Chapter Summaries

The Federation Speaker finalized official appointments for Yun Tian, Lin Yi, Bear One, and Wang Yi while Dragon Phoenix Hall refused to spread Yun Ze’s pill-making method. As the Federation’s highest-level parliamentary session began, six Legion Commanders and leaders from Shrek and the Tang Sect gathered, but the Federation Speaker had not yet arrived.

• The Federation Speaker confirmed Yun Tian and Lin Yi as Deputy Hall Masters of the War God Hall and Bear One and Wang Yi as Deputy Legion Commanders of the Northern Sea Legion.
• Di Tian accepted the arrangements, while Yun Ze continued cultivating with energy from the Dragon Core and worked on Soul Tools.
• After more than twenty days of preparation, Federation councilors and military officials assembled in the Sun Moon Conference Hall for a high-level parliamentary session.
• Yue Zhengen, Guo Zhenfeng, Xu Long, Dong Zi'an, and the other Legion Commanders took seats in the front row as military leaders from across the Federation arrived.
• Zhao Yi and Bai Fei entered with Shrek and Tang Sect councilors, Chen Xinjie, and other military officials, then noticed the Federation Speaker was absent.
• Bai Fei mocked the Federation Speaker for arriving late.

Zhao Yi, Bai Fei, Chen Xinjie, and the other powerful figures gathered for the Federation Parliament meeting, where their seating revealed a split into opposing factions. The Federation Speaker arrived just before the meeting began, answering speculation that he was afraid to attend.

• Chen Xinjie greeted Yue Zhengen and the other Legion Commanders coolly because they had declined to support him and planned to side with the Federation Speaker.
• The first-row attendees chose their own seats, and Chen Xinjie sat in the center while Dong Zi'an sat several places away, revealing a division between the factions.
• Zhao Yi wondered who the empty seats near Dong Zi'an were meant for, including whether Qian Gu Dong Feng would support the Federation Speaker.
• The Federation Speaker remained absent as the meeting's start approached, and Bai Fei mocked him for being late.
• The Federation Speaker entered and said that there were still two minutes before the meeting officially began.

At a Federation council meeting, the Federation Speaker brought Di Tian, Lin Yi, Bear Lord, and Ten Thousand Demons King to confront Shrek Academy and Tang Sect leaders. Zhao Yi and Bai Fei traded threats and insults with their enemies, while Qian Gu Dong Feng further provoked them, leaving their grudges unresolved.

• Zhao Yi, Bai Fei, and Chen Xinjie stood in anger when they saw Dragon Phoenix Hall's four Limit Douluo beside the Federation Speaker.
• Di Tian and the others were surprised that Zhao Yi and Bai Fei had fully recovered from their injuries in just over twenty days.
• Di Tian mocked Bai Fei and insulted Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, while Zhao Yi stopped Bai Fei from attacking.
• Bear Lord challenged Zhao Yi and Bai Fei to fight, and Qian Gu Dong Feng lectured Bai Fei while questioning the factions' reputations.
• Zhao Yi threatened Qian Gu Dong Feng over his father's death and vowed to repay Di Tian's group for their past grudges.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng warned that Zhao Yi could ruin Shrek Academy, and Zhao Yi said he would deal with the Spirit Pagoda after Dragon Phoenix Hall.

The Speaker justified Yun Tian, Lin Yi, Bear One, and Wang Yi attending the Federation meeting by revealing their government and military appointments, escalating tensions with Chen Xinjie and Zhao Yi. The meeting then opened with the proposal concerning Shrek and the Tang Sect displayed for discussion.

• Zhao Yi accused the Speaker of using the meeting to seize control, but the Speaker presented appointment letters naming Yun Tian, Lin Yi, Bear One, and Wang Yi as Federation officials and military deputies.
• Chen Xinjie and Xu Long challenged the appointments, and the Speaker insisted they had been approved through legal procedures.
• Chen Xinjie confronted Yu Guan Zhi for bypassing him, while Yu Guan Zhi acknowledged it was inappropriate but legal and accepted the threat of an investigation.
• Zhao Yi realized the Speaker’s side had gained strength, and the Speaker seated Di Tian and the other Limit powerhouses in the front row.
• The Speaker declared the meeting open and displayed the proposal concerning Shrek and the Tang Sect.

