• Ye Lingling celebrated completing her eighth trial and told Tang San she would make him her nourishment if he failed to finish his own trial by the deadline.

Chen Xing and Bibi Dong searched the Demon Whale Sea Area for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King so Bibi Dong could complete her eighth Sea God trial.

• Chen Xing told Bibi Dong to make the first move in her eighth test, and she activated her Death Spider Emperor True Body as the King unleashed his Demonic Whale Domain.

Bibi Dong defeated the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the Sea God sent a tribulation bolt that killed him just as he reached godhood. Chen Xing collected his golden Soul Ring and found a torso Spirit Bone, leaving him unsure how to use the bone because he already had one.

• Bibi Dong used Disguise and Eternal Wound to strike the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who recognized her power of Devour and condemned the gods as greedy.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King transformed into his true body and charged at the Golden Tribulation Lightning, which killed him with its first bolt.

• Chen Xing realized the whale had evolved into a god moments before dying and collected its golden Soul Ring in the Preparation Bench.
• Chen Xing cut open the whale's corpse and found a million-year torso bone, but regretted that he already had a torso Spirit Bone.

After the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King died, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life examined Chen Xing as a potential successor but rejected him because his origins did not match their domains.

• Chen Xing and Bibi Dong returned to Sea God Island, where the women welcomed them and Bibi Dong confirmed that her eighth trial was complete.
• Chen Xing presented the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s god-level Torso Bone and gave it to A-Zi because the thunder-attributed bone suited her Purple Thunder Spear.

Chen Xing tried to stop A-Zi from absorbing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Bone, but a God of Destruction inheritance appeared and destroyed the whale's soul. Ah Yin also received the Goddess of Life's inheritance, and both women's first trials required them to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

• Chen Xing decided to pull A-Zi's Soul Bone out and asked Ah Yin to restore her life energy, but Bo Saixi stopped him when a God King-level inheritance surrounded A-Zi.
• A second inheritance descended upon Ah Yin as A-Zi completed the God of Destruction's inheritance and woke, frightened but unharmed.
• A-Zi told Chen Xing that the God of Destruction had annihilated the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul and assigned her a trial to kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast using her own Destruction Power.
• Ah Yin woke with the Goddess of Life's inheritance and revealed that her first trial was to help A-Zi hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Chen Xing said the trials tested their allegiance because the God Realm forbade soul beasts from becoming gods, and A-Zi and Ah Yin asked whether they still had to complete them.

Chen Xing learned that his million-year Soul Ring granted the powerful Dragon God Claw but decided to wait for one that suited his martial souls. As Bibi Dong began her final Sea God trial, Bo Saixi prepared to sacrifice herself, leaving the gathered people of Sea God Island to face her impending death.

• Ye Lingling left Slaughter City and searched for Chen Xing with her divine sense, sensing Tang San’s, the Sea God’s, the God of Destruction’s, and the Goddess of Life’s divine auras instead.

• Ye Lingling threatened to torture Chen Xing, but he told her that her mother had deserved her death and challenged her to remember why she had gone to Shrek.
• Ye Lingling angrily defended Ye Lanyi, insisting her mother had only wanted to break the Nine Heart Begonia curse and save lives.

Chen Xing confronted Ye Lingling over Ye Lanyi’s attempt to devour his bloodline, forcing Ye Lingling to face the truth behind her mother’s actions before hatred drove her to fight. As both summoned their powers, Chen Xing revealed his formidable Soul Rings and began strengthening himself for battle.

• Chen Xing accused Ye Lingling and Ye Lanyi of acting out of selfishness, and Ye Lingling’s certainty began to falter.
• Chen Xing argued that Ye Lanyi had been wrong to sacrifice him, even if she had acted to save Ye Lingling and free the Nine Heart Begonia clan from its curse.
• Ye Lingling’s beliefs collapsed under the weight of her grandmother’s teachings, her mother’s pleas, and the truth about Ye Lanyi’s actions, but Rakshasa power overwhelmed her doubts.
