Months later, Er Ming went to Devil Island to investigate a possible Shrek refuge, where the Seven Old Devils mistook him for an ally and called out Huo Yuhao.

• Huo Yuhao assigned creation to his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, destruction to his Ice Emperor Martial Soul, and reincarnation to his Reincarnation Domain.

Meanwhile, Jia Lin’s innate Rank 20 cultivation stirred the Young Genius List, and Gu Yuena set her the goal of claiming first place.

He declined to participate, leaving the selection about to begin and its potential recruits unknown.

• Snow Empress and Gu Ruiqiu explained that the Federation planned an open selection to fill vacant posts, recruit powerhouses, and prepare for war against the Abyss and other enemies.
• Huo Yuhao realized the selection resembled a world military draft, with the War God Temple master position and Heaven Forging Metal among its incentives.
• Gu Yuena described the virtual combat rounds and real-world regional events, but Huo Yuhao declined to compete and said he might only watch.

Tang Wulin asked Huo Yuhao to confirm who Old Tang was and whether his parents were gods, then learned that Old Tang was Sea God Tang San’s divine consciousness but his parents were ordinary people. Before preparing to break the Golden Dragon King’s seventh seal, Tang Wulin offered to help seal Old Tang if he threatened Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, and Huo Yuhao and Old Yi considered acting against Tang San’s divine consciousness.

• Electrolux sealed the Demiplane into an absolute domain, preventing Tang San's Divine Sense from escaping and costing him strength and memories.
• Huo Yuyao used Great Domain of Ten Thousand Ages to attack Tang San's Divine Sense, draining his Divine Consciousness and memories; Tang San suspected the move drew on White Clouds for a Thousand Years.

• Huo Yuhao’s Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages eroded Tang San’s Divine Consciousness and memories, leaving him unable to escape despite recognizing the dream.
• Tang San’s Divine Consciousness eventually surrendered and asked Huo Yuhao to protect Tang Wulin from the conflicts involving the Silver Dragon King, Tang San, and the Divine Realm.
• After forgetting most of its memories, Tang San’s Divine Consciousness became Old Tang, who still remembered that he was meant to protect Wulin and help him with the Golden Dragon King Seal.

• More than two months after the battle in the Undead Demigod Plane, Sima Jinchi and Yue Zhengyu arrived in Mingdu as the Federation selection began.
• Sima Jinchi considered challenging the reincarnated gods, but Yue Zhengyu explained that Huo Yuhao was tempering his body with seven-colored tribulation lightning.
• Gu Yuena watched Huo Yuhao condense Four Element Divine Lightning and judged that he was ready for its final step.
• Huo Yuhao drew the elemental storm into his body and repeatedly used his Reincarnation Domain and other abilities to survive until he mastered Four Element Divine Lightning.
• Huo Yuhao invited Gu Yuena to try condensing the lightning, offering his help as a safety net.

Huo Yuhao revealed that he intended to make his tool a Super Divine Tool, then suggested using a plane’s artifact as its foundation.

• Huo Yuhao proposed using a plane’s artifact as the foundation for his Super Divine Tool.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena recognized Sima Jinchi as the reincarnation of the Dragon Clan Law Saber and offered him a chance to learn his past and break through his limits. After Sima Jinchi accepted Gu Yuena as his master, the Heart of the Dragon God awakened his memories, revealed the Divine Realm war, and helped him break through to Titled Douluo.

• Gu Yuena offered Sima Jinchi a choice between remaining human and trapped at rank eighty-nine or accepting her as his master and learning his past; Sima Jinchi knelt and chose to follow her.
• Gu Yuena activated the Heart of the Dragon God, which awakened Sima Jinchi's memories and showed the Dragon God's madness and the war between the Dragon Clan and human deities.
• Sima Jinchi realized he had been a weapon rather than a human or Soul Beast, then broke through to Titled Douluo and gained his ninth Soul Ring.

Sima Jinchi learned that he was the Dragon Clan Law Saber and gained a new understanding of his power, while Gu Yuena watched his memories and questioned the accepted account of the Divine Realm war. Huo Yuhao revealed the Dragon God’s true history to her, leaving Gu Yuena stunned by how absurdly the Dragon God and Dragon Kings had acted.

• Sima Jinchi accepted his identity as the Dragon Clan Law Saber, and Gu Yuena told him to continue cultivating as a human rather than become a Divine Tool.
• Sima Jinchi learned that Huo Yuhao was human and that Gu Yuena expected him to be treated as her equal.
• Sima Jinchi explained that the Law Saber was a top-tier Divine Tool whose power against dragons could rival a Super Divine Tool, then left to prepare for the Federation selection.
• Gu Yuena told Huo Yuhao that the Law Saber’s memories had made her doubt the accepted account of the Divine Realm war, and she asked him to tell her the truth.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the Dragon God had gone mad after his son’s sacrifice, that the Dragon Kings had killed themselves, and that the Dragon God had forbidden Soul Beasts from becoming gods.
• Gu Yuena reacted with disbelief and anger at the Dragon God’s reasoning and the Dragon Kings’ choices.

Gu Yuena struggled with learning the Dragon God’s disgraceful past and feared how Di Tian, Jia Lin, and the others would react, but Huo Yuhao reassured her that she was not responsible for the Dragon God’s choices. They also discussed the Golden Dragon Spear and Tang Wulin’s progress toward breaking the Golden Dragon King’s seals, leaving Tang Wulin considering learning the Spear Dao.

• Gu Ruiqiu teased Huo Yuhao about Gu Yuena’s distracted mood, and Gu Yuena unexpectedly offered to let her inherit the Dragon God’s position.
• Huo Yuhao comforted Gu Yuena and reminded her that Di Tian and Jia Lin cared about her as Gu Yuena, not merely as the Silver Dragon King.
• Gu Yuena decided she would tell Di Tian and the others about the Dragon God’s past when she was ready and work to remove the prohibition against Soul Beasts becoming gods.
• Huo Yuhao told Gu Yuena that Tang Wulin had the Golden Dragon Spear and had broken through the eighth layer of the Golden Dragon King Seal; Gu Yuena let Tang Wulin keep the spear and considered extracting the Divine Core after the final seals.
• Tang Wulin offered the Golden Dragon Spear to Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao told him to keep it and suggested he study the Spear Dao.
• Tang Wulin accepted that he should keep the spear and began wondering where he could learn the Spear Dao.

Tang Wulin asked Tang Ziran and Lang Yue about the Golden Dragon Spear, but they concealed that they had found him as a child. He entered the Federation Selection Tournament in the Star Dou Battle Network, where he met Xie Xie, Huo Yuhao, and Hengyang Zixin, whose closeness to him drew notice.

• Old Tang urged Tang Wulin to ask his parents about his origins, and Tang Wulin used the Golden Dragon Spear as his reason to question them at dinner.
• Tang Ziran and Lang Yue denied knowing why the divine weapon was inside Tang Wulin, while privately worrying about revealing that they had adopted him; Tang Wulin suspected they were hiding something but chose not to press them.
• Tang Ziran and Lang Yue agreed to watch Tang Wulin compete in the Federation Selection Tournament, and Tang Wulin entered the Star Dou Battle Network the next morning.
• Tang Wulin met Xie Xie, who teased him about his near-mistyped nickname, then greeted Huo Yuhao and Hengyang Zixin, who had come to watch his match.
