The Three-Eyed Golden Lion left the Star Dou Great Forest for Heaven Dou City, while Lin Xiao learned that Ye Qingxian had broken through to Titled Douluo. As they prepared to find her a powerful Ninth Soul Ring, Lin Xiao decided to seek help from Xiao Bai about hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion used her Destiny Power to conceal her identity and set out for Heaven Dou City to find Lin Xiao.
• Ye Qingxian told Lin Xiao she had become a Titled Douluo after eight years and suggested they leave together soon.

• The Snow Empress suggested searching the ocean, and Lin Xiao decided to contact Xiao Bai about suitable hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts.

Lin Xiao took Ye Qingxian out to sea to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast so she could gain the power needed to pursue godhood. After they killed the Crimson Giant Algae, Ye Qingxian absorbed its Soul Ring and Spirit Bone and emerged as Begonia Douluo.

• Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian decided she needed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, so Lin Xiao brought her, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress to sea.

• Ye Qingxian absorbed the Crimson Giant Algae's Soul Ring and Spirit Bone and revealed that her new Ninth Soul Skill would surprise Lin Xiao.

Ye Qingxian became Begonia Douluo after advancing to Titled Douluo, while hiding her sacrificial revival skill from Lin Xiao. After ceremonies on Sea God Island and at Spirit Hall, the news of her title reached Tang Yuehua, who reacted with a flash of complicated emotion.

• Ye Qingxian told Lin Xiao that Begonia Dream restored allies, but concealed her second skill, Flower Fall, Flower Bloom, which could revive the dead by sacrificing herself.
• Bo Saixi offered to confer a title on Ye Qingxian at Sea God Island, and Lin Xiao introduced her to the Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
• Ye Qingxian received the title Begonia Douluo on Sea God Island, then Qian Daoliu held a second conferment ceremony at Spirit Hall while Bibi Dong remained in seclusion.
• News of Begonia Douluo spread across the continent, and Tang Yuehua showed a brief, difficult-to-read reaction when she heard it.

Tang Yuehua regretted turning away from Ye Qingxian as the ruined Clear Sky Sect tried to secure its future through Tang San, while Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun maneuvered for power in the Star Luo Empire. In the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue grew impatient with her delayed God Trial and had Xue Ye suddenly fall gravely ill.

• Tang Yuehua refused to intervene when the Clear Sky Sect steward urged her to help find Tang San and preserve the Sect’s bloodline.
• The steward explained that Tang San had escaped Dai Weisi, while his teacher and friend remained captured.

• Zhu Zhuyun consolidated the factions supporting Dai Weisi while privately waiting for his power and life to end.
• Qian Daoliu urged Qian Renxue to prioritize her God Trial, and Qian Renxue arranged for Xue Ye to become gravely ill.

After learning that Xue Ye was critically ill from poisoning, Lin Xiao visited Qian Renxue, exposed her disguise, and warned her not to let ordinary people suffer in the coming political turmoil. Qian Renxue accepted his warning and asked to start their acquaintance anew.

• Ning Fengzhi saw that Xue Ye was near death but could not identify the cause, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect searched for the missing Dugu Bo to confirm whether Xue Ye was poisoned.
• Lin Xiao told Ye Qingxian that Xue Ye was poisoned and that Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was likely behind it; Ye Qingxian revealed the powers of her 100,000-year soul bone and declined extra protection.

• Lin Xiao advised Qian Renxue to follow her heart and let go of her self-imposed shackles before leaving her.
• Xue Ye recovered, and Xue Qinghe disappeared, prompting Xue Ye to launch an investigation while Xue Beng celebrated and Prince Xue Xing cautioned him.
• Qian Renxue told Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo that she had chosen to abandon her undercover mission and pursue strength to protect people without starting a war.
• Lin Xiao inferred that Qian Renxue had spared Xue Ye, let go of his old grudge, and considered forming an alliance with her.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion got lost in a remote canyon while seeking Heaven Dou City, where she met Dugu Bo and said she wanted to become Lin Xiao's mate.
• Dugu Bo recognized Lin Xiao from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's description and accused him of having another lover, so she angrily called Dugu Bo a fool.

Dugu Bo mistook the Three-Eyed Golden Lion for a girl involved with Lin Xiao, subdued her, and brought her to Heaven Dou City. Lin Xiao recognized her Golden Dragon King bloodline and identified her as the Emperor Auspicious Beast, leaving her afraid of what he would do.

• Dugu Bo encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, misunderstood her connection to Lin Xiao, and fought her when she attacked him.

• Gu Yuena arrived, picked Wang Qiu'er up, took the place beside Lin Xiao, and asked him to play a game, shocking Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er and Gu Yuena both decided they wanted children with Lin Xiao, while Lin Xiao tried to keep their plans under control. At the Lake of Life, the Fierce Beasts learned the Emperor Auspicious Beast had likely gone to Heaven Dou City, and Zi Ji set out to find her and bring Gu Yuena back.

• Wang Qiu'er asked Gu Yuena whether she wanted children with Lin Xiao, and Gu Yuena eagerly agreed after hearing they would eat and sleep together.
• Wang Qiu'er resolved to have a child with Lin Xiao, while Xiao Wu was stunned and Feng Yu laughed at Gu Yuena's words.

• Zi JI fell from the sky and landed safely, while Lin Xiao questioned why she had sought him out; Feng Yu urged him to subdue her as a mount.

He explained his plans to spare and pacify the Star Dou Great Forest’s Fierce Beasts, and promised to create a future in which Spirit Beasts could thrive and potentially become gods.

Lin Xiao discussed the Emperor Auspicious Beast and Feng Yu’s stance toward Gu Yuena, while Qian Renxue returned to Spirit Hall to resume her Angel God training and Shui Bing’er advanced to her next trial. In Slaughter City, Tang San’s delayed Asura God trial led him to reject the Clear Sky Sect’s plea for heirs and kill its messenger as he set out to find Grandmaster.

• Lin Xiao and Feng Yu discussed the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s potential and agreed they had no fundamental conflict with Gu Yuena.

• Tang San suppressed his urge to massacre the remaining sect members and decided to check whether Grandmaster was alive.

After leaving Slaughter City, Tang San learned that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been wiped out and that Yu Tianheng and Oscar were living in the Star Luo Empire. He confronted Yu Tianheng in Star Luo City, where Yu Tianheng refused to answer his threats and kept secret that Grandmaster had been rescued.

• Star Crown Douluo restricted Tang San’s movements and sent a massive silver chess piece crashing down on him.

• Tang San killed the Soul Ancestor who had been gathering information for him and drank the man’s blood before fleeing to a riverbank in horror.
• Tang San recalled that Tang Yuehua’s Martial Soul and music had eased his negative emotions, so he decided to seek her help controlling his killing intent.
