Qin Ming prepared Soul Hall to survive the peak races’ planned assault and intended to draw human and allied experts onto the Outer Domain Battlefield with a massive release of Essence Spirit Potions. The announcement stirred dormant Unrivaled Kings to action, including Lionheart King and a Holy Stele Tower guardian from the Golden Horn Race.

The second batch of Essence Spirit Potions sold out immediately, and the next batch was announced as available through military merit in the Starry Sky Tower region.

After the Essence Spirit Potion sale shifted to military merits, Qin Ming’s Soul Hall drew powerful allies into a dangerous campaign against the peak races. The second wave of potions triggered mass breakthroughs, and Qin Ming prepared to use the resulting teams to harvest souls and advance the Myriad Souls Banner.

• The Virtual Universe Company required military merits for the third potion sale, while a mission offered triple merits to Kings who fought alongside Soul Hall members.

• Qin Ming considered how to handle the souls of the fallen human experts.

Qin Ming weighed the benefits and risks of using the Netherworld to resurrect fallen human experts alongside the Human Race’s costly Reverse Time and Space method. As human Kings continued to die, he decided to consult Lord of Darkness before Soul Hall’s new resurrection ability drew more scrutiny.

• Qin Ming considered how the Netherworld could resurrect human Kings cheaply by gathering their souls and creating new bodies, while noting the method’s limits and risks.
• Qin Ming compared Netherworld resurrection with Reverse Time and Space, which restored the dead immediately but imposed a much higher cost on Cosmic Lords.
• Qin Ming considered concealing Netherworld resurrection in a separate space and using the World Tree’s Space-Time Control to make it resemble a normal resurrection.
• Qin Ming worried that humanity’s higher-ups might question Soul Hall’s origins and concluded that greater strength would help him avoid problems.
• After seeing another squad of human Kings die in the Starry Sky Tower region, Qin Ming decided to seek out Lord of Darkness.

Qin Ming revealed to the Lord of Darkness that he could restore collected souls and give them new bodies, prompting them to consider whether revived people could use larger bodies. The Lord of Darkness urged him to keep the ability secret until the Human Race was stronger, while Qin Ming protested that he had not been exploiting the Kings who died on the battlefield.

• The Lord of Darkness was shocked when Qin Ming explained that he could gather a dead person's soul and provide a cultivated body, subject to several restrictions.
• The Lord of Darkness asked whether revived souls could be placed in larger bodies, and Qin Ming said it might be possible after he solved problems involving compatibility and soul strength.
• The Lord of Darkness warned Qin Ming not to reveal his soul-revival ability because the other races might unite against the Human Race.
• The Lord of Darkness told Qin Ming to preserve the collected souls until the Human Race had gained strength, then accused him of planning to profit from the Kings' deaths.
• Qin Ming denied scheming against the Kings and insisted that their battlefield service had been a fair trade.

Giant Axe, Lord of Chaos City, and Lord of Darkness agreed to keep Qin Ming’s soul resurrection ability and Soul Hall secret while they prepared to support him. At a Cosmic Lord meeting, the Human Race decided to give Qin Ming flesh and blood from the Eight Innate Beast Gods, then turned to question Lord of Chaos City about the Soul Race in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

• Qin Ming left Lord of Darkness, deciding to keep his soul resurrection ability hidden and rely on the Human Race’s war of attrition against its enemies.
• Giant Axe and Lord of Chaos City joined Lord of Darkness, agreed to protect Qin Ming’s secrets, and decided to give him a batch of the Eight Innate Beast Gods’ remains.

• The Cosmic Lords asked Lord of Chaos City to explain the Soul Race’s presence and strength in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

As Qin Ming studied the Yan God Clan’s inherited talent, he concluded it could be awakened through deadly combat and considered integrating it into his Human Original Body.

• Giant Axe told humanity’s Cosmic Lords that the Soul Hall matter was an enormous opportunity and that he would explain it later, then barred them from interfering.

• Qin Ming condemned Yan Emperor for harming his race’s future and considered incorporating the Yan God Clan’s talent into his Human Original Body.

Qin Ming received the remains of the Eight Innate Beast Gods and tried to analyze their genetics, but the Golden Beast God’s complexity overwhelmed the Netherworld. He began studying the Twelve Peak Bloodline Beasts as another route to raise his Gene Multiple, then spent a century cultivating before a violent tremor from the Netherworld interrupted him.

• Qin Ming learned that the Human Race’s high-level council had approved giving him part of the Eight Innate Beast Gods’ remains and information about them.
• Qin Ming reviewed footage of the Golden Beast God’s death and examined the remains, noting that the Human Race had received the largest share of its body.
