Tang San contacted Da Ming and Er Ming to learn about events on Douluo Continent and ordered them to bring Wang Dong'er back from Shrek so he could give her a Ninth Soul Ring.

After the Sea Princess warned Huo Yuhao that a Sea God Priest had emerged and was gathering intelligence on the Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao struggled to choose how to face several powerful enemies at once. His worries drove his Sea of Spirit into a dangerous Mental Power riot, and the Beasts realized he was approaching Mental Self-Destruction.

Sea God Douluo failed to uncover meaningful information about Shrek and the continent, and his attempt to investigate Star Dou Great Forest ended in a quick retreat from Di Tian and the Soul Beasts guarding its Core Zone. He reported his failure to Tang San, who was left weighing the Sea God Family’s secrecy against the risks of revealing it.

• Sea God Douluo found that Shrek was on war readiness and that the other empires wanted his unidentified Titled Douluo relatives to join the fight against the Sun Moon Empire.

• Tang San considered the hidden Sea God Family’s purpose as a force loyal to him, unknown to both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
