Chapter Summaries

Yuanen Zhentian shared rumors about Eternal Heaven Kingdom and warned that the Temple of War God and Vast Sea Legion would be the main obstacles in the coming contest. The Dove and Hawk Factions agreed to a randomized competition in Shrek City, leaving Luo Ze frustrated by rules that gave his side no control over the matchups.

• Yuanen Zhentian explained that Eternal Heaven Kingdom supported the Hawk Faction and identified Chen Xin Jie, Guan Yue, and Ao Rui as the Temple of War God's strongest fighters.
• Luo Ze pointed out that randomized matchups could undermine their strength, while Tang Wulin hoped the Dove Faction would win greater influence over the rules.
• After three more days, Yuanen Yehui stayed with her family, and Luo Ze gave her a gemstone that could trigger his Time Stop skill to protect her.
• The factions chose Shrek City as the venue, and tourists, merchants, and representatives from across the continent flocked there to gather information.
• The Hawk and Dove Factions agreed that each side would send five randomly selected participants for three randomly ordered matches: three versus three, two versus two, and one versus one.
• Luo Ze angrily objected to the rules because the participants and match formats would be selected at random.

Luo Ze confronted the Dove Faction over unfair competition rules that left Shrek's team at a severe disadvantage. Mo Lan explained that Hawk Faction had bribed Dove Faction members, but Luo Ze remained distrustful as Gu Yue Na urged him to focus on what came next.

• Mo Lan said Hawk Faction had bought off Dove Faction members and promised to expand the Soul Beast habitat plans threefold.
• Luo Ze remained cold toward Mo Lan's promise, and Gu Yue Na told him that blame could wait.

• Mo Lan and the council members promised Luo Ze that the Dove Faction would not raise objections to morally acceptable decisions if they won the match, and Luo Ze sent them away.
• Tang Wulin confirmed the visitors had left, and Luo Ze admitted that acting like the bad cop had exhausted him.
• Xie Xie suggested Gu Yue Na would have made a more intimidating bad cop, so Gu Yue Na chased him while the others left to eat.
• Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda reinforced the arena and hired Super Douluo referees for the match between powerful fighters.
• Elder Long offered to referee and protect Luo Ze personally, but Long Yeyue called him impulsive, and the two veteran Limit Douluo bickered.

Long Yeyue and Elder Long discussed the old romance between Long Yeyue and Elder Bei before Shrek and Spirit Pagoda began the competition against the Dove Faction. Luo Ze and Chen Xin Jie were chosen to draw, and Luo Ze warned Chen Xin Jie not to underestimate his Time Power.

• Feng Wuyu, Zhuo Shi, and Elder Cai left the venue to eat while Elder Long asked Long Yeyue about her past with Elder Bei.
• Long Yeyue revealed that she had pursued Elder Bei first and compared his poor romantic instincts to Luo Ze's.

Luo Ze was selected to face Hao Ri Douluo in the first round, and his side was relieved to have drawn him. Despite his poor health, Luo Ze entered the arena and absorbed Ao Rui’s opening attack, leaving the fight underway.

• Chen Xin Jie urged Luo Ze to be more restrained, but Luo Ze defended his pride in his own strength.
• Hao Ri Douluo was selected as the Spirit Pagoda’s combatant, and Luo Ze’s side discussed the danger posed by his Rank 98 cultivation.

• Ao Rui began the fight by summoning his Sun Martial Soul and attacking Luo Ze with Nine Stars Connecting.
• Luo Ze asked whether Ao Rui’s Sun Martial Soul connected him to the former dynasty, then absorbed one of the miniature suns into his body.

Luo Ze defeated Ao Rui after revealing that his Divine attribute countered Ao Rui’s Sun Martial Soul, and Ao Rui conceded to conserve his strength. As the competition paused, Chen Xin Jie hinted that Luo Ze’s abilities went beyond what the War Gods understood, while Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan discussed their possible opponents.

