• Ning Fengzhi asked Wang Zhao about the Angel God’s announcement, and they expected Spirit Hall to reveal where the meeting would take place.

• News of the Sacred Ceremony spread across the continent, and several previously neutral forces joined Spirit Hall.
• Spirit Hall invited the leaders of the major powers to meet in Dragon Rise City to discuss the Divine Decree, and the powers accepted rather than risk falling behind.

Emperor Dai Tianfeng and Empress Zhu Qingyun arrived in Dragon Rise City for the gathering about the Divine Decree, where the major factions would discuss changes to Soul Master cultivation. As the city awaited the other leaders, Wang Zhao arrived first atop a Platinum Dragon.

• Dragon Rise City officials and Spirit Hall members cleared the central district ahead of the gathering.
• Dai Tianfeng and Zhu Qingyun traveled to the city in the Star Luo Imperial Family's carriage, preparing to face the powerful factions assembled there.
• Spirit Hall excluded reclusive sects from the gathering, leaving the Clear Sky Sect, called the Rat Sect, to endure the snub and rely on Tang Yuehua for news.
• The crowd spotted a dragon above the city, and the Lord of Dragon Rise City identified its rider as Wang Zhao of Dragon King Hall.
• Dai Tianfeng rose when he learned that Wang Zhao had arrived first atop a Platinum Dragon.

Dai Tianfeng reflected on Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai’s rivalry, his plans for their succession, and Wang Zhao’s overwhelming influence. He then spotted Wang Zhao overhead and called out to him.

• Dai Tianfeng recalled how Spirit Hall’s pursuit had prevented Wang Zhao from settling in the Star Luo Empire and envied the power of the Dragon King Hall.

Wang Zhao and Qian Jun met Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng and Empress Zhu Qingyun while traveling to a major gathering in Dragon Rise City. After discussing the Star Luo princes and arriving first, they awaited the other powers, who began arriving one by one.

• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Xue Ye, Gelon, Yu Yuanzhen, and the sect masters of the Lower Four Sects arrived.

Wang Zhao confronted Yu Yuanzhen over his interest in Wang Zhao’s body and learned that the True Dragon Meditation Method could not sense a thunder-attribute dragon soul bone in him. Qian Jun’s pressure unsettled Yu Yuanzhen, and Spirit Hall’s Pope Bibi Dong and Level 99 Peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu arrived at the gathering.

• Wang Zhao noticed Yu Yuanzhen watching him and bluntly asked whether Yu Yuanzhen was interested in his body.
• Yu Yuanzhen said his True Dragon Meditation Method would have sensed a thunder-attribute true dragon soul bone, so he believed Wang Zhao had none.
• Wang Zhao considered the method’s unusual qualities and thought about Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Yuanzhen sensed Qian Jun’s pressure and wondered if Qian Jun had advanced to Level 97.
• Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu arrived, and Qian Daoliu took the seat of honor and told everyone to sit.

Qian Daoliu gathered humanity’s leaders in Dragon Rise City to discuss the soul beast race’s representatives, while Wang Zhao revealed that soul beasts could become Ferocious Beasts by surviving a Lightning Tribulation. The leaders were left wondering what kind of being could live for a million years.

• Qian Daoliu called on the gathered leaders to set aside their factions and face the soul beast representatives as humanity.
• Qian Daoliu praised Wang Zhao, prompting the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance leaders to worry that Spirit Hall might recruit Dragon King Hall.
• Huyan Zhen guessed that the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape would represent the soul beasts, but Qian Daoliu said those two would not qualify.
• Wang Zhao explained that soul beasts surviving a Lightning Tribulation could become Ferocious Beasts, retain their strength in human form, and cultivate for up to nine hundred and ninety thousand years.
• Yu Yuanzhen asked what kind of existence a Million-Year Soul Beast would be.

Wang Zhao and Qian Daoliu explained the power and potential of Ferocious Beasts as the human delegation prepared to meet the Soul Beast Clan. At the meeting, leaders from the Star Dou Great Forest and Far North introduced themselves, while the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King declared that sea Soul Beasts would not participate in the reform.

• Wang Zhao confirmed that a Soul Beast could reach the Divine Level by surviving Lightning Tribulations, and Qian Daoliu described Ferocious Beasts and the strength of the Soul Beast Clan.

• Di Tian, Myriad Demon King, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, and Zi Ji introduced themselves as representatives of the Star Dou Great Forest's Soul Beasts.
• Snow Empress and Ice Empress introduced themselves as representatives of the Far North's Soul Beasts.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said he had come to observe and that sea Soul Beasts would not take part in the reform.

