Luo Ze and the city lords dealt with the Chief Official and began calming North City’s citizens, but the Third Sequence ordered an immediate assault that surrounded the city and blocked reinforcements. City Lord Long left Luo Ze behind and planned to use his time and Divine Power to break the siege by freeing West City.

Luo Ze accompanied Gu Yue and Tang Wulin to West City after Elder Long rejected his plan to reinforce North City, while Elder Long’s hidden aim was to make Luo Ze the next North City Lord. On the way, Luo Ze recognized Gu Yue’s understanding of the plan and reflected on his worsening condition and the possibility that he had only a few years left.

• Luo Ze warned Elder Long that Mist could attack North City with Limit Douluos and that its mind-controlling aura posed a danger, but Elder Long insisted North City could defend itself.
• Gu Yue privately urged Luo Ze to trust Elder Long’s judgment, and Elder Long led the main force toward North City while Luo Ze, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin returned to West City with Yuanen Zhentian.
• Yuanen Zhentian explained that Mist had cut off West City’s roads and that its food would last less than a month, then advised Luo Ze to command rather than personally enter every battle.
• Luo Ze realized Elder Long intended to establish him as North City Lord and had sent him to West City to temper him and win its support.
• Luo Ze told Gu Yue he understood Elder Long’s intentions and reflected that his body was weakening, his lifespan might end around twenty, and his feelings for her were affecting him.

Yuanen Zhentian dispatched the Shrek students on supply and route-opening missions while West City fought to keep its defenses intact. As Xie Xie set out to strike at the suspected Mist base, Qian Gu Dongfeng relayed an order for all students supporting the cities to return to the Douluo Continent immediately.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng announced that the Federation had ordered all students supporting the cities to return to the Douluo Continent immediately.

Qian Gu Dongfeng delivered the Federation’s orders to withdraw support from the Four Great Cities while conspiring with the Holy Spirit Cult to seize the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek City. Elder Long also received an order recalling him from North City, leaving the border cities facing a dangerous loss of leadership and reinforcements.

• Yuanen Zhentian read the Federation’s order to withdraw reinforcements and demanded an explanation from Qian Gu Dongfeng, who warned him that the matter was beyond his control.
• A black shadow praised Qian Gu Dongfeng for delivering the orders and urged him to take control of the Spirit Pagoda before the Holy Spirit Cult’s lord returned.
• The black shadow proposed using Mist control in Shrek City to eliminate the Spirit Pagoda’s upper ranks, and Qian Gu Dongfeng objected because Shrek Academy’s Pavilion Master might sense it.
• Qian Gu Dongfeng worried about Elder Long and Luo Ze, recalling nightmares of Luo Ze’s crimson eyes and fearing the boy’s power might surpass Beast God Di Tian’s.
• Elder Long received a Federation order demanding his immediate return from North City, and the Vice City Lord angrily condemned the decision.

Elder Long left North City in the Vice City Lord’s hands and headed back to see Luo Ze, while Luo Ze and Gu Yue considered how to break West City’s siege. Gu Yue prepared to return to the Spirit Pagoda to investigate the suspicious transfer order, leaving Luo Ze to find a way to reach her.

• Gu Yue reassured Luo Ze that she could handle the Spirit Pagoda, kissed him goodbye, and told him she would wait for him there.
• Over three days, Shrek’s and the Federation’s merchants returned to Douluo Continent, and Qian Gu Dongfeng sent footage of their welcome ceremony to the Four Great Cities.
• North City’s Vice City Lord asked Yuanen Zhentian for help, and Yuanen Zhentian ordered Luo Ze to rush to the city.
• Because the Mist Legion blocked the only passage from West City to North City, Luo Ze infiltrated the area and planned to use his Time Power to cross unseen.
• Protected from the mist by his Holy Radiance Kirin’s Divine power, Luo Ze cautiously approached the passage and studied the slopes and enemy forces.

Luo Ze forced his way through the Mist checkpoints despite his failing body and the seals threatening to break. He reached the final stages, while North City neared collapse under the Mist army’s assault.

