After killing Li Hun, Dai Tu completed the first trials of the Goddesses of Life and Destruction and reached level thirty. He asked Long Aotian to help him obtain soul rings, explaining that he wanted to gain healing abilities for the sect while keeping his two martial souls balanced.

• Dai Tu used Kamui: Distortion repeatedly to kill Li Hun, then received power from the Marks of Life and Destruction as both first trials were completed and his first soul ring evolved into a thousand-year ring.
• Long Aotian checked on Dai Tu, and they left the ancestral hall after Long Aotian said he would notify the Heaven Dou City guards.

Dai Tu asked Du Busi to let him challenge a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his third ring, and Du Busi agreed after hearing his reasons. Long Aotian revealed he had also reached Rank 60, so the two planned to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest together under Du Busi’s protection.

Du Busi led Long Aotian and Dai Tu through the Star Dou Great Forest to seek soul beasts, but they encountered a Shrek Academy group led by the powerful Elder Xuan. Dai Tu recognized his half-brother Dai Yueheng among them and struggled to contain his hatred as the group gathered in the scorched clearing.

• Dai Tu and Long Aotian found an Emerald Spirit Deer grazing in a flower-filled clearing.

Dai Tu obtained a powerful group-healing soul skill from an Emerald Spirit Deer, then continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest with Long Aotian in search of suitable soul beasts. The chapter ended as Dai Tu recognized the golden beast pursuing a fifty-thousand-year Shadow Demon Tiger as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared before Shrek’s group after terrifying a fifty-thousand-year Shadow Demon Wolf to death. Dai Yueheng chose it as his target and was badly injured by a single paw strike, prompting Xuan Zi to unleash his Super Douluo power as the beast faced the group.

• A wounded Shadow Demon Wolf stumbled into the clearing and died after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion crushed its head.
• Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and Xuan Zi recognized the golden beast as unusually powerful, and Dai Yueheng claimed it as his soul ring target.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion focused on the place where Dai Tu and Long Aotian had vanished, seeming confused that their traces were gone.
• Dai Yueheng attacked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which repelled him with one paw and embedded him in a tree with severe injuries.
• Xuan Zi unleashed his Rank 98 Super Douluo pressure and prepared to attack, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared uneasily.

• Black flames suddenly engulfed Dai Yueheng's right hand, disrupting his attack and driving his tiger claw into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's abdomen.

• Du Busi called Long Aotian and Dai Tu over, then explained that Dai Tu could try to heal the beast.
• Dai Tu used his Tree of Life Martial Soul’s Life Eulogy on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and her golden eyes opened to meet his.

Dai Tu used his Life Eulogy soul skill to save the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, whose injuries began to stabilize as a mysterious power of destiny stirred within her. Beast God Di Tian arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving Dai Tu and his companions facing an overwhelming presence.

• Dai Tu healed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's wounds, and she awoke and licked his hand in gratitude.
• Long Aotian and Du Busi marveled at Dai Tu's healing, while Dai Tu sensed that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's deeper injuries still needed treatment.
• Dai Tu felt a powerful force awakening within the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and suspected it was the power of destiny.
• The sky and forest plunged into supernatural darkness as Scarlet King recognized Lord Di Tian's arrival.
• Du Busi shielded Dai Tu and Long Aotian as Di Tian emerged from a rift, revealing himself as the Beast God and ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian confronted the Shrek group after learning they had injured the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and he punished them before allowing them to leave. He left Xuan Zi alive with a warning and crippled Dai Yueheng by cutting off his right arm and left leg.

• Di Tian learned from Scarlet King that Dai Yueheng had severely wounded the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and that Du Busi and Dai Tu had saved her.
• Di Tian dragged Xuan Zi and the fleeing Shrek students back to the clearing and rejected Xuan Zi's offer of compensation.
• Di Tian struck Xuan Zi with the Dragon God Claw, severely wounding him, then ordered Shrek Academy to stay out of the Star Dou Great Forest for a year.

Di Tian spared Dai Tu and his companions after Dai Tu saved the Auspicious Beast, then learned that Dai Tu's Tree of Life Martial Soul surpassed even Bi Ji's life level. He ended the old feud with the Body Sect and arranged soul beasts for Dai Tu and Long Aotian, leaving Scarlet King to fetch three candidates alive.

• Di Tian drove Ma Xiaotao and the others from the clearing, and they carried away the unconscious Dai Yueheng and injured Xuan Zi.
• Di Tian acknowledged his debt to Dai Tu for saving the Auspicious Beast, and Bi Ji discovered that Dai Tu's Tree of Life Martial Soul had an extraordinary life level.
• Du Busi protected Dai Tu's secrets, and Di Tian agreed not to pry as long as they did not threaten the Star Dou Great Forest or the Auspicious Beast.
• Di Tian erased the old grudge between the Star Dou Great Forest and the Body Sect, and Du Busi celebrated the new understanding.
• Di Tian ordered Scarlet King to bring three suitable soul beasts alive for Long Aotian's sixth ring and Dai Tu's third ring.

Di Tian arranged for Scarlet King to bring Dai Tu and Long Aotian powerful soul beasts to absorb, partly as an investment in Dai Tu’s Tree of Life Martial Soul. Dai Tu gained two new soul skills and rose to level thirty-six, while Long Aotian began absorbing a Dark Gold Bear’s soul ring.

• Di Tian explained that helping the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was worth the soul beasts and that he saw Dai Tu’s Tree of Life as a potential benefit to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Scarlet King returned with a fifty-three-thousand-year Dark Gold Bear, an eighteen-thousand-year Three-Tailed Illusion Fox, and a fifteen-thousand-year Emerald Spirit Deer.

