Huo Yuhao completed the Blue Silver Life Soul Engine and realized Blue Silver Alloy could form the basis of an evolving, intelligent Mecha for Xiao Hongchen. After developing further applications for the alloy, he rested in Qiu'er's arms after a month of research.

• Huo Yuhao tested the Blue Silver Soul Transference Core and installed it in a Life Force Conversion Device, creating the Blue Silver Life Soul Engine.
• Huo Yuhao realized Blue Silver Alloy could evolve and might be used to make a Mecha with an intelligent contract and a synchronized connection to its pilot, and he thought of Xiao Hongchen.

• Huo Yuhao developed theories for using Blue Silver Alloy to create other special alloys and advance Soul Guide Technology.
• Qiu'er teased Huo Yuhao about his affection for Wang Dong'er and his other partners, then comforted him as he fell asleep in her arms.

Huo Yuhao caught up with Qiu'er on Star Dou Great Forest affairs before they became intimate, while Gu Yuena arrived with news of her recovery and secretly left after seeing them together. Gu Yuena planned to return to full strength in three or four years, but she remained unaware that others were also growing close to Huo Yuhao.

• Qiu'er told Huo Yuhao that Bear Lord had completed Spiritual Forging, Elder Yi's Form Transformation Secret Art was nearing completion, and Gu Yuena had gone to heal her injuries; she also gave him the Spirit Forged Metal she had forged.

After nearly half a year in seclusion, Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Empire, where Meng Hongchen confronted him about his absences and supposed romantic entanglements. He learned that Xu Tianzhen had mistaken a conversation about his rejection of her for a planned marriage, and she arrived to challenge him to a fight.

• Meng Hongchen embraced Huo Yuhao, complained that he had stayed away for nearly half a year, and urged him to marry her.
• Meng Hongchen accused Huo Yuhao of attracting Ju Zi and Xu Tianzhen, but Huo Yuhao said he had never pursued Xu Tianzhen.
• Meng Hongchen explained that Xu Tianzhen had overheard her and the emperor discussing Huo Yuhao's rejection and had mistakenly believed they were arranging her marriage.
• Kong Deming told Huo Yuhao that Xu Tianzhen would probably challenge him to a fight.
• Xu Tianzhen kicked open the door, demanded an explanation for Huo Yuhao rejecting her, and Huo Yuhao proposed that they fight.

Huo Yuhao defeated Xu Tianzhen with his newly completed Soul Armor, which amplified his abilities and let him control more than a hundred Floating Soul Guide Cannons. After he explained the armor to Kong Deming, Xu Tianzhen asked Huo Yuhao to teach her and offered to warm his bed.

• Huo Yuhao used his Soul Armor and Spiritual Power to block Xu Tianzhen's attacks, impressing Kong Deming with the armor's power.
• Huo Yuhao released Xu Tianzhen, then revealed a wall of more than a hundred Level 5 Floating Soul Guide Cannons and made her surrender.
• Huo Yuhao showed Kong Deming the Soul Armor and explained that it enhanced his Martial Soul and his ability to control Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
• Huo Yuhao gave Kong Deming his notes on crafting Soul Armor, and Kong Deming realized that its demanding Soul Power control made it nearly impossible for anyone else to create.
• Xu Tianzhen asked Huo Yuhao to teach her and offered to warm his bed.

Xu Tianzhen enthusiastically tried to persuade Huo Yuhao to take her as a student, and he agreed to teach her Soul Engineering. Days later, Ju Zi reported that the Sun Moon royal family was trying to secure Huo Yuhao’s loyalty by matching him with Xu Tianzhen.

• Xu Tianzhen offered Huo Yuhao tea, cakes, gifts, and even to warm his bed in exchange for becoming his student.
• Xu Tianzhen said she had heard the rumors about Huo Yuhao and would not oppose a marriage arranged by her father.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to teach Xu Tianzhen Soul Engineering, including his gloves, Soul Power control, and method for controlling Floating Soul Guide Cannons.
• Ju Zi told Huo Yuhao that Xu Tianran had asked her to probe his attitude toward the royal family and princes, and that the Emperor hoped to pair him with Xu Tianzhen.
• Huo Yuhao recognized the match as the royal family’s attempt to bind him to the Sun Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao discussed the Sun Moon Empire’s future and began mentoring Ju Zi while continuing his work at the academy. Miss Auspicious Beast then summoned him to see Elder Yi’s successful Form Transformation Secret Art for Soul Beasts.

