Chapter Summaries

The Central Legion traveled through a space-time rift to the past and built Space-Time City in three days, alarming the Star Luo Empire. Dai Hao’s attempt to investigate ended with a Quasi-God’s overwhelming pressure, and he warned his empire that the Sun Moon Empire had a Limit Douluo.

At a Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Mu En learned that the Sun Moon Empire might have a Limit Douluo and had built a vast city in the Ming Dou Mountains in three days. Suspecting Long Xiaoyao, Mu En left Shrek to investigate and stop Ye Xishui, while Di Tian secretly followed him; Mu En reached the mountains’ outskirts half a day later.

• The White Tiger Guards reported the Sun Moon Empire’s rapid construction of a city for thirty million people and the possible presence of a Limit Douluo.
• Mu En decided to investigate the suspected Limit Douluo himself despite his failing health.
• Yan Shaozhe questioned whether Shrek’s Soul Tool Department could match the Sun Moon Empire, prompting an argument between Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er over the department’s lack of support.

Mu En arrived at Space-Time City and was shaken by its advanced Soul Guidance Technology, while Yu Guanzhi explained how the Soul Master system had evolved across eras. Yu Guanzhi identified Mu En and sensed Di Tian’s arrival, setting the stage for a tense meeting between the three powerhouses.

• Di Tian emerged from the void, challenged Yu Guanzhi’s strength, and received a confident response from Yu Guanzhi.

Di Tian attacked Yu Guanzhi, but Yu Guanzhi revealed that Space-Time City's advanced soul guidance weapons could threaten even powerful beings like Di Tian. Di Tian teleported away, while Yu Guanzhi held back because of Gu Yuena’s ties to humanity.

• Di Tian struck Yu Guanzhi, who blocked the attack with his four-word battle armor and Divine Brush.
• Di Tian feared humanity’s rapid technological progress and decided that war was necessary to destroy its armor and technology.

After the Federation Council chose to establish relations with the ancient Sun Moon Empire and recruit its talented Soul Engineers, Long Chen led a delegation to the era’s Ming Capital. Their advanced Soul Guidance Buses triggered alarms and drew the attention of the empire’s defenders, who could only stare in shock.

• Three days after Mu En left, the Federation Council decided to send the Sun Moon Federation Soul Engineer Academy and top Soul Engineers to establish diplomatic relations and recruit talent from the Sun Moon Empire.
• Long Chen arrived with core students and ten high-ranking Soul Engineers, including Jian Mochen and Kuang Zhantian, and led the delegation aboard three High-Altitude Soul Guidance Buses.
• The delegation reached the Ming Capital, where a student photographed the primitive city and Long Chen remarked on how much civilization had changed.
• The city’s Soul Guidance Detectors spotted the buses, setting off alarms as figures from the imperial palace and academy, along with the Royal Soul Engineer Corps, rose to meet them.
• Jing Hongchen told Kong Deming that the buses displayed technology far beyond the Sun Moon Empire’s, then wondered whether they came from the Three Douluo Kingdoms.

Long Chen and his delegation from ten thousand years in the future met Kong Deming and the Sun Moon Emperor, revealing how the Sun Moon Empire would eventually become the Douluo Federation. The Soul Engineers embraced the future's technological possibilities, while the emperor feared his family would lose power, and the visitors went to tour Mingde Hall and the academy.

• Long Chen stepped off the High-Altitude Soul Guidance Bus, and Kong Deming began to bow before Long Chen stopped him and called him his senior.
• At the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, Long Chen explained that he and the Federation delegation came from ten thousand years in the future and described the empire's transformation and future Soul Guidance Technology.
• Kong Deming and the Soul Engineers were thrilled by the prospect of Level Twelve Soul Tools that could slay Gods, while the Sun Moon Emperor worried that the imperial family would be cast aside.
• Kong Deming invited the future's Level 10 Soul Engineers to his laboratory, and Jing Hongchen led Long Chen and the remaining visitors to the academy.
• The delegation arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where students spotted fifty or sixty people flying overhead and realized they were all at least Seven-Ring Soul Saints.

