The live stream revealed that Dai Yuhao was an illegitimate son mistreated in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion after his Martial Soul mutated and his Innate Soul Power reached only rank one. After his mother died, he escaped the mansion and headed for the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Beast.

• Dai Tianfeng and other leaders discussed the new live stream and hoped the Live Stream Room would upgrade its rewards.

The broadcast showed Huo Yuhao's connection with Ice Empress, Wang Qiu'er, and Wang Dong'er, ending with Wang Qiu'er sacrificing herself and Wang Dong'er waking with lost memories. The Live Q&A then asked who was truly responsible for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's sacrifice, and the audience considered Dai Mubai a likely identity for the mysterious voice.

• Huo Yuhao gained Ice Empress as his third Martial Soul, and he and Tang Wutong later performed another Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• The broadcast ended and the Live Q&A asked who was truly responsible for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's sacrifice, prompting speculation that Dai Mubai was the mysterious voice.

Lin Yu correctly identified Tang San as responsible for the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s sacrifice and received three Heaven-Sent Soul Rings. Tang San challenged the accusation, so the Live Stream Room began showing footage from the God Realm that appeared to expose his role.

• Lin Yu and the civilian trial teams answered the culprit question, and Lin Yu named Tang San first.
• The Live Stream Room confirmed Lin Yu’s answer, awarded him three Heaven-Sent Soul Rings, and stripped ten years of lifespan from civilians who answered incorrectly.
• Tang San angrily accused Lin Yu and the Live Stream Room of slandering him, insisting he had not appeared in the broadcast.
• Lin Yu accused Tang San of scheming against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Huo Yuhao, and Tang San demanded evidence.
• The Live Stream Room offered to show footage related to the answer, and Lin Yu accepted.
• The footage shifted to the God Realm, where Tang San watched Wang Dong’er descend into a vast forest through a Spatial Mirror.

Tang San planned to use his daughter Tang Wutong to control the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, and decided to exploit the Emperor Auspicious Beast as well. The Star Dou Great Forest's ferocious beasts learned that Tang San had placed a wisp of Tang Wutong's soul inside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, leaving them furious.

• Tang San watched Tang Wutong on Douluo Continent and resolved to seal her memories so she could be paired with Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny.

• Tang San discovered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and decided to use a wisp of Tang Wutong's soul to control the Emperor Auspicious Beast and prevent the soul beast clan from rising.
• Tang San placed the wisp of Tang Wutong's soul inside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, sealed Tang Wutong's memories, and left her unconscious as the Star Dou Great Forest's ferocious beasts raged at his scheme.

Lin Yu exposed Tang San’s schemes involving Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, revealing how Tang San manipulated events to protect his standing and secure his daughter’s future. Di Tian threatened to strike first against Tang San, leaving Tang San and Tang Hao panicked.

• Lin Yu recalled how Tang San had supposedly arranged Wang Dong’er’s lost memories, the events in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and Wang Qiu’er’s death to bring Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao together.

• Di Tian furiously threatened to have the soul beast race strike first against Tang San, and Tang San and Tang Hao panicked.

After the Live Stream Room ended, Di Tian rallied the Star Dou Great Forest’s ferocious beasts and ten-thousand-year soul beasts to search for Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang. Tang Hao decided their group should flee to the Strength Clan, believing Spirit Hall would not suspect Tai Tan of sheltering him.

• The Live Stream Room announced that it would undergo a six-month upgrade, and the ferocious beasts threatened to tear Tang San and his father apart for attacking the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
• Di Tian summoned the forest’s ten-thousand-year soul beasts and ordered them to find Tang Hao, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang, with Demon Spirit sending their appearances into the beasts’ minds.

• Tang San altered the faces and hair of himself, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang, then the four headed for the forest's edge.
• Di Tian and the other savage beasts sent soul beasts to search the forests, hoping to drive Tang Hao and Tang San into the human world and leave Spirit Hall to hunt them.
• After traveling for over a month, Tang Hao and the others reached Heaven Dou Imperial City, where Tang Hao reunited with Tai Tan and settled with the Strength Clan.
• Half a year later, Lin Yu waited in an inn for the fifteenth live stream, and the system's completed upgrade brought everyone into the illusory space.

