As the battle for Free and Unrestrained Mountain continued, Ye Fei ignored Xu Ming’s attempts to contact him while Feng An prepared a new home and the little Phoenixes went out to watch the fighting.

• Xu Ming warned Ye Fei that another player becoming God King might restrict his freedom, then left the mountain.
• Feng An returned and cuddled Eclipse Moon and Feng Bai while Ye Fei wondered what Xu Ming had meant.

Ye Fei and Feng An discussed Xu Ming, the missing Huang Yu and another person, and Feng An’s decision to fuse with Long Heng after finding absolute freedom dangerous. Their conversation turned to the strength of players from different worlds and the limits of the displayed combat-power score.

• Ye Fei speculated that Xu Ming might turn demonic or return to fighting demons and gods, while Feng An asked whether Ye Fei had sensed Huang Yu and the other missing person.
• Ye Fei said the two should return soon, and Feng An explained that he had fused with Long Heng after sensing danger when he tried to leave Huang Yu’s courtyard alone.
• Ye Fei advised Feng An to enjoy what freedom he could without putting himself at risk, and Feng An recalled how supposedly powerful players from other worlds had arrived weak in this one.

• Feng An carried Long Heng into Ye Fei's Home and decided to build a temporary nest on Phoenix Perch's branches.
• Ye Fei reminded the gods that the God War had ended and that the God King Contest was approaching, then urged them to plan for a future without player labels, quests, or the Chat Channel.
• The Thunder God said he intended to keep his divine position, while the Gold God Youth explained that the Elements Gods would have little work once the world stabilized, prompting Fan to complain that Race Gods were treated unfairly.

While the God King Contest’s outcome remained undecided, Ye Fei and the others waited and made final adjustments to Free and Unrestrained Mountain. Lingxu pursued sea creatures tied to her past, while Ye Fei prepared the mountain for the future and watched the players adapt to life in the new world.

After the God King Contest ended, Ye Fei and the others speculated about the winner while waiting for the coronation ceremony in the Divine Realm. Lin Mu and Lin Xian returned from teaching in the Worker Area, where Lin Mu revealed they planned to keep their troublesome students in place as Bosses for others to challenge.

• The Thunder God asked the gathered gods who had become God King, while the Fire God and others said they knew nothing about the contest.
• The God of Light and the Dark God said they had been barred from competing and confined in separate temples, prompting the Queen to scold them for their affectionate behavior.
• Ye Fei guessed that the new God King was a powerful god capable of keeping first-rank gods in line, but he could not identify the winner.

Little Golden Dragon told Ye Fei how the Dragon King and Prime Minister Turtle had died protecting him during the God War, and how he had sealed Electric Eel General with their remains inside. Lingyan freed Electric Eel General, and Ye Fei said the Dragon King and Prime Minister Turtle could be resurrected after Little Golden Dragon’s coronation, so Little Golden Dragon set off to become God King.

• Little Golden Dragon reunited with Ye Fei and tearfully explained that the Dragon King had died in his place and Prime Minister Turtle had sacrificed his shell to protect him.
• Little Golden Dragon revealed that he had sealed Electric Eel General with the Dragon Pearl and Prime Minister Turtle’s true spirit inside a sphere because his seal could hold only one target.

• Lin Mu and Lu Heng bickered while helping move tables and chairs for the celebration, which the group prepared without magic.
• Ye Fei said he hoped a certain person would come because he felt cared for by him, and Lingyan asked what role he himself held in Ye Fei’s life.

• Ye Fei identified the Beast God in Little Golden Dragon’s foreclaws and recognized the Sea God beside the Fire God.
• The Sea God told Ye Fei that the Fire God had described him as scary, and the Fire God admitted he had said it to discourage her from causing trouble.

Ye Fei welcomed the gods and Demon God to Free and Unrestrained Mountain as they brought gifts, but the Demon God's gift of a slain sea monster stirred the young Sea God and revealed a possible connection to Little Jiaoren's former Jiaozhu. Ye Fei asked Jun Mo to bring Lingxu over to identify the corpse, leaving the gathering caught up in the mystery of the sea monster.

• The Heavenly Emperor and Nether Lord arrived with gifts while the gods prepared food and presented their own offerings to Ye Fei.
• The Fire God gave Ye Fei a Teleportation Passage connecting Free and Unrestrained Mountain's sea to the Nethersea Abyss, upsetting the Beast God, who said the Fire God had previously refused him one.

• Feng An challenged Rules over his claimed family ties, but backed down after Rules hinted he could create beings more powerful than a God King.
• Rules sat beside Ye Fei and declared him and Lingyan his children, while Lingbo addressed Rules as senior and Lingyan accepted that the declaration would keep the gods in check.
