• Qian Daoliu agreed that Spirit Hall would cooperate with Lin Xiao on Soul Spirit technology but asked for proof and reassurance about divine involvement.
• Lin Xiao sensed the Asura Blood Sword mark and entered a separate space, where Asura, Goodness and Evil, Destruction and Life, and Poseidon each offered him a divine inheritance.
• Poseidon proposed giving Tang San a rigged Sea God trial and, if Tang San failed, assigning him the God of Wild Dogs’ divine seat; Tang San sneezed, unaware of the scheme.
• Lin Xiao asked why his sixth Soul Skill could not fully affect karma and whether he could inherit all the God Kings’ divine seats.

Lin Xiao accepted divine power and weapons from five God Kings, then revealed to Qian Daoliu that the Angel God had fallen and explained the hierarchy of gods. He proposed unifying the continent under a Martial Soul Federation that would worship Qian Renxue as its new Angel God, leaving Qian Daoliu to seek her opinion.
