Chapter Summaries

An Ping and Gu Yuena discovered that Xu Xiaoyan was secretly following Lin Qing on a Tang Sect mission. After confirming the Tang Sect’s involvement, An Ping concluded that Lin Qing’s memory loss was likely both a coincidence and a test of their knowledge and loyalties.

• Lin Qing stopped An Ping and Gu Yuena from following him and went to check on his company.
• An Ping found Xu Xiaoyan watching Lin Qing and brought her with Gu Yuena to their suite.
• Xu Xiaoyan admitted she was following Lin Qing for a confidential Tang Sect mission, and An Ping let her leave.
• An Ping explained that the incident likely tested whether they had uncovered the Tang Sect’s secret and whether Xu Xiaoyan was loyal to the Tang Sect.

An Ping and Gu Yuena postponed their plan to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and agreed to avoid provoking the Tang Sect while they watched over Lin Qing. After Lin Qing was transferred back to Aolai City, An Ping offered him a place to stay, and they arranged to meet.

• An Ping explained that the Tang Sect and Shrek had tested them rather than attacked, and he and Gu Yuena decided not to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye until tensions eased.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena agreed not to intervene openly for Lin Qing, since action might draw the Tang Sect's suspicion and endanger him further.
• An Ping noticed that Tang Sect members with at least six rings had been following them, and Gu Yuena lost interest in shopping.
• Lin Qing told An Ping that his company was transferring him back to Aolai City after delays at work.
• An Ping offered Lin Qing his empty house in Aolai City and arranged to meet him with Gu Yuena at a restaurant near the train station.

An Ping and Gu Yuena saw Lin Qing off at the train station after giving him a house key, Mecha Design books, and a Meditation Method An Ping had created. There, they unexpectedly met Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan, and Tang Wulin vowed that he would defeat them next time.

• An Ping gave Lin Qing a Storage Soul Tool containing his house key and Mecha Design books, then told him to try the Meditation Method he had developed himself.

• Xu Xiaoyan apologized to Gu Yuena for what had happened before, and Gu Yuena reassured her and encouraged her to keep working hard at the academy.
• Tang Wulin declared that he and his companions would not lose next time, Gu Yuena calmly replied that they would see, and Xu Xiaoyan hurried after Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

Xu Xiaoyan withdrew from Shrek Academy after Tang Wulin and Xie Xie urged her to cut ties with An Ping and Gu Yuena. An Ping secured her admission to Sun Moon Academy, and she revealed that she had also left the Tang Sect after it pressed her to report on her friends.

• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie warned Xu Xiaoyan that her friendship with An Ping and Gu Yuena could lead to trouble at Shrek Academy.
• Xu Xiaoyan announced that she was withdrawing from Shrek Academy and left the station to find An Ping and Gu Yuena.
• Tang Wulin informed Wu Changkong of Xu Xiaoyan's decision, and Wu Changkong said he understood.
• Xu Xiaoyan reunited with Gu Yuena and asked whether she could still attend Sun Moon Academy; An Ping called Ling Hongchen, who agreed to enroll her.
• Xu Xiaoyan told An Ping and Gu Yuena that she had already withdrawn from the Tang Sect after it repeatedly asked her to report on them.

An Ping and Gu Yuena left Heaven Dou City to visit the Star Dou Forest, slipping through Star Dou Fortress's barrier with An Ping's Teleportation Technique. Di Tian welcomed Gu Yuena, and they prepared to return to the Lake of Life.

• After Ling Hongchen called, Xu Xiaoyan reluctantly boarded a train to Sun Moon Academy, and Gu Yuena asked An Ping when they would leave Heaven Dou City.
• An Ping and Gu Yuena checked out of their hotel and used perception-altering magic and teleportation to evade the Tang Sect's surveillance and reach Star Dou Fortress.
• An Ping analyzed the fortress barrier and teleported himself and Gu Yuena directly into the Star Dou Forest.
• Di Tian arrived and knelt before Gu Yuena, showing no hostility toward An Ping.
• Gu Yuena told Di Tian they had come to see how everyone was doing and said they would return to the Lake of Life.

An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Di Tian traveled on foot through the Star Dou Great Forest to the Lake of Life, where Di Tian reported his discoveries. An Ping explained the secrets behind several strange locations and revealed that he had caused the bell-ringing anomaly near Skysea City during his breakthrough.

