Chen Hong explored the Dragon Bone Disk beneath Ice and Fire Lake and discovered a Soul Orb inside the Ice Dragon King’s skull. The Ice and Fire Dragon Souls rejected Chen Hong and Ye Lingling, leaving them uncertain how to claim the inheritance.

• Chen Hong inspected the Dragon Bone Disk and realized that removing its dragon bones would disrupt the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s energy-gathering effect.

The Snow Empress and Chen Hong faced the 700,000-year Becoming a God Thunder Test, which Chen Hong saw as the God Realm’s execution of soul beasts. The Snow Empress joined him as the Ice and Snow Emperor Robe, and Chen Hong endured the destructive thunder as his Life Lotus Ring repeatedly restored and strengthened his body.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Souls suffered beneath the unshielded tribulation, and Chen Hong said they could withdraw if his soul could not endure.

• Chen Hong and Ye Lingling fused life, destruction, and Chen Hong's divine soul to create Pure White Power that let the Creator withstand the heavenly thunder.
• Ye Lingling explained that Chen Hong's power separated their wills from their Soul Bodies, so they watched from the side while the thunder tempered them and tormented the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls.
• Chen Hong taunted the dragon souls and celebrated using the lightning tribulation to turn their strength against them.
• Snow Empress asked how long the tribulation would last, and Chen Hong reassured her and Ye Lingling that they could withdraw if needed.
