• Xiling sent Yuanen Zhentian away with the unconscious Yuanen Yehui and left to gather life energy for the Seed of Life.

After Abyssal creatures appeared in the Far North, Xiling took command of the Federation’s response and went to the front line with Na’er and Gu Yue. As the Northern Legion withdrew to the fifth defense line, he left the two women to fight and channel purified Abyssal energy into the Seed of Life.

• Xiling returned to Mingdu after the Federal Parliament reported that Abyssal creatures had appeared in the Far North.

• Na'er and Gu Yue descended onto the northern battlefield, where Na'er absorbed Abyssal energy while Gu Yue protected her.

• At the Northern Frontline, Xiling sent Guo Zhenfeng to support Gu Yue and Na'er while he stayed behind for approaching reinforcements.
• Guo Zhenfeng charged the Abyssal creatures, killed a giant one with Annihilation Slash, and rallied the Northern Legion's soldiers.
• Dark Hummingbird appeared among the Abyssal army, revealed the Holy Spirit Cult's alliance with the Abyss, and attacked Guo Zhenfeng.
• Guo Zhenfeng shattered Dark Hummingbird's attack and fled toward Xiling, who summoned Na Nali to face him.
• Na Nali rang her bell to daze Dark Hummingbird and struck his chest, but the ensuing shock wave sent her retreating several steps.

Na Nali fought Dark Hummingbird with her Four-Word Battle Armor and Dark Bell, revealing that she rejected his claim that she belonged to the Holy Spirit Cult. Dark Hummingbird escaped, and Na Nali returned to Xiling, admitting she could not catch him.

• Dark Hummingbird recognized Na Nali and attacked her with Gale Cannon, but her Dark Bell disrupted his charge and her Four-Word Battle Armor resisted his poisoned stingers.
• Na Nali denied being a Holy Spirit Cult member and called herself an enemy of Evil Soul Masters, leaving Dark Hummingbird bewildered and furious.
• Na Nali unleashed waves of mental attacks against Dark Hummingbird while Guo Zhenfeng continued fighting the Abyssal creatures and Xiling supplied energy to the Seed of Life.
• Dark Hummingbird fled at full speed rather than risk fighting to the death, and Na Nali let him go because she could not catch him.
• Na Nali turned to Xiling and said she had failed to catch Dark Hummingbird.

After the Abyssal army retreated, Xiling revealed Na Nali’s allegiance and learned from Na’er that she had sensed a faint will resisting the Life Ancient Tree. From a peak overlooking the Far North, Xiling sensed that someone was misbehaving and sent a warning deep into the region.

• Na Nali joined Gu Yue, Na'er, and the Northern Legion in battle, helping drive the Abyssal army back after tens of thousands of creatures were killed.

At a military conference in the Far North, Yu Guanzhi and other leaders questioned whether Xiling and Bella could protect the tree from the God Level enemy.

• The Demon Empress watched Dark Hummingbird die from a distant attack and realized it was a warning from Xiling.
• Xiling showed Na'er and Gu Yue Honkai Energy, then said he planned to move the Life Ancient Tree to the Far North as bait for the Abyssal Sage King.

• Yu Guanzhi and other attendees warned that using the Life Ancient Tree as bait risked the Douluo Plane's survival and asked whether Xiling and Bella could stop the Abyssal Sage King.

Xiling secured support for his plan to transplant the Life Ancient Tree and use it to devour the Abyssal Plane. At the tree, he began severing its hidden connection to the Golden Ancient Tree at Shrek Academy, which could let Tang San’s mother reclaim control as the Douluo Plane’s life core.

• Leng Yaozhu and Yun Ming defended Xiling’s plan, and Chen Xinjie agreed to support it after making Xiling promise to answer for any harm to the Life Ancient Tree.
• Xiling ordered everyone to prepare for an Abyssal attack and announced that he would transplant the Life Ancient Tree the next day.

• Xiling touched the Life Ancient Tree in the Lake of Life and explained that a wisp of Tang San’s mother’s will could use its connection to reclaim the life core.
• Xiling traced a fine channel from the Life Ancient Tree’s roots through the earth to the Golden Ancient Tree at Shrek Academy.

Xiling severed the Life Ancient Tree’s connection to Ah Yin and killed her within the Golden Ancient Tree. He then transplanted the Life Ancient Tree to the Far North, where it absorbed the Golden Ancient Tree’s energy and grew into the Douluo Plane’s new Life Core.

• Xiling, Gu Yue, and Na'er transplanted the Life Ancient Tree to a snowfield in the Far North, where it absorbed the Golden Ancient Tree’s stored energy and grew to a hundred meters tall.

The Life Ancient Tree appeared in the Far North as the Golden Ancient Tree withered, and the Abyssal army surged toward it. Xiling confronted the Black Empress and unleashed overwhelming power that surpassed the god level, leaving the battlefield’s fate in his hands.

• Xiling confronted the Black Empress and activated all six Purple-Gold Soul Rings, multiplying his power until it surpassed the god level.
• Xiling’s pressure shattered the Black Empress’s armor, crushed the giant creature beneath her, and pinned down or destroyed much of the Abyssal army.

Xiling revealed power beyond god level and began wiping out the Abyssal and Holy Spirit Cult forces. After he killed the Dark Blood Fiend and sealed the battlefield, Ha Luosa accepted that he was unlikely to survive, even as the Demon Empress approached godhood.

• Ha Luosa reflected on the Holy Spirit Cult’s failed plans and accepted that he would fall while the Demon Empress neared godhood.