• Luo Ze used Time Slow to pass the first three checkpoints, then found the terrain beyond the fifth checkpoint stripped of cover by the Third Sequence’s orders.
• Luo Ze used his Martial Soul Avatar and Two-word Battle Armor to pass the sixth and seventh stages, leaving him gasping and close to breaking his eighth seal.

• Du Yanfeng aimed a sniper rifle at Luo Ze, while he and his companion discussed the harsh new Zhao City Lord.

Luo Ze found Gong Zimo and Du Yanfeng and learned that the Zhao Family had betrayed North City, leading to the Vice City Lord’s death and the city’s collapse. Gong Zimo recounted how the Vice City Lord sacrificed himself to help five hundred survivors escape, while Luo Ze sought conclusive evidence against the Zhao Family’s current City Lord.

• Gong Zimo told Du Yanfeng that he had no family to worry about and that he was willing to die, while Du Yanfeng urged him to return to the continent together.
• Luo Ze appeared behind Gong Zimo and Du Yanfeng, immobilized them, and asked whether the Zhao Family controlled North City.

Luo Ze learned that Yu Ningmeng had survived North City's fall and traveled with Gong Zimo and Du Yanfeng to meet the new North City Lord, Zhao. After returning to the harshly rebuilt city, Luo Ze prepared to confront Zhao over his rule and the betrayal that had led to North City's destruction.

• Gong Zimo and Du Yanfeng warned Luo Ze that North City was controlled by the Zhao Family and that Zhao Mu was a powerful Super Douluo, but Luo Ze insisted on going to kill him.
• At North City’s gate, Old Mo refused entry without new identification, but Luo Ze threatened him with a Soul Tool Pistol until he stepped aside.

• The Zhao Family’s higher-ups expressed disbelief at Zhao Mu’s death and urged the Vice Family Head to lead a group attack on Luo Ze.

Luo Ze summoned a silver-white dragon to suppress the Zhao Family’s four Titled Douluo, then considered risking his life to absorb three powerful ores. In Shrek City, Elder Long confronted the Qian Gu Family over Luo Ze’s death, while Qian Gu Dongfeng summoned the old family head to face him.

• Yu Ningmeng asked Luo Ze why he had become more merciful since becoming North City Lord.

Luo Ze asked Yu Ningmeng to succeed him as North City Lord and prepared to leave the next day to resolve the city's remaining affairs himself. Yu Ningmeng accepted, while warning him that the Mist’s power had grown and was moving toward the borders.

Luo Ze left Yu Ningmeng in charge of North City and traveled back toward its old site to confront Third Sequence. Third Sequence refused to meet him directly, and Luo Ze recognized the humanoid Mist who appeared as one of Third Sequence’s subordinates, One Quarter.

• Yu Ningmeng told Luo Ze that he had become warmer, and he admitted that he might be in love with someone in Shrek City.

• A more humanlike Mist appeared, and Luo Ze identified him as Third Sequence's One Quarter.

Luo Ze confronted Third Sequence, who revealed that First Sequence’s inheritance had changed and hinted at a wager involving Luo Ze’s lover. Third Sequence backed away from the Silver Dragon Scale after Luo Ze threatened to sacrifice his life, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Luo Ze told One Quarter he had pursued the split bodies to erase Third Sequence’s divine consciousness, and demanded that One Quarter dismiss the space he had raised.

• Luo Ze’s painful memories stirred as Third Sequence’s Mist dragged him back to the present and tried to dissolve the cord beside his Silver Dragon Scale.
• Luo Ze threatened to die rather than let Third Sequence take the Silver Dragon Scale, so Third Sequence lowered his hand and said he had only been correcting their agreement’s rules.

Luo Ze confronted the Third Sequence, who revealed his plan to inherit the First Sequence’s position and tried to provoke him. Luo Ze broke through to the Titled Douluo realm and trapped the Third Sequence’s projection, despite the severe cost to his failing body.
