• Mu En concluded that Shrek Academy and other factions had ways out, but the Three Great Empires could not all avoid confronting Spirit Hall.

• Qingluan used a Milk Bottle-shaped Soul Tool to restore his Soul Power, activated his Martial Soul Avatar, and invited Lü Chengkun to fight.

• Electrolux pointed out that Huo Yuhao’s dorm arrangement with the girl might have been planned, and Huo Yuhao promised to pursue cultivation without laziness.

Ye Qingcang and Mu En’s exchange shook Shrek Academy and revealed the overwhelming spiritual power behind their attacks. Ye Qingcang conceded, and Bibidong proposed using the upcoming Soul Master Competition to decide how resources would be allocated between the two worlds.

• Ye Qingcang’s punch and Mu En’s Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Rend overwhelmed many Titled Douluo and Shrek students with their spiritual pressure, while Sky Dream Ice Worm protected Huo Yuhao.
• Ye Qingcang’s punch collided with Mu En’s claw light, producing a colossal pillar of energy that vaporized clouds but left Poseidon Lake largely intact.

• Lü Chengkun and the other Titled Douluo agreed that the fight had to stop before Shrek Academy suffered more casualties.
• Bibidong proposed that the two worlds divide resources according to the results of their Soul Master Competitions, and Mu En and the others accepted.

Mu En used Spirit Hall’s willingness to negotiate to establish Shrek Academy’s authority, then led the factions into Poseidon Pavilion to discuss the Soul Master Competition and their interests. The negotiations began with eight representatives seated around the table, while students injured in the earlier turmoil were treated in the Outer Court.

• Heavenly Martial Douluo and the other faction leaders pleaded for Mu En to support negotiations, and Mu En agreed to discuss the Soul Master Competition’s resources and format.
• Ye Qingcang asked Bibidong to approve the meeting, and she agreed while warning that no one could detain her or her people.
• Mu En sent Yan Shaozhe and Old Zhuang to maintain order in the Outer Court, while Medical Immortal Douluo joined them to treat the injured students.
• Mu En led Ye Qingcang, Bibidong, Sheng Cai'er, and the others to Poseidon Pavilion, where eight representatives took their seats.
• The meeting began, and the factions started negotiating how to divide specific interests.

Ye Qingcang proposed that both sides contribute ninety percent of their resources to a nine-round Soul Master Competition, prompting objections from Princess Vina and a sharp rebuttal from Bibidong. Mu En settled the contribution at seventy percent and turned the discussion to match rules and contestant requirements.

• Ye Qingcang proposed nine rounds, with both sides contributing ninety percent of their resources and each round’s champion allocating one-ninth of the prize pool.
• Princess Vina objected that leaving only ten percent of the resources would endanger the Heaven Dou Empire’s people and Soul Masters.
• Bibidong argued that ninety percent of Heaven Dou Empire’s resources already went to one percent of its population, exposing the empire’s unequal distribution of wealth.
• Mu En proposed reducing contributions to fifty percent of each side’s actual resource value, but Bibidong countered with seventy percent.
• Mu En accepted the seventy-percent contribution and asked Ye Qingcang and Bibidong for preliminary ideas on the nine matches and contestant requirements.

Bidong proposed a sweeping overhaul of the Soul Master Competition, and the factions accepted her framework. The discussion turned to team rewards, event logistics, and the rotating host cities for future competitions.

• Bidong proposed opening the competition to major sects, empires, kingdoms, and Commoner Soul Masters, with nine events awarding separate team and individual champions.
• Bidong said team champions’ rewards would be distributed by their captain, and representatives approved the arrangement.
• Mu En asked about participant numbers, venue capacity, and the competition’s location after the factions raised no further objections to Bidong’s proposal.
• Bidong estimated that the largest events could attract up to two hundred thousand Soul Masters and said the competition would alternate between the two worlds every ten years.
• Bidong explained that hosting the competition would bring major economic benefits, and Xu Jiujiu and the other representatives agreed.

Bibidong proposed dividing the Nine Divisions into age-based and special tiers, with team and individual battles determining how resources were allocated between the worlds. The Dou Two representatives accepted her terms and agreed that champions could choose which faction to join, leaving both sides looking for opportunities to recruit talent.

