The contract gave him a fourth soul ring and raised his Soul Power to level 43, leaving Lovesick Heartbreak Red bound to him as a partner.

• Zhou Sichen’s Reigning Over the World pressured Lovesick Heartbreak Red until it manifested as an empress-like phantom and gained a trace of consciousness.

• Lovesick Heartbreak Red entered the Book of Contracts’ fourth page, and Zhou Sichen gained a fourth soul ring and advanced from Soul Power level 40 to level 43.

Zhou Sichen’s contract with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red gave it intelligence and a human form as Hong Hong, who accepted him as a friend and partner. Hong Hong took command of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, bringing its plants under her rule and leaving the place under Zhou Sichen’s control.

• Zhou Sichen learned that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red could produce a powerful Sub-Body each year and received a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring from it.

Zhou Sichen returned to Shrek with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and learned that Mu En had once been blocked from entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Realizing that Tang San’s plans and the Clear Sky Sect’s guardians could threaten his gains, Zhou Sichen resolved to grow stronger urgently.

• After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zhou Sichen returned to Shrek and went to the Sea God Pavilion to reassure Mu En.
• While Zhou Sichen was away, Dugu Xianmeng told Ye Guyi that she liked Zhou Sichen and asked Ye Guyi to help bring them together; Ye Guyi agreed while concealing her own feelings.

• Mu En told Zhou Sichen that he had crossed the poison array in Sunset Forest when he was young but had been stopped from going farther by a special force.
• Zhou Sichen realized that Tang San had likely sealed access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and worried that Niu Tian and Tai Tan could expose his secret.
• Zhou Sichen calculated that he had only six years before the events surrounding Huo Gua and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red might unfold, and he resolved to increase his strength quickly.

Zhou Sichen told Elder Mu about his Fourth Soul Ring’s yearly Sub-Bodies and the treasures he had brought back, including a cure for Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire. After Elder Xuan described encountering Scarlet King in the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhou Sichen suspected the Fierce Beast was guarding an Auspicious Beast.

• Zhou Sichen explained that his Fourth Soul Ring suppressed Plant-Type Soul Beasts and could produce one powerful Sub-Body each year, and Elder Mu asked him to give one to Xuan Zi.

• Zhou Sichen recounted his recent journey to Elder Mu while keeping the treasure ground’s connection to Tang San secret.
• Elder Xuan and Elder Song told Zhou Sichen that they had encountered Scarlet King in the Star Dou Great Forest before capturing a rare Silver English Beast for him.
• Zhou Sichen wondered whether Scarlet King had been guarding an Auspicious Beast.

After Zhou Sichen returned with a Hundred Thousand Year Fourth Soul Ring and a cure for Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire, Shrek’s leaders decided he could become a god. They launched the God Creation Plan without telling him and began planning his future soul rings.

• The elders learned that Zhou Sichen had already obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Fourth Soul Ring, making the Silver English Beast unsuitable as his Fifth Soul Ring for now.
• Zhou Sichen left the gathering by saying he was going to visit Ye Guyi, while Yan Shaozhe hoped Ma Xiaotao would win a place by his side.
• The Sea God Pavilion Council discussed Zhou Sichen’s talent, his potential to reach godhood, and the benefits he had brought Shrek, including a solution to Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire.
• The council unanimously made Zhou Sichen the sole candidate for Shrek’s God Creation Plan and planned to give him the Silver English Beast as his Fifth Soul Ring, followed by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
• Zhou Sichen remained unaware that his return had changed Shrek’s plans and set the God Creation Plan in motion.

Zhou Sichen returned to Ye Guyi’s villa, where he reunited with Ye Guyi and Dugu Xianmeng and shared news of his recent gains. After learning he had visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xianmeng believed his promise that he could help cure her poison, and the chapter ended with her tearfully asking whether there was hope.

• Zhou Sichen arrived at Ye Guyi’s villa and found Ye Guyi and Dugu Xianmeng eating together.
• Dugu Xianmeng rushed to embrace Zhou Sichen, who awkwardly looked toward Ye Guyi without returning the hug.

