Ren Tao and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger followed the underground blood river to a barrier concealing a vast prison of souls and a towering dragon-like figure. Ren Tao identified the figure as the Dragon God and broke into the barrier, leaving the two poised to confront it as the cavern shook.
Ren Tao fought the Dragon God's consciousness while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger battled a giant ghost, then uncovered the mental nature of the Dragon God's strongest attack. The world consciousness intervened, but the Dragon God struck back, and the Giant Kun pulled Ren Tao away as the world was consumed by light.
Ren Tao escaped the world consciousness with Giant Kun, gained new powers, and returned to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had reached the hundred-thousand-year level. After leaving Slaughter City, Ren Tao met Hu Liena for drinks, where a tavern owner's warning hinted that war was coming.
Ren Tao and Hu Liena learned from tavern owner Ding Shanfeng that war was approaching and that the Spirit Hall Empire faced several threats. The chapter ended with Ren Tao learning that Qian Renxue intended to fight Bibi Dong over who would rule the empire, leaving him to wonder whether an outside force was provoking them.
Ren Tao asked Qian Renxue to delay her confrontation with Bibi Dong until he could help, while he formed a partnership with Ding Shanfeng. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue began their divine battle as Heaven Dou’s leaders prepared to march against the Spirit Hall Empire at dawn.
Ren Tao and Hu Liena rushed toward Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue as the goddesses’ battle escalated into a struggle between Angel and Rakshasa. The Asura God and Sea God saw an opportunity in the conflict and prepared to recreate Tang San.
Ren Tao reached Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue’s battlefield, where he clashed with a Rakshasa phantom and successfully devoured some of its divine power. Qian Renxue used the opening to destroy another phantom and force the duel into a brief pause, while Ren Tao disappeared at the battlefield’s center.
Ren Tao used the Dragon Blood Illusion Formation to make Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue attack each other by exploiting their deepest desires and emotions. Their divine powers collided, the Angel God and Rakshasa God vanished, and Qian Renxue was left beside the badly wounded but living Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong appointed Hu Liena as Pope and Qian Renxue as Empress, while Ren Tao helped Qian Renxue set aside her anger before returning toward the sea. The World Seed warned that war might begin early and urged Ren Tao to avoid Sea God Island, leaving him alarmed about what had happened there.
Ren Tao discovered that Sea God Island and its inhabitants had vanished, then sought the world seed’s legacy to gain the power to save the Sea Witch. As he began the world’s judgment, Divine Power helped him recognize that his companions shared his ideals and that he was not alone.
Ren Tao completed the World Prototype by linking an immense network of evolutionary paths, while the Giant Kun asked to make it its home. As the World Seed faded away, the Divine Realm appeared, and Ren Tao and the Giant Kun prepared to face its projection.
Ren Tao faced the world consciousness’s inheritance trial, escaped its attempt to trap him in a distorted life, and challenged the rules governing the Douluo World with three questions. His final question caused the world consciousness to vanish, leaving the countdown to the ending underway.
Ren Tao and the Giant Kun exploited the World Consciousness’s imprisonment to pull the Divine Realm toward the mortal world, while the gods tried to stop them. After clashing with the God of Destruction and rejecting the Evil God’s offer, Ren Tao attacked the Asura God as the Divine Realm continued to sink.
Ren Tao reached Sea God Island and discovered that the Sea God had sacrificed its inhabitants to build a forbidden-power trap. As Ren Tao and the Sea God clashed, Ren Tao realized the Sea God’s scheme extended beyond the island, while the Sea Witch and Bo Saixi’s fates remained unresolved.
Ren Tao escaped the Sea God's attempt to kill him by using the Time Chain, whose evolutionary power let him age and decay the Sea God into a reef. After the Sea Witch joined Ren Tao, Bo Saixi revealed that the Sea God's blood ritual had created another Tang San.
After the Sea God’s defeat, Ren Tao returned to the continent and learned that Tang San had revived and war was gathering around Jialing Pass. He promised Qian Renxue he would disrupt the Heaven Dou Empire’s advance, then flew toward it to seek Tang San.
Ren Tao confronted Asura God, who used Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang to provoke the Heaven Dou army and cloud Ren Tao’s divine sense. Ren Tao used the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus to kill over a hundred soldiers, then approached the flame knight and asked how they would fight.
Ren Tao confronted the Asura God inside Trinity Asura Purgatory and killed him after foiling his escape. Ren Tao concluded that the ritual was a three god sacrifice, but the White-Haired Woman’s ultimate purpose remained unknown.
Ren Tao defeated the Asura God and confronted the transformed Tang San, who confirmed he was a cosmic being and challenged Ren Tao to discover the truth within seven days. Tang San then reshaped the world around Ren Tao, leaving him reborn as an unschooled child in a mountain family.
Ren Tao witnessed Xiao Ji and Liu Xiang’s tragic bond, from their years of killing together to Liu Xiang’s sacrifice and Xiao Ji’s rise to godlike power. Xiao Ji created the Douluo World, divided his existence, and made himself a Soul Beast so he could atone for harming Liu Xiang across generations.
Ren Tao realized the White-Haired Woman might not have been Liu Xiang’s lingering obsession, then arrived at Jialing Pass with an answer to the Creation God’s riddle. The Creation God paused his attempt to destroy the world to hear Ren Tao out.
Ren Tao exposed the truth behind the Creation God's memories, revealing that Liu Xiang had never existed and that the Creation God was Xiao Ji, who had invented her to endure his guilt and loneliness. The Creation God's lingering obsession vanished, the laws governing soul beasts changed, and Ren Tao was left wondering who the White-Haired Woman had been.
Tang San’s remnant soul was tormented by Ren Tao before Qian Renxue dealt with the Shrek Five Monsters and Bibi Dong forced Liu Erlong to care for Yu Xiaogang. Ren Tao later reunited with the Sea Witch and took her traveling, bringing the story to a close.
