• Bibi Dong asks why Lu Xian seems to target Tang Hao and Tang San. He explains that he is wary of anyone he cannot control, and Tang San is the one person he cannot confidently predict or manage.
• Lu Xian warns that Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa Godhood may be a trap. He reasons that she received it in the City of Slaughter, a domain established by Asura God, a Divine King—an unlikely place for a lesser god, Rakshasa, to independently recruit a successor.
• He further argues that Asura must have allowed Rakshasa’s actions because they benefited him too, suggesting the arrangement serves a larger scheme. Bibi Dong resists the conclusion but becomes increasingly unsettled.

• Lu Xian argues that the gods—and Qian Xunji—each gained something from the schemes, while Bibi Dong was the one who suffered. Bibi Dong accepts that her only way forward is to defeat Tang San and break the gods’ plan.

He has been preparing for years: Tang San carries the vessel for Lu Xian’s first ring, while Bibi Dong’s daughter holds the key to the Sea God Trial.