Human and soul beast representatives exchanged keys that produced scrolls formalizing their temporary peace and explaining inner cores and Beast Hearts. Qian Daoliu then announced that Salas would test a god-bestowed Inner Core Soul Ring, potentially gaining a hundred-thousand-year ninth Soul Ring if he could endure it.

• Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Wang Zhao, and other human leaders introduced themselves as representatives to the Ferocious Beasts.
• Qian Daoliu and Di Tian presented their Divine Keys, which merged and produced scrolls detailing the human and soul beast methods for inner cores, faith, and Beast Hearts.
• The Angel God and Co-Lord of Soul Beasts appeared in the sky and bestowed a jade box, which Qian Daoliu received.
• Qian Daoliu revealed that Salas had been kept from hunting a ninth Soul Ring so he could become the first test subject for a god-bestowed Inner Core Soul Ring.
• Qian Daoliu told Salas that, if his endurance was sufficient, the Inner Core Soul Ring might grant him a hundred-thousand-year ninth Soul Ring, stunning the gathering.

Salas absorbed the Angel God’s Inner Core to form a ninth Soul Ring, but his aging body could not withstand enough energy to reach one hundred thousand years. The leaders then agreed to protect soul beast territories and let Spirit Hall lead the production and distribution of Soul Ring Inner Cores.

• Qian Daoliu gave Salas the God-Bestowed Inner Core and explained how to absorb it, then stood guard as Salas swallowed it.
• Salas’s ninth Soul Ring deepened to black tinged with red before stabilizing just short of one hundred thousand years.
• Salas blamed his age and depleted constitution for failing to condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, and Qian Daoliu accepted that the Inner Core Soul Ring itself was not flawed.
• The leaders agreed to restrain their factions from encroaching on soul beast territories, while Spirit Hall prepared to produce Inner Cores and grant the other factions limited distribution rights.

The delegations agreed to gradually replace Soul Beast Soul Rings with Inner Core Soul Rings and to protect Soul Beast territories from human hunters. After the meeting, the Angel God's Divine Sense and Gu Yuena discussed the Power of Faith used in the Divine Miracle, and Gu Yuena looked toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Di Tian announced that the Star Dou Great Forest would send powerful Soul Beasts to guard territories across the continent, and Bibi Dong promised Spirit Hall would assist them.

• The delegations departed separately after declining Dai Tianfeng's offer of a banquet in Dragon Rise City.
• Gu Yuena questioned the Angel God's Divine Sense about using its remaining Power of Faith to create Salas's Inner Core Soul Ring.
• The Angel God's Divine Sense said Spirit Hall's Power of Faith reserves would grow through the reform, and Gu Yuena turned her gaze toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena assessed the risks of spreading faith through the soul beasts, while the Twin Gods of Time and Space concealed the Angel God’s manifestation and planned to distract the God Kings. As Spirit Hall’s changes reshaped the continent, two little girls arrived at Wang Zhao’s Dragon King Hall and asked if they were welcome.

• Gu Yuena considered stopping the faith plan if it attracted the God Realm’s attention, knowing Douluo was watched by several deities.
• Yu and Zhou concealed the Angel God’s manifestation from a Heavenly God Hunter, and Yu proposed stirring up trouble in the God Realm to keep the Five Great God Kings occupied.

Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Great Forest to enter human territory, while Er Ming was suddenly dragged into a space rift. Elsewhere, a boy near a human village looked ahead with anticipation and love in his eyes.

• Xiao Wu rejected Er Ming’s suggestion to stay near the forest and leave revenge for later, blaming the Ferocious Beasts for excluding them and refusing to help her family.
• Xiao Wu said goodbye to Er Ming and set off alone toward a human village, following the route and advice Aunt Rou had left behind.

• Xiao Wu felt a sudden sense of dread on her way through a dark tunnel but shook it off and continued forward.
• Near a human village, a boy in ragged clothes looked ahead with intense anticipation and love in his eyes.

• Gu Yuena used spatial power to capture Er Ming and bring it before Wang Zhao in a secluded space.
• Wang Zhao told Er Ming he was level sixty, and Er Ming realized Wang Zhao planned to make it his sixth Soul Ring.

• Wang Zhao recalled that Gu Yuena and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had joined Dragon King Hall and the Seven Dragon Maidens Team after he promised they could fight Shrek Academy.

• Wang Zhao promised that his Inner Core Soul Ring system and Spirit Hall's support would let him avoid harming relations between humans and Soul Beasts.
• Wang Zhao summoned the Platinum Dragon, Golden Scale, and displayed five Soul Rings in black, purple, black, black, and red.
• Wang Zhao recalled obtaining a Divine Level white dragon's Dragon Core, having Old Yi purify its resentment, and deciding to use it to evolve his First Soul Ring.

