• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass revealed that it had told the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s six old ancestors about Lin Chen and shared the location of his base.

Lin Chen learned from the captured Seven-Horned Mysterious Ice Grass that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s immortal herbs planned to conquer the continent and could now leave their home. After the grass summoned its ancestors, Lin Chen had the Myriad Demon King knock it unconscious and prepared for their arrival.

• The Seven-Horned Mysterious Ice Grass boasted that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well housed powerful immortal herbs, including quasi-gods and many high-ranking fighters.

Lin Chen opened the Tang Sect’s encrypted storage drive and uncovered evidence of its deep infiltration of the Star Luo Federation and its systematic theft and resale of Blood God Legion supplies. With the evidence in hand, he considered how to expose the Tang Sect and turned to inspect the belongings of the Shrek Academy people, wondering what Yun Ming had wanted.

• Lin Chen used Cao Dezhi’s sect master token and identity mark to unlock the Tang Sect’s encrypted storage drive.
• Lin Chen found records showing that the Tang Sect had infiltrated Star Luo Federation institutions and secretly built bases and troop reserves across the continent.
• Lin Chen uncovered ledgers proving that the Tang Sect had embezzled and sold Blood God Legion supplies to strengthen its own forces and fund the sect.
• Lin Chen realized the records could make the Tang Sect a public enemy if released, and began considering how to expose them.
• Lin Chen turned to the Shrek Academy corpses to search for what Yun Ming had wanted.

Lin Chen uncovered proof that Yun Ming had deliberately spread plagues across the Douluo Plane so Ya Li could cure them and harvest faith power for him. With Star Luo Continent still suffering and Ya Li due to arrive in three days, Lin Chen decided Yun Ming would not get the faith power.

• Lin Chen found a communication recorder among the dead man's belongings and had Zero Realm retrieve its records.
• The Myriad Demon King identified the stored bottles and containers as concentrated plague venom and plague gas.
• Zero Realm's records revealed that Yun Ming had secretly caused the outbreaks across Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Continent, and Star Luo Continent to gain faith power through Ya Li's healing.
• Lin Chen called Dai Yun'er, learned that Star Luo's plague remained uncontrolled, and found out Ya Li would arrive in three days.
• Lin Chen ended the call and decided to keep the truth from Yun Ming and prevent him from receiving the faith power.

Lin Chen used the information he had gathered to plan leverage against Shrek and the Tang Sect, while preparing Yun Ming’s blood for a spiritual plant clone. He blackmailed Hu Jie with the Tang Sect’s secrets and demanded ten top-grade immortal herbs, leaving the deal unresolved.

• Lin Chen kept his information about Shrek and Yali secret, then decided Yun Ming’s blood could help create a spiritual plant clone.
• Lin Chen sent the collected blood, corpses, and resources through Zero Realm’s satellite transport to the Lin Clan Group’s internal small world.
• Lin Chen contacted Hu Jie using a dead subordinate’s communication number and identified himself as the man who had killed Hu Jie’s superiors.
• Lin Chen threatened to expose the Tang Sect’s Star Luo Continent schemes and crimes unless it paid him for the information.
• Hu Jie protested Lin Chen’s demand for ten top-grade immortal herbs, but called out for him to wait when Lin Chen began ending the call.

Lin Chen coerced Hu Jie into handing over ten top-grade immortal herbs and offered Dai Yun'er a secret in exchange for money and an autonomous territory. Dai Tianning accepted Lin Chen’s demands, believing the deal made the Star Luo Federation safer from him.

• Lin Chen threatened to expose evidence against Tang Sect unless Hu Jie delivered ten intact top-grade immortal herbs within one day, and Hu Jie agreed.
• Lin Chen contacted Dai Yun'er and demanded ten billion Federation credits and a province-sized permanent autonomous region in exchange for top-secret information.
• Dai Yun'er rushed to tell Dai Tianning about Lin Chen’s offer and its threat to the Star Luo Royal Family.
• Dai Tianning agreed to meet all of Lin Chen’s demands and told Dai Yun'er to choose the best possible location for his territory.

Dai Tianling paid Lin Chen ten billion Federation credits and granted him autonomous territory in exchange for Tang Sect intelligence that exposed a deep infiltration of the Star Luo Federation. Lin Chen delayed the Federation’s crackdown so he could also extort immortal herbs from the Tang Sect, while Hu Jie took control of the weakened sect.

