Ye Guyi reported the Holy Spirit Cult’s advanced research on converting between tool and beast martial souls, and Ning Que agreed to pursue it. After the two grew closer, Tang San continued searching the God Realm for a soul-skilled god and suspected powerful gods were hiding them.

• Mu En urged Xuan Zi to be cautious, befriend the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and cultivate ties with the descendants of Tang San’s generation.
• Ning Que welcomed the news that Xuan Zi might become Sea God Pavilion Master, believing Shrek Academy could fall into disorder after Mu En was gone.
• Ye Guyi told Ning Que that the Holy Spirit Cult had researched a Soul Sage whose Martial Soul Avatar could become either a tool martial soul or a beast martial soul, and Ning Que said he wanted the research.
• Ning Que told Ye Guyi he would stay in Shrek City before traveling to another continent, and the two spent a day and night together in the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce’s cultivation chamber.
• Tang San failed to find the god skilled in souls and suspected other powerful gods had hidden them.

Tang San considered abandoning his plans on Douluo Continent while he searched for the god watching him, but found that Wang Dong’s divine inheritance and Huo Yuhao’s growing connection to the planet’s consciousness threatened his control. He weighed ways to win Huo Yuhao over, yet could not safely offer him a suitable divine seat and remained wary of the God of Emotion.

• Tang San decided to pause his plans on Douluo Continent until he discovered who was watching him, then checked his arrangements there for a way to recover the situation.
• Tang San saw that Wang Dong had activated the sealed Butterfly God inheritance and feared that manipulating her trials could draw the attention of Destruction and Life.
• Tang San realized Huo Yuhao had emerged unharmed from the Valley of Love Inquiry and connected with Douluo Planet’s Plane Consciousness, putting Tang San’s authority over the seas and faith at risk.
• Tang San considered offering Huo Yuhao a first-class divine seat but rejected the Sea God seat as the foundation of his power and found the other available seats unsuitable.
• Tang San grew suspicious that the God of Emotion was the god watching him and decided he could not scheme against him before learning the truth.

Tang San decided to use the Sea God’s divine position as bait to control Huo Yuhao while refusing to pass it down. At Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan sought Ning Que’s advice about Xuan Zi becoming Sea God Pavilion master and resolved to uphold her principles even if she clashed with him.

• Tang San considered giving Huo Yuhao the Asura God’s position, then chose to offer the Sea God’s position as bait while planning to destroy the remnant soul within Huo Yuhao.

• Ning Que urged Zhang Lexuan to pursue her convictions, and she resolved not to yield to Xuan Zi or beg him to stay again.

Gongyang Mo visited Ning Que and explained why he had chosen a quiet life with his wife rather than join him. Ning Que then brought Mu En to the Undead Semi-Plane, revealed his plan to create a god through Soul Spirits, and left Mu En to begin a two-year transformation into a powerful light-attribute undead.

• Gongyang Mo visited Ning Que, introduced his wife, and shared stories from his life after leaving Shrek Academy.

• Mu En summoned Ning Que, who took him from Shrek City to the Undead Semi-Plane.
• Ning Que explained Soul Spirits and his plan to use their faith to help Electrolux become a god again, and Mu En understood Ning Que's purpose.
• Electrolux explained that preserving Mu En's cultivation and giving him a new light-attribute undead body would take about two years, and Mu En chose that transformation.

Ning Que handled the choices of Mu En and Qian Duoduo while preparing for the coming war. After learning the Sun Moon Empire might attack by the end of the month, he arranged for Yang Duo and Cai Mei'er to leave Douluo Continent, leaving the war’s next moves uncertain.

• Mu En asked Ning Que to look after Bei Bei before Electrolux took him away to transform him into an undead creature.
• Qian Duoduo visited Ning Que with his family after Xuan Zi pressured him to merge his academy into Shrek Academy, and Ning Que’s remarks helped him decide to refuse.
• Ning Que told Yang Duo and Cai Mei'er to go to another continent until he called them back.
• Ning Que revealed that the Sun Moon Empire was ready and would likely begin the war by the end of the month.
• Cai Mei'er agreed to leave with Yang Duo, and they decided to prepare at once.

The Sun Moon Empire launched its invasion and crushed Dai Hao’s forces, leaving Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei to decide whether to flee or resist. Xu Jiawei asked Ning Que to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the war, but Ning Que refused full participation.