• Bibidong proposed six age-based divisions and three special divisions, including one without restrictions, and said worlds that lost every division would forfeit resources.
• The Dou Two factions hesitated to oppose Spirit Hall because of its strength and its ties to Ye Qingcang and potential God Trial Takers.

• Bibidong agreed that champions could choose where to go, provided both worlds followed the same rule, and Dou Two's representatives accepted.

The factions of the Dou Two World argued over how to divide the resource burden for the Soul Master Competition, with Shrek Academy exempt and conflicts erupting within the empires. After four hours, the meeting adjourned for local factions to negotiate, and Ye Qingcang discussed Xu Jiujiu’s approach to Huo Yuhao with Jiang Nannan.

• The Three Great Empires and other factions disputed who should cover Shrek Academy’s share of the resources, while the Douling Empire refused to bear the extra burden alone.
• The Body Sect rejected demands to contribute more than the noble houses and academies, threatening to withdraw or use its strength to seize the resources it needed.
• The Xingluo Royal Family faced a dilemma as White Tiger Duke Dai Hao sat with Shrek Academy’s powerful group, risking a shift in the nobles’ loyalties.
• After four hours, the negotiations adjourned for three days of discussion among the Dou Two World’s local factions, and the Spirit Hall group left Poseidon Pavilion.
• Jiang Nannan worried that Huo Yuhao could be deceived by the Xingluo Princess, and Ye Qingcang explained that Xu Jiujiu would use sincerity rather than exploitation to win him over.

Ye Qingcang planned a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest and Sun Moon Empire before returning to Dou One, while Jiang Nannan chose to remain behind and manage the Sky Merchant Guild. Bibidong explained Spirit Hall’s plans to Hu Liena and resolved to stay in Dou Two to recruit talent, gather intelligence, and eliminate the Rakshasa God.

• Ye Qingcang told Jiang Nannan and Sheng Cai'er that he would visit the Star Dou Great Forest, then the Sun Moon Empire, before returning to Dou One, and considered bringing the Saint Demon Continent into the competition.
• Ye Qingcang decided to visit Yue Ye after returning to Dou One, while Jiang Nannan stayed behind to lead the Sky Merchant Guild; Ye Qingcang and Sheng Cai'er planned to leave the next morning.
• Hu Liena questioned why Spirit Hall needed to notify Qian Renxue in person, and Bibidong explained that even Ye Qingcang could not avoid making the trip himself.
• Bibidong told Hu Liena that she would remain in Dou Two to recruit talent, gather intelligence, and keep local forces from acting against Spirit Hall.
• After Hu Liena left, Bibidong concealed the damp stain on the sofa and strengthened her resolve to kill the Rakshasa God.

In the God Realm, the Water God and the God of Desire challenged the Rakshasa God over her cruel trials for Bibidong, while she defended them as a way to cultivate resentment. The Water God then questioned the Rakshasa God’s claim that she could recommend promising God Trial Takers, since true inheritors had to meet strict standards and survive mandatory trials.

• The Water God and the God of Desire warned the Rakshasa God that her extreme sensitivity trial could drive Bibidong to hate her or suffer a breakdown.
• The Rakshasa God argued that humiliating Bibidong would build resentment, which suited the path she intended to cultivate.

• The chapter explained that God Trial Takers could be expendable, but inheritors had to be highly capable candidates with a strong chance of passing their trials.

The Rakshasa God explained how the God Realm’s factions faced a deadly competition in which gods had to choose God Trial Takers as their cards. She said she and the Angel God had chosen successors long ago, while gods who had delayed were now in danger.

• The Rakshasa God told the Angel God to explain whether the lower realm held many geniuses, and she said she could assemble a reinforced platoon of them.
• The chapter outlined the three God Realm factions and explained that gods from different factions had gathered because the two God Realms had merged.
• The gods learned that the ten God Kings’ competition would purge those who stayed out, while selecting a God Trial Taker could delay judgment and offer a chance to survive.
• The Rakshasa God and Angel God were shown to have chosen successors in advance, while the God of Desire, Water God, and Nine Colors Goddess faced the risk of choosing poorly at the last minute.
• The rivalry between the two Asura Gods and the possibility of other gods joining the conflict made the competition’s stakes expand, leaving nearly every god without a way to retreat.

