• After awakening, Kong Bo learns that his Three Moons Martial Soul absorbed moonlight energy during the night, while Red Moon illuminated Zi Ji. Zi Ji feels no immediate change but continues caring for Kong Bo and carries him to meet Di Tian.
• Kong Bo asks Di Tian to retrieve the Golden Hawksbill from the lake and persuade it to sacrifice itself. Bi Ji explains that Di Tian had not properly inspected the lakebed and that turtle soul beasts are exceptionally skilled at concealing themselves.
• Di Tian finds and drags out the enormous golden turtle, discovering that it had secretly consumed a piece of Gold of Life from the lakebed.

• Kong Bo persuades the Golden Hawksbill by promising that he will eventually become a god and resurrect it as a divine beast. He seals this promise with a Martial Soul Vow, convincing the turtle to agree.
• Kong Bo reveals his Three Moons Martial Soul and constructs an empty Soul Ring framework using Red Moon’s Darkness Affinity. The Golden Hawksbill begins sacrificing itself, sending its life force into the framework.
• Red Moon unexpectedly absorbs much of the sacrifice’s life force, especially the power originating from the Gold of Life inside the turtle. This strengthens Red Moon’s abilities, improving its efficiency at scanning soul beasts, recording Soul Ring frameworks and Martial Souls, and storing moonlight energy.
• The empty Soul Ring gradually changes color from white to yellow, purple, black, and finally black-red as it absorbs the Golden Hawksbill’s immense energy. Just as it becomes red, an unprecedented event occurs, leaving the surrounding ferocious beasts confused.

Character Developments

• Kong Bo demonstrates strategic thinking and opportunism. Rather than directly requesting Gold of Life from Gu Yuena, he finds a way to obtain it indirectly through the Golden Hawksbill’s sacrifice.
• He also shows strong confidence in his future, openly promising to become a god and resurrect the Golden Hawksbill. His ability to persuade the turtle reveals both ambition and clever manipulation.
• Zi Ji continues to act as Kong Bo’s caretaker, carrying him and attentively watching over him, though she experiences no obvious transformation from the previous night’s moonlight energy.
• Di Tian shifts from skepticism to cooperation after discovering that Kong Bo’s information is correct. He acts as both enforcer and negotiator in forcing the Golden Hawksbill to comply.

• Bi Ji provides knowledge about the lake and recognizes the unusual nature of Kong Bo’s Soul Ring framework. Di Tian confirms that Kong Bo’s Martial Soul may possess potential exceeding that of a God King.

Significant Themes

• Resourcefulness and indirect action: Kong Bo achieves his goal by exploiting the Golden Hawksbill’s hidden possession of Gold of Life rather than asking for the precious substance directly.
• Ambition and power: Both Kong Bo and the Golden Hawksbill pursue extraordinary futures—Kong Bo seeks godhood, while the turtle dreams of surpassing Di Tian and ruling its clan.
• Life, death, and resurrection: The sacrifice raises questions about whether death is permanent and presents resurrection as a possible reward for loyalty.
• Coercion versus persuasion: The Golden Hawksbill agrees only after facing threats from the ferocious beasts and receiving hope from Kong Bo’s promise.
• Unprecedented evolution: Kong Bo’s empty Soul Ring system and Red Moon’s ability to process life force suggest that his cultivation method lies outside normal Soul Master conventions.

• Kong Bo realizes he can use the Red Moon to copy the life signatures, martial souls, and skills of Di Tian and the other powerful soul beasts, though he cannot yet transfer copied martial souls to other people.
• When Bi Ji questions how the sacrifice could be stopped, Kong Bo explains that the Red Moon possesses authority over life force. He compares the sacrifice to wine being poured from a bottle into a cup; the Red Moon simply halted the transfer when it detected that the incoming energy was no longer suitable.
• Kong Bo discovers that the Golden Hawksbill’s poor condition was caused by an undigested portion of the Gold of Life it had swallowed. The sacrifice transferred the dangerous excess energy out of its body, saving its life and improving its health.

• Electrolux reveals that a blue sphere emerged from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion during the Mental Guidance. He identifies it as a fragment of a soul, likely originating from the God Realm and connected to someone who is monitoring or manipulating the Golden Lion.
• Kong Bo recognizes the fragment as part of Tang San’s daughter’s soul and explains Tang San’s scheme: he placed the fragment in the Golden Dragon Spear so that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s destiny could be exploited for his daughter’s benefit.
• Electrolux proposes using the fragment as a “key.” By combining it with the Slicing Technique and his necromantic knowledge, he hopes to create a puppet controlled by Kong Bo that possesses the soul aura of Tang San’s daughter. This could allow them to pass through seals and restricted locations established by Tang San.

• Identity and transformation: The Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s adoption of the name Gu Long’er symbolizes her movement from being a divine or beastly instrument of fate toward becoming an independent individual.