• Dai Tianling decided to ally with Lin Chen, paid him ten billion Federation credits from the royal family’s private treasury, and granted him a resource-rich frontier territory as an autonomous zone.
• Lin Chen sent Dai Yun'er classified Tang Sect files detailing undercover agents, secret strongholds, and plans to take over the Star Luo Federation.
• Dai Tianling and Dai Yun'er discovered how extensively the Tang Sect had infiltrated their nation and agreed to wait a day before acting so Lin Chen could collect ten immortal herbs from the Tang Sect.
• Dai Tianling accepted Lin Chen’s delay, arranged to seal off the Federation, and invited him to dinner, which Lin Chen declined.
• After Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi died, Hu Jie took control of the Tang Sect and convened its remaining Super Douluos and worship elders.

Lin Chen traded ten immortal herbs to Hu Jie for the Tang Sect’s encrypted data, then returned to Dragon Valley to witness a hundred Dragon Beasts hatch after Xiao Cai purified their bloodlines. He saw that the process transformed them toward the Dragon Clan and began considering how that limitation might inspire a new idea.

• Hu Jie exchanged ten top-grade immortal herbs for the encrypted Soul Tool storage drive from Lin Chen and hurried back to the Tang Sect.
• Lin Chen told Dai Yun'er that she could begin purging corruption within the empire.
• Lin Chen returned to Dragon Valley, where Xiao Cai removed the cocoons and more than a hundred transformed Dragon Beasts hatched.
• Lin Chen observed that the purification had raised the Dragon Beasts’ bloodline tiers but pushed them toward dragon traits, making it unsuitable for his other breeding plans.
• Lin Chen suddenly conceived a new idea while considering the limits of Xiao Cai’s bloodline purification.

Lin Chen learned Xiao Cai could extract dragon blood and explained how a Dragon Blood Pool could benefit Soul Beasts, Soul Masters, and Dragon Valley. He then rushed to Azure South Commandery, where Ya Li was treating plague victims, and waited for her to finish saving them.

• Xiao Cai admitted she could extract pure dragon blood while preserving other bloodlines, and she explained how a Dragon Blood Pool could store energy and aid cultivation and healing.
• Lin Chen ordered Xiao Cai to purify strong dragon bloodlines and use extracted weaker dragon blood to build the pool.
• After handling affairs in Dragon Valley, Lin Chen received Dai Yun'er's message that Ya Li was providing plague relief in Azure South Commandery.
• Lin Chen traveled there with the Scarlet King and saw Ya Li using her Healing Angel martial soul to treat the stricken city.
• Lin Chen suspected the plague and the faith gained through Ya Li's healing were part of Yun Ming's scheme, but he let Ya Li continue her work and waited a full day.

Lin Chen confronted the exhausted Ya Li in her hotel room and showed her evidence that her husband, Yun Ming, had deliberately caused disasters to harvest faith. Ya Li recognized the clues she had ignored but still struggled to accept the truth.

• Lin Chen bypassed the hotel security and entered Ya Li's room while she was bathing.
• Ya Li recognized Lin Chen, and he stopped her from activating her Martial Soul by warning that they would have to fight.
• Lin Chen displayed records accusing Yun Ming of engineering plagues and disasters to gather faith and restore his power.
• Ya Li called the evidence fabricated and defended Yun Ming, but Lin Chen pointed to the records and Yun Ming's attempt to seize them.
• Ya Li connected the outbreaks to Yun Ming's need for faith and admitted she had suspected him but refused to doubt her husband.

Lin Chen confronted Ya Li with evidence that she and Yun Ming had helped cause mass deaths, then revealed that he wanted her to gather faith for him. He proposed a bet on whether Yun Ming would take the blame for her or abandon her, and Ya Li realized Lin Chen was Chen Lin in disguise.

• Lin Chen accused Ya Li of gathering faith for Yun Ming despite knowing the harm their actions caused, and warned that publicizing his evidence would disgrace them and Shrek.
• Ya Li knelt and begged Lin Chen to keep the evidence secret, offering to do anything, but he rejected her offer and dismissed her explanation that Yun Ming had never touched her.
• Lin Chen told Ya Li he wanted to subdue her and have her gather the world's faith for him; she refused, insisting she could never betray Yun Ming.
• Lin Chen proposed a bet: if Yun Ming abandoned Ya Li and blamed her, she would submit to Lin Chen; if Yun Ming accepted the blame, Lin Chen would clear their names in a public statement.
• Ya Li recognized Lin Chen as Chen Lin, whose influence and reputation could make the public believe his statement.

