Chapter Summaries

Ye Xinglan and her companions fought the Evil Soul Masters harvesting souls in Shrek City, killing several enemies before three Soul Saints overwhelmed them. After Xie Xie killed one Soul Saint and Yuanen Yehui defeated another, Ye Xinglan’s group was left exhausted and cornered by the Bone Dragon Soul Saint.

• Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu used their Spirit Emperor abilities to kill their Evil Soul Emperor opponents, while Xie Xie and Shafulin eliminated two Evil Soul Kings.
• Ye Xinglan recognized that three remaining enemies were Soul Saints in Two-word Battle Armor and struggled against a Three-Eyed Corpse Dance Crow Soul Saint as Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui fought their own opponents.
• Shafulin took control of Xie Xie and used Dual Dragon Transformation to kill the Three-Eyed Corpse Dance Crow Soul Saint, but Xie Xie collapsed from exhaustion.
• Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu fought the Bone Dragon Soul Saint while Xu Lizhi supported them, and Yuanen Yehui killed the Bloodthirsty Ghost Vine Soul Saint before passing out.
• The Bone Dragon Soul Saint attacked Xu Lizhi and the unconscious Yuanen Yehui, while Ye Xinglan’s Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun wore off and left the surviving group with no strength to fight.

Ye Xinglan absorbed blood and Soul Power to defeat the Bone Dragon, then lost control and stabbed Xu Lizhi before fleeing. Elsewhere, the Speaker ordered an investigation into Shrek City’s destruction, Leng Yaozhu accused Qiangu Dongfeng of helping the Holy Spirit Cult, and two figures entered Star Dou Fortress.

• Ye Xinglan’s Stargod Sword absorbed the Bone Dragon’s Soul Power, and she used the dead Evil Soul Masters’ blood to kill him with Demon Barrier Swarm.
• Ye Xinglan stabbed Xu Lizhi and fled, while Yue Zhengyu treated Xu Lizhi’s wound and watched her disappear.
• The Speaker learned that two Godslayer shells had destroyed Shrek City and ordered an investigation into the missing Godslayers.
• Leng Yaozhu accused Qiangu Dongfeng of secretly supporting the attack on Shrek, but he denied involvement and urged her to help deal with the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Two figures walked into Star Dou Fortress.

Fors and Qiangu Qingfeng entered the Star Dou Great Forest to find Gu Yuena, where they rescued her and Tang Wulin from two powerful Soul Beasts. Gu Yuena recognized Fors and tentatively called her “Mom?”

• Qiangu Qingfeng and Fors passed the fortress’s identity checks and entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang Wulin found the amnesiac Gu Yuena and tried to earn her trust after she woke and slapped him.
• Fors sensed Gu Yuena’s location, and Qiangu Qingfeng flew with her across the forest to reach her.
• A ten-thousand-year Crimson Fire Monkey King and Jade Demon Bird attacked Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, but Qiangu Qingfeng stopped them at Fors’s request.
• Tang Wulin recognized Fors and thanked her, while Gu Yuena looked at Fors and asked, “Mom?”

Fors met Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena in the Star Dou Great Forest after Shrek Academy and Tang Sect Headquarters were destroyed, then agreed to spare a dangerous Jade Demon Bird if Gu Yuena could make it stop attacking them. Gu Yuena subdued the bird and fell asleep on Fors’s lap, while Fors reflected that their future relationship might turn hostile.

• Gu Yuena called Fors “Mom,” and Fors assured Tang Wulin she had no intention of fighting them.
• Tang Wulin told Fors that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect Headquarters had been attacked and that Elder Yun had died protecting him.
• Fors decided to take Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena with her, while Qiangu Qingfeng restrained a Crimson Fire Monkey King and a Jade Demon Bird.
• Fors ordered Qiangu Qingfeng to kill the beasts, but Gu Yuena shielded the Jade Demon Bird and begged Fors to let it live as a pet.
• Gu Yuena used a silver rune to subdue the Jade Demon Bird, which she named Xiao Cui, and Fors spared it on the condition that it would not attack them.
• Tang Wulin handed Xiao Cui to Fors and meditated, while Gu Yuena fell asleep on Fors’s lap and called her Mom again.

