control of Spirit Hall against the devastation of a Beast Tide. They settled on preparing soul beasts and weapons while Lu Leng found a way to seize Spirit Hall, and the chapter ended with Bibi Dong alone, missing him.

• Gu Yuena explained that Lu Leng needed humanity's faith and that unifying the continent and achieving something monumental would let him prove his godhood quickly.
• Lu Leng set a four-year deadline and rejected a Beast Tide as a way to gain control, fearing the harm it would inflict on ordinary people.

• Gu Yuena outlined plans to unite powerful soul beasts, develop the Blacksmith Association's weapons, and take Spirit Hall; Lu Leng agreed.
