Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was teleported from Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley to the Star Dou Great Forest, where he reunited with Wang Dong and Shrek’s group, leaving Su Ming to wonder what Tang San had planned for him.

• The Immortal Herbs accepted that Su Ming and Feng Wu Yu would borrow the area's environment to cultivate, then protested when they began forging after Zang Xin left.

Feng Wu Yu and Guo Xiao Xu fought the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, but the Dragon Kings’ power suppressed them until Su Ming revealed himself and drove the Dragon Souls away. The herbs then accused the Tang Sect of exploiting them for centuries, leaving Su Ming silently judging the sect’s actions.

• Feng Wu Yu attacked the immortal herbs, but Guo Xiao Xu intervened and asked to negotiate on behalf of the Tang Sect.
• Su Ming rejected Guo Xiao Xu’s claim that the incident was an internal Tang Sect matter and demanded immortal herbs totaling two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

• Feng Wu Yu contacted Yun Ming, while Guo Xiao Xu reported the situation to Zang Xin; Su Ming messaged Zhen Hua, Mu Ye, and Han Tianyi.
• With Zang Xin’s permission, Su Ming chose the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Primordial Immortal Grass, two herbs that shocked Guo Xiao Xu.

Su Ming negotiated for the Primordial Immortal Grass and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to become his Soul Spirits, gaining the promise of greater cultivation and Soul Core prospects. Several Quasi-Gods gathered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to discuss the site, where Qian Gu Die Ting questioned whether Su Ming and the others could leave.

• Su Ming learned that the Primordial Immortal Grass could purify Soul Power and help condense Soul Cores, then agreed to wait until he could support it as a Soul Spirit.
• The Primordial Immortal Grass offered to become Su Ming's Soul Spirit, promising to improve his chances of forming Soul Cores.

Su Ming left the Quasi-Gods to study the Dragon Souls and returned to Shrek Academy, where he used the Sea God Pavilion to receive Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's sacrifice. After learning that Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could absorb Water of Time, he rewarded the Light Cluster and proposed naming it Spring and Autumn.

• Su Ming chose to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes with Feng Wu Yu while Han Tianyi stayed to study the Dragon Souls.
• Su Ming returned to Shrek Academy, warned Zhen Hua to stay on guard, and arranged to break through in the Sea God Pavilion.
• Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew sacrificed itself to become Su Ming's fifth Soul Ring, reaching the Hundred Thousand Year level.
• The Light Cluster welcomed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew into Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness and offered to let it drink water in exchange for licking it.
• Su Ming stopped Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew from tasting Water of Time, then gave it a few drops and found that it could absorb them.
• Su Ming credited the Light Cluster with discovering Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's affinity for Water of Time and suggested naming it Spring and Autumn.

Su Ming gained Spring and Autumn as a time-talented soul spirit, then absorbed the primordial immortal grass despite warnings that he was rushing into soul-core condensation. He successfully formed a soul core at rank 59 and briefly resonated with his self in Dou Er.

• Su Ming named Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Spring and Autumn and assigned Light Cluster to help him develop his time talent.

• After absorbing the primordial immortal grass, Su Ming reached rank 59 and began condensing a soul core in the Sea God Pavilion.
• Su Ming activated Trinity and merged his Dou Er soul power into the forming soul core, which resonated with his self in Dou Er.

Su Ming completed his breakthrough in the Sea God Pavilion, becoming a Soul Emperor after absorbing two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits, while he remained intent on developing a spiritual domain rather than claiming the Spirit Domain Realm by its numerical threshold. His use of Sea God Power alerted Old Tang, who suspected the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was involved and resolved to retrieve it.

• Su Ming's Soul Cores briefly resonated as his Soul Power broke through, and he absorbed the Primordial Immortal Grass as a Soul Spirit, gaining a red Soul Ring.
• The Pavilion Elders were stunned by Su Ming's six Soul Rings and the fact that he had merged with two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits.
• Su Ming reflected that his Spiritual Power had crossed twenty thousand but that he had not reached the Spirit Domain Realm because he had not formed a spiritual domain.
• Su Ming looked toward Ah Yin within the Golden Ancient Tree and waited for her to help him further as Sea God Power erupted from him.
• Old Tang sensed the Sea God's descent from Tang Wulin's body, concluded that someone had stolen or concealed Sea God faith, and suspected the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Old Tang decided to conserve his limited chances to act for Tang Wulin and vowed to reclaim the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Su Ming used the Golden Ancient Tree’s power to obtain a blue-gold Plane Seed, becoming the Son of Nature, while the tree lost nearly one-tenth of its Origin. Long Yeyue confronted him at Shrek Academy and demanded to know what had happened.

