• Swain questioned the purpose of the attacks until Karma warned him that the enemy was targeting someone else and that a hidden figure might be seeking favor with a powerful being.

• Xiao Tianyang assessed Eternal Night’s combat strength and decided not to pursue reforms that might disrupt Douluo Continent’s cultivation.
• Satan told Xiao Tianyang that the plan had succeeded and asked whether they should withdraw.
• Xiao Tianyang questioned how the attack on the Void served the plan targeting Gnar Fagern.
• Satan explained that Gnar Fagern’s ambition to break through made it willing to risk provoking the Void, and that the plan relied on turning them against each other.
• Xiao Tianyang understood Satan’s strategy of borrowing a knife to kill someone, while Satan noted that the plan required wounding and frightening the Void without crippling it.

Xiao Tianyang gathered with Satan on the newly discovered island in the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils to learn about a mysterious natural phenomenon tied to his Soul Core. Satan explained that Great Emperor Tian Xuan had encountered it too, leaving Xiao Tianyang to compare their achievements and consider its power.

• Tiger’s Atonement Legion destroyed dozens of Evil Spirit Noble bases and stole supplies, secrets, and research on Evil Demons and new vessels.
• Xiao Tianyang left Tiger’s group behind and met Satan at the Legion’s temporary island base to hear what Satan knew.
• Xiao Tianyang asked about a phenomenon Satan had seen in spacetime, and Satan said Great Emperor Tian Xuan had called it a source of all energy.

• Xiao Tianyang realized Great Emperor Tian Xuan had reached the same field at a higher cultivation level but after more than forty years of cultivation, while Xiao Tianyang had achieved it at a Bone Age of about twenty.

Xiao Tianyang discussed the mysterious energy vortex with Satan and tasked him with investigating how it formed. With Eternal Night’s three-part plan over and its factions weakened by internal strife, Xiao Tianyang considered how the Atonement Legion could take advantage of the situation.

• Xiao Tianyang explained that he had created the vortex by combining two forces around his Soul Core, but admitted he did not understand how the process transformed them.

• Xiao Tianyang warned Tiger that Eternal Night would soon be exposed to the Evil Spirit Nobles and urged her to act patiently and protect her life.
• Satan told Xiao Tianyang that Swain had mobilized Demacia and Ionia against Chaugnar Fagern, creating a chance for Eternal Night to seize his territory and the planes under his command.
• Satan presented a map of Chaugnar Fagern’s territory and identified the ogres as the strongest confirmed threat among his Vassal Races.
• Satan proposed sending Mammon behind the ogres and keeping the battle contained or ending it quickly so Eternal Night could trap and defeat them before entering the mountains.
• Satan explained that his forces had investigated Chaugnar Fagern’s trump cards and prepared countermeasures, while Xiao Tianyang listened until he understood the operation’s general outline.

Xiao Tianyang returned to Eternal Night, leaving Tiger and the Merman Clan to harass the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils cautiously while he planned a trip back to Douluo Continent.

• Xiao Tianyang told Qian Duoduo to let the visitors come to him, explaining to Yan Lingji that the Silver Dragon King had little leverage against his control of Douluo Continent and two major Soul Beast territories.

Xiao Tianyang met with the Silver Dragon King and her entourage to discuss the Star Dou Great Forest’s future. He rejected the idea of becoming their ally but offered two possible paths forward, leaving the Silver Dragon King to choose between them.

• Xiao Tianyang’s strength and the Sun Society’s growth had left the Star Dou Great Forest unable to compete with the other Soul Beast habitats.
• Qian Duoduo left the courtyard before Xiao Tianyang met with the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and their companions.

• Xiao Tianyang told the Silver Dragon King that neither she nor the Dragon God could be his ally, but offered two paths to survival.

Xiao Tianyang offered the Silver Dragon King two choices and argued that submitting to him would free her from the Dragon God while securing a future for Soul Beasts. The Silver Dragon King remained silent as he revealed Divine Might’s plans to reuse deceased Soul Masters’ soul rings.

