Ning Rongrong and Oscar decided to negotiate with Huo Yuhao, while Oscar recalled how betrayals turned the Divine Realm battle against Tang San’s side and led to the disaster involving the Golden Dragon King.

Tang Wutong rejected the Seven Old Devils’ plea to save Shrek Academy, telling them its destruction did not concern her and refusing to help them find release. After she offered to handle any negotiations with Huo Yuhao, he learned from the old devils that the Butterfly God was Tang Wutong and considered the strength of his recovering companions.

• Oscar and Ning Rongrong recalled Tang San’s warning to avoid using God Rank power and to prepare for the Abyssal Sage King.
• Tang Wutong told the two old devils that the Qiankun Asking Love Valley belonged to the Butterfly God and Huo Yuhao would need to offer something suitable to obtain it.
• The old devils recognized Tang Wutong and begged her to save Shrek Academy and grant them release, but she refused because she disapproved of their military training and believed Shrek did not need to last forever.

• Huo Yuhao questioned the two old devils about their encounter and discovered that the being inside the valley was Tang Wutong.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena entered Qiankun Asking Love Valley to negotiate for it, while planning to keep its gods from joining Ah Yin and Tang Hao. After Gu Yuena suppressed the valley’s trial, Ning Rongrong and Oscar emerged to negotiate, and Oscar asked Huo Yuhao to explain what he knew about the Abyss.

• Huo Yuhao analyzed the information from Old Devil Desire and Old Devil Devour and concluded that powerful gods might be inside Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

• Oscar asked Huo Yuhao what he meant when he mentioned the Abyss.

Huo Yuhao explained the Abyss Plane’s invasion and Tang San’s role in drawing it to Douluo, prompting Tang Wutong to condemn the sacrifices made without people’s consent. He also recounted why Shrek Academy was destroyed, then offered the gods a choice of compensation for Qiankun Asking Love Valley; Ning Rongrong and Oscar chose to explore his secret realm with him and demanded a guaranteed minimum return.

• Huo Yuhao told Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Tang Wutong about the Abyss Plane’s invasion and Gu Yuena explained that Tang San had drawn the Abyss to Douluo as part of his plan.

• Ning Rongrong and Oscar chose to explore the secret realm together with Huo Yuhao and demanded an equal share of any gains plus a guaranteed minimum return.

Huo Yuhao brought Ning Rongrong and Oscar into the Eternal Domain, where they discovered he controlled a Super Divine Tool and had no intention of letting them leave. After realizing they were trapped, Oscar and Ning Rongrong surrendered and asked Huo Yuhao to spare them.

• Gu Yuena opened a portal to the Eternal Domain, and Huo Yuhao entered with Gu Yuena, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar while Tang Wutong stayed behind.

• Oscar concluded that Huo Yuhao might be a reincarnated God King from another Divine Realm, and he and Ning Rongrong surrendered and asked for mercy.
• Huo Yuhao accepted their surrender.

• Huo Yuhao told Oscar and Ning Rongrong that their Divine Realm had been swept toward a black hole and offered them the choice of joining the Divine Realm he intended to create.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the central war zone after refining Qiankun Asking Love Valley and offered Tang Wutong a place to stay where she could see Tang Wulin.

• Gu Ruiqiu fought Yuanen Zhentian for a semifinal place, while Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena watched and Tang Wutong learned that Gu Ruiqiu was an Auspicious Beast.
• Tang Wutong recalled that Rong Nianli had once offered Huo Yuhao the Emotion God Position, which Huo Yuhao had refused because he suspected Tang San’s schemes.
• Tang Wutong said Rong Nianli had left the Divine Realm and was expected to return someday; elsewhere, Rong Nianli wondered whether to intervene as a powerful plane devoured planets.

Rong Nianbing confronted the Crimson Domain while it devoured a planet, then fought its ruler, the Crimson Mother. He saved the planet’s survivors but failed to prevent its destruction, and he considered forming an alliance against the Crimson Domain.

• Rong Nianbing encountered the Crimson Domain invading a planet and killed the Demon King with a single slash, but the Demon King began to revive.
• Rong Nianbing revealed his Half-step God King-level strength, destroyed the invading forces, and faced the Crimson Mother, who confirmed that the Douluo God Realm had disappeared.

• Rong Nianbing drove the Crimson Domain away, but its forces devoured the planet’s remaining source while he fought the Crimson Mother.
• Feng Nu proposed that Rong Nianbing form an alliance with nearby God Rank experts, and he considered the plan while resenting having to work again.

