Zichuan returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the final Life God and Destruction God trial: earning the recognition of the Life Ancient Tree and Destruction Scepter. He found the two Transcendent Divine Artifacts waiting above newly appeared altars, and the trial stood ready to begin.

The sphere remained silent, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed that its condition was far worse than they had expected.

• Zichuan failed to move the Life Ancient Tree despite repeated attempts and wondered why it rejected him.

• Zichuan realized he had never received the Goddess of Life’s direct guidance or acknowledgment and turned to the emerald sphere in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Zichuan respectfully asked the Goddess of Life for a chance to prove himself, but the sphere did not respond.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Zichuan that the sphere’s condition was extremely poor.

Zichuan learned that awakening the Goddess of Life could destroy her final traces, so he chose not to risk her existence for his own advancement. As he prepared to leave, she awakened on her own and appeared before him, asking whether he needed her help.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Zichuan that the Goddess of Life had enough strength for only one complete exchange and might vanish forever if forcibly awakened.

• The Goddess of Life comforted Zichuan and explained that the Life Ancient Tree needed her remaining origin divine power to become a true Transcendent Divine Artifact.

The Goddess of Life chose to use her remaining soul to clear Zichuan’s final obstacles, explaining that her sacrifice was her last gift as his mother. After Zichuan called her “Mom,” she released her life-origin power into the Life Ancient Tree, awakening it with immense vitality.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass celebrated the rewards and looked forward to visiting the God Realm.

Tang San discovered that Zichuan carried the source auras of the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life, and suspected that the God King of Destruction had planted him on Douluo Continent. The chapter left Tang San and Xiao Wu believing Zichuan might be part of a plan to undermine their influence.

• Tang San told Xiao Wu to prepare for their descent to the lower realm, saying he would act personally even if the God King of Destruction backed Zichuan.
