• Su Wen made clear to the two Holy Sons that he wanted to speak with their gods, and the Cold Moon Holy Son warned that they only listened to divine decrees.
• The Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God sensed Su Wen’s dense, pure Faith Power and abandoned thoughts of taking it after recognizing the aura of a powerful god connected to him.
• The two gods reflected that a self-made god from Douluo Continent had appeared only a little over fifty years after the Sea God, and expected Su Wen to become at least as powerful as the Sea God.
• The Sea God arrived at the Sun Moon God Hall, where the Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God greeted him courteously.

• The Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God realized the Sea God believed Su Wen might eventually help them understand and advance their Divine Positions.
• The Sea God admitted that his argument was only a promise of future benefits, not a practical offer.

Sea God explained how the World of Learning had increased his and other gods’ Faith Power, then suggested that the Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God could benefit by returning to the roots of their Martial Souls. He left them considering his claim that the sun and moon were yin-yang totems, not simply celestial bodies.

• Sea God told the Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God that the World of Learning had helped the God of War and other gods greatly increase their Faith Power.
• Sea God explained that the World of Learning connected Sea Soul Masters across the sea, spreading news of aid and strengthening their faith in him.
• The Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God doubted they could gain Faith Power through the World of Learning because they already had the Sun Moon Continent as their faith zone.
• Sea God pointed out that the two gods’ pursuit of their Divine Positions had drifted from their original roots.
• Sea God explained that their sun and moon Martial Souls represented human ideas of yin and yang as complementary totems rather than specific celestial bodies.

Sea God explained that Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God’s martial souls embodied the concepts of yin-yang, sun, and moon, and that developing their artistic conception could help them reach First Level God status. The two gods agreed to support Su Wen, but were left wondering what benefits they could offer him.

• Sea God told Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God that the yin-yang path suited their martial souls better than focusing on fire and ice.

Su Wen received approval from the Sun Moon God Hall to cooperate with the Academy and accepted tests from the Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God. He learned that the Royal Family had no living god supporting it, but the Crown Prince might be trying to create a godhood through the inherited Purple Radiance Destroying Heaven Dragon.

• Su Wen received the Sea God's message after the Sun Moon God Hall's elders and elites had begun exploring the Visualization Method.
• The Blazing Sun Hall Master and Cold Moon Hall Master told Su Wen that the Sun Moon God Hall would cooperate with the Academy and allow it to operate in their territory, while he would need to persuade the Royal Family himself.
• Su Wen accepted Black Rank One Trials from the Blazing Sun God and Cold Moon God, who promised him Sun Moon Essence when he condensed his Seventh Soul Ring.
• Su Wen asked whether the Royal Family had a Godhood Inheritance, and the Blazing Sun Hall Master said no living god supported it but the Crown Prince might be creating his own godhood.
• The Blazing Sun Hall Master explained that the Royal Family's Purple Radiance Destroying Heaven Dragon was a sub-dragon descended from the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons.

Su Wen learned that Xu Tianyou may have found the core inheritance of the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons, and considered using the royal family's interest in the Academy to negotiate access to it. After arranging the Academy's Sun Moon Continent headquarters, Su Wen returned to Mingdu, where a royal envoy sought terms for cooperation.

• The Blazing Sun Hall Master and Cold Moon Hall Master told Su Wen that Xu Tianyou may have uncovered the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons' core inheritance and planned to use its power to absorb the continent's Faith.
• Su Wen suspected Xu Tianyou had not obtained the true inheritance because the ring he held was likely a key, and he became interested in the Ancestor's mastery of destruction.
• The Cold Moon Hall Master suggested Su Wen make the inheritance a condition of negotiations with the royal family, and Su Wen arranged to establish the Academy's Sun Moon Continent headquarters in the northern valley.
• Su Wen left Holy Mountain and met a royal elder waiting at its foot, who asked what the royal family needed to do to cooperate with the Academy.
• The royal elder feared Su Wen would demand the royal family's soul guidance device research materials, but Su Wen did not ask for them.

Su Wen negotiated with the Royal Family to enter the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons' inheritance grounds alongside Crown Prince Xu Tianyou, offering a ring that carried the Dragon Ancestor's aura. They set out for the inheritance space, with Su Wen intending to comprehend its power rather than compete for the core inheritance.

• Su Wen asked the Royal Family to let him inspect the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons' inheritance, alarming the old man who called it the Royal Family's foundation.
• Su Wen revealed a ring bearing the Dragon Ancestor's aura and offered to let Xu Tianyou enter the inheritance grounds with him, promising not to take bloodline power or dragon bones.
• The old man agreed to cooperate on the condition that Su Wen would not compete with Xu Tianyou for the core inheritance, and Su Wen accepted.
• The old man brought Crown Prince Xu Tianyou to Su Wen, and the three left Mingdu for the inheritance space.
• Xu Tianyou questioned how Su Wen knew the way, and Su Wen said he was following the ring's guidance before warning Xu Tianyou that the inheritance might not suit him.