• Xiao Tianyang offered to send the Silver Dragon King and her followers away from Douluo Continent or let them submit to him and govern the Star Dou Great Forest after the Dragon God was removed.
• Di Tian and Bi Ji reacted with shock to the second option, while Bi Ji favored it and Di Tian struggled with the Dragon God’s place in dragon tradition.

• Xiao Tianyang revealed that the institute was developing Soul Tools to absorb and reuse the soul rings of deceased Soul Masters, shocking the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King weighed Xiao Tianyang’s offer to join Divine Might and agreed to decide within a day. Wang Qiu'er then asked to join Divine Might, and Xiao Tianyang challenged her to help Shrek Academy’s team win the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.

• The Silver Dragon King asked when Xiao Tianyang could provide the promised technology, and he said he could give her an answer within half a year while warning that the Dragon God might notice his suppression.
• Bi Ji urged the Silver Dragon King to accept Xiao Tianyang’s offer, but the Silver Dragon King said she would decide within a day and asked for guest rooms.
• As the Silver Dragon King entered the guest room, Wang Qiu'er asked Xiao Tianyang if she could join Divine Might.
• Xiao Tianyang said Wang Qiu'er could study at Shenwu Academy, then asked her to help Shrek Academy’s promising team win the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.
• Wang Qiu'er said her joining could raise the team’s chances of winning by at least twenty percent, and Xiao Tianyang promised her a post in Divine Might if she helped them win the championship.

Xiao Tianyang approved Wang Qiu'er’s enrollment and sent her to join Huo Yuhua’s training team, while he and the Silver Dragon King argued over her importance to the Star Dou Great Forest. Wang Qiu'er met her new teammates at No. 3 Training Ground, where the Mimic Bio-human gave them ten minutes to get acquainted.

• Xiao Tianyang agreed to let Wang Qiu'er join the team, warning her not to cause friction, and she sealed the deal with a high-five.
• After Wang Qiu'er left with Qian Duoduo, the Silver Dragon King confronted Xiao Tianyang about what she meant to the Star Dou Great Forest, and he dismissed her concerns.
• Bi Ji calmed the Silver Dragon King and urged her to consider the practical consequences of joining Divine Might.
• Qian Duoduo brought Wang Qiu'er to No. 3 Training Ground, where the Mimic Bio-human offered her the choice to observe or begin training.

Xiao Tianyang discovered that the Silver Dragon King had destroyed the Dragon God's primary personality within her soul, exposing her betrayal to the Golden Dragon King. Angry that she had acted without telling him, he warned her and went to deal with the danger himself.

• The Silver Dragon King said she would bear the consequences of her actions, but Xiao Tianyang was angered that she had acted without consulting him.
• Xiao Tianyang told Yan Lingji to arrange the next steps for the Silver Dragon King, then left to deal with the hidden danger himself.

Xiao Tianyang and Allen eliminated the Dragon God's lingering primary consciousness by using the Silver Dragon King as a guide, preventing it from reaching the Golden Dragon King. Xiao Tianyang then resumed negotiations with the Star Dou Great Forest faction and laid out the strength of the Spirit Beast Legion and Sun Society.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Allen about the strange aura, and Allen showed him the captured Dragon God's primary consciousness.
• Xiao Tianyang explained the Dragon God’s connections to the Silver and Golden Dragon Kings, and Allen proposed a solution requiring the Silver Dragon King's cooperation.

• Allen used the Silver Dragon King's aura to send the Dragon God's primary consciousness to the afterlife, completing the operation in three minutes.
• After Allen departed, Xiao Tianyang resumed negotiations and asked Bi Ji about the Star Dou Great Forest faction’s plans.
• Bi Ji described the Spirit Beast Legion and Sun Society, including their commanders, forces, and formidable combat strength.

