• Xu Tiance spread moonlight across hundreds of meters and repeatedly leaped between Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, Kong Deming, and Du Busi.
• A rainbow-like dome appeared in the sky, and a dazzling beam descended to envelop Xu Tiance before Kong Deming could protect him.

• The God of Space warned Xu Tiance that the Space Corridor was the most difficult trial and wished him good luck.

After completing the Seven Elemental Gods’ trials, Xu Tiance woke and confirmed that he had inherited their Godhoods, astonishing Kong Deming, Du Busi, and the others. At the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena sensed the gods’ auras and considered the implications of Xu Tiance receiving seven trials at once.

His attempt ended almost immediately when the flames consumed and clashed with his own, but he resolved to study the failure and try again.

• Xu Tiance's consciousness entered Burning Heaven Purgatory, where a voice explained that he had to cross seven fire domains and pluck the undying fire lotus at the center of the seventh.
• Xu Tiance shielded himself with fire-element power, but the flames of the first domain devoured his barrier and burned his legs.
• Xu Tiance tried to push his own flames outward to devour the surrounding fire, briefly easing the pain before the competing flames exploded.