Long Chen described the future Mingde Hall as Sky City, exciting the era’s soul engineers and drawing attention to Xuan Xinwen’s future legacy. Meanwhile, Mu En warned Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion elders that the Sun Moon Empire’s soul guidance technology could threaten even a Limit Douluo.

• Jing Hongchen showed Long Chen and the others the underground Mingde Hall, and Long Chen praised its researchers’ drive.
• Long Chen revealed that Mingde Hall would become Sky City, suspended six thousand meters above Ming Capital, and promised the soul engineers a future visit.

• Long Chen suggested they move inside to talk as the soul engineers focused their attention on Xuan Xinwen.
• Mu En told the Sea God Pavilion elders that the Sun Moon Empire had a Limit Douluo and soul tools dangerous enough to threaten his life, prompting Xuan Zi’s disbelief.

Mu En warned Shrek Academy’s elders that the Sun Moon Empire’s soul tools could threaten even Limit Douluos, but they refused to accept the implications and trusted their students to win the coming tournament. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao continued helping his mother and younger self in the parallel world, where their modest life together brought them happiness.

• Xuan Zi argued that the Sun Moon Empire’s soul tools could not be as powerful as Mu En claimed because Shrek had repeatedly defeated its academy in tournaments, and the elders agreed.
• Mu En suggested the approaching tournament might reveal the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy’s true strength, while Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi confidently predicted Shrek would win.
• Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi discussed Ma Xiaotao’s talent and her potential to become a Sea God Pavilion elder.
• Huo Yuhao, using the alias Hao Qi, brought firewood to the secluded home where Huo Yun’er and his six-year-old self lived after servants began harassing them.
• Huo Yun’er welcomed Huo Yuhao back to a meal of vegetables and a small bowl of meat, and the young Huo Yuhao eagerly hurried to the table.

Huo Yuhao took Huo Yun'er and his younger self away from the White Tiger Duke's Estate and brought them to the Sun Moon Empire, where the younger Huo Yuhao thrived as a Soul Tool prodigy. Chen Yu arrived and explained how far Huo Yuhao might have gone as a Soul Engineer had he started at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

• Huo Yuhao asked Huo Yun'er to leave the White Tiger Duke's Estate, and she agreed before asking whether he had been doing well.
• Huo Yuhao broke down as Huo Yun'er embraced him and apologized, and he told her he loved her and that she had never wronged him.
• Huo Yuhao took Huo Yun'er and little Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Empire, where Long Chen welcomed them and Jing Hongchen took the boy as his Closed-Door Disciple.
• Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were astonished by little Huo Yuhao's aptitude for Soul Tools, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy warmly welcomed him.
• Chen Yu appeared before Huo Yuhao and explained that Huo Yuhao's talent could have made him a Level 10 Soul Engineer before thirty, with the potential to reach Level 11 or higher.

Huo Yuhao decided to protect the freedom of the parallel world's soul beasts rather than turn them into Soul Spirits. Meanwhile, Star Luo Empire officials spent half a month arguing over Dai Hao's warning about a Sun Moon Empire Limit Douluo, leaving the question of reinforcements unresolved.

• Huo Yuhao told Chen Yu that he would leave a clone to protect his younger self and return to the Divine Realm.
• Huo Yuhao said he would help Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the others find their own futures instead of making them his Soul Spirits.
• Snow Empress accepted Huo Yuhao's decision to let the parallel world's events take their course.
• Star Luo Empire officials argued for half a month over Dai Hao's report that the Sun Moon Empire had a Limit Douluo stationed in the Ming Dou Mountains.
• An official opposing reinforcements questioned why the Sun Moon Empire had not attacked, silencing the official who supported Dai Hao.

After confirming that the Sun Moon Empire had a Limit Douluo, Xu Jiawei ordered Star Luo to prepare its western army and seek support from the other empires. The chapter ends with Heaven Dou and Dou Ling responding, though their ability to help remained limited.

