Bibi Dong’s accelerated Rakshasa Divine Examination intensified her paranoia while Qian Daoliu focused on Qian Renxue’s progress. At the Three Sects Alliance, Ning Fengzhi weighed the worsening fronts with Ning Rongrong, whose maturity and doubts about arranged suitors left her uncertain about finding a genuine connection.

• Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa Divine Power magnified her anger and paranoia as her Divine Examination advanced, while Qian Daoliu concentrated on Qian Renxue’s examination.

• Ning Rongrong analyzed the war’s fronts and impressed Ning Fengzhi with her understanding of the Northern Frontier’s strength.
• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi that although she had met capable young Soul Masters, none felt right to her, since she doubted their interest was separate from her status.

Ning Rongrong remembered her distant friend Snow White, who continued her Aurora Divine Examination alone, while the Nine-Colored Deer’s Auspicious Aura spread across the Star Dou Great Forest and strengthened her bond with the world.

• Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen sensed powerful fluctuations from the Star Dou Great Forest and recognized that something extraordinary was happening there.

The Nine-Colored Deer ascended to godhood in the Star Dou Great Forest, drawing attention from rulers and Soul Beasts across the continent.

• Xiao Wu learned from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that the Nine-Colored Deer had become a god and quietly congratulated it.
• Xiong Jun and Bi Ji watched the Nine-Colored Deer’s ascension, while Myriad Demon King sensed its auspicious power accelerating growth throughout the forest.
• Human Soul Master teams entered the forest seeking the rumored treasure, driving Soul Beasts deeper and causing territorial clashes and rising killings.
• Spirit Hall sent a Platinum Bishop and more than twenty Soul Masters into the forest to investigate the new god and possible changes among the Soul Beasts.

The Nine-Colored Deer reshaped the Star Dou Great Forest to drive out human hunters, while Spirit Hall defeated the Star Luo Empire and seized its capital. The remnants of Star Luo joined the Three Sects Alliance, which renamed itself the Comprehensive Alliance as its relationship with Eva’s Northern Frontier grew strained.

• Spirit Hall, the Three Sects Alliance, and Star Luo Empire forces searched the Star Dou Great Forest, drawing more hunters into the forest and causing Soul Beasts to be killed in increasing numbers.
• The Nine-Colored Deer sensed the forest’s fortune unraveling, changed its paths, and caused hunters to collapse or become lost until survivors fled and rumors of treasure faded.

After the Star Luo Empire fell, Ning Fengzhi warned that Eva’s expanding Northern Frontier forces had become a dangerous third power, while Bibi Dong celebrated Spirit Hall’s victories and nearness to her divine trial’s end. Tang Hao searched for the missing Tang San, and Xiao Wu gathered with Zhu Zhuqing and Rapunzel in Bright Moon City.

• Dai Tianfeng reported that Eva’s forces had seized northern towns before Star Luo’s messengers arrived, and Ning Fengzhi cautioned that neither her strength nor her armies could be underestimated.

As the Fairytale Empire and Spirit Theocracy squeezed the Comprehensive Alliance from north and south, Ning Fengzhi secretly slowed intelligence reaching the alliance while the Clear Sky Sect considered submitting to Eva. Both invading armies then crossed the alliance’s borders, and the Fairytale Empire advanced through territory the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had left almost undefended.

• The Spirit Theocracy and Fairytale Empire expanded across the fallen Star Luo Empire, forcing the Comprehensive Alliance’s borders to contract.
• Ning Fengzhi read Eva’s reply to his submission and began subtly delaying reports about the Fairytale Empire’s movements.

In the Dragon Realm, Xisu refused Di Tian’s offer of help until he became a god, prompting him to begin cultivating toward that goal.

• The Fairytale Empire and Spirit Theocracy captured the Comprehensive Alliance’s territory as its command system failed, and Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao prepared their forces to withdraw.

• Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue to rest and recover before attempting the final Angel God trial, then watched her leave the Worship Hall with unspoken worry.

• Ning Fengzhi worked through dossiers at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's temporary base while Gu Rong told him Ning Rongrong was outside.
• Ning Rongrong left the courtyard to walk through Bright Moon City and spotted Rapunzel outside her clinic.
• Rapunzel invited Ning Rongrong into the clinic courtyard, where they sat beneath an osmanthus tree and talked about the clinic.

Ge Duo, meanwhile, began absorbing a Godhead Seed to transform her power, leaving her in the middle of a process that would require time.

• Ning Rongrong remembered visiting Ge Duo at the Icefire Yin Yang Well and how Ge Duo's research had evolved her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
• Rapunzel told Ning Rongrong that Ge Duo was in Bright Moon City and had recently focused on a breakthrough, but Ning Rongrong decided to wait before seeking her out.

• Bo Saixi sensed the Angel God’s power and recalled how Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had visited Sea God Island seeking a way beyond their limits.
• Bo Saixi realized Qian Daoliu had sacrificed his life to ignite the final door to the Divine Domain and resolved to walk the same path when Ariel completed her divine examination.
• Eva stood by a window in the Fairytale Empire’s imperial palace, sensing something distant.

After sensing Qian Renxue’s ascension as the Angel God, Eva set aside routine administration to deepen her understanding of the Beauty Goddess’s Authority. Gu Yuena anticipated exploiting a future clash between Xisu and the God Realm, while Ning Fengzhi gained influence in the Fairytale Empire and the Clear Sky Sect struggled to keep pace.

• Eva recognized Qian Renxue’s divine aura and decided she could no longer delay her cultivation as Bibi Dong approached godhood.
• Eva delegated routine administrative duties and began comprehending additional rules of beauty, including Beauty of All Things, Beauty of Growth, and Beauty of Aging.

• Xiao Wu and Er Ming reached the Lake of Life, where Da Ming greeted her.

In Bright Moon City, Ning Rongrong visited Ge Duo and reflected on how much steadier she had become since the Soul Master Tournament.

• Ning Rongrong visited Ge Duo at her residence in Bright Moon City's western district, where Ge Duo remarked that Ning Rongrong had become steadier since the Soul Master Tournament.

Ning Rongrong secured Ge Duo’s agreement to resume pill cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, though with reduced supplies. The Clear Sky Sect’s attempt to negotiate was rejected because Ge Duo remembered Tang Hao’s attack at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, while a more violent change began in the deep sea.

• Seventh Elder decided the Clear Sky Sect should set the matter aside, while a major change unfolded in the distant deep sea.