• Xu Tianran ordered Kong Deming to support the war, and Kong Deming agreed while planning to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The Sun Moon Empire attacked the Star Luo Empire, and Dai Hao prepared his legion to meet the invasion.
• The Sun Moon Empire defeated Dai Hao, destroyed more than half his legion, and forced him to surrender vast territories and retreat.
• Xu Jiawei considered evacuating the Star Crown Lineage and civilians, but decided to remain in Star Luo as its emperor.
• Xu Jiawei contacted Ning Que to ask for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s help, and Ning Que said the sect would not fully participate.

Ning Que secured a limited alliance with Xu Jiawei while warning him that Shrek Academy could not be relied upon. Meanwhile, he watched Shrek’s internal tensions grow and urged Bei Bei to move the nascent Tang Sect somewhere safer before the invasion reached the academy.

• Ning Que agreed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would protect the Star Crown Lineage from destruction, and Xu Jiawei accepted the deal in exchange for information.
• Ning Que told Xu Jiawei that Shrek Academy’s situation was worse than he expected, leaving Xu Jiawei furious and doubtful that the academy would help against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xuan Zi’s appointment as a Sea God Pavilion elder intensified Shrek Academy’s internal conflicts, even though he had followed Mu En’s instructions without making a mistake.
• Ning Que told Bei Bei to have Xiao Ya move the newly formed Tang Sect to a remote place so it could survive if the Sun Moon Empire broke through the defenses.

Ning Que taught Bei Bei the Summoning Magic Array and let him reunite with Mu En, who believed the lesson would eventually let him protect Bei Bei and Shrek Academy. Afterward, Bei Bei attended a Sea God Pavilion meeting where Xuan Zi asked whether Shrek Academy should aid Star Luo against the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion.

• Bei Bei hesitated over Ning Que’s suggestion to separate the Tang Sect’s and Shrek Academy’s responsibilities, and said he would discuss it with Xiao Ya.
• Ning Que taught Bei Bei the Summoning Magic Array, which took three days for Bei Bei to memorize.
• Ning Que summoned Mu En’s soul, and Bei Bei tearfully reunited with his Profound Ancestor.
• Ning Que told Mu En that Bei Bei could complete the summoning magic and help protect him, and Mu En thanked Ning Que before disappearing.
• Xuan Zi convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting and explained that Emperor Xu Jiawei had asked Shrek Academy to help resist the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion.
• Bei Bei broke the meeting’s silence and urged everyone to follow Xuan Zi’s plan.

Zhang Lexuan opposed Xuan Zi’s proposal to send Shrek’s Inner Court disciples into the war against the Sun Moon Empire, arguing that the academy’s dangerous missions already cost too many promising students. She left Xuan Zi sharply rebuked, while the question of Shrek Academy’s role in the invasion remained unresolved.

• Bei Bei supported Xuan Zi, who proposed changing Inner Court missions from hunting Evil Soul Masters to fighting the Sun Moon Empire.
• Zhang Lexuan objected, backed by her growing influence among students and elders who supported her efforts to reform Shrek Academy.
• Xuan Zi angrily challenged Zhang Lexuan and asked whether she wanted the academy to refuse involvement in the war.
• Elder Zhuang warned Zhang Lexuan that it was too early to argue that Shrek Academy should stay out of the conflict.
• Zhang Lexuan cited the Inner Court’s high death and injury rates and condemned Xuan Zi for risking another generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Zhang Lexuan, Bei Bei, and Xuan Zi clashed over whether Shrek Academy should send students to the battlefield, leaving the Sea God Pavilion meeting without a decision. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Du Busi set out to hunt the Evil Emperor, while Tang San planned to exploit Huo Yuhao’s divine trials.

• Zhang Lexuan rejected Xuan Zi’s proposal to send students to the battlefield and said she would tell them Shrek Academy had more than one voice.
• Bei Bei sided with Zhang Lexuan and volunteered to represent Shrek Academy on the front lines, prompting Xuan Zi to storm out.
• The Sea God Pavilion meeting ended without a resolution, and Ning Que was pleased that his plan seemed to need only a slight push.
• Huo Yuhao, now at rank 90, prepared to hunt the Evil Emperor with help from both Electroluxes and Du Busi, who had become a Limit Douluo.
• Tang San agreed to pretend he would pass down the Sea God’s divine position so he could manipulate Huo Yuhao during the divine trials.

