After absorbing the Mirror Image Soul Bone, Gui Yuan gained a powerful clone and a spatial domain, while the bone also improved his Sixth Soul Skill. He and the others recovered at a hotel and then set off back to Spirit Hall.

• Gui Yuan finished absorbing the Soul Bone and told Bibi Dong that it had raised his Spiritual Power to the Titled Douluo level and granted him a mirror image clone that could use all his Martial Souls and Soul Ring skills.
• Gui Yuan described his Domain of Ten Thousand Mirrors, which created spatial mirrors that let his original body and clone swap positions.

• After resting for two days, Gui Yuan and the others set off for Spirit Hall, while Guang Ling wondered what Gui Yuan’s Soul Skill would become at rank seventy.

After returning from the Far North, Gui Yuan discovered that his Reflection Chrysanthemum could give Yue Guan the Two-Level Stillness Domain, raising the possibility that Spirit Hall could mass-produce the powerful ability. He then offered his sixty-thousand-year Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who argued over which of them should absorb it.

• Gui Yuan returned to Spirit Hall as a rank sixty-six Soul Emperor and learned that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had helped Xie Yue obtain a spatial Soul Beast and a fifth Soul Skill.
• Gui Yuan told Yue Guan and Gui Mei about his sixth Soul Skill and the Reflection Skull Bone’s copying ability, and Yue Guan wondered whether it could replicate the Two-Level Stillness Domain.
• Gui Yuan created a Singular Velvet Image Chrysanthemum for Yue Guan, who consumed it and successfully used the Two-Level Stillness Domain through his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Gui Mei’s Netherworld Power.

Gui Yuan’s fathers settled the dispute over the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s skull bone, while the Evil God King discovered Gui Yuan and discussed selecting him as an inheritor with the Godess of Kindness. The two God Kings considered descending to the lower realm for fun, but made no final decision.

• The Godess of Kindness agreed Gui Yuan deserved attention, and the God of Evil said Gui Yuan might be able to inherit two godhoods.

The God of Evil chose Gui Yuan as his successor, while the Godess of Kindness decided to keep searching before committing to him. Gui Mei absorbed the sixty-thousand-year Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull and gained a spiritual suppression skill, while Gui Yuan unexpectedly received the God of Evil's inheritance.

• The Godess of Kindness agreed that Gui Yuan might inherit her godhood but chose to look for other candidates first, while the God of Evil decided to pass his inheritance to Gui Yuan.

• While Gui Yuan cultivated that night, the God of Evil announced that Gui Yuan had received his inheritance and named him his successor.

Gui Yuan decided to prepare carefully for the God of Evil’s First Trial and resolved to visit Slaughter City after the Soul Master Tournament. He copied the abilities of seven powerful people with his Sixth Soul Skill and prepared to spar with Jiang Mo as his Soul Power recovered.

• Qian Daoliu warned Gui Yuan that the God of Evil’s First Trial tested character and advised him to prepare before attempting it.
• Gui Yuan lamented that the God of Evil might not give him a Divine Artifact and decided to seek the Divine Slaughter’s Domain in Slaughter City after the tournament.

• Gui Yuan used blood from Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo to create Reflection Chrysanthemums that copied their abilities.
• Gui Yuan consumed a Singular Velvet Life-Giving Pistil to recover his nearly depleted Soul Power while the Enshrined waited for the spar to begin.

• Demon Subduing Douluo beckoned Gui Yuan to demonstrate his true combat power.

• Gui Yuan transformed with the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor Martial Soul and attacked Jiang Mo with his Sixth Soul Skill, Space-Rending Abyss Slash.
• Jiang Mo blocked the slash with his Fifth Soul Skill, and Gui Yuan used the collision as cover to attack from behind with Eternal Wound.

Qian Daoliu questioned whether anyone besides Gui Yuan could handle the Darkin Bow, raising a potential obstacle to the training.

• Demon Subduing Douluo praised Gui Yuan's sixth Soul Skill and asked him to make Singular Velvet Spirit Chrysanthemum for the consecrators using Bibi Dong's blood.

• Gui Yuan eagerly accepted Guang Ling's offer and said he was prepared to endure hardship to grow stronger.
• Qian Daoliu pointed out that the Darkin Bow's protective mechanism might prevent anyone but Gui Yuan from touching it.

Gui Yuan proved that the Darkin Bow would only obey him, then trained with Light Feather Douluo until he mastered the basics of archery and could form a purple-black Darkin dragon. On his eleventh birthday, he reached Soul Power level 67 and considered how to manage his future cultivation and delay adding Soul Rings to his second Martial Soul.

• Gui Yuan let Qian Daoliu touch the Darkin Bow, but Qian Daoliu could not activate it and returned it to Gui Yuan.
• Light Feather Douluo explained that only the Darkin Bow’s chosen master could wield it and offered to teach Gui Yuan archery using the Light Feather Divine Bow as a model.
• After several months of instruction, Gui Yuan mastered archery techniques and replicated Light Feather Douluo’s ice dragon move as a purple-black Darkin dragon.
• On his eleventh birthday, Gui Yuan’s Soul Power rose from level 66 to level 67, and he noticed that his cultivation was slowing.
• Gui Yuan considered using Level Up! to break through from level 98 to level 100, then decided to wait until level 90 before absorbing the remaining eight Soul Rings for his second Martial Soul.

Gui Yuan persuaded Bibi Dong to let him leave Spirit City and train alone, despite her worries about his safety. He planned to travel toward Nuoding City to find the buried Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone before Tang San could claim it.

• Gui Yuan asked Bibi Dong for permission to travel the continent, arguing that he needed experience and could protect himself.
• Bibi Dong worried about the dangers and initially considered waiting until after the Soul Master Tournament, but Gui Yuan's arguments about his growth and divine trial persuaded her.
• Bibi Dong offered to send Yue Guan and Gui Mei with Gui Yuan, but he refused so he could face challenges himself and keep them available to help her.

She and Qian Daoliu began preparations to investigate the continent and set their plan to bring Qian Renxue back from the Heaven Dou Empire into motion.

• Yue Guan told Bibi Dong that Xiao Yuan had departed alone and left her a letter.
• Bibi Dong read Xiao Yuan’s letter, which described his dream of the God of Love, the Sun Moon Continent, and the seven-hundred-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant King.

• Qian Daoliu ordered Gui Mei to visit the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and tell Qian Renxue to prepare to return.
• Spirit Hall’s plan to stage an attack on the Heaven Dou crown prince’s convoy would let Qian Renxue fake her death and inflame tensions between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue worried that Gui Yuan had left Spirit Hall alone, while Xie Yue resolved to keep cultivating for the upcoming tournament.

Gui Yuan left Nuoding City to search for the Blue Silver Emperor, while Shrek Academy admitted Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

At a hotel, Chen Xin told Ning Rongrong he had found a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, and she urged him to absorb its soul bone for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Gui Yuan arrived at Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden, reunited with him, and stunned him by revealing his rank-67 Soul Power at just over eleven years old.

• Ning Rongrong warned Chen Xin that Tang San might go mad if Xiao Wu died, and Chen Xin promised to put Rongrong’s safety first by taking her back to the sect.

• Dugu Yan agreed to spar with Gui Yuan, but she was surprised to learn he was a Food System Soul Master with six Soul Rings, including one red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Dugu Yan admitted defeat under the pressure of Gui Yuan’s Soul Rings, and Dugu Bo reflected on how much stronger Gui Yuan was than he had expected.
