• The Demon Whale Queen argued that Ye Qing’s victory over the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Evil Spirit Orcas could attract Spirit Beasts and help gain the Demon Soul Great White Sharks’ friendship.

Xiao Bai attended the funeral of Bai Chen, an elder of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, and sensed that the Sacred Pillar did not provide the afterlife her clan believed in. Her exploration of the pillar left her terrified by the pure darkness within it, and her younger brother called her back to herself.

• Xiao Bai's younger brother told her that Bai Chen had died, and she returned with him to the clan for the funeral.
• On the way, Xiao Bai noticed that the waters where the Evil Spirit Orcas had died were thriving with marine life because their bodies had returned to the ecosystem.

When Xiao Hui’s son was killed by human Spirit Masters, he and Xiao Bai confronted the people responsible on Sea Spear Island, where Xiao Bai agreed to spare them if the main culprit was handed over.

• Xiao Bai discovered the Sacred Pillars’ true purpose and forbade dying Demon Soul Great White Sharks from approaching them, restoring the White Shark Trench as their burial place.
• Xiao Bai told Xiao Hui that she had sensed only silence inside the Sacred Pillar, just before Xiao Hui’s wife reported that their son had been killed by a human Spirit Master.

• Xiao Bai agreed to leave them unharmed if they handed over the main culprit.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui demanded that Old Sea Spear hand over the Sea Spirit Master who killed Xiao Hui’s son, but Old Sea Spear and Sea Star Douluo tried to stall them until the Sea Spirit Beasts weakened on land.

Ye Qing watched Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui kill the Sea God Island Spirit Master while Bo Saixi chose not to intervene, deepening the rift between Sea Spirit Beasts and Sea Spirit Masters. The Demon Soul Great Sharks departed, and a new religion devoted to the Old Sea God continued to rise in Vast Sea City.

• Ye Qing declined Lan Fozi's suggestion to kill the Demon Soul Great Sharks, believing the humans could not defeat them and that his interference would seem suspicious.
• Bo Saixi chose not to intervene and ordered Sea Star's succession ceremony to be prepared, leaving Old Sea Spear and the Spirit Master to face the sharks.

• In Vast Sea City, Thetis continued promoting the Old Sea God, and a new religion quietly emerged.

The Demon Whale Queen, under the name Thetis, disrupted shipping through the Demonic Whale Sea Area and offered a desperate merchant leader safe passage in exchange for faith in the True God. The chapter ended as a new ship set out with her toward the sea.

• The Demon Whale King began sinking ships that entered his territory, leaving Vast Sea City’s merchants unable to move goods through their usual route.
• A chamber of commerce president struggled to fulfill a major order as ships and sailors refused to risk crossing the Demonic Whale Sea Area.

• The president agreed to convert his entire chamber of commerce if the Demon Whale Queen could guide a trusted person through the sea.
• A new ship sailed toward the Demonic Whale Sea Area with the Demon Whale Queen aboard.

The Demon Whale Queen, using the alias Thetis, helped a merchant ship safely cross the Demonic Whale Sea Area by invoking the True God and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. When a rival ship followed and was attacked, the sailors began to fear that doubting the True God could put them in danger.

• Thetis guided the merchant ship safely through the Demonic Whale Sea Area, and the president asked how his fleet could cross without her; she said his crew had to believe in the True God.
• The president's fellow merchants reacted to the ship's safe return, and one rival dismissed Thetis's claims and planned to follow the next day.
• The rival ship pursued the merchant vessel into the Demonic Whale Sea Area while Thetis's crew worried about an attack from their enemy.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King struck the rival ship with his tail, then drenched one sailor aboard the merchant vessel with a column of water.
• Thetis said the whale king had targeted the sailor because he doubted the True God, and the crew backed away from him in fear.

Ye Qing and the Demon Whale Queen spread belief in the Old Sea God across Vast Sea City by making passage through the Demonic Whale Sea Area depend on it. As Ye Qing traveled toward the Sea Princess clan, he and Lan Fozi found Tian Meng drifting at sea, and Tian Meng awoke to see the person he least wanted to meet.

• Thetis spared a frightened sailor but ordered him to work for the crew as punishment for doubting the Old Sea God.
• The Demon Whale Queen explained that ships would be declared false believers and destroyed if she claimed they had lied about their faith.

• Bo Saixi heard that merchants in Vast Sea City had widely adopted the Old Sea God’s faith, but she focused more on the Demon Soul Great White Sharks’ changed behavior and ships entering Sea God Island’s waters.
• Xiao Bai confronted Xiao Hui about letting ships pass, and the siblings admitted they had begun doubting the Sea God after discovering that the Sacred Pillars absorbed dead spirit beasts’ soul power and erased their remaining consciousness.
• Xiao Hui told Xiao Bai he would visit the Demonic Whale Sea Area to learn what Ye Qing had done and seek a better future for their clan, and Xiao Bai reluctantly let him go.
• After an unknown number of days, Lan Fozi and Ye Qing arrived in the Sea Princess’s territory and found wreckage and corpses, including strange human bodies with black scales and green blood.
• Ye Qing sensed a sinister aura matching the blood, and Tian Meng spotted someone who might still be alive and suggested reviving her for answers.

