• Lin Yi surveyed the rare texts and seven floating objects above a stone platform as Bibi Dong turned to him and asked what he thought.

Lin Yi browsed Spirit Hall’s Library Pavilion while Bibi Dong hoped he would reveal a way to advance her Rakshasa Godhood. After hearing his thoughts about Slaughter City and hunting evil fugitives, Bibi Dong gained two possible alternatives to waging war.

• Bibi Dong let Lin Yi browse the Library Pavilion’s rare collection for an hour while she watched him.
• Lin Yi found the Rakshasa Secret Record and judged its vague contents useless, while privately thinking about Bibi Dong’s difficult path to the inheritance.
• Bibi Dong listened as Lin Yi’s thoughts revealed that the Rakshasa inheritance required evil thoughts, slaughter, and devouring, and that war would demand too many deaths.
• Lin Yi thought that Bibi Dong could cultivate her Rakshasa Godhood in Slaughter City, where generations of resentment had accumulated.
• Lin Yi considered another option: Spirit Hall could hunt fugitive evildoers across the continent, gain public support, and feed the Rakshasa Godhood without starting a war.

Bibi Dong heard Lin Yi’s thoughts about several paths to reaching the Rakshasa Godhood and decided to change her strategy. After Lin Yi returned from the Library Pavilion, Shui Qingyue questioned why Bibi Dong had treated him so generously.

• Bibi Dong learned that purging fallen people and gathering murderous resentment in Slaughter City could strengthen her pursuit of the Rakshasa Godhood, while hunting ancient Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was a dangerous later option.
• Bibi Dong offered to help Lin Yi understand the Library Pavilion texts, but his thoughts made her suspect she might have taken a liking to him.

• Shui Qingyue waited for Lin Yi at the West Wing Guest House Complex and, after hearing about Bibi Dong's offer and access to the library, wondered what the Pope was planning.

• Shui Qingyue dismissed Lin Yi to rest and wondered why Bibi Dong had taken him to the top floor of Spirit Hall’s Library Pavilion.
• Lin Yi told Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling what Bibi Dong had discussed with him, then reflected on the Sun God Spear and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings before falling asleep.
• The Skywater Academy group awarded the Swift Advance Left Leg Bone to Zhu Zhuqing, kept the fire-attributed Explosive Burning Spirit Bone for Lin Yi, and gave the Wisdom Skull of Mental Condensation to Ning Rongrong.
• As the group prepared to leave for the academy, a striking golden-haired woman approached them, and none of the girls recognized her.

Qian Renxue visited Skywater Academy after its championship win and introduced herself as Bibi Dong’s daughter and Spirit Hall’s Saintess. Her presence and sudden revelation made the girls wary that she had come to recruit someone, while Lin Yi remained unsure of her true purpose.

• Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er pressed Lin Yi about Qian Renxue's interest in him and his knowledge of her identity.
• Shui Qingyue ended the girls' questioning and asked Lin Yi what he thought of Qian Renxue.
