• Xuan Mo brought more than two hundred Soul Masters to his training grounds and explained that they had to cross a thousand-meter pressure-resistance field, where divine pressure rose with distance.

• Ji Xiang reached five hundred meters with the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill before stopping to adapt to the pressure.
• Bai Potian passed four hundred meters but struggled because his sealed physical strength left him without other techniques or intent to rely on.

Bai Potian and the other soul masters struggled to cross the pressure-resistance training ground under Xuan Mo's Earth God divine power, while Xia Xiaoyou relied on Substitute Gu to advance. By the seventh day, Dongguo Eleven completed the thousand-meter trial just before time ran out, and the eight remaining participants were eliminated.

• Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Xia Xiaoyou, Marcia Aguilar, and Zhang Wuliang completed the trial on the fourth day; Xia Xiaoyou lost six Substitute Gu and suffered severe injuries.

• Dongguo Eleven leaped past the thousand-meter mark with five minutes remaining, and Xuan Mo had the eight unsuccessful participants removed before gathering the survivors.

Xuan Mo began the Soul Masters’ combat and resistance training by sending them into a field of indestructible Earth puppets armed with pain-inflicting spiked maces. After the first day, Bei Mingchen and Xia Xiaoyou remained unharmed, while the others endured repeated knockouts.

• Xuan Mo transformed the resistance training ground into a desert filled with nearly a thousand Earth puppets and ordered the Soul Masters to spend twenty hours a day dodging them.
• Bei Mingchen destroyed five puppets with a sword strike, but they reformed; he then used persistent sword intent to keep them from reaching him.
• The Earth puppets attacked the Soul Masters in groups of five, knocking many unconscious, and Xuan Mo restored them before sending them back into the field.

After seven days of Xuan Mo’s punishing resistance training, Jin Zi began a two-week survival trial in a mountain filled with respawning soul beasts. The remaining Soul Masters entered a deadly fight for their lives, while Bei Mingchen and Xia Xiaoyou faced stronger opponents on separate peaks.

• Bai Potian fought recklessly against the hundred-year soul beasts, while Dongguo Eleven watched from hiding and struck only when he spotted a weakness.

The Soul Masters continued the God Creation Plan’s training, with Jin Zi’s mountain trials and the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord’s Nightmare Realm reducing their numbers before the later gods’ lessons. After Zhang Haisheng’s instruction, Mo Yun’s poison training eliminated forty-three more participants, while Tang San’s training left only two more eliminated and eighty-one Soul Masters remained.

• Zhang Haisheng taught the Soul Masters while Zhang Wuliang repeatedly rebutted him, but no one was eliminated during the two weeks of his training.

• Ling Xiaojiu and the other thirteen gods escorted the forty-two soul masters from the Nameless Mountain Range to Spirit City.
• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena appeared at the central plaza with their cultivation at the middle stage of Limit Douluo.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena announced that the God Creation Plan’s final selection would be a deadly battle, but the remaining contenders agreed to let Bei Mingchen and Xia Xiaoyou enter directly. The two regained their sealed strength, and Xia Xiaoyou received a God-bestowed Spirit Ring as she prepared to absorb it.

• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena revealed that the final round would force the participants to fight until only ten survived, prompting twenty-five of the forty-two contestants to withdraw over three days.
• The remaining seventeen Soul Masters gathered in Spirit City, including Bei Mingchen, Xia Xiaoyou, and fifteen other contenders.
• Gu Chen offered Bei Mingchen and Xia Xiaoyou two places in the God Creation Plan without requiring them to fight, and all fifteen others agreed.

• Gu Chen and the fourteen gods teleported the contestants into a small arena and raised their Soul Power and physical strength to level eleven, allowing them to use their first Spirit Abilities.
• Mo Qianya summoned hundreds of Black Crows against Ji Xiang, who used his silver needles and Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers technique to kill them.
• Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong rushed to support Ji Xiang, while Yan Xuehun and Yu Tianwu moved toward Mo Qianya, and the seven began fighting.

Ji Xiang used Ning Rongrong’s support and his hidden weapons to turn the fight against Mo Qianya and his allies. He destroyed Mo Qianya’s Black Crows with a makeshift Peacock Plume and severely wounded Yu Tianwu, though the weapon was ruined in the process.

• Ji Xiang fired his Peacock Plume, wiping out most of the Black Crows and severely wounding Yu Tianwu, who had shielded Mo Qianya.
• Ji Xiang found that the Peacock Plume had been reduced to scrap after its single use.

Yu Tianwu and Yan Xuehun died in the battle against Dai Mubai's group, and Mo Qianya betrayed Yan Xuehun to absorb her life force and become an Evil Soul Master. After Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong bought Ji Xiang ten breaths of time, Ji Xiang killed Mo Qianya with Guanyin Has Tears, astonishing Tang San.

• Tang San recognized Guanyin Has Tears and celebrated Ji Xiang's achievement.

After Ji Xiang killed Mo Qianya with Guanyin Has Tears, Zhang Wuliang and Marcia Aguilar defeated Yuan Ye and Xuan Ming. They then headed toward the three-way fight between Nangong Yu, Yu Zhu, and Bai Potian, leaving Ji Xiang and Dongguo Eleven alone for the moment.

• Zhang Wuliang and Marcia Aguilar chose to approach the three-way battle between Nangong Yu, Yu Zhu, and Bai Potian, avoiding Ji Xiang and Dongguo Eleven.