Tang Wulin learned that Gu Yuena was Na'er’s older sister, heard Fors hint that the Spirit Pagoda had helped cause Shrek Academy’s destruction, and asked Fors to conceal that he was alive. After Gu Yuena claimed the Jade Demon Bird as Xiao Cui, the group was confronted by the Hell Magic Dragon King, whom Fors excitedly identified as her next potential pet.

• Tang Wulin asked Fors about Gu Yuena’s identity, and Fors said she was Na’er’s older sister but did not know her connection to Gu Yue.
• Fors told Tang Wulin that various factions had condoned or advanced Shrek Academy’s destruction, and he asked her to hide his survival.
• Qiangu Qingfeng introduced himself as Fors’s teacher, Purgatory Douluo, while Tang Wulin recognized his Qiangu surname as potentially significant.
• Gu Yuena woke, defended the Jade Demon Bird, named it Xiao Cui, and watched it settle tamely on her shoulder after Qiangu Qingfeng released it.
• Fors gave Tang Wulin a mask as a terrifying darkness engulfed the forest, and a purple-black-scaled figure emerged from a space passage.
• Fors recognized the newcomer as the Hell Magic Dragon King and called it her pet number two.

Fors used her Spiritual Domain to incapacitate Zi Ji, allowing Qiangu Qingfeng to capture her and bring the group into Star Dou Fortress. Di Tian discovered Zi Ji was missing but assumed her departure was part of Gu Yuena’s plan, while Qiangu Qingfeng forced the fortress guards to let the others pass.

• Zi Ji confronted Fors, Tang Wulin, and their companions in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Fors trapped her in Unlimited Void.
• Qiangu Qingfeng implanted a device in Zi Ji’s forehead, knocked her unconscious, and carried her away with the group.
• Di Tian arrived with Bi Ji and another Ferocious Beast, found traces of Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin, and decided Zi Ji’s disappearance might be part of Gu Yuena’s plan.
• Qiangu Qingfeng brought the group and Zi Ji into Star Dou Fortress, where the strict identity checks made Tang Wulin uneasy.
• Qiangu Qingfeng ordered the fortress supervisor to admit the others without identification and opened the Metal Gate by invoking his authority.

Qiangu Qingfeng brought Fors, Gu Yuena, and Tang Wulin through Star Dou Fortress after capturing Zi Ji, whom Fors planned to keep as a pet. At Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Nan Fusheng reunited with the transformed Nahida, Baozu Worm, and Aponia while news reports revealed the devastation across the continent.

• Sister Star let Qiangu Qingfeng's group pass through Star Dou Fortress after the instruments showed nothing abnormal.
• Sister Star overheard Qiangu Qingfeng offer Fors a nearly three-hundred-thousand-year Hell Magic Dragon as a gift, and Fors accepted it as a pet or future Soul Ring.
• Fors told Tang Wulin she would not hand Gu Yuena over to him, and Tang Wulin thanked her for helping him for Fusheng's sake.
• Fors said she would keep the bound Zi Ji as a pet, and Gu Yuena asked her not to kill Zi Ji.
• Nan Fusheng and Xia Zhengleng waited at Qiangu Qingfeng's residence, where Xia Zhengleng doted on Nahida and Aponia briefly controlled them with her mental abilities.
• Television reports described the destruction of Shrek City, the Federation Council's dissolution, the Tang Sect's losses, and attacks by the Holy Spirit Cult and Ocasers.

Nan Fusheng and Fors brought the amnesiac Gu Yuena to Ya Li, who identified a possible treatment and learned that Yun Ming might still be alive. Tang Wulin’s group prepared to seek treatment for Zhen Hua, while the Blacksmith Association learned that he had survived but remained seriously injured.

• Nan Fusheng explained Gu Yuena’s memory loss to Tang Wulin and the others, and Ya Li found that a ten-thousand-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum might restore her memories.
• Nan Fusheng told Ya Li that a masked Super Douluo had invited him and Fors to an auction and claimed Yun Ming might not be dead; he gave Ya Li the invitation.
• Tang Wulin said his group would work toward upgrading their Battle Armor and planned to bring Ya Li to treat the injured Zhen Hua, while Nan Fusheng and Fors stayed behind.
• At the Blacksmith Association headquarters, Mu Chen told Ao Hongchen that Zhen Hua was alive but seriously injured and needed a Healing Spirit Master.

