Huo Yuhao traveled alone to Sea God Island while the Snow Empress and their companions secretly followed at a distance. After defeating the Demon Soul Great White Sharks guarding the island’s waters, he raced onward toward Sea God Island.

• Huo Yuhao left the mermaids’ territory for Sea God Island, and the Snow Empress, Tian Meng, the Evil Lord, the Ice Empress, and the Sea Princess followed secretly to watch over him.
• Huo Yuhao crossed the sea in a transparent ice boat and sensed Demon Soul Great White Sharks gathering beneath and around him near Sea God Island.
• The Demon Soul Great White Sharks smashed Huo Yuhao’s boat, but he detonated its fragments with Ice Explosion Technique and killed many of them.
• Huo Yuhao pierced three enormous Demon Soul Great White Sharks with his Ice Spirit Spear, causing the remaining sharks to disappear.
• Huo Yuhao hurried toward Sea God Island by treading on ice.

Huo Yuhao fought off a school of Demon Soul Great White Sharks and reached Sea God Island, hoping to take its trial and obtain the Sea God’s inheritance. The island’s guards agreed to escort him to Lord Sea Horse, unaware of his true strength.

• Huo Yuhao killed three Demon Soul Great White Sharks, scattering the school that had attacked him.
• Huo Yuhao ran across the sea and reached Sea God Island, where the island’s power blocked his spiritual probing.

• The purple-clad man agreed to lead Huo Yuhao to Lord Sea Horse, hoping the trial would go easy on him.

Huo Yuhao reached the Sea Within the Sea on Sea God Island to seek the Sea God's trial. Sea Horse Douluo challenged him to cross the lake, while a woman watched from a nearby peak.

• Huo Yuhao followed the five islanders through the forest, sensing that Sea God Island increasingly suppressed his Spiritual Power.
• The middle-aged man in purple warned Huo Yuhao that outsiders faced harder trials and offered to take him back, but Huo Yuhao insisted on continuing.
• The group reached the Sea Within the Sea, where the middle-aged man in purple asked Sea Horse Douluo to permit Huo Yuhao to receive the Sea God's trial.
• Sea Horse Douluo told Huo Yuhao he had to cross the lake and reach him to qualify, then was surprised by Huo Yuhao's age and inability to sense his Soul Power.
• Huo Yuhao approached the lake to begin crossing as a woman flew to a nearby mountain peak to watch.

Huo Yuhao crossed the Sea Horse Douluo’s sea trial by using ice walls to distract him and then speeding to the platform. Sea Horse Douluo accepted his passage and prepared to begin the trial bestowed by the Sea God.

• Huo Yuhao revealed seven simulated black soul rings, prompting Sea Horse Douluo to suspect his cultivation and decide to increase the trial’s difficulty.
• Sea Horse Douluo stirred the lake into towering waves and suppressed Huo Yuhao’s ability to fly high.

• Huo Yuhao confirmed that he had killed a Demon Soul Great White Shark, and Sea Horse Douluo prepared to begin his trial.

Huo Yuhao's assessment on Sea God Island reached a red light, drawing the attention of Bo Saixi and the Sea God. Just as the Sea God prepared to give him the Sea God's Nine Trials, an unknown hand stopped him and slowed time in the palace.

• Huo Yuhao's assessment light changed from black to red, and Bo Saixi appeared beside Sea Horse Douluo to observe him.
• Bo Saixi recalled watching Huo Yuhao fight the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and cross the sea before reaching Sea God Island.
• The Sea God watched Huo Yuhao's red assessment light from the Divine Realm and judged his age, cultivation, vitality, and Soul Ring Configuration exceptional.
• The Sea God decided Huo Yuhao could inherit his godhood and began to bestow the Sea God's Nine Trials despite Huo Yuhao lacking the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• A hand pressed down on the Sea God's shoulder, enveloped the palace in red light, and slowed time, interrupting the bestowal.

