• Mitsuki and Dai Weisi disguise the assault as Dai Mubai accidentally hurting Tianyue. Bai Ranmo joins in the humiliation, urging Dai Mubai to thank her. Furious and in pain, Dai Mubai complies.
• Just as Tianyue begins to “forgive” him, a figure appears above Liyue, displaying nine Soul Rings—including seven red ones and two gold ones—before a tenth gold ring descends.

Character developments and interactions

Themes

The chapter centers on powerlessness and shifting status: once Dai Mubai loses his political standing, others feel free to punish him. It also uses deception, public performance, and humiliation for dark comedy, with Mitsuki treating emotional reactions as a resource. The sudden arrival of a figure with an unprecedented tenth Soul Ring ends the scene on a cliffhanger.

Plot points and events

• Zhongli breaks through to true godhood, publicly declaring himself the Geo Archon. His divine aura spreads across the world, and he displays ten Soul Rings and the Vortex Vanquisher.

• In Slaughter City, Tang Chen senses the aura and mistakenly suspects Qian Daoliu has become a god—and might claim Bo Saixi. The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King continues to suppress Tang Chen. Tang San, newly emerged from the Hell Road, learns what happened and believes his future Asura godhood will rival Zhongli’s.
• Bo Saixi decides she must visit the newly ascended god. She invites Neuvillette, but he refuses, insisting that even gods must answer to his judgment. Bo Saixi goes to Liyue alone.

• Ambition, rivalry, and destiny: Several characters measure their own or their allies’ paths to godhood against Zhongli’s breakthrough.
• Public spectacle and political advantage: Liyue’s broadcasts turn the ascension into a display of prosperity and power—and a source of Emotion Points.

• Seeing Zhongli’s ascension, Gangzi becomes enraged and decides he must become a god quickly. He reasons that killing Zhongli is impossible and turns his attention to the dagger beside him, implying he may pursue the alternative of castrating himself.

Plot points and events

• Gangzi faces Rakshasa God’s Eighth Trial: he must kill a God’s successor, or his brother must leave him. Unable to harm his longtime companion himself, he asks Xuanwu to help.
• Xuanwu fires an Energy Ball at Gangzi. The attack causes immense pain, but Gangzi survives; however, Gangzi believes the blast also killed his brother, leaving no trace behind.
• Gangzi discovers that completing the Seventh Trial earned him 15% Rakshasa Affinity, a random-year God-Given Soul Ring, and a Rakshasa God Soul Bone Set.
• Hoping for a powerful ring, Gangzi uses the Soul Ring reward. It cycles through several colors before becoming white: a Ten-Year Soul Ring. Overcome with despair, he screams and farts, while Xuanwu backs away and later reassures him that becoming a god may raise the ages of his rings.

Character developments and interactions

• Gangzi’s desperation for godhood leads him to accept humiliation and extreme measures, though he cannot bring himself to cast out or harm his brother directly. He remains convinced that future divinity will make up for his present losses and weakness.
• Xuanwu is surprised by Gangzi’s request, then appears sympathetic while carrying it out. He praises Gangzi’s endurance and offers consolation about the disappointing reward, though his suppressed amusement—and his private knowledge of Gangzi’s trials—makes his concern seem insincere.
• Gangzi’s relationship with Xuanwu is increasingly hostile: despite requesting help, Gangzi once again vows privately that Xuanwu will pay for what he has done.

Significant themes

• He checks the Rakshasa God’s Eighth Trial: within five years, he must either kill Tang San or severely injure him. Killing Tang San earns more divine affinity.
• Gangzi becomes enraged at Tang San’s own opportunity to inherit a god’s power and decides to use his former disciple’s life to advance his own ascension.
• In Liyue, Qian Renxue and Bai Ranmo see Qian Daoliu emerge disappointed after Bo Saixi rejects his romantic overtures. Bai Ranmo teases him, briefly lifting his spirits.
• Itadori reports that the Geo Archon told him a Grand Priest may not need to sacrifice himself if a successor can open the ninth trial independently. She also suggested Itadori himself might be able to inherit a divine position—and that the same possibility may apply to Qian Daoliu.
• Qian Daoliu briefly imagines becoming a god and winning Bo Saixi’s affection, but dismisses the idea because he would not want Qian Renxue to endure additional hardship.
• Ningguang announces that the Geo Archon must stabilize her power and will give blessings the following year; Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi agree to attend.

Character developments

• Qian Daoliu remains devoted to Bo Saixi but demonstrates that duty and concern for Qian Renxue outweigh his romantic hopes or desire for godhood.
• Itadori becomes a potential candidate for divine inheritance, while also encouraging Qian Daoliu to consider that his own future may not be limited to sacrificing himself.
• Bai Ranmo continues to act as a blunt, irreverent source of humor and comfort for Qian Daoliu.

Significant themes

• Betrayal and revenge: Gangzi interprets Tang San’s actions as a personal betrayal and turns divine advancement into a motive for killing him.
• Duty versus personal desire: Qian Daoliu’s affection for Bo Saixi and curiosity about godhood are ultimately secondary to his responsibility toward Qian Renxue.
• The cost of inheritance: The possibility of bypassing a Grand Priest’s sacrifice offers hope, but raises concern about the burden placed on successors.
• Bathos and irony: Gangzi’s grand hopes for divine power collide with the humiliating, foul-smelling nature of his Soul Bone set.

Character interactions

• Bai Ranmo mocks Qian Daoliu’s repeated rejection by Bo Saixi but also helps ease his disappointment.
• Itadori openly shares the Geo Archon’s revelation with Qian Daoliu, prompting both hope and reflection.

• Dai Tianfeng and Zhu Tiancai failed to recognize Dai Mubai at first, and Mitsuki and Dai Weisi blamed his black skin on drinking too much soy sauce.
