• After surveying the estate, Jing Chen chose a target, and Yi Yi silently killed a sleeping Soul King before moving on to another room.

• Xuan Zi met Mu En, and they considered Di Tian as a possible suspect but found no convincing lead.

Jing Chen returned to kill Wu Qiang and seven others, then went after Yang Lin, while the Yang Family mourned the massacre and Shrek investigated the killer. Mu En called a Sea God Pavilion meeting to address the threat to Shrek City.

Jing Chen finished building his Soul Power-powered Humanoid Soul Tool, or Mecha, inside the Time and Space Divine Tower. He planned to test its estimated Soul Emperor-to-Soul Saint-level combat ability while preparing to deal with Shrek’s continued surveillance the next day.

• Jing Chen arranged matters with Ma Ming and noticed Shrek had sent someone to follow him again, deciding to act against them after leaving the next day.
• Jing Chen returned to the hotel, gave Yi Yi instructions, and entered the Time and Space Divine Tower, where Yi Yi had nearly finished the stored soul beast meat.
• Jing Chen assembled the Mecha’s head, completing the three-meter-tall machine powered by Soul Power and fitted with two continuous-fire Soul Tool Guns.
• Jing Chen inspected the finished Mecha, whose projected strength ranged from Soul Emperor level with an ordinary pilot to mid-stage Soul Saint level with a Soul Master.

Jing Chen tested his newly completed Mecha, then discovered that the Time and Space Divine Tower’s internal space had changed after Yi Yi poured energy into it. He realized Yi Yi was the only one who had touched the tower, but the cause of the change remained unexplained.

• Jing Chen piloted the Mecha and confirmed that it mirrored his movements, amplified his strength, and ran on energy stored within itself.
• Jing Chen returned to his research inside the Time and Space Divine Tower and became so absorbed that he ignored Yi Yi’s calls for food.

• Jing Chen emerged from the tower, apologized to Yi Yi, and asked whether anyone else had touched it.
• Yi Yi indicated that it alone had touched the Time and Space Divine Tower, leaving Jing Chen surprised.

Jing Chen discovered that Yi Yi's energy expanded the Time and Space Divine Tower and accelerated its time flow, giving him a way to improve it without soul rings. After testing its limits, he found Yi Yi could safely increase the tower's radius by one meter and its time flow by about one thousandth in a little over an hour.

• Jing Chen asked Yi Yi to inject energy into the Time and Space Divine Tower and sensed its space expand and time flow accelerate.
• Jing Chen confirmed Yi Yi could make the tower grow from inside, while his own Soul Power had no effect.
• Jing Chen reasoned that Yi Yi's time and spatial attributes nourished the tower, then began testing its growth rate.
• Jing Chen measured the results after more than an hour: the tower's radius grew from one hundred meters to one hundred and one meters, and its time flow increased by about one thousandth.
• Jing Chen limited Yi Yi's infusion to one-twentieth of its full power because the tower could not withstand a stronger flow.
