Chapter Summaries

Lu Jing revealed that he had inherited the God of Destruction, while Wang Dong'er learned that her first Sea God trial required her to climb 333 steps. After the Sea God personally appeared before Bo Saixi, he told her to give Wang Dong'er some leniency in the trials.

• Bo Saixi recognized that Lu Jing had inherited a deity more powerful than the Sea God, and Lu Jing identified that deity as the God of Destruction.

• The Sea God instructed Bo Saixi to help Wang Dong'er and make her trials less difficult, leaving Bo Saixi stunned.

• Lu Jing asked Sea Dragon Douluo to relay Snow Empress’s challenge to Bo Saixi, and Sea Dragon eagerly rushed to inform the Great Enshrined.
• Bo Saixi accepted Snow Empress’s challenge, and the two flew to a remote beach as Lu Jing and Sea Dragon followed at a safe distance.

Snow Empress and Bo Saixi sparred on the beach, each unleashing increasingly powerful ice and sea abilities. Bo Saixi narrowly won by drawing on Sea God Power, while Snow Empress concluded that the result would have been different in the Far North.

Lu Jing warned Snow Empress that a soul beast reaching a million years would not ascend to the God Realm, using Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's fate to challenge her beliefs. Four years later, Wang Dong'er had reached rank eighty-seven and prepared to attempt the Sea God's Seventh Trial, drawing the Sea God Trident.

• Lu Jing argued that surviving successive heavenly tribulations would not lead Snow Empress to godhood and cited Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as evidence that the million-year ascension legend was false.

• Wang Dong'er prepared to attempt the Sea God's Seventh Trial, drawing the Sea God Trident, and Lu Jing and Snow Empress encouraged her.
• Wang Dong'er promised Lu Jing a special reward if she succeeded, then led him and Snow Empress toward Sea God Hall.

The Sea God learned that Lu Jing might inherit the God of Destruction’s divine seat alongside Wang Dong’er, while Lu Jing and the Goddess of Life may also be considering passing on their positions. The chapter then shifted to dawn, when Lu Jing woke with Wang Dong’er asleep in his arms and tried to move her without waking her.