Ye Qing rescued Lunna, a Mermaid guard whose life was being consumed by an Evil Abyss aura, and learned that hostile creatures had emerged through a growing fissure in the Ice Sea. Lunna’s account of the fissure’s origin revealed that Ye Qing himself had opened it roughly a hundred thousand years earlier.

• Tian Meng sensed a living aura among the corpses, and Ye Qing found and rescued the unconscious Mermaid Lunna.
• Ye Qing removed the Evil Abyss aura infecting Lunna, restored her life force, and watched her wake.

• Lunna said the Sea Princess could not seal the fissure and had guarded it as it gradually grew larger.
• Lunna recounted that a witness had seen a lotus in the sky before enormous claws tore open the heavens, and Ye Qing realized he had caused the event.

Ye Qing learned that powerful black creatures were emerging from a breach in the Mermaid Abyss and infecting humans, and he decided to investigate the other plane. After showing Lunna memories of the God War to prove his strength, he waited for her to report back to the Sea Princess, though he planned to sneak to the breach if permission was denied.

• Lunna told Ye Qing that black creatures from the breach had grown stronger, infected humans, and developed a strange effect that entangled her spiritual power.
• Ye Qing considered whether the plane beyond the breach could be fused with Douluo Planet and asked Lunna to take him there.

• Ye Qing said he respected the Mermaid Race’s territory but would sneak to the breach if the Sea Princess refused, then teased Tian Meng about his past misfortune.

Lunna returned to the Mermaid palace and told the Sea Princess that Ye Qing had come to address the Rift crisis, so the Queen agreed to meet him. After Ye Qing explained how to kill the infected humans, he prepared to dive with Lunna, while Tian Meng insisted on going with him for protection.

• Lunna told Hisoka that a Land Spirit Beast had ridden a Deep Sea Demonic Whale to the Ice Sea and claimed he could solve the Rift problem.
• The Sea Princess listened as Lunna described her encounter with Ye Qing and agreed to meet him.
• Lunna found Ye Qing beside several intact infected human corpses, and he explained that destroying the Black Qi inside them stopped their bodies from moving.
• Tian Meng worried that he could not survive a deep-sea dive and pleaded with Ye Qing to take him along.
• Ye Qing agreed to bring Tian Meng underwater with him.

Ye Qing followed Lunna to the Mermaid settlement and found the Sea Princess away, guarding a disturbance at Mermaid Abyss. He reached the battle and captured a demon bearing a scar the Sea Princess had inflicted on a creature she believed she killed tens of thousands of years earlier.

• Ye Qing gave Tian Meng Bubble Coral so he could move underwater, then followed Lunna into Mermaid territory.
• Lunna learned the Sea Princess and the other Mermaids had gone to guard a new disturbance at the rift beneath Mermaid Abyss.
• Ye Qing left Lan Fozi behind and went to investigate the rift, where the Sea Princess and around two hundred powerful Sea Spirit Beasts were fighting off creatures emerging from it.
• When the rift fell silent, the Sea Princess prepared to investigate, but Ye Qing appeared with a struggling demon he had captured.
• The Sea Princess recognized the scar on the demon's chest as the mark left by her spear on a creature she had killed tens of thousands of years earlier.

Ye Qing analyzed the rift and identified the Time-Lost Desolation as a looping demi-plane whose creatures threatened Douluo Planet. He agreed to resolve the rift in exchange for the Sea Princess leading the Ice Sea Sea Spirit Beasts to join the Spirit Beasts' faction if her suspicions about the Sea God were confirmed.

• Ye Qing stopped the Demon Creature from self-destructing, and it warned that Devour would return before its soul went back through the rift.
• Ye Qing used the system's analysis to explain that the Time-Lost Desolation reset every hundred thousand years and sent puppets to infect other planes.
• The Sea Princess realized the attacks would continue and asked whether the rift could be destroyed, but Ye Qing said he could turn the demi-plane into nourishment for Douluo Planet's Plane Will.
• Ye Qing asked the Sea Princess to offer something in exchange for permanently resolving the rift, and she questioned whether he had caused it.
• Ye Qing challenged the Sea Princess's faith in Poseidon, and she discovered that her memories of why the Sea Spirit Beasts worshiped him were missing.
• The Sea Princess agreed to lead the Ice Sea Sea Spirit Beasts into the Spirit Beasts' faction if her suspicions were confirmed, while Ye Qing said he would deal with the rift first.

Ye Qing destroyed the Wraiths and the Plane Will inhabiting the Time-Lost Desolation, allowing the Douluo Plane to absorb the Demi-plane. He told the Sea Princess that the change could improve life for Spirit Beasts and invited her to the Southern Sea Region to see the truth about the Sacred Pillars and the Sea God.
