• Golden light particles rose from the people of Spirit City and gathered into a river above the city that flowed toward the imperial palace.

Gu Chen claimed the Spirit Hall Empire’s Imperial Seal and formed a Destiny Golden Dragon from the continent’s gathered destiny as he took control of the empire. He spared the officials, strengthened the Shadow Guard, rewarded his allies with titles, and was left facing Qian Renxue, the Angel God, as she entered the hall.

Gu Chen won ten Death Ray Towers in a God-tier Lottery and installed one above the Spirit Empire Imperial Palace, where it absorbed Soul Power and became a formidable defense. He named it the Nation-Protecting Divine Pagoda and used an imperial decree to present it as Heaven’s blessing, winning over Spirit City’s remaining dissenters.

• Gu Chen used a God-tier Lottery and received ten Death Ray Towers, weapons capable of firing attacks comparable to a Level One Deity’s full-force strike when fully charged.
• Gu Chen reasoned that the towers would draw on Soul Power instead of divine energy on the Douluo Continent, and that Xuan Mo could guard them.
• Gu Chen reinforced the Spirit Empire Imperial Palace, installed a Death Ray Tower above it, and watched it absorb nearby Soul Power until it could fire three attacks comparable to a Limit Douluo’s full-force strike.
• Gu Chen ordered General Huang to proclaim the tower a gift from Heaven and named it the Nation-Protecting Divine Pagoda.
• Spirit City’s citizens accepted the decree, and the city’s few remaining opponents of Gu Chen’s rule submitted to him.

After learning that the Heaven Dou Empire had fallen and that its emperor’s illegitimate son possessed an unusual power, Gu Chen set out to meet the returning Heaven Punishing Army. Meanwhile, underground leaders plotted to destroy Spirit City’s God-Given Pagoda while most of its Title Douluo were away.

• Rou'er agreed to support the attack after Zhang Wuliang said only one Title Douluo remained in the city.

• The Death Ray Tower targeted the three leaders assigned to cover the retreat and killed them after they fled beyond Spirit City.

Zhang Wuliang and Rou'er fled Spirit City after the Death Ray Tower destroyed their forces, then agreed to marry and leave for Sun Moon Continent. Meanwhile, Gu Chen arrived at the army camp and questioned the tortured Xue Qian about the divine power linked to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• Zhang Wuliang told Rou'er that the Death Ray Tower's attacks matched Qian Daoliu's full-power strikes and proposed fleeing to Sun Moon Continent.

• Tang San unleashed his Blue Silver Overlord Spear at the Sea God’s Inheritance Temple.
• Gu Chen asked Xue Qian about the Heaven Dou Empire’s Imperial Seal, and Xue Qian denied having it before Gu Chen revealed that its owner could store it in their sea of consciousness.

He killed Xue Qian, the last descendant of the Heaven Dou imperial bloodline, and left the Heaven Punishing Army to return to Spirit City.

• After two hours at sea, Gu Chen and Gu Yuena met the Evil Orca King and several dozen adult Evil Spirit Orcas.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena reached the Sun Moon Continent with the Evil Orca King's help and began investigating the Sun Moon Empire. They learned that its people used Soul Tools, including weapons usable by ordinary civilians.

• Gu Chen thanked the Evil Orca King, who explained that Gu Chen had saved his clan by arranging its migration and helping him avoid death at Tang San's hands.
• The Evil Orca King took Gu Chen and Gu Yuena across the sea, and Gu Chen confirmed the distant continent's position on his map before dismissing their escort with a Communication Talisman Stone.

• Gu Chen asked a bread seller about the city, and she told him it belonged to the Sun Moon Empire, the only empire on the continent.
• The woman explained that ordinary people could use Level 1 Melee Soul Tools for protection, and Gu Chen said Soul Tool-making methods had been lost in his homeland.

• Gu Chen told Gu Yuena that the civil war offered them an opportunity to conquer the Sun Moon Continent.

Gu Chen explained his plan to prolong the Sun Moon Empire’s civil war by selling Level 5 Milk Bottles to the Council, then use the Emperor’s despair and renewed hope to force him into a Master-Servant Soul Contract. He and Gu Yuena followed a hidden trail of coded marks to a masked underground hall.

• Gu Chen told Gu Yuena he would use Milk Bottles to strengthen the Council and prolong the war, then make the Sun Moon Empire’s Emperor his puppet.

• Gu Chen identified an unmarked tavern as the entrance to a secret meeting place and used a coded knock to gain entry.
• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena descended into a hall where masked guests gathered around a counter and read parchment scrolls.