• Luo Ze explained that his Divine attribute let him absorb the Sun Martial Soul’s power, and Ao Rui conceded rather than exhaust himself.
• Hawk Faction senators recognized Luo Ze’s powerful Kirin Martial Soul, while Temple of War God veterans acknowledged his achievements as North City Lord.

• The first match ended, and the audience observed a ten-minute intermission as the competition’s political significance became clear.
• Tang Wulin said Ao Rui had been an easy opponent, prompting Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan to complain about the pressure of facing powerful opponents.

Tang Wulin and his companions learned that Gu Yue Na would face Sky Over Douluo Guan Yue, while the Hawk Faction secretly ordered a missile strike on the arena. Gu Yue Na warned Luo Ze not to overexert himself, and he insisted he had kept their agreement to conserve his strength.

• Tang Wulin rallied his teammates as they awaited the next match, and the roster paired Gu Yue Na against Guan Yue.
• Luo Ze noted that Guan Yue Na would fight, and the group relaxed, expecting her elemental control to give her the advantage over Guan Yue.

• Gu Yue Na warned Luo Ze that the Hawk Faction might interfere with the competition and that his health mattered more than winning.
• Luo Ze assured Gu Yue Na that he had reduced his use of Soul Power and had not broken their agreement.

Gu Yue Na faced Sky Over Douluo in their second match, and her command of the elements quickly revealed a vast gap between them. As Sky Over Douluo pressed forward, he found her defenses seemingly impossible to break.

• Gu Yue Na told Luo Ze that she and Tang Wulin would focus on restoring his body after the current matters were settled, and Luo Ze gladly accepted.
• Gu Yue Na and Sky Over Douluo introduced themselves before taking their positions for the match.

• Chen Xin Jie recognized Gu Yue Na’s seven elemental attributes and concluded that the War Gods had little chance of winning, while Sky Over Douluo found her defense impossible to penetrate.

Gu Yue Na offered to draw the match in exchange for the Temple of War God supporting the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek, and Guan Yue accepted. Before they could finalize the result, an Eternal Heaven Kingdom missile attacked Shrek City, but Luo Ze and Tang Wulin stopped and destroyed it.

• Chen Xin Jie praised Luo Ze's future prospects, while Elder Long and Long Yeyue argued over whether Shrek or the Spirit Pagoda deserved credit for him.

After Eternal Heaven Kingdom launched a missile at the competition venue, the leaders sealed the site and began investigating who had authorized the attack. Luo Ze suspected the missile had targeted him and concluded that Mist had infiltrated the Federation and controlled someone with access to the weapon, leaving his companions alarmed and ready to act.

• Yun Ming stopped Elder Long and Long Yeyue from arguing with Chen Xin Jie so they could investigate the missile launch.
• Elder Long and Long Yeyue treated Chen Xin Jie, the Temple of War God, and the Hawk Faction as suspects and ordered all exits sealed.
• Tang Wulin helped the exhausted Luo Ze reach safety, where Gu Yue Na and the others gathered around him.
• Luo Ze told his companions that the missile attack was likely connected to Mist’s infiltration and its earlier control of Di Tian.
• Tang Wulin called for them to join forces and root out the traitor.

Luo Ze outlined a plan to investigate the attack while keeping the enemy unaware, then concealed how badly using his powers had damaged his body. He later suggested to Yun Ming that the Eternal Heaven Kingdom had been activated through a counterfeit key or an infiltrator, possibly connected to forces outside their ranks.

• Luo Ze explained that Divine Power could not reliably identify people in the latent stage, then laid out a plan for Tang Wulin and the others to share with Grandfather and Elder Long.

• Luo Ze suggested that a counterfeit key or a problem within their ranks had enabled the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, and he speculated that outside forces were involved.

