The chapter left Skywater Academy poised for a new beginning as a powerful, independent force.

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo worried about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s uncertain prospects as they entered Heaven Dou City.

Shen Hanyu realized that Rakshasa Divine Power hidden in the blood energy from Slaughter City had intensified the violent influence of the Asura Divine Power and briefly clouded his judgment. In the God Realm, the Asura God revealed that a strand of Fate Power bestowed on Tang San made him difficult to dispose of, leaving the Sea God stunned.

• The Sea God challenged the Asura God over his plans for Shen Hanyu, Tang San, Rakshasa, and the Angel God.
• The Asura God said he favored Shen Hanyu but could not simply have Tang San killed because he had given Tang San a strand of Fate Power obtained through the Creator God's lingering might.

Shen Hanyu explained to the girls why Tang San and Shrek Academy were tied to a struggle over fate, then spent seven days removing the Rakshasa Divine Power from himself. He planned to take the Ice God Trial with Snow Empress before pursuing the Asura God Trial, while the others awakened and enjoyed life in the human world.

Skywater Academy opened enrollment for new students and teachers, drawing crowds to its recruitment assessments. By dusk, more than five hundred students had passed and two Soul Kings had begun teacher training, while Shui Ningbing ordered the academy to focus on enrollment and security.

• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress left Skywater Academy for the Far North, and Xiao Bai joined them.
• Snow Empress returned to her palace in the Core Circle and reunited with Shen Hanyu.

• Shen Hanyu probed beneath the frozen earth with his Mental Power but could not determine what was there because the energy interfered with his senses and drew in surrounding energy.
• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress agreed to investigate the hidden source before it made the Core Circle barren.

Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress discovered a hidden space left behind by the Ice God beneath the frozen earth. There, the Ice God’s lost divine sword fused with Shen Hanyu’s inheritance bead and entered his Sea of Consciousness, still damaged and in need of restoration.

• The pair found an altar and recognized the familiar aura of the Ice God’s inheritance bead resonating with a blue light.
• The Snow Empress identified the chamber as a space left behind by the Ice God as its blue energy pillar pierced through the frozen earth.
• Shen Hanyu recognized the damaged sword on the altar as the Ice God’s lost divine artifact, or a weapon closely connected to the Ice God.
• The inheritance bead fused with the broken sword, and the sword entered Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness to absorb energy and heal its injuries.

Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness transformed into a stable Spiritual Inner World after the battered divine artifact and a vast supply of Life Aura fueled its evolution. He and the Snow Empress explored the new world, where she recognized the Ice God Sword, while Shen Hanyu considered how to obtain more Life Gold for Xiao Nian.

• Shen Hanyu drew the Ice God Sword and split the lake with a slash, then restored the water as the Snow Empress took the sword and identified it.

Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress released Little Phoenix, Ice God's former mount, from the Ice God Sword and learned about her past and strength. Little Phoenix explained Ice God's God Trial and offered Shen Hanyu a way to fuse the divine artifacts with his first Martial Soul, potentially turning it into a Super Divine Artifact.

• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress sensed a hidden presence in the Ice God Sword, and Shen Hanyu's energy freed Little Phoenix from within it.
• Little Phoenix told Shen Hanyu that Ice God had sealed her inside the sword before dying, and that she had been trapped there for ages.
• Snow Empress warned Little Phoenix to stop nuzzling Shen Hanyu, but Little Phoenix insisted that Shen Hanyu was her new Master and hid behind him.
• Little Phoenix revealed that she had once reached the strength of a Second-level God, though the Douluo Plane suppressed her to Limit Douluo level.
• Little Phoenix said she did not know whether Ice God was still alive and explained that Ice God's God Trial mattered less than the pearl's choice of Shen Hanyu.
• Little Phoenix suggested refining the Ice God Sword and pearl and fusing their origins with Shen Hanyu's first Martial Soul to transform it into a divine artifact, possibly even a Super Divine Artifact.

Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress completed their God Trial with help from Little Phoenix and the Ice God Sword while staying in the Far North. After more than half a year, Snow Empress prepared to leave for a time, and the chapter ended with an overtime notice about attempting to cure a strange condition.

After completing the first seven God Trials, Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress learned that the eighth required repairing the Ice God Sword and returned to Element City to seek help and reunite with the girls. They discussed Shen Liuyu’s future Soul Ring and arranged support for You Mengchu’s family, then left the girls stunned by offering them Soul Bones.

• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress decided to leave the Far North and consider asking the Silver Dragon King to help repair the Ice God Sword for the eighth God Trial.

• Shen Hanyu praised the girls’ cultivation and promised them Soul Bones, then produced a large pile of them from his Soul Tool.

Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress offered their trove of Soul Bones to the women of Skywater Academy, while You Mengchu brought her disciple Xue Ke to claim a share. Xue Ke chose a modest Soul Bone and left with You Mengchu’s reassurance to become less timid.

• Shen Hanyu revealed a mountain of high-quality Soul Bones, and Snow Empress invited everyone to choose one.
• You Mengchu hurriedly brought Xue Ke to the pavilion, where Shen Hanyu gave You Mengchu a sixty-three-thousand-year Wind Mò Xuě Xiāo Right Arm Bone.
• Shen Hanyu used Soul Power to guide the anxious Xue Ke into the group, and Shui Bing'er welcomed her to choose a Soul Bone.
• The girls selected Soul Bones and went to absorb them, while Xue Ke chose a thirteen-thousand-year Ice Snow Swan Right Arm Bone.
• You Mengchu comforted Xue Ke, told her to keep the Soul Bone and stop treating herself like an outsider, then summoned her to her room for training.

Shen Hanyu gave Shen Liuyu and the Shui sisters powerful Soul Bones, prompting affectionate reactions and jealousy from the Snow Empress. The next morning, Shen Liuyu teased Shen Hanyu about Shui Bing'er becoming his second sister-in-law and was frozen by the Snow Empress, left unable to eat breakfast.

• The Snow Empress froze Shen Liuyu in a block of ice and carried her to breakfast, leaving her to watch everyone eat.
