The Evil Emperor and the Snow Empress both broke through to eight hundred thousand years, alarming the major forces. Gu Yuena rejected Di Tian’s proposal to attack the Human Clan Altar, while Xu Tianran saw the Soul Beasts’ growing strength as a chance to undermine Shrek Academy.

• The Evil Emperor survived his Heavenly Tribulation, reached eight hundred thousand years, and vowed to make the Human Clan submit to his Mental Power.
• Gu Yuena told Di Tian that the Soul Beast Clan should not attack the Human Clan Altar yet because its immense faith power made it too dangerous to challenge.

• Xu Tianran heard Jing Hongchen report the two breakthroughs and decided to use the Soul Beasts’ growing threat to persuade humans that Shrek Academy could not protect them.

Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen planned to enlist the Evil Emperor against Shrek Academy, while the God Kings investigated a spreading corruption in Douluo Continent’s faith and allowed Tang San to descend as a phantom.

Tang San visited Ah Yin in the Golden Tree and learned that the Human Clan Altar was eroding her origin while destabilizing Douluo Continent’s faith and Plane Origin. He summoned Mu En and Xuan Zi to ask for details about the altar and Starry Sky Auction House, leaving its threat unresolved.

• Tang San descended at Shrek Academy and entered the Golden Tree to meet Ah Yin.

• Tang San explained that deities could not freely interfere in the lower realm and asked Mu En and Xuan Zi to explain the altar’s origins and Starry Sky Auction House.

Tang San learned that the Human Clan Altar collected faith while contaminating Douluo Continent’s Plane Origin, and warned Mu En and Xuan Zi to keep using it cautiously while investigating the Starry Sky Auction House. After promising Ah Yin he would stop the threat, he returned to the God Realm and found four other gods waiting in Poseidon’s Divine Hall.

• Mu En and Xuan Zi told Tang San that the Human Clan Altar gathered human faith and could temporarily boost Soul Masters, but required Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to control it jointly.
• Tang San warned that using the altar could corrode Soul Masters’ souls and contaminate Douluo Continent’s Plane Origin, and Ah Yin confirmed she sensed a devouring force in the altar’s gray threads.

Tang San and the God Kings responded to the Human Clan Altar’s theft of Douluo Continent’s faith by planning a cautious investigation and strengthening the plane’s defenses. Meanwhile, a hidden black-robed man revealed that he was exploiting the altar for a larger plan against Douluo Continent and the God Realm.

Demon Empress reached Rank 100 with help from the Skull Eye and agreed to use the Human Clan Altar to contaminate the Douluo Continent’s Plane Origin while seeking revenge on Tang San.

• Jiang Li suspected outsiders from another plane were behind the scheme and summoned Soul Emperor, sharing the lingering blood-colored aura with him.

Jiang Li learned that Blood Demon and the Demon Empress were conspiring to pollute Douluo Continent’s Plane Origin, but he let them continue after Soul Emperor failed to uncover them. As the pollution worsened, Tang San urged the God Kings to act before the Plane Origin was consumed within a year.

• Jiang Li learned from the System that Blood Demon had joined forces with the Demon Empress to plunder Douluo Continent’s Plane Origin and decided to let them proceed.
• Soul Emperor found Blood Demon and the Demon Empress hiding behind a barrier, but Jiang Li recalled him before he could break through.
• The Demon Empress suspected Soul Emperor was connected to the Starry Sky Auction House, so Blood Demon ordered her to increase the faith offerings and accelerate the pollution.
• Blood Demon and the Demon Empress acted separately, causing the gray currents around the Human Clan Altar to intensify and Douluo Continent’s Soul Power to grow unstable.
• Tang San sensed the worsening Plane Origin pollution and urged the God Kings to prepare to act, warning that the Origin could be consumed within a year.

As Shrek Academy prepared to investigate the Human Clan Altar’s pollution of the Douluo Plane Origin, the Demon Empress went to the Starry Sky Auction House seeking treasures to help her challenge Tang San.

At the Starry Sky Auction House, Zhu Lu won a Ten Thousand Year Shadowcat Soul Bone for five million Gold Soul Coins, and the auction introduced a hundred Soul Crystals that could rapidly increase strength.

The auctioned Soul Crystals sparked fierce bidding among the major factions before Shrek Academy secured them for 10 million Gold Soul Coins. The third lot, a Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Flower that could enhance Mental Power and repair a damaged Sea of Consciousness, drew Huo Yuhao’s attention, and he learned it could benefit both him and Ice Empress.

The auction of the two scrolls began at five million Gold Soul Coins, and Du Busi bid first, hoping they might help him find a path past his Body Martial Soul’s bottleneck.
