He proposed using Di Tian as a Soul Ring to recreate the God Realm and help him create his own Godhood, leaving the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian to consider the plan.

• Qian Xunji ordered Golden Crocodile Douluo to have his father investigate Chuan Ling and vowed to destroy it if it opposed Spirit Hall.
• Zi JI told Xu Xiao that Qian Xunji had shown hostility when Xu Xiao mentioned Chuan Ling.
• Xu Xiao suggested that the Soul Beast Clan could establish its own kingdom and offer transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts a sanctuary.
• Zi JI explained that the Soul Beast Clan had stayed hidden because gods and human factions could discover and exploit them, and Xu Xiao thought Little Scumbag might slaughter them if he found their Slumbering Land.

Xu Xiao told Zi JI that changing the cultivation systems of humans and soul beasts could end their conflict, then proposed Soul Cores as a way to increase her strength and Di Tian’s. As they traveled by carriage toward the Far North, Zi JI confirmed that compressing her Soul Power seemed possible and planned to condense a Soul Core after their return.

• Xu Xiao promised Zi JI he would help the Soul Beast Clan once he grew stronger, and they discussed Spirit Hall, the Angel God, and Qian Xunji.

• Zi JI tested compressing her Soul Power, found it feasible, and decided to wait until after the Far North journey to condense a Soul Core.