Zhao Yi condemned the Federation Government’s plan to nationalize Shrek and the Tang Sect, invoking their historic contributions and threatening retaliation. Shen Chen and several councilors opposed the plan, while the Federation Speaker’s supporters stood by it, leaving the assembly divided.

• After reviewing Shrek and the Tang Sect’s joint proposal, Zhao Yi challenged the government’s punishment and called its plan to nationalize them a provocation and declaration of war.
• Zhao Yi cited Shrek and the Tang Sect’s history and Sea God Tang San’s achievements, arguing that their independence had long been recognized.
• Zhao Yi warned that Shrek and the Tang Sect would make anyone responsible for nationalization pay a terrible price.
• Shen Chen argued that nationalization could trigger a devastating war, weaken the Federation, and invite Star Luo and Dou Ling to invade.
• Councilors rose to oppose the government’s decision, while supporters of the Federation Speaker defended it.

The Federation debated whether to nationalize Shrek and Tang Sect, with Di Tian arguing that Dragon Phoenix Hall could destroy them at little cost. Parliament voted, giving Shrek’s side more votes, but the proposal still had to meet the Federation’s sixty-percent approval threshold.

• The Federation Speaker and Zhao Yi argued opposing positions on nationalizing Shrek and Tang Sect, and Chen Xinjie called for a vote.
• Di Tian claimed Dragon Phoenix Hall had defeated Shrek and Tang Sect twice at minimal cost and that victory with Federation Army support would cost fewer than a thousand lives.
• Bai Fei and Zhao Yi challenged Di Tian, who vowed that Shrek and Tang Sect would be destroyed when Dragon Phoenix Hall attacked again.
• Zhao Yi and Bai Fei demanded a vote, and parliament members cast ballots while military officials and other non-parliamentarians abstained.
• Shrek’s side received 137 votes and the Federation Speaker’s side received 103, but the proposal required more than sixty percent of all votes to pass.

Shrek and the Tang Sect’s proposal to halt government sanctions was shelved after winning more than half but less than sixty percent of the vote, delaying the measures for six months. Zhao Yi then publicly challenged the Federation Speaker over the theft of God-Slaying Weapons and the unsolved councilor assassinations, leaving the Speaker under pressure and Zhao Yi furious at the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s apparent impunity.

• The council shelved Shrek and the Tang Sect’s proposal after it failed to reach the required sixty percent, preventing the government’s sanctions from taking effect for six months.
• The Federation Speaker realized that Shrek and the Tang Sect still commanded unexpectedly strong support among the councilors.
• Zhao Yi took the stage and blamed the Federation Government for the stolen God-Slaying Weapons and the resulting destruction and deaths.
• Zhao Yi accused government personnel of involvement in the theft and challenged the Federation Speaker, who angrily denied the charge.
• Zhao Yi questioned the government’s failure to make progress in investigating the assassination of thirty-seven councilors.
• Zhao Yi suspected Di Tian, Lin Yi, and the Dragon Phoenix Hall, but they offered no evidence against themselves and their mocking expressions enraged him.

Zhao Yi accused the Speaker and the government of involvement in the councilors’ murders and used the allegations to call for the Speaker’s impeachment. The meeting moved to a vote on replacing the government, with Shrek and the Tang Sect pushing for removal and military leaders weighing in.

• Zhao Yi linked the councilors’ murders to the government’s plans to nationalize Shrek and accused the Speaker of orchestrating the assassinations.
• Di Tian calmed the Speaker after Zhao Yi’s forceful words unsettled him, while Yu Guan Zhi challenged Zhao Yi to provide evidence.
• Chen Xinjie backed Shrek’s doubts and Zhao Yi proposed removing the Speaker, prompting councilors to debate whether the government should be replaced.
• Chen Xinjie publicly condemned the government, and Zhao Yi brought Cao Dezhi into the vote by video call.
• Cao Dezhi demanded the Speaker’s removal, while Zhang Huanyun criticized the government but stopped short of explicitly supporting its replacement.

