• Yu Xiaogang learned that the Clear Sky Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall, and the Four Great Clans were targeting Tang Hao and feared there was nowhere safe left for them.

• Ye Mu argued Tang San would forgive Tang Hao because he depended on him and was selfishly devoted to his father and sect.
• Xiao Wu agreed that Tang San would accept Tang Hao's actions, and Tang San entered the bedroom but sat beside his sleeping father without waking him.

Tang San confronted Tang Hao with flyers exposing his role in Ah Yin’s death, and Tang Hao admitted he had arranged for Spirit Hall to pursue her so he could claim her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone. Tang San forgave him, while Ye Mu and the others reacted with disgust and planned to make their lives difficult in Slaughter City.

• At the valley, Ye Mu heard a mysterious call from the pool that the others could not hear.
• Ye Mu explained the summons to the girls and went down alone to investigate, leaving them behind.

Ye Mu entered the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and discovered the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s remains, along with their dragon souls. Recognizing his Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul as pure true dragon bloodline, they pledged him their allegiance and asked him to lead the Spirit Beast race to godhood.

• Ye Mu dove into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and reached an underground cavern containing the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s corpses.
• Ye Mu found the source of the well’s yin and yang energies and paid his respects to the two Dragon Kings.
• The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King appeared as human-shaped dragon souls and knelt before Ye Mu, calling him their lord.
• Ye Mu summoned his Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, and the Dragon Kings explained that the Dragon God had instructed them to serve anyone with pure true dragon bloodline.
• The two Dragon Kings asked Ye Mu to lead the Spirit Beast race to break its shackles and achieve godhood.

Ye Mu hesitated to accept the Dragon Kings’ request that he lead the soul beast race, but promised to consider helping if he could inherit the Dragon God’s divine position and called for humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully. The Dragon Kings blessed him by raising all eight of the Wordless Heavenly Book’s Spirit Rings to one million years, then urged him to become a god and protect the soul beast race.

• Ye Mu considered the danger of opposing the God Realm and told the Dragon Kings he would not lead the soul beast race into conflict with humans.

• The weakened Dragon Kings urged Ye Mu to become a god and lead the soul beast race, while the Fire Dragon King voiced concern that humans were steadily shrinking the soul beasts’ living space.

After the Water and Fire Dragon Kings used up their strength to raise Ye Mu’s first martial soul Spirit Rings to a million years, he began fusing their divine position crystals for the Second God Trial. He emerged from the pool at rank ninety-nine, collected the ice-and-fire crystals, and prepared to return with the girls.

• The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King granted Ye Mu their blessing, raising all the Spirit Rings of his first martial soul to a million years before both dissipated.
• Ye Mu discovered the Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ divine position crystals, and the Wordless Heavenly Book revealed that fusing them was the Second God Trial.
• Ye Mu guided the crystals into his brow, where their dragon souls began fusing in his sea of consciousness with the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul’s help.
• Ye Mu collected the ice-and-fire crystals, emerged from the pool, and told the waiting girls what had happened.
• The girls reacted to Ye Mu’s million-year Spirit Rings, and he said he had reached rank ninety-nine and was ready to return.

After leaving Sunset Forest, Ye Mu agreed to take Xiao Wu and the others to Star Dou Great Forest to visit Daming and Erming. An anonymous Book Friend then asked about the disturbance in Sunset Forest and fell silent when Ye Mu asked her to reveal her name.

• The anonymous Book Friend asked Xiao Wu whether she or Ye Mu had caused the disturbance, and Ye Mu asked the stranger to reveal her name.
• When the anonymous Book Friend stopped responding, Ye Mu decided to leave her identity alone.

Ye Mu identified the anonymous Book Friend as Gu Yuena, the injured Silver Dragon King who ruled the soul beasts and lived beneath the Lake of Life. Gu Yuena agreed to meet Ye Mu and the others at the Star Dou Great Forest, while the women wondered what he knew about her future.

• After the Anonymous Book Friend said she had dozed off and would not reveal her identity, Ye Mu guessed she was Gu Yuena of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Ning Rongrong guessed that Gu Yuena was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but Ye Mu corrected her and identified Gu Yuena as the Silver Dragon King.
• Ye Mu explained that Gu Yuena had once possessed power between a quasi-God King and a first-class deity, but was now recovering from severe injuries.
• Gu Yuena considered the Storybook's power and its rules, then admitted her identity and invited Ye Mu and the others to meet her at the Lake of Life.
• The group reacted to Gu Yuena's invitation, and the women asked Ye Mu whether he knew about her future.

Ye Mu wrote out Gu Yuena’s future, including her relationship with Tang Wulin and her abandonment of the Soul Beast cause, shocking the women and the Storybook’s readers. Gu Yuena read the story beneath the Lake of Life, rejected the fate it described, and turned to the chat after noticing she had been tagged.

• Qian Renxue asked whether Ye Mu knew Gu Yuena’s fate, and Ye Mu wrote Gu Yuena’s story in the Wordless Heavenly Book.

• Gu Yuena read her story beneath the Lake of Life and grew furious at the prospect of becoming involved with Tang San’s son and abandoning the Soul Beast race.
• Gu Yuena resolved to change her fate, then switched to the chat channel after seeing that someone had tagged her.

Gu Yuena rejected the Book Friends’ claim that she might become a beast traitor, but realized the Storybook’s restrictions prevented her from attacking them. Ye Mu and the others continued toward the Star Dou Great Forest, where Gu Yuena had agreed to meet them.

• Gu Yuena denied that she was a beast traitor, and Huo Wu tested the Storybook’s restrictions by provoking her without consequence.
• Ye Mu concluded that Gu Yuena would restrain Di Tian and the other soul beasts, then arranged for the group to meet her at the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Gu Yuena reflected on the harm Tang San’s family had caused the soul beast race and resolved to reclaim what the Asura God and the other gods had taken from her.
• Ye Mu continued toward the Star Dou Great Forest with the others, while Huo Wu worried that Gu Yuena might torment her for her remarks.
• Ye Mu reassured Huo Wu that Gu Yuena would not hold a minor insult against her.

Ye Mu’s group reached the Lake of Life, where Di Tian appeared to block their way and test them. Di Tian was surprised that Ye Mu recognized him and sensed that the young man might be far more powerful than he seemed.

• Huo Wu worried that Gu Yuena might retaliate for her earlier remarks, so she apologized to the Silver Dragon King through the Storybook.
• Ye Mu led the group through the Star Dou Great Forest toward the Lake of Life, and they arrived at its outer region the following morning.
• Ye Mu sensed someone approaching and warned the others as Di Tian landed in front of them.
• Qian Renxue asked why Di Tian was blocking their path, and Ye Mu stepped between them when Di Tian’s pressure threatened her.
• Ye Mu identified Di Tian and named his position, allegiance, and eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, prompting Di Tian to decide to test him.

Ye Mu revealed his Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul to overcome Di Tian’s test and gain entry to Lake of Life. Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts recognized Ye Mu as the Dragon God and welcomed him, while Qian Renxue and the others were left astonished.

• Di Tian challenged Ye Mu and his companions to prove their strength before allowing them to meet Gu Yuena.
