Han Li negotiated with Di Tian over a cultivation method that could offer Soul Beasts an alternative to hunting, securing Di Tian’s cooperation and a supply of Soul Bones. After returning to the hotel with Spirit Hall’s group, Han Li laid out plans for everyone to attempt God Exams and said he would travel with Grand Uncle-Master.

Han Li negotiated with Gu Yue and Di Tian over the Soul Beasts shifting their faith to him in exchange for concealment and help restoring Gu Yue. After Tian Meng appeared and revealed its new Ice Dragon bloodline and promised future as a Divine Beast, Gu Yue accepted a thirty-percent share and secured Han Li's promise of further aid before they descended to inspect his work.

• Han Li explained that his prepared space could block the God Realm's gaze, and Gu Yue agreed to cooperate by redirecting the Soul Beasts' faith to him until he became a god.
