• The Evil God King assigned Long Aoyu the first of the Nine Evil Trials: achieve intermediate fusion with the Life Orb and unlock space and time attributes within one year.

After returning to the Body Sect, he reunited with Zhu Zhuqing, whose Lovesick Heartbreak Red had strengthened her Soul Power and evolved her Martial Soul into the Death Spirit Nether God Cat; she asked him to stay with her that night.

• Long Aoyu suggested bringing Gui Mei close to death again to trigger an awakening, and Du Busi agreed to take him along to the forest.

Du Busi brought Long Aoyu, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan to the Lake of Life so Long Aoyu could hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