• Ju Zi asked whether Huo Yuhao liked the Naive Princess, and he explained that he found her interesting and considered her his student.
• Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi discussed the Sun Moon Empire’s preparations for war, the Emperor’s health, and the possibility of Xu Tianran taking the throne.
• Huo Yuhao began guiding Ju Zi’s cultivation and spent his days mentoring students and directing Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan’s training at the Spirit Pagoda.

• Miss Auspicious Beast emerged from a Space Door and told Huo Yuhao that Elder Yi had completed the Form Transformation Secret Art for Soul Beasts.
• Qiu'er took Huo Yuhao by the hand, and they vanished to visit Elder Yi.

At the Lake of Life, Huo Yuhao witnessed the Blazing Tiger King undergo the first successful Form Transformation Secret Art, becoming a Soul Beast Soul Master without losing its cultivation. The experiment ended with the Blazing Tiger King's Blood Essence Soul Rings and Martial Soul Avatar demonstrating power that threatened even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

• Qiu'er brought Huo Yuhao through a Space Door to the gathered Soul Beasts, where Gu Yuena watched him with a faint chill.
• Electrolux used a Magic Array to guide the Blazing Tiger King through the Form Transformation Secret Art, giving it a humanoid body while preserving its cultivation.
• The Blazing Tiger King emerged as an eight-ring Soul Douluo and began converting its soul rings through Blood Qi Body Cultivation.
• After four hours, the Blazing Tiger King's eight soul rings became blood-red Blood Essence Soul Rings, granting it physical strength enough to contend with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• The Blazing Tiger King summoned its Martial Soul Avatar, shocking the assembled Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Huo Yuhao used the Blazing Tiger King to test the final stage of his Soul Beast conversion plan, forging a powerful Dharma Aspect from the king’s Blood Essence Soul Rings and Martial Soul Avatar. The successful transformation revealed a possible way to resolve the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts.

• The Blazing Tiger King returned to his Soul Beast form, restored to peak condition by his seventh soul ring.
• Electrolux handed control of the Magic Array to Huo Yuhao, who prepared to test the Dharma Aspect method on the Blazing Tiger King.
• Huo Yuhao revealed his twelve soul rings, while Gu Yuena judged that she was strong enough to suppress him and expected to win.
• With the Blazing Tiger King’s consent, Huo Yuhao controlled his body and increased the blood qi capacity of all his soul rings until the king reached his limit.
• Huo Yuhao fused the Blazing Tiger King’s soul rings into his seventh ring and then into his Martial Soul Avatar, creating a solid, hundred-meter-tall Dharma Aspect.

Huo Yuhao tested a cultivation method that let the Blazing Tiger King switch between Soul Beast and human forms, confirming that it restored his health and extended his lifespan. He explained to Gu Yuena how the system could help humans and Soul Beasts understand one another and reduce their conflict, though its final stage remained incomplete.

• Huo Yuhao returned control of the Blazing Tiger King's body to him, and the Blazing Tiger King reported that he was healed and could survive his Heavenly Tribulation.
• Huo Yuhao had the Blazing Tiger King switch into human form and used the Eye of Destiny to assess how the new system changed his lifespan, cultivation, and combat power across different forms.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that the method worked but that fully merging the Dharma Aspect with the soul master remained a step each individual had to achieve alone.
• Gu Yuena watched the Blazing Tiger King change forms and wondered whether the system meant humans were becoming Soul Beasts or Soul Beasts were being reborn as humans.
• Huo Yuhao told Gu Yuena that mutual understanding through the new cultivation system could ease the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, and that the two groups could be separated if peace remained impossible.

Huo Yuhao explained to Gu Yuena that sufficient strength could resolve the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, then began preparing the Spirit Pagoda for contact with the Sun Moon Empire. A month later, Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen rushed into his dormitory to change him for a banquet, leaving him alarmed by their eagerness.

