Qi Ling left Blood Devil’s cave with the Demon God Godhood and reunited with Lei Zhen, who promised to build his strength while Qi Ling pursued his own.

After reuniting with them, he learned Tang San and Hu Liena planned to enter the Divine Realm soon, while Bei Na immediately challenged him to a fight.

• Qi Ling entered the Pope's Palace and watched Bibi Dong after she dismissed the elders.
• Bibi Dong murmured that she felt Qi Ling nearby, then told herself she was imagining it because she missed him.

• Qi Ling spoke from hiding, startling Qian Renxue, who admitted she had missed him.
• Qi Ling embraced Qian Renxue, and she welcomed him back.

• Qi Ling embraced Qian Renxue, who blushed under his affection while Bibi Dong teased her.
• Bibi Dong guessed that her ominous feelings had come from Qi Ling facing danger and asked him to explain what had happened.
• Qi Ling recounted some of his perilous experiences in the Devil Realm, prompting Bibi Dong to chastise him for risking his life.
• Bibi Dong said she had found a successor to lead Spirit Hall and summoned Jeanne, the new Holy Maiden and leading candidate for the next Pope.
• Jeanne arrived and curiously glanced at Qi Ling as she asked Bibi Dong why she had summoned her.

Qi Ling told Jeanne she could observe him to decide whether he was trustworthy, then gathered his companions in Dragon's Glory City and explained the Divine Realm and Devil Realm. He planned for Tang San and the others to enter the Divine Realm, while he would go alone to the Devil Realm for reasons he kept secret.

• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue praised Jeanne's abilities, and Qi Ling invited her to observe him and judge whether he was trustworthy.
• Qi Ling, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue traveled to Dragon's Glory City, where they waited for Tang San and the others to return from the Star Luo Empire.

• Qi Ling explained the Divine Realm and Devil Realm, then told everyone he planned to go to the Devil Realm alone while they entered the Divine Realm after obtaining Godhoods.
• Tang San asked whether the group could help Qi Ling in the Devil Realm, but Qi Ling told them to follow the original plan and go to the Divine Realm.

Qi Ling worried that the women close to him lacked the talent to gain Godhood and would not adapt to life in the Divine or Devil Realm. Dragon Maiden said the Divine Dragon Emperor's power gave him a safe way to solve the problem, but she did not yet explain how.

• Qi Ling promised Yu Tianyi that he would take her to find a suitable Godhood if she reached level 90 within the month.
• Yu Tianyi returned to cultivation, while Qi Ling reflected that he had already found a Godhood suited to her but could not help Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Tuoliya, and Dugu Yan in the same way.
• Qi Ling spent the afternoon worrying about how to keep the women close to him from aging on the Douluo Continent or struggling to adapt to another realm.
• Dragon Maiden visited Qi Ling, laughed at his troubles, and said that the Divine Dragon Emperor's power he had obtained could solve them safely without requiring Godhood assessments.

Qi Ling learned that his Dragon God Divinity could let people close to him remain in the Divine Realm as his Divine Favored, though lending power could slow his cultivation. He gathered Dugu Yan, Tuoliya, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er to discuss the choice, while suspecting one person would refuse because of her great responsibilities.

• Dragon Maiden explained that Qi Ling could share his Godhood’s power with eligible family members and lovers, allowing them to stay in the Divine Realm as his Divine Favored.
• Qi Ling learned that Divine Favored would gain godlike power, but lending power to someone who did not cultivate could hinder his progress.
• Qi Ling told Dragon Maiden he would ask his companions what they wanted and accepted that lending power could still be worthwhile even if they stayed behind.
• That evening, Qi Ling gathered Dugu Yan, Tuoliya, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er to speak with them about the Divine Realm.
• Dugu Yan, Tuoliya, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er felt Qi Ling’s divine pressure when they met him again.

Qi Ling reunited with Dugu Yan, Tuoliya, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er, helping them overcome their unease about his new divine presence. The next morning, he spoke with Tang San about plans to travel to the Divine Realm, then left for the Heaven Dou Empire’s palace to visit Xue Ke.

• Qi Ling learned that his new divine presence made Dugu Yan and Tuoliya feel reverence and hesitate to approach him.
• Huo Wu flicked Qi Ling’s forehead to show she was not afraid of him, and Shui Bing’er, Dugu Yan, and Tuoliya did the same.
• Qi Ling embraced the four women, and they spent the night together.
• Qi Ling asked Tang San when he and Hu Liena would leave for the Divine Realm; Tang San said they would wait for Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, and Xiao Wu, and that Tang Hao and his mother would stay behind.
• Qi Ling checked on Yu Tianyi, who had cultivated through the night, then left for the Heaven Dou Empire’s imperial palace to visit Xue Ke.

Qi Ling returned to the imperial palace and reunited with Xue Ke, then told her about the Divine Realm and Devil Realm and asked whether she would leave with him. Xue Ke chose to stay and rule the Heaven Dou Empire, then reminded Qi Ling of his promise to give her a child.

• Qi Ling entered the court hall unnoticed until Xue Ke recognized him and dismissed the ministers so they could speak privately.
• Xue Ke embraced Qi Ling after asking his permission, then asked whether he had returned because he had something to tell her.