The Asura God convinced the Sea God that Huo Yuhao’s sealed chaos energy posed a danger to the Divine Realm, while concealing his real goal of arranging a descent to the lower realm so several gods could pass on their Godhoods and leave. The Sea God agreed to help keep Huo Yuhao trapped on Sea God Island until the gods were ready to act.

• The Asura God confronted the Sea God as he considered making Huo Yuhao his successor, and pointed out that Huo Yuhao already bore the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• The Asura God explained that Huo Yuhao’s fourteen ancient Soul Rings came from living Soul Beasts bound to her by contracts, but said their presence in the Divine Realm was not his main concern.
• The Asura God revealed that sealed chaos energy inside Huo Yuhao could cause a disaster if space-time turbulence arose in the Divine Realm.
• The Sea God learned that the Asura God had persuaded the Rakshasa God and others to join a plan to descend to the lower realm and pass on their Godhoods.
• The Asura God told the Sea God not to send divine sense to Douluo Star and instructed him to keep Huo Yuhao trapped, even suggesting his subordinates cripple her.
• The Sea God questioned whether the chaos energy truly mattered, and the Asura God admitted that leaving the Divine Realm was the real priority before departing.

Huo Yuhao’s Sea God assessment vanished after reaching red, and Bo Saixi attacked him under Lord Sea God’s orders to keep him on the island. After Huo Yuhao was badly injured trying to escape, Elder Yi took control of his body and blocked Bo Saixi’s next attack, preparing to get him away.

• Huo Yuhao’s red assessment light turned white and disappeared, and Bo Saixi attacked him with chains made from seawater as he tried to flee.
• Huo Yuhao used Instant Teleportation, his armor, and the Ice Spirit Spear to break the chains, then concealed himself and ran toward the beach.
• Bo Saixi exposed Huo Yuhao’s disguise and struck at him; he used Calamity Crown and Golden Awakening to block her attack, but was injured.
• Bo Saixi launched another attack that overwhelmed Huo Yuhao’s defenses and left him badly wounded.
• Elder Yi knocked Huo Yuhao unconscious, took control of his body, and used a Magic Array to block Bo Saixi’s next attack as he sought to escape.

Elder Yi fought Bo Saixi while the Seven Sacred Pillars arrived to help capture Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao’s allies attacked Sea God Island from offshore. With Bo Saixi forced to defend the island, Elder Yi teleported Huo Yuhao away.

• Elder Yi, controlling Huo Yuhao, battled Bo Saixi, who sensed his unusual strength and summoned the Seven Sacred Pillars.
• Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Tian Meng, Evil Lord, and Sea Princess watched from offshore as Tian Meng’s Spiritual Detection was blocked by Sea God Island’s barrier.
• After Tian Meng detected the fight, Evil Lord used his Spiritual Power to launch an attack while Snow Empress unleashed the Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors’ sword strike.
• The Sea God’s shield weakened the assault, but its spiritual force knocked out the Seven Sacred Pillars and injured Bo Saixi.
• As Bo Saixi reinforced the island’s defenses against Snow Empress’s sword energy, Elder Yi used Magic Arrays to teleport Huo Yuhao away.

After the Sea God rejected Huo Yuhao’s trial and attacked him, Snow Empress’s sword energy forced the Sea God to intervene, leaving Bo Saixi gravely injured and disrupting the Gods’ plans. Huo Yuhao recovered in the Undead Demiplane, agreed to pursue the plan involving Qiankun Asking Love Valley and the Sun Moon Continent, then returned with his companions to the Mermaid Clan’s territory.

