• Huo Yuhao realized that his mother was still Huo Yun'er but his father was now Dai Dahe, an ordinary Soul Grandmaster, and he struggled to address him as Dad.

After awakening his Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao questioned his mother about the radically changed Douluo Continent and wondered whether his father-in-law had been reborn. He learned that Shrek Academy was unknown in this world, leaving him anxious about whether he could reunite with Wutong.

• Dai Dahe tried to comfort Huo Yuhao about his low Innate Soul Power, but Huo Yuhao worried that his future might be limited.

After considering that Tang San might have become a god in another world, Huo Yuhao called out to his father-in-law for a sign, while Su Chen and the God of Destruction mocked his behavior from the God Realm.

• Huo Yuhao learned that the Heaven-Human Sect and Spirit Hall existed while Shrek Academy and the empires of his previous life were gone, and he feared Tang San had failed to become a god.

When Dai Dahe offered to take him to the Soul Granting Pagoda for a First Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao refused and criticized the system.

• Huo Yuhao resolved to go to the Star Dou Forest for Brother Sky Dream and hoped he could find Qiu'er there.

• Dai Dahe excitedly offered to take Huo Yuhao to the Soul Granting Pagoda to absorb his First Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao refused the Soul Granting Pagoda, resented its role in replacing ideas he had pursued in his previous life, and left Dai Dahe questioning his refusal.

• Huo Yuhao left a letter for Dai Dahe and set off alone for the Star Dou Forest.
• Su Chen gave the God of Destruction a piece of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm skin, which he used to disguise an ordinary ten-year ice silkworm and send it into the forest.
• Huo Yuhao entered the Star Dou Forest by the route he had taken in his previous life and encountered a Wind Baboon.
• Huo Yuhao struck the Wind Baboon with his Yearning-for-Winter Fist, then killed it with his Dong-Yearning Sword and refused to absorb its Soul Ring.
• After Huo Yuhao waited in vain for Brother Sky Dream, the ground nearby shifted and a large hole appeared.

• Su Chen sent Hu Qianxing to guide Electrolux, who learned about the God Realm’s ranks and decided to restore his weakened soul before exploring.
