Su Qing refined a Tier 5 Inspiration Doll, using Tiger Egg’s tails to prepare Creation Talisman Water after learning that his own hair was insufficient. The newly created doll absorbed a wicked mixture of essences and White Lotus Tears, and the System Panel announced that it had mutated.

• Su Qing threatened to suspend Qing He and call in her loans, but her tears persuaded him to leave her job and credit intact after warning her.

As dead spirits gathered beyond the barrier, Su Qing prepared to force his elder brother to come by burning the life-saving incense he was owed.

• Tong Chang explained that Su Qing’s bad luck had passed and urged him to stop worrying, then began preparing the ritual with Li Hai Lang’s help.

Gao Erqiang resented the costs and burdens of being the Execution Heavenly God, but Su Qing used a Life-Saving Incense to summon him to Tong Chang’s Dragon Slaying Platform. After Su Qing promised abundant Merit and Fortune, a massive black-glowing object surged from the Place of No Breath, revealing that Erqiang had been drawn into a formidable dragon-slaying job.

• Gao Erqiang complained that the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce controlled much of the Execution Heavenly Kingdom’s wealth while his temples, personnel, publicity, and war preparations drained his funds.

Su Qing’s Mobile Force attacked the Qiu Niu Treasure Ship, rescued Brother 17 and Brother 260, and set a trap that drew an Ancient Dragon Soul to the ship. As the dead spirit Pirate Kings faced the dragon, a Heavenly Master’s command summoned the departed souls to confess their crimes and submit to the law.

• Su Qing spotted a cloud dragon approaching the Dragon Slaying Platform and secretly positioned Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and their forces without warning Tong Chang or Gao Erqiang.
• The cloud dragon struck at the platform, and Tong Chang covered Gao Erqiang with Dragon Luring Powder before defending himself with talismans.
• The powder enthralled the cloud dragon and made it target Gao Erqiang, who summoned his divine weapons and fought it with help from Tong Chang’s Red and White Pagoda.
• Gao Erqiang’s Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd cut through the cloud dragon’s defenses, wounding it and enraging Cloud Third.

• Su Qing showed Gao Erqiang a vast horde of Demonic Fiends and dead spirits approaching through a widening rift in the Place of No Breath’s barrier.
• Gao Erqiang realized the barrier had failed and that a demonic tide threatened the West Sea, then apologized to Su Qing and stopped contesting the Cloud Dragon’s spoils.
• Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and Su Qing’s puppet forces fought the creatures pouring from the Place of No Breath as Gao Erqiang recognized Su Qing’s importance in defending the West Sea.

Su Qing claimed the Cloud Dragon’s corpse after persuading Gao Erqiang that their battle’s Merit and Fortune outweighed the spoils, then turned his attention to the fighting at the Place of No Breath. As Tong Chang and Gao Erqiang executed captured Demonic Fiends on a summoned Demon Slaying Platform, Su Qing considered new ways to counter the remaining Evil Demons.

• Su Qing released the Xing Tian Blood Axe, which clashed in spirit with Gao Erqiang’s Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd before Gao suppressed his weapon.

• Phoenix Destruction, Nine Orifices, and the Wheel Chariot Demon sent their undead forces against Su Qing’s fleet rather than risk facing his axe directly.

A-San’s regiment broke into the enemy formation, while Su Qing watched the clash and learned that the Wheel Chariot Demon had granted its troops a powerful regiment skill.

• A-San’s thoughts deepened under the pressure of protecting Su Qing, and it awakened independent consciousness as a Creation-type Cavalry General Puppet.
• A-San tried to direct the Lizard Knights, and Su Qing appointed it Lizard General and gave it command of the regiment.

• Su Qing saw that the Wheel Chariot Demon had bestowed the Unstoppable regiment skill on its troops, while A-San’s Blood Qi Barrier helped the Lizard Knights withstand their charges.

After A San achieved Creation and developed self-awareness, Su Qing gained the Puppet Master divine ability Savage Growth and unlocked five Cavalry General Puppet Blueprints. He chose three Blueprints and learned that A San had become a Tier 3 Limit Creation-type Cavalry General, leaving his new cavalry plans in motion.

• A San's achievement of Creation granted Su Qing the Savage Growth divine ability, which let his Puppets repair and upgrade themselves within their current tier.
• Su Qing gained 3,000 Creation Rune Proficiency and unlocked five Cavalry General Puppet Blueprints because A San became his third self-aware Puppet.

• Su Qing inspected A San's updated attributes and found that A San had reached Tier 3 Limit, gained powerful individual and group skills, and could potentially grow as high as Tier 8.

Su Qing intervened when Wheel Chariot Demon attacked A San, used the Divine Pattern Mask and Black Water Divine Flag to assume divine offices, and challenged the demon himself. He defeated Wheel Chariot Demon with the Xing Tian Blood Axe, while Nine Orifices and Phoenix Destruction held back and watched the battle.

Su Qing slew the Wheel Chariot Demon and used the Treasure Forging Gourd to turn its Demonic Evil Origin into the War Lord Dao Pattern, which he chose to keep despite the cost. As Nine Orifices and Phoenix Destruction joined forces and sent their armies against his weakened treasure-ship fortress, Su Qing collected the Wheel Chariot Demon's spoils.

• Su Qing received a reward from the Heavenly Talisman Treasure Hall for killing the Wheel Chariot Demon and used the Treasure Forging Gourd to forge the War Lord Dao Pattern.

After collecting the Wheel Chariot Demon's spoils and fretting over his finances, he received word that Tiger Egg and Bear Two had arrived with their legions.

• Su Qing read the War Lord Dao Pattern's description and learned that only Nine Orifices and Phoenix Destruction remained among the escaped demons.