Xiao Tianyang challenged the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, and Bi Ji to show that the Star Dou Great Forest’s Soul Beasts had enough potential to merit greater investment from Divine Might. He gave them two days to prepare a rough plan for the forest’s combat strength and organization, leaving them confident that equal treatment would let them catch up.

• Xiao Tianyang told the Silver Dragon King and the others that Divine Might would not invest heavily in them unless they demonstrated potential and value.
• The Silver Dragon King and Di Tian cited the Star Dou Great Forest’s prominent Soul Beasts, but Xiao Tianyang judged their strength and potential insufficient compared with Divine Might’s forces.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that the Spirit Beast Legion and Sun Society had grown through abundant resources and bloodline purification, while the Star Dou Great Forest’s advantages were mostly environmental.
• The Silver Dragon King wondered whether Xiao Tianyang knew of other promising Soul Beasts, and he clarified that they should change their approach rather than search for newcomers.
• Xiao Tianyang told the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, and Bi Ji to prepare a rough framework for the Star Dou Great Forest’s combat strength and organization within two days.
• The Silver Dragon King and the others accepted the task and believed they could catch up if Divine Might treated them equally.

Xiao Tianyang reflected on the threats he had eliminated and spoke with Tang Wutong and Wang Qiu'er after their training. Tang Wutong asked whether he had any Spirit Fusion Pills, leaving their reason for wanting them unexplained.

• Xiao Tianyang concluded that the danger within Douluo Continent had been resolved and explained why he had acted quickly to secure the Star Dou Great Forest's cooperation.
• Tang Wutong and Wang Qiu'er visited Xiao Tianyang after training and discussed Wang Qiu'er's role in strengthening their team.
• Xiao Tianyang teased the girls about their request and urged them to say what they wanted.
• Tang Wutong asked Xiao Tianyang whether he had any Spirit Fusion Pills, and he explained how they helped Soul Masters integrate the energy within their bodies.

Xiao Tianyang explained the risks of high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills and agreed to give Tang Wutong one after she passed his training. After Tang Wutong left, he realized how many Twin Martial Soul users were among the children and wondered whether their group could perform numerous Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

• Tang Wutong asked Xiao Tianyang for a high-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, explaining that Madam Mingzhu had told her about it.
• Xiao Tianyang warned Tang Wutong that extreme compatibility would require greater control and that enduring two Martial Souls did not mean she could use them simultaneously.
• Tang Wutong persuaded Xiao Tianyang to give her the pill after she passed his training.
• After Tang Wutong left with her friend, Xiao Tianyang wondered who in the God Realm had inspired her request.
• Xiao Tianyang counted the Twin Martial Soul users among the eleven children and realized their group might have over a dozen Martial Soul Fusion Skills, so he decided to test whether they could perform them.

Tang Wutong told Wang Qiu'er about a plan to use high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills to help five pairs of Twin Martial Souls perform compatible Martial Soul Fusion Skills before the competition. The chapter left them considering their next steps after Xiao Tianyang agreed to help.

• Tang Wutong assured Wang Qiu'er that the ability she described was real and could greatly strengthen them before the competition.
• Xiao Tianyang's research and Saber's past Martial Soul Fusion Skill showed that highly compatible Twin Martial Souls could produce extraordinary power.
• Bei Bei and the others understood how strong their future competition opponents would be and aimed realistically for second or third place.
• Tang Wutong recalled Saber's Twin Martial Souls and proposed using five high-grade Spirit Fusion Pills to create five highly compatible Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
• Wang Qiu'er asked Tang Wutong whether they would follow their training plan step by step.

Wang Qiu'er and Tang Wutong planned to aim beyond the required passing standard, while the Silver Dragon King explained why the Star Dou Great Forest intended to adopt a legion structure. Xiao Tianyang questioned what the Silver Dragon King hoped to achieve, and she began describing the forest’s connection to the Divine Beast System.

• Wang Qiu'er suggested that Tang Wutong and the others aim for second place while ensuring they passed, and Tang Wutong agreed to seek ideas from Huo Yuhao.