After Wu Sidao spent a week bringing Luo Ze fish, Xu Xiaoyan tried to show her that Luo Ze and Gu Yue were already close. Wu Sidao gave up pursuing him, while Gu Yue chased off a rival and Luo Ze misunderstood her warning as a request to stay single.

• Xie Xie and Tang Wulin discussed Wu Sidao pursuing Luo Ze, while Gu Yue's cold aura made them wary.
• Luo Ze struggled to understand Wu Sidao's attention and used Xu Xiaoyan as a buffer; Xu Xiaoyan learned that Gu Yue had told Wu Sidao he liked fish.
• Xu Xiaoyan warned Wu Sidao that Luo Ze and Gu Yue had an obvious bond, but Wu Sidao insisted she still had a right to pursue him.
• Xu Xiaoyan brought Wu Sidao to watch Luo Ze carefully debone grilled fish and feed it to Gu Yue, and Wu Sidao left the dormitory without pursuing him further.
• Gu Yue told Luo Ze she would not help him drive away another admirer again, and Luo Ze promised to remain single forever.

Luo Ze organized lie-detector screenings of the legislators after the Eternal Heaven Kingdom attack, suspecting the enemy had infiltrated their ranks. The screening continued despite his unease that the attack was meant as a warning, and he confronted Chen Xin Jie when Chen tried to protect Yu Wei from Luo Ze’s pressure.

• Yun Ming agreed that Mist might be capable of controlling people, and Sky Pillar Douluo considered recalling the Angel Legion commander for detection.
• Luo Ze told Tang Wulin that the Eternal Heaven Kingdom attack gave them a chance to find infiltrators, though he suspected the enemy had another objective and might be warning them.
• Luo Ze had Elder Long and Yun Ming separate and test the legislators, then unexpectedly released the nervous, stammering officials without further investigation.
• Luo Ze took over the screenings and deliberately released his Limit Douluo pressure while testing Yu Wei, prompting Chen Xin Jie to ask him to be careful.
• Luo Ze rejected Chen Xin Jie’s request for restraint and told Tang Wulin to escort Chen out of the inspection.

Tang Wulin subdued Chen Xin Jie after he broke the inspection rules, while Luo Ze questioned Yu Wei using a body monitor. Yu Wei’s impossibly steady heartbeat raised suspicions about how he had stayed calm under pressure.

• Tang Wulin appeared behind Chen Xin Jie and suppressed him with the Golden Dragon aura, while Gu Yue Na and Luo Ze helped Xie Xie withstand the pressure.
• Tang Wulin warned Chen Xin Jie that interfering with the inspection risked making the Temple of War God and the Vast Sea Legion enemies of Spirit Pagoda and Shrek.

• Luo Ze questioned Yu Wei about border affairs, and Yu Wei offered advice and said he was willing to help Luo Ze’s side.
• Luo Ze revealed that the supposed lie detector only measured physical signs and asked why Yu Wei’s heartbeat and pulse had remained steady like a young man’s.

Luo Ze exposed Yu Wei as a Mist infiltrator and destroyed him, then demanded that Chen Xin Jie hand over Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Chen Xin Jie hesitated over the consequences, while Gu Yue Na challenged the Temple of War God’s ability to keep the weapon secure.

• Luo Ze suppressed Yu Wei, who revealed himself as a Mist creature and questioned why Luo Ze wanted to expose the peaceful illusion surrounding the humans.
• Luo Ze gave Yu Wei two minutes to speak, but Yu Wei declared its loyalty to the Third Sequence and invited Luo Ze to kill it.
• Luo Ze destroyed Yu Wei and released Time Stop, while Tang Wulin, the others, and Chen Xin Jie recovered and realized Yu Wei had been a spy.
• Luo Ze told Chen Xin Jie he would not leave Eternal Heaven Kingdom in someone else’s hands and demanded that it be handed over to him.
• Chen Xin Jie said he could not decide the matter alone and questioned how Luo Ze could prevent Mist from infiltrating again.
• Gu Yue Na blamed the Temple of War God for failing to detect the betrayal, and Xie Xie worried about Gu Yue Na’s imposing manner.

