After Vina became the first empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, she exposed the Sun Moon Empire’s plot to replace the empire, prompting the Three Great Empires to purge spies and coordinate against their enemy. In Mingdu, Xu Tianran blamed Kong Deming’s stalled campaign and heard Jing Hongchen propose pressuring the Star Luo Empire to pull Dai Hao away from the front.

Ju Zi hoped Jiang Yuheng would survive his mission against the Frost Dragon Butterfly, while the war shifted as Vina strengthened her hold over the Heaven Dou Empire and the Sun Moon Empire faced supply problems. Jiang Yuheng warned Wang Dong'er that these gains were temporary, leaving Vina’s forces still outmatched in a direct battle.

• Ju Zi reflected on Jiang Yuheng’s Flawless Soul Tool and wished him survival before returning to the rear palace.

Jiang Yuheng prepared to lead the campaign to reclaim the Heaven Dou Empire while warning Wang Dong'er that Kong Deming might attack their logistics. Meanwhile, Dai Hao learned that the Western Army Group had fallen into disorder and had to return to the Star Luo Empire, leaving the Heaven Dou forces without their strongest commander.

• Commander Chen accepted Dai Hao's departure and asked him to return to the Heaven Dou Empire if he could.

• The Emperor rewarded a loyal informant and secretly urged him to escape, then admitted to Elder Dai that the capital would eventually be conquered.

Elder Dai and the Emperor chose to carry out Xu Tianran’s order to destroy the Heaven Dou Empire’s capital with Soul Tool High Explosive Bombs rather than risk their families being punished. As citizens resisted and Jiang Yuheng learned of the threat, he was urged to devise a plan before the bombs were detonated.

With Soul Tool High Explosive Bombs buried throughout the city, Jiang Yuheng arranged for negotiations while preparing to seek outside help if the crisis worsened. Elder Dai and the Emperor refused to consider surrender, leaving the city’s fate uncertain.

• The captain of the personal guards informed Elder Dai and the Emperor about the offer, and Elder Dai rejected negotiations while urging them to take their enemies down with them.

A personal guard captain and his men defected after learning that the Emperor planned to destroy the capital, but opening the city gates risked a devastating attack from the Sun Moon Empire. Jiang Yuheng delayed a decision until Luo Yuexi arrived with medicine, preparing to use his power despite the strain it would place on his weakened body.

• Elder Dai told the personal guard captain that the Emperor would not surrender, and the captain left intending to defect to Empress Vina.
• The captain gathered his subordinates, and they decided to open the city gates to the King-level Soul Engineer Legion and contact Jiang Yuheng's forces.

• Jiang Yuheng ordered information sealed within the city and warned his commanders against letting rumors spread through the army.
• Luo Yuexi arrived with medicine, warned Jiang Yuheng that his weakened body would suffer prolonged exhaustion after using his power, and told him to prepare accordingly.

• Elder Dai boasted that the bombs could not all be found and vowed to make Jiang infamous for Heaven Soul City’s destruction.
• Jiang Yuheng said good night, and the Frost Dragon swiftly swallowed Elder Dai and the emperor.

After Jing Hongchen captured the Western Army Group, Xu Tianran ordered him to secure the position and prepare for a larger assault on the Star Luo Empire. The chapter revealed how Ju Zi’s plan exploited the transfer of Dai Hao and infighting among his deputies, leaving Jing Hongchen to reflect that he could not give Jiang Yuheng more time.

• Jing Hongchen reported the Western Army Group’s defeat and stationed his troops in the mountains while awaiting Xu Tianran’s orders.
• Xu Tianran praised Jing Hongchen but ordered him to hold his position, sent reinforcements, and instructed Kong Deming to avoid any mistakes.
• Xu Tianran recalled his earlier discussion with Ju Zi, who had proposed luring Dai Hao away from the Western Army Group to weaken its defenses.

• Jing Hongchen was stunned to learn that the Western Army Group had a traitor and lamented that he could not buy Jiang Yuheng more time.

After the Star Luo Empire’s border fell to the Sun Moon Empire, Jiang Yuheng steadied the shaken defenders in Mu City and ordered them to stick to their plan for the night. He left the details of the Star Luo situation unresolved and suggested Shrek Academy prepare to respond if events worsened.

• News that the Star Luo Empire’s border had fallen spread through Mu City and threw the Soul Engineer Legion into confusion.

• Jiang Yuheng suggested that Shrek Academy be ready to intervene if an unforeseen crisis developed, and Xuan Zi proposed stationing academy members in the Star Luo Empire.

Jiang Yuheng and the others planned to stabilize the Heaven Dou Empire and support the Star Luo Empire as the Sun Moon Empire advanced. After Shrek Academy intervened at the border, Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei defended Dai Hao, but officials continued to accuse him of responsibility.

• Jiang Yuheng urged the group to let the Heaven Dou Empire stabilize before Kong Deming was forced to withdraw, while Wang Dong'er told him to focus on recovering.

• Officials countered that Dai Hao still bore responsibility for the border disaster as Marshal, and accused Xu Jiawei of protecting him through their personal ties.
