The Sky Screen selected five Explorers, including Ning Rongrong, and transported them to the Great Thousand World after Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong failed to break the guiding light. In the first livestream, bandit Wang Mazi encountered a small boy in an ancient forest and tried to attack him, only for the boy to punch him with tremendous force.

• The Sky Screen selected bandit Wang Mazi, blacksmith Li Si, beggar Zhao Liu, Spirit Hall guard Zhang San, and Ning Rongrong as the first five Explorers.

• The Sky Screen transported all five Explorers to the Great Thousand World and split its display into five livestream feeds.
• Wang Mazi awoke in an ancient forest, spotted a scarlet fruit, and reached to take it.
• A small boy holding half of the fruit questioned Wang Mazi, who tried to grab him and make him serve as a guide.
• The boy called Wang Mazi a bad person and punched his chest, unleashing a deafening sonic blast.

The Sky Screen showed three ordinary people from Douluo Continent dying within minutes of entering the Great Thousand World, where even children and stray spiritual energy possessed lethal power. The survivors in Douluo realized that the world's spiritual treasures and dangers were beyond the reach of the unprepared.

Zhang San arrogantly attacked a Profound Sky Sect servant in the Great Thousand World and was killed with one casual strike. The Sky Screen then focused on the last surviving Explorer, Ning Rongrong, who arrived in the Ice Spirit Clan’s frozen territory with her Martial Soul sealed and provoked a local youth.

• Zhang San threatened a Profound Sky Sect servant and attacked him with his first Soul Skill.
• The servant killed Zhang San with Spiritual Energy Sword Qi and swept away his corpse.
• The Sky Screen showed Ning Rongrong stranded in a blizzard in the Ice Spirit Clan’s territory, where her Martial Soul and Soul Power failed her.
• Ning Rongrong ordered an Ice Spirit Clan youth to find her shelter and promised a reward from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The youth dismissed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a third-rate faction and scorned Ning Rongrong as a powerless mortal.

Ning Rongrong was humiliated by an Ice Spirit Clan boy whose spiritual pressure forced her to her knees, then wandered helplessly through the freezing wilderness trying to find a way home. Exhausted and alone, she encountered an Ice Crystal Horned Beast.

• Ning Rongrong insulted the Ice Spirit Clan boy, who subdued her with Divine Soul Realm spiritual pressure and forced her face-first into the snow.
• The boy released Ning Rongrong and warned that he would hang her on an iceberg if she caused trouble on Ice Spirit Clan territory again.
• Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and the Shrek Academy group watched the sky-screen images, powerless to help Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Rongrong saw the distant Ice Spirit God Clan sacred mountain, then wandered for hours through the snowfields, begging Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone to take her home.
• An Ice Crystal Horned Beast appeared in front of the exhausted Ning Rongrong, frightening her.

Yu Xiaogang wrongly judged the Ice Crystal Horned Beast to be a weak soul beast, but it nearly killed Ning Rongrong before fleeing from a greater presence. An Ancient Frost Flood Dragon carrying the Profound Ice Sect and its Sect Master arrived, while Ning Rongrong’s sealed martial soul burst out under its pressure.

• Yu Xiaogang claimed Ning Rongrong could easily escape the Ice Crystal Horned Beast because it was no stronger than a ten-year soul beast.
• The Ice Crystal Horned Beast attacked Ning Rongrong at tremendous speed, then abruptly fled into the snow after sensing a terrifying presence.
• An enormous Ancient Frost Flood Dragon appeared above the ice plains, and its pressure forced people across the Douluo Continent to their knees.

• A young master aboard the flood dragon spotted Ning Rongrong, whose sealed martial soul burst from her body under the beast’s pressure.

Ning Rongrong was captured by the Profound Ice Sect and humiliated as a toy before being brought to the Ice Spirit Clan’s ancestral ceremony. The Ice Spirit Clan welcomed a divine envoy with great honor, while Ning Rongrong’s defiant claims about her status drew ridicule from the gathered factions and angered Tang San and Yu Xiaogang on the Douluo Continent.