• Xue Ke teased Qi Ling about his unfulfilled promise to give her a child and insisted that he make it up to her immediately.

Qi Ling returned from the Heaven Dou Empire and learned that Ma Hongjun had qualified for the Fire God’s assessment, but was still neglecting his training. Qi Ling arranged for Tang Hao to train Ma Hongjun at the Clear Sky Sect.

• Xue Ke asked Qi Ling to call each other husband and wife, and they spent several days together while she missed morning court.
• Qi Ling left the palace and returned to Dragon's Glory, where he found Ma Hongjun asleep instead of training.
• Ma Hongjun told Qi Ling that he had received an invitation to the Fire God's assessment, which he could begin after reaching the Titled Douluo realm.

• Qi Ling chose Tang Hao to train Ma Hongjun and asked Tang San to take him to the Clear Sky Sect.

Yu Tianyi reached level ninety, and Qi Ling prepared to help her qualify for the Lightning God’s inheritance. At Doomsday Canyon, he unleashed a Devil Realm thundercloud and explained that she had to pass through its strongest bolt of lightning to reach the inheritance gate.

• Ma Hongjun persuaded Qi Ling to send Dai Mubai and Oscar to cultivate with him in Clear Sky, and Qi Ling set all three a goal of reaching Titled Douluo strength within three years.
• Yu Tianyi announced that she had broken through to level ninety, and Qi Ling told her the Lightning God’s Godhood best suited her lightning-attribute Martial Soul.

• Qi Ling explained that Yu Tianyi had to endure the thundercloud’s power and pass through its strongest bolt to qualify for the Thunder God’s inheritance assessment.
• Qi Ling released the thundercloud, which spread lightning across Doomsday Canyon, and Yu Tianyi agreed to begin the dangerous trial.

• Qi Ling caught Yu Tianyi and revealed the colossal tree and shrine where the Thunder God's Godhood lay.
• Yu Tianyi touched the shrine doors, which opened after the purple lightning recognized her qualifications.
• Yu Tianyi and Qi Ling entered the shrine, where a purple-haired woman introduced herself as the Thunder God and welcomed Yu Tianyi as a challenger.

Yu Tianyi began preparing for the Thunder God's first assessment while Qi Ling searched the Douluo Continent for Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe, whose whereabouts remained unknown. Bibi Dong invited Qi Ling on an outing, and he agreed to go with her and A Xue.

• The Thunder God warned Qi Ling not to interfere with Yu Tianyi's assessment and set the first test, the Endless Thunder Prison, to begin after three days.
• Qi Ling explained that Yu Tianyi could absorb the concentrated lightning elements in her Thunder Dragon form, and she transformed to recover her strength.
• Qi Ling returned to the Douluo Continent and searched for Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe, but he could not find them and suspected their presence was concealed.
• Bibi Dong invited Qi Ling to go sightseeing, and he agreed to join her and A Xue.

Qi Ling traveled through the Heaven Dou Empire with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, relaxing while secretly searching for Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe. Their outing ended with Bibi Dong teasing Qi Ling into guessing what touched him, and Qian Renxue shyly kissing him.

• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue agreed to travel with Qi Ling and enjoy the scenic spots around the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Qi Ling secretly searched for traces of Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe, trusting his intuition that they were somewhere in the empire.

• Qian Renxue kissed Qi Ling several more times, and he finally admitted defeat rather than name her.

• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue teased Qi Ling by letting him look at them but forbidding him to touch, until he surrendered and then took control of their intimate encounter.
• Qi Ling, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue continued traveling together for several days while he searched for traces of Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe.
• On the seventh day, Qi Ling connected the directions of the traces he had sensed and identified a southern duchy in the Heaven Dou Empire as their likely hiding place.
• Qi Ling told Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue about his search, and they insisted on accompanying him despite his preference to go alone.
• After arriving in the area, Qi Ling sensed an evil presence and realized that an unknown power seemed to have separated the place from the outside world.

Qi Ling, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue traced a spreading evil presence to an underground hall beneath the duchy's royal palace, where a powerful black seal blocked the source. Qi Ling decided he and Bibi Dong would combine their strength to destroy it in one strike, leaving them poised to attack.

• Bibi Dong urged Qi Ling to stop the evil presence before it caused a devastating tragedy, and the trio followed it to the duchy's capital.
• Qi Ling suspected Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe had taken control of the palace and might be planning a scheme that threatened the duchy and beyond.
• Qi Ling, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue entered the palace, whose residents appeared dazed and lifeless, then split up to search for the source of the evil.
• The trio found a black seal on the doors of an underground hall, and Qian Renxue discovered that it reflected attacks unless destroyed in one blow.
• Qian Renxue offered to test the seal, but Qi Ling insisted on striking it himself and said Qian Xunji had not accounted for Bibi Dong fighting alongside him.

Qi Ling and Bibi Dong combined their powers to strike Qian Xunji’s seal, with Bibi Dong revealing that Yue Shen was a Support System Martial Soul. Their strengthened attack met the seal and stalled, leaving its fate unresolved.
