• Xiao Tianyang asked Bixi to create an opening, and Bixi agreed to help once.
• Bixi’s suppressive force pinned the flood dragon in place, and Xiao Tianyang summoned the Dragon Head Guillotine and shouted for it to open.

Xiao Tianyang killed the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon with the Dragon Head Guillotine, but the beast’s soul attacked him after its heads were severed and poisoned him with a potent toxin. After trapping the soul in the Yin Yang Umbrella and stabilizing his wounds, Xiao Tianyang left with Big White, insisting they take the coral too.

• Xiao Tianyang used the Dragon Head Guillotine to sever the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon’s heads, killing it and exhausting the treasure’s divinity.

• Xiao Tianyang stabilized his condition but remained badly wounded, so he asked Big White to take him back to shore.
• Xiao Tianyang told Big White to collect the coral before they left, and Big White carried him toward it.

After Xiao Tianyang survived the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon’s poison, Big White rushed him back to camp, where Bo Saixi and Sea Witch prepared to remove the rotted flesh from his wounds. The surgery began with Sea Witch worried about operating near his heart.

Four days after Xiao Tianyang was injured fighting the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon, he woke to find Sea Witch caring for him and gave her the creature’s Right Arm Bone.

• Octopus Boss told Xiao Tianyang that a shipwreck 300 li west held an Ocean Secret Treasure, but it was in Merman Clan territory.

Xiao Tianyang learned that the Merman Clan worshipped the sealed Dark Star Sea God and had been corrupted by its lingering power. After discovering that the Ocean Secret Treasure, the History Conch, belonged to the Merfolk Race, he promised Sea Witch he would retrieve it and planned to set out once his wounds had healed.

Xiao Tianyang returned to the Deep Sea Prison to retrieve the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon's corpse and repay Bixi for saving his life. After learning that Bixi was imprisoned to keep Sea God Island from sinking, Xiao Tianyang began planning its rescue and claimed he had a way to replace its power.

• Xiao Tianyang stored the Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon's corpse in a talisman and told Bixi he had returned to repay his debt.
• Bixi said it wanted to leave, but explained that the Sea God had imprisoned it because its power suppressed the sea region's thousand-year tsunamis and protected Sea God Island.
• Xiao Tianyang considered how to handle the Sea God's reaction and realized he could use one of his magical treasures to keep the island from sinking.
• Xiao Tianyang said he would first free Bixi and claimed his plan had a ninety-nine percent chance of success.

Xiao Tianyang began breaking the divine seal imprisoning Bixi, alarming Bo Saixi and drawing the Sea God’s attention. After Xiao Tianyang secured the Sea God’s consent, Bo Saixi reluctantly let him continue despite the risk.

• Bo Saixi discovered that Xiao Tianyang was attacking the cracked seal pillar imprisoning Bixi in Deep Sea Prison.

• Bo Saixi saw how badly the seal pillar was cracked and grudgingly stepped aside, allowing Xiao Tianyang to continue.

Xiao Tianyang freed Bixi from the divine-power sealing pillar and used an ancient pagoda and nine talismans to keep Sea God Island from sinking. He then revealed a plan to turn tsunamis into an economic resource, but Bo Saixi doubted that Sea God Island could fit his proposed City on Water.

• Xiao Tianyang told Bixi to wait while he finished his work, and Bixi moved aside, eager to be freed after thousands of years in captivity.

• Xiao Tianyang showed Bo Saixi a model of a City on Water, but she questioned whether Sea God Island had enough room for it.

Xiao Tianyang and Bo Saixi activated [Water Capital], transforming Sea God Island into a vast illuminated city. As the islanders prayed at the sight, Tang San worried about Bibi Dong’s power, while his companions tried to reassure him and lighten the mood.

• Xiao Tianyang told Bo Saixi that [Water Capital] would build itself in Sea God Island’s central city and asked her to evacuate the residents while crediting the Sea God.
• Bo Saixi ordered everyone, including Tang San and the others, to leave the island, then secretly brought Xiao Tianyang to Sea God Palace.
• Xiao Tianyang explained how to activate [Water Capital], and Bo Saixi channeled the island’s divine power into the floating model without interruption.
• [Water Capital] transformed Sea God Island with walls, buildings, canals, docks, fountains, and streetlights, prompting the residents to kneel and pray.
• Tang San worried that Bibi Dong would soon wield similar power, while Xiao Wu comforted him and Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar began squabbling nearby.

Xiao Tianyang showed Bo Saixi how he had transformed Sea God Island into a fortified, fully equipped floating city modeled on [Water Capital]. After the islanders settled in, he urged Bo Saixi to open Sea God Island to trade and the mainland, leaving her to seek approval from the person with authority to decide.

• Bo Saixi admired the transformed city before Xiao Tianyang explained its amenities and revealed that Sea God Island had become a giant ship anchored above Deep Sea Prison.

• Bo Saixi explained that she would not interfere in external affairs and that Sea God Island would continue avoiding involvement in Douluo Continent's forces and events.

• Xiao Tianyang said he wanted to recommend Saber to Bo Saixi but explained that Saber could advise her remotely because Divine Might could not spare anyone to travel.
• Xiao Tianyang revealed that the Barbarian Tribe's former royal descendants were preparing to unify the Savage Forest, backed by a ruler and Great General who had become demigods.

• Xiao Tianyang ordered Big White, the crocodile, the turtle, and Octopus Boss to clear the back mountain and helped transform it into a two-courtyard farmhouse with farmland, a bridge, and Chinese-style buildings.

Xiao Tianyang finished overseeing the Soul Beasts’ labor and discussed Bo Saixi’s plans to turn Water Capital into a trade center. He pointed out that Sea God Island lacked a compelling reason for merchants to come, and Bo Saixi left him responsible for finding one.
