Shen Yichen quickly mastered a Soul Tool Core Array, leaving Xian Lin'er troubled about his future as a Soul Engineer. Jing Hongchen learned that the Tang Sect had dwindled to three members and plotted to obtain its Mysterious Heaven Skill, then sought support in the Diary Chat Group.

Shen Yichen revealed his identity as the strongest Soul King in history and wrote a bold account of his future rebellion against Shrek and battle with Tang San. His claims alarmed Mu En and left readers wondering whether the Golden Ancient Tree was truly sinister.

• Shen Yichen prepared to write a diary entry that would make Tang San regard him as an enemy, then declared himself the Only Bug in History and revealed his Ruyi Jingu Bang martial soul.

After Shen Yichen’s story stirred the group chat, Jing Hongchen worried that the Sun Moon Empire had no chance against its rivals. He decided to send Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to study at Shrek Academy, if he could find a way to get them admitted.

• The group chat debated whether the ranking in Shen Yichen’s diary was genuine, and Jing Hongchen suspected Great Sage Equal to Heaven was hiding his identity.
• Shen Yichen reflected that his story had won support from Mu En and Zhang Lexuan, while Du Busi, Di Tian, and the Snow Empress were also inspired by his goal of destroying the Divine Realm.

• Sea God Tang San ordered Mu En to bring Huo Yuhao, whom the Body Sect had taken from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, to Shrek Academy.

• Mu En assigned Xuan Zi to bring Huo Yuhao to Shrek, and Xuan Zi accepted despite worrying about facing Du Busi.
• Mu En planned to follow Xuan Zi with Zhang Lexuan’s help in case the mission went wrong.
• At the Body Sect, Du Busi watched Huo Yuhao train and dismissed Huo Yun'er's praise while feeling increasingly uneasy.

Xuan Zi spent weeks watching the Body Sect Gate while Mu En praised his diligence, and Jing Hongchen considered how to send Xiao and Meng to Shrek Academy without provoking the Sun Moon Empire. The Tang Sect rejected an Illustrious Virtue Hall Soul Engineer, prompting the Tang Sect Master and his wife to decide that Xiaoya would leave for Shrek City while they remained together.

• Xuan Zi found the Body Sect Gate and kept watch outside it because Du Busi kept Huo Yuhao within range of his spiritual detection, while Mu En secretly followed and approved of Xuan Zi's patience.
• The Current Affairs Review ranked the Silver Dragon King as the strongest Soul Beast, but most readers left only brief comments instead of sharing their thoughts.

• Jing Hongchen considered sharing the Diary's information with Kong Shi, then rejected the idea and reminded himself not to rush into action.

Shen Yichen left his diary’s increasingly exaggerated story behind and visited the Shrek Outer Court construction site, where he planned modern Soul Guidance facilities, before Ling Luochеn took him out in Shrek City. Meanwhile, a drunken Xuan Zi clashed with Jin Peng outside the Body Sect, provoking Du Busi and the sect’s Titled Douluo to respond.

• Shen Yichen reflected on how his diary had become a wildly entertaining account of Xiao Yan defying Tang San and Shrek’s authorities.
• Shen Yichen inspected construction at the Shrek Outer Court and discussed plans for Soul Guidance facilities, while noting he still needed to develop a Soul Guidance Communicator.
• Ling Luochеn found Shen Yichen and invited him to have fun in Shrek City.

• Du Busi concluded that Shrek might oppose Tang San and warned Huo Yun'er to raise Huo Yuhao well, while revealing in the Group Chat that Tang San had sent Xuan Zi to confront him.

• The Snow Empress found a hundred-thousand-year snow lotus, decided to undergo Human Transformation early, and set off to find Bing'er.
• Mu En used the Sea God's Light to heal Xuan Zi and told him to look after Yichen, then considered how to secure the support of Shrek’s upper ranks for the boy.

Mu En stalled for time after reporting his failure to bring Huo Yuhao to Shrek, while Tang San split Tang Wutong’s soul and the Snow Empress began taking human form. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian proposed sending the Auspicious Beast to befriend Shen Yichen, and the Silver Dragon King left the decision to him but ordered him to wait for the right moment.

• The Body Sect broke into smaller groups and settled across the three empires, while Du Busi hid Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Du Busi, Di Tian, and others discussed the Sea God Tang San’s influence and asked about the Body Sect and Sun Moon Empire’s endings.

• At Sea God Lake, Ma Xiaotao fed Shen Yichen grapes as Bei Bei watched them fish together.
• Bei Bei teased Shen Yichen about Zhang Lexuan, and Shen Yichen said he intended to marry both her and Ma Xiaotao, who happily accepted being the second one.

Tang San ordered the Clear Sky Sect to seize Huo Yuhao and announce its return, while planning to send Xiao Qi to Shrek Academy. At the Star Dou Great Forest, Du Busi ended Huo Yuhao’s training and accepted him as his disciple, then prepared for the possibility that he would not survive the coming day.

• Da Ming used Gravity Domain, but Du Busi turned the fall into an attack that sent the Titan Giant Ape flying.
• Da Ming and Er Ming regrouped, yet Du Busi knocked Er Ming away again, leaving Da Ming doubting that even the two of them together could win.

Du Busi fought Da Ming and Er Ming after Tang San ordered the two beasts to use his hidden Divine Sense, while Mu En rescued Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao from the battle’s shockwaves. Mu En took them toward safety, and Tang San resolved to keep Huo Yun'er alive for now while continuing to shape Huo Yuhao’s path.

• Di Tian judged Da Ming and Er Ming weak but recognized Du Busi as an exceptional opponent, while Mu En concluded that Du Busi was likely the strongest human alive.
• Tang San ordered Da Ming and Er Ming to use the Divine Sense concealed in their Seas of Consciousness, then sent Mu En to protect Huo Yuhao after Du Busi was defeated.
• Da Ming and Er Ming unleashed their borrowed power against Du Busi, who countered with the Gold Rank Second Awakening of his Body Martial Soul.
• Huo Yun'er shielded Huo Yuhao from the battle’s shockwaves and told him to watch his master fight for his future.
• Mu En arrived just before the shockwaves struck Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, stopped them with Sovereign's Descent, and agreed to take them somewhere safe.
• Tang San decided Huo Yun'er could not be allowed to live long-term but withheld action, intending to let the Clear Sky Sect remain Huo Yuhao’s enemy.

Shen Yichen and Zhang Lexuan left Shrek Academy for the Heavenly Dragon Sect so Mu En could buy them time, while Du Busi’s attempt to sacrifice himself in the Star Dou Great Forest was stopped.
