Bai Jue apologized to Shanggu for the Nine-Clawed Lotus incident. He was willing to lend the Realm of Dark Abyss to help Shanggu cultivate and undergo tribulation, and he also refined a pill that could help Shanggu break through her cold meridians. Seeing Bai Jue's attentiveness, Tianqi couldn't help but become anxious. He wanted Shanggu to refuse Bai Jue, but Shanggu was full of joy at Bai Jue's efforts for her.
She brought up her bet with Xue Ying, wanting to know if Bai Jue would cancel the idea of letting her go to the Nether World alone if she won the bet. But upon seeing Bai Jue's tightly pursed lips, Shanggu still smiled self-mockingly, realizing she had ultimately just made things awkward for herself. Wu Huan accompanied Gujun in the hall to cultivate. She greatly admired Gujun. Mu Guang came to find the two of them.
He was fond of Wu Huan, so he specially gave Wu Huan hot spring mud from the Golden Dragon clan. Although Wu Huan accepted the hot spring mud, her gaze remained on Gujun. On the other side, Tianqi set off fireworks to make Shanggu happy. He boldly expressed his feelings to Shanggu, but Shanggu refused Tianqi. She had always only seen Tianqi as her older brother.
Tianqi felt disappointed inside, but still forced a smile, willing to always be Shanggu's elder brother and quietly protect her. Bai Jue knew that Xue Ying was inseparable from the Nine-Clawed Lotus incident. He told Xue Ying to request to leave the God Realm after the competition. Xue Ying was unwilling; clearly, he had deep affection for Bai Jue, yet Bai Jue was so cold towards him. Stepping out of the hall, Tianqi stopped Bai Jue.
He prepared to have a good drink with Bai Jue. Seeing Tianqi in such a drunken state, Bai Jue couldn't help but sober him up with a move. Tianqi hit upon the fact that Bai Jue liked Shanggu, but looking at Bai Jue acting upright and not troubled by personal romantic feelings, he only felt that Bai Jue was pathetic and selfish. Bai Jue and Shanggu agreed to send Gujun into the Realm of Dark Abyss at midnight.
Everyone was waiting for Bai Jue. Wu Huan gave Gujun a sachet she made herself, wishing Gujun success in undergoing his tribulation. Bai Jue was delayed by Tianqi. Seeing that Bai Jue had not arrived for a long time, Shanggu came to Changyuan Hall to look for Bai Jue. Bai Jue gave Shanggu the key to the Realm of Dark Abyss.
He promised Shanggu that if Gujun could win the competition, Shanggu would not have to go to the Nether World. Shanggu showed a look of joy on her face. Shanggu opened the Realm of Dark Abyss. Gujun cultivated in the secret realm until it was time to undergo tribulation. Undergoing Lightning Tribulation was not an easy matter. Shanggu assisted Gujun from the side, but Gujun could not withstand the ferocity of the lightning tribulation.
Shanggu had no choice but to step forward and block the lightning tribulation for Gujun. Although Shanggu had opened her Divine Meridians and her spiritual power was not low, blocking several lightning tribulations for Gujun was still very difficult and injured her origin. Only now did Shanggu understand how much Bai Jue had done for her when she underwent her lightning tribulation.
After enduring the lightning tribulation, Gujun was enveloped by a divine light, and he officially ascended to become a God Lord. Yuemi's brow was tightly furrowed; after Shanggu asked, she learned that God Lords in the lower realm were constantly perishing. There was a reason why Bai Jue wanted her to go to the Nether World to cultivate the power of chaos. Now, the power of chaos was dissipating everywhere, and spiritual meridians were scarce.
The only hope for the three realms rested upon Shanggu. Only if Shanggu took charge of the instruction feather of Chief God as soon as possible could this situation be resolved. Time flew by, and the day of the competition arrived. Gujun and Xue Ying competed in the hall. Xue Ying was accustomed to using magic tricks, but Gujun's ability was cultivated bit by bit by himself. Now Xue Ying was no longer his match.
He easily won against Xue Ying in front of everyone. Although Xue Ying lost, Shanggu was unwilling to hold it against him, but Hong Ri publicly exposed Xue Ying, Zhong Li, Xia Hui, and others for colluding in the Nine-Clawed Lotus incident that injured someone.
Bai Jue issued a punishment, banishing Xue Ying from the God Realm, exiling him to the Nether World to guard the barrier; Zhong Li and Xia Hui were also expelled from the God Realm and forbidden to return. After Xue Ying was banished, Shanggu also publicly announced her decision. She knew she was not worthy of the position of Chief God of Chaos, so she decided to go to the Nether World to cultivate that very day.
She would not return to the God Realm until she had cultivated the power of chaos. Shanggu went to the Nether World alone to undergo trials. She knew the reason Bai Jue wanted her to enter the Nether World, so she went directly to see Xuan Yi, asking Xuan Yi to help her set up a barrier around her that even a God could not break through.
She was afraid that one day she would not be able to persevere, yearn for the comfort of the God Realm, and leave the Nether World. Xuan Yi agreed to Shanggu. It was just that once the barrier was set, Shanggu could not leave the Nether World unless she had cultivated the power of chaos. Nor would he allow the Demon race to be lenient towards Shanggu.
At the same time, he also wanted Shanggu to visit the Deity Binding Platform often to chat with him and relieve his boredom. Shanggu originally did not expect anyone to shelter her in the Nether World, and Xuan Yi's conditions were not excessive, so she agreed to Xuan Yi without hesitation. Tianqi wanted to force his way into the Nether World to bring Shanggu out. Bai Jue and Zhiyang stopped Tianqi, hoping Tianqi could respect Shanggu's choice.
In Changyuan Hall, Bai Jue performed the technique of Soul Separation. He disregarded that this technique would reduce his lifespan and that he could perish utterly if he wasn't careful, only wishing to ensure Shanggu's safety and well-being.