• The gray-robed elder seized Ning Rongrong with an ice hand, and the Profound Ice Sect’s young master forced her to display her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as a toy.
• Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo watched helplessly from the Douluo Continent, while Tang San and Flender dismissed the Great Thousand World’s experts as reliant on flashy external power.
• The Profound Ice Sect brought Ning Rongrong to the Ice Spirit Clan’s ancestral ceremony, where over a hundred elders and the supreme elder welcomed a blue-green-dressed envoy from the Great Desolation Divine Realm.
• Ying Huanhuan personally greeted the envoy and asked her to convey greetings to the Changqing Divine Lord.
• Ning Rongrong struggled against her spiritual energy confinement and boasted of her father, sect, and guardians, prompting the gathered experts to mock her and compare her unfavorably with Lin Jing and the Flame Emperor’s daughter.
• Tang San and Yu Xiaogang condemned the Great Thousand World’s experts for belittling Ning Rongrong and Douluo Continent’s strength.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Sea God Island dismissed the Great Thousand World’s powers as inferior, while the Profound Ice Sect elder revealed how the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor had defeated mighty clans. The elder began recounting Su Changqing’s origins, leaving the Douluo Continent listening in suspense.

• Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong vowed to rescue Ning Rongrong and challenged the Great Thousand World’s experts, while Ning Fengzhi urged them to wait for the Sky Screen to select someone from their sect.

• The elder named Su Changqing as the Great Desolation Divine Lord and began describing his impoverished origins and rare Profound Python Fate.

The Sky Screen selected five more explorers, including Ma Hongjun, and sent them to the Great Thousand World after revealing legends of its three supreme powers. Ma Hongjun arrived at the Endless Fire Domain, dismissed its flames, and attacked an Outer Sect disciple, whose response was left unseen.

• A gray-robed old man described how Su Changqing rose from a profound python fate, defeated a phoenix-fated rival, and founded the Great Desolation Divine Realm, leaving Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong shaken.
• The Sky Screen announced that one first-batch explorer had survived and began selecting five more explorers ahead of schedule.
• The Sky Screen selected Qian Duoduo, Su Yuntao, Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Qian Renxue, then transported them away from the Douluo Continent.
• Qian Duoduo landed in a desert and died three seconds later when spatial astral wind reduced him to bloody mist.
• Ma Hongjun arrived at the Endless Fire Domain, boasted that his Evil Fire Phoenix surpassed its flames, and tried to absorb its fire spiritual energy.
• An Endless Fire Domain Outer Sect disciple insulted Ma Hongjun's martial soul as impure garbage, so Ma Hongjun fired his Phoenix Fire Line at him; the disciple did not move as the attack neared.

Ma Hongjun and Su Yuntao entered the Great Thousand World and were quickly killed after underestimating its inhabitants. The Sky Screen then showed Zhao Wuji confronting Mu Chen over a Jade Spirit Fruit in the Northern Spirit Plains.

• An Outer Sect disciple of the Endless Fire Domain erased Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul with a low-grade Beast Fire and burned him to ash.

• Zhao Wuji arrived in the Northern Spirit Plains and dismissed the dangers of the Great Thousand World.
• Zhao Wuji spotted Mu Chen meditating beside a Jade Spirit Fruit and demanded that Mu Chen hand it over.
• Mu Chen told Zhao Wuji to leave, and Zhao Wuji grew furious.

Mu Chen fought Zhao Wuji to a standstill with his Senluo Death Seals, while Qian Renxue was transported to the Great Desolation Divine Realm and defeated by a Black-Robed Elder. The elder bound and took her away to serve as a Sword Attendant, leaving Spirit Hall stunned and Qian Daoliu devastated.