Lu Fa went to Zhen Hua’s private Ascension Platform to attempt Heaven Forging, hoping to stabilize the Blacksmith Association while Zhen Hua remained injured and missing. He placed two living metal Doppelgangers on the Heaven-Forged table and began the process.

• Mu Chen told Ao Hongchen that Zhen Hua had contacted a Healing Spirit Master and explained that the Association remained unsettled after the attack.
• Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen discussed the political opposition to restoring Shrek Academy and the danger of Zhen Hua’s injuries keeping him from Heaven Forging.
• Lu Fa finished cultivating and told Ao Hongchen and Mu Chen he wanted to forge, then asked Zui Hongchen to wait behind.
• Lu Fa entered Zhen Hua’s private rooftop Ascension Platform, where he planned to attempt Heaven Forging with Soul Power support from his Original Body.
• Lu Fa placed two arguing metal Doppelgangers on the Forging Table, which swallowed them as the Heaven Forging process began.

Lu Fa used Tianqian’s power to forge Metal C into eight-element Heaven-Forged Metal, overcoming its Elemental Tribulation. The spectacular forging made Heaven Dou City’s major powers believe Zhen Hua had returned, while Ao Hongchen and Mu Chen waited for access to the rooftop.

• Lu Fa fused and Soul-Forged the two metals into Metal C with three hammer strikes.
• Lu Fa infused Metal C with eight elements and began Heaven Forging, imprinting elemental laws into it.
• An eight-colored Elemental Tribulation appeared, and Lu Fa and Metal C faced its lightning together.
• The Heaven Forging’s radiance drew the attention of Heaven Dou City’s major powers, who mistook it for Zhen Hua’s work.
• Ao Hongchen and Mu Chen wondered whether Zhen Hua had returned and went to the elevator, but they could not reach the rooftop without a God Craftsman’s permission.

Lu Fa successfully Heaven Forged Metal C with the help of Tianqian’s power, and discovered that his Behemoth Bloodline could devour Thunder Tribulation. The metal chose to become an obnoxious Big White Goose, and Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen realized Lu Fa had achieved Heaven Forging, leaving Mu Chen to wonder if Lu Fa had already become a God Craftsman.

• Lu Fa completed Heaven Forging with Tianqian’s help and found that his Behemoth Bloodline could absorb Thunder Tribulation.
• Metal C shaped itself into a Big White Goose after rejecting a series of other forms.
• Big White Goose attacked Lu Fa, then flew with him to meet Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen.
• Big White Goose ambushed Mu Chen at the elevator, plucked a patch of his hair, and was called off by Lu Fa.
• Ao Hongchen recognized that Lu Fa had succeeded at Heaven Forging, and Mu Chen examined Big White Goose and asked whether Lu Fa had become a God Craftsman.

Lu Fa revealed that he had become a God Craftsman by forging the sentient Heaven-Forged Metal Big White Goose, and he chose to announce his achievement publicly despite the risks. At the Blacksmith Association headquarters, Big White triggered a startling reaction from the Battle Armor worn by those gathered, as a mysterious milky-white figure appeared within a pillar of light.

• Lu Fa confirmed to Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen that Big White was Heaven-Forged Metal, and they recognized him as a God Craftsman.
• Lu Fa decided to reveal his achievement to stabilize the Blacksmith Association, and Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen agreed to support and protect him.
• Mu Chen invited Mu Xi and Zui Hongchen to witness the announcement, and Zui Hongchen curiously asked Lu Fa about Big White.
• Big White rushed onto the platform and caused chaos in the hall, evading the staff and pecking a Spirit Emperor whose Two-word Battle Armor it forced to retract.
• Big White released Eight-colored light that made more than a hundred Battle Armors glow, and a milky-white figure appeared inside a thick pillar of light.

At the Blacksmith Association, Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen revealed that Lu Fa had become a God Craftsman and forged the Heaven-Forged Big White Goose. The powerful figures in the hall accepted the announcement, and Ao Hongchen secured promises that Lu Fa would not be pressured to perform Heaven Forging before reaching the Titled Douluo Realm.