• An Ping persuaded Gu Yuena and Di Tian to walk through the Star Dou Great Forest to the Lake of Life, and Di Tian warned An Ping not to betray Gu Yuena.
• Di Tian reported that the Dragon Clan Graveyard was controlled by the Tang Sect, a dangerous sea near North Sea City held destruction and life energy, and Yun Ming had investigated twelve bell rings heard across Douluo Star.
• An Ping told Gu Yuena and Di Tian that the North Sea City energy came from the deaths of the God of Life and the God of Destruction, and Gu Yuena explained that An Ping was not from the God Realm.
• An Ping revealed that Shrek Academy used the island near North Sea City as a Training Ground after the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils survived there as souls.
• An Ping admitted that he caused the twelve bell rings near Skysea City while breaking through, and Gu Yuena wondered why so many discoveries were connected to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Di Tian discussed reaching the Dragon Tomb in a Small World controlled by the Tang Sect and how to stabilize a passage when it neared Douluo Star. An Ping arranged for Di Tian to gather materials for both a Space Stabilizer and a Small Plane, then hinted to Gu Yuena that he had requested extra materials because Di Tian was willing to provide them.

• Di Tian told Gu Yuena that the Small World containing the Dragon Tomb would draw close to Douluo Star within a year, allowing him and the other Fierce Beasts to open a passage, though keeping it stable would require their combined strength.
• An Ping offered to stabilize the passage with materials, and Gu Yuena guessed he meant to use Plane Debris; An Ping said that would be wasteful and assured her he would save it for constructing a Small Plane.
• Di Tian explained that the other Fierce Beasts were patrolling against Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts, and An Ping declined to call them back, especially avoiding a meeting with Myriad Demon King.
• An Ping wrote Di Tian a list of materials for both a Space Stabilizer and the Shaman Courtyard, and Di Tian agreed to gather them despite their cost.
• Di Tian said he lacked Space Energy Crystals, but An Ping said he could make them himself; after Di Tian left to collect the materials, An Ping told Gu Yuena the list included supplies for constructing a Small Plane.

An Ping received materials from Di Tian but postponed constructing a plane until he could find a suitable vessel core in the Dragon Tomb. He and Gu Yuena parted ways after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, and An Ping returned to his island to begin producing Space Energy Crystals.

• Gu Yuena teased An Ping for calling Dragon Clan members hoarders, and Di Tian offered his treasury if the materials could help Soul Beasts survive and reproduce.
• Di Tian gave An Ping the materials, but An Ping decided to wait until after the trip to the Dragon Tomb before choosing a vessel core for the plane.
• An Ping planned to research on his island while Gu Yuena went to Sun Moon Academy to visit Xu Xiaoyan.
• After returning to Heaven Dou City, An Ping and Gu Yuena noticed Tang Sect surveillance, bought separate tickets, and parted ways for the first time.
• An Ping teleported to his island, deployed his Portable Alchemy Laboratory, and started producing Space Energy Crystals, drawing in a tide of spatial elements.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie accepted a Shrek Academy mission seeking clues about a mysterious building and told Yun Ming about its phantom appearing over Eastsea City during a typhoon years earlier. Yun Ming rewarded them and learned that Xu Xiaoyan had withdrawn from the academy.

• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie spotted a high-reward mission asking for information about a mysterious building Shrek Academy had been unable to investigate.
• Xie Xie recognized the building as the phantom that had appeared over Eastsea City during a typhoon when they were first-years.
• The mission manager transferred Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to Sea God Island, where Yun Ming asked them what they knew.
• Xie Xie told Yun Ming the phantom had lasted nearly seven days and looked the same from anywhere in Eastsea City, while Tang Wulin said he had been cultivating and had noticed nothing.
• Yun Ming arranged their contribution points and asked why Xu Xiaoyan was absent; Tang Wulin explained that she had voluntarily withdrawn and recounted what had happened.

Yun Ming invited Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to investigate the Heavenly Phenomenon near Skysea City, and they accepted. An Ping completed a Space Stabilizer and used Dream Communication Sorcery to reach Gu Yuena, who sensed an unexpected image while shopping with Xu Xiaoyan.

• Yun Ming offered Tang Wulin and Xie Xie a teacher-accompanied mission to investigate the Heavenly Phenomenon near Skysea City, and both accepted.
• An Ping finished designing and assembling the Space Stabilizer, then stored it for testing with Di Tian.
• An Ping studied Dream Communication Sorcery and entered the Mind World to search for Gu Yuena's spiritual reflection.
• An Ping touched Gu Yuena's silver light spot, causing Gu Yuena to pause while shopping with Xu Xiaoyan and wonder why an image had appeared in her mind.

