Nan Fusheng inspected three Chimera Soul Beasts in the Dragon Valley Minor World: a spacetime Silver Crystal still incubating, Tianqian, and a golden butterfly. He planned to seek a place that might help Tianqian grow a ninth, Destruction-attribute head, while the butterfly remained unnamed until it emerged from its cocoon.

• Fu Sheng No. 1 reported that the Silver Crystal was stable but still growing, while two other Chimera Soul Beasts seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
• Tianqian arrived with its eight heads bickering, and Nan Fusheng learned it still could not grow its ninth head.
• Nan Fusheng guessed that Demon Island might provide the Destruction Attribute needed for Tianqian's ninth head.

• Nan Fusheng observed the golden butterfly, which had settled in Dragon Valley and refused to take a name until it emerged from its cocoon.

Nan Fusheng prepared the Golden Giant Butterfly to evolve by devouring souls, while Tang Wulin and the other Shrek Seven Devils were sent to military training and became trapped in the Northern Fleet Legion. They escaped by stealing a fighter, as Kela used the incident and a weapons theft to advance his plan to seize control of the Legion.

• Nan Fusheng planned to use the souls lost when Shrek Academy was destroyed to help the Golden Giant Butterfly evolve.
• Tang Wulin and the other five Shrek Seven Devils received orders to reach military training within fifteen days or face expulsion, and they were arrested after arriving at the Northern Fleet Legion.

• Xia Zhengleng arranged for Fors to enter the Spirit Pagoda as the daughter of Xia Zhengleng and Qingfeng, and Fors agreed to help obstruct Gu Yuena.
• Xia Zhengleng proposed making trouble for Gu Yuena, especially by opposing her plans involving Artificial Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and Fors said she was interested.
• Kela and several officers watched a Major suffer a nightmare, as Kela explained that Northern Fleet Legion leaders had been plagued by dreams since Tang Wulin’s group entered Demon Island.

Kela and his officers discussed shared dreams of Tang Wulin and planned to catch a warehouse supervisor smuggling Soul Cannon Shells. When Shen Xing discovered missing shells during a late-night inspection, the supervisor attacked her, but Kela intervened and killed him and his two accomplices.

• A Major woke from a shared dream about Yuanen Yehui attempting to steal a fighter, while a Senior Colonel recalled a similar dream involving Tang Wulin and Shen Xing.
• Kela said the Old Demons of Demon Island were likely causing the shared dreams and ordered his officers to watch the warehouse supervisor and prepare to seize control of the Northern Fleet Legion.

• Kela arrived, resisted the supervisor's Paralysis Ray, and killed the supervisor and both Captains with steel pellets.

• Kela killed the Warehouse Supervisor and two Captains, rescued Shen Xing, and raised the alarm after uncovering their treason.
• Kela told the Lieutenant Colonel that the warehouse officers had tried to resist arrest, and Shen Xing was confirmed as a witness who had been paralyzed by a ray.

• Kela ordered Shen Yue to remain in her room pending the Federation's verdict, then had soldiers escort her away.

• Nan Fusheng reviewed the devastating Holy Spirit Cult attack on Heaven Dou City and learned that the Federation had ordered stronger security across its cities.
• Nan Fusheng used intelligence from Elizabeth to anticipate an assault on Shrek Academy and decided to advance to Sequence Two before the operation.
• A disguised Soul Tool Bus carrying Evil Soul Masters entered Shrek City through a special checkpoint passage, and the checkpoint staff member who helped it later left the area alone.
• Nan Fusheng drank the Sequence Two potion without a ritual and became an Earthly Angel, then asked Elizabeth when the Cult would act.

• Elizabeth revealed that Dark Blood Demon and Dark Hummingbird would attempt to assassinate God Craftsman Zhen Hua in Heaven Dou City, then flirted with Nan Fusheng before leaving.

• Elizabeth entered the hotel basement and observed the Holy Spirit Cult’s Evil Soul Masters sacrificing themselves to activate the God-Slaying Soul Tool Cannons.
• Elizabeth reflected that the Holy Spirit Cult had used secret techniques, drugs, and brainwashing to control its sacrifices, and suspected people in the Federation and Spirit Pagoda had supplied information about children with evil Martial Souls.
• Yun Ming told Ya Li that he sensed a powerful, directionless danger and ordered her to warn the Federation and alert Shrek graduates.

• Shrek’s experts destroyed incoming Fixed Soul Guidance Shells in the sky while the city’s defensive barriers shielded residents from the shockwaves.
• Hidden explosives detonated across the outer city, and Yun Ming ordered the Tang Sect to rescue the wounded while Long Yeyue flew to confront the attackers.

