Di Tian learned that the Silver Dragon King had halted his attack because Yang Podi possessed unusual strength and the Asura Demonic Sword, while divine successors were also present. The Silver Dragon King left the Star Dou Great Forest in human form to investigate the upheaval obscuring Douluo’s future, leaving Di Tian in charge as Yang Podi sensed a faint danger.

• Bibi Dong spent three days absorbing the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring while a Healing System Soul Saint treated the unconscious Sky Azure Bull Python.
• Qian Renxue took Yang Podi aside and demanded to know what he intended to do about their time together in the Rakshasa Secret Realm illusion.

Yang Podi challenged Qian Renxue to reconsider what it meant to inherit the Angel Godhood and lead the Spirit Hall Empire, contrasting her confidence with Bibi Dong’s achievements and his own sacrifices. Qian Renxue was left silent as she realized how little she understood about Yang Podi and the costs behind his rise.

• Yang Podi told Qian Renxue that inheriting the Angel Godhood required more than bloodline and talent, and urged her to understand the first Angel God’s faith, decisiveness, and capacity to kill.
• Qian Renxue asked whether Yang Podi thought she was inferior to Ye Lingling, and he explained that her leadership carried responsibilities that Lingling did not bear.

Qian Renxue reflected on how Yang Podi had helped Heavenly Pursuit Academy grow into a powerful force while avoiding enemies, and he criticized her decisions during her Heaven Dou Empire infiltration. Their argument turned to her painful childhood and her mother, Bibi Dong, leaving Qian Renxue in tears as Yang Podi comforted her and urged her to seek the truth herself.

He left Bo Saixi heading toward Tang San’s group with news of the Clear Sky Sect’s destruction, while he began asking Xiao Bai about the sea.

• Yang Podi told Bo Saixi that he had only fought back against the Clear Sky Sect and that Heavenly Pursuit Academy had stayed neutral during the Spirit Hall Empire’s attacks.
• Yang Podi revealed that the Clear Sky Sect had likely been destroyed and that Tang San was its only surviving member; Bo Saixi reacted with anger and asked about Tang Chen.

Yang Podi learned from Xiao Bai that the Sun Moon Continent lay west of Douluo Continent and set out across the sea to find it.

• Yang Podi arrived on the Sun Moon Continent and found that its people shared his language and relied heavily on Soul Tools and Soul Engineers.

Yang Podi confronted the Evil Emperor in the depths of the Evil Demon Forest, seeking the seven-hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual-type Soul Beast for its Soul Ring.

• Yang Podi shattered the Evil Emperor’s attack but suffered a severe chest wound, and the Evil Emperor was left close to death.

• The Evil Emperor considered Yang Podi’s offer for several minutes and agreed to sacrifice himself because he was gravely injured and unable to recover.

Yang Podi absorbed the Evil Emperor's sacrifice, gaining immense power, new Soul Skills, and a deeper grasp of time and the laws of Douluo Star, though heaven and earth still prevented him from becoming a god. He considered relocating the Evil Eye Clan to Mount Aermo, but abandoned the plan until he had dealt with the Ferocious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Yang Podi completed the fourth Asura trial, gained ten percent Asura Affinity, and learned that his fifth trial required him to defeat Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu within a year.
• The Asura God told the Sea God that the fifth trial was meant to test Yang Podi against divine power and teach him the difference between it and Soul Power.
• The Sea God warned that Destruction, Life, or the Angel God’s successor might draw Yang Podi away, but the Asura God insisted his inheritance had the advantage on Douluo Star.
• Yang Podi left the Evil Demon Forest and used Spiritual Illusion to pass unseen through the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Yang Podi explored the academy’s modern grounds and arrived at Mingde Hall.

Yang Podi looted Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy before flying to Sea God Island, where he told Tang San and his companions what he knew about the Spirit Hall Empire’s attacks. The group was left facing the possible destruction of their families and clans, while Tang San and Dai Mubai’s desire for revenge deepened.

• Yang Podi spent two days taking Mingde Hall’s books, materials, Soul Tools, and more than a dozen promising Soul Engineers, then left the Sun Moon Empire undetected.

• Yang Podi rejected Tai Long's accusation, recounting how the clans had severed their ties and how the Clear Sky Sect had wronged the Breaking Clan.
• Tang San blamed Yang Podi for Tang Hao's death, but Yang Podi defended his actions and challenged the Clear Sky Sect's entitlement.
• Yang Podi warned Bo Saixi that the Spirit Hall Empire had destroyed both imperial families and might attack Vast Sea City; he refused Tai Long's plea to save the Strength and Speed Clans.
• Bo Saixi said outsiders could not enter Sea God Island, then asked Yang Podi why he had come; Yang Podi requested a match against her.

• Yang Podi asked whether the exchange counted as his victory, and the Sea God confirmed that he had won.

Yang Podi defeated Bo Saixi after the Sea God intervened, while the Sea God and Asura God debated whether Yang Podi was fit to become the next Asura God. Bo Saixi returned to Sea God Island with a wound that would not heal and ordered the Seven Sacred Pillars to patrol the island.

• The Sea God and Asura God reviewed Yang Podi’s battle with Bo Saixi, and Asura God said Yang Podi still lacked the decisiveness required of a Divine Realm enforcer.

• Yang Podi proposed building a hidden academy to research and manufacture Soul Tools, and explained how Soul Tools could improve combat strength and the academy's finances.
