At the Federation meeting, the Hawk and Dove factions clashed over war and space exploration, with Mo Lan arguing that conquest would not stop Douluo Continent’s decline.

• Luo Ze threatened to involve Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda if Chen Xin Jie failed to deliver the Hawk Faction’s decision, and gave him five days to respond.

Mo Lan challenged the Hawk Faction to commit to interstellar exploration if it opposed her proposal, but the debate stalled and the meeting was adjourned.

Luo Ze confronted Chen Xin Jie after defending himself against the Hawk Faction, then learned the history of the Vast Sea Family token and heard about the dangerous Heavenly Pillar. He suspected the pillar was connected to the Third Sequence and left Chen Xin Jie with a question about its repeated disasters.

• Chen Xin Jie warned Luo Ze that he would sacrifice himself in a crisis, and Luo Ze asked what Elder Bei had been like.

Luo Ze and Gu Yue Na learned that Chen Xin Jie wanted to settle the conflict through a traditional battle, while the Three-Eyed Golden Beast became the focus of their playful argument. Chen Xin Jie agreed to remain neutral if the Temple of War God lost, and asked to visit Long Yeyue to explain the past; Luo Ze accepted on the condition that she could refuse to see him.

• Gu Yue Na told Luo Ze that Chen Xin Jie proposed resolving the dispute with a fight, and Luo Ze complained that he was too tired to battle.

• Chen Xin Jie offered to take them to Shrek by private helicopter, and Luo Ze agreed to arrange their departure.

• Luo Ze hosted Chen Xin Jie in a quiet house by Sea God Lake, and Chen Xin Jie asked him to arrange a meeting with Long Yeyue.

• Long Yeyue approved of Luo Ze’s plan and warned him about the Federation, the border, and the burdens of his role.
• Luo Ze asked Long Yeyue whether she and Elder Bei had met during the events of the past.

Long Yeyue agreed to let Chen Xin Jie visit Sea God Pavilion, and he negotiated a three-match contest between Shrek and the Temple of War God and Vast Sea Legion. Afterward, Long Yeyue left without hearing Chen Xin Jie's personal appeal, insisting she had nothing to say to him.

• Long Yeyue told Luo Ze how she and Bei Mu had first met at Shrek and reluctantly agreed to receive Chen Xin Jie if he avoided official business.

Tang Wulin then brought Luo Ze to investigate Yuan En Yehui’s worsening Dark Angel influence, where Luo Ze suppressed the oppressive aura and demanded to know why Xie Xie was absent.

• Long Yeyue refused to forgive Chen Xin Jie and left the Sea God Pavilion after he tried to explain why the Vast Sea Legion had failed to rescue Bei Mu.

• Luo Ze privately acknowledged that his worsening condition might eventually defeat the medicine sustaining him.
• Tang Wulin told Luo Ze that Yuan En Yehui’s Dark Angel Martial Soul influence seemed tied to a personal problem she would not reveal.
• Luo Ze, Gu Yue Na, and Tang Wulin went to Yuan En Yehui’s room, where Luo Ze used the Holy Radiance Kirin to suppress her dark aura and asked where Xie Xie was.

Luo Ze and the others discovered that Yuanen Yehui’s uncontrolled cultivation stemmed from a psychological distress tied to her family. They set out to find clues while Gu Yue Na and Tang Wulin stayed to deal with Yuanen.

• Tang Wulin, Luo Ze, Gu Yue Na, and Xie Xie found Yuanen Yehui cultivating dangerously, but Gu Yue Na found no physical or Martial Soul abnormality.
• Luo Ze used his Divine Power to wake Yuanen Yehui, and her Dark Angel Martial Soul resisted him fiercely.
• Luo Ze noticed Yuanen Yehui reacted strongly to the word “family” and concluded that her distress was connected to her family.
• Tang Wulin suggested searching Yuanen Yehui’s memories, but Xie Xie and Gu Yue Na argued with him instead.
• Gu Yue Na proposed that Luo Ze ask Elder Long about families with the Titan Giant Ape or Dark Angel Martial Soul while she and Tang Wulin stayed with Yuanen Yehui.

Yuanen Yehui revealed to Luo Ze that her family’s history was tied to her Fallen Angel Martial Soul and that her grandfather caused her mother’s death and her father’s crippling. Luo Ze learned the truth in private, while Xie Xie and the others waited outside.

• Yuanen Yehui recovered from her inner demon state, but she initially refused to explain the family matter behind it.
• Luo Ze decided Xu Xiaoyan should replace Xie Xie in the later matches while he focused on suppressing Yuanen Yehui’s inner demon.

• Luo Ze created a shielding barrier and helped Yuanen Yehui steady her emotions with Dark Element control.
• Yuanen Yehui told Luo Ze that her grandfather caused her mother’s death and her father’s crippling, and Luo Ze suspected the cause was her Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

Luo Ze sought a way to help Yuanen Yehui control her Fallen Angel martial soul, and Yuanen Zhentian revealed that the family’s proposed solution was to cripple it. Elder Long confirmed that the martial soul could open a passage to the Demon World, leaving the danger far greater than they had feared.

