Meanwhile, Ah Yin traveled toward Heaven Dou City, Tang Yuehua regretted attacking Link, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing remained with Dugu Yan as they waited for the political situation to settle.

Link accepted the treasure and turned his thoughts to Tang San’s lost opportunities, the Sea God’s inheritance, and how to strengthen his own martial souls.

• Link accepted Xue Ye’s apology and told Prince Xue Xing to warn Emperor Qinghe to control the empire’s local powers or let them become independent.
• Link considered raising Man Faced Demon Spiders for an external soul bone, how to develop his twin martial souls, and whether to give the Sea God’s inheritance to someone else.

Link wondered whether Ah Yin could draw a response from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while the Heaven Dou Empire welcomed Emperor Qinghe and the chat group’s members bickered. After using a Limit-Breaking Pill and consuming nearly every Immortal Herb he owned, Link broke past the Douluo World's limits and rose to strength beyond a God King.

• Link considered having Ah Yin test whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud would recognize her and decided he wanted no divine position tied to the Divine Realm.
• After Emperor Qinghe took power, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and A Luo traveled to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to meet Link while Dugu Bo followed unseen.
• Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Liu Erlong argued in the chat group, with Bibi Dong silencing Liu Erlong by threatening to visit Heaven Dou City.
• At midnight, Link checked in and received a Limit-Breaking Pill that could break through his current major realm.
• Link swallowed the pill and nearly all the Immortal Herbs and aged medicinal herbs in his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, surpassing level one hundred and sixty and gaining strength beyond a God King.
• Link realized the chat group shared members' theoretical maximum strength, including the power Xiao Wu and Ah Yin had as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

After the Limit-Breaking Pill’s effects faded, Link tested his martial souls and realized his Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel could corrupt the world, while his Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda might help him master laws. He met Ah Yin outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where their matching Blue Silver Emperor martial souls led her to suspect he was her son.

• Link discovered that his Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul could transform the surrounding land and decided not to let it possess him casually.