• Snow Empress’s frigid sword energy shattered Sea God Island’s defenses, and the Sea God’s power stopped it; Bo Saixi thanked him before collapsing and vomiting blood.
• The Sea God’s intervention drew questions from other Gods and delayed the Asura God’s operation, while Huo Yuhao and his companions hid in an underwater cavern.
• In the Undead Demiplane, Elder Yi explained that the Sea God had rejected Huo Yuhao’s trial and that Sea God Island’s people had attacked him; Evil Lord proposed pursuing Qiankun Asking Love Valley and using the Sun Moon Continent’s faith for their plan.
• Two days later, Huo Yuhao woke, heard what had happened, and agreed with Evil Lord’s proposal.
• After resting for several more days, Huo Yuhao and his companions tested whether the Sea God posed an immediate threat, then returned to the Mermaid Clan’s territory.
• Sea Princess told the Mermaid Clan what had happened, and Huo Yuhao called everyone into the Undead Demiplane.

After the Sea God Island incident made Huo Yuhao suspect their first two plans would face serious obstacles, he discussed preparing a third plan to make the Undead Demiplane self-sustaining. Elder Yi proposed using Huo Yuhao’s blood and Blue Silver Grass to establish a circulating ecosystem, and Huo Yuhao suggested creating a new Blue Silver Emperor inside the demiplane.

• Huo Yuhao told Elder Yi that the Sea God and Bo Saixi’s strange actions made him doubt their first two plans and decide to prepare the third.
• Elder Yi explained that the Undead Demiplane lacked circulating life force and could not become independent without a sustainable ecosystem.
• Elder Yi proposed using Huo Yuhao’s blood to nourish a Blue Silver Emperor or a sufficiently cultivated Blue Silver King and form a life-force magic array.
• The Evil Lord offered to capture a Blue Silver Emperor, but Huo Yuhao warned that the person with that martial soul was not a plant or soul beast and might be watched by a god.
• Huo Yuhao proposed growing a new Blue Silver Emperor in the Undead Demiplane, since they were outside Douluo Star despite the plane’s partial suppression by its laws.

Huo Yuhao and his companions reached the Sun Moon Continent and followed the Wolf King to his home in the Jingyang Mountain Range. After meeting the Silver Moon Wolf Pack and settling in, they escaped to the Undead Demiplane to get away from the pack’s late-night howling.

• Huo Yuhao's group left the Mermaid Clan's territory with the Sea Princess and her companions, then reached the Sun Moon Continent half a month later.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to visit the Jingyang Mountain Range first, while the Evil Lord departed for the Evil Demon Forest.
• The Wolf King hurried the group to the Jingyang Mountain Range, summoned the Silver Moon Wolves with a howl, and led them to his cave.
• Huo Yuhao's companions endured the Wolf King's cave tour and ate dinner while he prepared their meal.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Pack howled late into the night, so Octagonal asked Huo Yuhao to open the Undead Demiplane and the group went inside.

Huo Yuhao and his companions began searching the Sun Moon Continent for Blue Silver Grass with ten-thousand-year cultivation after the Evil Lord found none in the Evil Demon Forest. While searching the Jingyang Mountain Range with the Wolf King and Xiao Xue Lotus, Huo Yuhao revisited memories of Ju Zi and reflected on his unresolved feelings about her and Yun Han.

• The Evil Lord returned from the Evil Demon Forest and reported that his clan had found no Blue Silver Grass with ten-thousand-year cultivation, while the others admitted they had not searched.
• The Snow Empress proposed that everyone split up to search the vast Sun Moon Continent, and the group agreed.
• Huo Yuhao, the Wolf King, and Xiao Xue Lotus were assigned to search the Jingyang Mountain Range with help from the Silver Moon Wolf Pack.
• As they explored the mountains, Huo Yuhao remembered his earlier visit with Keke and Ju Zi and his time at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Huo Yuhao recalled Ju Zi crying at his bedside, considered how her revenge had shaped her actions, and questioned what she had intended for Yun Han.

Huo Yuhao and his companions searched the Jingyang Mountain Range for Blue Silver Grass with ten thousand years of cultivation, but their search initially found nothing suitable. Octagonal then reported a twenty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass hidden in an underground cavern, and Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress hurried there.

