The next morning, Ning Xian agreed to take Dugu Yan and Liu Erlong to Spirit Hall after Bibi Dong summoned him to the Papal Palace.

• Bibi Dong admitted she still wanted to restore her cultivation and keep what she had, and Ning Xian told her she would have to handle the Worship Hall herself.

Bibi Dong submitted to Ning Xian and followed him to Dugu Manor, where he restored her cultivation and replaced her damaged Rakshasa Godhood with a new Divine Core of life and death.

As he prepared to take Dugu Yan to find her fifth Soul Ring, a new Golden Ranking appeared in the sky, reaching beyond the Douluo Continent.
