As Xie Yue neared completion, a hundred-thousand-year Purple Wing Spider Emperor attacked, and Bibi Dong prepared to claim it for her Rakshasa trial.

• Bibi Dong’s clone bound the Purple Wing Spider Emperor with webs, and both Bibi Dong and her clone used Blood Sucking Spider Thorns to pierce him and drain his energy.

Xie Yue reported that his Third Soul Skill, Void Leap, let him teleport and control delayed Space Cutting, while Bibi Dong planned for him and Hu Bai to challenge academy candidates for the Purple Record Medal. Hu Bai considered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s possible sacrifice and resolved to honor his promise of helping Tian Meng reach immortality while keeping him out of his sea of consciousness.

• Xie Yue told Bibi Dong that his Soul Power had reached Level 34 and that Void Leap allowed three stored teleports within a hundred meters.
• Xie Yue demonstrated that he could suppress or delay Void Leap’s Space Cutting for up to five seconds, and Bibi Dong praised the quality of his Soul Ring.
• Bibi Dong told Xie Yue and Hu Bai to challenge candidates for the Purple Record Medal after they returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, prompting Hu Liena to question whether Hu Bai was ready.
• Hu Bai considered whether Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s sacrifice could let him obtain a Third Soul Ring early and reflected on how voluntary sacrifices had worked for Tang San and Huo Yuhao.
• Hu Bai decided he would keep his promise to help Tian Meng reach immortality but would not allow him to remain in his sea of consciousness.

Hu Bai negotiated with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm over where Tian Meng would reside, offering him a path to survive and promising to become a god. Tian Meng agreed to enter the Soul Bone but made conditions about waking him and traveling to the Extreme North Land.

• Hu Bai proposed sealing Tian Meng inside a Soul Bone and Soul Ring instead of letting him live in Hu Bai's sea of consciousness.
• Hu Bai promised he would become a Titled Douluo within twenty years and a god within a hundred, convincing Tian Meng that Hu Bai's destiny made him a worthwhile bet.

• Tian Meng agreed to enter the Soul Bone, while keeping his seal and life essence in Hu Bai's sea of consciousness to strengthen Hu Bai's Soul Rings.
• Tian Meng required Hu Bai to awaken him whenever Hu Bai obtained a Soul Ring and to visit the Extreme North Land when seeking a suitable Soul Beast for a second ice-attribute martial soul.

Hu Bai agreed to let Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reside in his sea of consciousness and began absorbing the million-year soul beast as his Third Soul Ring. As the process started, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Qian Daoliu about the powerful Fierce Beasts near the Lake of Life, and Hu Bai’s level rose toward 30.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into energy and entered Hu Bai’s sea of consciousness, flooding it with the power of his million-year cultivation.
• Hu Bai began absorbing the energy, and his level climbed from 26 toward the level 30 threshold.

Hu Bai received a sealed ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and a million-year Head Soul Bone from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, along with eight skills suited to his spiritual and ice abilities. Sky Dream entered the Soul Bone to recover, and Qian Daoliu sealed it so Sky Dream could not observe the outside world without Hu Bai’s permission.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm set Hu Bai’s Soul Ring to an effective age of ten thousand years and explained that its power and the Soul Bone’s power would gradually unseal as Hu Bai grew stronger.
• Qian Daoliu and the others saw the platinum-colored Soul Ring and skull bone emerge, and Qian Daoliu pointed out the ring’s ten patterns.
• Sky Dream explained that the Soul Bone would steadily supply energy and help offset the slowdown in Hu Bai’s cultivation caused by his Ultimate Attributes.
• Sky Dream listed the Soul Ring skills as Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Spiritual Interference, and Spiritual Simulation, and the Head Soul Bone skills as Spiritual Amplification, Spiritual Shield, Extreme Cold Amplification, and Eternal Frost Pupil.
• Sky Dream entered the Soul Bone to recover, and Qian Daoliu sealed it so Sky Dream could contact Hu Bai but could not see outside without his consent.
• Qian Daoliu finished the seal and asked Hu Bai what he had gained.