• Luo Ze decided they should consult Yuanen Yehui’s family records and asked Elder Long to bring Yuanen Zhentian to Shrek.
• Xu Xiaoyan arrived at Shrek and reported that the Spirit Pagoda’s records offered little information about Yuanen Yehui’s family.
• Yuanen Zhentian reached Shrek three days later and said he needed to take Yuanen Yehui home to resolve the danger.
• Yuanen Zhentian disclosed that the family’s solution was to cripple Yuanen Yehui’s Fallen Angel martial soul, prompting Xie Xie to object.
• Luo Ze asked Elder Long for help, and she explained that the Fallen Angel could open a passage to the Demon World, where powerful demons might escape.

Luo Ze learned that Yuanen Yehui’s Fallen Angel problem might be solved by controlling or destroying the small world at its core, and he agreed to examine it. The group brought Yuanen Yehui back to her family’s estate, where they encountered hostility over her parentage and Yuanen Zhentian showed his affection for her.

• Elder Long told Luo Ze that the Fallen Angel’s spatial realm was a small world whose core could be controlled or destroyed, and Luo Ze offered to help Yuanen Yehui.
• Yuanen Zhentian promised that the Titan Giant Ape Clan would follow Luo Ze if he resolved Yuanen Yehui’s problem, and the group traveled to the family estate outside Mingdu.
• A middle-aged Yuan En family member reacted to Yuanen Yehui’s return with hostility, and Xie Xie moved to shield her.
• At the estate, the family welcomed Yuanen Zhentian and his relatives but largely ignored Luo Ze’s group, prompting Luo Ze to confront them.
• Yuanen Zhentian apologized and led Luo Ze’s group inside, then served refreshments while keeping his attention on Yuanen Yehui.

Yuanen Zhentian recounted how his eldest son, Yuanen Tiandang, brought home Yuanen Yehui’s mother, whose Fallen Angel martial soul led to a disaster that killed Yuanen Tianshang’s wife. When Yuanen Tianshang threatened Yuanen Yehui over her martial soul, Luo Ze stepped in and stopped him.

• Luo Ze, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue Na, and Xu Xiaoyan assumed the Yuan En family’s grievances were not too severe before Yuanen Zhentian began telling them the family’s history.
• Yuanen Zhentian described his rise to Limit Douluo and explained how his talented eldest son, Yuanen Tiandang, became a Soul Douluo by twenty.
• Yuanen Tiandang traveled to experience the world, later returned as a Titled Douluo with Yehui, and the family underestimated the danger of her Fallen Angel martial soul.
• Yuanen Tianshang said he resented Yuanen Yehui and Yuanen Tiandang because the Fallen Angel had caused his wife’s death, but might accept Yuanen Yehui if she destroyed her martial soul.
• Yuanen Yehui refused to destroy the martial soul her mother had left her, and Yuanen Tianshang advanced toward her despite Yuanen Zhentian’s Gravity Suppression.
• Luo Ze summoned his Holy Radiance Kirin and used Time Power to freeze Yuanen Tianshang, offering to handle the confrontation.

Luo Ze and Tang Wulin speculated that the Yuan En Family's missing ancestor might have been the Soul Beast king Titan Giant Ape Er Ming. Yuanen Zhentian took the possibility seriously and began consulting the family, while Ye Hui prepared to pay respects in the ancestral hall.

• Luo Ze pinned Yuanen Tianshang to the ground, and Yuanen Zhentian decided to let him calm down before leading the group to the ancestral hall.
• Luo Ze noticed an unnamed spirit tablet beside Grandmother Xiong Xiaoling's tablet, and Yuanen Zhentian explained that the ancestor's husband had disappeared, leaving the family with no information beyond his surname.
• Luo Ze and Tang Wulin speculated that the missing ancestor might have been Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, and Luo Ze explained their theory to Xie Xie and the others.
• Yuanen Zhentian accepted that the theory might be plausible and summoned the family elders and members to discuss a new direction for their search.
• Luo Ze asked Gu Yue Na for help, and she sent out the information before Yuanen Zhentian asked Yehui to pay respects to the ancestors.

Yuanen Yehui refused to formally return to the Yuan En Family until her mother's relic was safe, while Luo Ze proposed controlling or destroying the Fallen Angel Plane. Yuanen Zhentian offered support for Luo Ze's struggle against the Hawk Faction and revealed he might know where Eternal Heaven Kingdom was.

• Yuanen Yehui argued with Yuanen Zhentian over her ancestry and her mother's relic, then kowtowed to the ancestors and left without agreeing to return to the family.
• Luo Ze stopped the pair's argument with his Golden Dragon Martial Soul and asked Yuanen Zhentian whether the Fallen Angel Plane could be controlled or destroyed instead of sacrificing Yuanen Yehui's Martial Soul.
• Yuanen Zhentian excitedly asked Luo Ze to name his conditions, and Luo Ze said he had to prioritize the demon threat and the coming confrontation between the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek, the Temple of War God, and the Vast Sea Legion.
• Yuanen Zhentian declared his personal support for Luo Ze and warned that the Hawk Faction would not give up easily because it possessed Eternal Heaven Kingdom.
• Tang Wulin and Gu Yue Na reacted gravely to the weapon's threat, and Yuanen Zhentian said he might have a lead on its location.
