• Ning Rongrong visited Gu Linyuan, asked to talk later, and left after he turned her down, though she learned he planned to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Asura God recognized that Gu Linyuan could sense him because he was the child of God Kings, while Gu Linyuan confirmed his identity.
• Asura God told Gu Linyuan that he had not offended him but that his existence endangered the God Realm and should not exist.

The Asura God explained that Gu Linyuan could become a forbidden sixth God King, leaving him torn between killing Gu Linyuan and risking the wrath of the God of Life and Destruction. He decided to cultivate Tang San as another God King, and Gu Linyuan realized Tang San’s strong Fortune might still help him ascend.

• The Asura God told Gu Linyuan that the God Realm could sustain only five God Kings and that Gu Linyuan’s birth made him a potential sixth.
• The Asura God admitted he was hesitating because killing Gu Linyuan could drive the God of Life and Destruction mad, while sparing him could break the God Realm’s rules.
• Gu Linyuan challenged the Asura God to kill him, but the Asura God let his killing intent fade and said he would cultivate a new God King.
• The Asura God named Tang San as the candidate and cited his Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, and strong Fortune.
• Gu Linyuan wondered whether Tang San could still become a god despite his presence.

Gu Linyuan learned that the Asura God had decided to cultivate Tang San into a God King because Gu Linyuan's existence threatened the balance of power in the God Realm. Unafraid of Tang San's rise, Gu Linyuan considered sacrificing a God King to devour his Fortune, then summoned Ah Yin and entered Dugu Yan's bedroom.

• The Asura God explained that Gu Linyuan's appearance had changed his plans to pass on his Godhood and that he intended to cultivate Tang San to protect his standing in the God Realm.

• Gu Linyuan summoned Ah Yin, kicked open Dugu Yan's bedroom door, and asked where she had tattooed the Succubus Mark.

Dugu Yan showed Gu Linyuan temporary patterns on her body, while Tang San sank into despair over losing to Zhu Qing and his inability to challenge Gu Linyuan. The Asura God revealed that Gu Linyuan was the son of gods, leaving Tang San convinced that his defeats had never been his fault.

• Dugu Yan explained to Gu Linyuan that the patterns on her body could be wiped away without leaving marks, and he said he would inspect them.
• Tang San drank in his dormitory and told Xiao Wu he could not defeat Zhu Qing, let alone fight Gu Linyuan.
• The Asura God appeared before Tang San and offered to help him because their positions differed from Gu Linyuan's.
• Tang San doubted the Asura God could oppose Gu Linyuan, so the Asura God revealed that Gu Linyuan's parents were gods as powerful as himself.
• Tang San realized Gu Linyuan was a God Child and concluded that his opponent's divine lineage explained his overwhelming strength and rapid progress.

The Asura God explained that Gu Linyuan’s parents were powerful deities and that Ah Yin belonged to the Goddess of Life, leaving Tang San unable to rescue his mother or kill Gu Linyuan for good. Xiao Wu realized the Goddess of Life might be able to revive her own mother and considered asking Gu Linyuan for help, leaving Tang San afraid she might turn away from him.

• Tang San learned that the Asura God was one of the Five Supreme Gods and asked him to rescue Ah Yin, but the Asura God refused because she belonged to the Goddess of Life.
• The Asura God revealed that Gu Linyuan’s mother was the Goddess of Life and warned Tang San that Gu Linyuan could be revived if killed, though his Fortune and source would weaken.
• Xiao Wu recalled her mother’s death and asked whether the Goddess of Life could revive a Soul Beast who had sacrificed itself; the Asura God said it was possible at great cost.
• Xiao Wu wondered whether she could ask Gu Linyuan to revive her mother, while Tang San feared she would choose Gu Linyuan’s side.
• Xiao Wu asked Tang San to let her think, and the Asura God left after privately concluding that Tang San was suited for Rakshasa.

The Asura God decided to steer Tang San toward becoming a Rakshasa heir by letting his resentment grow. Gu Linyuan returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Ning Rongrong, where Sword Douluo Chen Xin challenged him to a fight, leaving Ning Rongrong to realize Gu Linyuan had come to say farewell to his past.

• The Asura God concluded that Tang San's suffering and resentment could make him a perfect Rakshasa heir and help him contend for the God King position.

• Sword Douluo asked Gu Linyuan’s cultivation and learned he was Rank forty-eight, then judged his punch comparable to Titan’s strength.

Sword Douluo revealed that Gu Linyuan’s punch had reached peak Spirit Douluo strength, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong to regret how they had treated him. Gu Linyuan confirmed that his parents were not from the Douluo Continent, and Ning Fengzhi concluded that he had driven away a God Child son-in-law.

• Sword Douluo explained that Gu Linyuan’s punch had greater destructive power than Titan’s and could rival a peak Spirit Douluo.

• Gu Linyuan confirmed that his parents were not from the Douluo Continent, and Ning Fengzhi realized he had rejected a God Child son-in-law.

Ye Tianxin agreed to the match, and Gu Linyuan suggested that he and Ye Lingling have two children as proof the restriction was overcome.
