Chapter Summaries

Chen Yu ordered Pan Wen to spread denunciations of the Holy Spirit Douluo, turning public faith in Ya Li into hatred that devastated her cultivation. Tang Hao, who had absorbed Ya Li’s Faith Power, also suffered the backlash and realized he risked losing the Plane Will’s support.

• Ya Li left after glaring at Pan Wen, while Chen Yu decided to make Tang Hao pay by turning Faith Power against him.
• Chen Yu told Pan Wen to spread denunciations of the Holy Spirit Douluo across the Federation, and Pan Wen agreed without asking questions.
• Pan Wen’s team flooded the Soul Guidance Network with fabricated accusations and staged witnesses, and public opinion turned against Ya Li.
• The Federation’s hatred poisoned Ya Li’s Faith Power and caused her cultivation to plunge from rank ninety-nine to below four rings.
• Tang Hao coughed up blood in the Seven-Colored Space as the backlash struck him more severely because he had absorbed so much of Ya Li’s Faith Power.
• Tang Hao realized that the citizens’ hatred could make the Plane Will abandon him and strip him of his authority as Plane Master.

Tang Hao lost the Plane Master's authority after the backlash from Ya Li's corrupted power of faith shattered his Godhood, leaving him a severely injured Peak Quasi-God. With the plane's restraint gone and Tang Hao no longer a threat above him, Chen Yu prepared to visit Director Ling, while the Sea God Pavilion elders gathered in confusion.

• Tang Hao fell from Plane Master to an ordinary God Official, then to a severely injured Peak Quasi-God as the backlash damaged his Godhood.

• Chen Yu contacted Pan Wen and arranged to visit Director Ling at the laboratory.
• The Sea God Pavilion elders convened another meeting, sitting in dazed confusion.

At a Sea God Pavilion meeting, Cai Yue'er blamed Yun Ming for Shrek’s losses and confronted him over his neglect of Ya Li. Yun Ming retaliated by accusing Cai Yue'er of abusing her authority, leaving their conflict unresolved.

Chen Yu visited his private laboratory and welcomed Ling Han, the brilliant Soul Tool researcher and father of six-year-old Ling Zichen. Ling Han recalled how Chen Yu had rescued him and his team from neglect after the completion of Eternal Kingdom, while the chapter left the Tang Sect's tempting offer unaddressed.

• Chen Yu arrived at his vast, well-equipped private laboratory outside Ming Capital, where Director Ling Han waited to greet him.
• The narration revealed that Ling Han had developed Eternal Kingdom, the Federation's most powerful Level 12 Fixed Soul Tool Shell, and had been written out of the original story after dying in an experiment.
• Chen Yu had brought Ling Han to his own laboratory before the Tang Sect could recruit him, saving him from that fate.
• Six-year-old Ling Zichen showed unusual talent by understanding basic Soul Tool theory and offering useful suggestions to researchers.
• Ling Han thanked Chen Yu for recognizing his talent after the Federation dissolved his project team, took its results, and dismissed its members without concern for their futures.
• The Tang Sect had offered Ling Han generous funding, resources, and research freedom, but the chapter ended before he described his decision.

Chen Yu visited Ling Han’s private laboratory, where Ling Han reported that a Soul Tool capable of hiding spacecraft from Divine Origin Realm spiritual perception had been completed. Chen Yu rewarded the research team with three years’ salary and time off as several spacecraft stood ready for mass production.

• Ling Han chose Chen Yu’s laboratory over the Tang Sect because Chen Yu promised unlimited research funding and gave him freedom to pursue his work.
• Ling Han told Chen Yu that the spiritual-perception-shielding Soul Tool had been completed and that the requested spacecraft could now be mass-produced.
• Chen Yu praised the team and promised every member a bonus equal to three years’ salary, followed by time off.
• Ling Han announced the reward to the researchers at the testing site, and they celebrated with gratitude and excitement.

Chen Yu ordered the laboratory to prepare for mass-producing spacecraft and launched three hundred concealed satellites to monitor the entire Douluo Plane. Meanwhile, Shrek’s leaders at Sea God Island maintained a public show of unity despite deepening internal divisions.

