After Chen Xinjie’s execution and Chen Yu’s move against the War God Temple, Shrek Academy’s elders gathered to face the loss of their allies and influence. Yun Ming urged them to unite, and Zhuo Shi proposed protecting Guan Yue, Shrek’s remaining foothold in the War God Temple.

• Shrek Academy’s elders watched the broadcast of Chen Xinjie’s execution and Long Yeyue’s posthumous humiliation.
• Yun Ming reminded the elders that Chen Yu had dismantled Shrek’s alliances by sealing the Tang Sect, arresting Zang Xin, and moving against the War God Temple.
• The elders stayed silent and accepted that they would need to unite if Chen Yu turned against Shrek.
• Shrek’s elders weighed their remaining strength, including Yun Ming’s power and the Golden Ancient Tree, which they could not use lightly.
• Zhuo Shi urged the elders to protect Guan Yue, arguing that his survival would preserve Shrek’s influence in the War God Temple.

Shrek’s elders planned to shield Guan Yue and undermine Chen Yu through public opinion, but they learned that Chen Yu had killed every War God in the War God Temple, leaving the Sea God Pavilion stunned and despairing as dawn arrived.

• Zhuo Shi proposed hiding evidence and using public opinion to force Chen Yu from the Federation Council chairmanship.

• The disciple clarified that Chen Yu had killed everyone in the War God Temple, including Deputy Master Guan Yue.

• The elders remained seated in the Sea God Pavilion through the night until morning arrived.

Shrek’s leaders thought Chen Yu would leave the academy alone, but the Federation Secretary-General, Pan Wen, arrived and announced that all three remaining Level 12 Fixed Soul Tool Shells were aimed at Shrek City. The chapter left the elders facing the threat, unable to trust that Chen Yu would hold back.

• Zhuo Shi and the other Shrek powerhouses sensed imminent danger and rushed into the sky to search for its source.
• Pan Wen arrived above Shrek Academy in the Federation Council Chairman’s private vehicle and approached the Shrek contingent.

• Shrek’s leaders realized the shells could kill everyone in Shrek City and feared Chen Yu might launch them, given his record of ignoring others’ expectations.

Pan Wen confronted Yun Ming over the unpaid resources Ya Li had consumed, forcing Shrek Academy to repay the Federation under threat of three Level 12 Fixed Soul Tool Shells. Yun Ming agreed to pay, while the elders faced the reality that Shrek's reserves were far smaller than its reputation suggested.

• Yun Ming questioned why Chen Yu had targeted Shrek City with Level 12 Fixed Soul Tool Shells, arguing that he could escape them.
• Pan Wen reminded Yun Ming that the seven-day deadline to repay Ya Li's expenses had passed, and Yun Ming recalled his promise.

• Yun Ming, humiliated and angered, agreed to pay the debt.
• Pan Wen presented a military-grade Soul Storage Device and asked Yun Ming to repay the resources on the spot.
• Shrek's elders recognized that generations of students and leaders had depleted its accumulated reserves, leaving the academy less wealthy than outsiders believed.

Shrek Academy’s elders and Yun Ming realized they could not afford to repay their debt without losing the resources they relied on, but Chen Yu’s threat left them with no real choice. When Zhuo Shi asked Pan Wen for more time, Pan Wen offered to call Chen Yu, and Zhuo Shi immediately agreed to pay that day.

• The veteran elders considered how repaying the debt would cut off their meals, medicines, and other cultivation resources.

• Yun Ming led the elders to Shrek Academy’s storehouse after Pan Wen demanded payment, and none of them dared oppose him.

• Ya Li asked Yun Ming if he blamed her, and he reassured her before she embraced him.
• Ya Li privately viewed Yun Ming as a source of benefit and reflected that her abundant Faith Power had not broken the barrier preventing her from advancing beyond Limit Douluo.

