• The four God Kings sensed the fluctuation but could not locate or understand it, while Qian Chaoguang’s universal Authority of Light was revealed to surpass the limited laws controlled by God Realm gods.

Qian Chaoguang's Undead Divine Fire formed with eighteen authorities as thousands of Undead Legion members became fanatical believers, granting him new powers and a path toward building his faith. After securing a Life Casket and planning how to develop his abilities, he met Mo Xuan, who was preparing to practice mech operation for the upcoming Star Dou Soul Hunting Operation.

• Qian Chaoguang continued cultivating and planned to coordinate with Shrek’s allies before seeking the Sun Moon Divine Needle, a Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonball, and weapons from an arsenal beneath Mingdu.

Cai Mei'er, Xuan Zi, and Elder Song captured the Zhongli Brothers and later secured Soul Bones from three Mutated Wolf Apes, delivering both to Qian Chaoguang. Qian Chaoguang considered studying the Soul Bones for teleportation research, while Xuan Ziwen and He Caitou continued developing Qian Chaoguang’s tank design and its weapons.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion studied Mo Xuan’s mech as Shrek’s Soul Hunting group rested in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Cai Mei'er confronted the Zhongli Brothers, and she, Xuan Zi, and Elder Song quickly overwhelmed and captured the three Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos.

Qian Chaoguang reviewed the new, cheaper soul-shell research and helped assemble Shrek’s competition teams after the format officially allowed sect representatives. The chapter ended with Beibei confirming that the Tang Sect would compete, while Mu En’s failing condition remained a concern.

• Qian Chaoguang’s proposed shell design used acceleration arrays and compressed Soul Power, and He Caitou and Xuan Ziwen continued refining its capacity and materials.

• Dai Luoli recognized Wang Dong as Big Goose and learned she was a woman, then was kicked away after teasing her about sharing a dorm with Qian Chaoguang.

• Huo Yutong and the others noticed that Wang Dong and Wang Qiu'er looked alike, while Wang Dong insisted she was an only child.

• Wang Qiu'er asked why her light had disappeared, and Qian Chaoguang rebuked her for her rude manner.
• When Wang Qiu'er demanded another fight, Qian Chaoguang withdrew his martial soul, summoned his armor, and challenged her to a contest of strength.

Two months later, Qian Chaoguang discovered Mu En had only ten days before his soul collapsed and refused to accept that he must merge with the Golden Ancient Tree, proposing Lovesick Heartbreak Red as a possible cure.

• Huo Yutong’s group ate at Qian Chaoguang’s Gluttony Restaurant, where Dai Luoli and Qiu'er began integrating with the team, though Dai Luoli and Dai Huabin remained hostile.
• Qian Chaoguang led the Shrek Team through two months of group-combat training, during which He Caitou startled even Xuan Zi with a secret weapon.
• Qian Chaoguang warned the tournament participants that the Sun Moon Empire had malicious intentions and that the teams would soon depart for Mingdu.
• Qian Chaoguang’s three hundred Divine Cures failed to halt Mu En’s worsening condition, and Qian Chaoguang estimated that Mu En had ten days before needing to merge with the Golden Ancient Tree.
• Mu En accepted merging with the Golden Ancient Tree to protect Shrek, but Qian Chaoguang urged him to try the immortal herb Lovesick Heartbreak Red instead.

Qian Chaoguang revealed his secrets to Mu En, and Electrolux offered two risky ways to save him. Mu En rejected both options and shut Qian Chaoguang out, choosing to let his life end rather than use the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

• Qian Chaoguang bound Mu En with a Soul Contract and told him about Tang San's hidden contingencies, his own powers, and his connection to Electrolux.
• Electrolux manifested before Mu En and explained that he could not cure him, but offered two possible alternatives to fusion and symbiosis.

• Mu En used his power to push Qian Chaoguang outside and shut the Golden Ancient Tree door against him.

Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong traveled to Sunset Forest to find the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and save Mu En, but Qian revealed that Tang San had concealed the Poison Scripture and poisoned the forest to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Huo Yutong struggled with the collapse of her faith, then emerged from her confusion late that night with her emotions still unsettled.

