• Jiang Ci'an refused to let Qian Renxue forget their past meetings, explaining that he saved her memories and restored them after each Virtual World reset.

• Jiang Ci'an decided to use only a Soul Skill Module in his Artificial Soul Ring, allowing its power to scale with the Soul Master's control and Soul Power.

• The Contract burst into golden motes that formed a chain connecting Wang Dong'er and Jiang Ci'an.

• Jiang Ci'an told Wang Dong'er that the original Blood Pact bound a servant to a master, then let her believe she had signed one.

• Jiang Ci'an reshaped the Contract Mark on Wang Dong'er’s lower abdomen while she watched him, and Xiao Xiao mistook their closeness for an intimate moment.

Outside Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue prepared to return to Spirit Hall while She Long and Ci Xue organized the withdrawal of her undercover agents.

Jiang Ci'an convinced Qian Daoliu to let him train Qian Renxue by revealing their binding Contract and promising to raise her cultivation within a year. Outside Douluo Hall, he gave Qian Renxue the Body Tempering Method and a light-aspected Immortal Herb to strengthen her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Jiang Ci'an explained why Slaughter City was a suitable place for Qian Renxue to gain power, concluding that no gods currently watched over the world. After Qian Renxue absorbed the Sun God Glazed Light Epiphyllum and increased her Soul Power, Jiang Ci'an transported them to Slaughter City.

• Jiang Ci'an told Qian Renxue they would have her absorb the Sun God Glazed Light Epiphyllum before going to Slaughter City to help her advance her Angel God's trials.
• Jiang Ci'an reasoned that Slaughter City's Fallen Ones could provide Qian Renxue with Soul Power feedback and that no gods were present to interfere, though Tang Chen might be a threat.
• Qian Renxue absorbed the Immortal Herb and raised her Soul Power Level from fifty-three to fifty-six.
• Jiang Ci'an held Qian Renxue's hand and used his time-control power to take them to Slaughter City.
• Qian Renxue remarked that Jiang Ci'an's power still seemed absurd, and he offered to share it with her.

• Jiang Ci'an left a Soul Ring and Soul Bone bundle on the shore and entered the lake to search for the Silver Dragon King.
• Jiang Ci'an slipped into the underground cavern and surveyed the Soul Beasts gathered around the bound Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• Jiang Ci'an passed over Scarlet King and other possible candidates, then settled on the Radiant Unicorn and the Light Griffin.

Jiang Ci'an secretly marked several Soul Beasts as candidates for Angel Lady’s Soul Ring, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion woke and exposed his presence. The Silver Dragon King confronted him, and he unleashed a domain that sent blood-red chains into every Soul Beast in the cavern.

• Jiang Ci'an used Indifference to mark the Light Unicorn, Light Griffin, and Dawn Flame Sky Wolf as potential candidates.

• The Silver Dragon King awakened and ordered Jiang Ci'an to release the Auspicious Beast, while his domains proved ineffective against her.
• Jiang Ci'an spread his domain across the cavern, and blood-red chains burst from his chest and sank into every Soul Beast present.

Jiang Ci'an used the lives of the Soul Beasts as leverage to make the Silver Dragon King sign a contract, promising to suppress her injuries in exchange for restrictions on her and access to several Soul Beasts. The contract freed the beasts from his life links, but its hidden clauses let him steal a portion of the Silver Dragon King’s authority, and he began treating her.

• Jiang Ci'an bound every Soul Beast present to his life and offered the Silver Dragon King a deal through a golden contract scroll.
• The Silver Dragon King accepted the contract after learning Jiang Ci'an would try to suppress her injuries; the agreement bound her to the Star Dou Great Forest for ten years and allowed him to take several Soul Beasts and the Million-Year Ice Silkworm.
• The contract replaced Jiang Ci'an’s blood-red life links with its own binding mark, freeing the Soul Beasts while setting fatal penalties for either party’s breach.
• The Silver Dragon King sensed that Jiang Ci'an had stolen some of her elemental authority through hidden clauses in the contract and called him a thief.
• Jiang Ci'an began treating the Silver Dragon King with his Time Control domain, which her elements accepted without resistance.

Silver Dragon King discovered that the boy’s domain had stopped the five Divine Kings’ wound from eroding her, then ordered the Soul Beasts to remain underground for ten years while she considered what had happened. In reality, the girl woke from a dream of the encounter and found that the Contract Mark had appeared on her body, proving the dream was more than a dream.

• At the Lake of Life, the girl woke from a vivid dream of the boy, the Contract, and the wound being suppressed.
• The girl found a warm Contract Mark on her lower abdomen and realized that her dream had reflected something real.

The injured girl realized the domain over Shrek City might be connected to the human boy who could suppress her injuries, and considered how to investigate it safely. Beneath the former Jialing Pass, Qian Renxue awakened as a remnant divine consciousness and reached out to Ye Guyi, who saw the Angel God appear before her.

• The girl connected the domain over Shrek City to the boy from her dream and decided to investigate the power sustaining it.
• The girl ruled out sending Di Tian, Xiong Jun, the other Ferocious Beasts, or the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and considered investigating herself.
• A golden light awakened beneath Jialing Pass and revealed Qian Renxue's consciousness.
• Qian Renxue recalled two conflicting sets of memories and sought a believer who could anchor her outside the ruins.
• Qian Renxue reached out to Ye Guyi during her daily prayer, and Ye Guyi saw a six-winged golden apparition appear.

Jiang Ci'an advanced Angel Lady’s cultivation in the Virtual World and then joined Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er as they worked to fuse their Soul Power. Using the connection between their Shared Contracts, he linked all three of them and began guiding their powers into resonance.

• Angel Lady reached Soul Power Level sixty-five after Jiang Ci'an sacrificed the hundred-thousand-year-old Dawn Flame Sky Wolf to her.

By the second year after Jiang Ci'an awakened his Martial Soul, they had established a steady cultivation routine, leaving Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er exhausted after a session.

• Jiang Ci'an used the Contract to synchronize his Soul Power with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, greatly increasing their Body Tempering Method's efficiency.

• After Jiang Ci'an ended the session, Wang Dong'er collapsed onto the bed and Xiao Xiao leaned against his shoulder, both saying they were tired.

Two years after his Martial Soul Awakening, Jiang Ci'an had reached Level 37 thanks in part to Trinity Soul Power fusion cultivation with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er. He collected a book and metal samples from Nine Treasures Pavilion to begin learning how to craft magical equipment from Throne of Seal.

• Jiang Ci'an reflected on his rapid cultivation and considered his fourth Soul Ring as Xiao Xiao reluctantly left his room to cultivate.
• Xiao Xiao carried the protesting Wang Dong'er off Jiang Ci'an's bed, and the two began cultivating separately on the training ground.
• Jiang Ci'an traveled to Nine Treasures Pavilion to collect the materials he had ordered.
• Deacon Lin gave Jiang Ci'an a book about metals and special alloy recipes, along with metal samples.
• Jiang Ci'an paid the remaining balance and took the materials to begin learning magical equipment crafting.