The Live Stream Room reopened after a half-year upgrade, introducing rules that prevented answer-blurring exploits and the use of civilians to test answers. Its first broadcast showed the Soul Guidance Empire and asked who founded Soul Guidance Technology, prompting humans and soul beasts to search their books while Lin Yu realized he had no likely source for the answer.

• The Live Stream Room announced that the first three correct answers would earn rewards, only the first five people could answer with their answers blurred, and civilians could no longer be used to answer questions.
• Prince Xue Xing, Yu Yuanzhen, and Meng Shu worried that the new restrictions would undermine their plans, while Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi accepted the changes.
• The Live Stream Room showed the capital of the Soul Guidance Empire and a history class describing its efforts to develop Soul Guidance Technology for the benefit of civilians.
• The Live Stream Room asked who proposed that Soul Power could flow through special metals and offered cultivation methods, martial skills, and a soul bone as rewards.
• Bibi Dong, Xue Ye, and Dai Tianfeng ordered scholars to search for the answer, while Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Demon Spirit searched books left by soul masters in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Yu sighed that his Taiqing Clone had not read any books likely to contain the answer.

Dai Tianfeng, Di Tian, and Zhu Xuanfeng correctly answered that Stein founded Soul Guidance Technology and received rewards before the Live Q&A ended. Three months later, Zhu Zhuqing broke through to level ten Soul Power.

• Dai Tianfeng, Di Tian, and Zhu Xuanfeng found the answer about Stein and submitted it, while the other forces failed to answer.
• The system confirmed all three answers were correct and awarded Dai Tianfeng a cultivation method, Di Tian a low-level ability, and Zhu Xuanfeng a Hundred-Year Soul Bone.
• The system announced that the next Live Q&A would take place in six months because the Live Stream Room had been upgraded.
• Lin Yu resumed his daily cultivation and added the World Annihilation spear technique to his training.
• Three months after the broadcast, Zhu Zhuqing broke through from level nine to level ten Soul Power.

Zhu Zhuqing applied to hunt her first Soul Ring after reaching level ten, while Zhu Zhuyun schemed to interfere with the hunt. Lin Yu returned to Notting City to retrieve his Shangqing Avatar, then headed toward the Star Luo Empire to seek access to its library and strengthen his Double Pupils Martial Soul.

• Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest with Soul King Zack, who was assigned to help her find a Phantom Spirit Cat.
• Zack secretly lit an incense stick to guide a hunting squad toward Zhu Zhuqing, then pretended to be defeated during their attack.
• Zhu Zhuqing saw through Zack's cries, threw a smoke bomb containing Beast Attracting Incense, and fled deeper into the forest.
• The incense drew nearby soul beasts onto the hunting squad, giving Zhu Zhuqing time to escape while the squad fought them off.

Lin Yu sensed a Martial Soul that could resonate with his Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul and found a wounded little girl being hunted by a Soul Hunting Squad in the Star Dou Great Forest. He killed the pursuers and healed the unconscious girl, who was later identified as Zhu Zhuqing in the chapter title.

• Lin Yu followed the resonance and found a black-clad little girl fleeing seven Soul Masters from the Ghost Serpent Soul Hunting Squad.
• Lin Yu intervened and used his Double Pupil Martial Soul's Violet Weakening Aura to cripple the Soul Hunting Squad.
• Lin Yu burned the squad members to ash with his Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul's Karma Fire Red Lotus.

• Zhu Zhuqing accepted that Lin Yu was following his heart and gradually stopped being wary of him.

• Lin Yu joined the back of the testing line.

Lin Yu disguised as Ye Liangchen took the Soul Power test at Nether Duke Manor and revealed that he was a seven-year-old Soul Grandmaster. After passing, he was escorted away to be shown his residence, leaving the people in the testing plaza stunned by his talent.