• Huo Yuhao mined high-quality rare metals with the Wolf King after the search of the Jingyang Mountain Range found no suitable Blue Silver Grass.
• The returning groups reported that the strongest Blue Silver Grass they had found was only seven thousand years old, and a search of the valley where Huo Yuhao had once found a Blue Silver King turned up nothing.
• When Tian Meng, Octagonal, and Raven remained away, the Ice Empress offered to check on them, but the Evil Lord sensed someone returning.
• Octagonal returned and told Huo Yuhao and the others that Tian Meng and Raven had found suitable Blue Silver Grass in Raven's former home, the Dark Moon Forest.
• Octagonal explained that Tian Meng had discovered a cavern beneath a deep pool, where Blue Silver Grass covered the walls and ceiling and grew from a central stalk with roughly twenty thousand years of cultivation.
• Tian Meng and Raven restrained the Blue Silver Grass, and Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress flew with Octagonal toward the cavern.

Huo Yuhao found a weakened Blue Silver King and persuaded it to leave with him by offering blood rich in the Gold of Life. The grass gathered its power into a seed, and Huo Yuhao departed with it and his companions for the Jingyang Mountain Range.

• Huo Yuhao and his companions reached the mountaintop, where Tian Meng and Raven were guarding the Blue Silver Grass.
• Huo Yuhao examined the Blue Silver Grass and determined that its unstable foundation would prevent it from reaching a hundred thousand years of Cultivation.
• Huo Yuhao calmed the grass with his Spiritual Power, then offered it blood containing the Gold of Life to gain its trust.
• The Blue Silver Grass accepted Huo Yuhao's offer and gathered its power into a blue seed, which he carefully put away.
• Huo Yuhao and the others left for the Jingyang Mountain Range.

Huo Yuhao revived the Blue Silver Grass by nourishing it with his blood and planned to keep strengthening it before transplanting it into the Undead Demiplane. A month later, he continued preparing for Qiankun Asking Love Valley, determined to improve his cultivation and face its dangers while living with a lighter heart than before.

• Huo Yuhao planted the Blue Silver Grass seed and nourished it with his blood, causing it to grow and recover.
• Huo Yuhao told A Ling that giving the plant a small amount of his blood each day would not harm him.
• Huo Yuhao said he would leave the Blue Silver Grass in the Jingyang Mountain Range until its cultivation approached a hundred thousand years, then move it to the Undead Demiplane.
• Huo Yuhao thanked everyone for helping find the Blue Silver Grass and promised to cook them extra dishes.
• Huo Yuhao spent the next month cultivating, caring for the plant, practicing alchemy, making soul tools, and training with the Ice Spirit Spear.
• Huo Yuhao resolved to go to Qiankun Asking Love Valley after strengthening himself, reflecting that his life and heart were now lighter than before.

Huo Yuhao trained with the Ice Spirit Spear by mastering simple techniques before gradually combining them with his powers. After two months, he tested his progress against the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, losing to the Ice Empress but resolving to fight her again.

• Huo Yuhao realized that relying on the Ice Spirit Spear's features and his Soul Power left him without a fighting style of his own, and A Ling's simple swordplay inspired him to start with basic spear techniques.
• Huo Yuhao spent two months practicing with the Ice Spirit Spear without using Soul Power or Spiritual Power, then challenged the Snow Empress and Ice Empress together.
• Huo Yuhao used the spear to absorb and return some of his opponents' released energy, letting him block their attacks and reproduce weaker versions of their powers.
• The Snow Empress left Huo Yuhao to fight the Ice Empress one-on-one, and the Ice Empress's increasingly fast punches overwhelmed him.
• The Snow Empress helped Huo Yuhao up, and he conceded the match but promised to fight the Ice Empress again the next day.

