• Yue Guan received Bibi Dong’s order to invite Liu Hao in, and Liu Hao said he had come to join Spirit Hall.

• Liu Hao used his staff shadows to strike Gui Mei, who conceded after being injured, and the two agreed to put their earlier conflict behind them.

• Liu Hao decided to seek a speed-type avian soul beast and considered evolving both martial souls to prepare for Qian Daoliu.
• Liu Hao arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest and asked the system to scan a towering tree’s life value.

Liu Hao evolved his Azure Nether Staff into a god-king-level Heaven-Reaching Ambrosial Arbor Wooden Stick by devouring trees and tree soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. After learning the next evolution’s requirements, he secretly ventured toward the Lake of Life, where a wary voice challenged him.

• Liu Hao devoured thirty trees and evolved his Azure Nether Staff into the god-level Kunlun Divine Wood Wooden Stick.
• The system required him to devour 300 trees with life values of at least 10000, so Liu Hao searched for enormous trees and discovered that tree soul beasts had far higher life values.
• After devouring enough trees and tree soul beasts, Liu Hao evolved his martial soul into the god-king-level Heaven-Reaching Ambrosial Arbor Wooden Stick, which gained the spatial attribute.

• Liu Hao identified Da Ming and Er Ming and assured them that Xiao Wu was safe, though he privately planned to visit Shrek Academy to meet her and other women.
• Da Ming and Er Ming challenged Liu Hao, but they eased their suspicions after he showed that his Soul Rings carried no resentment from slain Soul Beasts.
• Liu Hao explained that his god-king-level Heaven-Reaching Ambrosial Arbor Wooden Stick needed to eat trees, and Da Ming and Er Ming let him search the forest.
• Liu Hao searched more than ten thousand trees but found none with a Life Value above 100,000, so he asked the system why.
• The system told Liu Hao that the only qualifying tree was the sleeping Demon-Eyed Tree, the Myriad Demon King, in the depths of the Lake of Life, and Liu Hao feared his Martial Soul could no longer evolve.

Liu Hao began seeking a second martial soul and encountered Bai He and his granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, while they hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest. After frightening them away by revealing his power, he caught up and asked to befriend Bai Chenxiang, leaving Bai He suspicious of his age and intentions.

• Liu Hao abandoned his pursuit of a martial soul beyond God King level and searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a bird soul beast to use as his second martial soul.
• Liu Hao found Bai He and Bai Chenxiang beside a dying Pale Golden Bird and introduced himself as a twelve-year-old level 99 Limit Douluo.
• Bai He panicked at Liu Hao's strength and fled with Bai Chenxiang, leaving the bird behind.

• Liu Hao asked Bai He for the bird's body and permission to befriend Bai Chenxiang, and Bai He accused him of being an adult predator.
• Bai He questioned Liu Hao's claim that he was twelve and asked what level his soul power was.

• Liu Hao told Bai He he was a descendant of a God King and said he wanted to be friends with Bai Chenxiang.

• The poisonous miasma made Bai Chenxiang collapse, and Liu Hao caught her and used his soul power to expel the toxins.
• Bai Chenxiang recovered, while Bai He questioned why Liu Hao had brought them to the dangerous site.

Liu Hao brought Bai He and Bai Chenxiang through Dugu Bo’s poison miasma to seek an opportunity for Bai Chenxiang. After Dugu Bo mistook Bai He for Qian Daoliu, Liu Hao revealed his overwhelming strength, struck Dugu Bo down, and then tried to save him as his poison turned against him.

• Liu Hao reassured Bai He and Bai Chenxiang, maintained a protective barrier, and led them into the poison miasma.
