He offered the Soul Beasts a small plane to inhabit in exchange for the Federation reclaiming the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving Gu Yuena eager to know whether the offer was genuine.

• Gu Yuena sensed the contract’s power but expected to break it after her injuries healed, then asked Chen Yu to show her the minor plane.
• Chen Yu opened a stable Space Rift, and Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Bear Lord, Bi Ji, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and the other Beasts followed him through it.
• Chen Yu explained that the Fifth Minor Plane had abundant food, water, and space but few other resources, making it suitable for the Soul Beast clan.
• Chen Yu revealed that he wanted the Soul Beasts to reproduce and diversify so the Federation’s Soul Masters could gain a wider range of Artificial Soul Spirits.

• Chen Yu appeared in his office on the top floor of the Parliament Building.

Chen Yu strengthened the contract binding the Soul Beasts to humanity, then ordered Pan Wen to display it in a nationwide livestream. Faith Power from the Federation elevated the contract to a restraint even a God King would have to treat with caution, while Chen Yu concealed its new strength from Gu Yuena.

• Chen Yu gave Pan Wen the golden contract and ordered him to place it in the Parliament Grand Hall for a nationwide livestream announcing the Soul Beasts’ submission.
• The livestream spread the contract’s terms across the Federation, prompting public celebration and causing powerful clans and sects to abandon thoughts of resisting Chen Yu.

• Chen Yu used a split soul and the power of six minor planes to conceal the contract’s upgrade from Gu Yuena and the Soul Beasts.

The Elders at Sea God Pavilion confronted the collapse of Shrek Academy’s four sources of authority as the Soul Beasts’ submission and recent scandals undermined its role on the continent. The tuition scandal left Shrek with only its supposed duty of guarding humanity against Soul Beasts, a foundation now threatened by their submission.

• Yun Ming awoke, learned that the Soul Beast race had submitted, coughed up blood, and fell unconscious again.

• Shrek’s Elders lamented that Chen Yu had destroyed the academy’s final claim to importance by subduing the Soul Beast race.

• Gu Yuena refused to learn from Pan Wen and insisted that she wanted to follow Chen Yu so she could learn from the strongest human.
• Gu Yuena explained that she wanted to be Chen Yu’s personal secretary, and Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

• Chen Yu asked Gu Yuena if she understood what a personal secretary was, but she insisted that no difficulty could stop the Silver Dragon King.

• Shrek’s Elders faced dwindling students, resources, and public respect as the academy’s decline threatened their clans.
• One Elder proposed that Shrek create a crisis because Chen Yu had become a god and could not be opposed directly.

Shrek’s elders agreed to unseal the old Demon Gate and provoke a demon invasion so they could claim credit and restore the academy’s reputation. As Chen Yu learned that a Shrek elder had left the academy, he suspected the elders were preparing to cause trouble.

• An elder proposed creating a demon crisis so Shrek could defeat some demons first and leave the Eight Great Legions to finish the cleanup.

• Pan Wen told Chen Yu that a Shrek elder had left the academy, and Chen Yu suspected the elders had devised a plan to turn their situation around.

• Chen Yu ordered Pan Wen to assign a Limit Douluo to follow the Shrek elder.
• The Limit Douluo tracked the elder to the Yuanen Family’s ancestral territory, where the elder broke a seal and opened a portal.
• More than ten thousand demons emerged, and a giant demon stabilized the portal as the Shrek elder slipped away.
• The Limit Douluo sent an emergency message to the Parliament Building.
• Pan Wen and Chen Yu reacted with disbelief as they learned Shrek had invited a Demon Plane invasion.

Chen Yu ordered the Federation to prepare for Shrek’s actions after its members opened a passage to the Demon Plane, and he told Gu Yuena that the Soul Beasts under Federation protection had to help fight the invasion. As the demon army grew to one hundred thousand, the Yuanen Family gathered to face the returning Demon Calamity and remember the losses caused by Yuanen Yehui’s mother.

• Chen Yu ordered the Central Legion to prepare and the War Gods to hide nearby so he could find out Shrek’s purpose.

• Yuanen Zhentian watched the demons approach and recalled how the previous disaster had devastated his family after Yuanen Yehui’s mother opened the passage.

Yuanen Zhentian and the Shrek elders fought to contain the demons pouring through the reopened seal, while Chen Yu watched from above and waited to learn Shrek’s true plan. A powerful violet-gold demon emerged from the gate as Federation forces held their positions.

• Yuanen Zhentian rallied the Yuanen Family and transformed into a Titan Giant Ape to fight the demons and defend the mountain.

• Yuanen Zhentian briefly wondered how the Shrek elders had arrived so quickly before returning to the fight.
• Chen Yu watched from above as the War Gods and Central Legion surrounded the mountain and waited for his command.
• A towering violet-gold demon carrying a flaming sword crawled through the gate.

Demon Monarch Alba entered the battle and turned the tide against the Yuanen Family and Shrek, while Shrek’s Elders tried to flee and were surrounded by the War God Temple. Chen Yu appeared beneath a golden-red sky, revealing divine power that terrified Alba as he realized Wujie had deceived him.

• Demon Monarch Alba arrived at Peak Quasi-God strength, empowering his demon legion and overwhelming the defenders.
• Alba wounded Yuanen Zhentian with a single slash, causing Shrek’s Elders to abandon the fight and attempt to escape.
• War Gods from the War God Temple surrounded the fleeing Elders and ordered them to remain under the Speaker’s command.
• Golden-red vital energy filled the sky, and Alba sensed divine power and accused Wujie of lying about the Douluo Plane.
• Chen Yu descended from the sky upon a golden sea of blood and vitality and faced Alba.

Chen Yu followed Alba through the gate into the Demon Plane, killed him, and began refining the plane to increase his divine rank. He left the invading demons’ fate unresolved as he set out to slaughter them all.

• Chen Yu resolved to kill every demon who had invaded the Douluo Plane.

Chen Yu annihilated the Demon Plane’s demons and three Demon Lords with a golden-red sun, then refined the plane’s core and took control of its laws. He realized the plane’s instinctive defenses had misled the Abyssal Sage King.

• The Demon Plane empowered its three Demon Lords and sent them, along with millions of demons, to stop Chen Yu from refining it.
• Chen Yu summoned a golden-red sun that transformed the Demon Plane’s sky and sent the demon armies fleeing in terror.
• The sun crashed down, killing tens of millions of demons and the three Demon Lords in a blast of overwhelming light and heat.
• The deaths triggered a backlash that destabilized the Demon Plane’s core, allowing Chen Yu to refine it and take control of its power.
• Chen Yu observed the silent plane and concluded that its instinctive defenses had deceived the Abyssal Sage King.

After refining the Demon Plane and creating demons bound to his will, Chen Yu returned to the Douluo Plane, where the Federation had defeated the invading demons and guarded the Shrek Elders who had unsealed the portal. Satellite footage revealed a Shrek Elder opening the seal, and Yuanen Zhentian erupted in fury at Shrek.