• Huo Yuhao told Gu Yuena that a peak God King could raise the Douluo Plane and give humans or Soul Beasts separate planes if their conflict could not be reconciled.
• Gu Yuena left Huo Yuhao a small plane for her recovery and warned him to behave himself, glancing at Qiu'er before she vanished.
• Huo Yuhao organized ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts to perform the Form Transformation Secret Art and decided the Spirit Pagoda was nearly ready to contact the Sun Moon Empire.
• One month later, Huo Yuhao cleaned his dormitory after Qiu'er visited, then found Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen at his door in formal clothes.
• Meng Hongchen pulled Huo Yuhao toward his bedroom to help him change for a banquet, and Xu Tianzhen eagerly tried to join her.

At the Sun Moon Emperor’s birthday banquet, three Limit Douluo appeared and offered the empire Spirit Forged Metal in exchange for a deal. The emperor cleared the hall to discuss their proposal, while Huo Yuhao and the others left under guard.

• The leading figure offered Kong Deming Spirit Forged Metal as proof of the value of their proposed deal.
• The emperor ordered the banquet guests out so he could discuss the deal with the three visitors.
• Jing Hongchen sent Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Xu Tianzhen out of the hall, and Huo Yuhao reassured Xiao Hongchen that his teacher would be fine.

As Huo Yuhao and the others fled the banquet hall, he used the Power of Emotion to make Xu Tianzhen reveal her views on the imperial family and her plans for marriage. After she proposed an engagement with Huo Yuhao, he erased her memories of the conversation and turned his attention to Long Xiaoyao.

• Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen urged their group to keep running from the banquet hall.
• Huo Yuhao used the Power of Emotion to prompt Xu Tianzhen to explain that she saw herself as a political bargaining chip and felt little attachment to the imperial family.
• Xu Tianzhen proposed that she and Huo Yuhao get engaged, outlined how she wanted their relationship to work, and began discussing what would happen if they had children.
• Huo Yuhao stopped Xu Tianzhen, lifted the mental barrier, and erased her memory of what she had said.
• Huo Yuhao shifted part of his attention to the undead Long Xiaoyao as the group continued fleeing.

Huo Yuhao, controlling Long Xiaoyao, offered the Sun Moon Empire Spirit Forged Metal in exchange for its future Power of Faith, claiming a sea-based Beast Sect sought to help its Sect Master become a deity. The Emperor was left to consider the proposal, while Huo Yuhao’s real campaign to conquer the sea and gather faith was already advancing.

• Huo Yuhao, posing as Elder Yu with Bear Lord and Scarlet King, asked the Sun Moon Emperor to begin their transaction.
• Huo Yuhao claimed the Beast Sect came from the sea and wanted the Sun Moon Empire to provide Power of Faith after unifying the continent in exchange for Spirit Forged Metal.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the deal would accelerate the empire’s preparations for war, give Soul Engineers access to Spirit Forged Metal, and supply his own forces with materials.
• Huo Yuhao had dispatched Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to subdue sea regions, spread the Ring Destruction Seal and Artificial Soul Ring Device, and gather faith in himself as the Sea God.
• Huo Yuhao’s efforts had won the Power of Faith from beings across one-sixth of the sea within a month.

Huo Yuhao learned that the three Limit Douluo had thrown Mingde Hall into turmoil, while Shrek completed its purge and established Class Zero. Tang San grew stronger and more twisted as he pursued the God Examination, and Du Weilun again asked him to join the Martial Soul Department.

• Jing Hongchen told Huo Yuhao that Mingde Hall was busy because of the three Limit Douluo, and Kong Deming gave him Spirit Forged Metal to study.
• Shrek's purge ended with four Sea God Pavilion Elders executed, two imprisoned, and reforms that created Class Zero for Soul Tool-assisted cultivation.
• Tang San advanced toward Rank 37 through Class Zero's simulated environment and Life Essence, while becoming increasingly addicted to dangerous sensations.
• Tang San recalled earning the fourth and fifth God Examination rewards, including two God-Bestowed Soul Rings and the Body of a Celestial, and began plotting to kill Tang San of the God Realm.
• Du Weilun asked Tang San whether he had decided to join the Martial Soul Department, and Tang San said he had not made up his mind.

