After seeing Wu Wei devour Soul Beasts to improve his Soul Rings, Gu Yuena and the Ferocious Beasts feared the method would endanger the Soul Beast Clan. Di Tian urged the clan to wage war on humanity, and Gu Yuena was left to decide whether to act.

• Er Ming and Da Ming watched Wu Wei on the Heavenly Screen and worried that Soul Masters might use his method to hunt Soul Beasts more effectively.
• Gu Yuena concluded that Wu Wei should be killed before human factions could obtain his method, and the Scarlet King volunteered to find him.

The Snow Empress and Ice Empress decided to contact Soul Beasts in other regions after realizing Wu Wei’s Blood Essence Soul Ring could threaten their kind. Meanwhile, Wu Wei continued improving his Soul Ring and began researching a Soul Skill to contract Soul Beasts, leaving Ye Si and Qian Yuhan ready to offer advice.

• The Ice Empress warned the Snow Empress that humans might learn to devour Soul Beasts and upgrade Soul Rings, and the Snow Empress agreed the Soul Beast Clan needed to fight back.
• The Snow Empress pointed out that the Far North’s Soul Beasts could not stand against humans alone, so she and the Ice Empress decided to contact Soul Beasts in other regions.
• Wu Wei raised his First Soul Ring’s structural level to the thousand-year quality and resolved to rely on automatic cultivation instead of training himself.

• Wu Wei asked Ye Si and Qian Yuhan for ideas about pet contracts, and Ye Si began sharing what she knew.

Wu Wei’s plan to develop a Contract Soul Skill and enslave the Angel God and Rakshasa God provoked outrage, envy, and satisfaction among those watching the Heavenly Screen. Two days later, he successfully developed the Enslavement Contract, used it to bind a Soft Bone Rabbit to him, and stunned Ye Si.

• Qian Daoliu cursed Wu Wei’s research to fail, while Bibi Dong condemned Ye Si’s behavior and little Wu Wei vowed to find beauties of his own.

• Wu Wei continued hunting Soul Beasts, and after another week his First Soul Ring became thousand-year quality while his Soul Power rose from level 10 to level 14.
• Wu Wei told Ye Si he would pause hunting until he reached level 20 because his Soul Power cultivation was preventing his First Soul Ring from advancing further.

Wu Wei left the Soul Beast forest with Ye Si and Qian Yuhan after his Blood Essence Soul Ring improved rapidly, prompting Soul Masters to imitate him. Yu Xiaogang warned Tang Xiao that the method would accelerate Soul Beast decline, and persuaded the Clear Sky Sect to publicize the danger and announce its return.

• Wu Wei explained that his first seven Blood Essence Soul Rings remained black by choice, then set off for the forest’s outskirts with Ye Si and Qian Yuhan.

• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang Xiao to make the warning public, and Tang Xiao agreed to announce the Clear Sky Sect’s return.

Yu Xiaogang’s warning about Soul Beasts becoming scarce was mocked by many, but Spirit Hall and other factions backed restrictions on indiscriminate hunting.