Su Wen and Xu Tianyou entered the Purple Radiance Destroying Heaven Dragon inheritance space, where Su Wen judged that the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons had possessed God King-level power. Su Wen contacted the ancestor’s crystal and contained its World-Destroying force with his Visualization World.

• Su Wen advised Xu Tianyou that his strength came from developing his Martial Soul rather than relying on its innate power, while Xu Tianyou said the inheritance could strengthen his bloodline.
• Xu Tianyou released his Purple Radiance Destroying Heaven Dragon Martial Soul in a valley east of Mingdu, opening a vortex that he and Su Wen entered.
• Su Wen sensed destructive lightning fused into the Dragon Might and concluded that the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons had likely reached God King Level.
• The Sea God envied Su Wen’s many sources of support and complained that Su Wen had compared the ancestor’s power favorably against Sea God Divine Power.
• Su Wen found the ancestor’s dragon-bone skeleton and touched its purple-black crystal with his Spiritual Power, unleashing a World-Destroying conception.
• Su Wen used his Visualization World to suppress and contain the destructive force within his Sea of Consciousness.

Su Wen studied the Destruction Attribute and considered how he might eventually comprehend Creation Power through the Heavenly Jewel Change Plane. As he continued visualizing Destruction Lightning, Xu Tianyou began to reconsider how Su Wen’s many cultivated paths might serve a single greater purpose.

• Su Wen realized that the Ancestor of the Sub-Dragons had combined ruin and thunder to create the Destruction Attribute, and he began visualizing its artistic conception.
• Su Wen considered using the Evil God Pearl to reach the Heavenly Jewel Change Plane and planned to seek out the Vast Continent after advancing to Titled Douluo or beyond.
• Su Wen reflected on how his Visualization World preserved his accumulated experience and insight even through the Life and Death Arena’s effects.
• Xu Tianyou decided that Dragon Might and the Emperor’s Way suited him better than thunder and destruction.
• Xu Tianyou saw the many paths displayed in Su Wen’s Heavenly Book and wondered whether they all laid the groundwork for Su Wen’s own path.

Su Wen completed the Fourth Trial of the God-level Nine Tests, returned to Sea God Island, and studied Ning Rongrong’s God-bestowed Soul Ring as she absorbed it. He concluded that the rings converted Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, and planned to investigate how Soul Masters could condense Soul Rings themselves.

• Xu Tianyou realized that the Emperor’s Way could incorporate thunder and destruction, then absorbed power from the Dragon Crystal to strengthen his bloodline.
• After three months of establishing Academies across the Sun Moon Continent, Su Wen completed the World of Learning and received the Faith Power circulation technique as his Fourth Trial reward.
• Su Wen traveled to Sea God Island, reunited with Ning Rongrong, and received a God-bestowed Soul Ring from Sea Dragon Douluo to keep for research or use as a fallback.
• Ning Rongrong spent half a month absorbing her God-bestowed Soul Ring, while Su Wen observed how its age increased through the absorption of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
• Su Wen inferred that Soul Rings might be replaced by a core formed through a Soul Master’s own cultivation, and considered studying a Transformed Soul Beast and using Void Douluo’s token to seek help.

Su Wen traveled with Void Douluo to the Space God's inheritance ground, where he discovered that the realm held abundant Time Power as well as Spatial Power. There, he received a Red Rank Seven Trial from the God of Time and wondered how he could reach the Heavenly Jewel Change Plane.

• Su Wen decided to pursue the Space God's inheritance after weighing the delays involved in studying Xiao Wu and cultivating the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Void Douluo arrived at Sea God Island, and Su Wen left with him for the inheritance space in the Gale Wind Layer.
• Su Wen sensed that the inheritance space contained unusually active Time Power alongside Spatial Power and suspected the God of Time had helped create it.
• Su Wen approached the inheritance space's core and received a Red Rank Seven Trial from the God of Time: find a Heavenly Jewel Master, teach him the Undying Divine Art, and earn a chance to recultivate the Heavenly Jewel Thirteen Changes.
• Su Wen considered finding Zhou Weiqing for the trial and wondered whether the God of Time would transport him to the Heavenly Jewel Change Plane.

