The chapter left Skywater Academy poised for a new beginning as a powerful, independent force.

• Shen Hanyu assessed the continent’s powers, noting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s weakening ties with the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall’s more restrained conduct under Qian Daoliu’s influence.

• The Heaven Dou Imperial Family sent a letter signed by Xue Qinghe asking for Princess Xue Ke to attend Skywater Academy.
• Shen Hanyu and Shui Ningbing agreed to accept Xue Ke, hoping Qian Renxue would spare her after taking over Heaven Dou Empire.

Qian Renxue escorted Xue Ke from the imperial capital to Skywater Academy, hoping to free her from the restrictions of royal life. In Element City, Xue Ke was warmly welcomed by Shui Ningbing and the other academy leaders, while an unfamiliar yet familiar voice reached Qian Renxue.

Shen Hanyu realized that Rakshasa Divine Power hidden in the blood energy from Slaughter City had intensified the violent influence of the Asura Divine Power and briefly clouded his judgment. In the God Realm, the Asura God revealed that a strand of Fate Power bestowed on Tang San made him difficult to dispose of, leaving the Sea God stunned.

• After Shen Hanyu left, Shui Bing'er and the others read his report about Shrek Academy and suspected that it had caught his attention for an important reason.
• Shui Ningbing reassured the girls, while You Mengchu returned to Element City and Shui Ningbing hurriedly left.

• The Sea God challenged the Asura God over his plans for Shen Hanyu, Tang San, Rakshasa, and the Angel God.
• The Asura God said he favored Shen Hanyu but could not simply have Tang San killed because he had given Tang San a strand of Fate Power obtained through the Creator God's lingering might.

Shen Hanyu explained to the girls why Tang San and Shrek Academy were tied to a struggle over fate, then spent seven days removing the Rakshasa Divine Power from himself. He planned to take the Ice God Trial with Snow Empress before pursuing the Asura God Trial, while the others awakened and enjoyed life in the human world.

• Shen Hanyu gathered the girls in Element City and explained that Tang San was the son of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Hao, retained memories of a past life, and was destined to become a god.

• Shen Hanyu secluded himself for seven days and removed the Rakshasa Divine Power, sealing it inside the blue bead in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Shen Hanyu told Tian Meng that he and Snow Empress would take the Ice God Trial in the Far North before pursuing the Asura God Trial.
• Shen Hanyu found Hai Xi glaring at Snow Empress while Shuang Ying shared pastries with Ice Empress, and Tian Meng joined Ice Empress after the others awakened and formed bodies.

• Snow Empress greeted Shen Hanyu affectionately while Ice Empress rejected Tian Meng’s request to take human form.
• Hai Xi complained that Snow Empress had stepped on her face, then tried to persuade Shen Hanyu to join her against Snow Empress; Snow Empress carried Hai Xi into the house.
• Shui Yue'er, Shen Liuyu, Shui Bing'er, and the other girls arrived from Element City with bags.
• Shui Bing'er collided with Shen Hanyu, who caught her and the bags, then instinctively rubbed her head.
• Shui Bing'er touched her hot cheeks and ears in the kitchen, growing shy as she recalled Shen Hanyu’s gesture.

Skywater Academy opened enrollment for new students and teachers, drawing crowds to its recruitment assessments. By dusk, more than five hundred students had passed and two Soul Kings had begun teacher training, while Shui Ningbing ordered the academy to focus on enrollment and security.

• Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress watched the enrollment crowds gather outside Skywater Academy as Xu Yan and Xu Shuishui explained the procedures.

Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress returned to the Far North to continue refining their divine trials, but discovered a mysterious source of energy beneath the Core Circle. They left the palace to investigate the disturbance before it could drain the region of energy.

• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress left Skywater Academy for the Far North, and Xiao Bai joined them.
• Snow Empress returned to her palace in the Core Circle and reunited with Shen Hanyu.
• The next morning, Snow Empress told Shen Hanyu that powerful energy fluctuations had been disturbing the ground beneath the Core Circle.
• Shen Hanyu probed beneath the frozen earth with his Mental Power but could not determine what was there because the energy interfered with his senses and drew in surrounding energy.
• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress agreed to investigate the hidden source before it made the Core Circle barren.

Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress discovered a hidden space left behind by the Ice God beneath the frozen earth. There, the Ice God’s lost divine sword fused with Shen Hanyu’s inheritance bead and entered his Sea of Consciousness, still damaged and in need of restoration.

• Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress bored through the frozen earth and descended into a vast underground chamber.
• The pair found an altar and recognized the familiar aura of the Ice God’s inheritance bead resonating with a blue light.
• The Snow Empress identified the chamber as a space left behind by the Ice God as its blue energy pillar pierced through the frozen earth.
• Shen Hanyu recognized the damaged sword on the altar as the Ice God’s lost divine artifact, or a weapon closely connected to the Ice God.
• The inheritance bead fused with the broken sword, and the sword entered Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness to absorb energy and heal its injuries.

Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness transformed into a stable Spiritual Inner World after the battered divine artifact and a vast supply of Life Aura fueled its evolution. He and the Snow Empress explored the new world, where she recognized the Ice God Sword, while Shen Hanyu considered how to obtain more Life Gold for Xiao Nian.

• Shen Hanyu’s Sea of Consciousness became solid and fertile as a lake formed and Life Gold released Life Aura throughout it.
• Shen Hanyu focused his Mental Power while the Snow Empress watched, and his Sea of Consciousness completed its evolution into a stable world.
• Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress appeared on the grasslands of the Spiritual Inner World and walked beside its enormous lake.
• Shen Hanyu explained that the world’s laws remained incomplete and suggested returning to the Star Dou Great Forest for Life Gold to support Xiao Nian.
• Shen Hanyu drew the Ice God Sword and split the lake with a slash, then restored the water as the Snow Empress took the sword and identified it.

Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress released Little Phoenix, Ice God's former mount, from the Ice God Sword and learned about her past and strength. Little Phoenix explained Ice God's God Trial and offered Shen Hanyu a way to fuse the divine artifacts with his first Martial Soul, potentially turning it into a Super Divine Artifact.

• Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress sensed a hidden presence in the Ice God Sword, and Shen Hanyu's energy freed Little Phoenix from within it.
• Little Phoenix told Shen Hanyu that Ice God had sealed her inside the sword before dying, and that she had been trapped there for ages.
• Snow Empress warned Little Phoenix to stop nuzzling Shen Hanyu, but Little Phoenix insisted that Shen Hanyu was her new Master and hid behind him.
• Little Phoenix revealed that she had once reached the strength of a Second-level God, though the Douluo Plane suppressed her to Limit Douluo level.
• Little Phoenix said she did not know whether Ice God was still alive and explained that Ice God's God Trial mattered less than the pearl's choice of Shen Hanyu.
• Little Phoenix suggested refining the Ice God Sword and pearl and fusing their origins with Shen Hanyu's first Martial Soul to transform it into a divine artifact, possibly even a Super Divine Artifact.