• Zhao Wuji activated his Martial Soul Avatar and attacked Mu Chen, but Mu Chen's Senluo Death Seals forced him back three steps.
• Mu Chen and Zhao Wuji launched another head-on clash after Zhao Wuji used his fifth and sixth Soul Skills.
• Qian Renxue arrived on an Outer Immortal Mountain, where a Black-Robed Elder dismissed her strength and ordered her taken to serve as a Sword Attendant.
• Qian Renxue attacked the Black-Robed Elder with her fifth Soul Skill, but he caught and shattered her Holy Sword with two fingers, then knocked her to the ground.
• The Black-Robed Elder crushed Qian Renxue to her knees, bound her, and took her into the void despite her protests.
• Spirit Hall watched Qian Renxue being carried away, and Qian Daoliu collapsed in despair.

Qian Renxue was taken to the Great Desolation Divine Realm, where the Marrow-Washing Pool began purifying her body and transforming her power. Su Changqing briefly noticed her but treated her as an ordinary new worker, while he arranged a lavish return gift for the Martial Realm.

• The black-robed elder brought Qian Renxue into the Great Desolation Divine Realm, whose immense spiritual energy and divine creatures stunned her.
• Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Tang San watched the sky screen and realized how insignificant the Douluo Continent was beside the Great Thousand World.
• Deacon Yun ordered the maidservants to place Qian Renxue in the Marrow-Washing Pool, where her soul rings were destroyed and her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul began merging with her body.
• Su Changqing learned that Lin Dong's Supreme Nine-Nether Immortal Lotus was thriving in the Creation Star Pool and ordered three drops of Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow and two high-grade sacred artifacts sent to the Martial Realm.
• Su Changqing noticed Qian Renxue in the pool, dismissed her as a newly arrived odd-job worker, and withdrew his divine sense as the pool expelled her impurities and filled her with Great Thousand World spiritual energy.

Qian Renxue reshaped her Spiritual Root in the Marrow-Washing Pool and became a maid in the Great Desolation Divine Realm, while Chen Xin was selected as an additional explorer. He arrived not at the Ice Spirit Clan but in a strange Sword Domain, where his Seven Kill Sword reacted to a colossal sword bearing the words “Sword Domain.”

• Qian Renxue merged her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul into her body, reached the threshold of the Spirit Movement Realm, and accepted the role of a sword-bearing maid in the Great Desolation Divine Realm Outer Hall.
• The white-robed maid showed Qian Renxue the Outer Hall, where jade paving stones and a seemingly ordinary leaf-sweeping old man revealed the realm’s extraordinary power.
• Tang San envied Qian Renxue’s opportunity, while Bibi Dong watched her daughter’s transformation with mixed feelings.
• The Sky Screen announced that Qian Renxue had joined the Great Desolation Divine Realm and that Zhao Wuji remained in a standoff with Mu Chen, then selected Sword Douluo Chen Xin as an additional explorer.
• Chen Xin was transported to the Sword Domain instead of the Ice Spirit Clan, where the sharp Sword Qi cut his cheek and his Seven Kill Sword emerged and pointed toward a colossal sword.

Chen Xin entered the Sword Domain, where a herdboy named Jian Jiushi'er erased his Martial Soul Avatar and exposed how little he understood the sword. A Ninth Swordmaster then severed a river of stars with two fingers, while the Sky Screen revealed that Mu Chen had killed Zhao Wuji and selected Dai Mubai as the next Explorer.

• Chen Xin approached the river of Sword Qi, and Jian Jiushi'er dismissed his Seven Kill Sword as brittle.
• Chen Xin unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, but Jian Jiushi'er erased it with a willow twig and split the river of Sword Qi.
• Jian Jiushi'er told Chen Xin that his sword was merely shaped energy, then bowed as the Ninth Swordmaster arrived.
• The Ninth Swordmaster severed a vast river of stars with two fingers, leaving Chen Xin stunned by the difference in their swordsmanship.
• The Sky Screen announced that Mu Chen had killed Zhao Wuji and selected Dai Mubai as the next Explorer.

After Zhao Wuji’s death in the Great Thousand World, Dai Mubai was selected as the next explorer and arrived in an unfamiliar city. He tried to manipulate Lin Jing into trusting him and surrendering her treasure, but she dismissed him as too weak to protect her and he continued following her.