Two months later, Huo Yuhao refined soul-tool components while training against the Ice Empress, nurturing Blue Silver Grass, and preparing Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells for his return to Qiankun Asking Love Valley. He continued meditating to approach Rank 80, while the fear he associated with the valley remained with him.

• Huo Yuhao refined a metal sphere to serve as the core of a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, and reflected on the limits of improving the quality of materials.
• Huo Yuhao continued fighting the Ice Empress, improving his use of the Ice Spirit Spear and his ability to absorb energy during combat.
• Huo Yuhao's blood infused with gold of life helped the Blue Silver Grass approach forty thousand years of cultivation and develop simple responses.
• Elder Yi reassured Huo Yuhao about his fear of Qiankun Asking Love Valley and told him that overcoming fear was part of true courage.
• Huo Yuhao engraved another shell component with the Ice Spirit Spear and stopped for the night after completing one piece.
• Huo Yuhao continued meditating at Rank 79, having increased his practice as he neared Rank 80.

Huo Yuhao broke through to rank eighty and began signing Soul Spirit Contracts with the Evil Lord and the Snow Empress. Their contracts gave him two orange-golden Soul Rings, raised his soul power to rank eighty-two, and transformed his Snow Maiden martial soul into a Heavenly Snow Woman.

• Huo Yuhao woke at noon after breaking through to rank eighty during meditation, and A-Hua went to gather everyone.
• Huo Yuhao watered the Blue Silver King, which had surpassed fifty thousand years of cultivation and was recovering its unstable foundation.
• The Evil Lord signed a Soul Spirit Contract with Huo Yuhao, giving him an orange-golden Soul Ring with Thorny Halo and Light of Time and Space and raising him to rank eighty-one.
• The Snow Empress signed a Soul Spirit Contract with Huo Yuhao, giving him another orange-golden Soul Ring and raising him to rank eighty-two.
• The Snow Empress's Soul Ring evolved Huo Yuhao's Snow Maiden martial soul into a Heavenly Snow Woman and granted the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes and Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors.
• The Snow Empress and the Evil Lord said their Soul Spirit Contracts had removed the threat of Heavenly Tribulation, and everyone returned to their usual lives.

Huo Yuhao continued training in the Undead Demiplane, where the Blue Silver King gradually acclimated to the barren environment. In a spar with the Snow Empress, he demonstrated new Ice Spirit Spear applications of Ice Extreme Unrivaled and Great Cold Without Snow, then returned with the others.

• Huo Yuhao watered the Blue Silver King with his blood and watched Xiao Xue Lotus and the Blue Silver King interact.
• Huo Yuhao faced the Snow Empress in a training match as his soul power reached rank eighty-seven.
• Huo Yuhao used Ice Extreme Unrivaled through the Ice Spirit Spear, extending its reach with sword qi and tearing open the ground.
• Huo Yuhao used Great Cold Without Snow to freeze the Snow Empress's sword and hand, forcing her to break the ice with twenty percent of her strength.
• The Snow Empress called the match a draw, and Huo Yuhao followed her and the others back with the Blue Silver King.

Over five months, Huo Yuhao prepared to transform the Undead Demiplane while raising the Blue Silver King and making Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells for his return to Qiankun Asking Love Valley. He planned to wait until the Blue Silver King reached ninety thousand years of cultivation, and continued preparing at least twelve shells for the dangerous journey.

• Huo Yuhao reviewed Elder Yi's elaborate three-dimensional magic array design, which would use the Blue Silver King's roots and stems to distribute life force throughout the Undead Demiplane.
• Elder Yi explained that the Blue Silver King could not trace the array alone, but everyone could contribute their spiritual power to complete it.
• Huo Yuhao kept watering the Blue Silver King with blood containing gold of life, though its cultivation had only reached eighty thousand years.
• Huo Yuhao completed his tenth Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell as he prepared for Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
• Huo Yuhao resolved to keep making shells until he had at least twelve, believing he could use them together to break through the valley's defenses.
