The Starry Sky Auction began with the revelation that its first item was Angel God Blood formed from Qian Renxue’s divine origin, drawing Ye Guyi’s intense interest. The bidding opened as powerful Light-attribute Soul Masters weighed the blood’s limited origin power against its potential benefits.

• Ling Yun explained that the Wheel of Destiny Blind Box could contain randomly generated Soul Rings or Soul Bones, from ten-year treasures to the legendary million-year level.
• Ling Yun revealed that its contents could be absorbed without meeting the usual requirements or suffering energy backlash, causing the auction crowd to grow excited.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and Electrolux urged Huo Yuhao to try the blind box because his fate and luck were unusual.
• Huo Yuhao worried that he could not afford to compete with the major powers, and Wang Dong'er offered to bid for him with her money.
• Huo Yuhao accepted Wang Dong'er's offer and resolved to compete for the Wheel of Destiny Blind Box.

Huo Yuhao competed against powerful factions for the Wheel of Destiny Blind Box, ultimately winning it with help from Ma Xiaotao and Wang Dong'er. He opened the box at the auction, where its light began cycling through Soul Ring colors, leaving the result unresolved.

The auction continued with an ancient gray book that Electrolux recognized as carrying a faint aura related to the necromantic magic of his homeland.

• After about half an hour, Huo Yuhao completed the absorption and gained a blood-red fourth Soul Ring with two Soul Skills.
• Zhongli Wu ordered his elders to find a chance to kill Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen warned Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen about him, and Du Busi considered recruiting him for the Body Sect.
• Ling Yun presented an ancient gray book as the next auction item, and Electrolux said its faint aura shared an origin with the necromantic magic of his homeland but seemed more ancient and profound.

Huo Yuhao and the others suspected the Book of Contracts was connected to Electrolux’s homeland as Ling Yun revealed its powers at the auction. The Soul Beast Clan and Holy Spirit Cult both set their sights on acquiring it.

• Electrolux sensed that the Book of Contracts shared an aura with the Ancient Contract Forbidden Art and said the Starry Sky Auction House might have contacted his homeland’s world.
• Ling Yun explained that the book could form willing, equal contracts with up to ten living beings and summon contracted Soul Beasts to fight.
• Ling Yun revealed that a contracted being could recover from injuries or be reborn after death as long as the book remained intact, shocking the auction audience.
• Gu Yuena and Di Tian decided the Soul Beast Clan had to secure the book to prevent humans from exploiting Soul Beasts.
• Ling Yun explained that the book could also contract willing human souls who had died within the past two hours, letting them assist the contractor and endure indefinitely.
• Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult elders coveted the book, imagining an undying army of souls.

She ended by claiming that its nine peak Ninth-Level units could combine into a Tenth-Level Soul Tool powerful enough to slay gods.

• Ling Yun announced that the fifth lot was a Spatial Teleportation Soul Tool Array blueprint, shocking the auction hall.
• Jing Hongchen urged Xu Tianran to obtain the blueprint, arguing that its strategic teleportation capabilities could transform warfare and complement the empire’s Humanoid Soul Tool.
• Xu Tianran weighed the blueprint against the empire’s Tenth-Level Humanoid Soul Tool project and its need to preserve funds for a possible chance to become a god.
• Qian Duoduo considered bidding, but Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi persuaded him that Shrek could neither afford nor safely use the blueprint, so he gave up.
• Ling Yun explained that the complete array contained nine peak Ninth-Level Soul Tool units that could combine into a Tenth-Level Soul Tool capable of slaying gods.

Ling Yun revealed that the God-Slaying Array could launch spatial attacks across the Douluo Continent, then auctioned its blueprint. The Sun Moon Empire won it for 6.8 billion Gold Soul Coins, while Shrek Academy feared the weapon’s consequences and hoped to develop a God-tier expert of its own.

• Ling Yun explained that the Spatial Teleportation Soul Tool Array could strike targets across half the continent under a Limit Douluo and potentially cover the whole continent when powered by a god.
• Zhongli Wu decided the Holy Spirit Cult should let the Sun Moon Empire develop the array before trying to seize it by force.
• Ling Yun named the Tenth-Level Soul Tool blueprint the God-Slaying Array and opened bidding at 100 million Gold Soul Coins.
• Jing Hongchen urged Xu Tianran to prioritize the empire’s strategic ambitions, and Xu Tianran raised the Sun Moon Empire’s bid to 6.8 billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Ling Yun sold the blueprint to the Sun Moon Empire, leaving Shrek Academy’s Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi worried about the threat and the need to produce a God-tier expert.

After receiving a system mission to overturn the Douluo Continent’s fate within three months, Jiang Li decided to usher in an early Age of Gods. He ordered Ling Yun to reveal the auction’s remaining finale items, which she announced were tied to the secret of becoming gods.

