After Lin Xi drove Salas away and destroyed the Papal Edict, her Godhead Fragment pointed her toward an ancient secret realm in the Star Dou Great Forest. She immediately led the Shrek Seven Devils back into the forest, promising them a chance to reach Soul Ancestor.

Lin Xi led the Shrek Seven Devils into the Star Dou Great Forest’s poisonous Misty Marsh for physical training, where they struggled against the terrain and a pack of Swamp Stalkers. The group won by combining their abilities, but Lin Xi judged their performance inadequate.

• Lin Xi pointed the group toward the Misty Marsh and entered first, with Tang San and the others following her into the poisonous swamp.
• Tang San warned that the miasma numbed their nerves, while Lin Xi told the group to resist it with Soul Power instead of relying on Ning Rongrong’s support.
• Tang San detected Swamp Stalkers beneath the mud, and the creatures ambushed Ning Rongrong and Oscar as Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Xiao Wu fought them off.
• After the Stalkers wounded Ma Hongjun and overwhelmed the group’s defenses, Dai Mubai asked Tang San to restrain them for three seconds.
• Tang San trapped the Stalkers in a poisoned Blue Silver Grass web, and Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun finished the pack with their attacks.
• With the Stalkers defeated and the group exhausted and injured, Lin Xi called them too slow and trash.

After the Shrek Seven Devils struggled against the Swamp Stalkers, Lin Xi criticized their hesitant fighting and forced them to confront the consequences of weakness by eating raw Spirit Beast meat. As a much stronger Spirit Beast charged toward them, Lin Xi told Tang San that the coming fight was his chance to break through or die.

• Lin Xi scolded the Shrek Seven Devils for holding back their strongest abilities and fighting carelessly against the Swamp Stalkers.
• Lin Xi roasted meat for herself and Tang San, then told the others to eat the raw, filthy Spirit Beast corpses as proof of their weakness.
• Dai Mubai ate raw meat first and urged the others to follow; Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Oscar also ate.
• Ning Rongrong refused until Lin Xi warned that she could be eaten by the swamp Spirit Beasts, so Ning Rongrong reluctantly swallowed a piece of raw meat.
• A far stronger Spirit Beast roared and rushed toward them, and Lin Xi told Tang San to break through or die.

Lin Xi restrained a Ten Thousand Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and ordered Tang San to face it with the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San killed it, broke through to Soul Ancestor, and received its purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

• Lin Xi purified the tiger's Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring and offered it to Tang San to absorb.

Tang San absorbed a purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring and broke through to Soul Ancestor while Lin Xi forced the others to face dangerous trials. Dai Mubai fought an Adamantine Baboon, Ning Rongrong and Oscar held off Bone Rot Vultures, and the group’s challenges continued.

• Tang San began absorbing the purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring as Dai Mubai resolved to earn a Spirit Ring through his own battle.
• Lin Xi lured Spirit Beasts toward the group and sent Dai Mubai to kill a thirteen-thousand-year Adamantine Baboon, forbidding anyone from interfering.

• Tang San opened his eyes as his aura surged, marking his breakthrough to Soul Ancestor.

Tang San broke through to Soul Ancestor and used his new Evil God Lock while the Shrek Seven Devils fought through their trials. Lin Xi led them to a petrified giant tree in the Land of Fallen Gods, where awakened guardians marked them for eradication.

• Tang San reached Soul Ancestor, gained the Evil God Lock, and prepared to help Ning Rongrong and Oscar, but Lin Xi sent Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun to join their trial instead.
• Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun worked with Ning Rongrong and Oscar to defeat the Bone Rot Vultures, while Zhu Zhuqing helped Dai Mubai kill the Adamantine Baboon and reach level forty.
• After the battles, Lin Xi led the group through the Misty Marsh to a desolate land centered on a vast petrified tree.
• Lin Xi touched the tree and said a god had bled there, awakening its ancient runes and drawing energy guardians from its base.
• The Dragon-shaped Guardian declared Lin Xi's group intruders and ordered their eradication.

Lin Xi trapped the ancient guardians in her domain, destroyed one, and explained how the Shrek Seven Devils could defeat them. Their first attempts failed, but her rebuke helped Dai Mubai realize he could channel Soul Power through his tiger claw soul bone.

• The guardians attacked the Shrek Seven Devils, but Lin Xi stepped forward and froze them with her Mirror Flower, Water Moon domain.
• Lin Xi destroyed a tiger-shaped guardian and explained that the others’ Soul Fires were their energy cores and their weakness.

• Dai Mubai led the Seven Devils into battle, but their attacks mostly failed while the guardians injured them by striking their souls.
• Lin Xi urged them to use their soul skills and soul bones, and Dai Mubai gathered Soul Power into his right-arm tiger claw soul bone for a White Tiger, Heaven-Splitting Strike.

Lin Xi criticized the Shrek Seven Devils for fighting without coordination and assigned them specific roles against the guardians. They followed her plan, dividing the battlefield and unleashing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill against the strongest guardian.

• Dai Mubai used Ma Hongjun’s flames and Zhu Zhuqing’s Netherworld Slash to destroy a guardian’s Soul Fire.
• Lin Xi pointed out the group’s tactical failures as Xiao Wu became trapped and Tang San damaged an Eight Spider Lance protecting her.
• Lin Xi assigned Tang San to divide the battlefield, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ma Hongjun to suppress enemies, Xiao Wu to harass them, and Ning Rongrong and Oscar to provide support.
• Tang San used Spider Web Restraint to split the battlefield and keep the guardians from encircling the group.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing summoned the Hell White Tiger and charged the strongest Dragon-shaped Guardian.

