After the Mingdu explosion, the Federation and its citizens turned against Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, while Ghost Emperor considered exploiting the chaos. At Shrek City, Zhao Yi confronted Yu Guan Zhi and the other leaders, who demanded that Shrek’s representatives take a Truth Serum Pill.

• The Federation Speaker and several legions vowed to eradicate Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect if they were responsible for the explosion, while legions tied to Shrek rejected the accusation as Dragon Phoenix Hall’s framing.
• Ghost Emperor considered collecting the explosion’s dead souls but decided to target another city instead, anticipating the Federation’s next move against Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
• Yu Guan Zhi, Di Tian, Gu Ming, and Qian Gu Dong Feng confronted Zhao Yi outside Shrek City, whose defensive array kept them beyond its walls.
• Zhao Yi accused them of judging Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect without evidence, and Yu Guan Zhi offered the Truth Serum Pill as a way to clear their names.

Zhao Yi publicly rejected Dragon Phoenix Hall’s Truth Serum Pills and demanded evidence linking Shrek and the Tang Sect to the explosion. Di Tian then announced a formation that could recreate the past at the blast site, leaving Zhao Yi worried that it might expose what happened.

• Zhao Yi refused to take Dragon Phoenix Hall’s Truth Serum Pills, citing the risk of tampering, while Yu Guan Zhi and Qian Gu Dong Feng offered to oversee testing.
• Zhao Yi appealed to the livestream audience and demanded evidence beyond Dragon Phoenix Hall’s accusations, with Bai Fei echoing his objections.
• Zhao Yi refused to open Shrek City’s barrier and told Yu Guan Zhi to return to Mingdu until he could produce evidence.
• Di Tian claimed Dragon Phoenix Hall could use a formation to recreate events at the blast site before the explosion, unsettling Zhao Yi.

Di Tian proposed using the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s array to recreate past scenes and expose whoever planted the shells, while promising tests against surveillance footage to prove it worked. The array was with Yun Ze in Mingdu, and the group prepared to have him activate it.

• Di Tian explained that the array recreated scenes according to objective facts and suggested repeatedly trying to capture the moments before the explosion or when the shells were planted.
• Di Tian offered to test the array against surveillance footage from areas chosen without the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s involvement, leaving Zhao Yi little room to object.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng and Yu Guan Zhi supported the plan, while Zhao Yi insisted that the array’s authenticity had to be proven and Bai Fei feared the planting scene might be recreated.
• Yu Guan Zhi agreed to verify the method, and Di Tian revealed that Yun Ze had the completed array with him in Mingdu and could activate it.

Zhao Yi sought help after Di Tian revealed Dragon Phoenix Hall could recreate past scenes, prompting Ah Yin to ask Tang Hao to interfere. Tang Hao revealed he had secretly accelerated the Abyss Plane’s invasion to protect Shrek and the Tang Sect while he devoured it, and warned that Yun Ze might become a threat to him.

• Zhao Yi left the city wall for Sea God Island and asked the Golden Tree for help against Dragon Phoenix Hall’s ability to recreate past scenes.
• Ah Yin condemned Zhao Yi and the others for their failure, then contacted Tang Hao for a solution.
• Tang Hao said he would interfere only cautiously and planned to erase memories of the scandal after devouring the Abyss Plane.
• Ah Yin worried that Shrek and the Tang Sect could be destroyed before Tang Hao finished, but Tang Hao said an Abyss invasion would force their enemies to unite against it.
• Tang Hao revealed he had secretly opened the Abyss Channel to bring the invasion forward, explaining that Yun Ze’s growth made delay dangerous.
• Tang Hao told Ah Yin that his instincts warned Yun Ze might become a god and eventually threaten him as Plane Master.

Yun Ze activated Dragon Phoenix Hall’s array to Recreate Past Scenes at a publicly selected location in a Mingdu shopping mall, despite the Plane Master’s attempt to interfere. The array showed a past scene that matched the mall’s surveillance footage, and the Federation Speaker confirmed its ability live.

• Yun Ze activated his array before a live audience while Federation officials, reporters, and soldiers watched.
• The Plane Master disrupted the laws of time and space, but Yun Ze resisted the interference and prevailed after several minutes.

• The footage mostly matched the light-screen image, and the Federation Speaker declared that Dragon Phoenix Hall’s array could Recreate Past Scenes.

Yun Ze used the formation to recreate the scene of the Dragon Phoenix Hall bombing, and the evidence pointed to the Tang Sect. After the Spirit Transfer Pagoda confirmed the identity of the Golden Pangolin Titled Douluo in the scene, the Federation had a direct link between the bombing and the Tang Sect.

• Yun Ze entered the sealed explosion zone and activated the scene-recreating formation while a camera Soul Tool broadcast the results.
• The formation showed masked researchers installing a huge shell, then a Golden Pangolin Titled Douluo taking six people away and leaving one guard behind.
• Viewers identified the guard’s lip movements as saying “Tang Sect,” and the Federation Speaker ordered an investigation into the Golden Pangolin soul master.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng received Spirit Transfer Pagoda records identifying the Titled Douluo as Xue Lei, a Tang Sect Battle Soul Hall member.

After Dragon Phoenix Hall revealed evidence linking Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to the Mingdu explosion, Zhao Yi denied responsibility and rejected Yu Guan Zhi’s demand that they surrender.

• Zhao Yi invoked Tang San, claiming he had predicted the crisis twenty thousand years earlier, in an effort to rally their followers.

Zhao Yi enlisted Ah Yin and the Golden Tree to stage a Sea God manifestation declaring Shrek and the Tang Sect innocent, hoping to calm unrest in Shrek City. Di Tian and nine other Limit Douluo publicly called the manifestation a hoax and claimed the God Realm had vanished, but Zhao Yi’s display still persuaded many allies and helped stabilize Shrek and the Tang Sect.

• Zhao Yi told the Sea God Pavilion members he would contact Tang San, then asked Ah Yin to help the Golden Tree create a divine spectacle.
• The Golden Tree sent a golden beam into the sky bearing the words “Sea God: Innocent,” and many Shrek City residents believed the Sea God had cleared Shrek and the Tang Sect.
• Di Tian, Yu Guan Zhi, and Lin Yi concluded that the manifestation was fabricated because the God Realm had disappeared.

A Level 3 Abyss Tide struck the Blood God Legion with far more creatures than Zhang Huanyun had ever faced, though the assault ended after only a few hours.

The Federation leaders remained undecided as the meeting ended, with Yun Ze insisting that Dragon Phoenix Hall would not assist against the abyss unless Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were eliminated first.