Lin Chen made Ya Li wager that she would submit to him if he proved Yun Ming’s feelings false, promising to cure her inability to bear children. He then edited a misleading video and sent Yun Ming instructions to blame Ya Li for the plague, leaving the trap set and waiting for Yun Ming to act.

• Lin Chen offered to restore Ya Li’s ability to bear children in exchange for her willing service and faith if he won their bet, and Ya Li accepted because she trusted Yun Ming.
• Lin Chen left Ya Li’s room and edited a bathroom surveillance recording into a video that made her appear to disavow Yun Ming and the plague.
• Lin Chen anonymously sent Yun Ming the video and a document urging Shrek Academy to accuse Ya Li before the plague conspiracy was exposed.
• Lin Chen waited for Yun Ming to take the bait, believing Ya Li’s faith-gathering ability made her essential to his future plans.

After receiving Lin Chen’s evidence and plan, Yun Ming publicly blamed Ya Li for creating the plague and abandoned her to protect himself and Shrek Academy. Ya Li was condemned across the continent, and she realized Yun Ming had betrayed her just as Lin Chen predicted.

• Yun Ming watched Ya Li’s confession and read Lin Chen’s plan, then decided to sacrifice Ya Li to save himself and Shrek Academy.
• Yun Ming held a continent-wide press conference, presented forged evidence, and accused Ya Li of creating the plague to harvest faith.
• Yun Ming announced that Shrek Academy would issue a warrant for Ya Li, and people across three continents condemned her.
• Lin Chen read the news, and Dai Yun'er called him to discuss Ya Li’s alleged role in the plague.
• Ya Li realized Yun Ming had blamed her before Lin Chen exposed the truth and mourned his betrayal.

After Ya Li accepted Lin Chen’s control, Lin Chen exposed evidence that Yun Ming had caused the plague and framed her, turning public opinion against Yun Ming and Shrek Academy. As Shrek’s reputation collapsed, Yun Ming addressed the Sea God Pavilion elders and blamed Ya Li for the disaster.

• Ya Li called Lin Chen, admitted she had lost their bet, and asked him to make Yun Ming pay for framing her.
• Lin Chen mobilized the Lin Clan Group’s media, the underground black market’s intelligence network, and the Star Luo Royal Family to release evidence against Yun Ming.
• The public learned that Yun Ming had caused the plague and framed Ya Li, clearing her reputation while condemning Yun Ming and Shrek Academy.
• Shrek’s students and staff remained loyal despite the scandal, while victims and media outlets continued demanding Yun Ming’s punishment.
• Yun Ming told the Sea God Pavilion elders that he would bear responsibility, but claimed Ya Li’s character had deceived him and caused Shrek’s downfall.

Yun Ming announced that he would take sole responsibility for Shrek’s scandal and enter the Abyss, while the Star Luo Federation purged Tang Sect spies using a list Lin Chen had supplied. Lin Chen then threatened Tang Sect master Hu Jie with exposure of the sect’s smuggling of Blood God Legion supplies.

• Yun Ming rejected the Sea God Pavilion elders’ pleas and announced that he would accept punishment by entering the Abyss alone in one week.
• Dai Tianling used Lin Chen’s list to capture Tang Sect spies throughout the Star Luo Federation, severely disrupting the sect’s operations there.
• Hu Jie angrily accused Lin Chen of breaking his promise and leaking the list to the Star Luo Royal Family.
• Lin Chen denied responsibility, blaming a subordinate, and reminded Hu Jie that the Tang Sect’s military-supply smuggling could also be exposed.
• Hu Jie realized that disclosure of the Tang Sect’s smuggling from the Blood God Legion could threaten the sect with accusations of betraying humanity.

Lin Chen exposed the Tang Sect’s smuggling of Blood God Legion supplies, triggering a continent-wide scandal that left the weakened sect vulnerable to destruction. He later met Ya Li, whose faith had grown stronger, and asked her how faith power could be given to someone else.

• Lin Chen threatened Hu Jie, ended their call, and sent evidence of the Tang Sect’s smuggling to the Blood God Legion through three channels.
• The smuggling scandal erupted across the continent, causing the Tang Sect’s reputation to collapse and giving rival forces grounds to move against it.
• Lin Chen judged that the Tang Sect would soon be dismantled, while Ya Li continued treating people in Canglan Commandery with compassion and gained stronger faith power.
• Lin Chen met Ya Li in her room, noted the brighter Wish Angel mark on her forehead, and asked how she could give faith power to someone else.
