She announced seven powerful soul bones and a counterfeit Seed of Life as the championship prizes, hoping to lure Tang San into competing, while promising the Seven-Star Team the bones if they lost to the Galaxy Fleet without too much humiliation.

• Bibi Dong proposed strengthening the finals arena barrier, and the Enshrined approved it because the Seven-Star Team members could fight at low-ranking Soul Emperor strength.
• Bibi Dong presented Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy's request to compete as one team, and Qian Daoliu approved it after the distracted Seven-Star Team failed to respond.
• Bibi Dong displayed seven soul bones and a counterfeit Seed of Life and declared them the tournament championship prizes, despite elders' concerns that an enemy might win them.
