• Long Yaochen told Ice Empress that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was alive inside Huo Yuhao and planned to make her a Wisdom Soul Ring as part of his God Creation Plan.
• Ice Empress questioned why she should trust Long Yaochen, so he revealed his Blazing Golden White Dragon and a second aura of Divinity.

Long Xiaoyao announced he wanted to arrange engagements for Long Yaochen, and Xuan Zi ended the chapter convinced Mu En had defected after learning Long Xiaoyao was no longer Shrek’s enemy.

Over eight months, Long Yaochen balanced cultivation with Zhang Lexuan’s growing closeness, Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire suppression, and the Ice Empress’s demands. After finally reaching Rank 40, he returned to the dorm and found Wang Dong gone, leaving a note that she had gone home because something came up.

• Long Yaochen repeatedly defeated Dai Huabin, while Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao increasingly sought his company and Wang Dong grew jealous.

• Long Yaochen broke through to Rank 40, then returned from Zhang Lexuan’s office to find Wang Dong’s belongings gone and a note saying she had gone home because something came up.

Long Yaochen absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, but the Divinity within him began to overflow and put his life on a countdown. He used Prayer Light to protect the group from the poisonous miasma, and Long Xiaoyao led them toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at full speed.

• Long Xiaoyao stopped the group at the outer edge of the poisonous miasma and ordered Long Yaochen to absorb the Earth King's Soul Ring.

• Long Xiaoyao used Dark Dragon Might and a Dark Dragon Claw to break through the poisonous flowers and vines as he led the group through the miasma.
• Long Yaochen, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan entered the valley and saw the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well surrounded by rich life energy and exotic herbs.

• Zhang Lexuan asked whether the Immortal Herbs could heal Mu En, and Long Yaochen said they could not cure the root cause unless a god was involved.
• Long Xiaoyao told the group to move on before Long Yaochen became a god first.

Long Yaochen demanded that the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well provide ingredients and source essence for his ritual, while Long Xiaoyao used overwhelming force to make Youyou comply. Youyou agreed to help find the Aromatic Silk Beauty and Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and summoned the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

• Long Yaochen recognized Youyou as the Aromatic Silk Beauty and learned that Tang San had left a trial for those seeking the Immortal Herbs.
• Long Yaochen rejected the trial and demanded the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Aromatic Silk Beauty, and source essence from Youyou, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

• Long Xiaoyao released the Dark Sacred Dragon's power, subdued the valley's plants, and threatened to destroy them unless they handed over what Long Yaochen wanted.

With his Divinity becoming impossible to suppress, he prepared to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well despite warnings that he would die.

• Long Yaochen demanded Blazing Glue, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal, and Aromatic Silk Beauty Elixir from the Immortal Herbs, and they reluctantly handed them over along with two more herbs.

• Youyou and the others warned Long Yaochen that entering the well would kill him, but he insisted there was no other way and reaffirmed that he had chosen this path.
• Long Yaochen swept a finger across his brow, releasing an emerald-green flash and a sudden chill across the shore.

Long Yaochen entered the Ice and Fire Spring with the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion soul bone and endured the opposing forces of extreme cold and heat as Electrolux lifted the seal on the divinity within him. The divine power began consuming his memories and consciousness while his tower of spirit collapsed, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Long Yaochen prepared to enter the spring as Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan began consuming their chosen immortal herbs, and Long Xiaoyao urged him to drag the god down.

• The divine power began erasing Long Yaochen's memories and urging him to abandon human attachments, while he resisted and his consciousness weakened.
• Long Yaochen's Tower of Heaven began collapsing as golden flames spread through the ruins of his Sea of Spirit.

• A pillar of golden light erupted from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, pierced the poisonous clouds over Sunset Forest, and made the valley's Immortal Herbs bow.

Long Yaochen awakened his God-tier Martial Soul as Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao completed their own transformations. After Long Yaochen fused with the Ice Empress’s soul bone, ancient dragon roars opened a brief crack in his divinity, and Electrolux struck with the Holy Blade of Life.

• Long Yaochen’s Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon awakened, healing his body as Electrolux prepared to sever the god within him.

• Electrolux and the Ice Empress decided to fuse the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso Bone into Long Yaochen.
• Long Yaochen endured the soul bone’s agony and absorbed Ultimate Ice into his body.
• Ancient dragon roars stirred the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and cracked Long Yaochen’s flawless divinity, allowing Electrolux to bring down the Holy Blade of Life.

Electrolux helped Long Yaochen reclaim the last trace of his humanity from the Blazing Sun Holy Dragon and, with the Ice Empress’s help, sealed the dragon’s power inside a crimson moon. The Sea of Spirit became a golden sea, leaving the crimson moon to protect Long Yaochen, Electrolux, and the Ice Empress.

• Electrolux used the Holy Blade of Life to pry Long Yaochen’s humanity from the Blazing Sun Holy Dragon, and Long Yaochen recalled Long Xiaoyao, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan.
• Zhang Lexuan’s moonlight and Ma Xiaotao’s flame entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as both women began meditating.
• Electrolux bound and compressed the Blazing Sun Holy Dragon with the Holy Blade of Life, forcing it into a blazing sphere inside Long Yaochen’s Sea of Spirit.
• The Ice Empress layered extreme ice and moonlight around the sphere while Electrolux added deathly aura, forming a stable moon-shaped seal.
• Electrolux sent Long Yaochen’s consciousness and recovered humanity into the moon, which turned crimson; Electrolux then fell into a weakened state as the golden light swallowed the Sea of Spirit.