The Crimson Mother chose not to fight Rong Nianbing and ordered her forces to keep him occupied while she pursued the Crimson Domain’s transformation. At the selection, Gu Ruiqiu joined Huo Yuhao and the others, and Qian Gu Qingfeng appeared as a contender for the War God Temple Master position.

• The Crimson Mother rejected a costly attack on Rong Nianbing and told her followers to monitor him without acting rashly.
• Yan Long reported that the Pegasus Twin Stars had no emerging Super God Rank powerhouse and that the Abyssal Sage King had made no progress after six thousand years of attacking a plane.

• Gu Ruiqiu joined Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena after losing to Yuanen Zhentian, met Tang Wutong, and complained about being called the Dragon God.
• Gu Yuena realized that Snow Empress knew the embarrassing stories about the Dragon God and redirected her attention to the next match.
• Huo Yuhao recognized Qian Gu Qingfeng as a renowned researcher and survivor from the era, while Gu Ruiqiu wondered whether the Qian Gu Clan wanted him to become War God Temple Master.

Di Tian and Huo Yuhao assessed the Qian Gu Clan's political ambitions while Qian Gu Die Ting urged Qian Gu Dong Feng to abandon his takeover plans. Qian Gu Qingfeng then faced the newly advanced Quasi-God Rong Tianling, whose chanting revealed a Soul Incantation adapted from magic.

• Di Tian suspected that Qian Gu Qingfeng's bid to become War God Temple Master supported a takeover, but Huo Yuhao argued that the Spirit Pagoda's God Rank powerhouses had made such plans unnecessary or impossible.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng reflected on his plan to exploit Shrek's destruction and the Federation's weakened position to bring the Spirit Pagoda to power.
• Qian Gu Die Ting urged Qian Gu Dong Feng to abandon those ambitions and suggested that Di Tian and the others had long known about the reincarnated deities.
• Qian Gu Qingfeng discovered that his opponent, Rong Tianling, had recently advanced to Quasi-God despite lacking battle armor.
• Di Tian questioned whether Rong Tianling was connected to Rong Nianbing, while Tang Wutong remained uncertain and Huo Yuhao examined her Fire Shadow Martial Soul.
• Rong Tianling blocked Qian Gu Qingfeng's Netherworld Slash and began chanting a Soul Incantation that Huo Yuhao and Old Yi recognized as adapted from magic.

Huo Yuhao identified Rong Tianling as a Douluo Continent Soul Master with a connection to Rong Nianbing, then watched her defeat Qian Gu Qingfeng in the arena. After investigating her records, he traveled to the western coast and found Rong Lingji, whom he linked to Rong Tianling through her Spirit Pagoda sponsorship agreement.

• Huo Yuhao and Di Tian concluded that Rong Tianling's Martial Soul cultivation was stronger than her magic and that she was connected to Rong Nianbing but was not his direct child.
• Rong Tianling used her flames and Soul Incantations to control the battle's rhythm, then defeated Qian Gu Qingfeng with a flame dragon after their strongest attacks collided.
• Huo Yuhao arranged a place for Tang Wutong's Divine Consciousness to recover in the Spirit Ascension Platform and assigned people to watch over her.
• Huo Yuhao checked Rong Tianling's records, obtained information from a Federal Councilor, and traveled to the western coast to find Rong Lingji.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Rong Tianling's identity records and her First Soul Spirit sponsorship agreement had led him to Rong Lingji, who had signed as her parent.

Huo Yuhao visited Rong Lingji, learned how the god had been stranded on the Douluo Continent, and uncovered the truth about Rong Tianling’s origins. After Huo Yuhao identified Tianling as a likely future master of the War God Temple, the story left her selection victory seeming all but assured.

• Huo Yuhao met Rong Lingji at his home, and Rong Lingji asked which god he was before explaining that he had been curious about Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
• Rong Lingji told Huo Yuhao that he had come to the Douluo Continent two thousand years earlier and became stranded there when the Divine Realm disappeared.
• Huo Yuhao described the Divine Realm’s turmoil, including the Space-Time Turbulence and the Golden Dragon King’s rampage, and Rong Lingji realized he had escaped disaster by leaving.
• Huo Yuhao deduced that Rong Tianling was not Rong Lingji’s biological daughter, and Rong Lingji admitted that he had adopted her a hundred years earlier while his wife and daughter were away.
• Huo Yuhao told Rong Lingji that Rong Tianling was anything but an ordinary secluded Limit and was poised to become the War God Temple’s future master.