• Chen Yu told Ling Han to produce a hundred spacecraft within a year, promising support from his factories and help securing resources.
• Ling Han confirmed that three hundred satellites were ready, and Chen Yu ordered them fitted with Soul Tools that blocked Divine Origin Realm spiritual detection before launch.
• Over the course of a week, all three hundred satellites entered orbit undetected, and the Federal Satellite Bureau began monitoring the Douluo Plane, including the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire.
• At Sea God Island, Yun Ming and the elders continued their usual meetings and presented a united front despite growing distrust and resentment among Shrek’s upper ranks.

Yun Ming briefly sensed the satellites watching him, while Shrek Academy students protested after losing their resources. Cai Yue'er crushed the protest with her Super Douluo pressure until Chen Yu appeared and asked who had called the Speaker Hotline.

• Yun Ming sensed an unseen gaze, searched Sea God Island with his Spiritual Power, and wondered whether Chen Yu was responsible.

• Chen Yu asked who had called the Speaker Hotline, and a trembling student stood and identified himself.
• The student accused Shrek Academy of charging five million in tuition each semester while withholding cultivation resources.
• Chen Yu questioned Cai Yue'er, who admitted the academy had no money and could not explain how its funds and subsidies were handled.
• Chen Yu revealed that Federation subsidies already included the students' cultivation resources, shocking the students and leaving Cai Yue'er unable to answer.
• Yun Ming and the Sea God Pavilion elders arrived, and Chen Yu asked Yun Ming whether Shrek was planning a rebellion.

Yun Ming defended Shrek Academy’s long-standing extraction of resources and its abuses of the Federation as ancestral custom, but Chen Yu challenged the idea that tradition made those actions right. Chen Yu demanded that Yun Ming admit Shrek had been wrong, leaving Yun Ming and the elders humiliated and shocked.

• Yun Ming said Shrek Academy’s subsidies and privileges had continued for thousands of years under ancestral rules.
• The chapter described how Shrek used its power and the Holy Spirit Cult to intimidate the Federation while benefiting from subsidies, tuition, and other payments.
• Chen Yu asked whether something was right simply because it had always been done that way.
• Yun Ming privately maintained that strength determined justice, but he bowed his head and agreed with Chen Yu.
• Chen Yu demanded that Yun Ming say, “We were wrong,” shocking and humiliating Yun Ming and the elders.

• Yun Ming struggled to answer Chen Yu as the assembled students watched.
• Chen Yu killed Cai Yue'er and splashed her blood across Yun Ming and the elders, declaring Yun Ming's answer wrong.

• Chen Yu killed another elder and demanded that Yun Ming loudly admit he was wrong, while the surviving elders knelt and begged for mercy.
• Yun Ming shouted that he was wrong because he believed his death would doom Shrek, and Chen Yu accepted his admission.
• Chen Yu tore open a stable Space Rift, astonishing Yun Ming and the elders with his control over space.
• Pan Wen left his office through the rift and appeared in Shrek Academy’s Outer Court plaza after Chen Yu summoned him.
• Chen Yu ordered Pan Wen to draft an agreement for Shrek to compensate students for their tuition and provide appropriate compensation to graduates.

Pan Wen prepared an agreement requiring Shrek Academy to compensate current students and eligible graduates for their tuition, and Yun Ming signed it under Chen Yu’s pressure. Chen Yu then turned to the students and began addressing Shrek Academy’s inability to provide them with a proper cultivation environment.

• Pan Wen drafted a detailed tuition repayment agreement and presented it to Yun Ming.
• As Yun Ming hesitated, Chen Yu killed another elder and warned that he would not wait long.
• Yun Ming signed the agreement, and Pan Wen checked it and stored it in his Soul Storage Device.
• Chen Yu announced that tuition was settled for now and moved on to the next agenda item.
• Chen Yu addressed the gathered students and said Shrek Academy could no longer provide a proper cultivation environment.

Chen Yu offered Shrek’s students the chance to enroll at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and more than five hundred chose to leave with him. He teleported them away, leaving Yun Ming and the others stunned.

• Chen Yu announced that Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would reopen enrollment and let Shrek’s students decide whether to leave.
• Several hundred students who had lost faith in Shrek after Cai Yue’er’s treatment of them walked over to Chen Yu and Pan Wen.
• Yun Ming and the other Shrek leaders watched the students leave and believed they would regret abandoning Shrek’s legacy.
• Chen Yu ended the enrollment offer after more than twenty percent of the Outer Court students chose to go, most of them first- and second-years.
• Chen Yu teleported the more than five hundred students to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, leaving Yun Ming and the others dumbfounded.