Tang San discovered that Wang Dong had awakened the Butterfly God's inheritance and ordered Ning Rongrong to put her through Huo Yuhao's trial so he could control her. Wang Dong survived the torment but emerged nearly mad, and her love for Huo Yuhao remained an anchor that could turn her hatred toward her tormentors.

• Tang San realized that Wang Dong had awakened the Butterfly God's recognition after his divine consciousness and origin were refined, leaving her as Tang Wutong without her old memories.
• Tang San decided to use Huo Yuhao's trial on Wang Dong and asked Ning Rongrong to carry it out, claiming the hardship would help his daughter grow.
• Ning Rongrong reluctantly subjected Wang Dong to every method prepared for Huo Yuhao in the Valley of Love Inquiry.
• Wang Dong survived the ordeal but showed signs of madness, and Ning Rongrong released her from the valley.
• Tang San's plan left Wang Dong's love for Huo Yuhao intact, giving her an anchor and deepening her hatred of those who had tormented her.

After Huo Yuhao reached Rank 94 by turning the Evil Emperor into a Soul Spirit, Tang San offered him the Sea God’s inheritance trial. Huo Yuhao agreed only after Electrolux advised him to demand strict safeguards, leaving Tang San stunned by the conditions.

• Huo Yuhao and his allies defeated the Evil Emperor, and Huo Yuhao converted him into a soul ring that raised his cultivation to Rank 94.
• Tang San offered Huo Yuhao the Sea God’s inheritance trial, but Huo Yuhao cautiously asked whether he was guaranteed to pass.
• Tang San tempted Huo Yuhao with the chance to explore a wider world and resurrect his mother after Huo Yuhao refused in favor of his teacher’s plan.
• Electrolux advised Huo Yuhao to accept only if Tang San promised a fair, public trial with rules and the right to withdraw.
• Huo Yuhao demanded those safeguards and a Sea God oath, leaving Tang San completely stunned.

Tang San tried to persuade Huo Yuhao to inherit the Sea God’s divine position, but Huo Yuhao rejected him and accused him of being an evil god. Unable to force a trial where they stood, Tang San decided to have Sea God Island’s Title Douluo and Daming bring Huo Yuhao back to the island.

• Tang San suppressed his anger and again urged Huo Yuhao to accept the Sea God’s inheritance, but Huo Yuhao questioned his motives and refused.
• Huo Yuhao cited Shrek Academy’s records and his family’s suffering to argue that Tang San might be the God of Evil or a remnant of the God of Rakshasa.
• Tang San weighed abandoning his plan, giving up the Sea God’s position, and targeting Rong Nianbing, but he remained uncertain.
• When Huo Yuhao prepared to leave, Tang San decided to force him to undergo the divine trials, then realized he could not initiate them in their current location.
• Tang San decided to mobilize Sea God Island’s Title Douluo and Daming to take Huo Yuhao back to Sea God Island.

Tang San ordered Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect to seize Huo Yuhao, prompting Shrek Academy to deploy its forces and join the war. Ning Que learned from Electrolux that Huo Yuhao had refused the Sea God inheritance and realized the mobilized forces were moving to take him by force.

• Tang San ordered Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect to send their Title Douluo after Huo Yuhao.
• Xuan Zi led Shrek Academy’s senior forces to the border battlefield, believing the Sea God had become disappointed in them.
• Ning Que questioned Zhang Lexuan and checked with Ye Guyi, then waited in the Undead Semi-Plane for Electrolux to return.
• Electrolux told Ning Que that Huo Yuhao had refused Tang San’s offer of the Sea God’s divine position and that Tang San would act again.
• Ning Que realized Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect had mobilized to force Huo Yuhao to accept the inheritance.

Ning Que warned Huo Yuhao and Elder Yi to avoid Tang San’s forces while Huo Yuhao grew stronger, and they evaded two attempts to capture him. Tang San realized Huo Yuhao might become the Plane Master and resolved to act quickly, relying on Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao’s mother as leverage.

• Ning Que told Elder Yi to warn Huo Yuhao and avoid confronting the God Realm’s forces directly.
• Elder Yi persuaded his younger self and Huo Yuhao to flee, so the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island forces found their destination empty.
• Tang San located Huo Yuhao using measures he had previously placed on him, but Elder Yi escaped with Huo Yuhao and Du Busi through a prepared teleportation array.
• Tang San concluded that Huo Yuhao was guarding against him and might become the Plane Master, disrupting his plans for the Douluo Plane.
• Tang San resolved to act and relied on Wang Dong’s changed state and his custody of Huo Yuhao’s mother to keep Huo Yuhao under control.

