• After the three parted at noon, Bibi Dong examined Lu Jing's martial soul in her secret chamber and decided to erase him if she could not control him.

Bibi Dong learned from the Rakshasa God that Lu Jing’s black lotus could suppress divine power and might attract the God of Destruction’s inheritance. After agreeing to control or kill him, she decided to use him against the Angel God.

After six years in Spirit Hall, Lu Jing reached level forty-eight while Wang Dong'er reached level fifty-three. They agreed to travel around the continent, and Lu Jing entered Spirit Hall's Scripture Depository with Qian Daoliu's authorization to consult its most restricted materials.

• Six years passed, and Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er continued cultivating together in Spirit Hall.
• Lu Jing proposed that he and Wang Dong'er travel around the continent, and she agreed to leave after three days of preparation.
• Lu Jing asked Qian Daoliu for authorization to consult the top floor of the Scripture Depository, and Qian Daoliu gave him his token.
• Lu Jing presented the token to the guards and entered Spirit Hall's vast Scripture Depository.

Lu Jing searched Spirit Hall’s Scripture Depository for records on rare herbs and found a guide to immortal plants, then left to prepare for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yan confronted him out of jealousy over Hu Liena, but Lu Jing defeated and humiliated him before returning to the Worship Hall.

• Lu Jing used Qian Daoliu’s Angel Token to ask the Scripture Depository’s elder for records on rare herbs, and the elder directed him to the fourth floor.

• Lu Jing dislocated Yan’s wrist, beat him, and told him he had no interest in Hu Liena and would marry Wang Dong'er instead.
• Lu Jing left for the Worship Hall while Yan collapsed in the rubble.

Bibi Dong summoned Lu Jing after his clash with Yan, but instead of punishing him, she asked for his view of Spirit Hall’s future. Lu Jing argued that Spirit Hall would seek to unify the continent once Qian Renxue gained control of Heaven Dou’s army and government.

• Wang Dong'er worried that Bibi Dong might punish Lu Jing over his fight with Yan, but he reassured her and went to the Pope's Palace.
• Bibi Dong confirmed Yan had provoked Lu Jing and asked him about Spirit Hall’s current situation and future path.
• Lu Jing said Spirit Hall’s only choice was to unify the continent, but its lack of an army prevented it from ruling territory.
• Lu Jing explained that Qian Xue'er’s infiltration of the Heaven Dou Empire could give Spirit Hall access to its army and administration, making a war against the Star Luo Empire and continental unification likely.

Bibi Dong offered to kill Yan as a way of helping Lu Jing, but Lu Jing refused and chose to avoid taking sides in the conflict between the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall. He left still unable to discern Bibi Dong's motives, determined to focus on becoming stronger.

• Bibi Dong told Lu Jing she would support him over Yan, then had Yue Guan bring the injured Yan into her study.

• Lu Jing asked why Bibi Dong had summoned him, and she said she wanted him to see her sincerity and attitude.
• Lu Jing left the Pope's Palace for the Worship Hall, resolving to reach level fifty and build his strength.

Lu Jing told Wang Dong'er about Bibi Dong's apparent offer to kill Yan, and Wang Dong'er concluded that Bibi Dong was laying bait to draw him closer over time. They decided to remain with the Worship Hall for now, keep their distance from the Pope's Palace, and focus on becoming stronger, leaving Lu Jing to wonder how his actions might affect the future.

• Lu Jing returned to his room troubled by Bibi Dong's meeting and recounted its events to Wang Dong'er.
• Wang Dong'er reasoned that Bibi Dong had used her treatment of Yan to make Lu Jing feel specially favored and prepare him to accept future offers.
• Wang Dong'er advised Lu Jing to stay with the Worship Hall, where their footing and resources were more secure, rather than choose sides prematurely.
• Lu Jing agreed to keep his distance from the Pope's Palace, accept possible benefits cautiously, and focus on growing stronger and finding a way back.
• As he tried to sleep, Lu Jing worried that changing the past could alter whether Wang Dong'er and Bei Bei existed or whether he had traveled to this era at all.

Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er left Spirit Hall for Nuoding City, where Lu Jing planned to pursue a key opportunity connected to Tang San's beginnings. After arriving, he began plotting to use Wang Dong'er, Xiao Wu, and possibly Ah Yin against Tang San, while considering how to obtain and revive Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor body.

• Qian Daoliu approved Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er's journey and gave Lu Jing a Worship Token to secure help from Spirit Hall branches.
• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er traveled from Spirit City to Nuoding City over half a month, and Lu Jing explained that visiting Qian Renxue in Heaven Dou City would risk disrupting her mission.

• Lu Jing expanded his plan to include Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, imagining them joining Wang Dong'er against Tang San.
• Lu Jing reasoned that reviving Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor body before Tang San awakened his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline could prevent that awakening, and he began weighing the risks of the plan.

Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er traveled to Holy Soul Village after finding Tang San's awakening record, though Lu Jing insisted he was seeking a treasure rather than Tang San. He brought Wang Dong'er to a moonlit field of white flowers on the back mountain, where they arrived at a beautiful flower sea.

• Lu Jing used his Worship Token to obtain Nuoding City's recent martial-soul awakening records and found Tang San's entry from Holy Soul Village.
• Lu Jing told Wang Dong'er that they did not need Tang San to attain godhood, arguing that their future knowledge and Spirit Hall's resources were enough.

• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er reached a moonlit field covered in white flowers, and Wang Dong'er admired its beauty.

• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er searched the mountain until Wang Dong'er sensed a bloodline connection pointing into the woods.
• Wang Dong'er led Lu Jing to a cave hidden behind a waterfall, and Lu Jing destroyed the boulder blocking its entrance.

• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er took Ah Yin's original Blue Silver Emperor body and left the cave with the Soul Bone.

• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er slipped into Nuoding City and abducted Xiao Wu from her dormitory at Nuoding Academy.
• After they left the city, Wang Dong'er questioned Lu Jing about taking Xiao Wu, and he dismissed the risk of Tang San or Tang Hao pursuing them.
• At dawn, Wang Dong'er began absorbing the soul bone while Lu Jing stood guard.
• Lu Jing woke Xiao Wu and told her that he knew she was a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit, but said he would protect her rather than kill her.
• Lu Jing offered Xiao Wu a chance to take revenge on Bibi Dong and explained that the Worship Hall opposed the Pope's Palace.
• Lu Jing revealed that Tang San was Tang Hao's son and warned Xiao Wu that Tang Hao might target her for her soul ring, leaving her unable to respond.

Lu Jing eased Xiao Wu’s distrust and brought her along toward Heaven Dou City while Wang Dong'er absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. The three continued their journey together, and Lu Jing reflected that the changes to the story had only begun as he sought his own path to godhood.

• Xiao Wu questioned Lu Jing’s motives, but his argument that he had already had chances to harm her led her to accept that she had no choice but to travel with him.

• Xiao Wu introduced herself to Wang Dong'er, and the two chatted as they traveled toward a town with Lu Jing.

After discovering that Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor body and soul bone had been stolen, Tang Hao wrongly blamed Holy Soul Village and slaughtered its people before vowing revenge on Spirit Hall. Meanwhile, Lu Jing, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Wu arrived in Heaven Dou City and planned to buy a gift before meeting Qian Renxue.

• Tang Hao found Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor body and Hundred Thousand Year Right Leg Bone missing from the hidden cave, and his grief and rage triggered his injuries.

• Lu Jing said he intended to meet Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who was Qian Renxue in disguise.

After Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er killed Xue Xing and Xue Beng, Lu Jing explained that their actions belonged to a new timeline and would not alter their original world. Qian Renxue learned of the killings and prepared to meet Lu Jing the next morning, pleased that the deaths strengthened her position but still wary of his motives.

• Lu Jing reassured Wang Dong'er that the Worship Hall’s authority made retaliation from the Heaven Dou Empire unlikely and explained that Xue Beng and Xue Xing had threatened Qian Renxue's succession.
