Yuwen Tuo persuaded the Flame Lord to let him and his companions seek divine trials, explaining why the Fire God's inheritance land also held a path to the Water God's trials. In the Divine Realm, the Fire God recognized Yuwen Tuo as the heir he had been waiting for, while the Water God remained unsure whether any of the girls could inherit her godhood.

Yuwen Tuo and his companions reached the deepest part of the Divine Fire Purgatory, where three divine artifacts guarded against the demonic flames, and prepared to undergo the gods’ trials.

Two months later, Jiang Peng gained his seventh soul skill, and Yuwen Tuo judged its power to be near the limit of his current strength.
