• Qian Daoliu told Chen Hong that the Angel God had gone missing, then reported that Evil Spirit Orcas were scouting the waters near the Sea Soul Islands.

• At dawn, Qian Daoliu spotted black dorsal fins approaching across the sea, signaling the arrival of the Evil Spirit Orcas.

The Evil Orca King brought nearly a hundred adult Evil Spirit Orcas to meet Qian Daoliu and Chen Hong, taking precautions because it feared the human powerhouse might rival legendary Level 99 experts. As Sea Soul Island panicked at the approaching black mass, Chen Hong realized the tribe meant to announce its arrival rather than attack and suspected Bai Xie's Sage Module had helped the Evil Orca King behave more reasonably.

• Chen Hong suspected Bai Xie's Sage Module had helped resolve the Evil Spirit Orcas' evil-spirit attribute and made the Evil Orca King easier to approach.

Chen Hong reflected on the origins and decline of soul beasts as a swarm of Evil Spirit Orcas approached, and a vision of a Dragon-shaped Black Shadow pierced his thoughts. The Evil Orca King surfaced and addressed him as “Human.”

Chen Hong accepted the Evil Spirit Orca Tribe’s surrender and negotiated to equip every orca with a Sage Module, while sensing an ominous karmic connection and possible visions linked to the vanished Dimensional Star Chart. As the tribe escorted him and Qian Daoliu across the sea, the Evil Orca King explained the ocean’s division between shallow and deep waters, prompting Chen Hong to ask about the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

• Chen Hong sensed that the Evil Spirit Orcas’ submission had entangled him in karma and suspected his visions might be connected to the Dimensional Star Chart.

• A burly black-and-purple man held a fat bug that objected to being called a Million Year Soul Beast and asked to leave.

Chen Hong completed Spirit Hall’s agreement with the Evil Spirit Orca Tribe and established a continent-spanning mental spatial coordinate for Bone Spirit Huang before returning to Douluo Continent. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Valley, he received renewable Weakened Gaze-Through Autumn Water Dew to help him master his new Soul Eye.

• Chen Hong removed his eye bandages and accepted the dew as Golden Crocodile and Dugu Bo reacted with astonishment to his Soul Eye.

Chen Hong’s Formless Bone Soul Eye completed its fusion with him, revealing its striking seven-colored appearance and prompting discussion of how he perceived others. After applying Weakened Gaze-Through Autumn Water Dew, Chen Hong’s eyes seemed slightly brighter, though he could not yet feel a clear change.

• Chen Hong’s Formless Bone Soul Eye completed its form, stabilized its abilities, and perfectly fused with him.
• Chen Hong asked Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Dugu Bo whether his eyes looked strange, then described the glowing figures he perceived through Psychic Power.
• Chen Hong told Dugu Bo that his green glow likely came from toxins concentrated in his Head Soul Bone, which seemed to have evolved.
• Chen Hong applied Weakened Gaze-Through Autumn Water Dew to his Soul Eye, but felt no immediate difference when he looked toward the sun.
• Qian Daoliu observed that Chen Hong’s eyes had grown brighter and described their layered, seven-colored appearance.

Chen Hong reopened his Black Lotus Soul Eye in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Valley, but the strain left him pale and bleeding, so Qian Daoliu helped him recover with Immortal Grade fruits. As Qian Daoliu asked how Chen Hong had torn apart his Angel Martial Soul True Form, Chen Hong began explaining Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body, leaving the cause of his own attack unresolved.

• Chen Hong opened his Black Lotus Soul Eye, struggled against a powerful force, and suffered blood tears from the strain.

• Chen Hong said the Weakened Gaze-Through Autumn Water Dew had reduced the burden of opening his Soul Eye and showed the others his clenched fist.
• Qian Daoliu asked how Chen Hong had torn apart his Angel Martial Soul True Form, surprising Dugu Bo and Golden Crocodile.
• Chen Hong brought up Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body, explaining that it could withstand even Qian Daoliu’s attack for one second.

Chen Hong explained that Xiao Wu’s Invincible Golden Body resisted mortal attacks through the structure of its Soul Power particles, but divine sense could control and destroy those particles. He revealed a tiny red-and-blue fragment as a Soul Crystal (Core).

• Dugu Bo guessed that Invincible Golden Body was not truly invincible, and Chen Hong confirmed he was right.
• Chen Hong showed Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Dugu Bo a tiny translucent fragment with a faint red-and-blue hue.
• Chen Hong explained that Invincible Golden Body formed a sturdy Soul Power structure that could withstand attacks beyond Xiao Wu’s realm, though it consumed her Soul Power.
• Chen Hong said divine sense could control microscopic matter and destroy Soul Power particles, making such attacks a god’s Dimensionality Reduction Strike.
• Chen Hong named the fragment in his hand a Soul Crystal (Core).

Chen Hong explained how his Psychic Power could interfere with Soul Power and revealed the immense potential behind his Black Lotus Soul Eye. He gave Qian Daoliu a Soul Power Core Seed to test, leaving Qian Daoliu concerned that its attributes might not suit him.

• Chen Hong reasoned that divine consciousness could disrupt Soul Power Particles, and that his Black Lotus Soul Eye let him perceive and potentially control them through his powerful Psychic Power.

• Chen Hong offered Qian Daoliu a Soul Power Core Seed and pointed out an Immortal Herb Soul Beast suited to forming a Soul Power Core.
• Qian Daoliu accepted the seed, then questioned whether its red-and-blue attributes were a poor match for him.

After Qian Daoliu swallowed the Soul Power Core Seed to refine it, Chen Hong left him under Golden Crocodile Douluo’s guard and took Dugu Bo toward Heaven Dou City. On the way, they saw the Technology Guild’s Soul-Powered farming machines at work across the Heaven Dou Plain, and Chen Hong approved of their development.