• With Dai Hao sending no further messages, Star Luo's officials speculated about the Sun Moon Empire's silence and accused Dai Hao of possibly harboring treasonous intentions.
• Xu Jiawei announced that Mu En had investigated the Ming Dou Mountains and confirmed that the Sun Moon Empire had produced a Limit Douluo.
• The officials reassured themselves that Shrek's Limit Douluo was stronger, while Xu Jiawei ordered Cangluan Douluo and Shattered Star Douluo to oversee the Western Group Army and sent envoys to Dou Ling and Heaven Dou.
• Dou Ling sent one Titled Douluo to support the Ming Dou Mountains, while Heaven Dou relied on the deterrence of Du Busi and the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao revealed his overwhelming power and knowledge of the Body Sect’s secret arts to Du Busi, then recounted the future history of the sect and his own life. Du Busi accepted his account and set out for Heaven Dou City, asking how Huo Yuhao planned to deal with Shrek Academy.

• Huo Yuhao convinced Du Busi of his strength by releasing his aura and summoning his Spirit Eyes martial soul.
• Du Busi was shocked that Huo Yuhao knew the Body Sect’s secret arts, including techniques developed in the distant future.
• Huo Yuhao told Du Busi about the events of the future, including the Body Sect’s long decline after Huo Yuhao left.
• Du Busi blamed both Huo Yuhao and himself for the sect’s future troubles, then headed for Heaven Dou City.
• Du Busi turned back and asked Huo Yuhao what he planned to do about Shrek Academy.

The Federation Council chose economic warfare to bring the Three Douluo Kingdoms under its control, and Yu Guanzhi prepared to demonstrate the Federation’s strength. As the kingdoms’ experts waited for Shrek Academy, Yu Guanzhi appeared above their encampment with overwhelming pressure.

• Du Busi left Huo Yuhao, resolved to become a god, and vowed to punish Mu Ye in the distant future.
• You Dingqi told Yu Guanzhi that the Federation Council had chosen economic warfare to make the Three Douluo Kingdoms dependent on the Federation.
• Yu Guanzhi accepted the plan and asked what he needed to do; You Dingqi told him to flex their muscles.
• Heavenly Sun Douluo, Cangluan Douluo Ye Yu, and the other kingdom experts agreed to wait for Shrek Academy before deciding how to respond to the Sun Moon Empire’s Limit Douluo.
• An immense pressure struck the headquarters, and Heavenly Sun Douluo and Ye Yu rushed outside to see Yu Guanzhi radiating power above the Star Luo Western Group Army.

Yu Guanzhi announced that the Federation Council had approved foreign trade with the Star Luo Empire, Heaven Dou Empire, and Dou Ling Empire, easing fears of war. The Dou Ling and Heaven Dou delegations withdrew, while the Star Luo representatives prepared to report to Emperor Xu Jiawei and negotiate trade terms.

• Cangluan Douluo Ye Yu and Heavenly Sun Douluo respectfully faced Yu Guanzhi and felt the pressure of his Limit Douluo strength.
• Yu Guanzhi told them that the Federation Council had approved foreign trade with the three empires and said they could make arrangements.
• Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo realized the Federation had not come to declare war, and they agreed that trade was preferable to conflict.
• Heavenly Sun Douluo took the Dou Ling Empire's delegation home, and the Heaven Dou Empire's people withdrew as well.
• Cangluan Douluo and Suixing prepared to return to Star Luo City, report to Emperor Xu Jiawei, and send officials to negotiate trade terms.

Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe learned that the Sun Moon Empire sought trade rather than war, then reported the news to Shrek Academy. After hearing that Level Nine Soul Tools would be included, Qian Duoduo urged the elders to support the trade so Shrek could develop its own Level 9 Soul Engineer.

• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe arrived in the Star Luo Empire, learned the Sun Moon Empire wanted trade, and confirmed the news with Xu Jiawei.
• Xuan Zi suggested that the Sun Moon Empire might fear Shrek’s Limit Douluo, while Yan Shaozhe continued to suspect the empire’s motives.
• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe returned to Shrek Academy and told the assembled elders that the three great empires planned to promote trade with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Yan Shaozhe revealed that the trade list would include Level Nine Soul Tools, surprising the elders.
• Qian Duoduo urged the elders to support the trade, saying Shrek’s Soul Tool Department could use a Level Nine Soul Tool to produce its own Level 9 Soul Engineer.

Shrek Academy’s elders agreed to pursue an exchange with the Sun Moon Empire to acquire soul tool knowledge and develop Level Nine Soul Engineers. After the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Qian Duoduo teased Yan Shaozhe about the Soul Tool Department’s future, and Yan Shaozhe reminded him that soul masters remained Shrek’s foundation.

