Your Pi does not have any assigned IP's, thus no clients can connect to Pi-Hole. From your debug log:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Networking

Thank you for your reply! I did realize this issue. However, I use my pihole device over wifi. it is showing me that the device is trying to detect the Internet connection through ethernet cuz the label eth0. I am wondering does this matter? Or do I need to change something to make it work over wifi?

Run pihole -r and select reconfigure, and set up Pi-Hole for the wireless interface and IP.

For every device the internal configuration may vary. So check with the device settings and make sure all are going good.