• Dai Tu absorbed the Emerald Spirit Deer’s soul ring, rose to level thirty-six, and gained the Tree of Life’s third soul skill, Deep Forest Emergence.

Dai Tu and Long Aotian completed their soul-ring breakthroughs, but as they prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave Dai Tu her Eye of Destiny. The gift showed him a vision of Konoha’s destruction and left the Auspicious Beast weakened.

• Dai Tu tested his third soul skill, Flower Tree World, while Long Aotian absorbed a fifty-thousand-year soul ring and advanced to Rank 63.
• Du Busi praised Dai Tu’s rise to Rank 36, and Di Tian told the group to leave so the Auspicious Beast could recover.
• As Dai Tu and the others turned to go, the injured Three-Eyed Golden Lion struggled over and pressed her forehead against Dai Tu’s.
• Dai Tu received the Eye of Destiny and saw visions of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s ancestor and Konoha’s ruin, including Arin’s death.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion collapsed, weakened by the gift, while a third eye appeared between Dai Tu’s brows.

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shared half of her Eye of Destiny with Dai Tu, Di Tian warned him that their fates were bound together, and Du Busi led his disciples away from the Star Dou Great Forest. On the road back to Heaven Dou City, Du Busi questioned what the Body Sect’s strength and imposing conduct could actually achieve.

• Di Tian accepted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s choice to share the Eye of Destiny with Dai Tu and warned Dai Tu that their lives and fates were linked.
• Du Busi took Dai Tu and Long Aotian away, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fell asleep in Di Tian’s arms.
• Du Busi reassured Dai Tu that he would stand by him as his teacher and a member of the Body Sect.
• On the road to Heaven Dou City, Long Aotian praised the Body Sect’s strength, but Dai Tu only said Du Busi had been imposing.
• Du Busi reflected on his confrontation with Xuan Zi and asked whether being imposing could put food on the table.

Du Busi explained that the Body Sect faced a crisis because it lacked disciples, resources, and a consistent inheritance while Soul Tools rapidly changed the world. Dai Tu proposed that the sect embrace Soul Tools without abandoning its core values, and Du Busi welcomed the idea.

• Du Busi contrasted the Body Sect’s 307 disciples and scant resources with Shrek Academy’s large enrollment and deep inheritance.
• Du Busi warned Long Aotian and Dai Tu that Soul Tools were changing the era and that the Body Sect risked falling behind.
• Dai Tu recalled the sect’s future decline and urged Du Busi to embrace Soul Tools.
• Dai Tu proposed combining Soul Tools with Body Martial Souls, establishing a research department, recruiting experts, and sending disciples to study in the Sun Moon Empire.
• Dai Tu told Long Aotian that the sect’s foundation was its Body Martial Souls, family, and mutual support, not rejection of new ideas.
• Du Busi smiled with relief and approval at Dai Tu’s proposal.

Du Busi agreed to have the Body Sect study Soul Tools and learned that Dai Tu’s younger half-brother, Huo Yuhao, was at Shrek Academy. Dai Tu persuaded him to wait until Huo Yuhao gained his second martial soul in about half a year, intending to bring him to the Body Sect and turn him against the family he hated.

• Du Busi decided the Body Sect would begin studying Soul Tools and asked Dai Tu to recommend someone who could help.
• Dai Tu named his younger half-brother Huo Yuhao, whose Spirit Eye was a Body Martial Soul and who was studying at Shrek Academy.
• Du Busi wanted to take Huo Yuhao from Shrek immediately, but Dai Tu convinced him that Huo Yuhao needed more training there first.
• Dai Tu said he intended to pull Huo Yuhao away from the path of forgiving the White Tiger Duke Mansion and believed his Soul Tool talent could help revive the Body Sect.
• Du Busi agreed to wait until Huo Yuhao became stronger, and Dai Tu estimated that would take about half a year, when Huo Yuhao would obtain his second martial soul.

Dai Tu resolved to complete his first three God Trials, strengthen himself, and save Huo Yuhao from his fate before God King Tang noticed him. At Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong unexpectedly began a powerful martial soul fusion.

• Du Busi promised to gather Soul Tool manuals and prepare resources for Huo Yuhao, while Long Aotian assured Dai Tu that the Body Sect would protect him and his little brother.
• Dai Tu decided he had half a year to complete three God Trials, reach at least four rings, and help Huo Yuhao escape his predetermined fate before they took revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
• Unable to sleep, Huo Yuhao sensed Wang Dong suffering in his bed and pulled back the curtains to find him trembling and surrounded by unstable pink-blue light.
• Huo Yuhao touched Wang Dong's shoulder, and a suction force pulled him onto Wang Dong, bringing their foreheads and noses together.
• Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye awakened by itself as pink-blue and pale golden lights merged, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recognized their near-perfect martial soul fusion.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s attempted martial soul fusion was interrupted by an unknown power, leaving them confused and frightened by memories and influences they could not explain. In the God Realm, Tang San discovered that Huo Yuhao’s fate had become impossible for him to read.

• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong nearly fused their martial souls, but a higher-level power abruptly cut off the pink-blue and golden energy.
• Wang Dong told Huo Yuhao that she felt controlled and had acquired fragmented memories urging her to trust him and bind herself to him.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong questioned who they really were, unable to explain what had happened between them.
• Tang San recalled that he had expected Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao’s first intimate contact to trigger a powerful fusion and bind their destinies.
• Tang San investigated the failed fusion with his divine power but found only a haze that obscured Huo Yuhao’s fate.