• Su Ming returned to Shrek Academy while the Quasi-Gods were gathered elsewhere and waited for Ah Yin to give him a seed.
• Ah Yin caused the Golden Ancient Tree’s power to surge, and its Origin flowed into Su Ming as Ya Li, Zhuo Shi, and the other elders looked on.
• A blue-gold Plane Seed formed in Su Ming’s Sea of Consciousness, accompanied by a halo of the Golden Ancient Tree’s power.
• Spring and Autumn and Hun Yuan identified Su Ming as the Son of Nature, while Old Tang realized Ah Yin had given him only her Blue Silver Empress Origin and retained most of the tree’s power.
• Su Ming opened his eyes to find Long Yeyue and the Shrek Pavilion elders surrounding him; Long Yeyue said the Golden Ancient Tree had lost nearly one-tenth of its Origin and demanded an explanation.

Su Ming refused to compensate Shrek for the Golden Ancient Tree’s losses, then left the Sea God Pavilion and planned his next steps in cultivation. Yun Ming learned how much power the tree had expended and wondered whether Su Ming was an unforeseen variable at the ten-thousand-year juncture.

• Su Ming denied knowing what had happened to the Golden Ancient Tree, and Feng Wu Yu tried to negotiate a way for him to compensate Shrek without revealing what he had gained.
• Su Ming argued that the gains were the return on a finalized transaction, and Long Yeyue and the other elders chose not to detain him because they hoped to recruit him.
• Su Ming contacted Zhen Hua, left the Sea God Pavilion, and then assigned training to Light Cluster, Chaos, Spring and Autumn, and Hun Yuan.
• Su Ming planned to develop Spring and Autumn’s ability to fish for progress from other futures and to condense three Spiritual Domains that could eventually fuse through Trinity.
• At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, Yun Ming received news about the Golden Ancient Tree’s expenditure and wondered what made Su Ming special, while the Quasi-Gods continued studying the Dragon Souls.

Su Ming completed his first stage of cultivation, transforming his Fifth Soul Skill into Space-Time Shuttle by drawing on the Water of Time and the Time River. He joined the delegation bound for the Star Luo Continent, where blacksmith Lin Yuhan challenged him with a Blood Scale Crystal as the wager; Su Ming instead asked her to show him where she found it.

• Su Ming used the transformed Space-Time Shuttle and considered eventually traveling through different futures, while resolving to secure a way back before attempting it.
• Su Ming ended his two-and-a-half-month seclusion and boarded the ship to Star Luo with the Federation delegation, intending to promote forging and seek Soul Spirits.
• Lin Yuhan introduced herself as a blacksmith from the Star Luo Empire Blacksmith Association and challenged Su Ming to a forging contest.
• Lin Yuhan offered a Blood Scale Crystal containing Qilin blood as the wager, and Su Ming sensed that it carried the Power of Luck.
• Su Ming declined to compete for the crystal and asked Lin Yuhan to take him to where it had formed.

Su Ming learned that Lin Yuhan’s Blood Scale Crystal had gathered luck from Star Luo Continent and discovered a way to search for clues about the continent’s qilin origins. He then hunted for Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beasts, but rejected every candidate he encountered, including a Fierce Beast.

• Su Ming explained the Spirit Fusion Method to Lin Yuhan, who offered her Blood Scale Crystal to learn it; he invited her to attend his forging lessons and she promised to take him to where she had found the crystal.
• Su Ming asked Electrolux about the Power of Luck and learned that the Body Sect and Blacksmith Association lacked a means to stabilize their luck.
• Su Ming asked Mu Ye to help him search the waters along the giant ship’s route for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Su Ming rejected a Thunder Shark and, after a month of searching that yielded eleven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, continued looking for one that suited him.
• After Su Ming used Sea God Faith and encountered the Fierce Beast Deep Sea Demon Chapter, he rejected it because it would add little beyond increased attributes.

Su Ming reconsidered how to give his elemental control martial soul a second awakening, while in Dou Yi he completed a fabricated soul tool inheritance relic. He told Zhu Jiuyang he planned to open the relic to the public, leaving his teacher shocked by his decision to share its knowledge.