• Jiang Li learned that the system required him to change the continent’s trajectory within three months and judged that only widespread God-level power could create a sufficiently new future.
• Jiang Li told Ling Yun to replace the upcoming lots with the finale items connected to opportunities to become gods.
• Ling Yun announced that the auction’s remaining finale items were tied to the secret of becoming gods, shocking the crowd.
• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe recognized the godhood opportunities as the Sea God Pavilion’s goal, but grew uneasy about the Starry Sky Auction House’s motives.
• Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao reacted with greed and suspicion to the promise of multiple chances to become gods.

Ling Yun introduced Cosmic Divine Liquid, a drop of energy from beyond known planes that could help Rank Ninety-Nine experts ascend to godhood at the risk of death. The continent's major factions launched a fierce bidding war, while Jiang Li hinted that forces beyond Douluo Continent were also at play.

• Xu Tianran ordered the Sun Moon Empire to mobilize its resources after regretting its costly purchase of the God-Slaying Array blueprint, and Jing Hongchen urged him to prioritize Deity Power.
• Titan and Niu Tian decided to inform Tang San and make the Clear Sky Sect compete for a chance at godhood.
• Gu Yuena judged that the auction might answer an approaching crisis and resolved that the Soul Beast Clan would fight for a suitable path to godhood.
• Ling Yun presented Cosmic Divine Liquid and explained that it could elevate a mortal's life origin, but failed absorption would destroy the user.
• The Heaven Dou Empire, Body Sect, Holy Spirit Cult, and Sun Moon Empire drove the bidding past five billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Jiang Li watched the bidding from a concealed room and remarked that pressure and variables from beyond Douluo Continent were also involved.

Jiang Li tore open a temporary passage between the Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane to force the planes toward an early collision. The Five God Kings attacked him, and he raised his Nine Heavens Realm to meet their strike.

• Jiang Li, newly ascended to God King, opened a temporary rift in the planar barrier to the Abyss Plane.
• Abyssal energy poured through the rift, which Jiang Li said would last one month before collapsing and leaving the planes poised to connect.
• Tang San and the other four God Kings arrived and confronted Jiang Li over the threat to the Douluo Continent and the God Realm.
• The Five God Kings combined their powers into a Divine Punishment Judgment attack aimed at Jiang Li and the rift.
• Jiang Li manifested his nine-colored lotus and used his Eighth Soul Skill, Nine Heavens Realm, to form a shield against the incoming attack.

Jiang Li effortlessly repelled the Five God Kings’ attack and damaged the God Realm, while the Abyssal Sage King discovered the sealed passage and prepared to invade within a month. At the auction, Shrek Academy won the Cosmic Divine Liquid for nine billion Gold Soul Coins as Jiang Li’s plans advanced toward an approaching conflict.

• Jiang Li’s nine-colored shield absorbed the Five God Kings’ Divine Punishment Judgment and reflected it back, scattering their defenses and devastating part of the God Realm.
• Jiang Li told the Five God Kings they could not stop the future, then left them at the Abyss Rift.

• Zhongli Wu vowed that Mu En must not become a god, while Ling Yun continued the auction with the seventh item.
• Jiang Li returned to the Auction Pavilion’s top floor and watched as the storm he had set in motion approached.

Ling Yun revealed that the white orb was the Heart of Illusions, left by the God of Illusions, and that its trial could offer a path to godhood. The unpredictable trial made several factions hesitate, and Ling Yun warned that failure carried serious risks.

• Ling Yun presented the Heart of Illusions and identified it as a treasure left by a God King-level powerhouse, the God of Illusions.
• Ling Yun explained that entrants who passed the heart-born, unpredictable trial could receive a reward that might help a Limit Douluo ascend to godhood.
• Du Busi asked how the trial worked, and Ling Yun said it could test anyone’s will, desires, fears, or regrets in a unique illusion.
• Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao worried that their dark pasts made the trial especially dangerous, while Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen chose to wait.
• Xuan Zi and Mu En doubted their chances and noted that Shrek Academy lacked the funds to compete after buying the Cosmic Divine Liquid.
• Ling Yun warned that the trial offered both opportunity and risk, then began to explain what would happen to those who failed.

Ling Yun auctioned the Heart of Illusions of the God of Illusions, which Du Busi won for the Body Sect despite the risk of being trapped in an illusion forever. She then introduced a God-Given Soul Ring formed from pure divine-origin power, capable of reaching one million years and greatly strengthening its absorber.

• Ling Yun warned bidders that failing to overcome the Heart of Illusions could trap their consciousness in an illusion until it was annihilated, causing most interested Soul Masters to withdraw.
• Xu Jiawei, the Heaven Dou Empire representative, a secluded sect elder, Du Busi, Ning Qitian, and Zhongli Wu bid for the Heart of Illusions.
• Du Busi won the Heart of Illusions for the Body Sect with a bid of 8 billion Gold Soul Coins.
