Tang Hao attacked Lin Ran, but stopped when Lin Ran summoned Ah Yin's Soul Spirit, leaving Tang Hao enraged by her failure to recognize him.

• Feng Ling shattered her remaining soul rings, unleashed her ninth soul skill, and then self-destructed, but Lin Ran survived with the Blood Pool.

Lin Ran severely injured Tang Hao with the Illusory Sea Pearl’s spiritual attack, then cut off the Life Goddess’s perception and took Tang Hao away before her main body arrived. At the God Realm Conference, the gods agreed to capture Tang Hao, but the Life Goddess sensed a sudden change just as the meeting was ending.

• Lin Ran combined his domains, soul skills, and bones to withstand Tang Hao’s divine attack and redirected the Clear Sky Hammer’s power back at him.

• Xiao Wu worried about Tang Hao, and the Life Goddess’s expression abruptly changed as the conference was about to end.

Lin Ran brought Tang Hao to Gu Yuena, who killed him and absorbed his source energy before his divine soul could return to the God Realm. Gu Yuena and the Dragon Kings then considered how to win Lin Ran to their side, ending with two very different schemes.

• The Life Goddess descended into the Evil Demon Forest but found Lin Ran and Tang Hao gone.
• Lin Ran brought Tang Hao to Gu Yuena in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Gu Yuena bound him.
• Lin Ran urged Gu Yuena to absorb Tang Hao's source energy and destroy his divine soul, and she killed him.
• Gu Yuena offered Lin Ran a place to recover, but he refused because the Life Goddess might discover her.
• Gu Qingming warned Gu Yuena that Lin Ran's close bond with the Life Goddess meant he might not support the Dragon Clan against the God Realm.
• Gu Yuena proposed making Lin Ran her husband, while Gu Xuanying suggested bringing Lin Ran and the Life Goddess together to sow chaos in the God Realm.

Gu Qingming rejected schemes to bring Lin Ran and the Life Goddess together, then advised Gu Yuena to approach Lin Ran honestly by spending time with him in human form. At the God Realm Committee, the gods learned Tang Hao had fallen, and the God of Destruction called for Tang San to lose the Asura God divine seat.

• Gu Qingming warned Gu Xuanying not to scheme against Lin Ran and urged her to build an honest friendship with him.
• Gu Yuena suggested forcibly taking Lin Ran as soul beasts did, but Gu Qingming explained human customs and advised her to spend time with him in a human identity.

• A bell at the God Realm Central Hub announced Tang Hao's fall, and the Evil God said neither the Life Goddess nor her successor's actions could be confirmed.
• Xiao Wu worried about Tang Hao, Lin Ran, and the safety of the other part of Xiao Qi's soul.
• The God of Destruction condemned Tang Hao's lawbreaking and proposed stripping Tang San of the Asura God divine seat, then called for a vote.

At the God Realm Conference, the gods backed stripping Tang San of the Asura God position, and the God of Destruction brought Xiao Wu to confront him. Tang San tried to free the Golden Dragon King and, when the God of Destruction began removing the Asura Seed, sabotaged the Forbidden Land of Gods; Xiao Wu collapsed as the seal began to fail.

• The gods voted to support the proposal against Tang San, and the God of Destruction took Xiao Wu to the Forbidden Land of Gods.
• Tang San secretly negotiated with the imprisoned Golden Dragon King, who agreed to cooperate in exchange for a chance to kill the God of Destruction and the Life God.
• The God of Destruction told Tang San that Tang Hao had died and that the gods had voted to strip him of the Asura God position; Tang San blamed the Plane Master for his father's death.
• The God of Destruction used the God Realm Central Hub key to begin separating Xiao Wu's Asura Seed from Tang San.
• The Asura Seed drifted toward Tang San, who used his divine power and Asura God Sword to break the Forbidden Land of Gods seal and free the Golden Dragon King.
• Xiao Wu collapsed unconscious as Tang San unleashed the Asura Seed's power, while the Forbidden Land of Gods began to collapse.

Tang San's attempt to save Xiao Wu destabilized the seal holding the Golden Dragon King, who broke free and attacked the God Realm Central Hub. The God of Destruction stopped the Asura Seed from exploding and rushed to defend the Hub, while Xiao Wu vanished into a spatial rift and the Golden Dragon King overwhelmed its defenders.

• After Xiao Wu was injured, Tang San ignited the Asura Seed and threatened to destroy it, shaking apart the Forbidden Land of Gods and freeing the Golden Dragon King.
• The Golden Dragon King ignored the fighting Tang San and the God of Destruction and flew toward the God Realm Central Hub to take revenge on the God Realm.

• The God of Destruction ignited the Flame of Life and used the God Realm Central Hub's key to extinguish the flames on the Asura Seed, then rushed toward the Hub as his lightning gravely wounded Tang San.
• Xiao Wu slipped into a spatial rift and disappeared while the Golden Dragon King left Ji Dong and Lie Yan struggling to defend the God Realm Central Hub.

The Golden Dragon King destroyed the God Realm Central Hub with a self-detonation, and the God Realm shattered as the God of Destruction died protecting its gods. On the Douluo Continent, the Life Goddess reunited with Lin Ran after he killed Tang Hao and asked him what was going on with Ah Yin.

• The God of Destruction joined Ji Dong, Lie Yan, and the gods in attacking the Golden Dragon King, then used the Destruction Condensation Fluid against him.
• The Golden Dragon King self-detonated his Godhead of Ruin beside the God Realm Central Hub, destroying the hub and breaking the God Realm into fragments.
• The dying God of Destruction entrusted Ji Dong and Lie Yan with the Seed of Destruction and the Asura Seed, warned them not to let Tang San escape, and asked them to tell Xiao Lu to protect their home.