• Yun Ming warned the elders that they owed the money to Chen Yu and had seven days to gather it before three Level 12 Fixed Soul Tool Shells destroyed Shrek City.
• Yun Ming ordered every elder to bring back the resources they had pocketed, and the elders erupted in protest.

Yun Ming ordered Shrek Academy’s elders to return the resources they had skimmed, warning that the academy needed them to prevent another crisis. The elders began contacting their families to gather the stolen wealth, while Chen Yu learned of their actions and concluded that Shrek’s resources had merely been hidden in private stores.

• Shrek’s elders protested Yun Ming’s order to hand over their hoarded resources, describing the subsidies, Tang Sect sponsorship, and student resources they had diverted over the years.
• Yun Ming reminded the elders that the academy needed resources and warned that another crisis like the day’s events could cost them their lives.

• Chen Yu concluded that Shrek’s vast reserves had not vanished but had been moved from the academy’s storerooms into the elders’ private warehouses.

Chen Yu reflected on the immense wealth held by powerful clans and sects while ordinary Federation citizens suffered scarcity, then promised to secure resources for his laboratory. The chapter ended as Yun Ming met a middle-aged man in the wealthy Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s main hall.

• Chen Yu noted that Shrek Academy, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Tang Sect held vast resources despite claims of scarcity, while ordinary Federation citizens lacked access to them.
• Chen Yu said the Tang Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the War God Temple, and Shrek had already returned wealth, and wondered which group he would target next.
• Chen Yu called Ling Han and asked whether the laboratory lacked resources.
• Ling Han listed the laboratory’s needs, including rare metals for spaceship production and satellite upgrades and Soul Tools that could block Divine Origin Realm spiritual power.
• Chen Yu told Ling Han to send him the list and promised to obtain the resources while the laboratory focused on research and production.
• Yun Ming sat down opposite a middle-aged man in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s luxurious main hall.

Yun Ming visited Ning Chen to ask the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for resources after Shrek Academy’s crisis left its reserves depleted. Ning Chen agreed and gave him a cache of treasures and Soul Tools, leaving Yun Ming relieved but still short of the full compensation amount.

• Ning Chen silently listened as Yun Ming referred to the upheaval at Shrek Academy and its depleted resources.
• Yun Ming asked Ning Chen to help fund Shrek Academy, making clear that he was seeking support rather than a repayable loan.
• Ning Chen agreed because the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could afford the expense and valued having Shrek as an ally against Chen Yu.
• Ning Chen summoned a shadow martial soul Title Douluo, who brought a Soul Storage Device filled with rare metals, treasures, medicinal herbs, and Soul Tools.
• Yun Ming inspected the resources and accepted them, expecting to gather the remaining funds from the other elders.

• Chen Yu asked Pan Wen to confirm that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect maintained ties with the three major auction houses.

Chen Yu used his control of the Federation to target the Douluo Auction House, whose wealth and influence were tied to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek Academy. He ordered an investigation, and the Federal Intelligence Bureau and Satellite Bureau began a joint evidence-gathering operation.

• Chen Yu’s control of the Federation Council had grown to seventy percent after the Tang Sect was destroyed and the War God Temple was purged.
• Pan Wen explained that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had ended its dealings with the Federal Central Auction House, while its members still played a major role at the Skysea Alliance Auction House.
• Pan Wen recognized that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s thirty percent stake gave it great influence over the Douluo Auction House and that Shrek Academy protected the sect’s interests.
• Chen Yu told Pan Wen to summon Skysea City’s governor and implied that Pan Wen should find evidence against the Douluo Auction House.
• The Federal Intelligence Bureau and Satellite Bureau began a coordinated investigation, examining the auction house’s records, finances, clients, and associated personnel.

After learning how extensively powerful clans had exploited ordinary people, he grew furious and left Pan Wen expecting a reckoning for them.

• Intelligence Bureau agents gathered public records, witness statements, and other evidence exposing abuses by the great clans.
• Chen Yu read the files in silence as Pan Wen watched, then condemned the Douluo Auction House and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
