Leng Yaozhu forced the Holy Spirit Cult’s leaders to surrender and ordered Na Nali to take Leng Yulai and Xia Yi to free Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and capture Cun Ying. The chapter ended with Na Nali accepting the task while Xia Yi and Lan Fozi nervously reacted to Leng Yaozhu’s anger.

• Mu Xi saw Lan Fozi holding Xia Yi’s hand and struggled to accept that Xia Yi had chosen someone she had met much later.

After Xia Yi revealed that Leng Yaozhu had destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult, Ya Li arrived at the Blacksmith Association as a newly awakened Limit Douluo and vowed to seek revenge on Ghost Emperor. Xia Yi suspected Ya Li’s breakthrough might be connected to her long-held desire to have a child, leaving those around him stunned by the possibility.

• Cao Dezhi and Long Yeyue worried that Zhen Hua’s return and Xia Yi’s rescue of him could disrupt their plans for rebuilding Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
• At the Blacksmith Association, Xia Yi told visiting dignitaries that Leng Yaozhu and her sister had destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult and brought its major criminals to Shrek City.
• Ya Li appeared with the aura of a Limit Douluo, questioned Xia Yi about the captured Evil Spirit Masters, and said she would seek revenge on Ghost Emperor herself.
• Xia Yi warned Ya Li that Leng Yaozhu would decide the captives’ fate, but Ya Li left to visit Zhen Hua and then find Leng Yaozhu.
• Xia Yi told Lan Fozi that Ya Li’s breakthrough might stem from finally confronting her grief over never having a child, prompting shocked speculation among the onlookers.

After Zhen Hua recovered from captivity, he refused to teach Xia Yi the Heaven Forging Method because he feared Xia Yi’s connection to the Soul Beasts could endanger humanity. He left Tang Wulin a chance to become his successor if the Tang Sect explained its role in Zhen Hua’s kidnapping, while privately hoping to train Mu Xi as a Divine Craftsman.

• Ya Li examined Zhen Hua and confirmed he needed only time to recuperate, and Mu Xi embraced him with relief.
• Mu Chen told Zhen Hua that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had been destroyed, the Abyssal Plane had fallen, and the Spirit Pagoda had returned Soul Beasts and Spirit Souls to the Soul Beasts.
• Zhen Hua gave Mu Xi a piece of Gold-Water Interfusion as thanks for Xia Yi’s rescue, and Mu Xi realized he did not intend to pass the Heaven Forging Method to Xia Yi.
• Mu Xi accused Mu Chen of manipulating Zhen Hua into choosing Tang Wulin as his successor, then ran out when Zhen Hua stood by his decision.
• Zhen Hua told Ya Li he would not teach Xia Yi the Heaven Forging Method because he suspected Xia Yi’s Battle Armor was connected to the Soul Beasts, but said Xia Yi could become a Divine Craftsman on his own.
• Zhen Hua offered Tang Wulin a chance to learn the method if the Tang Sect gave him a reasonable explanation for his kidnapping, while saying Mu Xi could also become his successor.

Mu Chen stopped Mu Xi from confronting him and defended his plan to secure the Heaven Forging Method for Tang Wulin rather than Xia Yi. Mu Xi struggled to face Xia Yi with the Gold-Water Interfusion, until Xia Yi appeared behind her.

• Mu Chen grabbed Mu Xi and explained that Zhen Hua could not pass the Heaven Forging Method to Xia Yi because he might forge armor for Soul Beasts.
• Mu Xi accused Mu Chen of putting Tang Wulin above the Blacksmith Association and warned that Tang Wulin might sacrifice it for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
• Mu Chen admitted Tang Wulin remained a risk but argued Xia Yi would also choose Heavenly Phoenix Douluo over the Blacksmith Association.
• Mu Chen gave Mu Xi Zhen Hua's Gold-Water Interfusion and left, telling her to give it to Xia Yi or return it to Zhen Hua.
• Mu Xi hesitated outside the sitting room, unable to face Xia Yi after all he had done for her and the Blacksmith Association.
• Xia Yi appeared behind Mu Xi and startled her as she hid the Gold-Water Interfusion behind her back.

Xia Yi accepted Gold-Water Interfusion and heard from Mu Xi why Zhen Hua had refused to teach him the Heaven Forging Method. He explained that he had never truly wanted Zhen Hua’s instruction, leaving Mu Xi surprised and Xia Yi still at odds with the Blacksmith Association’s way of handling the matter.