The Shrek Academy forces realized Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect would not join the war, while Ning Que learned Huo Yuhao had received a divine trial and broke through to Rank 90. Elder Yi then offered to help the Golden Tree escape its restraints, leaving it astonished by the possibility.

• Shrek Academy's forces waited in vain for Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect, and Xuan Zi hesitated when a teacher urged him to retreat from the battlefield.
• Ning Que received Huo Yuhao's message that the God of Emotion had opened a divine trial for him.
• Ning Que broke through to Rank 90 and continued researching spiritual power and Soul Tools while preparing to help the Demon Empress gain a second martial soul.
• Ning Que asked Elder Yi whether he could persuade the Golden Tree, and Elder Yi said he could resolve the formations binding it without Tang San noticing.
• Elder Yi summoned the Golden Tree to the Undead Semi-Plane and offered to free it from its shackles, leaving it stunned.

Electrolux offered the Golden Tree three ways to escape the Sea God's restraints, and the Golden Tree chose to leave an empty shell at Shrek Academy while moving his true body into the Undead Semi-Plane. Meanwhile, Ning Que’s plans advanced for Ye Guyi’s divine inheritance and for locating the Rakshasa Secret Realm.

• Electrolux gave the Golden Tree three options: become master of the Undead Semi-Plane, travel to the God Realm through Ye Guyi, or wait until he could break free completely.
• After Electrolux said Ye Guyi had an eighty percent chance of reaching the God Realm, the Golden Tree chose the first option.
• Ning Que and Jing Hongchen studied Soul Tools in the Undead Semi-Plane while Mu En remained asleep, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect stayed out of the conflict as Ye Guyi hunted Evil Soul Masters.
• Ye Xishui and the Demon Empress secretly absorbed power from the battlefield, while Ye Xishui used Elder Yi’s item to strengthen herself and nurture a trace of the Rakshasa God’s aura.
• Elder Yi planned to use that aura to locate the Rakshasa Secret Realm, while Ye Guyi’s Angel inheritance still depended on becoming a god and breaking through the God Realm’s barrier.

Ning Que watched the Sun Moon Empire prepare a decisive assault, hoping the growing death and despair would strengthen the Rakshasa God Position. As Xu Jiawei arranged an evacuation and chose to remain with the Star Luo Empire, Ning Que considered saving him before the offensive began.

• Ning Que hoped the Rakshasa God could challenge the Asura God King and watched the invasion war as negative energy accumulated.
• Xu Jiawei decided to send his people out through the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's channels while staying behind to die with the Star Luo Empire.
• Xu Jiawei arranged for Zhang Lexuan and the other young Shrek members to leave, but kept Xuan Zi and the White Tiger Duke's lineage on the battlefield.
• Xu Jiawei asked Ning Que to protect his younger sister and the Star Crown Lineage, and Ning Que promised to do so.
• After speaking with Xu Jiawei, Ning Que considered turning him into an undead creature to manage the Undead Semi-Plane and contacted Guyi.
• The Sun Moon Empire launched a large-scale offensive to break the Star Luo Empire's defenses.

The Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tools overwhelmed the Star Luo Empire’s defenses, and Xu Jiawei, Xuan Zi, Elder Song, and Dai Hao faced the consequences of the devastating bombardment. Xuan Zi fled while Elder Song sacrificed herself to break the enemy formation, and Dai Hao prepared to remain on the battlefield as he sent Dai Yueheng away.

• Xu Jiawei and the Star Luo Empire’s Title Douluo unleashed their powers against the Sun Moon Empire’s all-out artillery assault, while Xu Jiawei’s deployment left Shrek Academy and the White Tiger Duke’s forces under especially heavy fire.
• Xuan Zi was severely injured by a Rank 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon and chose to flee rather than risk dying or stay to protect Shrek Academy’s forces.
• Elder Song condemned Xuan Zi for abandoning his people and ordered the others to leave before she detonated her Soul Core, killing many enemies and tearing open the Sun Moon Empire’s formation.
• Dai Hao told Dai Yueheng to escape with his wife so the White Tiger Lineage could continue, then declared that he would die on the battlefield rather than flee.
