• Qian Renxue noticed green light at a Wolf Bandit’s wound and discovered a Spirit Bone.

Bibi Dong left Spirit Hall to seek Feng Jin’s healing, while Stelle and her companions received rewards and got into trouble over a pillow linked to Stelle’s senses. The pillow ended up back with Castorice, as Cyrene and Firefly gathered around it and Stelle complained that they were treating it like her.

• Bibi Dong sensed that Feng Jin’s power might dispel the Rakshasa God’s murderous will, so she left Spirit Hall with trusted subordinates to find Stelle and the others.

• Stelle tried to retaliate against Cipher, who kicked her away and then caught her; afterward, Cyrene and Firefly asked to touch the pillow, prompting Stelle to complain.

Stelle stopped Firefly and Cyrene from playing with the Raccoon Pillow that shared her senses, then heard that Little Ika had received a hundred tons of apples and rushed off to find Feng Jin. She left with Firefly and Cyrene, hoping to make apple pies before Little Ika ate all the apples.

• Stelle threatened Firefly and Cyrene until they stopped playing with the Raccoon Pillow, then told Castorice to keep it hidden and let no one else touch it.
• Stelle examined the Little Ika doll and realized Cyrene had been touching the Raccoon Pillow’s little cross, then covered Cyrene’s mouth before she could reveal more.
• Firefly reminded Stelle that Little Ika had received a reward of a hundred tons of apples, and Cyrene suggested they make apple pies.
• Stelle grabbed Firefly’s hand and hurried toward the city walls to find Feng Jin and Little Ika before the apples ran out.

Stelle and her group found Little Ika enormous after he ate the Sky Screen’s hundred tons of apples, then rode him toward the coast as the Sky Screen announced its seventh legendary scene: “Water Dragon Chant—Parting the Sea!” Tang San was disappointed that the reveal did not feature him, and learned that Zhu Zhuqing had fled.

• Blade told Jing Yuan, "There were five people. Three paid the price," then declared that Jing Yuan was not one of them.

• March 7th and Stelle waited outside Dan Heng's room, and March told him the route meeting was about to start.
• March reminded Stelle that she had lost their bet and had to handle the coffee cups for the week.

After the Astral Express finished its Trailblaze on Jarilo-VI, Stelle tried to learn where the train would go next and discovered that Dan Heng was rumored to be a wanted criminal. As the observers on Douluo Continent reacted with fear and Tang San complained about the Sky Screen’s unfairness, Kafka appeared in the observation car.

• Stelle reported Dan Heng’s absence to Himeko, who said he had his reasons and announced that the Astral Express would depart for another planet.
• Stelle asked Himeko, Welt, Pom-Pom, and March 7th about the next destination, but none of them revealed it.
• March 7th told Stelle that Dan Heng was rumored to be wanted by a powerful faction and guessed that the Garden of Recollection was pursuing him.
• People on Douluo Continent feared Dan Heng, while Tang San angrily argued that the Sky Screen had unfairly hidden Stelle’s past and exposed his own actions.
• As the Astral Express crew prepared to begin the route meeting without Dan Heng, Kafka appeared as a holographic projection.

Kafka visited the Astral Express and urged its crew to change course for Xianzhou Luofu, warning that a Stellaron crisis would kill many residents. After she left, Welt explained the Alliance’s strength and its connection to Lan of The Hunt, while the crew prepared to discuss the diversion.

• Kafka introduced herself aboard the Astral Express and asked Himeko to change the train’s destination to Xianzhou Luofu.

• Welt explained that the Xianzhou Alliance consisted of six ships following Lan of The Hunt and that its Marshal and Generals rivaled the Legion’s Lord Ravagers.

Welt revealed that the Astral Express had been bound for Penacony, while Himeko and Stelle decided to divert to the Xianzhou Luofu to help those in danger. The people watching learned that the Stellaron Hunters had placed the Stellaron inside Stelle and speculated that she had been far stronger before losing her memories.

• Welt explained that Penacony had once been a company prison planet before a Stellaron crisis led it to join the Aeon of Harmony.
• Himeko asked Stelle whether they should go to the Xianzhou Luofu, and Stelle agreed because they were Nameless.
• Himeko warned Stelle that Kafka and the Stellaron Hunters had placed a Stellaron inside her for a long-term purpose, and Stelle suspected Kafka had ignored her deliberately.
• The people watching realized the Stellaron Hunters had put the Stellaron inside Stelle and wondered whether her lost memories had hidden her original strength.
• Stelle chose to travel to the dangerous Xianzhou Luofu and help its people, earning the admiration of those watching.

Stelle and her companions reached the coast of Douluo Continent, where Feng Jin saw the ocean for the first time, while Stelle asked Kafka why she had ignored her aboard the Astral Express.

• Welt, Himeko, Stelle, Dan Heng, and March 7th voted on the journey, and everyone but Dan Heng voted to go.
• March 7th explained that she changed her mind because the Luofu might truly be in danger and innocent people could suffer if the Express did not help.

The Astral Express reached the Xianzhou Luofu, a starship larger than a planet, while Dan Heng recognized Blade in a recording and feared for his friends. After Himeko urged him not to let his past burden keep him from helping them, Dan Heng decided to enter the Luofu despite being wanted there.

