Lin Xuan killed Tai Tan after Tai Tan discovered Xiao Wu’s Storage Soul Tool, then spent a year and a half traveling and growing stronger with Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan. Realizing Xiao Wu was saddened because he had delayed the promised trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Xuan decided to keep his promise.

• Lin Xuan shot Tai Tan through the head, and Lou Gao ordered Silong to conceal Tai Tan’s visit and continue preparing supplies for Lin Xuan.
• Lin Xuan explained Tai Tan’s identity to Xiao Wu, and she avoided Dugu Yan’s questions about Tang Hao.
• Lin Xuan and his companions left Gengjin City with a large supply of rare metals, and the Strength Clan was left vulnerable after Tai Tan’s death.
• Over the next year and a half, Lin Xuan reached level 24, Jin Lin became a Soul Grandmaster, and Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan also grew stronger as they traveled with him.
• Lin Xuan realized Xiao Wu was melancholy because he had not taken her to the Star Dou Great Forest after promising to do so when he turned twelve, and he resolved to fulfill the promise.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu decided to bring Dugu Yan to the Star Dou Great Forest and reveal Xiao Wu’s secret there. Meanwhile, Tang San reached level 30 and prepared to travel to the forest with Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to obtain a Soul Ring.

• Lin Xuan asked Xiao Wu whether they should bring Dugu Yan along or keep her secret from her, and Xiao Wu chose to bring her because she trusted Lin Xuan and needed someone to handle poison testing.
• Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu agreed to tell Dugu Yan the details after reaching the Star Dou Great Forest, then the three packed their luggage and set out in Lin Xuan’s upgraded carriage.
• At Shrek Academy, Tang San reached level 30 early using resources he had pressured Dai Mubai into giving him, while Dai Mubai remained at level 34.
• Tang San told himself he needed to ask Yu Xiaogang to help him evolve his Martial Soul into the Blue Silver Emperor before Lin Xuan could claim its place.
• Yu Xiaogang discussed taking Tang San to the Star Dou Great Forest for a Soul Ring, and Bibi Dong agreed that they would leave the next day.

Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan stopped at an inn outside the Star Dou Great Forest before entering the forest the next morning. Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Bibi Dong arrived in town, and Tang San followed a strange attraction into the same inn, where all three recognized Lin Xuan and his companions.

• Tang San felt drawn toward the inn and entered with Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang; all three stiffened when they saw Lin Xuan and the others.

Lin Xuan’s group encountered Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Yu Xiaogang at an inn, but Yu Xiaogang fled with the others rather than risk confronting Lin Xuan. The next morning, Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan entered the Star Dou Great Forest, where Lin Xuan soon detected Tang San’s group nearby.

• Xiao Wu recognized Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Yu Xiaogang and reacted with hostility, while Tang San moved to shield the others.

• Xiao Wu led Lin Xuan and Dugu Yan into the Star Dou Great Forest, where Lin Xuan used his domains to sense the surroundings.
• Lin Xuan detected Tang San’s group through his perception and heard their conversation through the Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San absorbed a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring while Yu Xiaogang planned his cultivation, but Lin Xuan decided Yu Xiaogang had outlived his usefulness. Lin Xuan shot Yu Xiaogang dead, leaving Bibi Dong unable to save him.

• Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San to a nineteen-hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, and Tang San killed it to absorb its Soul Ring.

• Lin Xuan fired a silenced bullet at Yu Xiaogang as Bibi Dong lunged to protect him.
• The bullet struck Yu Xiaogang's head before Bibi Dong could reach him, killing him and splattering her with blood.

After Lin Xuan killed Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong flew into a rage and searched for the attacker, unaware that Lin Xuan and his companions were hiding nearby. Lin Xuan blasted her with a level 7 Fixed Soul Tool Cannon, leaving her gravely injured, and Bibi Dong resolved to protect Tang San and become strong enough to take revenge.

• Yu Xiaogang's death sent Bibi Dong into a rage, and her burst of Soul Power interrupted Tang San's Soul Ring absorption and injured him.
• Bibi Dong searched the forest for Lin Xuan while Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan hid using Simulation.
• Lin Xuan told Xiao Wu he had killed Yu Xiaogang and decided to delay their escape so he could further weaken Bibi Dong.
• Lin Xuan fired a level 7 Fixed Soul Tool Cannon at Bibi Dong, destroying her Martial Soul Avatar and leaving her badly injured.
• Bibi Dong swore revenge, decided to survive until she could become a god, and headed to protect Tang San.

Lin Xuan found a roughly two-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider and took Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan to hunt it. Meanwhile, Tang San woke after three days and learned from Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang had died, then vowed to avenge him by killing Lin Xuan.

• Tang San called Bibi Dong Master's Wife and swore to avenge Yu Xiaogang by killing Lin Xuan.

Tang San secured Bibi Dong’s promise to train him and avenge Yu Xiaogang, though his Blue Silver Grass had only been purified rather than evolved. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Yan defeated a Man Faced Demon Spider, and Lin Xuan gave her its Eight Spider Lances along with a Secret Art Soul Bone to absorb.

