He explained that their history had diverged sharply, identified Qunyu Pavilion as likely connected to Haiyuan City and Lu Jingming, and recounted the future in which Tang San and his allies defeated Spirit Hall.

• Xuan Zi told the gathered leaders and heroes that he and the Shrek Academy members beside him came from another world ten thousand years in the future.

• Dai Mubai asked about the Spirit Hall Empire, and Xuan Zi revealed that the current world’s history had changed drastically, including Tang Hao’s death and the early rise of god-level enemies.

• Xuan Zi recounted how Tang San and his allies gained divine inheritances and defeated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue at Jialing Pass, leaving the hall stunned.

After Xuan Zi revealed that the Shrek Seven Devils would become gods, the gathered factions began plotting how to claim divine inheritances and reshape their futures. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s residence, Ning Tian arrived with Ma Xiaotao and introduced herself as a descendant, calling Ning Fengzhi, the Douluos, and Ning Rongrong her ancestors.

• Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Xiao Wu reacted to the divine inheritances, while Dai Weisi began resolving to challenge his fate and Xue Beng saw a chance to restore Heaven Dou.

• After the meeting ended, Ning Fengzhi gathered with Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong to discuss the revelations and their plans.
• Ning Tian and Ma Xiaotao entered the courtyard, and Ning Tian performed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s ancient ritual before identifying herself as a descendant and addressing the others as ancestors.

Ning Tian revealed that she was the heir of the future Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and explained why its Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline had not endured. She warned that the Spirit Hall Empire’s two gods and advancing armies left little time to secure divine inheritances, then proposed moving the sect through a Space-Time Channel to her era.

• Ning Tian revealed her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and identified herself as the future Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s heir.
• Ning Tian explained that Ning Rongrong had ascended as the Nine Colored Goddess without leaving lower-realm descendants, so the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline was not passed down.
• Ning Fengzhi invited Ning Tian to share her assessment of Ning Rongrong’s divine position, and she warned that Spirit Hall’s gods and military campaign could overwhelm the continent before their rivals completed divine trials.

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao dismissed the parallel-world ancestors and made clear she would not give up the chance to inherit a divine position.

• Han Ruoruo warned Ma Xiaotao that Xuan Zi's group would pursue the divine inheritance, and Ma Xiaotao scorned the parallel-world ancestors and refused to surrender the opportunity.

Ma Xiaotao rejected the idea that Ma Hongjun’s legacy entitled him to the Evil Fire Phoenix godhood, while Han Ruoruo and Aglaea agreed to pursue power and a way home. Tang San’s group suspected Xuan Zi’s revelations could make them targets, so they planned to secure the Sea God inheritance and prepare for betrayal; Ma Hongjun ended by asking who his future wife was.

• Ma Xiaotao told Han Ruoruo and Aglaea she would openly compete for the Evil Fire Phoenix godhood and would not feel grateful for a bloodline that had caused her years of suffering.
• Han Ruoruo agreed with Ma Xiaotao and reasoned that Xuan Zi had revealed the future to win support from local powers and help them find Sea God Island and a way home.

• Xiao Wu pledged to stay beside Tang San, while Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Bo also affirmed their support for the group.
• Master Yu Xiaogang planned to recruit his father, and Tang San resolved to return to the Clear Sky Sect and seek its support.
• Xiao Wu sensed a mature version of herself, while the older Xiao Wu felt compelled to find and merge with her younger self.
• Huo Yuhao directed the Undead Army against the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python as Beibei, Tang Ya, and Jing Yuan watched; Tang Ya’s failing health depended on limited Holy Spirit Cult medicine.
• Huo Yuhao froze Da Ming and sent the Death Knights charging toward his weakened Inverse Scale, prompting Er Ming to roar in alarm.

Er Ming and Da Ming died in the battle, and Xiao Wu was left confused by the grief she felt after killing Er Ming. After absorbing Er Ming’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao learned that saving Tang Ya would require replenishing her Life Origin as her poison was removed.

• Da Ming fell to the Death Knights, and Er Ming burned his Life Origin before Xiao Wu killed him while protecting Huo Yuhao.
• The two forest overlords’ Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings rose from their corpses, and Huo Yuhao began absorbing Er Ming’s ring.
• Xiao Wu felt intense grief and guilt over Er Ming’s death despite not understanding her connection to him.
• Jing Yuan told Beibei that Tang Ya’s poison had become entwined with her Life Origin and that removing it without replenishment would likely kill her within days.
• Jing Yuan said Tang Ya might survive if her Life Origin could be replenished as the poison was removed, but such a remedy was exceedingly rare.
• Huo Yuhao completed his absorption of Er Ming’s Soul Ring and agreed that restoring Tang Ya’s Life Origin was key to saving her.

Huo Yuhao proposed that Tang Ya could be saved with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and Beibei resolved to obtain it regardless of the cost. Meanwhile, Sea God Island remained under siege by Oser, and Bo Saixi could only hope a qualified Sea God inheritor would appear before the island’s defenses failed.