• Yu Xiaogang argued that Zhao Wuji had died because he fought recklessly, and advised Shrek Academy to use cautious tactics in the Great Thousand World.
• The Sky Screen selected Dai Mubai, and he promised Zhu Zhuqing he would find a way to change his fate before he vanished into the Great Thousand World.
• Dai Mubai arrived in a vast city, struggled under its oppressive energy, and decided to keep a low profile while searching for information and opportunities.
• Dai Mubai approached Lin Jing as she chose a white kitten, introduced himself as a prince, and tried to impress her by belittling the pet and promising to find her a stronger Spirit Beast.
• Lin Jing paid for the kitten with a drop of extraordinary spirit liquid, prompting Dai Mubai to claim he should safeguard her treasures because he could protect her.
• Lin Jing mocked Dai Mubai as too weak to match even her family’s guard dog, and he followed her for the next hour despite her rejection.

Lin Jing’s extravagant shopping and Dai Mubai’s attempt to rob and assault her led him to confront Lin Diao and Lin Yan, powerful Martial Realm leaders. Dai Mubai attacked them with a Soul Skill, but Lin Yan dispelled it with a single breath, leaving Dai Mubai stunned.

• Lin Jing spent valuable spiritual treasures freely while shopping, prompting observers on the Douluo Continent to speculate about her backing.
• Dai Mubai followed Lin Jing into a secluded Purple Bamboo Forest and threatened to take her pouch and force her to serve him.
• Lin Diao and Lin Yan revealed themselves in a pavilion, but Dai Mubai mistook them for ordinary men and ordered them to leave.
• Lin Yan stood, and his pressure made Dai Mubai struggle to breathe; Dai Mubai nevertheless launched his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave at the two men.
• Lin Yan blew once and shattered Dai Mubai’s attack, leaving Dai Mubai in disbelief.

Lin Yan and Lin Diao revealed the overwhelming Dharma Appearances of the Yin-Yang Saint Tiger and Heavenly Demon Marten, crushing Dai Mubai’s Martial Soul and leaving him gravely injured. As Lin Jing watched and teased him, the scene’s broadcast stunned the Star Luo court, which had been watching Dai Mubai in the Great Thousand World.

• Lin Yan summoned the Yin-Yang Saint Tiger Dharma Appearance, while Lin Diao manifested the Heavenly Demon Marten behind him.
• The two Heavenly Sovereign-level Divine Beast phantoms overwhelmed Dai Mubai, causing his Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul to collapse.
• Dai Mubai suffered a violent backlash, lost his level thirty-seven Soul Power, and fell to his knees with shattered kneecaps.
• Lin Jing praised Lin Yan’s Dharma Appearance and watched Dai Mubai while eating Spiritual Fruits.
• In the Star Luo imperial capital, Dai Tianfeng and his court fell silent as they watched the terrifying phantoms appear.

Dai Tianfeng realized Dai Mubai had offended the Little Princess of the Martial Realm and feared the Star Luo Empire would be destroyed. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian watched the Sky Screen and questioned the limits placed on Soul Beasts in his world.

• The Star Luo imperial family and White Tiger Martial Soul users were forced to kneel before the Yin-Yang Saint Tiger on the Sky Screen, while Dai Tianfeng struggled to remain standing.
• Dai Tianfeng recognized Lin as the Martial Ancestor’s daughter and panicked that Dai Mubai’s actions could bring the Star Luo Empire’s destruction.
• The Star Luo officials and imperial family begged Dai Tianfeng for a way to avert the consequences of Dai Mubai’s offense.
• At the Lake of Life, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the other Ferocious Beasts trembled before the divine manifestations on the Sky Screen.
• Di Tian sensed that the Yin-Yang Saint Tiger and Sky Demon Marten surpassed Soul Beasts and wondered if even the Dragon God would be inferior to them.
• Di Tian compared the freedom of Divine Beasts in the Great Thousand World with his own people’s oppression and questioned why Soul Beasts were denied the right to pursue the Great Dao.
