Chapter Summaries

The Federation Speaker used his overwhelming power and authority to block Dong Zian’s objections and ordered that Zhen Hua not be coerced, so the Federation would not drive Gu Chenyu away. The council then discussed concealing the ranks of Gui Yan, Gu Chenyu, and Na Nali and granting Four-Word Dou Armor to Gui Yan and Na Nali, leaving Chen Xinjie sweating after challenging the plan.

• The Federation Speaker silenced Dong Zian with his Spiritual Power, and Dong Zian submitted after learning the Speaker was a Level 99 Limit Douluo and descendant of the Xu Family.
• The Federation Speaker warned the council that Zhen Hua must not be treated forcefully because doing so could turn his student Gu Chenyu against the Federation.

• Several councilors approved giving Gui Yan and Na Nali Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Chen Xinjie questioned whether the two should receive the armor and whether Zhen Hua could forge it, and the Federation Speaker challenged his objection until Chen Xinjie began to sweat.

The Federation Speaker contacted Qiangu Dongfeng to ask about Experiment No. 1, and Qiangu revealed a lifelike artificial Huo Yuhao capable of following commands. The Federation leaders were left stunned by the breakthrough, while Dong Zian suspected the project might be meant to revive Huo Yuhao or create a weapon in his likeness.

• The Federation Speaker warned Chen Xinjie to consider the bigger picture regarding his history with Long Yeyue, and Chen Xinjie agreed.

• Dong Zian suspected the Spirit Pagoda was trying to revive Huo Yuhao or create a weapon bearing his likeness.
• The Federation Speaker praised Qiangu Dongfeng and said the Spirit Pagoda's research had exceeded expectations.

Qiangu Dongfeng revealed that the Spirit Pagoda planned to build a body for an AI based on Huo Yuhao, and the Federation Speaker accepted the project while demanding faster progress on synthetic Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. The chapter left the Spirit Pagoda pressed for resources and time, with the Federation established as the continent’s dominant power.

• Qiangu Dongfeng told the Federation Council that the Spirit Pagoda had created an AI based on Huo Yuhao’s legacy and proposed giving it a Four-Word Dou Armor body.
• The Federation Speaker praised the AI project and accepted the Spirit Pagoda’s offer, then asked about the synthetic Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones project.
• Qiangu Dongfeng reported that the project might need ten years, citing difficulties simulating a soul beast’s Life Origin Imprint and obtaining sufficient resources.
• The Federation Speaker gave Qiangu Dongfeng five years to produce synthetic Soul Bones for practical combat testing.
• Qiangu Dongfeng explained that the Spirit Pagoda controlled about thirty percent of visible resources, while Shrek’s allies held about twenty percent and the Federation controlled the rest.

The Federation Speaker refused Qiangu Dongfeng’s request for more resources but promised the Spirit Pagoda a share of Shrek Academy’s assets after its destruction. After dismissing Qiangu Dongfeng, the Speaker turned to the Federation’s Deep Space Project and asked about the Cosmic Warship’s progress.

• The Federation Speaker rejected Qiangu Dongfeng’s request for additional investment in the synthetic Soul Bone project.
• The Federation Speaker announced that Shrek Academy and the old order it represented would be erased within roughly five years, and promised the Spirit Pagoda a portion of Shrek’s resources in return for its contributions.
• Qiangu Dongfeng enthusiastically accepted the terms, while Chen Xinjie remained silent rather than oppose the Speaker.
• The Deputy Speaker cut off Qiangu Dongfeng’s communication, and Huo Yuhao’s artificial intelligence briefly showed killing intent before disappearing unnoticed.
• The Federation Speaker asked Elder Kong how far construction of the Cosmic Warship had progressed, and Elder Kong explained that the project remained technically complex after more than ten thousand years of development.