• Guan Yue arrived in Four-word Battle Armor and identified the Big White Goose as a Heaven-Forged metal creation.
• Mu Chen, Ao Hongchen, and Lu Fa entered the hall, and Mu Chen addressed the crowd about Zhen Hua’s disappearance and the Association’s response.
• Ao Hongchen and Mu Chen announced that Lu Fa had advanced to God Craftsman and that the Big White Goose was his Heaven-Forged creation.
• The Big White Goose’s radiance made Battle Armors across the hall tremble, convincing the crowd that Lu Fa had truly achieved Heaven Forging.
• Ao Hongchen warned that Lu Fa would not perform Heaven Forging again before reaching the Titled Douluo Realm, and the assembled factions pledged to protect him from such demands.

Lu Fa earned the Spirit Pagoda and other major powers’ favor after revealing his Heaven Forging skill, while Ao Hongchen warned him to grow stronger before traveling. Two days later, Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye reached an Endless Fire Domain branch to attend a secret auction and asked for three coded dishes.

• The Heaven Dou City Spirit Pagoda Tower Master offered Lu Fa a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, prompting other powers to offer gifts and seek his friendship.
• Guan Yue invited Lu Fa to join the Military Department, then left as Lu Fa promised to consider the offer.
• Ao Hongchen warned Lu Fa that his newfound fame would draw Evil Soul Masters’ attention, and Mu Chen was attacked by Big White after examining the goose.
• Big White stopped tormenting Mu Xi when Zui Hongchen called, then rubbed its head against her legs.
• Tang Wulin brought Ya Li and Mu Ye to the Endless Fire Domain branch, where Max confirmed that Yao Lao was there.
• Tang Wulin gave Max the invitation and ordered Boiling Goat lamb chops, Nine-Turn Large Intestine with its original flavor intact, and coffee as coded phrases.

Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye paid three hundred million Federal Coin to obtain an invitation to an Underground Auction while seeking news of the Reach for the sky Douluo. At the auction’s hidden venue, they joined the masked attendees and found their assigned seats.

• Tang Wulin gave the required code phrases at the Endless Fire Domain Barbecue Shop, and Max charged Ya Li three hundred million Federal Coin for an invitation and three Masks and Cloaks.
• At a Body Sect stronghold, Tang Wulin, Ya Li, Mu Ye, Zhen Hua, and the Shrek Seven Devils discussed the auction, the shop’s past move away from Shrek Academy, and the puzzling code phrases.
• Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye used invitation number 3333 to enter a private room at the shop and waited until eight o’clock.
• The invitation revealed a hidden Space Gate, which Mu Ye recognized as evidence that the auction had powerful backing.
• Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye passed through the Gate, entered an ancient circular venue, and found their seat marked 3333 among masked attendees.

Tang Wulin, Mu Ye, and Ya Li attended the secretive Aurora Auction, where they discovered that its host, Mr. A, was a Quasi-God and watched rare treasures sell for enormous sums. The auction continued with valuable items linked to the deep sea, leaving Tang Wulin suspicious and angered by the apparent hunting of Sea Soul Beasts.

• Mu Ye sensed more than ten Titled Douluo, two Super Douluo, and other dangerous attendees among the auction guests.
• Mr. A demonstrated overwhelming power, and Ya Li identified him as a Quasi-God overseeing the Aurora Auction.
• The attendees bid on a fifty-six-thousand-year Blue Ring Octopus King Spirit Bone, which table 1314 bought for 5.2 billion Federal Coins.
• Mu Ye explained the value of the fifty-thousand-year Deep Sea Spirit Blood Flower, but another bidder at table 2233 won it for four billion Federal Coins after Mu Ye's bids fell short.
• Tang Wulin watched the auction present more rare treasures and Spirit Bones, noticed that many came from Sea Soul Beasts, and resented the apparent slaughter of them.

After the auction, Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye watched the guests trade rare treasures, including a sinister flower and a True Dragon Soul Bone. As the free-trading segment ended, Mr. A began the free discussion segment, where they hoped to learn news of the Reach for the sky Douluo.

