• The informant warned Yuwen Dali that Tang Wulin’s teacher, Wu Zhangkong, was a powerful Soul Emperor and Battle Armor Master.
• Tang Wulin gave Xie Xie and the others camouflage vests reinforced with Cloud Titanium Alloy and Thousand Refined Metal as they boarded the train.

Tang Wulin joked with Gu Yue, Mu Xi, and Ouyang Zixin while Evil Soul Masters followed the students on the train and planned a later attack. Yuwen Dali delayed the assault until the students returned to Eastsea Academy, and Wu Zhangkong sensed danger but found no immediate threat.

• Wu Zhangkong felt a chill and searched the train with Purple Demon Eyes, while Ye Yingluo and Ye Yingrong approached and asked what was wrong.

• Tang Wulin arrived as promised, saw Ouyang Zixin being taken, and shouted for Wu Zhangkong to save him.
• Gu Yue ordered Xiong Jun to stop anyone who tried to take Tang Wulin, while Wu Zhangkong and other teachers began responding to the disturbance.

Yuwen Dali held off Eastsea Academy while the Holy Spirit Cult operatives escaped with Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin. The captives arrived at the cult’s Eastern Continent branch, where an Evil Soul Master was about to whip Mu Xi until an unknown newcomer ordered him to stop.

• Yuwen Dali blocked Wu Zhangkong’s attack and ordered the Evil Soul Masters to take Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin away while he covered their retreat.

• Yuwen Dali arrived after laying false trails, and Mu Xi taunted him until he revealed his identity as an Evil Soul Master.

• Yuwen Dali ordered his followers outside, then refused to release Ouyang Zixin and ordered them to form two lines.
• Yuwen Dali assigned one Evil Soul Master to Mu Xi, and the man approached her and began removing his armor.

Di Tian discovered that Yuwen Dali’s mission had also brought Tang Wulin’s first love, Ouyang Zixin, into danger, and imagined how the fallout might affect Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. After he accidentally cut in front of the Evil Soul Master queue, Yuwen Dali hurried him into a side room.

• Yuwen Dali apologized to Mu Xi and explained that cult members were expected to obey their superiors.
• Di Tian arrived and saw that Ouyang Zixin had been brought in alongside Mu Xi.
• Di Tian speculated that Ouyang Zixin’s ordeal could lead Xu Xiaoyu to abandon her and Tang Wulin to comfort her, changing his relationship with Gu Yue.
• Di Tian wandered to the front of the Evil Soul Master queue, and Yuwen Dali slapped a protesting member and sent him to the back.
• Yuwen Dali led Di Tian into a quiet side room and wondered why he had returned.

Yuwen Dali learned that Di Tian had no objection to his actions and was told to return the kidnapped Ouyang Zixin intact within three to five days. In Eastsea City, Mu Xi’s parents struggled to get help after her abduction, and Yuan Bao’er’s desperate offer to Zhen Hua ended with his emphatic refusal.

• Di Tian told Yuwen Dali to return the captives unharmed, and Yuwen Dali chose to send them back in three days.

• Yuan Bao’er confronted the Federation liaison, who said two of the Eighteen War Gods had been sent to search for the kidnappers.
• Yuan Bao’er called Zhen Hua and begged him to help save Mu Xi, but he reassured her that the kidnappers would likely keep Mu Xi safe for now.
• Yuan Bao’er offered to take care of Zhen Hua if he still resented her rejecting his proposal, and he urgently told her not to come looking for him.

Zhen Hua searched for Mu Xi while Di Tian exposed his conflicted feelings about Yuan Bao'er and Mu Chen, then forced him and Mu Ye back to work. Meanwhile, Qian Gu Dong Feng worried that the plot to bomb Shrek Academy had been discovered after Xu Sheng Qun was killed, and suspected Zang Xin might have been framed.

• Yuan Bao'er asked Zhen Hua to help find Mu Xi, and Zhen Hua promised to search and give her an answer in three days.
• Di Tian accused Zhen Hua of harboring resentment toward Mu Chen and complicated feelings about Mu Xi, leaving Zhen Hua too exhausted to respond.
• Di Tian tossed the forged Heaven Forged Metal to Mu Ye, and Zhen Hua resumed forging rather than argue with him.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng paced in his Spirit Pagoda office, fearing that traces of his plan with the Holy Spirit Cult and Federal Parliament members to bomb Shrek Academy had been uncovered.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng linked Xu Sheng Qun's death to a Limit Douluo's sword strike and considered Zang Xin a possible suspect, though he recognized the evidence could be a frame-up.

