During the God-Sealing Ceremony, Qin Xiao killed the Evil God, Slayer, and God of Devastation, then bestowed their godhoods and other divine powers on his allies.

He planned to nurture new God Kings to help the Divine Realm escape, then split his divine soul and set out to cultivate the Seed of Destruction.

• Qin Xiao and Gu Yuena gathered their Super Divine Artifacts so he could travel through the turbulence, and Qin Xiao used the Asura God Sword to split his divine soul in two.

Qin Xiao's divine soul crossed the Space-Time Turbulence and arrived on a different Douluo Star, where it entered Huo Yuhao's body after he died in the Star Dou Great Forest. Now disguised as Huo Yuhao, Qin Xiao resolved to stay away from Tang San and develop without drawing attention.

• Qin Xiao equipped his divine soul with divine artifacts and sent it through the Space-Time Turbulence to find a way to save his loved ones.
• After months of travel and the destruction of his artifacts, Qin Xiao escaped the turbulence and spotted Douluo Star, but suspected he had reached its past or a parallel universe.

Qin Xiao set out to claim the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, and both entered his spiritual world. After Qin Xiao intimidated the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with visions of his past battles, he demanded that the silkworm work for him.

• Qin Xiao waited for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, pretending to be frightened when the silkworm emerged from the ground.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began merging with Qin Xiao as his Wisdom Soul Ring, but Electrolux’s remnant soul entered Qin Xiao’s body as well.

• Qin Xiao released destructive power from the Godhood of Destruction, leaving the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm facing his demand.