• March 7th stood through the Express’s warp and was thrown to the floor by inertia when the train jumped.
• The Astral Express arrived at the Xianzhou Luofu, and Dan Heng explained that the vast ship served as a planet for its people.
• Tang San dismissed the Luofu and boasted that his future Flying God Claw would capture ships like it, even as he noticed the sea around him had become eerily lifeless.
• Stelle, March 7th, and Welt entered the Luofu while Dan Heng and Himeko remained aboard the Express.
• Dan Heng asked Himeko to replay the Stellaron Hunters’ communication, recognized Blade, and warned that his friends were in danger.
• Himeko encouraged Dan Heng to act rather than regret holding back, and he decided to leave the train for the Luofu.

Dan Heng arrived on the Xianzhou Luofu and joined a battle where a twin-tailed girl summoned a phoenix-like creature. Across Douluo Continent, observers reacted with anticipation, while Ma Hongjun and Tang San plotted to seize the girl and her phoenix bloodline; the summoned creature then slammed into the enemies with tremendous force.

• Dan Heng could not contact Stelle after entering Xianzhou Luofu, so he hurried toward the battle and charged in to help a twin-tailed girl and a blond man fight monsters.
• The twin-tailed girl raised her massive sword and called out, “Phoenix, manifest!” as golden and purple light gathered around the blade.
• Shui Bing'er recognized the power of the girl's phoenix ability and watched eagerly, while people and Soul Beasts across Douluo Continent focused on the Sky Screen.
• Ma Hongjun told Tang San he wanted the girl's phoenix bloodline for his descendants, and Tang San promised to bring Xianzhou Luofu under his control with the Flying God Claw.
• A plump white creature appeared before the girl, charged the enemies, and crashed down hard enough to crater the ground and split it with cracks.

Sushang’s summoned Phoenix turned out to be a huge, fluffy white bird, drawing laughter from Tang San and the people watching the Sky Screen while Shui Bing’er suspected it was a powerful hatchling. Meanwhile, Dan Heng pursued Stelle and March 7th into the Scalegorge Waterscape, where echoes of his past as the Xianzhou’s High Elder hinted at the history behind his exile.

• Sushang’s enormous white Phoenix landed with enough force to carve a deep trench, and Shui Bing’er reconsidered it as a potentially formidable Phoenix hatchling.
• Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the people watching the Sky Screen laughed at the bird’s round, chicken-like appearance, while Stelle laughed with Cyrene and Firefly.
• Dan Heng, Sushang, and Luocha traveled together, learned from Xueyi that Blade was the criminal she was pursuing, and then parted ways.

• Dan Heng ignored the warnings, boarded a Skiff, and sailed into the vast Scalegorge Waterscape to find his companions.

• Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s dragon-type Martial Soul users fell to their knees before Dan Heng’s overwhelming presence.

Dan Heng’s dragon aura forced dragon-blooded beings across Douluo Continent, including Gu Yuena, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, to kneel, while Tang San grew hostile toward him. On the Xianzhou, Yanqing fought Dan Heng and Blade as Dan Heng urgently tried to reach his friends, and Yanqing unleashed a huge ice sword that threatened to seal the battlefield.

• Dan Heng destroyed Yanqing’s flying-sword formation with water spears, prompting Yanqing to form an enormous ice-blue greatsword and bring it down toward Dan Heng and Blade.

After witnessing Yanqing’s swordsmanship, Sword Douluo Chen Xin abandoned his Seven Kill Sword and rediscovered his love of sword techniques through an ordinary iron sword. He concluded that Martial Souls had restricted Douluo Continent’s development and began imagining new ways to use weapons.

• Douluo Continent’s spectators marveled at Yanqing’s swordsmanship, while Sword Douluo judged it superior to his own.
• Bone Douluo tried to comfort Sword Douluo by explaining that Pathstriders’ powers surpassed their Martial Soul system.
• Sword Douluo threw away his Seven Kill Sword and seized a rusty training sword, recalling how he had practiced before awakening his Martial Soul.
• Holding the iron sword restored Sword Douluo’s sense of connection to swordsmanship and helped him understand Yanqing’s techniques and sword arrays.
• Sword Douluo declared that Martial Souls had made Spirit Masters overly dependent on Soul Skills, and he envisioned controlling countless flying swords to create powerful formations.

Tang San and his companions were betrayed by their crew and stranded in the Demonic Whale Sea Area, while Dan Heng’s overwhelming dragon might kept the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King too terrified to attack. Tang San mistook the beast’s absence for fear of his Sea God aura and continued drifting with the others.

• Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong collapsed in terror at Dan Heng’s dragon might, while Tang San dismissed the events on the Sky Screen.
• Tang Xiao realized the ship had entered the Demonic Whale Sea Area, and a crewman revealed the sailors’ plan to use the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to kill Tang San and his companions.

• Tang San slaughtered sailors as chaos erupted, then he and the others escaped onto wooden planks and drifted at sea without being attacked.
• Tang San concluded that his Sea God aura had frightened the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the stench from Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong quickly ruined his smugness.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hid in a deep trench and dug into the seabed, terrified of the dragon might radiating from Dan Heng on the Sky Screen.