Su Wen arrived on the Vast Continent, where Time Power and Spatial Power shielded him from a thunder tribulation and left him unable to use Soul Power. After locating himself outside Heavenly Bow City, he went to the Marshal’s Mansion and sought Zhou Shuiniu, claiming he could cure the young master’s blocked meridians.

• Su Wen sensed the Time Power and Spatial Power around him during teleportation, but the journey ended before he could study them.
• Su Wen appeared on the Vast Continent as thunderclouds gathered, and the protective powers dispersed the clouds without a strike.
• Su Wen found that he could not use Soul Power, but he could still mobilize Spiritual Power and control Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
• Su Wen confirmed he was outside Heavenly Bow City in the Heavenly Bow Empire and wondered how to complete God of Time’s First Test.
• Su Wen told a guard at the Marshal’s Mansion that he could help the young master cultivate Heavenly Force, prompting the guard to report him.
• Zhou Shuiniu came to meet Su Wen and sensed a powerful, deadly threat from him.

Su Wen met Zhou Shuiniu and examined ten-year-old Zhou Weiqing, whose meridians had been blocked since birth and whose family had given up hope of him cultivating. Seeing Zhou Weiqing train, Su Wen realized the God of Time may have sent him to the Vast Continent to study Imprinting, and he prepared to treat the boy.

• Zhou Shuiniu respectfully welcomed Su Wen after hearing he could treat Zhou Weiqing's congenital blocked meridians, though he doubted the condition could be cured.
• Su Wen learned Zhou Weiqing was ten and had been unable to cultivate for two years, while Zhou Shuiniu and his wife had redirected their efforts toward the boy's other abilities.
• Su Wen watched Zhou Weiqing hold a horse stance and praised his solid fundamentals.
• Su Wen considered the Vast Continent's Jewel Master system and realized Imprinting could let cultivators obtain Heavenly Beast skills in a way similar to acquiring Soul Skills from Soul Rings.
• Su Wen concluded that the God of Time may have sent him to learn about Imprinting, while Zhou Shuiniu described Zhou Weiqing as steady and honest.

Su Wen examined Zhou Weiqing and found that his meridians were completely solid, leaving a dangerous process of breaking down and rebuilding them as the only possible cure. He offered Zhou Weiqing the Undying Divine Art as a foundation for that gamble, but its deadly risks alarmed both Zhou Weiqing and Zhou Shuiniu.

• Su Wen examined Zhou Weiqing and discovered that his meridians were thoroughly blocked and solid.
• Su Wen told Zhou Shuiniu that rebuilding Zhou Weiqing's meridians might save him, though he could only guarantee that Zhou Weiqing would survive and live as an ordinary person if it failed.
• Su Wen offered Zhou Weiqing the Undying Divine Art and said it could provide a foundation for rebuilding his body.
• Zhou Weiqing recognized the manual as the copy he had hidden in Starry Forest and feared that Su Wen was a fraud.
• Zhou Shuiniu read the manual's warning that cultivating its Thirty-Six Major Death Acupoints could mean certain death and grew suspicious of Su Wen's plan.

Su Wen explained that the Undying Divine Art could help Zhou Weiqing overcome his damaged meridians, but only through a dangerous process involving the Evil God Pearl and the assault on Death Acupoints. Zhou Shuiniu remained uncertain as Su Wen revealed that he could use a heavenly treasure to break and reshape Weiqing’s meridians.

• Su Wen asked Zhou Shuiniu to read the later sections of the Undying Divine Art, and Zhou Shuiniu recognized that its Death Acupoint methods could remold a cultivator’s foundation.
• Zhou Shuiniu asked whether Su Wen planned to use the art to treat Zhou Weiqing’s meridians, and Su Wen explained how its Death Acupoint-based cultivation could protect and strengthen them.
• Su Wen said the Evil God Pearl was the key to changing Zhou Weiqing’s foundation, while the Undying Divine Art would complement that treatment if Weiqing could survive assaulting the Death Acupoints.
• Zhou Shuiniu hesitated over the dangerous treatment, and Su Wen explained that Weiqing’s ruined meridians made a complete foundation change possible.
• Su Wen revealed that he would use a heavenly treasure to keep Zhou Weiqing alive while breaking and reshaping his meridians.

Su Wen offered Zhou Weiqing the Evil God Pearl and the Undying Divine Art as a way to overcome his damaged meridians and begin cultivating Heavenly Force. After considering the risks, Zhou Weiqing decided to gamble on the treatment.

