• Fu Shiyan told Tang Hao about the possible Rakshasa inheritance in Slaughter City and asked who might have obtained it.
• Tang Hao believed Fu Shiyan and suspected Bibi Dong, one of the only three people in a century to emerge as a God of Slaughter.

• Yue Guan saw an illusion resembling his sister holding a mooncake and struggled to resist approaching her.
• A blue-gold light streaked across the night sky and descended into a hidden stone cave near Sunset Forest.

Fu Shiyan took control of the Void Reality Illusion Domain and revealed why he intended to recruit Yue Guan for Baicao Hall and draw him away from Spirit Hall. He confronted Yue Guan while the illusion had left him emotionally shaken, and Yue Guan demanded that his hidden opponent reveal himself.

• Fu Shiyan recalled his Caomu Huashen and strengthened the Void Reality Illusion Domain with the Azure Creation Tree.
• Fu Shiyan considered Yue Guan's potential, his affinity with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his value to Baicao Hall, and his weak ties to Bibi Dong.

• Fu Shiyan formed a Green-Robed Phantom and revealed himself to Yue Guan.

• Fu Shiyan poured tea for Yue Guan, who realized his attacks had struck only the domain and that he could not find Fu Shiyan's real body.

• The Green-Robed Phantom said the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had been prepared for Yue Guan, but that receiving it depended on his choice.

• Yue Guan decided to play along with Fu Shiyan and look for a way out of the Illusion Domain.

• Fu Shiyan mentioned Tang Chen and claimed that Qian Daoliu was not the only rank-ninety-nine god's high priest, shocking Yue Guan.
• Fu Shiyan asked Yue Guan whether he understood the differences between godhoods and ranks of gods, then introduced Self-Created Godhood as the first type.

Fu Shiyan's Avatar tempted Yue Guan with the possibility of inheriting the Flower God's godhood, which could let him resurrect his sister, then left him a genuine Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb. Yue Guan returned to Sunset Forest with the herb and seven days to decide whether to meet the Avatar again.

• The Avatar explained how people could create or inherit a godhood and revealed that the Flower God's previous inheritor had possessed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul.
• Yue Guan realized he might be qualified to inherit the Flower God's godhood and was overwhelmed by the possibility.
• The Avatar told Yue Guan that true gods could resurrect the dead and guide them into the God Realm, stirring Yue Guan's grief and hope for his sister.
• The Avatar gave Yue Guan a genuine Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb and said he would await Yue Guan's answer in seven days at midnight.
• Yue Guan returned to a clearing on the outskirts of Sunset Forest holding the herb and stood considering the Avatar's offer.

Fu Shiyan explained how he had used the Void Reality Illusion Domain to tempt Yue Guan into reconsidering his loyalty to Spirit Hall, while a sudden surge of Faith Power revealed that Fu Zhi’s approach to Oscar was working.

• Oscar asked Fu Zhi about her strength, and she revealed that she was a level 93 Title Douluo.
• Fu Zhi told Oscar to call her Sister Fu, and her surname reminded him of Teacher Fu from his dreams.
• Fu Zhi explained that Spirit Hall should have reported Oscar, an Innate Full Soul Power Food System Soul Master, as a rare talent.
• Fu Zhi said Hall Master Claire had concealed Oscar's talent to avoid being transferred and had arranged for academy students to isolate him while Spirit Hall deacons treated him warmly.
• Oscar realized that the treatment he had received was meant to make him dependent on Claire, and he remembered Teacher Fu's trust and the consequences of his past choices.

Fu Zhi taught Oscar basic techniques for three days before revealing she was bound for Heaven Dou City to protect Fu Shiyan. Oscar realized the people and events from his recurring dream might be real, then asked Fu Zhi to take him to Heaven Dou City.

Fu Shiyan identified Ning Rongrong as the remaining crucial variable, while the six-year-old Ning Rongrong dreamed of a powerful future and witnessed her family’s destruction. Her nightmare continued with visions of a continent-wide war between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires and the Spirit Hall Empire.

• Fu Shiyan returned to his courtyard and concluded that Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were out of danger, leaving Ning Rongrong as the key variable.

• Ning Rongrong saw visions of a war between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires and the Spirit Hall Empire, with Dai Tianyu leading the Star Luo Empire and Xue Qingli ruling Heaven Dou.

• Ning Rongrong dreamed of a war against the Spirit Hall Empire, where Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Demon Scythe pierced Ning Fengzhi as he pushed Rongrong to safety.

• Ning Rongrong saw that Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were unharmed and asked whether they were really alive.

• Ning Fengzhi comforted Ning Rongrong and asked what she had dreamed.
• Ning Rongrong described a large school, Brother Dai, Third Brother, and a teacher who tested people to become immortals.
• Ning Rongrong recounted a devastating attack on her home and said a spider-bodied woman named something like Bi Dong killed Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa with a black scythe.

• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi that he pushed her away before the woman’s scythe pierced his chest.

After Ning Rongrong described a terrifying dream in which Spirit Hall destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo considered whether it foretold the future. They left the sleeping girl and began planning investigations into Spirit Hall and the mysterious Beichen Academy.

• Ning Rongrong sobbed that a spider-like woman killed Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong in a continent-wide war.

• Ning Fengzhi remained in the secret chamber as the continent-wide investigation began, while Fu Shiyan reviewed the gains from his venture in Heaven Dou City.

Fu Shiyan gained Faith Power from Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, then gave Oscar two cultivation methods after he arrived in Heaven Dou City. When Wu Yuan, a guard commander from Tianxing King Mansion, came seeking his young master, Fu Shiyan recognized the matter and took Dai Tianyu with him.

• Fu Shiyan received Faith Power from Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong in addition to Ning Rongrong, with Chen Xin contributing the most among them.
• Oscar arrived at Fu Shiyan's residence, and Fu Shiyan gave him the cultivation methods for Thousand Profound Condensing Yuan Force and Gale Phantom Steps instead of accepting him as a disciple.
• Oscar settled in and devoted himself to cultivating the two techniques while Tang San and Dai Tianyu sparred in the rear courtyard.
• Xiao Wu reported that Wu Yuan, commander of the guards of Tianxing King Mansion, had come to see his young master.
• Dai Tianyu lost focus upon hearing the news, allowing Tang San to bind him with Blue Silver Grass, and Fu Shiyan ended the spar and took Dai Tianyu with him.
