Hua Bu Luo endured Gongsun Die’s Flower God-suppressing attack, then faced her Hundred Flower Domain and its relentless cherry blossom assault. He activated his own Flower God Domain to weaken flower-based attacks as the trial continued.

• Gu Chen learned that the system could conceal his and Gu Yuena’s auras in the minor plane, though not completely conceal heavenly secrets.

• Ling Xiaojiu, Gu Chen, and Gu Yuena crossed Forest Lake with the protection of Ling Xiaojiu’s Goddess of Forest mark.
• Kaya Sen, the Goddess of Forest High Priest, welcomed them and led them into the inheritance temple to retrieve the Forest Singing Butterfly Qin.
• Kaya Sen explained that Ling Xiaojiu’s trial was to activate nine emerald crystals simultaneously within two breaths.
• Ling Xiaojiu discovered that the temple suppressed her ability to channel Soul Power into multiple targets, making the crystals’ slow charging and rapid discharge seem impossible to manage.
• Gu Chen told Ling Xiaojiu to charge each crystal to ninety-nine percent, then add the final amount needed to activate them all in quick succession.

Ling Xiaojiu activated the nine crystals and obtained the Forest Singing Butterfly Qin after Gu Yuena taught her to pass through its life-energy barrier. Completing the Seventh Trial raised her to Limit Douluo and granted her the Goddess of Forest’s divine skills, before a mysterious woman appeared in the inheritance temple.

• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena cultivated through the night and both broke through to Rank 97, while Gu Chen released another seal within himself.

• Gu Chen told Luo Chen about the divine-grade jasmine flower, and Luo Chen insisted on accompanying him despite the danger.

• Five giant mutated penguins and three mutated birds burst from the pit and attacked the group.
• Xuan Mo used his Earth God divine armor to smash one mutated bird into the ground, while Gu Chen drew his Golden Dragon Spear and activated King's Path.

• Gu Chen killed two ninth-rank zombies with the Golden Dragon Spear, Gu Yuena killed two with her Light Sword and dark power, and Gu Chen finished the last one.
• Xuan Mo reported that he had killed three mutated penguins by extracting their Earth Element Condensation Crystals.
• Gu Chen, Gu Yuena, Luo Chen, and Xuan Mo flew into the deep pit, where Gu Yuena felt uncomfortable from the Zombie Virus and returned to the surface.
• Gu Chen lit the dark pit with his soul rings, and Luo Chen sensed that its metallic-looking floor was Zombie Virus compressed into a solid state.

Gu Chen and his companions discovered that the meteorite was solidified Zombie Virus and that plucking the Jasmine of Poisonous Destruction would release it. They sealed the pit, then Luo Chen harvested the flower and consumed it in soup to advance his divine trial, leaving the virus decomposing beneath the seal.

• Luo Chen sensed that the ground was solidified Zombie Virus, and Gu Chen identified the Jasmine of Poisonous Destruction as the flower keeping it stable.
• Luo Chen refused to complete his divine trial if doing so would infect every living being in the Apocalypse Earth Plane.
• Gu Yuena suggested sealing the pit, and Xuan Mo used Earth Element techniques to create a seal that only a Level One Deity or higher could break.
• Gu Yuena transported Gu Chen, Xuan Mo, and Luo Chen back into the pit, where Gu Chen prepared tremella soup for the Jasmine of Poisonous Destruction.

• Luo Chen's Food God Mark showed that his divine trial progress had increased, and he dry-heaved after the soup merged into his body.

• Luo Chen discovered that Jasmine of Poisonous Destruction’s absorption had let him take in the Zombie Virus, and Gu Chen urged him to absorb it while he and Xuan Mo stood guard.
• Luo Chen filled his sea of consciousness with Zombie Virus, then converted the excess into Soul Power and broke through from level 95 to Level 98 in twelve hours.
• Luo Chen continued absorbing the virus for three days and reached Level 99, then kept cultivating as Gu Chen and Xuan Mo guarded him.

• Luo Chen told Gu Chen he had succeeded, and explained that the remaining ninety percent of the Zombie Virus was stored in his sea of consciousness.