Zhao Yi and the Tang Sect and Shrek’s allies gathered enough military support to impeach the Federation Speaker, prompting accusations that they were using their power to control the government. The Speaker denounced them before Zhao Yi called for the parliamentary vote.

• Zhang Huanyun, Cao Dezhi, and other military figures declared support for replacing the Federation Government, while leaders of five legions and the War God Hall joined the impeachment.
• Yu Guan Zhi, Dong Zi'an, Guo Zhenfeng, and Yue Zhengen warned that military coercion would not be tolerated and declared support for the Federation Speaker.
• Di Tian and Lin Yi pointed out that Shrek and the Tang Sect had gathered influence over much of the Federation’s military strength, alarming the assembled officials.
• Zhao Yi insisted that the impeachment was lawful and that Shrek and the Tang Sect would not take the Speaker’s position, while Di Tian questioned whether they intended to install a puppet.
• The Federation Speaker accused Shrek and the Tang Sect of hypocrisy and political domination, then Zhao Yi called for the parliamentary vote.

Federation Speaker Li Zhi defended himself against Shrek and the Tang Sect’s impeachment, accusing them of manipulating politics and pursuing power while arguing that bringing them under Federation control would benefit the state. Zhao Yi restrained his anger and called for the vote, leaving the conference hall tense and divided.

• Bai Fei tried to confront Li Zhi, but Zhao Yi stopped him from acting recklessly.
• Li Zhi argued that his failures over the stolen God-Slaying Weapon and the murdered councilor did not legally justify removing him from office.
• Li Zhi defended nationalizing or forcibly controlling Shrek and the Tang Sect, claiming the Dragon Phoenix Hall, Spirit Pagoda, and Federation legions could accomplish it at little cost.
• Li Zhi accused Shrek and the Tang Sect of forming political cliques and manipulating the council, provoking Zhao Yi and leaving the conference hall on the verge of violence.
• Zhao Yi refused to kill Li Zhi, dismissed his accusations as speculation, and ordered the vote to begin.

The Federation Speaker, Li Zhi, warned that Shrek and the Tang Sect could seize control of the Federation, while Zhao Yi denied that they intended to rule it. The vote failed to remove Li Zhi, leaving him in office for at least six months.

• Li Zhi argued that Shrek and the Tang Sect already controlled major Federation forces and might take over the government if he were removed.
• Chen Xinjie and Xia Bin remained on Shrek’s side, each driven by loyalty to Chen Xinjie or Long Yeyue despite recognizing the risks.
• Zhao Yi promised that Shrek and the Tang Sect would not control the Federation or install one of their own as Speaker, and swore a Martial Soul Oath.
• The legislators and military officials voted, with Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun voting remotely; 215 supported removing Li Zhi, 168 opposed it, and 23 abstained.
• Because support did not reach the required 60 percent, Li Zhi remained Federation Speaker, and Shrek and the Tang Sect could not submit another impeachment motion for six months.

After the Federation Speaker survived the removal vote, Zhao Yi and Bai Fei faced taunts from Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demons King and nearly started a fight in the assembly hall. Chen Xinjie urged restraint, and Zhao Yi reluctantly agreed to wait rather than escalate the confrontation.

• Li Zhi thanked the lawmakers and military officials who had supported him after the vote left him in office.
• Zhao Yi reflected on his failed plan to remove the Federation Speaker and secure government help in obtaining Eternal Heaven Kingdom.
• Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demons King mocked Zhao Yi, Bai Fei, and their allies, provoking Zhao Yi and Bai Fei into releasing their Quasi-God auras.
• Bear Lord challenged Zhao Yi to fight outside, while Chen Xinjie warned the gathered Limit Douluo not to turn the assembly hall into a battlefield.
• Chen Xinjie urged Zhao Yi to endure the provocation, and Zhao Yi nodded after understanding his implication.

