Chapter Summaries

Shen Yichen secured Jing Hongchen’s cooperation and prepared to travel to the Sun Moon Empire after the Soul Fighting Tournament. In his diary, he began outlining ways for Huo Yun’er to help Huo Yuhao, starting with an inferior strategy built around resisting Tang San’s control through Wang Dong’er.

• Shen Yichen introduced himself and his companions to Jing Hongchen, then discussed an exchange-student arrangement between Shrek and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
• Jing Hongchen agreed to help Shen Yichen while maintaining his position as a fence-sitter until Shen Yichen gained enough strength and influence to challenge the Sun Moon Empire.
• Shen Yichen decided to write about how Huo Yun’er could help Huo Yuhao turn his life around if she had survived and hidden in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Shen Yichen warned that Huo Yun’er and Huo Yuhao had to keep her survival secret from Tang San, who might kill them both if he found out.
• Shen Yichen explained that Tang San wanted Huo Yuhao as an obedient tool to restore the Tang Sect and aid his conflict with the Destruction God King.
• Shen Yichen proposed that Huo Yuhao avoid being bound by Wang Dong’er’s love, then use her feelings to bind her in return and keep Tang San in check.

Huo Yun'er weighed three strategies for keeping Huo Yuhao safe from Tang San’s schemes, while Shen Yichen laid out plans ranging from exploiting Wang Dong'er’s feelings to seeking Shen Yichen’s protection. The discussion ended with Soul Engineer suggesting Huo Yuhao keep Tang San occupied so Shen Yichen could grow stronger, though Little Noble offered no assurance Shrek would reward them.

• Huo Yun'er rejected the idea of teaching Huo Yuhao to exploit love, despite its low risks, and decided to hear the other strategies before choosing.
• Shen Yichen described a middle strategy in which Huo Yuhao cut ties with Wang Dong'er, went to the Sun Moon Empire, and challenged Tang San with the Plane Consciousness’s backing.
• Huo Yun'er considered the middle strategy too dangerous and favored the safer approach of seeking Shen Yichen’s help.
• Shen Yichen presented the best strategy: Huo Yuhao should find Shen Yichen, submit to him, and earn his approval, though meeting him would be difficult.
• Du Busi and Soul Engineer judged the best strategy workable, while Little Noble warned that Huo Yuhao would need to submit sincerely rather than seek an easy advantage.
• Soul Engineer proposed that Huo Yuhao keep Tang San occupied and Wang Dong'er close to him to give Shen Yichen time to grow, but Little Noble said he did not know whether Shrek would reward them.

The Diary System upgraded and gave Shen Yichen the power to propose two permanent rules, which he used to protect himself and restrict the sharing of Diary information. Confident he had gained the upper hand against Tang San, he planned to spend several years in the Sun Moon Empire before returning to Shrek.

• Du Busi realized Shen Yichen and Soul Engineer were working together and considered switching to Shen Yichen's side.

• Shen Yichen established rules that nullified Copy Holders' offensive actions against him and limited sharing Diary information to Holders and the Recorder.
• Shen Yichen planned to spend four or five years in the Sun Moon Empire before returning to Shrek, believing he had the upper hand.

Huo Yun'er discovered that the Diary System’s update prevented her from revealing the Diary to Huo Yuhao, so she warned him indirectly and decided he should seek refuge with Shen Yichen. Meanwhile, new holders questioned whether the Diary was true, and Shen Yichen admitted that the Daily Essays read more like a novel, keeping his identity concealed.

• The Diary System updated its rules, blocking holders from discussing the Diary except privately and nullifying their offensive actions.
• Huo Yun'er found that references to the Diary were replaced with unrelated words, and Shen Yichen advised her to warn Huo Yuhao about Wang Dong'er instead.
• Huo Yun'er warned Huo Yuhao not to fall in love with Wang Dong'er or give her control, and he agreed to trust his mother.
• Huo Yun'er decided Huo Yuhao should seek refuge with Shen Yichen because the system made it difficult for her to guide him herself.
• New holders questioned the Diary’s authenticity, and Shen Yichen acknowledged that its Daily Essays sounded more like fiction than fact.

• Du Busi challenged readers who questioned the Diary’s historical prices, Tang San’s behavior, Xiao Yan’s slow cultivation, and his conversation with Dugu Bo.
• Shen Yichen decided to leave Jing Hongchen to handle the Evil Soul Masters rather than ask Du Busi to do it.
• Wang Yan considered whether the Diary’s claims about Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Shen Yichen, and Yu Xiaogang were true, and concluded the Sea God Pavilion might side with Shen Yichen.
• Wang Yan accepted that the Diary’s contents could not be revealed and resolved to examine every word for falsehoods.

Wang Dong'er questioned her identity and left Huo Yuhao, while Xu Jiawei decided to back Shen Yichen and the comment group’s rewards revealed that Wang Dong'er’s soul had been restored. Tang San’s Divine Sense suspected the Plane Consciousness had changed the laws governing souls, leaving the mystery of Wang Dong'er unresolved.