• Electrolux praised Mu En's rationality, learned he would choose to eradicate undead creatures, and returned to Qian Chaoguang's Sea of Consciousness.
• Qian Chaoguang told Huo Yutong that Mu En had at most ten days left and that they were flying to Sunset Forest to seek the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong reached Sunset Forest, found the poisonous miasma, and learned that Tang San had filled the area with Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Qian Chaoguang revealed that the Poison Scripture had never been passed down and was hidden at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he told Huo Yutong that Tang San had not been the righteous figure the records described.
• Huo Yutong descended to the ground in shock, and Qian Chaoguang gave her space while Electrolux warned him to prepare for nightfall.
• Huo Yutong emerged from her confused state late at night without signs of mental instability, though her emotions remained intense.

Huo Yutong learned why Qian Chaoguang had arranged for her to join the Tang Sect and gained authority in the Undead Legion, allowing her to share its management with him. The two then entered the heart of Sunset Forest, reached the poisonous valley surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and began fighting their way down through its vines.

• Qian Chaoguang admitted that he wanted Huo Yutong protected from his future war against Tang San while keeping her ready to stand beside him.
• Electrolux connected Huo Yutong to the Undead Legion's ruling network, giving her authority just below Qian Chaoguang and responsibility for the Demi-plane's production and Soul Tool work.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong traveled deeper into Sunset Forest, where they saw poisonous miasma corroding even the bones of powerful soul beasts.
• The two crossed fields of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers and Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers to reach the edge of the valley containing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong descended into the poison clouds and cut through attacking vines with the Eight-Part Light Wheels and Huo Yutong's Dark Gold Dreadclaw.

Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and persuaded Aromatic Silk Beauty to give them Tang San’s Poison Scripture after agreeing to her test. The chapter ended as Aromatic Silk Beauty selected a medicinal herb for them to eat.

• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong escaped the poisonous vines and discovered the lush valley surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Qian Chaoguang identified Aromatic Silk Beauty and learned that it guarded Tang San’s Poison Scripture.
• Qian Chaoguang told Aromatic Silk Beauty that Tang San had become a God King, and she brought out the book for his descendants.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty required them to prove their descent and pass a test by eating a medicinal herb, warning that failure could be fatal.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong agreed to take the test, and Aromatic Silk Beauty selected an emerald-green herb with three white leaves.

Huo Yutong consumed Autumn Dew, advancing her Spiritual Power to the Vast Realm and completing her Body Martial Soul Second Awakening. After Aromatic Silk Beauty gave Qian Chaoguang a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Huo Yutong accidentally glimpsed the divine authority within him, and the chapter left her recovering from the shock with newly transformed eyes.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty gave Huo Yutong Autumn Dew, and Huo Yutong refined it to break through to the Vast Realm and complete her Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty offered Qian Chaoguang a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum after he explained that he had come to obtain the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to save someone important.
• Qian Chaoguang stored the herb instead of consuming it, explaining that it would be more useful to him later and thanking Aromatic Silk Beauty for both herbs.
• Huo Yutong used her enhanced Spiritual Eyes to look at Qian Chaoguang and glimpsed the divine authority in his flames, losing more than half her Spiritual Power as incomprehensible knowledge flooded her mind.
• Qian Chaoguang reassured Huo Yutong that he would explain what she had seen later, then showed her that her Spiritual Eyes had gained a violet pupil and that her awakening was at least Silver-grade.

Huo Yutong rejected the White Tiger lineage’s Double Pupils and forcibly restored her eyes to a single pupil, while Qian Chaoguang healed her. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Chaoguang began the second trial by challenging Infernal Delicate Apricot, whose avatar would match his strength and wield Extreme Fire.

• Huo Yutong used her Spiritual Power to merge her Double Pupils back into one, and Qian Chaoguang healed her bloody eyes and scolded her for taking such a risk.
• Huo Yutong told Qian Chaoguang she did not need the Double Pupils because having him was enough, while Fragrant Silk interrupted them and explained the next trial.
• Fragrant Silk summoned Infernal Delicate Apricot, who agreed to test the pair by having them defeat an opponent with Qian Chaoguang’s strength and Extreme Fire abilities.
• Qian Chaoguang entered Infernal Delicate Apricot’s cleared area and revealed his Ultimate Light and five-hundred-thousand-year soul rings, astonishing the immortal herbs.
• Infernal Delicate Apricot began the trial by summoning Scorching Sun Spring water into a fiery column and hurling it at Qian Chaoguang, who drew the Xuan Hui Saber.