• Tang San called Bibi Dong his Master’s Wife, kowtowed to her, and asked her to teach him so he could avenge Yu Xiaogang.

• Lin Xuan dissected the spider, found its Eight Spider Lances, and gave Dugu Yan both that External Soul Bone and a Secret Art Soul Bone to absorb.

Lin Xuan gave Dugu Yan a Secret Art Soul Bone and a Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone, then helped her successfully absorb both. After a day, Eight Spider Lances emerged from her back, and Lin Xuan used Blue Silver Grass to cover her ruined clothes.

• Lin Xuan explained External Soul Bones and Secret Art Soul Bones, then gave both Soul Bones to Dugu Yan because the poison attribute suited her.
• Dugu Yan accepted Lin Xuan's gift and began absorbing both Soul Bones with the Secret Art Soul Bone's help.
• Xiao Wu rested Lin Xuan's head on her lap and asked whether they should return after Dugu Yan finished absorbing the Soul Bones.

• After a day, Dugu Yan completed the absorption, and eight spider legs burst from her back, tearing her clothes.
• Lin Xuan covered Dugu Yan with Blue Silver Grass.

Lin Xuan and Dugu Yan accompanied Xiao Wu to the Lake of Life, where she reunited with Da Ming and introduced her friends. Lin Xuan calmly approached the Sky Azure Bull Python and touched his nose, leaving Da Ming stunned by the human’s lack of fear and imposing presence.

• Lin Xuan introduced himself to Da Ming and touched his nose, causing the Sky Azure Bull Python to recoil in surprise.

• A golden shooting star shot out of a whirlpool in the Lake of Life and descended toward Lin Xuan.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rushed toward Lin Xuan but greeted him with affectionate familiarity, leaving Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu stunned. Di Tian arrived, puzzled by Lin Xuan and the beast’s closeness, and asked to talk with him.

• Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu tried to protect Lin Xuan from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but an overwhelming pressure immobilized them.
• Lin Xuan stopped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s pounce with his hands, skidding backward before she rubbed her head against him affectionately.

• Di Tian arrived and Xiao Wu straightened up after Lin Xuan pulled her and Dugu Yan behind him with Blue Silver Grass.
• Di Tian examined Lin Xuan, wondered about his conflicting auras, and asked him to talk; Lin Xuan agreed.

Lin Xuan impersonated the Golden Dragon King before Di Tian, who believed him after sensing his pure Dragon Might and seeing the Golden Dragon Spear recognize him. Lin Xuan learned that Gu Yuena remained gravely injured and asleep, then promised he could help her recover in about a decade.

• Lin Xuan revealed his Golden Dragon bloodline and Dragon Might, and Di Tian knelt, believing he was the Golden Dragon King.

• Lin Xuan told Di Tian that Dragon Valley had appeared on another continent and ordered him to find its spatial node within two years.
• Di Tian offered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan refused and said only time could restore his power.

• Di Tian reached a hidden dragon den and found a thousand-meter giant dragon lying with its eyes closed.

Di Tian told the Silver Dragon King about Lin Xuan, and she concluded that he was the Golden Dragon King before sending Di Tian to follow his orders. Lin Xuan refused the ferocious beasts’ protection, and Di Tian left with Myriad Demon King to search for Dragon Valley.

• Di Tian reported Lin Xuan’s knowledge and the Golden Dragon Spear’s allegiance to the Silver Dragon King, who believed Lin Xuan was the Golden Dragon King.
• The Silver Dragon King approved Di Tian’s trip and fell asleep again because of her severe injuries.

• Lin Xuan refused their protection, explaining that powerful guards would complicate the trials tied to his Fortune as humanity’s Child of Destiny.
• Di Tian left his reverse scale with Lin Xuan and departed with Myriad Demon King to find Dragon Valley within two years.

Lin Xuan decided to leave the Lake of Life to avoid bringing a disaster upon the Star Dou Great Forest through his Human Luck. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to mix her Fortune with his to keep him there, but Lin Xuan stopped her and departed with his companions.

• Lin Xuan fought the Three-Eyed Golden Lion until Bi Ji healed them, and the Auspicious Beast cuddled up to him afterward.

• Lin Xuan and the women said goodbye to Da Ming and Er Ming and rode the Dragon Scale Horse away from the core region.
• After sensing a pursuer they could not shake, Lin Xuan stopped the group and prepared for its arrival.
• Qian Renxue descended in a hurry and urged them to flee because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was chasing her.
• Lin Xuan told Qian Renxue they could not escape and summoned the Golden Dragon Spear.

Lin Xuan used the Nine Dragon Crown to evolve his Blue Silver King into the Blue Silver Emperor and confronted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. He beat the beast to death with the Blue Silver Emperor’s vines, while the Golden Dragon Spear played only a limited role.

• Lin Xuan transformed his Blue Silver King into a Blue Silver Emperor by turning its Soul Ring into a hundred-thousand-year ring, then raised Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan out of the battlefield.

• Lin Xuan dismissed Qian Renxue after she offered to repay his help, and she flew off to check on She Long and Ci Xue.
• Lin Xuan used the Golden Dragon Spear to devour the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, raising his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring to the ten-thousand-year level.