• Yun Ming sent Tang Wulin and the other five into Sea God Pavilion and told them to remain there as the Academy’s future seeds.

• Ghost Emperor revealed that Level 12 shells had struck Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, and their blasts began swallowing Shrek City.
• Yun Ming used the Golden Tree’s energy to protect Ya Li and the others, then unleashed his incomplete God Seat to draw the shells’ destructive power into the sky.
• Yun Ming bade Ya Li farewell and prepared to leave her the Reach for the Sky Spear, but Nan Fusheng used Parasitism on him without being detected.
• Yun Ming charged Ghost Emperor’s skull in a final burst of divine light, killing the eight accompanying Titled Douluo and gravely wounding Ghost Emperor.
• Nan Fusheng said Yun Ming could live on as his Doppelganger.

• Zhao Guang charged toward the ruined inner city, but Dark Bell Na Nali ambushed him and defeated him, leaving his soul as a Vengeful Soul.
• Dark Phoenix killed the Tang Sect’s Hall Master of Min and rushed toward the inner city after sensing Yun Ming’s energy.

• Nan Fusheng used Steal Fate, Fool Fate, causing Yun Ming’s light sphere to surge upward and reveal a figure that asked Ghost Emperor, “You were watching me, weren’t you!”

Nan Fusheng used his powers to restore Yun Ming in a new body, and Yun Ming fought Ghost Emperor with strength borrowed from his past. Nan Fusheng then went to Shrek Inner City to gather the dead city's vengeful souls, while Ghost Emperor's reinforcements arrived and Leng Yulai fixated on Yun Ming.

• Ghost Emperor attacked Yun Ming with nine Wraith skulls, but Yun Ming erased them and Nan Fusheng began rebuilding Yun Ming's body with his blood and the Time Worm.

Yun Ming escaped the Holy Spirit Cult after faking an attack, while Ghost Emperor turned to harvesting the souls of Shrek City's dead. Nan Fusheng revealed himself beside the Golden Giant Butterfly's soul-filled cocoon, and Ghost Emperor and Dark Bell attacked him as it neared completion.

• Yun Ming bluffed Ghost Emperor and the others with Reach for the Sky, then used the feint to flee toward Shrek Outer City; Leng Yulai chased after him.
• Ghost Emperor and Dark Bell searched for Yun Ming but failed to find him, and Ghost Emperor concluded that Yun Ming's power had been severely diminished.

• Nan Fusheng revealed the Golden Giant Butterfly's cocoon, which had consumed at least five million souls, and told Ghost Emperor to leave.
• Ghost Emperor attacked Nan Fusheng with Death Fire and skulls, while Dark Bell added her sound-wave attack.

Nan Fusheng defeated Ghost Emperor and Dark Bell, then pretended to accept Ghost Emperor’s offer of cooperation while giving the name Li Xiao Chou. The Golden Giant Butterfly emerged from its cocoon after consuming nearly eight million souls, and a Thunder Tribulation gathered as it began its breakthrough.

• Nan Fusheng used Tianqian’s power to summon a Demon Bug Swarm that devoured Ghost Emperor’s flames and skull, then shattered the skull and captured him.

• Thunderclouds gathered as the Golden Giant Butterfly’s breakthrough triggered the Douluo Plane’s Thunder Tribulation.

• Nan Fusheng warned Ghost Emperor that he had other potential partners and entered the Dragon Valley Minor World with the Golden Giant Butterfly.

• Nan Fusheng tested Inorganic Rebirth and Idle Transfiguration, transforming living earth into an intelligent, nearly one-hundred-meter-tall Cyclops.

• Ye Xinglan’s planted Plague Virus began to take root as Tang Wulin faced the shell and Gu Yue’s scale released energy.
• A figure Tang Wulin recognized as Na’er appeared and shielded him with enormous silver wings as the explosion erupted.

Nan Fusheng learned that Gu Yuena had shielded Tang Wulin from a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell and that Na'er’s consciousness was beginning to erode Gu Yue’s. Meanwhile, the surviving Shrek Seven Devils escaped the ruins of Shrek Academy, and Ye Xinglan led an attack on Evil Soul Masters as they tried to leave Shrek City.

• Nan Fusheng sensed Na’er’s growing power, traced her to the Star Dou Great Forest, and decided to go investigate Gu Yuena’s condition.
• After the cannon blast, Ye Xinglan rallied the survivors, and the Shrek Six Devils pulled themselves from the crater and mourned Tang Wulin and the Pavilion Master.