• No. 2323 offered a ten-thousand-year Underworld Turtle, then traded it to No. 4343 for a thirty-five-thousand-year Human-Faced Ghost Weeping Flower.
• Mu Ye recognized the flower as a blood-cultivated treasure and suspected No. 4343 was an Evil Soul Master, but Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye held back from acting.
• Guests exchanged rare items, including a Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, while Mu Ye acquired medicinal treasures to help restore Zhen Hua's body.
• No. 1111 offered a hundred-thousand-year True Dragon Soul Bone for one with a Star attribute, but declined Mr. A's offer of a Water-attribute Soul Bone plus a seventy-thousand-year Soul Bone.
• Mr. A ended free trading and announced the free discussion segment, while Tang Wulin, Ya Li, and Mu Ye waited for news of the Reach for the sky Douluo.

At the Aurora Auction’s free exchange, Ya Li asked whether Reach for the sky Douluo Yun Ming was truly dead and arranged to buy the answer from the sinister guest No. 4343. Mr. A summoned the Plane Consciousness to verify the exchange, leaving No. 4343 bound by an oath to tell the truth.

• Mr. A explained the anonymous intelligence exchange and offered authenticity verification for one hundred million Federal Coin.
• Ya Li wrote her question about Yun Ming, while Tang Wulin spotted questions about the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhen Hua, the Tang Sect, and the Blood God Legion.
• Mr. A told Ya Li that guest No. 4343 had information, and she agreed to meet him and have the auction verify it.
• Ya Li and Mu Ye sensed that No. 4343 was a powerful Evil Soul Master, and Mr. A stopped him and Mu Ye from fighting.
• No. 4343 asked for a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Item that increased vitality in exchange for his answer about Yun Ming.
• Mr. A invoked the Plane Consciousness to witness No. 4343's oath that his information was genuine and that he would not lie.

Ya Li, Tang Wulin, and Mu Ye paid No. 4343 for detailed information about Yun Ming, and Mr. A used Thought Materialization to show them images of Shrek Academy’s destruction and Yun Ming’s rebirth. The projection showed Yun Ming fighting Ghost Emperor before Leng Yulai and another figure arrived to support the Evil Soul Master, leaving Yun Ming’s next battle about to begin.

• No. 4343 told Ya Li that Yun Ming had survived but demanded a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and three Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for further details.
• Tang Wulin offered Soul-Forged Metal, but No. 4343 rejected it and insisted on Spirit Bones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
• Ya Li and Mu Ye supplied the demanded items, and Ya Li agreed to pay Mr. A one hundred million Federal Coin to reveal Yun Ming’s condition.
• Mr. A used Thought Materialization to show Shrek City’s destruction, Evil Soul Masters harvesting souls, and Yun Ming’s rebirth after the attack.
• The projection showed the weakened Yun Ming shattering Ghost Emperor’s assault and forcing him to abandon his Battle Armor, then revealed Leng Yulai and another figure joining the fight.

Ya Li learned that Yun Ming had survived but had been captured and tortured by the Holy Spirit Cult, while Tang Wulin and Mu Ye failed to trace the Aurora Auction after it ended. The chapter revealed that Nan Fusheng had staged the auction with his Doppelgangers, and he left the borrowed outpost after the guests departed.

• No. 4343 told Ya Li, Mu Ye, and Tang Wulin that Yun Ming had survived with greatly diminished Soul Power and was being held by a Holy Spirit Cult higher-up.
• Ya Li asked No. 4343 where Yun Ming was imprisoned, but he claimed he did not know; Mr. A stopped Ya Li from attacking and accepted her payment.
• Mr. A ended the Aurora Auction and sent the guests through Gates, after which Tang Wulin and Mu Ye searched the Barbecue Shop but found no other attendees.
• Ya Li vowed to save Yun Ming, while Mu Ye warned that the Aurora Auction and the forces behind it were difficult to understand.
• Nan Fusheng revealed that Mr. A, No. 4343, and the other auction participants were his Doppelgangers, and that he had fabricated the apparent Plane Consciousness and Quasi-God presence.
• Nan Fusheng sent the Doppelgangers away and left the Spirit Pagoda outpost, which continued operating without its staff noticing anything unusual.