Ya Li stayed with Yun Ming at Shrek Academy, believing the school had freed her cultivation from its suppression, while the elders blamed her for Shrek’s losses. Chen Yu recovered Shrek’s resources and ordered the Federation to end its promotion of the Holy Spirit Douluo, leaving the fate of her public image in question.

• Chen Yu sent the resources to his laboratory and declared that Shrek’s debt was settled.
• Chen Yu ordered the publicity department to remove the Holy Spirit Douluo’s statues, ban its promotions, and shut down related factories.

Chen Yu ordered the Federation to erase Ya Li’s Holy Spirit image and replace it with his own, ending the faith network he had spent decades building for her. Ya Li sensed her Faith Power rapidly drying up on Sea God Island.

• Chen Yu told Pan Wen to shut down the Holy Spirit publicity campaign, and Pan Wen understood that Ya Li would no longer receive special treatment.

• Pan Wen replaced the Holy Spirit statues and publications with depictions of Chen Yu, who said Faith Power was unnecessary to his strength.
• Ya Li felt her Faith Power weakening and discovered that its golden river was rapidly drying up.

Ya Li learned that Chen Yu had abolished the Federation’s faith in the Holy Spirit Douluo, cutting off the Faith Power she needed to advance. As Ya Li left to confront Chen Yu, Yun Ming revealed that he had pursued her to share her Faith Power and use it to become a God.

• Ya Li grew anxious about her dwindling Faith Power and went to find out what had happened.
• Yun Ming told Ya Li that Chen Yu had ordered the Federation to abolish its faith in the Holy Spirit Douluo.
• Ya Li realized Chen Yu had cut off her channels of faith and left to confront him.
• Yun Ming watched Ya Li depart and thought that her Faith Power was the reason he had pursued her.

After Chen Yu cut off Ya Li’s Faith Power, Yun Ming suppressed his hatred and decided to wait for an opportunity. Ya Li went to the Ming Capital Parliament Building to see Chen Yu, but the guards denied her entry, and Pan Wen approached her.

• Yun Ming blamed Chen Yu for destroying his chance to become a god, but restrained himself because he was not strong enough to act against him.
• Ya Li arrived at the Parliament Building and asked the guard to let her see Chen Yu.
• The guard repeatedly demanded proof of an appointment, despite Ya Li identifying herself as the Holy Spirit Douluo.
• Ya Li grew furious when she realized the building no longer treated her as its former mistress.
• Pan Wen noticed Ya Li at the entrance and walked over to hear what she wanted.

When she attempted to force her way in, the building’s defenders surrounded her, while Chen Yu watched and considered what he had learned about Yun Ming’s strength.

• Ya Li asked Pan Wen to help her see Chen Yu, but he praised the guard who had stopped her and refused to let her enter.
• Ya Li threatened Pan Wen by invoking Chen Yu, but Pan Wen called her the Speaker’s former fiancée and told her she had chosen her own path.

• Ya Li felt a brief regret about failing to leave herself a way back, then suppressed it and found herself unable to advance or retreat.
• Pan Wen reported the incident to Chen Yu, who watched from the top floor and reflected that Yun Ming was weaker than he had expected.

Chen Yu concluded that Tang Hao had suppressed Ya Li’s cultivation and intercepted her Faith Power to prevent her from becoming a God. After piecing together his suspicions, Chen Yu set his plan in motion and ordered Pan Wen to let Ya Li go.

• Chen Yu compared Yun Ming’s cultivation with the original work and suspected that someone had prevented Ya Li from advancing despite her enormous Faith Power.
• Chen Yu identified Plane Master Tang Hao as the likely culprit, reasoning that Tang Hao had the power to suppress Ya Li and a motive to protect Tang San’s fading Sea God faith.
• Chen Yu suspected that Tang Hao had taken Ya Li’s accumulated Faith Power, explaining why she became desperate after her faith source was cut off.
• Chen Yu contacted Pan Wen and ordered him to let Ya Li go.
• Pan Wen ordered the mecha and three Super Douluo to withdraw from around the building.