• Su Wen showed Zhou Shuiniu the Evil God Pearl, whose power led him to estimate that its source had been a Heavenly King- or Heavenly Emperor-level Heavenly Beast.
• Su Wen explained that Zhou Weiqing’s Darkness Attribute and mutated constitution were compatible with the Evil God Pearl.
• Zhou Shuiniu worried that using the pearl to reshape Zhou Weiqing’s foundation could cripple or kill him.
• Zhou Weiqing told his father he wanted to try, believing Su Wen’s discovery of the Undying Divine Art was more than coincidence.
• Zhou Weiqing resolved to cultivate the Undying Divine Art with the Evil God Pearl’s help, accepting the danger as a chance to become a Heavenly Jewel Master.

Zhou Weiqing insisted on risking the Evil God Pearl and Undying Divine Art to rebuild his meridians, and Su Wen promised he could protect the boy’s life. Tang Xian arrived after sensing the Evil aura, learned what they planned, and Su Wen prepared to demonstrate his ability.

• Zhou Weiqing told Zhou Shuiniu he could not bear to spend his life unable to cultivate Heavenly Force, while Su Wen promised he could preserve the boy’s life and heal his meridians if the attempt failed.
• Ling Zihan arrived and struggled to support Zhou Weiqing despite fearing the consequences.
• Tang Xian sensed powerful, evil energy and flew toward Heavenly Bow City, suspecting a Heavenly Beast was causing trouble.
• Tang Xian reached the Marshal’s Mansion, recognized Ling Zihan, and learned about Zhou Weiqing’s blocked meridians, the Evil God Pearl, and the proposed treatment.
• Tang Xian sensed that Su Wen might be a Heavenly King or even a Heavenly Emperor and asked whether he could protect Zhou Weiqing’s meridians; Su Wen agreed to show her a little.

Su Wen proved his mastery of meridians and persuaded Zhou Shuiniu to let him treat Zhou Weiqing. They went to the Starry Forest to rebuild Weiqing’s meridians near the Heavenly Star Snail, whose reaction left the treatment’s outcome uncertain.

• Su Wen showed Tang Xian and Zhou Shuiniu a detailed meridian diagram that matched Zhou Weiqing’s body, convincing them of his expertise.
• Zhou Weiqing urged his parents to accept Su Wen’s help, and Zhou Shuiniu agreed despite Ling Zihan’s fear.
• Su Wen asked Zhou Shuiniu to find a quiet place for the treatment, and Zhou Shuiniu led the group to a valley in the Starry Forest.
• Zhou Shuiniu introduced the Heavenly Star Snail, who had once treated and supported him, and asked to perform Weiqing’s meridian reconstruction in her life-rich valley.
• The Heavenly Star Snail looked at Su Wen and remarked on the great ability he claimed to possess.

Su Wen began using the Evil God Pearl to awaken Zhou Weiqing’s Heavenly Jewels and open his blocked meridians, with the Heavenly Star Snail supplying life force. Zhou Weiqing endured the pearl’s violent energy as its fusion with him progressed.

• Su Wen recognized that the Heavenly Star Snail was evolving Light and Darkness Attributes and promised to help advance her transformation if she assisted Zhou Weiqing.
• Su Wen explained that the Evil God Pearl would merge with Zhou Weiqing, open his meridians, and awaken his Heavenly Jewels, while the Heavenly Star Snail provided life force.
• Zhou Weiqing dripped blood onto the Evil God Pearl, which accepted him and merged into the spot between his brows.
• The Evil God Pearl’s power ravaged Zhou Weiqing’s meridians as the Heavenly Star Snail infused him with life force.
• As the pearl’s fusion advanced, a pearl appeared on each of Zhou Weiqing’s hands.

After Zhou Weiqing fused with the Evil God Pearl, Tang Xian realized his Mind Pearl had Alexandrite Cat's Eye and might inherit six attributes. She reconsidered whether he needed to risk cultivating the Undying Divine Art, while Su Wen remained confident Zhou Weiqing would choose that path.

• The Evil God Pearl merged into Zhou Weiqing's meridians as Su Wen monitored him, and the brief appearance of Zhou Weiqing's Heavenly Jewels shocked Su Wen, Zhou Shuiniu, and Tang Xian.
• Tang Xian recognized Zhou Weiqing's Mind Pearl as Alexandrite Cat's Eye and deduced that he might possess six attributes, including the Time and Evil Attributes.
• Tang Xian imagined Zhou Weiqing surpassing Shangguan Tianyue and considered Long Shiya a suitable mentor who could teach him the Six Control Absolute Technique.
• Tang Xian worried that Zhou Weiqing no longer needed to risk cultivating the Undying Divine Art, but she hesitated to withdraw their promise to Su Wen.
• Su Wen saw Tang Xian's doubts and believed Zhou Weiqing would pursue the best cultivation method rather than rely on resources to compensate for his incomplete meridians.