• Su Ming and Mu Ye hunted deep-sea soul beasts, and Su Ming began considering using Nana’s ghost spirit as the root of his elemental control martial soul’s second awakening.
• In Dou Yi, Su Ming killed the unconscious Tang Hao after reviving, then completed his re-cultivation, raising Little Gold’s cultivation and restoring his soul power to rank sixty.
• Su Ming prepared a fabricated relic containing soul tool knowledge, a fictional Soul Engineer Family inheritance, and additional techniques and resources he wanted to introduce.
• Su Ming set trials and secrecy measures in the relic, then crafted a Communication Soul Tool and contacted Zhu Jiuyang.
• Su Ming told Zhu Jiuyang he intended to open the relic to the public, and Zhu Jiuyang was shocked that he would share the inheritance instead of monopolizing it.

Su Ming arranged a Hunt Soul expedition to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, offering the Blacksmith Association’s Soul Tool ruins in exchange for the factions’ support. The team reached the Lake of Life after Zhu Jiuyang gained a new Soul Ring, and Su Ming warned them to spare the Sky Azure Bull Python.

• Su Ming told Zhu Jiuyang that he wanted to form a Hunt Soul team and target Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Zhu Jiuyang held an Auction featuring Soul Tools, including Communication Soul Tools, prompting major factions to negotiate over the ruins and agree to provide manpower.

• Su Ming named the Titan Giant Ape as his target and told the team not to kill the Sky Azure Bull Python.
• The group killed a ninety-thousand-year Fire Phoenix, and Zhu Jiuyang absorbed its Soul Ring to gain Rebirth in Flames.
• The team reached the Lake of Life, where Yu Yuanzhen marveled at the beauty of the forest’s dangerous core region.

Su Ming and five Titled Douluo attacked Daming at the Lake of Life after learning that Erming was absent. Daming was trapped by their combined attacks as Chen Xin prepared a giant sword to strike him.

• Daming appeared before Su Ming and the others, warned them to leave, then attacked when Yue Guan demanded to know where the Titan Giant Ape was.
• Su Ming broke Daming’s Azure Slowing Domain with his Domain of Chaos while Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, and Zhu Jiuyang released their Martial Souls and attacked.
• Su Ming searched for Erming, learned he was not there, and decided the group would take Daming instead.
• Daming fought back with attacks aimed at Yu Yuanzhen, Zhu Jiuyang, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Su Ming, while nearby ninety-thousand-year Soul Beasts fled the area.
• Su Ming evaded Daming’s descending bull horns, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei trapped Daming with their Two Poles Stillness Domain.
• Chen Xin formed a gigantic sword with Myriad Swords Returning to Origin as Daming stared at it, frozen above the Lake of Life.

Su Ming and the others killed Daming, and Su Ming absorbed his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring while Erming fought off the group sent to intercept him. Xiao Wu feared the humans would discover her identity as a transformed Soul Beast, threatening her ability to cultivate.

• Daming resisted Chen Xin’s attacks, but Chen Xin, Yu Yuanzhen, Zhu Jiuyang, and Su Ming wounded him until Su Ming killed him with Destruction power.
• Erming heard Daming’s roar and rushed back toward the Lake of Life with Xiao Wu.
• Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Chen Xin, and Yu Yuanzhen went to intercept Erming while Zhu Jiuyang and Dugu Bo guarded Su Ming.
• Su Ming absorbed Daming’s Soul Ring in two and a half hours, then learned that Erming was fighting with Xiao Wu beside him.
• Su Ming realized Xiao Wu was likely the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and offered to help capture her.
• Xiao Wu worried that her identity would be exposed and that she would lose access to human aura, which she needed to cultivate.

Su Ming captured Xiao Wu and brought her to Heavenly Forging City, where he imprisoned her and reflected on his gains from the soul hunt. After reaching the Star Luo Continent, he learned that the Star Luo Empire was inviting Shrek’s students to compete in a youth tournament.

• Su Ming used Xiao Wu as a hostage to stop Erming from attacking the Soul Masters, then escaped with her and Yue Guan’s group.
• Su Ming declared that Xiao Wu would be imprisoned in Heavenly Forging City and offered other factions the chance to compete for her; he later restrained her Soul Power and consciousness.
• Su Ming reflected on his new Soul Skills and rank sixty-four Soul Power, and decided to use the relic to encourage exploration of the seas.
• Two and a half months later, Su Ming and Mu Ye reached the Star Luo Continent without finding a suitable Sea Soul Beast.
• Sima Lanxiao invited Cai Yue Er’s Shrek delegation to the Star Luo youth Soul Master tournament, and Cai Yue Er reconsidered after hearing about the Soul Bone prizes and direct entry to the elimination rounds.
