  • Huo Yuhao explains to Xiao Wu that several people claiming to be the Shrek Seven Devils appeared in the lower realm and accused him of harming Tang San and Xiao Wu’s daughter.
  • He insists that Wang Dong’er could not be their daughter because her surname was Wang rather than Tang. This final argument enrages Xiao Wu, who reveals that Wang Dong’er was an alias used by Tang Wutong, her and Tang San’s daughter.
  • Xiao Wu attacks Huo Yuhao but deliberately restrains herself so that he does not die too easily.
  • Electrolux realizes that a divine presence once existed in Wang Dong’er’s spiritual sea, likely a protective seal left by Tang San. Its disappearance explains why she was left vulnerable after Tang San’s apparent death.
  • At the God of Destruction’s demand, Electrolux recounts Huo Yuhao’s history, including his relationships with Wang Dong’er, Wang Qiu’er, and Ju Zi.
  • The gods learn that Huo Yuhao became involved with Wang Qiu’er while dating Wang Dong’er, later reconnected with Ju Zi while Wang Dong’er was pregnant, and fathered a child with Ju Zi. That child eventually sought revenge against Wang Dong’er with the aid of Evil Soul Masters.
  • The enraged gods attack Huo Yuhao and decide to torture him collectively, with every First-Level God and God King participating.

2. Character Developments

  • Huo Yuhao: His confidence collapses as he realizes that the people he dismissed as impostors were genuinely the legendary Shrek Seven Devils and that Wang Dong’er is Tang Wutong. His attempts to rationalize the situation only worsen Xiao Wu’s anger. His past actions are exposed as selfish, emotionally irresponsible, and damaging to Wang Dong’er.
  • Xiao Wu: Initially prepared to defend her daughter and confront Huo Yuhao, she becomes furious when he denies Tang Wutong’s identity. Her restrained attack shows both her immense anger and her desire to punish rather than kill him immediately.
  • Tang Wutong/Wang Dong’er: Although absent from the scene, she becomes the emotional center of the chapter. Her suffering, betrayal, and vulnerability provoke the protective anger of nearly the entire Divine Realm.
  • Electrolux: He shifts from defending or guiding Huo Yuhao to admitting that he had been deceived by Huo Yuhao’s claims about resurrecting someone important. He now recognizes that Huo Yuhao’s apparent gratitude and determination may have been empty words.
  • The Gods: Their attitude changes from suspicion and curiosity to unified outrage. They regard Tang Wutong as a daughter and react violently to the revelation that Huo Yuhao betrayed and endangered her.

3. Significant Themes

  • Consequences of betrayal: Huo Yuhao’s romantic indecision and infidelity are judged not merely as personal failures but as actions that caused lasting harm to Wang Dong’er and her family.
  • The danger of denial and rationalization: Huo Yuhao repeatedly searches for explanations that excuse his actions, but each attempt—especially his argument about surnames—only exposes his ignorance and worsens the situation.
  • Divine justice and parental protection: The gods’ response reflects their collective affection for Tang Wutong. Their punishment is driven as much by protective family loyalty as by moral outrage.
  • Appearance versus truth: Huo Yuhao dismissed the Shrek Seven Devils because their identities seemed impossible after ten thousand years. The chapter emphasizes the danger of relying on assumptions when confronted with extraordinary circumstances.
  • The limits of redemption: Electrolux once believed Huo Yuhao could be saved because he seemed loyal and grateful, but later concludes that Huo Yuhao’s promises may have been meaningless.

  • Lin Feng takes Leng Yaozhu to Douluo 1, where she inherits the Fire God’s seat without difficulty. He then begins secluded cultivation to investigate the Heavenly Gate’s response to the Divine Realm’s immortal spirit energy.
