In the God Realm, the Asura God told the four God Kings that Mo Lin came from the world most closely connected to the Dragon God, prompting their concern that the Silver Dragon King might target him.

• Mo Lin passed the first six Asura trials, overcoming the Hell Staircase, lethal traps, killing intent, beast phantoms, and a fear trial that failed to manifest anything.
• Mo Lin defeated the first Asura God within the hour required for the sixth trial, raising his divine position affinity to 150%.

• The Asura God identified Mo Lin's world as the one most closely connected to the Dragon God, and the four God Kings worried that the Silver Dragon King might target him.

Asura God sent divine power to Mo Lin and ordered two divine officials to protect him, unaware that Mo Lin controlled their souls and was absorbing the power for himself. Mo Lin returned to Gengxin City, where his students and their soul-beast partners had made rapid progress, convincing Grace Hall’s elders and drawing visits from the Star Dou Great Forest’s ferocious beasts.

• The God Kings and Asura God discussed the danger to Mo Lin and decided to send him divine power while prioritizing his protection.

• Qian Renxue pursued Prince Xue Xing, but his faction controlled more territory; the subordinate kingdoms and duchies supported her through Spirit Hall.

Mo Lin traveled by carriage to Spirit City after reflecting on the limits of “Wind Queen's Arcane Gate” and “Grand Luo Insight.” He reunited with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue at the Papal Palace and asked what they planned to do about the Heaven Dou Empire’s division.

• Mo Lin broke the awkward silence by asking Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue how they viewed the Heaven Dou Empire’s division.

Mo Lin explained why the Heaven Dou Empire remained divided and argued that the split would let their side defeat its factions separately. He then revealed a new method of obtaining soul rings, leaving Bibi Dong impressed by its promise but concerned that few people could understand it well enough to spread it.

• Mo Lin told Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue that the Heaven Dou Empire's divided power and Qian Renxue's ruthless rise had made complete control unlikely.
• Mo Lin said they should maintain their standoff with Prince Xue Xing and take advantage of the empire's division as the continent approached chaos.

• Mo Lin gave Bibi Dong a booklet explaining the method, and she read its novel spirit theory.
• Bibi Dong judged the method feasible but warned that promoting it across the continent would be difficult because few people could understand its theories.

Mo Lin assured Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue that he had prepared demonstrators for his new soul-ring method and discussed Spirit Hall’s cautious role in the growing conflict. He revealed the Star Crown Clan’s plan to destroy the Dai Family and replace them, and argued that the continent’s chaos would draw out more enemies for Spirit Hall to confront.

• Mo Lin told Bibi Dong that people who had tested his new soul-ring method would demonstrate it to Spirit Hall.
• Mo Lin asked Qian Renxue whether leaving the Heaven Dou Empire was safe, and she explained that Spirit Hall controlled the officials remaining in Heaven Dou City.
• Qian Renxue questioned whether Grace Hall’s people would continue supporting Spirit Hall if they bore the costs of war, and Mo Lin said Spirit Hall would wait until the Star Crown Clan moved against the Star Luo Empire.
• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue admitted they knew little about the Star Crown Clan, so Mo Lin explained that the clan had contacted him and intended to destroy the Dai Family and replace them.
• Bibi Dong worried that the continent’s growing chaos would bring more losses, while Mo Lin said it would draw hidden forces and enemies into the open, giving Spirit Hall a reason to act.

Mo Lin left Bibi Dong’s room and returned to Qian Renxue, who accused him of pursuing the Snow Empress. After Mo Lin insisted they had no intimate relationship, Qian Renxue apologized and offered to try something different that night.

• Bibi Dong urged Mo Lin to leave so he could spend more time with Qian Renxue, and he said good night before returning to his room.
• Qian Renxue teased Mo Lin for coming back early, then dodged his attempt to pull her into his arms and asked him to explain his involvement with other women.

Mo Lin understood that Qian Daoliu wanted his help, but warned that Qian Renxue might refuse the inheritance because of what she had learned about her father.

• Mo Lin arrived at the Worship Hall, where Qian Daoliu tried to intimidate him with Soul Power, but Mo Lin remained unaffected.
• Mo Lin accused Qian Daoliu of causing the family rift by concealing the truth about his son from Qian Renxue.

• Mo Lin realized that Qian Daoliu wanted him to persuade Qian Renxue to pursue the inheritance.
• Mo Lin said he had intended to encourage Qian Renxue to inherit the godhood, but warned that she might not accept it now that she knew the truth about her father.

Mo Lin demonstrated a new method of obtaining soul rings to Spirit Hall’s elders and officials, showing that it had helped five students with ordinary talent gain unusually powerful first soul rings. He agreed to let the elders test the method with their disciples, but demanded honest records and that no soul beasts be harmed.

• Mo Lin gathered Spirit Hall’s elders and administrative personnel and had his students and the Craftsmen Association demonstrate their new soul-ring methods.
• The five students’ first soul rings, each older than five hundred and fifty years, shocked the audience, while the Craftsmen Association’s method impressed the Tool Soul Masters.
• Pufferfish Douluo asked Mo Lin for the method’s details so the elders could use it with their disciples, and Mo Lin considered letting them help test its effects on talented soul masters.
• Mo Lin explained that the method required an equal exchange of soul power between a soul master and a soul beast, and required detailed records of the results.
• Mo Lin warned the elders not to falsify data or harm the soul beasts, and they promised to follow his instructions.

Mo Lin followed Ling Yao to the deep-sea waters southwest of Douluo Continent, where he found the trail of Baxia and the Holy Hall Orca Clan. He approached a sea beast whose power surpassed five hundred thousand years of cultivation, while Baxia and the orcas remained under its control.

• Ling Yao told Mo Lin that his clan had found traces of Baxia and the Holy Hall Orca Clan in waters southwest of Douluo Continent.
• Mo Lin learned that the Spirit Dolphin Clan had grown stronger under his cultivation methods and dragon blood, but ordered Ling Yao and his clan to return rather than risk facing the powerful sea beast.
• Mo Lin reached the waters where Spirit Dolphins had detected repeated Soul Power fluctuations and sent Ling Yao and his clan back to Soul Beast Island.
• Mo Lin sensed the aura of a sea beast with more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation and swam toward it, worried about Baxia and the Holy Hall Orca Clan.
• The Abyssal Megalodon Colossus welcomed the arrival of his true target, while Baxia watched helplessly as the Colossus kept him and the Holy Hall Orca Clan trapped in the deep sea.

Mo Lin met Colossus in the ocean and learned that the ancient whale soul beast wanted him to purify Ming Jin’s corrupted Soul Power. The two recognized that they were pursuing the same goal, leaving open the possibility of working together.

• Mo Lin confronted Colossus and asked him to release his subordinates, but Colossus explained that fear alone kept them from leaving.
• Colossus asked whether Mo Lin had helped restore the Holy Hall Orca Clan, and Mo Lin confirmed that he could purify corrupted Soul Power again.
• Colossus asked Mo Lin about another whale-type soul beast near the continent, and Mo Lin identified Ming Jin as their shared concern.
• Mo Lin told Colossus that he had acted to prevent the tragedy suffered by Ming Jin and other whale-type sea soul beasts from continuing.