Tang San accepted Du Weilun’s offer to join Shrek’s Martial Soul Department as Xuan Zi’s disciple, then used his access to the Golden Ancient Tree to awaken Ah Yin. He explained his plan to have her sacrifice herself for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, leaving Ah Yin stunned.

• Du Weilun offered Tang San Inner Academy resources, a Titled Douluo teacher, soul bones, and authorization to purchase a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Tang San agreed to join the Martial Soul Department.
• Du Weilun told Tang San that Xuan Zi, a Rank 98 Super Douluo, had agreed to take him as a disciple and arranged to bring him to the Golden Ancient Tree the next day.
• Du Weilun gave Tang San a temporary Sea God Island Token and directed him to enter the Golden Ancient Tree alone.
• Tang San used his Divine Sense to find and awaken Ah Yin inside a crystal of Sea God Divine Power.
• Tang San told Ah Yin about his circumstances and his plan for her to sacrifice herself so he could gain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Ah Yin froze in shock.

Tang San secured Ah Yin’s promise to sacrifice herself once he reached Soul King level, then went to find Elder Xuan and mistook Huo Yuhao for his prospective master. The chapter ended with Tang San kneeling and kowtowing to Huo Yuhao, who was baffled by the sudden display.

• Ah Yin agreed to sacrifice herself for Tang San, but warned that he should wait until he reached level fifty because his body might not withstand the sacrifice sooner.
• Tang San planned to reach Soul King level by adding four ten-thousand-year Soul Rings to his Sky-Shattering Hammer, then return to claim Ah Yin’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• After withdrawing his Divine Sense, Tang San continued toward his meeting with Elder Xuan, hoping to gain a level ninety-eight Super Douluo as his master.
• Tang San encountered Huo Yuhao, whose aura made him seem invisible to Tang San’s Divine Sense, and assumed he was the powerful master he sought.
• Tang San dropped to his knees, kowtowed three times, and asked Huo Yuhao to accept him as a disciple; Huo Yuhao questioned why he was kneeling.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Extreme North with the Ice Empress and reunited with the Snow Empress, whose closeness with him left the Ice Empress unsure whom to be jealous of. He then began reorganizing the Extreme North to gather its Power of Faith, while reflecting on how faith-based divinity differed from his self-created cultivation system.

• Tang San pleaded with Huo Yuhao to accept him as a disciple, but Huo Yuhao summoned Elder Xuan and left; Tang San then bowed to Elder Xuan and called him Teacher.
• Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress returned to the Extreme North’s core region through a Space Door.
• The Snow Empress greeted Huo Yuhao, sensed his growing strength, and caressed his cheek, leaving the Ice Empress feeling like an outsider.
• The Snow Empress gathered every Soul Beast in the Extreme North above ten thousand years old as Huo Yuhao began reorganizing the region and seeking its Power of Faith.
• Huo Yuhao considered how the first Sea God had used faith to form a divinity and contrasted that approach with his own Soul Ring Bearing Soul Core System.

Huo Yuhao gathered the Extreme North’s Soul Beasts, won their support, and taught them cultivation methods as he prepared to strengthen the Spirit Pagoda. The Snow Empress learned that the Ice Empress had chosen Huo Yuhao as her partner, but became concerned when she sensed signs that he was involved with other powerful beings as well.

• Huo Yuhao preserved the faith power belonging to Poseidon and Tang San from the Sea God Divinity and began replacing it with his own.
• Huo Yuhao demonstrated his strength to the Extreme North’s Soul Beasts, taught them new cultivation methods, and helped suitable ones form Dharma Aspects.
• Xiao Bai asked the Ice Empress whether Huo Yuhao was his father, and she angrily insisted that he was only Xiao Bai’s uncle by marriage.

• The Snow Empress recalled the other powerful auras she had sensed from Huo Yuhao and worried that he was too amorous.