Luo Ze persuaded Chen Xin Jie to let the Dove Faction control Eternal Heaven Kingdom under the supervision of the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek. After the group discussed dismantling the weapon and entrusting its launch mechanism to Luo Ze, Zhuo Shi suggested he knew someone who could handle the dismantling.

• Gu Yue Na argued that the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek needed to secure Eternal Heaven Kingdom because the Temple of War God had fallen under control.
• Luo Ze proposed putting Eternal Heaven Kingdom in the Dove Faction's hands, with the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek supervising it.
• Chen Xin Jie agreed that the Temple of War God and Vast Sea Legion representatives would remain silent at the meeting, though he could not openly support the decision.
• Long Yeyue proposed dismantling Eternal Heaven Kingdom, and Elder Long suggested giving its launch mechanism to Luo Ze.
• When the group struggled to find someone qualified to dismantle the weapon, Zhuo Shi said he knew a possible candidate.

Shrek arranged for Yun Ming and Ya Li to approach the Tang Sect about partnering with a female Soul Tool scientist from the Unorthodox Research Institute to dismantle the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Luo Ze brought Tang Wulin along after predicting that the scientist had a connection to him, while Gu Yue Na stayed behind to handle unrest among the Soul Beasts.

• Zhuo Shi told Long Yeyue that the Unorthodox Research Institute had a female scientist specializing in Soul Tools and the Eternal Kingdom, and Long Yeyue approved seeking help from the Tang Sect.
• Long Yeyue assigned Yun Ming to meet Zang Xin and ordered Ya Li to accompany him, warning Yun Ming not to start another fight with the Tang Sect.
• Luo Ze told Tang Wulin to travel with him, explaining that his family had urged him to find Tang Wulin a girlfriend or even a fake partner.
• Tang Wulin said he had no time for dating and was more concerned about Luo Ze's health, but Luo Ze ordered him to pack and come along.
• Luo Ze told Gu Yue Na that his Fifth Soul Skill had predicted a connection between Tang Wulin and the female scientist, while Gu Yue Na warned him that the Soul Beasts remained unstable.

Luo Ze and Tang Wulin arrived at Tang Sect headquarters, where Zang Xin welcomed them and argued with Yun Ming over Luo Ze’s future. Zang Xin declared Luo Ze the Tang Sect Sect Master, while Yun Ming objected, and the discussion turned to Luo Ze’s role in securing Eternal Heaven Kingdom and the proposed merger of Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda.

• Zang Xin praised Luo Ze for persuading Chen Xin Jie to hand over Eternal Heaven Kingdom, and Yun Ming explained why he had resisted merging Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda.

Luo Ze learned that Zang Xin wanted him to become the Tang Sect master, and he asked for a week to consider the offer. He then agreed to approach Ling Zi Chen for help investigating Eternal Heaven Kingdom, leaving with Tang Wulin to find her.

• Yun Ming explained that he wanted to borrow a woman from the Tang Sect to help address the threat posed by Eternal Heaven Kingdom.
• Zang Xin advised Yun Ming to let Luo Ze and the younger generation approach Ling Zi Chen, a difficult and eccentric scientist.
• Luo Ze asked Zang Xin for Ling Zi Chen's workplace information, then left with Tang Wulin to contact her.

Luo Ze brought Tang Wulin to the Tang Sect’s Soul Tool Shell Research Center to seek Ling Zi Chen’s help. After Luo Ze left to buy her a gift, Tang Wulin met the fiery research director and refused to leave when she ordered him out.

• Luo Ze and Tang Wulin arrived at the research center, where Tang Wulin worried that Ling Zi Chen would be difficult to deal with.
• Luo Ze used Space Teleportation to leave and buy nutritional supplements, telling Tang Wulin to wait for him.
