As Di Tian and Qing Mu prepared to fight, Mega Venusaur broke through Qian Daoliu’s Angel Domain and began transforming further.

• Di Tian recognized Qing Mu’s mental attack as a technique derived from the Ten Thousand Demon King, but Qing Mu told him Instant Ten Thousand Years was not his strongest move.

• Qian Renxue admitted that she could no longer defeat Qing Mu, and Qian Daoliu said Spirit Hall’s future depended on her becoming a god.

• The Angel God returned to the ground, and Qing Mu cursed after realizing she was alive.

The Angel God watched Qing Mu's battle and learned that the Silver Dragon King had returned, then agreed to help the Asura God enforce the God Realm's rules elsewhere. Meanwhile, Poseidon searched the Douluo Continent for an inheritor and spotted a promising figure.

• The Angel God reviewed events on the Douluo Continent, saw Qing Mu fight Di Tian, and noted the Silver Dragon King's return.

Di Tian tried to recruit the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King by promising that Gu Yuena might help him become a god, but the whale king refused to trust him and challenged his authority. Di Tian transformed into his Black Dragon true form and fought him, while Qing Mu sensed the battle from Vast Sea City.

• Di Tian offered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King rule over the seas and guidance in cultivation, but the whale king demanded help becoming a god.

After Di Tian reported that Qing Mu had taken the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as his ninth Soul Ring, Gu Yuena decided the Soul Beasts should avoid confronting him and wait for him to ascend or die. Qing Mu completed his breakthrough to Titled Douluo at level ninety-six, then harvested the whale’s treasures and suspected its Whale Pearls were Soul Cores.

• Di Tian told Gu Yuena that Qing Mu had chosen the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as his ninth Soul Ring, ending the recruitment attempt.
