Toriya, Yang Xuanmin, and Luo Yinyao accidentally activated a Light Dragon King relic while searching for research scrolls, and Rus Wang was pulled through the resulting spatial shift with them. Stranded in the Extreme North, Rus Wang planned to travel to the Douluo Continent and observe the Sun Moon Empire’s unification while his officials maintained the kingdom’s work.

• Rus Wang told A-Tai to wait while he brought his granddaughter and Elf subordinates, and described how an Elf's Mental Contract with a Titled Douluo could help them reach beyond level one hundred.

• Elion privately criticized the Sun Moon Empire commanders for halting their advance, and the Crimson Fire Dragon explained how it sensed Rus Wang before they recommitted to staying undercover.

• Rus Wang listened as Irwin explained how intelligence passed through Thranduil and Dai Ruoheng helped General Kallen prepare the Star Luo fleet, which destroyed most of the Sun Moon Empire’s South Sea Fleet.
• Irwin reported that the Sun Moon Empire’s East Sea Fleet became trapped by the defenses at the Star Luo port, while its army crossed a river and entered the Star Luo Empire’s heartland on the seventh day of the war.
• Rus Wang dismissed further discussion of the war and asked whether his granddaughters were studying the armor he had brought from Heaven Dou City.
• Irwin said the armor enhanced its wearer but conducted Soul Power less effectively than Dragon Flame Alloy Steel, and Rus Wang explained the trade-offs involved in developing new materials.
• After Irwin left to help test the Battle Armor, Rus Wang read Thranduil’s investigation of Dai Ruoheng and decided to meet her after his trip to the Douluo Continent.

Toriya investigated why human armor’s effects had changed over time and explored whether armor, rare metals, and divine concepts were connected. Irwin’s account of a broken godhood at the Ice God Ruins gave Toriya evidence that godhoods controlled only fragments of a concept, leaving her theory open for further investigation.

• Toriya and Irwin compared armor test results and noticed that the change in Battle Armor’s boost appeared around the time of the Light Dragon King’s sacrifice three years earlier.
• Toriya proposed that anomalous energy around Shrek Academy might relate to Battle Armor’s effectiveness, but rejected the theory after comparing it with Rus Wang’s growth and the continent’s energy patterns.
• Luo Yinyao brought Toriya older armor records, and Toriya theorized that a god with an armor-related godhood had used rare metals to create more armor and gain control over the planet beneath him.
• Toriya asked Irwin about the broken godhood at the Ice God Ruins, and Irwin said it had tempted her to inherit control over ice.
• Irwin concluded that godhoods did not control entire concepts but only cut out and controlled part of them.

The Sun Moon Empire broke through Star Luo defenses on both fronts, while Count Libai and General Kallen discussed the Empire’s dwindling forces and the evacuation of civilians. As Sun Moon infiltrators entered Star Luo City, Libai prepared to exploit their advance and target the enemy’s Limit Douluo.

• Count Libai planned to exploit the enemy’s eagerness to take Star Luo City by luring in its Limit Douluo and killing or gravely wounding him.

Rus Wang abandoned his plans to leave by teleportation and prepared to escort a fleet of captured ships by sea, while Irwin struggled to organize the migration of the Far North’s powerful Soul Beasts to Zheer Continent. The chapter ended with Irwin deciding to capture the bears herself after giving Xiao Bing and A-Tai a few more days to move the Ice Jade Scorpions.

• Irwin gave Xiao Bing and A-Tai a few more days to move the Ice Jade Scorpions, then decided to capture the bears herself.

Rus Wang led the Elf Kingdom’s captured fleet out from the Star Luo Empire toward the Zheer Continent, promising to handle any threats as the ships crossed the deep sea. The fleet encountered hostile sea creatures and rough waters, leaving the sailors on the outer destroyers bracing for danger.

• The navy major general warned Rus Wang that the crews could sail the ships but were not ready to respond quickly to attacks, and Rus Wang said he would handle any threats.
• Toriya, Luo Yinyao, and Yang Xuanmin inspected a Soul Guidance Tugboat’s engine as the fleet prepared to depart.
• The fleet of more than thirty ships set out across the ten-thousand-mile route, with Rus Wang using currents to speed their voyage and storing the tugboats in Soul Guidance Boxes.
• In deep water, Toriya felt resistance against her control of the elements, while Irwin sensed hostile presences below and found her Soul Power suppressed.
• Rus Wang assigned Irwin to help guard the fleet and sent Toriya to rest as the sea began to churn around the ships.
• A Long-range Destroyer lurched violently, and its captain checked the ship’s systems, canceled the hot meal, and ordered the fleet to close ranks.

Rus Wang defeated the Demon Empress with Dragon Clan Secret Techniques and beheaded her, then saved her and brought her to a human medical room. The Demon Empress woke with her Soul Power sealed, while Lan Fozi stood protectively between her and Rus Wang.

• Rus Wang slammed the Demon Empress into the seabed, where she transformed into her Deep Sea Demon Whale form and bit him, but he shattered and tore out her fangs.
• Rus Wang used a weapon and a thousand-zhang tsunami to attack the Demon Empress after taking control of the seawater and surrounding space.
• A voice pleaded for Rus Wang not to kill the Demon Empress, but he cut off her head with a single blow.
• The Demon Empress woke in a human hospital and realized Rus Wang had sewn her head back on and sealed her Soul Power.
• Lan Fozi stood between the Demon Empress and Rus Wang as he entered the medical room with a pointy-eared human.

Rus Wang questioned the Demon Empress about the Holy Spirit Cult and Tang San, then proposed creating a new Divine Realm and assigned her a supervised path to atone for her crimes. After Rus Wang left, the Demon Empress tried to assess Lan Fozi’s education, and her neck began bleeding again.

• Rus Wang told the Demon Empress that Tang San had killed her husband and planned to use her in a divine trial, and explained that the Divine Realm would not notice Douluo Planet for nearly four thousand years.
• The Demon Empress accepted that their actions had disrupted Tang San’s plans and questioned whether they could create a new Divine Realm; Rus Wang showed her an Ice God Divinity fragment and said it could help them forge divine positions.

• Rus Wang left with Irwin, and the Demon Empress asked Lan Fozi what eight times eight was; Lan Fozi could not answer, and her mother’s neck began bleeding again.

• Toriya brought Irwin a meal and learned that an eight-star operative was teaching Lan Fozi basic arithmetic while Irwin guarded the injured Demon Empress.
