• Bibi Dong used Spirit Hall’s channels to distribute Yu Xiaogang’s cultivation diagrams, and some people adopted them despite warnings that Spirit Hall would not take responsibility.
• Han Li let the method spread because he expected the resulting problems to generate Faith Power and worsen the conflict between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Xiaogang’s fame surged as cultivators embraced his method and began gathering allies, throwing the continent into turmoil while Han Li continued Dual Cultivation.

Han Li planned to advance alongside Gu Yue once she mastered Creation Power, while disasters caused by Yu Xiaogang’s Improved Cultivation Method began exposing the method’s dangers.

• Han Li investigated and found that the trial groups had been affected differently, with some rewards removed but their Law Power comprehension preserved; he suspected Asura had changed the trials to hasten their progress.

Han Li concluded that Asura was preparing to divide his God Position and authority, and he considered using the situation to his own advantage. Gu Yue explained that the God Kings were limited by their positions and that Asura might grow stronger by abandoning his; Han Li planned to wait until the last moment before accepting anything.

• Asura explained that Han Li had received Faith Power transferred from the Sea God’s inheritor and that his public cultivation method had spread across Douluo Star.
• Asura said Han Li might gather enough Faith Power for a God King God Position after the coming war, then revealed that this was not his only reason for summoning the committee.

Asura proposed passing his God Position to Han Li while distributing parts of its authority among three women close to him, claiming it would strengthen the God Realm and accommodate Douluo Star’s growing value. He admitted the arrangement was also a safeguard against Han Li potentially becoming a threat, and the other gods ultimately agreed.

• Asura told Evil, Goodness, Destruction, and Life that he wanted Han Li to inherit the Asura God Position and rise directly to God King level.
• Asura proposed making the three women who participated in the God Exam inheritors too, citing Han Li’s ability to control Asura divine power and Douluo Star’s unusual energy growth.
• Life and Goodness questioned Asura’s motives, and he admitted he was wary that Han Li might be connected to the Dragon God or become another Dragon God.
• Asura explained that dividing the God Position’s authority would limit Han Li’s power if he proved dangerous, and that the other gods could respond while authority was reclaimed.

• After considering Asura’s proposal, the gods agreed.