Huo Yuhao refused to negotiate a partnership with Rong Lingji, believing the Federation did not need to rely on him to face the Abyss. As Rong Tianling won the War God Temple selection and joined the Federation, Huo Yuhao shifted his attention to passing news of Yehui to the Holy Spirit Cult, whose Ghost Emperor identified her as a potential ally.

• Huo Yuhao told Rong Lingji that he had only visited out of curiosity and argued that Rong Lingji could join the Federation rather than negotiate as an equal.
• Rong Lingji insisted his true cultivation and knowledge made him a valuable partner, but Huo Yuhao left and said he would wait for him in Mingdu.
• Huo Yuhao told the Ice Empress that Rong Lingji would eventually come to them and decided to send the Holy Spirit Cult news about Yehui after the Federation selection ended.
• Rong Tianling won the selection and became master of the War God Temple, while Yuanen Zhentian joined the Federation and Qian Gu Qingfeng declined its offer.
• The Dou Ling Empire and Star Luo Federation grew worried after learning of the Federation's powerful new recruits, while a Dou Ling official privately noticed Rong Tianling's resemblance to a former imperial consort.
• The Ghost Emperor received Lan Fozi's report identifying Yehui as Yuanen Zhentian's daughter and considered capturing her to gain a Titled Douluo with a Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

The Ghost Emperor used Lan Fozi’s intelligence to suspect that Er Ming had helped Yehui suppress her Fallen Angel Martial Soul, while Huo Yuhao directed Lan Fozi to keep feeding the Holy Spirit Cult information. Huo Yuhao then began making a Natal Soul Tool, leaving Ling Zichen increasingly suspicious of his connection to the Spirit Ice Douluo and astonished to learn that Source Cores could evolve.

• The Ghost Emperor read Lan Fozi’s conjecture that Er Ming was the Yuanen Clan’s ancestor and might have helped Yehui, then considered how the information could be used to create trouble for the Federation.
• The Ghost Emperor learned the Federation might be interested in the Demon Plane and decided the Holy Spirit Cult needed to find an opportunity to capture Yehui.
• Lan Fozi told Huo Yuhao that the Holy Spirit Cult wanted her to monitor Yehui, and Huo Yuhao instructed her to report Yehui’s movements and accept two Sea Soul Beasts as subordinates.
• Huo Yuhao went to the Spirit Pagoda’s Soul Guidance Research Institute and asked Ling Zichen to use the completed Single Positive Circulation Source Core technology to manufacture his Natal Soul Tool.
• Ling Zichen questioned whether a Source Core was safe or could evolve, and Huo Yuhao assured her it could evolve and would remain stable in his hands.

Huo Yuhao refined a Source Core from Godly Alloy and brought Ling Zichen to the Spirit Pagoda’s basement to forge his Natal Soul Tool. He drew on the faith stored there and began an extraordinary creation that left Ling Zichen overwhelmed.

• Huo Yuhao built a reactor and refined a Source Core from his Soul-Forged Godly Alloy while Ling Zichen watched.
• Huo Yuhao refused Ling Zichen’s request for Godly Alloy and took her to the Spirit Pagoda’s first basement level.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that the Spirit Pagoda had gathered and purified faith for ten thousand years through a Divine Consciousness beacon he had left behind.
• Huo Yuhao drew on part of the stored Power of Faith and formed it into a nine-story pagoda as the basis for his Natal Soul Tool.
• Huo Yuhao began engraving Soul Guidance Arrays and infusing the unfinished tool with Law imprints and divine flames, while Ling Zichen struggled to follow the process.

Huo Yuhao completed the Spirit Pagoda, a sentient Natal Soul Tool that he considered a divine-tool blank, and confirmed his identity as the Spirit Ice Ancestor to Ling Zichen and Qian Gu Die Ting. He left the Spirit Pagoda’s leadership unchanged for now and began testing the tower’s amplification functions, though its full might remained unknown.

• Huo Yuhao fused faith, nine laws, and the law of reincarnation into the tower, completing the Spirit Pagoda’s initial form.
• Qian Gu Die Ting arrived after receiving permission, and he and Ling Zichen bowed to Huo Yuhao as the Spirit Ice Ancestor.
• Huo Yuhao declined to reveal his return publicly or replace Dong Feng as Tower Master, and told Qian Gu Die Ting to focus on the Spirit Pagoda’s future.
• Huo Yuhao left to test and nurture the newly formed Spirit Pagoda, while Qian Gu Die Ting and Ling Zichen discussed his return and concealed identity.
• Huo Yuhao tested the Spirit Pagoda’s durability, self-repair, and law-based abilities, then considered how its amplification might raise his power to Second Rank God level.
