After Ye Wuhen disappeared, Tang San tried to steal his seven seeds but found them missing. Tang Hao had taken the seeds to help Ah Yin and began considering killing Ye Wuhen so Tang San could become the Blue Silver Emperor.

Four mysterious beings emerged from the mist, and their attack plunged the Divine Realm into chaos as the Golden Dragon King and Space-Time Turbulence threatened to break loose.

• Li Shaobai offered Xiao Wu a signed novel to encourage her to share what she knew about the Alliance Leader, while privately recalling the failed investigation into the hostile overseas faction.

The Celestial Screen exposed Dai Mubai’s future behavior to the Star Luo Empire, while the scene then shifted to a mysterious girl watching him with a man in a teahouse.

• Xiao Wu kicked at Dai Mubai after he provoked her, but Li Shaobai struck him while his guard was down.

Li Shaobai and Xiao Wu searched the Soto Great Soul Arena for Tie Jian Zhao, the sword-wielding Soul Master Li Shaobai wanted to challenge. As Xiao Wu questioned Li Shaobai’s modest view of himself, he remembered a powerful enemy who had dismissed his sword and heard the Blood God’s whisper.

• Xiao Wu followed Li Shaobai through the Soto Great Soul Arena and offered to help him find a skilled sword Soul Master.

• Tang San asked whether Shrek Academy had any healing-type Soul Masters and left when Dai Mubai could not provide one.
• Ximen Yun challenged Shrek Academy for harboring Tang San, a survivor of the Nuoding City plague, and Dai Mubai angrily demanded to know whether Ximen Yun intended to make trouble.

Ximen Yun provoked Shrek Academy over its infected students, then defended himself when Tang San attacked and Dai Mubai threatened him. As the confrontation neared a fight, Tang San backed down after Dai Mubai warned him that Spirit Hall’s Bi Shuo might investigate; nearby, Yu Xiaogang remained gravely ill while a hook-nosed man watched over him.

• Ximen Yun blocked the Hidden Weapons with his Sword Martial Soul, and Dai Mubai and Tang San threatened him for insulting Shrek Academy.

• Ximen Yun revealed that he was a Rank 42 Soul Ancestor and challenged the two men as a fight seemed imminent.
• In a nearby room, a hook-nosed middle-aged man watched Yu Xiaogang’s rotting, bandaged body and lamented his condition.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and the Ferocious Beasts demanded action against the humans, but Bi Ji warned that Li Ji’s words hinted at a larger change.

• Ning Fengzhi struggled to understand why a youth with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda wanted to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Gu Rong reminded him the events were six years away.

Ye Wuhen killed an Emerald Swan in the Star Dou Great Forest, drawing Di Tian’s attack, but Aunt Yin protected him and then charged Di Tian in a self-detonating strike. Watching the Celestial Screen, Tang Hao and Tang San recognized Aunt Yin as Ah Yin, and Tang San resolved to pursue the Sea God’s legacy so he could defeat Ye Wuhen and the Deity behind him.

Qian Daoliu reflected on the threats revealed in Star Dou Great Forest and considered visiting Sea God Island and searching for Bi Shuo. On the Celestial Screen, Bi Shuo organized the Sons of Glory to defend against a massive beast tide, while Xue Ye grew suspicious of Spirit Hall’s growing military strength.
