Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tried to persuade Ice Empress and Snow Empress to avoid their coming tribulations by becoming companion divine beasts to a human who could ascend to godhood. After Tianlin revealed his Asura God Test, the Empresses understood the plan, but Snow Empress rejected Ning Rongrong as an unworthy candidate.

• Snow Empress offered her godson Xiao Bai, a nearly three-hundred-thousand-year-old Ice Bear with water-and-earth attributes, as an alternative Wisdom Spirit Ring, and Tianlin accepted the offer.

Tianlin found that the spatial passage to the Flame Lord’s hidden dimension could not be opened until he obtained his eighth Spirit Ring, so Snow Empress took him and Ning Rongrong to find Xiao Bai.

Tianlin and his companions calmed the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, and Snow Empress invited him to leave the Far North with her and become Tianlin’s Wisdom Spirit Ring. Xiao Bai agreed and began sacrificing his spirit ring and spirit bone to Tianlin.

He then prepared to use his new spatial ability to investigate the strange space in the Far North before Ice Empress and Snow Empress departed.

Tianlin and Ning Rongrong discovered that the Far North site belonged to Fire God, who explained how it screened candidates for his inheritance. As Fire God warned Tianlin about the danger of his space ability, he also revealed that Sea God's trials could ruin Ma Hongjun's fire potential.

• Fire God explained that surviving the Far North was the first trial for fire-attribute candidates and told Tianlin that his Ultimate Fire was too limited to qualify for the inheritance.

• Tianlin decided Ma Hongjun should first take part in Sea God's supplementary trials, but Fire God warned that Sea God's water-infused rewards could disrupt Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire and prevent it from reaching Ultimate Fire.

Tianlin rejected the Fire God's dangerous demonic-flame training proposal for Ma Hongjun, but agreed that Hongjun and Xiangxiang should decide for themselves. On the journey home, Tianlin and Ning Rongrong prepared for her departure to Sea God Island, and he proposed that they hold a simple wedding first.

• The Fire God offered to strengthen Ma Hongjun by having him cultivate among demonic flames, warning that he could either gain the potential to become a Level One God or become a terrifying demon.

• Tianlin and Ning Rongrong recounted their journey to the Far North, and Ning Fengzhi and the others celebrated their new ranks and Tang Hao's death.
