After lifting the Federation network block, An Ping planned to recruit influential military leaders and the Spirit Pagoda into his coalition to prepare for the returning God Realm. The group discussed potential allies, including commanders of several legions and Ling Hongchen, and left plans to contact them in motion.

• An Ping asked Yue Zhengen whether Guo Zhenfeng and Yin Moshang had contacted him, then asked him to try to recruit them to their cause.
• An Ping learned that Qian Gu Dongfeng had requested a meeting with him and Nana, and agreed to meet on a time and place they chose.
• Yun Ming questioned An Ping’s intentions, and An Ping explained that he wanted to consolidate usable Federation forces against future threats rather than split the Federation.
• An Ping invited Yun Ming and Ya Li to contact other potential allies, while Yue Zhengyu asked why the North Sea Fleet had been left out.
• Yue Zhengen explained that the North Sea Fleet was controlled by the Chen Family and closely tied to Sun Moon Academy, so An Ping would need to persuade Ling Hongchen.
• Yun Ming said Ling Hongchen could influence the Chen Family and many other Mingdu families, and An Ping welcomed the prospect.

An Ping rejected establishing a Spirit Pagoda in Miracle City and revealed his plan to create Soul Rings and Soul Bones artificially. Meanwhile, Tang San gathered the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and allied families to discuss Yun Ming and Ya Li joining the Soul Beasts.

• Leng Yaozhu asked An Ping when he would establish a Spirit Pagoda in Miracle City, and he said he had no plans to do so.

• Tang San told the assembled leaders that Yun Ming and Ya Li had decided to join the Soul Beasts' side and asked for their opinions.

Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect discussed how to respond after Yun Ming, Ya Li, and the Southern Legion joined An Ping and Gu Yuena’s Miracle City. Tang San’s Divine Sense urged them to recruit other legions, while the Spirit Pagoda remained an uncertain threat; he could not provide a token from the Spirit Ice Douluo because Yuhao had more important duties in the God Realm.

• Cai Yue'er defended Yun Ming, but Tai Tan pointed out that Yun Ming and Ya Li had confirmed they voluntarily joined Miracle City.
• Long Yeyue and Tang San's Divine Sense treated Yun Ming and Ya Li as enemies and urged the group to plan against the growing Soul Beast alliance.
• Zang Xin proposed recruiting other legions before the Soul Beasts could, and Tang San's Divine Sense allowed him to reveal the Sea God's existence if needed.
• Cai Yue'er warned that the Spirit Pagoda might join An Ping and Gu Yuena, while Zhuo Shi suggested guarding against it instead of assuming it would ally with the Soul Beasts.
• Yuanen Zhentian asked Tang San's Divine Sense for a token from the Spirit Ice Douluo, but Tang San's Divine Sense said Yuhao could not provide one because he had important matters in the God Realm.

Tang San's Divine Sense approved a plan for the Yuan En Family and Clear Sky Sect elders to infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda and steal its Spirit Soul and Spirit Ascension technologies. Cai Yue'er proposed having Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er scout the Pagoda before the Federation Grand Competition, but Long Yeyue revealed that Shrek Academy had agreed not to participate.

• Yuanen Zhentian suggested secretly infiltrating the Spirit Pagoda, and Tang San's Divine Sense assigned the operation to Tai Tan, Niu Tian, Yuanen Zhentian, and Yuanen Tiandang.

The leaders began discussing a detailed plan while keeping the Abyss in mind.

• Tang San's Divine Sense argued that the Federation Grand Competition could help Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi rebuild their confidence after losing to Sun Moon Academy and Monster Academy, and Cai Yue'er agreed to arrange their participation.

• Cai Yue'er considered how Miracle City could gather powerful fighters, including Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan, and Tai Tan proposed luring its leaders out to kill them.
• Niu Tian warned Tai Tan that An Ping and Gu Yuena would not be easy to deceive, and Tang San's Divine Sense decided to support Zang Xin and Yuanen Zhentian's approach because conflict could give the Abyss an opening.
• Tang San's Divine Sense returned to Tang Wulin's body, and the remaining leaders began discussing the detailed plan.

• An Ping and Gu Yuena teleported to Sun Moon Academy, where Ling Hongchen welcomed them and asked why they had come.

• An Ping reassured Ling Hongchen that Saint Spirit Douluo had signed a Contract and would not return to supporting Tang San.
• Ling Hongchen asked how An Ping would control the many factions joining Miracle City, and An Ping said he would reform its systems and redirect conflicts toward the God Realm and the wider universe.

• Ling Hongchen learned that Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong was Tang San's daughter.

An Ping explained to Ling Hongchen why he believed Tang San and the God Realm controlled who could attain Godhood, and argued that Miracle City needed time to build strength before the God Realm returned.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng contacted Leng Yaozhu as Spirit Pagoda visitors dwindled, then traveled with Qiangu Zhangting to meet An Ping and Gu Yuena in Skysea City.

An Ping and Gu Yuena told Qian Gu Dongfeng that their recent actions were for self-preservation and rejected his offer to establish a Spirit Pagoda branch in Miracle City. An Ping revealed Miracle City had Artificial Soul Ring and Artificial Soul Bone technology and proposed that the Qian Gu Family bring the Spirit Pagoda’s researchers there, leaving Qian Gu Dongfeng to consider the offer.

As Qian Gu Dongfeng left with Qiangu Zhangting, he warned his grandson that Miracle City’s leaders were not people the family could afford to offend.

