Underworld Emperor forged his Law Godhood and prepared to make his enemies grieve. At the core of the Douluo Plane, Ah Yin warned Tang Hao that an unknown person had become a new variable and might have reached the Divine Realm, just as a mysterious divine might rang out.

• Underworld Emperor used demon corpses to deepen his mastery of the Undead Law and forge a Godhood.
• A message reached Underworld Emperor, who raised the Underworld King Sword and sent a hidden divine might toward the heavens.
• Ah Yin appeared before Tang Hao, evaded his embrace, and said Xiao San's Ten Thousand Year Plan had changed.

• Tang Hao questioned how Ah Yin could be certain and why he had failed to sense the person, when a majestic divine might rang out somewhere in the Douluo Plane.

• Ah Yin reassured Tang Hao that the anomaly had not openly revealed his strength, and promised to help Tang Hao eliminate him.

Ah Yin persuaded Tang Hao to share some of the Douluo Plane’s Heaven and Earth Authority so they could stop a mysterious variable threatening Tang San’s Ten Thousand Year Plan. After receiving the authority, she resolved not to stand by Tang Hao’s side, while Jiang Xiu sensed that something had arrived in the Demon Plane.

• Ah Yin showed Tang Hao the Seed of Life and urged him to share some of the plane’s authority so she could help catch the mysterious variable.
• When the variable’s God Level aura appeared again, Tang Hao failed to locate it and agreed to give Ah Yin part of the Douluo Plane’s Heaven and Earth Authority.
• Tang Hao transferred a portion of the authority to Ah Yin, who accepted it while privately regretting her betrayal.
• In the Demon Plane, Jiang Xiu visited the Old Plane Spirit and sensed that something had arrived.

Jiang Xiu showed Old Plane Spirit the Douluo Plane World Authority, which Underworld Emperor had helped him obtain, and learned how to absorb it without alerting Tang Hao. He planned to head to the Abyssal Passage front lines, gather Shadow Soldiers, and give the Abyssal Sage King hope of invading the Douluo Plane.

• Jiang Xiu revealed the Douluo Plane World Authority, and Old Plane Spirit confirmed that it was ninety-nine percent pure and contained a fifth of the plane's authority.

• Jiang Xiu took the Seed of Life to the front lines to make the Abyssal Sage King believe the Douluo Plane was making its final stand, while the Old Plane Spirit approved and the Underworld Emperor agreed to distract Tang Hao.
• Jiang Xiu returned to the Body Sect, where Dark Bell told him that the Ghost Emperor said the Blood River God-Slaying Array was almost complete.
• Dark Bell explained that the Demon Empress and the Abyssal Sage King had agreed to build the array inside the Abyssal Passage, and Jiang Xiu approved the plan.
• Jiang Xiu told Dark Bell he would cultivate and go to the front lines the next day, while she teased him about their promised business venture and looked forward to meeting him.