• Huo Yuhao explained that the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone’s Life Origin could restore Tang Ya while helping her Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolve.
• Beibei overcame his hesitation and vowed to take the soul bone from anyone, even Ancestor Tang San, to save Tang Ya.
• Huo Yuhao said Tang San and his group were likely in the Star Luo Empire, and Jing Yuan watched Beibei accept the consequences of his choice.
• Oser continued attacking Sea God Island’s golden barrier, while Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians faced the approaching collapse of their defenses.
• Bo Saixi recognized that only a person who completed the Sea God’s Nine Trials and inherited the divine seat could defeat Oser, but no qualified inheritor had appeared.

After escaping a deadly encounter, Bai Xiuxiu and Sik Ke reached a parallel world’s Sea God Island, where the island and its defenders were under attack by the Vortex Demon God Oser. Bai Xiuxiu recognized her living mother, Xiao Bai, among the fighters and pleaded with Sik Ke to help her.

• Bo Saixi prayed for the Sea God’s inheritor to arrive as Oser’s attack cracked Sea God Island’s golden barrier.
• Bai Xiuxiu and Sik Ke escaped through a Space-Time Channel after Sik Ke was badly injured by a white-haired young man wielding a scarlet demonic sword.
• Sik Ke sensed familiar but twisted energy and brought Bai Xiuxiu toward the source of the disturbance.
• They discovered Oser, a Negative Energy Memory Core, assaulting Sea God Island while Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan defended it.
• Bai Xiuxiu recognized Xiao Bai as her mother from this parallel world and, overwhelmed by grief and longing, begged Sik Ke to save her and the island.

Sik Ke aided Bai Xiuxiu and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan against Oser, while Poseidon and the Seven Sacred Pillars protected Sea God Island. Hysilens and Kritias arrived as reinforcements, helping the defenders defeat Oser and leave the battered sea to calm.

• Sik Ke brought Bai Xiuxiu to the battlefield and destroyed Oser's vortex, easing the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan's pressure as Xiao Bai led her clan back into the fight.
• Poseidon raised Sea God's Light to shield Sea God Island, but Oser struck the barrier and Sik Ke injured herself attacking the Demon God.
• Hysilens and Kritias arrived, with Hysilens striking Oser using a giant whale made of seawater and Kritias empowering the fighters with Chess Piece Phantoms.
• Kritias's power suppressed Sik Ke's injuries, allowing her, Hysilens, Poseidon, Xiao Bai, and the defenders to launch a combined assault on Oser.
• The combined attacks broke through Oser's defenses, and the Demon God collapsed into the deep sea.

After defeating Oser, Hysilens, Kritias, and Sik Ke accompanied Bo Saixi to Sea God Island, where Bai Xiuxiu revealed that she was Xiao Bai’s daughter from a parallel world ten thousand years in the future. As Xiao Bai comforted her, Bo Saixi received the Sea God’s message and asked Hysilens to accept the Sea God’s Nine Trials and inherit the Divine Seat; Kritias began to infer why the Sea God had brought them together.

• Kritias warned Bo Saixi that Oser had only been driven back and would return once it recovered.
• Hysilens and Kritias explained that they had come from beyond this world, and Sik Ke urged Bai Xiuxiu to reveal her identity.
• Bai Xiuxiu told Bo Saixi and Xiao Bai that she was Xiao Bai’s daughter from a parallel Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the future.
• Bai Xiuxiu recounted how the Demon Empress had nearly wiped out the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, and Xiao Bai embraced her to comfort her.
• The Sea God told Bo Saixi that Hysilens could inherit the Divine Seat and that a new Sea God was needed to defeat the sea demon for good.
• Bo Saixi asked Hysilens to accept the Sea God’s Nine Trials, while Hysilens looked to Kritias for guidance.

Hysilens accepted the Sea God's Nine Trials after Kerudela recognized that the inheritance could help her become independent and regain her divine strength. In Heaven Dou City, Lu Jingming and his allies cornered Hanabi, who remained trapped between Jing Liu's sword and Gu Yuena's elemental power.

• Kerudela approved of Hysilens accepting the Sea God's inheritance, and Hysilens agreed to undertake the Nine Trials.
• Lu Jingming spotted Hanabi moving unnoticed through Heaven Dou City and decided to capture her.
• Liu Ying transformed into Sam and struck at Hanabi's apparent body, but the figure proved to be an illusion.
• Castorice confronted the real Hanabi with her death domain, but Hanabi escaped again using an illusion and spatial trick.
• Gu Yuena blocked Hanabi's escape, and Jing Liu struck through the spatial fissure with an Ice Sword, forcing Hanabi back into the alley.

Lu Jingming captured Hanabi after she tried to escape and punished her, but her bizarre enjoyment of the humiliation made him reconsider how to deal with her. Hanabi became fascinated by Lu Jingming and eagerly asked whether he would keep her close.

• Lu Jingming caught Hanabi and held her while Gu Yuena, Jing Liu, Liu Ying, and Castorice blocked her escape.
• Hanabi pretended to surrender, but Lu Jingming turned her over his knee and spanked her as punishment.
• Hanabi responded to the punishment with twisted excitement, shocking Lu Jingming and the others.
• Lu Jingming reconsidered killing Hanabi, recognizing that she had not seriously harmed anyone or ruined his plans.
• Hanabi became intrigued by Lu Jingming and asked whether he would lock her away or keep her by his side.