• An Ping agreed to Leng Yaozhu’s proposal and showed Qian Gu Dongfeng the districts and available areas in Miracle City.
• Qian Gu Dongfeng chose one area near the Leng Family for the Qian Gu Family and another near the Soul Master Research Institute for Spirit Pagoda personnel.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng reprimanded Qiangu Zhangting for dismissing An Ping and Gu Yuena, warning him that the times had changed and the family could not afford to offend them.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng persuaded Qiangu Zhangting that Miracle City valued the Qian Gu Family more than the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy did.
• Gu Yuena questioned why An Ping wanted the Qian Gu Family, since Miracle City could replace spirit souls with artificial soul rings and soul bones.
• An Ping told Gu Yuena that the Qian Gu Family and Spirit Pagoda would help Miracle City's development, its conflict with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and its future exploration beyond their world.

• Qian Gu Dieting refused to reveal more and suggested that the Demon Empress seek answers from Miracle City.

The Demon Empress asked Qian Gu Dieting to arrange a meeting with Di Tian, whom she believed controlled Miracle City. An Ping and Gu Yuena discussed whether to meet her and decided to seek Yun Ming and Ya Li’s advice, but Ya Li was away and Yun Ming was busy with work.

• The Demon Empress learned that Qian Gu Dongfeng had met An Ping and Gu Yuena in Skysea City, while Xiong Jun and Bi Ji had also appeared and Di Tian had not.
• The Demon Empress asked Qian Gu Dieting to contact Di Tian and agreed to stay with the Qian Gu Family while she waited.
• Qian Gu Dieting asked Qian Gu Dongfeng to contact Miracle City, and An Ping received the request to arrange a meeting with the Demon Empress.
• An Ping told Gu Yuena that the Demon Empress wanted to see Di Tian, and Gu Yuena said they should meet her and consult Yun Ming and Ya Li about whether she could join Miracle City.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena went to Yun Ming and Ya Li’s residence, where they found Ya Li absent and Yun Ming occupied with work.

An Ping and Gu Yuena sought Yun Ming’s opinion on whether to let the Holy Spirit Cult join Miracle City if its members could be reformed and kept from harming others. After reaching a tentative agreement, they went to check on Di Tian, who had emerged from seclusion after breaking through.

• An Ping told Yun Ming that the Demon Empress had approached them about the Holy Spirit Cult and asked whether the cult might join Miracle City.
• Yun Ming initially rejected the idea, but An Ping argued that Shrek Academy’s treatment of Evil Soul Masters had contributed to their corruption and said he could transform their evil Martial Souls.
• Yun Ming agreed in principle if the cult could stop harming people, while warning that admitting them publicly would provoke prejudice and unrest.
• An Ping decided that Miracle City would accept the Holy Spirit Cult only if it followed the rules, then continued discussing cultivation with Yun Ming and Gu Yuena.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena traveled to the Dragon Valley Plane to see Di Tian, who had completed his breakthrough and greeted them.

After breaking through to God Tier, Di Tian learned that he would face no heavenly tribulation and was asked to approach the Demon Empress about the Holy Spirit Cult joining Miracle City.

• Di Tian asked Gu Yuena and An Ping why no heavenly tribulation had followed his breakthrough, and An Ping explained that he was beyond the tribulations’ reach.
• Di Tian offered to replace Xiong Jun and Bi Ji, but An Ping said they should wait for the Soul Beast cultivation method he and Gu Yuena were developing.

• Di Tian agreed to go with An Ping and Gu Yuena when they relocated the Qian Gu Family, where the Demon Empress was staying.
• Yue Zhengen, Leng Yaozhu, Yun Ming, Ya Li, and others visited Di Tian; some asked about the Method of Becoming a God, while the Limit Douluo challenged him to gauge the gap to God Tier.

Di Tian defeated Yue Zhengen, Leng Yaozhu, Yun Ming, and Ya Li in a public match, proving to Miracle City’s residents and watching factions that he had reached godhood. As news spread, the Demon Empress questioned Qian Gu Dieting about the god he had mentioned, and he gave an ambiguous answer about Tang San.

• Di Tian easily defeated Yue Zhengen, Leng Yaozhu, Yun Ming, and Ya Li in a match broadcast across Miracle City.
• The watching families and residents accepted that Di Tian had become a god, while Yun Ming and the others recognized the gap between themselves and the God Tier.
• News of Di Tian’s victory reached Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Holy Spirit Cult, prompting the Qian Gu Family to celebrate and Tang San’s allies to worry.
• The Demon Empress asked Qian Gu Dieting whether Di Tian was the god he had mentioned, and Qian Gu Dieting said he had only just learned of Di Tian’s ascension.
• The Demon Empress guessed that Qian Gu Dieting meant Sea God Tang San, and he replied that her guess was both right and wrong.

The Demon Empress learned from Qian Gu Dieting about Tang San’s divine contingencies and considered joining Miracle City the best option for the Holy Spirit Cult. As the Qian Gu Family finished preparing to migrate, An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Di Tian arrived at its base to oversee the move.

• Qian Gu Dieting told the Demon Empress that four God Tier beings connected to Tang San might be behind the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and that Tang Wulin was Tang San’s son and the era’s Son of Destiny.
• The Demon Empress rejected the idea of allying with the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy and weighed hiding or joining Miracle City, favoring the latter because of Di Tian’s hatred of Tang San.
• As the year neared its end, the Qian Gu Family completed its migration preparations, and Qian Gu Dongfeng contacted Miracle City.
• An Ping brought Gu Yuena and Di Tian to the Qian Gu Family’s base without concealing their arrival.
• Qian Gu Dieting, Qian Gu Dongfeng, and Qian Gu Qingfeng cautiously greeted the visitors, then relaxed when they recognized them and were struck by Di Tian’s dangerous presence.
