• Sea God Poseidon persuaded Asura God to try mortal food and revealed that he wanted to find an inheritor while investigating Saint Teacher Ratio.

Dr. Ratio criticized the students’ crude Soul Tools, then summoned Sea God Poseidon, Poseidon, and the Titled Douluo to his laboratory for their cooperation. Sea God Poseidon revealed that the God Realm had given him only three days, equivalent to three years on Douluo Continent, but Dr. Ratio said they could try to strengthen his divine power.

Dr. Ratio began an experiment to split a subordinate godhood from Sea God Poseidon’s authority and have Bo Saixi inherit it. After carefully extracting the new Ocean God Goddess Godhood, he helped Bo Saixi transform her Soul Power into divine power, making her a god.

Ratio split off part of Sea God Poseidon’s godhood to create the Ocean Goddess Godhood for Bo Saixi, then prepared to distribute more godhoods among the Sea Douluo guardians. Poseidon’s attempt to split his own godhood nearly killed him, and after Ratio repaired him, the God Realm learned what had happened and was left stunned by Ratio’s method.

• Ratio absorbed the God of Slaughter Godhood and studied Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia, discovering black energy sealed within it by a Thread of Fate connecting it to another Nine Heart Begonia.

Asura God told the other God-Kings that Saint Teacher Ratio had strengthened Sea God Poseidon’s divine power and created a subordinate god, prompting them to question the limits of human knowledge. Meanwhile, the Free Alliance spread across the kingdoms and duchies, and Prince Xue Xing warned Xue Ye that the Crown Prince might be an impostor.

• Asura God reported Poseidon’s success to the other God-Kings, who doubted Saint Teacher Ratio’s achievement and proposed observing Poseidon’s next attempt to split his godhood.

• Dr. Ratio warned the Five Great God-Kings that splitting Sea God Poseidon's godhood carried risks, though Poseidon insisted he was unharmed.