Wang Zhao and Gu Yuena confronted the Titan Giant Ape in the Silver Dragon King's Boundless Secret Realm, while Old Yi's work had raised Wang Zhao's First Soul Ring past ten thousand years. After Di Tian revealed Gu Yuena's identity as the Silver Dragon King, she prepared to help Wang Zhao kill the Titan Giant Ape for its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

• Old Yi gradually infused the White Dragon Dragon Core's energy into Wang Zhao's First Soul Ring, raising its age beyond ten thousand years.
• The Titan Giant Ape questioned Gu Yuena about helping Wang Zhao hunt it and asked whether Di Tian knew.
• Gu Yuena summoned Di Tian, and the Titan Giant Ape realized she was the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts and the Silver Dragon King.
• Wang Zhao explained that he had waited until Sister Xiao Wu left Star Dou and his Soul Power stabilized before targeting the Titan Giant Ape.
• The Titan Giant Ape asked Wang Zhao whether he had intended to harm Sister Xiao Wu, but Wang Zhao did not answer.
• Gu Yuena told Wang Zhao to act, and dazzling silver light and dragon claws tore through the space.

Wang Zhao absorbed the Titan Giant Ape’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, while arranging for its remnant soul to speak with the Sky Azure Bull Python’s remnant soul. He then prepared Golden Scale to absorb the Titan Giant Ape’s Left Arm Bone using the transformed energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Exotic Light Elixirs.

• Wang Zhao told Gu Yuena he would preserve the Titan Giant Ape’s remnant soul and try to revive it after becoming a god, and Gu Yuena thanked him.
• Wang Zhao began absorbing the Titan Giant Ape’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and shared the energy burden with Golden Scale.
• The Titan Giant Ape’s remnant soul asked Wang Zhao about his plans for Sister Xiao Wu, then spoke privately with the Sky Azure Bull Python’s remnant soul.
• The Titan Giant Ape asked Wang Zhao to give Sister Xiao Wu a chance, and Wang Zhao said her future choice would decide the matter.
• Wang Zhao stored the Titan Giant Ape’s corpse, revealed his six soul rings, and prepared Golden Scale to absorb the Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone.
• Golden Scale reappeared larger than three hundred meters long, with new earth-yellow patterns on his platinum body.

Wang Zhao tested the two soul skills from the Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone and the two skills from its Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring, discovering their formidable control and enhancement potential. After restoring the ground he had damaged, he judged the costly acquisition worthwhile.

• Wang Zhao merged the Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone into Golden Scale and tested Gravity Mire, which let it manipulate powerful gravitational force.
• Wang Zhao had Golden Scale unleash Titan Sky Shatter, blasting open the earth with a compressed force.
• Wang Zhao activated Limitless Earth and watched Golden Scale reshape the terrain with walls, spikes, barriers, and pits.
• Wang Zhao noticed Gu Yuena's displeasure and used Limitless Earth to restore the damaged ground, while Gu Yuena wondered whether her clone had influenced her behavior.
• Wang Zhao tested Sand Realm, which created a vast sandstorm, boosted Golden Scale's Light Attribute, and let him command the sand.
• Wang Zhao concluded that the four new soul skills made the steep cost of acquiring the Titan Giant Ape worthwhile.

Wang Zhao learned that his rise to Soul Power level 67 was partly due to energy from the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s soul bones. Gu Yuena explained how she had found the Dragon Kings’ corpses beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and planned to revive them, while promising to compensate Wang Zhao for the weakened soul bones given to Golden Scale.

• Gu Yuena identified the Dragon Kings as two of the Dragon God’s children and explained that she intended to revive them as powerful allies for the soul beast race.
• Gu Yuena promised to restore the weakened soul bones over time so Golden Scale would eventually receive two complete God-level Soul Bones.

Gu Yuena took the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ corpses and Dragon Cores to prepare a revival site, while Wang Zhao left the Star Dou Great Forest after absorbing the Titan Giant Ape’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone. He arrived in Nuoding City and found Old John being proudly honored by Spirit Hall, as Bibi Dong had arranged for him to be cared for.

• Gu Yuena agreed to raise Wang Zhao’s Third and Fourth Soul Rings in exchange for the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ Dragon Cores, and Wang Zhao let her take their corpses with compensation owed later.
• Gu Yuena placed the dragon corpses beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, concealed the area from Divine Will detection, and helped Golden Scale fuse the two Dragon King Soul Bones.