Shrek defeated the Energy Guardians through coordinated tactics, with Tang San helping the Hell White Tiger break the Dragon-shaped Guardian’s purification chains. After the trial declared them victorious, Lin Xi granted the exhausted team entry into the ancient tree.

• Tang San divided the battlefield with his webs while the Hell White Tiger battled the Dragon-shaped Guardian and Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu eliminated isolated Guardians.
• The Dragon-shaped Guardian bound the Hell White Tiger with golden chains and began purifying it as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing ran out of strength.
• Tang San used Purple Demon Eye to locate a vulnerable point in the Guardian’s energy flow and sent its coordinates to the Hell White Tiger.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing concentrated their remaining power into Annihilation Kill, shattering the chains and defeating the Dragon-shaped Guardian.
• The Guardians vanished, and Lin Xi told the exhausted Shrek team to enter the opening in the ancient tree.

Lin Xi and the Shrek Seven Devils entered the petrified tree and discovered murals revealing how an ancient god sealed a rift with his body. When the god’s Axe Heart merged with Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer, Lin Xi ordered him to use the transformed weapon to consume the unleashed energy storm.

• Lin Xi led Tang San and the others into the hollow tree, where they found murals depicting an ancient god’s battle against monsters from beyond the world.
• Dai Mubai realized the god’s dark-gold blood had stained the Douluo Continent and created the Land of Fallen Gods.
• Lin Xi identified the small hammer on the altar as the Axe Heart of the god’s divine axe and suggested Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer came from the missing axe body.

• Tang San struck the altar with his Clear Sky Hammer, drawing the Axe Heart into it and transforming the weapon with dark-gold Divine Marks.
• Lin Xi commanded Tang San to use his hammer to swallow the unstable energy storm.

Tang San absorbed the divine energy storm through his transformed Clear Sky Hammer, while Lin Xi found a divine tear and gained the ability to read the ancient runes. The runes revealed Pangu’s warning about a journey into the Void to destroy the Zeroer, and Lin Xi was shaken by what would happen if he failed.

• Lin Xi urged Tang San to use his Clear Sky Hammer to absorb the divine energy storm, and he charged into it despite his companions’ alarm.
• Tang San endured the storm tearing apart and rebuilding his body while he circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, eventually absorbing the energy and returning transformed.
• Lin Xi found a dark-golden teardrop in the altar’s empty groove and collected it as the Tear of the God after completing her mission.
• Lin Xi gained Ancient Rune Interpretation and read the mural’s inscription, which named Pangu and described his mission to destroy the Zeroer in the Void.
• Lin Xi stopped at the warning that the myriad worlds would become ruins if Pangu did not return.

After discovering the ancient war of gods and the threat of the Zeroers, Lin Xi erased the revelations and led the Shrek Seven Devils out of the Misty Marsh. The group returned to the academy with renewed resolve, while Lin Xi watched Suotuo City and anticipated Spirit Hall’s next move.

• Lin Xi erased the murals and runes, then ordered everyone to forget what they had learned about Pangu, the Zeroers, and the void.
• Lin Xi warned Tang San that he lacked the power to confront the Zeroers or seek the missing axe head, and she led the group out of the tree hollow.
• Lin Xi returned the Tear of the God to the earth, easing the Land of Fallen Gods’ grief and stirring a faint trace of life.
• Tang San’s new aura kept the Misty Marsh’s soul beasts away, while Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others reflected on their changed understanding of power.
• Lin Xi ordered everyone to spend a month consolidating their cultivation after they returned to the academy, then watched Suotuo City for Spirit Hall’s next move.

Lin Xi returned to Shrek Academy with the Shrek Seven Devils, who had all reached Soul Ancestor level and carried a terrifying, restrained killing intent. As Li Si secretly reported their strength to Spirit Hall, an unseen watcher observed him from the academy’s tallest building.

• Yu Xiaogang rushed back to his research room, convinced that absolute power and knowledge could break bloodline and age constraints.

Flender discovered that Li Si had vanished, while Lin Xi pushed the Shrek Seven Devils through punishing training. Three days later, Spirit Hall’s Inspection Bishop Lodis offered the students recruitment and Lin Xi an Elder Hall position, but Lin Xi confronted him about Li Si’s attempted intrusion and rejected his claim of the Pope’s kindness.

• Flender found Li Si’s room empty and assumed the handyman had run away.

• Lin Xi accused Lodis of calling a five-ring Soul Master’s secret dormitory intrusion kindness and challenged his right to make the offer.

Lin Xi defeated Lodis after he attacked Shrek Academy, crushed the Papal Edict, and drove him away in terror. She told the stunned Shrek teachers and students that Lodis had only been a whetstone, then said she had killed the rat and invited Bibi Dong to seek revenge herself.

• Lodis unleashed his Soul Douluo pressure and eighth Spirit Ability against Lin Xi and the Shrek Seven Devils, but Lin Xi remained unaffected and caught his holy sword between two fingers.

• Lin Xi ordered Lodis to leave, and he fled Shrek Academy in terror without his Temple Knights.
• Lin Xi told the Shrek teachers and students that Lodis had been their whetstone and said she had killed the rat, challenging Bibi Dong to come herself.