Qian Gu Dong Feng feared that the Tang Sect had begun investigating the Spirit Pagoda’s plan to steal a Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, but decided to accelerate it rather than risk delay. Leng Yaozhu then stormed into his office and confronted him.

• Qian Gu Dong Feng reasoned that the Tang Sect might have killed Xu Sheng Qun to test whether the Spirit Pagoda was involved in stealing a Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and plotting to bomb Shrek Academy.
• Han Tianyi reported that he had found no suspicious activity around the Mingdu Spirit Transfer Pagoda Branch, the Forging Masters Association, the God of War Hall, or Zang Xin.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng told Han Tianyi that his actions served the Spirit Pagoda and that its era of being suppressed by Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had to end.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng decided to speed up the theft and made dozens of calls, ordering his associates to overcome difficulties and offering his family's private assets as funding.
• Leng Yaozhu kicked open Qian Gu Dong Feng's office door, slammed her hands on his desk, and confronted him by name.

Qian Gu Dong Feng argued with Leng Yaozhu over secret Spirit Pagoda orders, then accelerated his plan to bomb Shrek Academy. Bi Ji later showed Di Tian and the others how Xu Xiaoyu broke up with Ouyang Zixin, with Tang Wulin waiting nearby.

• Leng Yaozhu confronted Qian Gu Dong Feng for keeping Spirit Pagoda transfers and resource allocations from her, and he accused her of favoring Yun Ming and Shrek Academy.
• Leng Yaozhu threatened to rally the other families against Qian Gu Dong Feng, then left after saying she had chosen Yun Ming over him.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng ordered a hidden aide to implement his plan immediately, accelerating the bombing of Shrek Academy.
• Bi Ji showed Di Tian, the Demon Empress, Lan Fozi, Tai Tan, and Bing Ji a memory scene and explained that Mu Xi had moved away with her family after the attack.
• Bi Ji explained that Xu Xiaoyu chose to break up with Ouyang Zixin after learning what had happened to her, while Tang Wulin watched outside Ouyang Zixin's rented room.

Tang Wulin attacked Xu Xiaoyu after hearing him break up with Ouyang Zixin, but Ouyang Zixin's voice and Tang San's divine consciousness suppressed his murderous rage. Di Tian noticed the Sea God Trident Symbol flare when Ouyang Zixin accepted Tang Wulin's confession and went to Eastsea City, while Tang Wulin argued with Old Tang about his relationship with her and Gu Yue.

• Xu Xiaoyu ended his relationship with Ouyang Zixin, and Tang Wulin confronted him outside her door.
• Tang Wulin lost control and struck Xu Xiaoyu with his Golden Dragon Claw, leaving him badly wounded before Ouyang Zixin's voice helped restrain him.
• Tang Wulin comforted Ouyang Zixin, and she accepted his confession; Di Tian noticed the Sea God Trident Symbol shine at that moment.
• Di Tian left for Eastsea City after realizing Tang Wulin had confessed to Ouyang Zixin nearly a year earlier than in the original timeline.
• Old Tang objected to Tang Wulin's relationship with Ouyang Zixin and claimed Gu Yue was destined to be his partner.
• Tang Wulin questioned Old Tang's certainty about Gu Yue's feelings and worried that their different affiliations would separate them after school.

Tang San took control of Tang Wulin after raging at his son’s defense of Ouyang Zixin, then secretly implanted a subtle influence on his thoughts about love. He brought Ouyang Zixin to a small grove and declared that he would finish her off, leaving her just as she felt a piercing sensation.

• Tang Wulin argued that Ouyang Zixin’s past did not matter and compared her to Xiao Wu, infuriating Tang San.
• Tang San knocked Tang Wulin unconscious with Three Great Rages and took control of his body.
• Tang San wrote a suicide note in Ouyang Zixin’s name and implanted a god-level Spiritual Power imprint in Tang Wulin’s mind.
• Tang San, controlling Tang Wulin, brought Ouyang Zixin to a small grove and said he would finish her off.
• Ouyang Zixin felt as though her body had been pierced.

Tang San killed Ouyang Zixin, while Di Tian secretly watched and preserved evidence of the murder. A year later, Tang Wulin had recovered from his grief and set out for Shrek Academy with Gu Yue, as Di Tian’s allies gained powerful new equipment and Zi Ji reported on Gu Yue’s progress.