The Federation Speaker urged Elder Kong to accelerate the Cosmic Warship project, fearing that the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and other powerful forces could threaten the Federation. The meeting ended with plans to approach the Body Sect and scrutinize Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy’s challenge to Shrek, while the Speaker privately wondered whether the Federation could survive the coming crisis.

• The Federation Speaker warned that the Tang Sect might summon Sea God Tang San’s power and that Green Skull’s attacks on the East Continent had made the situation critical.
• He ordered Elder Kong to speed up the Cosmic Warship project, and Elder Kong pledged to marshal the Federal Research Institute’s resources and personally oversee development.
• After hearing that the West Continent remained stable and was home to the Body Sect and powerful allies, the Federation Speaker decided to seek a meeting with the Body Sect’s Sect Master.
• The Federation Speaker scheduled a broadcast for the next day to watch Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy challenge Shrek Academy.
• After the meeting adjourned, the Federation Speaker remained alone, considered the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, Green Skull, and the Abyss Plane, and wondered whether the Sun Moon Federation could endure.

Lu Jun and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy group arrived in Shrek City, where they remained wary of the danger surrounding them. At Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue reported the deaths of three powerful allies, leaving Yun Ming to suspect that the Federation’s strongest forces had intervened.

• Lu Jun and the students marveled at Shrek City’s grand station as Wu Zhangkong led them onward, while Guan Yue reassured them that they were safe for the moment.

Yun Ming and Long Yeyue discussed the mysterious deaths of three Limit Douluos and the growing threat surrounding Shrek Academy. At the Forging Association, Dong Zian and Qiangu Qingfeng accused Zhen Hua of secretly supplying Shrek with unreported Four-Word Dou Armors, and Zhen Hua denied knowing anything about it.

• Long Yeyue told Yun Ming that Ha Luosa had personally killed Tang Zhong, Ning Qingcheng, and Yu Yuanzu, though neither could explain how he had defeated them so quickly.

• Zhen Hua denied the accusation and insisted that all his forging work had followed proper procedures and been reported to the Federation.

Dong Zian and Qiangu Qingfeng searched Zhen Hua’s office for evidence of his suspected dealings with Shrek but found nothing, then warned him to confess and step down. After they left, Zhen Hua told Mu Ye that the Federation had begun to suspect him, and Mu Ye urged him to flee to the West Continent for protection.

• Dong Zian and Qiangu Qingfeng searched Zhen Hua’s office and found no evidence linking him to Shrek or unregistered forging.

• Zhen Hua told Mu Ye that the Federation had begun to suspect him, and Mu Ye angrily rebuked him for secretly forging Four-Word Dou Armor for Shrek.
• Mu Ye urged Zhen Hua to flee with him to the West Continent and seek protection from the Body Sect, but Zhen Hua doubted the Sect Master would help a former member like Mu Ye.

Zhen Hua explained to Mu Ye that Shrek Academy had earned his support by treating him with respect, but he considered surrendering his God Craftsman position to Gu Chenyu to escape the Federation Speaker’s threat. The next morning, Wu Zhangkong led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team to Shrek Academy and loudly taunted its students into accepting a challenge.

• Zhen Hua told Mu Ye that Shrek Academy respected him as a person, unlike the Federation, which treated him as a tool for producing Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Mu Ye urged Zhen Hua to accept Dong Zian’s proposal and pass his God Craftsman abilities and position to Gu Chenyu, and Zhen Hua reluctantly considered it.
• The next morning, Wu Zhangkong, Long Bing, Guan Yue, and seven disciples set out for Shrek Academy.
• At Shrek Academy’s gates, Wu Zhangkong used a loudspeaker to announce that his thirteen-year-old team had come to challenge the academy’s strongest students under twenty and expose the gap between them.
• Lu Jun recognized Wu Zhangkong’s taunt as a repeat of the challenge from the original story.

• Long Bing defended Wu Zhangkong and accused Shrek of driving him away, prompting Yun Ming to rebuke her and claim Wu Zhangkong had left for her sake.
