• Oscar joked with the mercenaries about his past in the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City, and they teased him about his claims.
• Snow White declined Florian's suggestion to return and continued deeper into the Far North with him.

Ariel saw him off and learned that he planned to find a quiet place on the mainland amid the war between Spirit Hall and the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance.

• Ice Snow Queen recognized that Snow White's fused ice-and-light aurora attribute could meet the Aurora Ruins' requirements, so she planted subtle clues to guide her there.
• Lin Wan decided to leave Sea God Island after completing four Sea God trials, since deeper analysis of the Sea God's authority could bind him to the divine seat.

• Qian Renxue remembered Eva's quiet farewell and accepted that Eva had acted for reasons of her own.
• Lin Wan guessed Eva had joined the alliance to gain more Reputation Points after her fame as Heaven Dou Empress had begun to plateau.
• Lin Wan suspected Eva wanted a larger stage because other fairy-tale figures had received divine trials while Eva had not been chosen.

Qian Renxue refused to make Bai Xue choose between her mothers, and Qian Daoliu began explaining that Spirit Hall’s battlefield deadlock left room to address another matter.

• Qian Daoliu said Spirit Hall could not advance while the alliance held it in a protracted stalemate, and began explaining that the lack of an immediate external threat created an opportunity.

Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu she was ready to begin the Angel God's Trial, and he promised to protect Xue'er and Eva while she was away. The next morning, Qian Daoliu began the trial, enveloping Qian Renxue in golden light as the Angel God's inheritance entered her mind.

• A Soul Master approached Tang San, and Tang San's killing aura made him recoil before he identified himself as a Clear Sky Sect disciple sent by the Clear Sky Douluo.

• Tang San read Tang Hao’s letter, found no mention of Cinderella, and pressed Zhao Wu for her whereabouts; Zhao Wu said he knew nothing and led him toward the sect’s camp.

• After traveling for several days, Tang San and Zhao Wu reached Clear Sky City, the Clear Sky Sect’s new headquarters.
• At the headquarters’ entrance, four Clear Sky Sect disciples sensed Tang San’s abyssal murderous aura and reacted with alarm.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall Empire prepared to attack Eva’s Northern Frontier with three army corps, while Ge Duo supplied pills to bolster its defenses.

• Tang Yuehua told Tang San that Cinderella had traveled on her own and that Tang Hao would have to explain where she went when he returned.
• Tang Yuehua showed Tang San the carefully prepared room and welcomed him home, but Tang San decided to seek information rather than wait for Tang Hao.

• Bibi Dong told Qian Daoliu that Spirit Hall had sent three legions toward the Northern Frontier because taking it would expose the Three Upper Sects to attacks from both sides.

• Tang Hao told Tang San he did not know where his sister was, but she had sent letters confirming she was safe; Tang San took the letters and began reading them.

• Eva told Dugu Bo that Spirit Hall’s three Titled Douluos were approaching the Northern Frontier.

Eva reassured Dugu Bo that the Northern Frontier planned to use his poison against Spirit Hall Empire’s army rather than pit him against its Title Douluos, while Ge Duo adjusted his medicine. In the wounded soldiers’ camp, Rapunzel healed the injured and advanced her healing power and Divine Examination, then approached an old soldier whose arm had been severed.
