Dugu Bo agreed to serve the Martial Soul Empire if Lin Feng used his bloodline ascension method to cure his granddaughter Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul defect. Lin Feng transformed Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent into a dragon-like Martial Soul, leaving Dugu Bo overjoyed as her poisonous backlash began to disappear.

• Dugu Bo offered to serve the Empire for life if Qian Renxue cured Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul defect, and Qian Renxue agreed after consulting Lin Feng.

• Dugu Bo sensed that Dugu Yan’s accumulated toxins were changing into a stronger poison without causing backlash and rejoiced.

Lin Feng transformed Dugu Yan’s martial soul, recruited Dugu Bo into the Judgment Hall, and produced millions of coins for the empire’s reforms. Days later, an empire-wide announcement offered children without Innate Soul Power a free chance to evolve their martial souls, leaving a rural Spirit Hall deacon stunned by the news.

• The empire announced that children aged six to twelve without Innate Soul Power could receive one free Martial Soul Evolution Initiation.
• A rural crowd struggled to understand the announcement until a Spirit Hall deacon read it and realized it offered hope to children who could not previously become soul masters.

Branch halls across the land began using Bloodline Ascension coins to give children with useless martial souls Innate Soul Power, while Lin Feng tracked the coins’ cost from the imperial palace.

Lin Feng and Qian Renxue reviewed the growing returns and costs of the Universal Ascension Plan, then agreed to slow Bloodline Ascension after learning the empire could not afford to serve twenty million children at once. As officials reported progress and a need for soul master education, Tang Yuehua arrived to see Lin Feng, souring Qian Renxue’s mood.

• After several days together, Lin Feng checked the Auxiliary Godly Gear and found its returns had risen to 0.002% Soul Power and 20,000 Gold Coins per hour, but calculated that the plan had already cost more than two billion Gold Soul Coins.

• Tang Yuehua entered the Imperial Study in a blue cheongsam, and Qian Renxue’s mood soured at the sight of another woman seeking Lin Feng.

Tang Yuehua arrived to serve as Lin Feng’s assistant and was left handling the empire’s affairs when Lin Feng and Qian Renxue went to Sea God Island. There, Lin Feng learned that his companions’ trials required them to help Tang San complete his God Trial, with failure carrying a deadly punishment.

• Oscar suggested abandoning the Sea God Trials, but Ning Rongrong warned that failing them would trigger the Divine Seal’s punishment.
• Oscar cursed the Sea God for forcing them to help Tang San.

Lin Feng destroyed the Sea God trial seals on Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and the others, provoking the Sea God to descend as a projection. Lin Feng and Qian Renxue faced him with power that surpassed his, leaving the Sea God shocked by their strength.

• Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong planned to use the others’ trials to pressure Lin Feng into evolving Yu Xiaogang’s martial soul, while Tang San and Hu Liena reacted uneasily.

• After flying more than three hundred miles, Lin Feng faced Sea God over the sea and summoned three Thunder Dragons with his gold coin.
• The Thunder Dragons struck Sea God into the ocean abyss, then destroyed his nine water dragons as he launched a barrage of water blades at them.

Lin Feng broke the Sea God’s Unfixed Storm and battered him with lightning, revealing that he could damage the god despite the Sea God’s ocean-backed durability. The Sea God remained difficult to kill, so Lin Feng equipped Judgment Blade and Nightmare Fang to suppress his recovery.

• Lin Feng’s Purple-Gold Divine Thunder injured the Sea God and let the three Dragon Soldiers knock him into the ocean as Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong arrived.
• The Sea God trapped Lin Feng, Qian Renxue, and the Thunder Dragons with Unfixed Storm, but Lin Feng used Purify and Flash to escape and punch the Sea God into the seabed.

• Lin Feng summoned Tang Chen, gave him a Teleport Gold Coin and the Sea God's Trident, and ordered him to throw it into the Yellow Springs Blood Pool in the Capital of Slaughter.
• Qian Renxue worried about Lin Feng's plan, but he insisted the trident was his trophy and teased her about being his wife.
• Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong arrived, and Bo Saixi asked where the Sea God was; Lin Feng said he had blown him apart.
• Bo Saixi left without attacking because she still had to help Tang San complete his God Trial, while Bibi Dong reconsidered her plan to use Tang San against Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng departed, and the Sea God later tried to recall his trident but could not locate it anywhere in the lower realm.
• The Sea God roared in anger at Lin Feng, drawing the attention of gods who had witnessed his defeat.