Qian Chaoguang defeated Infernal Delicate Apricot’s Flame Xiao Wu incarnation with his Divine Wrath saber technique, but Infernal Delicate Apricot refused to accept the result and demanded a rematch. Qian Chaoguang withdrew from the trial and summoned the Undead Legion to confront her.

• Qian Chaoguang protected himself from Flame Xiao Wu’s assault with layers of Holy Guardian, then split her incarnation in two with Divine Wrath.
• Qian Chaoguang explained that Divine Wrath briefly invoked Divine War, greatly enhancing his saber intent but consuming a large amount of Power of Faith.
• Infernal Delicate Apricot claimed the trial did not count because an unknown force had interfered and demanded that Qian Chaoguang fight again using his full strength.
• Qian Chaoguang accused Infernal Delicate Apricot of playing dirty, withdrew from the examination range, and summoned three bone dragons, thirty-seven Death Knights, and eighteen Gates of the Undead.

Qian Chaoguang used the Undead Legion to overpower the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, forcing Infernal Delicate Apricot to surrender her Scorching Gel and Aromatic Silk Beauty to hand over the Poison Scripture. As Huo Yutong read the book, she concluded that Tang San had selfishly claimed the spring for his descendants, while Qian Chaoguang kept the herbs under the legion’s control.

• Qian Chaoguang sent the Undead Legion into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dragon Two and Dragon Three severed the herbs’ connection to its springs.
• Qian Chaoguang had Dragon One destroy Flame Xiao Wu and threatened Infernal Delicate Apricot until Youyou apologized on her behalf.
• Qian Chaoguang took Infernal Delicate Apricot’s Scorching Gel as compensation and demanded the Poison Scripture from Aromatic Silk Beauty.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty backed down after Qian Chaoguang displayed a Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonball and claimed to have fifteen more.
• Qian Chaoguang’s forces returned to the springs while Huo Yutong read the Poison Scripture and judged Tang San’s account of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well hypocritical.

Qian Chaoguang tested the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and descended into the Yang Spring to search for the Water Fire Dragon King's Soul Bones. He found the Fire Dragon King's remains and a God-tier Torso Bone, but a barrier blocked his way to it.

• Qian Chaoguang ordered Dragon One to guard Huo Yutong while she studied, then threatened Fragrant Silk and declared he would take the cultivation essence and bodies of intelligent immortal herbs.
• Qian Chaoguang tested the Ice Spring and Yang Spring, confirmed they were harmless to him, and jumped into the Yang Spring to search for the Fire Dragon King's remains.
• Qian Chaoguang reached the bottom of the spring, sensed a hollow structure beneath him, and dug through the high-energy sludge into a cavity inside the dragon's chest.
• Qian Chaoguang searched through the Fire Dragon King's crystalline remains and found a complete Torso Bone with two pairs of crimson bone wings inside the skull.
• Qian Chaoguang tried to approach the Fire Dragon King Torso Bone but found it enclosed by a barrier of flames and faint divine power.

Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong harvested the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, claimed the two Lovesick Heartbreak Reds, and returned to Shrek City. With Mu En’s death less than seven days away, Qian Chaoguang planned to study the flower with Electrolux and find a way to prolong his life.

• Electrolux removed and secured the Fire Dragon King’s skull, while Qian Chaoguang retrieved the Water Dragon King’s skull and torso bone from the Yin Pool.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong led the Undead Legion in collecting the immortal herbs and medicinal plants, then replanted their seeds.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong each plucked a Lovesick Heartbreak Red after declaring their devotion to one another.
• Huo Yutong bonded with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass as her soul spirit and advanced to level sixty-nine.
• Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong teleported to Shrek City, where Qian Chaoguang prepared to study the Lovesick Heartbreak Red with Electrolux before Mu En’s remaining time ran out.
