• The God of Destruction sealed the Forbidden Divine Land with his Godhead, and Kong Ming'an added a barrier that sealed away information.
• The five God Kings broke the tower and its seals, releasing the Golden Dragon King’s power and furious roar.

• Kong Ming'an’s million-year Soul Ring changed from gold to rose gold and resonated with his fifth Soul Ring, the Silver Dragon God Ring.

Kong Ming'an drew the Golden Dragon King's origin into himself, stripping away its violent will and strengthening his power. When the Golden Dragon King realized he was being drained rather than merged with, he shattered his cocoon and broke free of his seal.

• The five God Kings activated the Five-Color Seal and exposed the Golden Dragon King's Dragon Cocoon.
• The Golden Dragon King sensed Kong Ming'an's bloodline and eagerly urged him to merge, while Silver Brilliance thoughts clouded his judgment.
• Kong Ming'an connected to the Dragon Cocoon and absorbed the Golden Dragon King's origin, purifying it and feeding it into his rose-gold sixth Soul Ring.
• The Asura God recognized a familiar aura in Kong Ming'an, but the God of Destruction told him they had to trust Kong Ming'an and not interfere.
• The Golden Dragon King realized his origin was being taken and that he could not close the channel, so he broke apart his Dragon Cocoon and escaped his seal.

Kong Ming'an destroyed the Golden Dragon King and triggered a brief Dragon God-like aura from the Gold-Silver Dual Soul Rings, which the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance suppressed. He returned to the Douluo Plane with Gu Yue and Qiu'er, while the five God Kings confirmed the danger was over.

• Kong Ming'an endured the Golden Dragon King's attacks while Silver Radiance erased its madness, memories, and information, leaving its Origin and divine power.
• The Gold-Silver Dual Soul Rings erupted with nine-colored light and released an embryonic Dragon God aura that put the five God Kings on alert.

• Kong Ming'an ended his fusion, took Gu Yue and Qiu'er through a Silver Brilliance Portal, and left the Forbidden Divine Land.
• The God of Evil and Asura God remarked on how closely the aura resembled the Dragon God's, while the God of Destruction declared the hidden danger eliminated.
• Kong Ming'an returned to the Silver Brilliance Tree with Gu Yue and Qiu'er, and Gu Yue relaxed after leaving the pressure of the God Realm behind.

Gu Yue and Qiu'er were overwhelmed by the attraction of the purified Golden Dragon King Origin carried by Kong Ming'an, and he sealed its aura with his Golden Dragon God Ring and Silver Radiance. Though the bloodline pull faded, Qiu'er and Gu Yue found their own desire for him even harder to ignore.

• Gu Yue and Qiu'er told Kong Ming'an that he smelled irresistible and that they wanted to eat him.
• Gu Yue clung to Kong Ming'an while Qiu'er held his arm, both struggling against the Golden Dragon King Origin's attraction.
• Kong Ming'an used his Golden Dragon God Ring and a branch of Silver Radiance to seal away the aura.
• Qiu'er and Gu Yue regained some clarity, but Qiu'er realized her personal desire for Kong Ming'an had grown stronger.
• Gu Yue asked Kong Ming'an what had happened, and he explained that the purified Golden Dragon King Origin was especially tempting to them.

Kong Ming'an explained how he would divide the Golden Dragon King’s power and origin between Gu Yue and Qiu'er to help them grow without limiting their potential. Gu Yue accepted the plan, and Qiu'er reluctantly accepted the origin, while both remained suspicious of his proposed method of “Dual Cultivation.”

• Kong Ming'an told Gu Yue that Qiu'er should inherit the Golden Dragon King Origin instead of Gu Yue.
• Kong Ming'an explained that taking the complete origin would risk restricting Gu Yue’s Element and spiritual power, while Qiu'er’s abilities made her the best successor to the Golden Dragon King.
• Kong Ming'an planned to give Gu Yue the Golden Dragon King’s divine power and energy, supported by plane energy and his God-Ascension Stairway, to help her reach God King level.
• Gu Yue encouraged Qiu'er to accept the origin, and Qiu'er finally agreed to inherit it.
• Gu Yue asked what Kong Ming'an meant by “Dual Cultivation,” and he said it was his method for transferring the power and origin to them.

Kong Ming'an explained that Gu Yue and Qiu'er needed to strengthen and harmonize their Dragon King Origins through staged dual cultivation. He proposed acting as the bridge between them, and Gu Yue objected to involving Qiu'er together before he pulled Gu Yue into his embrace and kissed her.

• Gu Yue and Qiu'er accepted Kong Ming'an's plan to transfer divine power and Origin gradually through dual cultivation.
• Kong Ming'an explained that Qiu'er would first become the new Golden Dragon King, then her Origin and Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King Origin would remedy each other's flaws.
• Gu Yue and Qiu'er objected when they thought Kong Ming'an wanted them to dual cultivate with each other, and he warned that their crude control could lead Gu Yue to devour Qiu'er.
• Kong Ming'an pointed out that he could serve as a safe bridge for their complementary Origins, and Gu Yue accused him of looking for an excuse to bully them.
• Gu Yue insisted that she and Qiu'er would take turns rather than dual cultivate together, and Kong Ming'an agreed that Gu Yue would go first.
• Kong Ming'an pulled Gu Yue into his embrace and kissed her before she could respond.

Kong Ming'an subdued Gu Yue with Golden Dragon King energy and took her into the bedroom, leaving Qiu'er outside to listen. Afterward, he came out and told Qiu'er that she was next, then clarified he would have his way with her outside.

• Kong Ming'an kissed Gu Yue and infused her with docile Golden Dragon King energy, overwhelming her and making her respond.
• Kong Ming'an used silver radiance to send Qiu'er outside the bedroom and shut the door on her.
• Qiu'er stayed outside, listened through the door, and eventually collapsed against it in a dazed, exhausted state.
• Kong Ming'an opened the door after finishing with Gu Yue and told Qiu'er it was her turn.
• Qiu'er tried to retreat, but Kong Ming'an held her and said he would not take her inside, only to add that outside would work too.

• The team reached the bottom and sensed an indescribably strange fluctuation of power in the darkness ahead.

Dong'er discovered an expanding Plane Rift and called Kong Ming'an, who arrived and learned from the Plane Will that the rift led to a powerful plane attracted by an old plan. He evacuated the others and sealed the rift, postponing any expansion until the Douluo Plane had finished processing its current gains.

• Dong'er discovered a Dark Purple Plane Rift forming on the seabed and reported it through the Ling Shu Network before calling Kong Ming'an.

Back at the dress hall, Meng Hongchen invited Kong Ming'an to see her special outfits, but Xu Tianzhen emerged from the changing room before he could answer.
