He ended by answering Qian Xunji’s question about raising a child with a quote advising him to kill anyone who could sway the child’s ambitions.

Lin Fan recounted Tang San’s early days at Shrek Academy, including his training, conflicts with his teammates, and journey into the Star Dou Great Forest. The story left off with Tang San gaining the rare external soul bone he named the Eight Spider Lances, which later helped him win the Continental Elite Tournament.

• Lin Fan told Qian Xunji and the others how Tang San enrolled at Shrek Academy, fought Zhao Wuji, and was rescued when Tang Hao beat Zhao Wuji.
• Lin Fan described Flender disciplining Ning Rongrong, the Shrek Seven Devils’ combat training at the Great Soul Arena, and the conflicts among the students.
• Lin Fan recounted how Oscar reached rank thirty and joined the others on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, where they encountered the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
• Er Ming appeared after sensing Xiao Wu and took her away, while Tang San chased after them and reached rank thirty after being blasted back.
• Tang San encountered and killed a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, then absorbed its external soul bone and named its eight legs the Eight Spider Lances.
• Lin Fan explained that the Eight Spider Lances greatly strengthened Tang San and helped him defeat the Martial Soul Team in the Continental Elite Tournament.

Lin Fan explained how Tang San’s external soul bone and poisoned hidden weapons defeated Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation, prompting Qian Xunji and the others to consider how to stop Tang San before he could grow stronger. Qian Xunji then visited Qian Daoliu, who wondered why the Angel God had lost to the Sea God.

• Lin Fan explained that Hu Liena’s team lost because Tang San used fragments of his Eight Spider Lances as poisoned hidden weapons, and he recounted Hu Liena’s later training in Slaughter City.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei proposed killing Man Faced Demon Spiders to prevent Tang San from gaining an external soul bone, but Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji rejected the plan as impractical and contrary to Spirit Hall’s rules.
• Qian Xunji declared that Spirit Hall would stop Tang San before he reached the age to hunt soul beasts, and Bibi Dong and the others agreed.
• Qian Xunji visited Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile to ask whether Qian Daoliu would attend his wedding; Qian Daoliu agreed but asked that his identity not be widely announced.
• Qian Daoliu asked Qian Xunji how the Angel God had lost to the Sea God despite both being First-Level Gods.

Qian Daoliu questioned why Qian Renxue had lost to Tang San after inheriting the Angel God’s position, and Lin Fan explained that her troubled state of mind left her divine inheritance incomplete. Lin Fan added that even a perfect inheritance might not have let her defeat Tang San, whose opportunities and eventual Asura God King power gave him a decisive advantage.

• Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, and Golden Crocodile discussed the Angel God’s defeat and decided to ask Lin Fan about it after breakfast.
• The next morning, Qian Daoliu asked Lin Fan why Qian Renxue had been unable to defeat Tang San when both held First-Level God positions.
• Lin Fan explained that Qian Renxue’s childhood, missed opportunities, and poor state of mind during the Angel Trials kept her affinity from reaching full and made her inheritance incomplete.
• Lin Fan said that a perfect inheritance might have prevented Qian Renxue from losing so badly, but Tang San’s better opportunities and protagonist halo still favored him.
• Lin Fan revealed that Tang San’s ultimate trump card was the Asura God King’s divine position, whose power far surpassed that of a First-Level God.

Lin Fan explained why Qian Renxue had been weaker than Tang San despite both inheriting First-Level God positions, and discussed the Angel God’s absence from the Divine Realm. Qian Daoliu left Lin Fan’s residence with the others, still weighing what he had learned.

• Lin Fan explained that God Kings vastly outclassed First-Level Gods, and that Qian Daoliu had eased Qian Renxue’s Divine Trial, lowering her affinity with the Angel God’s Divine Position.
• Lin Fan contrasted Qian Renxue’s trial with Tang San’s harsher trials under Bo Saixi, saying Tang San’s perseverance raised his affinity above one hundred percent.
• Lin Fan said the Sea God had exposed Qian Renxue’s Ninth Trial to people on Sea God Island, angering Qian Daoliu, and suggested the Angel God had probably left the Divine Realm.
• Lin Fan explained that the Angel God’s Divine Position preserved her cultivation insights and authority even without her presence, though Qian Renxue lacked a deity to support her.
• Qian Daoliu accepted that Qian Renxue had been inferior to Tang San, then left Lin Fan’s residence with Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei.

Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, and Bibi Dong planned how Spirit Hall could pursue divine inheritances while avoiding the Sea God’s interference. Lin Fan tried to touch the strange threads he could see, then Bibi Dong asked him about the requirements for inheriting the Sea God’s godhood.

• Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji agreed with Bibi Dong that destroying Sea God Island could provoke the Sea God, and Bibi Dong proposed sending candidates to seek his inheritance instead.
• Qian Daoliu ordered Spirit Hall to prepare Qian Renxue for the Angel God’s trial, send promising young Soul Masters to Sea God Island, and search coastal cities for Sea Soul Masters.
• Qian Daoliu advised Bibi Dong to delay seeking the Rakshasa God’s inheritance until she reached Soul Douluo unless she found another divine opportunity.
• Qian Daoliu noticed that Lin Fan’s mental power seemed abnormal, though Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong could not detect anything unusual.
• Lin Fan tried to straighten two white threads before his eyes, but stopped when the attempt caused a faint headache.
• On the third day, Bibi Dong asked Lin Fan how difficult it was to inherit the Sea God’s godhood and what qualifications a candidate needed.