An Ping tested a new long-distance Communication Spell with Gu Yuena while she was shopping with Xu Xiaoyan, then traveled to Skysea City to buy Rare Metals. The chapter left him at the Auction House materials section, where a receptionist reviewed his list and recognized him as a major customer.

• Gu Yuena realized An Ping was contacting her through a new spell and agreed to let him leave a trace of consciousness in her Mind World so she could contact him later.
• Xu Xiaoyan teased Gu Yuena about missing An Ping as the two continued shopping and bickering on the streets of Mingdu.
• An Ping went invisibly to Skysea City, where crowds had gathered because of the Heavenly Phenomenon and rumors of an opportunity to attain Godhood.
• An Ping headed to the Skysea City Auction House to purchase less precious Rare Metals for his work.
• An Ping gave his materials list to the receptionist, who saw that he was a major customer.

An Ping bought a large quantity of rare metals at the Skysea City Auction House and unexpectedly met Tang Wulin, who wanted to buy metal for Battle Armor. An Ping refused Tang Wulin’s offer to forge the metals, leaving Tang Wulin and his companions searching for another source.

• An Ping waited in a VIP reception room while the receptionist gathered the rare metals he had ordered.
• Tang Wulin arrived seeking metals for his Battle Armor and learned that An Ping had bought the stock he needed.
• Tang Wulin offered to forge An Ping’s metals in exchange for some of them, but An Ping said he needed no help and sent him away.
• Tang Wulin returned to Xie Xie, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi without the metals and explained that An Ping had bought them.
• Xie Xie complained that An Ping kept appearing and bringing trouble to their group.

Tang Wulin and his companions planned how to obtain a ship for their academy mission in Skysea City, but a deadly fog swept over the street. Wu Changkong identified it as the work of an Evil Soul Master and shielded the group as they tried to escape.

• Wu Sido proposed ways to set sail, and Tang Wulin suggested sharing a ship with explorers to save money.
• Tang Wulin led the group toward the Skysea City Auction House after they noticed the fog growing across the street.
• Tang Wulin warned that the fog affected Soul Power, and Wu Changkong found that it was making ordinary people collapse.
• Wu Changkong determined that the fog devoured life force and corroded Soul Power, then carried Xu Lizhi and led everyone away from the area.
• Wu Changkong realized the fog also affected Spiritual Power and told the others to stay within three meters of him before forming a protective barrier.

An Ping investigated the fog sealing Skysea City's coastal district, found Soul Masters using a large Soul Tool to create it, and protected the ordinary people caught in it. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's group reached the Auction House, where Wu Changkong flew to the roof and was mistaken for a Federation rescuer.

• An Ping discovered that the fog concealed energy, disrupted nearby space, and was contained by an Energy Barrier.
• An Ping sensed several groups inside the fog and cast spells to clear it from ordinary people and shield them from further exposure.
• Tang Wulin led Wu Changkong and the others toward the Auction House, then suggested waiting on its roof while Wu Changkong contacted the Academy and the Federation.
• Wu Changkong flew to the roof and encountered a crowd whose leader asked whether the Federation had sent him to resolve the crisis.

Wu Changkong failed to escape the mist-covered district and discovered that a barrier trapped them inside. After the barrier shattered and authorities intervened, An Ping learned the incident had been staged by the Federation to frame the Star Luo Empire Delegation and inflame tensions between the nations.

• Wu Changkong found that the mist was confined by a barrier, then brought Tang Wulin and the others to the Auction House while he tried to reach the outside world.
• Wu Changkong failed to break through the barrier and returned, where Wu Sido suggested the lack of rescue might mean the Skysea Alliance authorities were involved or trouble had spread beyond the district.
• A Titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire Delegation attacked the barrier, which shattered as a fierce gale swept the mist toward the sea.
• Battle Armor-clad Soul Masters surrounded the Titled Douluo and the Auction House rooftop, took away the delegation and those gathered there, and Healing-type Soul Masters treated the injured.
• An Ping removed his protective barriers and learned the mist incident had been staged by the Federation to frame the Star Luo Delegation and stir public support for a future war.

After the Skysea Alliance released the Shrek Academy group, Wu Changkong suspected the incident might signal an impending war and planned to report it. An Ping discovered that he had gained Faith Power and transferred it into Soul Breaker, leaving the sword glowing with pale light.