• Zhou Sichen told Ye Guyi and Dugu Xianmeng about his recent gains, and they were astonished by his three black Soul Rings and hundred-thousand-year red fourth Soul Ring.
• Zhou Sichen said he might be able to solve Dugu Xianmeng’s poison problem, and she guessed he had visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• After Zhou Sichen confirmed her guess, Dugu Xianmeng cried and asked if there was hope for her poison; he reassured her that there was.

Zhou Sichen gave Dugu Xianmeng a plan and pills to remove the poison afflicting her, then reconciled with Ye Guyi by explaining why he wanted to bring Xianmeng onto their side. He gave Ye Guyi a Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sub-Body, which she took to strengthen herself.

• Zhou Sichen gave Dugu Xianmeng three bottles of Hundred Treasures Detoxification Pills and explained how they would clear her poison while she condensed a Poison Pill.

• Zhou Sichen told Ye Guyi that he wanted to bind Xianmeng to their group, and he gave Ye Guyi an Immortal Grade Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sub-Body.
• Ye Guyi accepted the flower after Zhou Sichen explained that taking more Immortal Grade Herbs could harm him, then she consumed it while he stood guard.

Zhou Sichen meditated while Ye Guyi consumed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sub-Body, and he discussed postponing a trip to the Far North with Tian Meng. Ye Guyi emerged with a dramatic increase in strength and an early second pair of angel wings, suggesting her bloodline had been purified and her Martial Soul might eventually evolve.

• Zhou Sichen reflected on how his improved physical quality had raised his three Contracted Soul Beasts’ Soul Rings to twenty-five thousand years and strengthened him.
• Tian Meng urged Zhou Sichen to visit the Far North and seek a powerful Soul Ring for his Second Martial Soul, but Zhou Sichen decided to wait until after the holiday and first help Ye Guyi obtain her Sixth Soul Ring.
• Zhou Sichen encouraged Tian Meng about his feelings for the Ice Empress and discussed recruiting her, while keeping Tian Meng out when he was alone with Ye Guyi.
• After four hours in the Secret Chamber, Ye Guyi emerged and told Zhou Sichen that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sub-Body had raised her Soul Power from Level 55 to Level 60 and greatly improved her body, Spiritual Power, and potential.
• Ye Guyi revealed that she could now absorb a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Ring and that her Sacred Angel had grown a second pair of wings at Level 60, which she attributed to the Sub-Body purifying her bloodline.
• Zhou Sichen realized the Sub-Body might allow Ye Guyi’s Martial Soul to reach the level of a Six-Winged Angel, though he wondered whether her bloodline or the flower’s power explained the change.

Ye Guyi reached Level 60 after consuming a Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sub-Body, and Zhou Sichen joined her and Ma Xiaotao on the way to North Mountain for a Shrek Team gathering. The team assembled as Elder Xuan prepared to assess and coordinate its members, unaware of the recent advances made by Ye Guyi and Dugu Xianmeng.

• Elder Xuan revealed that Zhou Sichen had obtained his Fourth Soul Ring but warned everyone that its details were a top secret, prompting suspicions that it was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

• Shrek kept Zhou Sichen's abilities and Contracted Soul Beasts secret, and Xuan Zi confirmed him as captain of the Shrek Team's Main Team Members.

• Zhou Sichen told Ma Xiaotao that he had brought her a treasure that could eliminate her evil fire and benefit her cultivation.
• In the secret chamber, Zhou Sichen explained that the three Sunflower Seeds would purify her Evil Fire Phoenix into a Fire Phoenix, though she would lose the strength granted by the evil fire.
• Ma Xiaotao swallowed the seeds and began refining them, asking Zhou Sichen to stay and guard her.

• Zhou Sichen upgraded the Ever-Changing Core and sparred physically with Ye Guyi before Ma Xiaotao and Dugu Xianmeng arrived with breakfast.
• Zhou Sichen took Ye Guyi to the Sea God Pavilion, where she told Mu En she wanted an offensive or defensive Sixth Soul Skill.

• Zhou Sichen summoned Phoenix Meteor Shower while the Holy Light Dragon Turtle remained pinned in place defending itself.
