Tie Li took out a special hexagonal token bearing a unique mark, one he had obtained from Sheng Dexun long ago.
To break free from his fate, Sheng Dexun had traveled to every corner of the Elemental Continent, glimpsing the truth behind those who held divine offices and uncovering the secret of those who had once ascended to godhood from the Elemental Continent.
In the end, he found this special token, but it seemed to have lost its effect on the Elemental Continent.
Tie Li needed to raise his Soul Power Level to level ninety-nine before he could undergo the final divine trial.

Standing atop Thunder God Sect's mountain, Tie Li looked down upon the changes within the sect.
With the mountain where Thunder God Sect stood as the center, five great mountains encircled it from the outside. Bing Ju and the other four had established the sect's rules. From now on, Thunder Pool would serve as the sect's main peak. Only clan members above the rank of Soul Douluo, after review and approval, would be qualified to enter.
The five clans each chose a mountain as a secondary peak to train Soul Masters. They would no longer limit themselves to members of their own clans, instead recruiting Soul Masters with other surnames. However, their backgrounds had to be clean, preferably civilian Soul Masters.
The Viper Clan in particular trained mostly orphans.
In the hidden corners of every city, there were more or fewer transactions of this kind. The Viper Clan members excelled at infiltration and intelligence gathering, learning of these organizations from certain major powers.
They would directly destroy those organizations and kill every person within them. The trafficked children would then be brought back to the sect