• Mu Xi hesitated to give Xia Yi Gold-Water Interfusion, but Xia Yi noticed it and asked her to find somewhere private to talk.
• Xia Yi reassured the angry Lan Fozi and followed Mu Xi to her bedroom, where he noticed a photograph of himself forging in Eastsea City.
• Mu Xi explained that Zhen Hua had refused to teach Xia Yi and offered to steal Zhen Hua’s forging insights or install surveillance in his forge.
• Xia Yi told Mu Xi he had only gone along with Leng Yaozhu’s plan for her sake and had never personally intended to learn the Heaven Forging Method.
• Xia Yi said he was somewhat displeased that Zhen Hua had made Mu Xi deliver the refusal, unless Zhen Hua had done it to create an opportunity for her.

Xia Yi and Mu Xi discussed the old words Gu Yue had told her and the reason their relationship had ended, while Mu Xi tried to accept that he owed her no explanation. The chapter left Xia Yi offering to tell her the reason as Mu Xi refused to ask, unwilling to burden him further.

• Ya Li told Zhen Hua that Xia Yi had understood his intentions and warned that the Blacksmith Association might regret its decision.
• Xia Yi blocked Ya Li’s spiritual perception, and he joked to Lan Fozi that someone might be afraid he would blame Mu Xi.
• Mu Xi apologized for the Blacksmith Association’s wrongdoing, but Xia Yi told her that he was the one who should apologize because of what had happened to her.
• Xia Yi said Gu Yue’s past words to Mu Xi had not been wrong, shattering Mu Xi’s hope that she had misunderstood why she gave him up.
• Xia Yi asked whether Mu Xi wanted to know the reason, but she said she did not want to trouble him because he owed her nothing.

Xia Yi explained to Mu Xi that he had saved and later used her while hiding his identity as a transformed Soul Beast, and she forgave him after understanding his guilt and motives. Mu Xi then insisted he compensate her by staying with her, while Lan Fozi left them alone.

• Xia Yi told Mu Xi that saving her in Eastsea City was his greatest regret because he had secretly been using her to gather human technology and knowledge for Soul Beasts.
• Xia Yi revealed that he and Gu Yue were transformed Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Forest, and explained that he had saved Mu Xi instinctively despite his hostility toward humans.

• Mu Xi threatened to expose Xia Yi's identity, but he said Leng Yaozhu already knew and that Soul Beasts had a new path forward.
• Mu Xi demanded compensation and declared that Xia Yi would not leave her room easily; Lan Fozi left and privately urged him to settle things with Mu Xi before she returned.

Yuan Bao'er learned why Xia Yi had brought Lan Fozi into his first night with Mu Xi and stopped blaming him, while Leng Yaozhu summoned Xia Yi over information concerning the Holy Spirit Cult Leader and the Demon Empress. Xia Yi, Mu Xi, and Lan Fozi left for Shrek City, bound for the Spirit Pagoda and the news about Lan Fozi’s mother.

• Xia Yi, Mu Xi, and Lan Fozi left the Blacksmith Association and flew toward Shrek Academy’s Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

Xia Yi and Lan Fozi brought Mu Xi to Leng Yaozhu, where Ya Li again asked for Ghost Emperor and Dark Blood Demon.

• Lan Fozi explained that her mother had abandoned becoming a god through slaughter after meeting Xia Yi, and Xia Yi promised to help remove the Asura Divine Power and retrieve the Whale Pearl.

Xia Yi brought Leng Yaozhu, Lan Fozi, and Mu Xi into his Spiritual World, where the youth taught them new techniques and offered guidance. The revelations about Leng Yulai’s hidden strength left Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu furious, and they vowed to discipline her when they returned.

• Leng Yaozhu learned that the medicine being researched was meant to help the Demon Empress become a god through slaughter, so she agreed to end the research and destroy its results.
• Xia Yi took Leng Yaozhu, Lan Fozi, and Mu Xi into the Bronze Space and introduced them to the youth, who explained that creating a God Realm required enormous energy.
• The youth gave Leng Yaozhu a drop of Heavenly Phoenix True Fire that would let her cultivate the Immortal Path Chapter and become a god without the Douluo Plane suppressing her.
• The youth taught Lan Fozi the Sea Quelling Staff Technique, removed the Asura Divine Power from her Eight-Colored Pearl, and instructed her to guard the ocean impartially.
• The youth gave Mu Xi a fragment for cultivating Samadhi True Fire and offered to teach her personally because her foundation was weak.
• The youth revealed that Leng Yulai had already reached the second-rank Divine Origin Realm before leaving the Bronze Space, prompting Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu to accuse her of pretending to be weak and plan to punish her.

• Ya Li found no cause for the sisters’ condition and went to find Long Yeyue to learn what happened during the training.

Ya Li pressed Long Yeyue to reveal how Shrek Academy had used her life force in its God-Making plan for Yun Ming.