• Tang San killed Ouyang Zixin with Blue Silver Grass and erased her remains, unaware that Di Tian’s group had recorded the murder.
• Di Tian watched Gu Yue meditate while Xiong Jun guarded her, and he anticipated the long separation the guard would need to keep from her.
• Ouyang Zixin remained missing, Tang Wulin recovered from his grief under Tang San’s Mental Imprint, and he left for Shrek Academy with Gu Yue and Wu Zhangkong.
• Zhen Hua and Mu Ye forged three sets of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha for Tai Tan, Bing Ji, and Lan Fozi, whose confidence in their new strength varied.
• Zi Ji told Di Tian that Gu Yue missed Shrek Academy’s entrance assessment, rejected an elder’s attempt to recruit her, and later watched Tang Wulin reach the three-ring Soul Elder realm and become a Five-Star Grandmaster-level Forging Master.

Di Tian heard reports from Zi Ji and Bi Ji about Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, then called Tai Tan, Bing Ji, and Lan Fozi to discuss Xue Ling’s plan to redirect the Far North Land’s Earth Veins. The chapter ended with Di Tian explaining that Xue Ling’s progress toward burying the Northern Legion encampment in a snow disaster was slow.

• Zi Ji told Di Tian that Gu Yue and her group had become Work-Study Students and later advanced to class officer positions at Shrek Academy.
• Bi Ji told Di Tian that Gu Yue had thwarted her attempts to interfere with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin’s relationship, and she suspected Tang Wulin contained something connected to the Golden Dragon King.
• Di Tian told Bi Ji not to target Tang Wulin and said Gu Yue had strayed from her path; Bi Ji agreed to inform Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit about the Lord’s situation and try to persuade Xiong Jun.
• Di Tian told Zi Ji that Yuanen Yehui would be a more useful informant about Gu Yue and Tang Wulin than the Spirit Pagoda’s informants.
• Di Tian summoned Tai Tan, Bing Ji, and Lan Fozi, then explained that Xue Ling was redirecting the Far North Land’s Earth Veins to create a snow disaster against the Northern Legion, but was making slow progress.

Di Tian assigned Lan Fozi to deliver a strategic map and his instructions to the Sea Princess and the sea soul beast leaders. His plan called for sea beasts to use natural disasters and coordinated attacks to cripple the Three Continents’ naval forces, draw out human legions, and create openings for land beast tides.

• Tai Tan and Bing Ji obeyed Di Tian’s command and hurried back to the Far North Land to help Xue Ling organize soul beast forces and alter the Earth Veins.
• Di Tian gave Lan Fozi a map detailing the Three Continents’ coastlines and strategic targets, and she recognized it as a plan for a sea soul beast tide.
• Di Tian noticed Lan Fozi’s hesitation and decided not to put her in charge of the sea campaign.
• Di Tian told Lan Fozi to show the map to the Sea Soul Beast Kings and clan patriarchs and explain the campaign’s direction to the Sea Princess.
• Di Tian ordered the sea soul beasts to use tsunamis, typhoons, and successive surprise attacks to destroy naval forces, strike coastal targets, and draw human Soul Guidance Legions away from their defenses.
• Lan Fozi felt relieved that she only had to deliver the plan and that Di Tian’s strategy aimed to limit sea soul beast casualties.

Di Tian assigned Lan Fozi, Bi Ji, and the Ten Thousand Demons King roles in preparing the sea and Star Dou Great Forest for war against humanity. He planned to breach Star Dou Fortress, then draw the decisive battle away from the forest and into a human city.

• Lan Fozi agreed to map ocean currents and monsoons for a sea calamity and left to begin her mission, while the Demon Empress went after her.
• Di Tian explained that the Lake of Life could power a forest-wide life-force barrier strong enough to resist humanity’s weapons once its three Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells were removed.
• Di Tian assigned Bi Ji and the Ten Thousand Demons King to turn the Star Dou Great Forest into a war machine using its life force, plant Soul Beasts, and Space Channels.
• Bi Ji asked whether Di Tian would fight humanity’s top Soul Masters inside the forest, and he said he would leave after breaking through Star Dou Fortress to avoid damaging the forest.
• Bi Ji and Zi Ji left to carry out their preparations and persuade their former colleagues to join the effort.

Di Tian built a network of Space Channels across the Star Dou Great Forest and prepared its soul beasts for a grand drill against human intruders. A seven-person team from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy entered the forest for their graduation assessment, unaware that the drill was beginning.

• Di Tian returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and began extending the existing Space Channels from the Lake of Life.
• Di Tian summoned the leaders of soul beast territories and told them that human visitors who entered their lands should not be allowed to leave alive.
• Di Tian completed the preliminary network of Space Channels and sent his call across the forest, prompting millions of soul beasts to answer.
• Seven Five Rings Soul Kings and One-Word Battle Armor Masters from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy entered the forest for a seven-day graduation assessment.
• The team's support soul master warned that her All-Knowing Treasure Mirror sensed danger and suggested retreating, but the defensive Soul King dismissed her concerns.