• Lin Ran told the Life Goddess that he had killed Tang Hao, and she reproached him before asking what was going on with Ah Yin.

Lin Ran learned that the Golden Dragon King had broken free and Tang San had lost his Asura God position, then used the system to obtain Tang San’s Sea God divinity. He began summoning Xiao Wu’s soul to fulfill the transaction that would reveal her location.

• The Life Goddess healed Lin Ran, strengthened her Divine Sense, and hurried back to the God Realm after receiving an urgent message.
• Lin Ran learned that the Golden Dragon King had escaped and Tang San’s Asura God position had been stripped away, then discovered Xiao Wu had fallen into spatial turbulence.
• After the system reported Xiao Wu’s death but confirmed her soul remained, Lin Ran exchanged Tang Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer for a Soul Summoning Platform.
• Lin Ran traded Life Essence with Xiao Wu for part of her divine soul origin and used it to summon her soul, estimating the process would take more than half a year.
• Lin Ran advanced Tang San’s Sea God divinity and received its Seed, with a mission to provide Tang San with Xiao Wu’s location.

Lin Ran used the Soul Summoning Platform to begin retrieving Xiao Wu’s soul and traded away Tang San’s Sea God divinity. Tang San was left adrift in the spatial turbulence, while Lin Ran returned safely to Star Luo City and reunited with his worried companions.

• Lin Ran discovered that the Soul Summoning Platform could also summon living souls, then used Xiao Wu’s divine soul origin to begin pulling her soul toward him.
• Lin Ran advanced Tang San’s Sea God divinity, traded it away, and obtained information that Xiao Wu’s soul would reincarnate on Douluo Continent in a year.
• Tang San lost control of his God Realm fragment when his divinity disappeared, and spatial storms broke the fragment apart.

• Lin Ran returned to Star Luo City, where Wang Qiu’er, Wang Dong’er, Ma Xiaotao, and the others welcomed him and checked that he was unharmed.
• Xu Jiujiu thanked Lin Ran and his companions for protecting Star Luo City, while Lin Ran said Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu were still alive.

After the Star Luo Empire declared Lin Ran’s side the Soul Master Competition champions, Du Busi arrived and learned that Tang San was behind the Holy Spirit Cult. The revelations from the Star Luo City attack spread across the continent, further damaging Shrek Academy’s reputation.

• Du Busi connected Tang San to the Evil Soul Masters’ growth and discussed Shrek Academy’s failures and Yan Shaozhe’s descent from Ye Xishui.
• News of the Star Luo City attack and Shrek Academy’s actions spread across the continent, with several powers fueling the scandal.

Shrek Academy’s Elders confronted the fallout from Xuan Zi’s attack on Lin Ran and planned an apology while preparing for the academy’s possible destruction. Lin Ran and Du Busi then destroyed the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion, but spared Luo Yan and Dai Luoli and repaid their past kindness.

• Lin Hui Qun told the Sea God Pavilion Elders that Xuan Zi had died after attacking Lin Ran, Yan Shaozhe’s origins had damaged the academy’s reputation, and Lin Ran had detained the competition students.
• Elder Song urged Shrek Academy to offer compensation and seek the students’ release, so Lin Hui Qun prepared herbs and soul bones and ordered Xian Lin’er to take Inner Court students overseas as a safeguard.
• Lin Ran asked Du Busi to attack the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion, where Du Busi killed the Duchess, her allies, and the Dai Clan’s main members.
• Lin Ran found Luo Yan and Dai Luoli alive, gave them a pill to repair Dai Luoli’s martial soul defect, and left Luo Yan in charge of the mansion.

Xu Jiawei thanked Lin Ran for defending Star Luo City and offered him treasures and a position in the empire. Before Lin Ran could answer, dozens of strange meteors fell across Douluo Continent, transforming areas around Body College and Shrek Academy.

• Xu Jiawei presented Lin Ran with five treasures and explained the history of the Angel Holy Sword and a mysterious crystal linked to Ma Hongjun.
• The Life Goddess's Divine Sense identified the fiery crystal as the Fire God Source Crystal, which could begin the Fire God's divine trials.

• Lin Ran noticed dozens of colorful meteors descending across Douluo Continent, bringing no destruction but awakening the Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
• A meteor transformed the area behind Body College into a vast forest filled with immortal herbs, new ten-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts, and a towering ancient tree.
• A meteor struck the Golden Ancient Tree, bathing Shrek City in abundant origin power and raising everyone's cultivation by at least one level.

God Realm fragments fell across Douluo Star after the God Realm shattered, enriching the world but creating uncertainty and danger. The Life Goddess left to return to the God Realm after protecting the fragments’ descent, and she entrusted Lin Ran with helping Douluo Star survive the upheaval.

• The Life Goddess told Lin Ran that the God Realm had shattered and charged him with helping Douluo Star withstand the changes ahead.

Lin Ran found Body College overrun by rapidly transformed plant-type soul beasts, then reunited with Huo Yun'er and learned that the teachers and students had survived by gathering in the square. The Fourth Elder revealed that Divine Officials of the Forest of Life had ordered the college to leave within three days, while the Life Goddess explained that many God Realm fragments still held living beings.

• Lin Ran led the Body College members and captured Shrek group through the plant-infested campus, cutting down a fifty-thousand-year Sky Star Vine and turning it into a Soul Spirit.
