After Dan Hong survived its sacrifice in an unexpectedly lively form, Nan Li’s group prepared to return to Sun Island while Dugu Bo considered joining the Four Elements Academy. Meanwhile, Dong Yun confronted Qian Renxue over the deaths of three Spirit Hall Titled Douluo, and the two continued their wary alliance as Qian Renxue weighed whether to keep Dong Yun and Nan Li alive.

• Red Cloud excitedly showed Nan Li that he had grown, but Nan Li teased him about still being short.
• Red Cloud handed Nan Li a string of his scales, hoping she would praise the gift.
• Nan Li recognized the Heart-Protecting Scale and Inverse Scales, and she and Dong Yun worried that Red Cloud had removed them himself.

• Nan Li worried that Di Yan was risking his life by attempting to break through so soon after recovering from his injuries.
• Dong Yun said Di Yan’s long sleep and Dan Hong’s Snow Silkworm might help him survive the tribulation.
• Lan Xi explained that Di Yan wanted to test whether Soul Beasts could truly not Become Gods.
• Di Yan stirred the sea, gathered icy-blue radiance around his body, and leaped into the air as lightning erupted overhead.

Chief Nan Xi and Chief Dong Yang chose to sacrifice themselves to open the God Trial and sustain the Fusang Divine Tree, which was failing as magma churned beneath Heaven Mountain. They left Dong Yun and Nan Li behind to protect Sun Island, while Di Yan promised to care for Dong Yun.

• Di Yan questioned why Nan Xi and Dong Yang would sacrifice themselves after Yin girl had obtained the Asura inheritance, and Dong Yun knelt to plead with her chief.
• Nan Li tried to reach Nan Xi, but Nan Xing blocked her; Qing Ya likewise restrained Dong Yun on Dong Yang’s orders.
• Dong Yang explained that Soul Beasts could not become gods by following the Path and that the sacrifice would open the God Trial and preserve the failing Fusang Divine Tree.

• Dong Yang told Dong Yun to protect Sun Island, the two clans, and herself, and Dong Yun answered, “Rest assured.”

Clan Chief Nan Xi told Nan Li that she had to challenge the God Trial tied to the Source of Life within the Fusang Divine Tree, though she concealed that the trial was also the only way to give Nan Li a chance to survive. After two Soul Beasts sacrificed themselves and the Fusang Tree awakened, the Goddess of Life appeared before Ling Guang and declared Nan Li a potential successor if she passed her trial.

After Dong Yang and another clan chief died, Nan Li and Dong Yun met Fu Guang, the newly awakened spirit of the Fusang Tree, who announced that she would begin Nan Li’s God Trial. Beyond the plane, Ling Guang challenged the Goddess of Life over the barrier that had blocked his interference.