After Zhao Yi and the others left the failed impeachment, Yun Ze concluded that Shrek City and the Tang Sect were still holding back while preparing to destroy the Dragon Phoenix Hall. He directed Di Tian and the others to cooperate with the Federation Speaker’s coming restructuring, while Zhao Yi, Bai Fei, and Chen Xinjie regrouped at a secret Tang Sect base.

• Zhao Yi, Bai Fei, Chen Xinjie, and the other opponents left after the impeachment failed, while the Federation Speaker thanked Yu Guan Zhi, Di Tian, Yue Zhengen, and their allies for their support.
• A Core Councilor accused Shrek City and the Tang Sect of reaching for control of the government, and Qian Gu Dong Feng used the dispute to revive old accusations against them.
• Di Tian and the others returned to the Dragon Phoenix Hall and reported the meeting to Yun Ze, who said Shrek City and the Tang Sect were enduring setbacks until their plan to bombard the hall was ready.
• Yun Ze told Di Tian to keep practicing formations and cooperate with the Federation Speaker as he restructured the government and military, including the Northern Sea Legion and War God Hall.
• At a secret Tang Sect research base, Zhao Yi told Bai Fei and Chen Xinjie that the government would likely limit its retaliation to political pressure and business disruptions.

Chen Xinjie agreed to let Zhao Yi’s people study the powerful shell, explaining that the failed impeachment and the Federation Speaker’s growing influence could soon cost him control of the War God Hall. Zhao Yi then asked why Chen Xinjie was not keeping the shell under his own control.

• Chen Xinjie, Zhao Yi, and Bai Fei discussed how the Federation Speaker might win over uncommitted councilors and military officials before the impeachment vote returned in six months.
• Chen Xinjie offered to let Zhao Yi send people to study the shell, warning them not to activate it.
• Zhao Yi asked why Chen Xinjie had changed his mind, and Chen Xinjie explained that the Federation Speaker had gained the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s support and appointed Yun Tian and Lin Yi as War God Hall Deputy Hall Masters.
• Chen Xinjie said Yun Tian and Lin Yi could challenge him for his position and that he might lose control of the shell if they took over the War God Hall.
• Zhao Yi asked Chen Xinjie why he was not keeping the shell under his own control.

Chen Xinjie agreed to give Zhao Yi the God-Slaying Weapon Eternal Heaven Kingdom only if the Tang Sect dismantled and modified it under his supervision, and Zhao Yi accepted. Later, the Federation Speaker met with trusted officials to find a way to remain in power, and one proposed borrowing the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s influence.

• Chen Xinjie explained that Eternal Heaven Kingdom had to be divided into weaker shells so it could be used without openly drawing condemnation or risking Mingdu’s destruction.
• Zhao Yi and Bai Fei objected to Chen Xinjie’s demand, but Chen Xinjie insisted that dismantling the weapon was the sole condition for handing it over.
• Zhao Yi agreed to modify Eternal Heaven Kingdom at a secluded site supervised by Chen Xinjie, who said he would arrange its transport and notify them when it was ready.
• That night, the Federation Speaker convened trusted officials to discuss how to win over councilors and military leaders and avoid losing office six months later.
• An official named Old Wang proposed borrowing the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s power, and another official asked him to explain how.

The Federation Speaker sought Hundred Year Longevity Pills from Dragon Phoenix Hall to win support and avoid impeachment. Yun Ze agreed to sell him one, then predicted he might use it to promise rewards he would never deliver.

• Old Wang proposed using Hundred Year Longevity Pills to sway councilors and senior military officials toward the Federation Speaker.
• The Federation Speaker visited Dragon Phoenix Hall and asked Yun Tian for pills, explaining that his political position depended on them.
• Di Tian consulted Yun Ze, who agreed to sell the Federation Speaker one pill.
• Gu Yue Na questioned how one pill could win over so many officials, and Yun Ze explained that the Federation Speaker could promise it to multiple people and renege after the impeachment session.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na discussed whether to help the Speaker secure support against another impeachment, while the Speaker struggled to win over council members after the failed motion. The Speaker remained in office as public outrage faded, and Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na continued their relaxed routine.

• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na that the Speaker might try to win support with a Hundred Year Longevity Pill, but they agreed to help only if he asked them.
• The Speaker secured a Hundred Year Longevity Pill from Dragon Phoenix Hall and returned to the Federation Building.
• News of the impeachment leaked, and many citizens blamed Shrek and the Tang Sect for targeting the Speaker.
• Shrek and the Tang Sect investigated the leak but found no evidence against the Speaker, while public discussion gradually died down.
• The Speaker contacted council members and military higher-ups for support, but only one agreed to help him.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na followed their usual schedules of cultivation, work, and occasional shopping.

Di Tian and Lin Yi examined the War God Hall and repeatedly challenged Chen Xinjie, who refused while waiting for an opportunity to take Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demons King cowed the Northern Sea Legion, while Shrek and the Tang Sect secretly prepared weapons to attack the Dragon Phoenix Hall.

• Di Tian and Lin Yi used their authority to study the War God Hall and challenged Chen Xinjie, but he rejected them because he was occupied with official affairs.
• Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demons King visited the Northern Sea Legion, where Bear Lord killed a major general who questioned their authority, forcing the legion to back down.
• Bear Lord and Ten Thousand Demons King began visiting the legion every half month and secretly forcing pills on younger officers, prompting Xu Long and the other leaders to suspect the Dragon Phoenix Hall was trying to win them over.
• Shrek and the Tang Sect worked to retain political and military support while accelerating production of weapons intended to bomb the Dragon Phoenix Hall.
• Zhao Yi and the others decided to continue with their bombing plan despite uncertainty about whether the Dragon Phoenix Hall knew of it, taking greater precautions.

Yue Zhengen and Le Zheng Tian visited Dragon Phoenix Hall to finalize their cooperation with Di Tian, offering a prized divine sword in exchange for his insights into becoming a god. After the alliance was confirmed and Di Tian shared part of his knowledge, Yun Ze decided the sword would eventually be reforged into material for Four-Word Battle Armor.

• Yue Zhengen presented Di Tian with the Yue Family’s second-most powerful divine weapon, a crimson sword forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron.
• Di Tian agreed to proceed with the cooperation, and both sides reviewed and confirmed their alliance contract.
• Di Tian shared roughly thirty percent of his insights into condensing a divine position with Yue Zhengen and Le Zheng Tian.
• On the journey home, Le Zheng Tian praised the exchange and urged Yue Zhengen to maintain a close relationship with Dragon Phoenix Hall.
• Back at Dragon Phoenix Hall, Di Tian declined to use the sword because he already wielded the Black Dragon Sword, and Yun Ze stored it to reforge later into material for Four-Word Battle Armor.

More than a year after Shrek and the Tang Sect first impeached the Speaker, the Holy Spirit Cult’s massacres of over a million people became public, prompting a Federation-wide military purge. A renewed impeachment failed after the Speaker secured Dragon Phoenix Hall’s support, and he secretly kept a Hundred Year Longevity Pill for himself.

• The Federation uncovered more than five hundred massacred villages and dozens of destroyed towns, with the Holy Spirit Cult’s victims numbering over a million.
• The Speaker signed a Federation Decree ordering a large-scale purge, led by Dong Zi'an and Xia Bin, while Chen Xinjie refused to contribute Sea God Legion troops.
• Shrek and the Tang Sect accused the Speaker of negligence over the massacres and launched another impeachment, but the vote failed to reach the required support.
• The Speaker secured Dragon Phoenix Hall’s backing by promising to help it win at least twenty legislator seats, including a Core Councilor seat, in the next election.
• The Speaker distributed five Hundred Year Longevity Pills to supporters and hid a sixth for himself, while other legislators and military officials privately sought pills from Dragon Phoenix Hall.