Angel God and Rakshasa God revealed potential inheritors on Douluo Continent to the gathered gods, while several goddesses discussed the difficulties of choosing candidates. The gods were left weighing their options, including whether Ye Lingling would be willing to accept a God Servant position and God of Speed’s concern about her counterpart’s choice.

• Angel God confirmed that Shui Bing'er, whose martial soul was an Ice Phoenix, and Shui Yue'er, whose martial soul was a Firefly Jade Dolphin, could suit Water God and Ice God as inheritors.

• Angel God revealed that Rakshasa God's candidate was God of Desire's God Test Taker's disciple, and God of Desire thanked Rakshasa God for the suggestion.
• Nine Colors Goddess said she had chosen Ye Lingling, but Ye Lingling liked Ye Qingcang, the Asura God Test Taker, leaving her unsure whether to persuade Ye Lingling to change her feelings or choose someone else.
• The gods considered that Ye Lingling could become a God Servant and take a God Test if she and Ye Qingcang were devoted to each other.
• God of Speed complained that her counterpart in another Divine Realm had chosen Zhu Zhuqing as her God Test Taker and married God of War, then questioned whether Zhu Zhuqing's figure hindered her speed.

The gods discussed the political pressures that had led Zhu Zhuqing to become the God of Speed in the other God Realm, and Angel God resolved to counter Poseidon and Asura God Tang San by expanding their own ranks. They assigned potential God Trial Takers to several divine positions and left the gods preparing further candidates.

• God of Desire argued that Zhu Zhuqing would have suited her divine position, while Rakshasa God explained why the other God Realm's Zhu Zhuqing had inevitably become the God of Speed.
• Rakshasa God blamed the Old Asura God for the deaths and losses suffered by Bibidong and Qian Renxue, and Angel God recalled how Tang San's actions had violated the God Realm's rules.
• Angel God decided to recruit more successors to challenge Tang San's growing faction and assigned Zhu Zhuqing to God of Desire while arranging a contest between Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong for the Nine Colors Goddess position.
• Angel God and the other deities discussed candidates including Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Dugu Yan for God of Love, Yue Shen, and Poison God.
• Rakshasa God proposed Bai Chenxiang for God of Speed, suggested candidates for Thunder God and Wind God, and urged the gods to find positions for Sheng Cai'er and Violet.

Rakshasa God explained why Ye Qingcang attracted talented friends and discussed how the gods chose successors. The gods sent their divine consciousness to the Douluo Continent to select God Trial Takers, while Rakshasa God and Angel God anticipated that their competition would bring turmoil.

• Rakshasa God reflected that Ye Qingcang valued shared interests over status, though his reputation drew geniuses who hoped to become his friends.
• Rakshasa God lamented that Ye Qingcang's twenty-four trainees had died in the Heaven Dou Empire's palace coup and judged several potential substitutes too weak for high-level godhood.
• Rakshasa God explained that she would replace Bibidong if she found a better candidate and wanted her successor's other half to be Ye Qingcang.
• God of Desire, Water God, Ice God, God of Speed, Nine Colors Goddess, and the other female gods sent their divine consciousness into the Douluo Continent to seek God Trial Takers.
• Angel God asked Rakshasa God whether she would wait, and Rakshasa God joined her for coffee as they agreed the gods' race to choose candidates would cause upheaval in the lower realm.

The God of Desire entered Zhu Zhuqing’s dream to offer her the Desire God Nine Trials, but Ye Qingcang’s golden chains trapped her in Zhu Zhuqing’s Spiritual Space. Zhu Zhuqing heard her proposal but insisted on consulting Ye Qingcang before deciding.

• The God of Desire explained that she had chosen dream entry to approach Zhu Zhuqing and hoped to recruit her as a God Test Taker without altering her memories or soul.
• Ye Qingcang’s golden chains sprang out in Zhu Zhuqing’s Spiritual Space, bound the God of Desire’s divine sense, and pulled Zhu Zhuqing’s soul into the space.
• Zhu Zhuqing questioned the masked woman, who identified herself as the God of Desire and explained that Ye Qingcang’s safeguard was suppressing her divine power.
• Zhu Zhuqing apologized for Ye Qingcang’s actions but kept the God of Desire bound and doubted that she was suitable to inherit the divine position.
• The God of Desire said Zhu Zhuqing’s struggle against desire had attracted her and offered the Desire God Nine Trials.
