The Star Luo Empire committed most of its forces to stopping the Sun Moon Empire at the Mingdou Mountain Range, while Ju Zi concentrated her troops on killing the White Tiger Duke.

• Dai Hao ordered his soldiers to gather near the Spirit Masters for protection as his forces slowly retreated and faced possible annihilation.

Dai Yueheng proposed spreading out the defenses, leaving the commanders to balance the danger of another bombardment against the risk of being defeated on separate fronts.

• Xu Jiujiu brought Xu Yun to her side and transferred Dai Loli away from the army, while Dai Yueheng helped her maintain control after the White Tiger Duke’s death.
• An intelligence officer reported that the Northwest Army Group had lost over one hundred thousand soldiers, and the Golden Spear Douluo had also died in a Rank 9 Fixed-Array Soul Cannon Shell attack.

• Dai Yueheng recommended spreading out the defensive line to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from destroying concentrated forces with another Rank 9 Fixed-Array Soul Cannon Shell.
• Xuanji Douluo warned that dispersed defenses could be exploited, while Xu Jiujiu’s reinforcements and the prospect of aid from the Heaven Dou Empire and Dou Ling Empire offered hope of holding the line.

Xu Jiujiu stabilized the Star Luo Empire’s northwestern defense line while the Sun Moon Empire remained mysteriously inactive and the Dou Ling Empire sent reinforcements. Meanwhile, Liu Xing reflected on the Scorching Knight Legion’s success and watched the Death God Tower as the Holy Spirit Cult profited from the battlefield’s dead.

At the Mingdou Mountain Range defense line, he and Meng Hongchen awaited the arrival of allied reinforcements before Ju Zi’s planned offensive began.

• The Holy Spirit Cult valued newly recruited Soul Masters as cannon fodder and reserved costly martial-soul transformations for exceptional geniuses such as Liu Xing.
• Liu Xing saw that Ye Xishui’s cultivation and the Death God Tower’s power had grown, and he suspected the Godslaying War had benefited the Holy Spirit Cult’s strongest members.
• Liu Xing believed Douluo Star needed stronger cultivation and technology, unified under the Sun Moon Empire, to develop and eventually reach the wider universe.
• Liu Xing observed that Ju Zi had transferred most of the army away from the Mingdou Mountain Range, leaving a powerful soul-tool defense line that the Star Luo Empire still feared to attack.
• Meng Hongchen told Liu Xing that Dou Ling Empire reinforcements had arrived and some Heaven Dou Empire reinforcements were on their way; Liu Xing said Ju Zi’s full-scale offensive would begin once they were in place.

Liu Xing explained how Ju Zi’s feint against the Star Luo Empire concealed a surprise attack on the Heaven Dou Empire, while Meng Hongchen tried to attract his attention with her uniform. Days later, the Star Luo Empire mobilized for an unexpectedly early counterattack, leaving Meng Hongchen puzzled.

• Liu Xing outlined Ju Zi’s plan to draw the continent’s attention to the Mingdou Mountain Range while the Sun Moon Empire attacked the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Meng Hongchen deliberately wore a uniform to please Liu Xing, who credited her with encouraging Firefly to explore different outfits.

• A few days later, the Sun Moon Empire’s Detection Spirit Tools detected the Star Luo Empire mobilizing troops toward the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Meng Hongchen questioned why the Star Luo Empire had begun its counterattack before the Heaven Dou Empire’s battle had officially started.

Liu Xing sent the Scorching Knight Legion into battle as the Star Luo Empire launched a massive assault on the Mingdou Mountain Range.
