Ye Qingcang recruited Yue Ye to help him claim the Saint Demon Continent as a foothold for expanding into the wider universe, and she accepted despite the danger posed by a God King. She asked to use his name by publicly declaring herself his woman, provoking Sheng Cai’er as Ye Qingcang carried her away.

• Sheng Cai'er killed the fleeing Man Faced Demon Spider with her Green Bamboo Staff, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion erupted in anger at the loss of its prey.
• Ye Qingcang offered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion one or two replacement Man Faced Demon Spiders, but Scarlet King insisted the humans had offended the Emperor Auspicious Beast and all soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Scarlet King insulted Ye Qingcang and attacked, so Ye Qingcang struck it dozens of kilometers away and warned it not to speak to him that way.

After describing his alchemy and its ability to restore or create soul beasts, he rejected mass-producing them for Soul Masters and hinted that his plan would redirect the conflict onto Soul Masters.

• Ye Qingcang told Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Scarlet King that he was an Asura God Test Taker from another world, but was negotiating on his own behalf rather than representing a Divine Realm.

• Ye Qingcang used a projection to explain that he came from a different star system and asked Di Tian to invite the Silver Dragon King to negotiate.

After Ye Qingcang explained that he came from another star system and corrected her understanding of the universe, she concluded that his presence could bring conflict between their Divine Realm and another.

• The Silver Dragon King inferred that a second Asura God Test Taker could provoke conflict between Divine Realms, since the Asura God who ascended ten thousand years ago would not tolerate Ye Qingcang.

Ye Qingcang offered the Silver Dragon King two bargaining chips and three deeper points to secure the soul beast race’s support. When she examined the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she discovered Tang San had altered her soul, leaving the Silver Dragon King gravely weakened but determined to join the fight against the Asura God.

• Ye Qingcang told the Silver Dragon King he had come to negotiate an alliance and introduced the Soul Ring Manufacturing Machine and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s condition as his first two bargaining chips.

• The Silver Dragon King tested the Soul Power to Soul Ring Machine and noted that its soulless rings had a lower upper limit.

• Ye Qingcang outlined plans for trade, integrating transformed soul beasts into human society, and joint competition and resource management.
• Di Tian and the other soul beasts realized the proposal could shape both races’ futures, and Di Tian felt relieved he had not obstructed the negotiations.
• The Silver Dragon King agreed to the three areas of cooperation but proposed that Ye Qingcang marry her if he absorbed the Golden Dragon King with her help, or otherwise use their bond or marry a mutually loving soul beast woman to support peace.
• Ye Qingcang accepted, and the Silver Dragon King agreed that their mutual commitment did not require a written contract.
• Ye Qingcang summoned the Asura God Sword and asked to borrow the location so he could exploit the Divine Realm’s time difference, retrieve the sword’s scabbard, and resolve the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s problem with the Silver Dragon King as witness.

Xiao Wu followed the Asura God Sword’s summons to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Ye Qingcang and the Silver Dragon King revealed that Tang San had split Tang Wutong’s soul and joined half of it to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

• Xiao Wu realized Tang San had abandoned them and vowed to make Da Ming and Er Ming pay, while Little Seven and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fought over their shared body.

Ye Qingcang recruited Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu as an ally against Tang San, and the Silver Dragon King hinted that she might increase her support for him.