After Hu Bai and his companions prepared to leave Rift Canyon, the Seven Great Element Gods sensed his unusual elemental powers and gathered to discuss him as a possible inheritance candidate. They ended with the gods arguing over who had the strongest claim to Hu Bai.

• Bibi Dong broke through to level 97, while Dugu Bo reached level 94 and Dugu Yan's Martial Soul showed signs of evolving.

Their seven-colored power descended on him at Martial Soul Hall, leaving Bibi Dong and the worshippers stunned as the Rakshasa God explained the inheritance.

• The Dark God persuaded the other six Elemental Main Gods to combine their God Positions for Hu Bai, and the Fire God agreed to the plan.

• Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the other worshippers arrived and recognized the radiance around Hu Bai as a deity inheritance.

Hu Bai accepted the Seven Great Element Gods’ merged inheritance, choosing a path with the potential to reach the God King realm. He received his first trial and told Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and the others that he would become a God if he completed all nine trials.

• The Seven Great Element Gods offered Hu Bai a choice between inheriting one God Position or merging all seven, and he chose the more difficult combined inheritance.
• Hu Bai received the first trial: he had to comprehend seven Element Hearts and independently kill an over-ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast of each corresponding attribute; he already possessed the Fire and Ice Element Hearts.
• The inheritance ended, and a seven-colored mark appeared on Hu Bai’s forehead as he descended to Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and the others.
• Hu Bai explained that the merged Divine Seat could potentially reach the God King realm, and Qian Daoliu explained the God Realm’s ranks to those present.
• Qian Renxue praised Hu Bai and wondered whether she might receive a Deity inheritance, while Qian Daoliu decided not to reveal that the Angel God had already chosen her.

Hu Bai learned that he had received a difficult god trial and was named Spirit Hall’s Saint Son and heir to the next Pope, with his public inauguration planned for when he reached level forty. As Bibi Dong discussed his coming training, she warned him that scattered Clear Sky Sect members posed the greatest danger.

• Yan mistook Hu Bai for an unfamiliar man beside Hu Liena, and Hu Liena clarified that he was her twin brother and told Yan not to call her Nana.
• Hu Bai told the Special Class students he had come to gain experience and challenge them, and Teacher Zhou welcomed him as the Pope’s First Disciple and the Academy’s most talented student.

• Hu Bai joked that Teacher Zhou’s reward was meant to motivate the students and pressure him, while Hu Liena laughed at his predicament.
• Teacher Zhou offered eight-thousand- or five-thousand-year Whale Rubber for defeating Xie Yue or Hu Liena, and Hu Bai teased Hu Liena after she had laughed at him.
• Yan offered to protect Hu Liena, but she rejected his offer and declared she would fight for herself.

Hu Liena challenged Yan to a duel, promising to consider dating him if he won and insisting they remain ordinary friends if he lost. At the Battle Soul Platform, both revealed they were Level 26 Soul Grandmasters, and Yan was stunned to learn Hu Liena matched his level.

Hu Liena defeated Yan in a spar by controlling him with her Fox Charm, while Tuoba Shengjie and other Special Class students judged that Yan had little defense against her spiritual attacks. Yan accepted his loss and vowed to train until he could beat her, leaving Hu Liena frustrated as Hu Bai and Xie Yue decided to let their rivalry play out.

• Tuoba Shengjie predicted that Yan would lose to Hu Liena, and several Special Class students agreed that Yan could be controlled before using a soul skill.

• Hu Bai and Xie Yue exchanged glances and decided to let Yan's determination to win motivate him to cultivate.

Hu Liena defeated Du Peilin, a Level 35 Black Panther Soul Elder, by calmly stopping her close-range attack with Spiritual Control. After the match, no other students challenged her, and the class realized her Spiritual Power could affect mid-stage Soul Elders.

• After Hu Liena's Mental Control discouraged challengers, Zhou Tai provoked the Special Class into fighting.
• Du Peilin challenged Hu Liena, planning to use her Black Panther's speed to bypass Hu Liena's control.

• Du Peilin reached Hu Liena and swung her claw, but Hu Liena stayed calm, seized her chin, and controlled her through eye contact.
• Hu Liena won the match, and no one else stepped forward to challenge her.