• Qian Duoduo argued that studying a Level Nine Soul Tool could help Shrek train its own Level 9 Soul Engineers, and Elder Lin supported him.
• Elder Lin, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Mu En accepted the value of gaining advanced soul tool knowledge, while Mu En endorsed peaceful relations with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Mu En asked Qian Duoduo to take Soul Tool Department teachers and students to the Star Luo Empire and seek an exchange student agreement.
• After the Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Qian Duoduo joked that Yan Shaozhe would be the tenth person to use their future Level Nine Soul Tool, and Yan Shaozhe said soul masters were Shrek’s foundation.

Yan Shaozhe pressured Qian Duoduo into supplying Fixed Soul Guidance Shells for the new students, while the empire delegations finally arrived to negotiate a trade agreement. Du Busi accompanied Yu Guanzhi and the others to Space-Time City, where the delegates were stunned by its unprecedented architecture.

• Yan Shaozhe left after demanding Fixed Soul Guidance Shells from Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er consoled Qian Duoduo by threatening to recruit a promising student from the Martial Soul Department.
• After a week of disputes, the Three Great Empires sent Cangluan Douluo, Heavenly Sun Douluo, and Du Busi to negotiate the trade agreement.
• Du Busi greeted Yu Guanzhi as Commander Yu and kept the secret of the Body Sect's future prominence to himself.
• Heavenly Sun Douluo asked Du Busi how he knew Yu Guanzhi, but Du Busi changed the subject and led the group onward.
• The four Limit Douluos reached Space-Time City and were awestruck by its silver-white architecture, which made the Ming Capital seem like a small county town.

Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo were stunned by Space-Time City and the Douluo Federation’s advanced Soul Tools. As Yu Guanzhi led the visitors inside for talks, they began to grasp the Federation’s industrial strength and its plans to open new opportunities through the parallel world.

• Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo marveled at Space-Time City, which the Federation had built in three days with elite crews, Soul Tools, and Titled Douluos.
• Yu Guanzhi reflected on how the Federation addressed social resentment by keeping paths to advancement open and expanding opportunities into the parallel world.
• Yu Guanzhi invited everyone inside to discuss matters, and Du Busi, Cangluan Douluo, and Heavenly Sun Douluo followed him into the city.
• The visitors encountered civilian Soul Tools throughout Space-Time City and realized that Soul Tools served far more than military purposes.
• Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo were left confronting the Federation’s advantage over feudal empires, especially through agricultural Soul Tools that could feed more people.

Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo signed a trade agreement with the Douluo Federation that offered cheap grain and unrestricted trade in Soul Tools up to level nine. The Federation secured cooperation from the Heaven Dou Empire, while the Star Luo Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Shrek Academy also accepted the agreement.

• Cangluan Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo recovered from their visit to Space-Time City and discovered they had signed an agreement with terms far more generous than expected.
• Du Busi asked Yu Guanzhi to arrange Soul Tool instruction for Body Sect disciples, and Yu Guanzhi said Mu Ye would bring future elders and disciples to learn.
• Du Busi entrusted the Heaven Dou Empire to Yu Guanzhi, and the empire agreed to support the Federation in exchange for its imperial family becoming an established clan.
• The Heaven Dou Empire ordered that all its grain be purchased from the Federation, while the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire pooled resources to buy level-nine Soul Tools.
• Shrek Academy's officials arrived late, visited Space-Time City, and signed the same agreement as the Three Great Empires.

Five years after the Douluo Federation began supporting the Three Great Empires, the Federation had transformed their societies and absorbed much of their power without a major war. Little Huo Yuhao had become an exceptional soul master and soul engineer, while Ju Zi admired him rather than falling in love with him.

• The Three Great Empires lost power as their people embraced the improved life brought by the Federation, while the Heaven Dou imperial family secretly cooperated with the Federation.
• The Sun Moon Imperial Family abdicated during the first year, and its academy, military forces, and leaders were incorporated into the Federation.

• Du Busi took little Huo Yuhao as his personal disciple and helped awaken his Spirit Eyes martial soul, increasing his innate soul power.
