• Qian Renxue sits on the imperial throne, reviewing military and political reports and considering whether to send news to Spirit City or return personally.
• She believes her victory has given Spirit Hall control of the Heaven Dou Empire and could allow it to begin unifying the continent once the Worship Hall formally takes over.
• Qian Sha Yu, speaking from within her mind, mocks her for relying on Qian Daoliu and criticizes the Qian family for possessing overwhelming power but refusing to use it.
• Qian Renxue defends her grandfather, arguing that Qian Daoliu must preserve the continent’s balance because Tang Chen and Bo Saixi are also Peerless Douluo.
• Qian Sha Yu reveals that this “balance” no longer exists:
  • Tang Chen has been corrupted by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King during the Asura God Trial and has become a mindless slaughtering monster.
  • Bo Saixi is bound to Sea God Island by the Sea God’s rules and cannot leave.
  • Qian Daoliu is therefore the only fully mobile and truly peak Peerless Douluo on the continent.
• Qian Sha Yu further claims that Qian Daoliu’s real reason for avoiding combat is that he is preparing to sacrifice himself as the essential key to Qian Renxue’s Angel God Trial. He must avoid serious injury so his body and power remain intact.

• Yue Guan and Gui Mei use their ultimate technique: Realizing that Qian Sha Yu has become a merciless killing machine, the two elders risk everything and activate their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Two Extremes Still Domain.