• Wu Changkong told Tang Wulin and the others not to concern themselves with whether the Star Luo Empire was involved, and privately decided to report the incident to the academy and Tang Sect.
• Wu Sido chose to take the ship provided by the authorities after Tang Wulin and the others agreed it was safer, and the group headed for the harbor.
• An Ping returned to the Deserted Island Pavilion and discovered a small amount of strange energy above his Source of Magic Power.
• An Ping identified the energy as Faith Power and, wary that it could influence his character, chose Soul Breaker as its vessel instead of his Spirit Soul.
• An Ping performed a Transfer Ritual that moved the Faith Power into Soul Breaker, causing runes to appear and the blade to glow pale white.

After completing a Faith Transfer Ritual on Soul Breaker, An Ping contacted Gu Yuena to learn about Faith Power and its influence. He explained that her Soul Beast-derived faith might be intensifying her hatred of humans, then taught her how to redirect it to the Silver Dragon Spear.

• An Ping completed the ritual and transferred the Faith Power in his Source of Magic Power into Soul Breaker.
• An Ping contacted Gu Yuena and recounted how he had encountered Faith Power in Skysea City.
• Gu Yuena explained how gratitude and belief produced Faith Power, and how it could strengthen people and divine artifacts.
• An Ping learned that Faith Power had once contributed significantly to Gu Yuena's strength, though she had stored most of her excess energy in the Silver Dragon Spear.
• An Ping explained that Soul Beast faith could influence Gu Yuena toward hatred of humans, and Gu Yuena recognized that her hostility had lessened.
• An Ping taught Gu Yuena the Faith Transfer Ritual, and she set out to perform it on her own.

An Ping dreamed of an unfamiliar town and used fate magic to confirm that it existed, suspecting the dream showed events happening in real time. Gu Yuena pointed out that the dream’s daylight meant the town was likely on the Dou Ling Continent or Star Luo Continent, leaving An Ping to consider where he might encounter it.

• After his Longsword absorbed Faith Power, An Ping examined its improved properties and put it away.
• An Ping fell asleep and became trapped in a vivid dream of a cheerful town where he could neither control himself nor remember information he saw or heard.
• When the dream ended at dawn, An Ping used a spell to seek information from fate and saw that the town’s celebration stage was still under construction.
• An Ping connected to Gu Yuena and described the dream, explaining that he believed it might have shown events in real time.
• Gu Yuena noted that it was daytime in the dream despite An Ping dreaming at night, so the town could only be on the Dou Ling Continent or Star Luo Continent.

An Ping and Gu Yuena discussed the Star Luo Mission and prepared to travel to the Star Luo Continent with the Sun Moon Academy team. Meanwhile, the Shrek group learned that their mission was to explore the perimeter of an inaccessible area created by the Heavenly Phenomenon.

• Gu Yuena told An Ping that the Federation blamed the Holy Spirit Cult for Mist Time and planned to send the Star Luo Mission home alongside a Douluo Continent Exchange Group.
• Gu Yuena said she had accepted Dean Hongchen's invitation for them to join the Sun Moon Academy team, and An Ping agreed to travel with them from Skysea City.
• Gu Yuena told An Ping that her Faith Transfer Ritual had gone smoothly, though it had drawn more than half the energy from the Silver Dragon Spear because she had used the Purify Spirit Sword to carry Faith Power.
• An Ping put away his Space Energy Crystals, checked the energy collector, and began reading in the Library after Gu Yuena left.
• The Shrek group arrived by ship near the island, where a staff member explained that an inaccessible area roughly three hundred kilometers across had formed after the Heavenly Phenomenon.
• The staff member told Tang Wulin and Wu Sido that their mission was to explore the area's perimeter and search for a way inside.

Tang Wulin and the others investigated an invisible barrier at sea and found that it turned aside objects linked to humans while marine life passed through. Tang San's Divine Sense identified the barrier as the work of the World Will and suspected it was connected to An Ping or Gu Yuena, leaving Tang Wulin wary but curious.

• Tang Wulin asked Wu Sido to lead the exploration, and the group sensed no clear explanation for the barrier beyond spatial elements gathering inward.
• Ye Xinglan noticed that currents and fish crossed the boundary freely, so Tang Wulin used a fish fitted with Wu Sido's camera to test it.
• Wu Changkong guided the fish toward the barrier, which turned it aside when the camera could not pass through.
• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie considered whether the barrier selectively blocked human-related things or was controlled by someone, while Wu Sido wondered if only a Deity could enter.
• Tang San's Divine Sense awoke and told Tang Wulin that the barrier was likely created by the World Will, warning him to avoid contact with it.
• Tang San's Divine Sense suspected the barrier and the Bell Tower Phantom were connected to An Ping or Gu Yuena, and Tang Wulin noted that their departure from Mingdu coincided with the area's appearance.
