Chapter Summaries

The Original Timeline replay showed Xuan Zi sending Huo Yuhao and the others on the Death God Envoys mission, which had ended in deaths and injuries. Xuan Zi panicked as the Plane Crack watched, while the victims’ fathers discovered the truth through the Chat Room.

• Yao Haolong and Gongyang Liu posted in the Chat Room that the mission had killed Yao Haoxuan and crippled Gongyang Mo, and they sought to learn what had happened.

The screen revealed how Huo Yuhao's team approached a mission against Evil Soul Masters, while the families of deceased Shrek students suspected the academy had concealed the truth about their children's deaths. When an enemy's attack devastated the team, Xuan Zi was nowhere to be seen.

• Yao Haoxuan's and Gongyang Mo's parents realized their children had been on the same team and agreed to watch the screen for answers.

• An Evil Soul Master unleashed a powerful attack in the cave, killing Yao Haoxuan and severely injuring Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng, while Xuan Zi failed to appear.

After Yao Haoxuan's death was revealed, his father and other parents blamed Xuan Zi and Shrek Academy, while the emperors of the Douluo Three Kingdoms calmed the growing unrest. Mu En pressed Xuan Zi for an explanation, but Xuan Zi stayed silent, and a new quiz began asking what he had been doing during the Death God Envoys incident.

• The quiz system asked what Xuan Zi had been doing and barred him from answering while temporarily imprisoning him in a special space.

The Soul Masters welcomed the return of the Quiz with Prizes and chose answers to a question about Xuan Zi. As the deadline approached, most backed Shrek’s option A or Kong Deming’s option B, while Tang Ya, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and the God of Destruction chose C.

The answer revealed that Xuan Zi abandoned his post to roast chickens and drink while Ma Xiaotao and the others fought inside the cave, arriving only after the Shrek Battle Team had suffered heavy losses.

As the original timeline’s enemies grew stronger, Tang San anxiously hoped for another Quiz with Prizes while the screen returned to Parallel Huo Yuhao.

• Tang San watched the screen go dark and desperately wished for another Quiz with Prizes.

• A ragged little boy begged Huo Yuhao and the team to rescue his mother from the Death God Envoys.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to help because the boy’s plight reminded him of his own childhood, and Jing Hongchen allowed the team to follow him.
• The boy led Huo Yuhao and the others to a cave, prompting Soul Masters in the Plane Crack to wonder whether the Original Timeline’s tragedy would repeat.

Jing Hongchen dismissed fears that the Parallel World team would suffer the same tragedy as the Original Timeline and gave Huo Yuhao command of the mission to rescue the hostages. Huo Yuhao organized the team and led them into the cave, while the Soul Masters watching reflected on how the Original Timeline team had ignored his advice.

• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to learn that five or six ordinary soul masters guarded the cave and warned the team against charging in while dozens of robbers and an unknown Evil Soul Master remained inside.
• Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong, and Meng Hongchen accepted Huo Yuhao's leadership and agreed to follow his plan.
• In the Plane Crack, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming praised Huo Yuhao's caution, while Xuan Zi insisted that the Death God Envoy's Corpse Explosion would still defeat him.
• Huo Yuhao said he and Ma Rulong would sneak up on the guards and eliminate them before entering the cave to rescue the child's mother.
• Huo Yuhao and Ma Rulong slipped close to the guards, and Huo Yuhao unleashed his Spiritual Power, leaving the robbers dizzy and collapsed.

Huo Yuhao silently eliminated the robbers in the cave while explaining to the Sun Moon Team why he could not safely attack from a distance. After clearing their area, he found and freed the little boy’s mother, leaving the group to continue their rescue.

• Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eye Martial Soul to incapacitate the robbers, then killed them while Ma Rulong and the others watched in shock.
• Huo Yuhao told the Sun Moon Team that long-range Spiritual Power attacks required too much stamina and said he had killed someone when he was six.
• Huo Yuhao led the team into the cave, using Spiritual Detection Sharing to avoid patrols and quietly eliminate the robbers.
• Huo Yuhao wiped out the robbers in their area and found the little boy’s mother bound to a bed.
• Huo Yuhao untied the little boy’s mother.

After rescuing a mother and son from bandits, Huo Yuhao noticed the cave held an unusually large number of corpses and suspected the Evil Soul Master had arranged them as traps. He and the others prepared to investigate further, aware that the corpses might be used for Corpse Explosion, Blood Explosion, or corpse control.

• Huo Yuhao rescued a mother and her son from the robbers and urged them to flee the cave.
• In the Plane Crack, Ling Luochen recalled that Ma Xiaotao had accidentally burned the mother to death in the Original Timeline, while Xuan Zi hoped Huo Yuhao’s group would fall into a deadly trap.
• Ma Rulong and the others asked Huo Yuhao whether they should continue into the cave to find the Evil Soul Master, and he chose to proceed.
• Huo Yuhao stopped after noticing that many corpses had already been scattered throughout the cave, beyond those he had killed.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the Evil Soul Master might use the corpses for Corpse Explosion, Blood Explosion, or to create and control zombies.

Huo Yuhao recognized that the Death God Envoys could use corpses for powerful explosions, so he had the team destroy the bodies with Corpse Dissolving Powder. As the Death God Envoys noticed something was wrong, the observers in the Plane Crack remarked that Huo Yuhao’s foresight had put them at a major advantage.

• The Death God Envoy discovered Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon Team dissolving the corpses and tried to attack them with Corpse Explosion, but found no corpses to use for his soul skills.

• The watchers hoped to see Parallel World Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe discover Huo Yuhao’s connection to the Sun Moon Royal Academy, but the footage returned to the Original Timeline.

The Plane Crack’s Soul Masters watched the Original Timeline Soul Master Competition, where Shrek Academy killed Sun Moon Team students and won the finals, angering the Sun Moon Empire observers. As the footage dimmed, a new quiz asked how Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others would treat Parallel World Huo Yuhao when they met him at the competition venue.

• The Soul Masters accepted that they had to watch the Original Timeline footage and discussed Shrek Academy’s weak competition field.

The soul masters in the Plane Crack prepared to answer a new Quiz with Prizes question, hoping to gain strength, while Tang San worried that his enemies were catching up.

• Huo Yuhao predicted that Wang Dong'er had chosen incorrectly, and she replied that they would have to wait and see.

Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, the God of Destruction, and Tang San compared their answers about Shrek’s reaction to Huo Yuhao, while Huo Yuhao’s team reached Star Luo Imperial City and registered for the Soul Master Competition. As they prepared to leave the registration site, Xiao Xiao recognized Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er.

• Meng Hongchen warned Jing Hongchen that Xuan Zi had come looking for trouble, and Jing Hongchen promised to protect the students.
