• Mo Lin found Gu Yuena trying to absorb both the Silver Dragon King and Golden Dragon King inheritances despite her incomplete recovery.

• Mo Lin entered the basin and helped Gu Yuena absorb Winged Dragon essence blood, easing her rejection of the Golden Dragon King's inheritance.

• Mo Lin apologized, and Qian Renxue embraced him and asked him not to make her worry again.
• Gu Yuena secretly watched their reunion, then concealed herself with spatial power and went to explore the city.
• Mo Lin asked Qian Renxue what had happened during his absence, and she told him to clean the room before they discussed it.

Qian Renxue told Mo Lin how the Heaven Dou civil war, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s withdrawal, and the Tang Sect’s collapse had reshaped the continent. She explained how she used Dai Weisi to restore the Star Luo Empire and extend Grace Hall’s influence, leaving Mo Lin teasing her about marriage and whether their organizations should remain separate.

• Prince Xue Xing’s faction and the crown prince’s faction proclaimed themselves emperors and declared war, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect withdrew and recalled its disciples.
• The Tang Sect lost its connections and customers after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s seclusion, and its expensive hidden weapons left the sect in financial ruin and forced it to disband.

• Qian Renxue told Mo Lin that nearly one-third of the major cities had pledged allegiance, with half of those city lords resigning from their posts.
• Mo Lin teased Qian Renxue for calling the officials “people from your Grace Hall,” and she blushed as she said she would consider them his after they married.

• Mo Lin reunited with his five students and learned that they had all become two-ring Soul Grandmasters with strong combat abilities and soul beast partners.

Mo Lin prepared a demonstration for the Soul Masters of Grace Hall by stepping into the battle between Snow Empress and Yazi. He blocked both beasts’ attacks at once and absorbed the energy they contained, leaving the onlookers stunned.

• Mo Lin asked Lou Gao to deactivate the arena’s protective barrier when commanded and asked Qiuniu to gather all Soul Masters of Soul Sage rank or above.
• Qiuniu gathered the Soul Masters while Snow Empress and Yazi continued fighting inside the barrier, whose power neared its limit.
• When Snow Empress and Yazi charged at each other, Mo Lin ordered Lou Gao to deactivate the barrier and leaped into the arena.
• Mo Lin reached the center ahead of Snow Empress and Yazi, then stopped Snow Empress’s palm strike with his right hand and caught Yazi’s hand blade with his left.
• Snow Empress and Yazi realized Mo Lin had absorbed the Soul Power, cold air, and killing intent from both attacks.

Mo Lin demonstrated True Body Possession, a technique that let soul masters use their Martial Soul Avatar while retaining their human form, and explained it to the Grace Hall soul masters. He said it could be learned by Soul Sages, though mastering the method would require considerable effort.

• Grace Hall shifted from rapid captures to a steady advance, while Mo Lin’s use of Title Douluo to lead troops was described as an unprecedented break with wartime conventions.
• Other nations and factions assumed Grace Hall had only four Title Douluo and had already revealed its strongest fighters, leaving threatened city lords less worried.
• The lord of Dusk Sleep City met a shadowy cult member and asked whether the people he had sent to the cult leader had pleased him.
• The city lord warned that Grace Hall’s advance might soon reach Dusk Sleep City, and the shadowy figure listened as his displeasure eased.

The Dusk Sleep City Lord worried that Grace Hall’s takeover of major cities would remove the officials protecting the evil soul masters, while a shadow promised to report his concerns. A month later, Demon Douluo gathered five other Title Douluo and urged them to kill Grace Hall, whose control over its territories threatened their ability to hide.

• The Dusk Sleep City Lord warned a shadow that Grace Hall might replace him and leave the sect without protection, and the shadow said it would report the matter to the sect leader.
• A month later, six evil soul master Title Douluo gathered in a forest cave, where Blood Jackal Douluo and Wraith Douluo traded insults before Demon Douluo silenced them.
• Demon Douluo explained that Grace Hall’s control over its cities and regular reassignment of city lords would cut off the evil soul masters’ escape routes.

• Demon Douluo dismissed the question of Grace Hall’s motives and called for the evil soul masters to kill them.

Six groups of evil soul masters infiltrated Gengxin City to attack Grace Hall and frame other factions, while Mo Lin reviewed war reports and discussed the cost of casualties with Qian Renxue. A tremor and the presence of evil Soul Power alerted them to the intruders, but Mo Lin believed the defenders had already dealt with them.

• Blood Jackal Douluo chose to kill a patrol to help his group pass into the inner city, while the other five groups also entered.
• The evil soul masters headed for Grace Hall's headquarters, hoping to slow its advance and provoke conflict with other factions by disguising who was responsible.

• Mo Lin stopped Yazi from punching the captured Blood Jackal Douluo and revealed his overwhelming dragon’s might.
• Qian Renxue mocked Blood Jackal Douluo for apparently being the only Titled Douluo among the attackers, causing him to rage, spit blood, and faint.
• Mo Lin realized the attackers might not all belong to the same group and ordered the patrol guards to take the unconscious evil soul masters to the dungeon with their Soul Power sealed.
• Mock Wind remarked that the attackers had sent many powerful soul masters, but Qian Renxue explained that evil soul masters treated even Titled Douluos as disposable if they had enough sacrifices.
• Qian Renxue reasoned that the defeated attackers were probably cannon fodder sent by rival hidden evil soul master organizations to test Grace Hall.

After sixty-eight Grace Hall brothers died in an attack by evil soul masters, Mo Lin blamed himself and turned Wind Queen's Arcane Gate into a city-protecting formation covering Gengxin City. The costly act left him gravely weakened, and Qilin and Phoenix rushed in to support him.

• Mo Lin learned from Yu Tianxin that sixty-eight of their brothers had died and dismissed him after reflecting on his failure to anticipate an evil soul master attack.
• Mo Lin fixed Wind Queen's Arcane Gate's central palace at Grace Hall and used much of his Soul Power, Winged Dragon blood essence, and divine power to create a self-sustaining formation around Gengxin City.
• The completed formation left Mo Lin pale and barely able to stand, though he believed it would prevent another attack like the one the night before.
• Qilin and Phoenix sensed Mo Lin's weakness and changes in the surrounding world, rushed to his side, and sent their Soul Power and divine power into him.

• Qilin and Phoenix helped Mo Lin recover after sensing that he was in danger.
• Mo Lin confirmed that he had created the dragon vein beneath Gengxin City, leaving Qilin and Phoenix puzzled by the cost.

When Spirit Hall summoned factions to discuss fighting the evil soul masters just as Grace Hall neared control of the former Star Luo Empire, Mo Lin suspected Qian Daoliu had overpowered Bibi Dong and decided to go to Spirit Hall himself.

• Mo Lin gave Qilin and Phoenix a booklet of evil soul master strongholds and ordered them to carry out a mission with Qiuniu and Grace Hall’s soul beast elders.
• Grace Hall publicly revealed that evil soul masters had attacked Gengxin City, prompting factions across the continent to suspect one another.
• The city-states of the former Star Luo Empire grew more divided, allowing Grace Hall’s army to seize three-quarters of its territory.
• Spirit Hall announced that factions should pause their conflicts and send representatives to Spirit City on the first day of the next month to discuss the evil soul masters.
• Mo Lin suspected Qian Daoliu had acted against Bibi Dong and decided to go to Spirit Hall despite his unrecovered body.

Mo Lin brought Grace Hall’s delegation to Spirit City for Spirit Hall’s gathering on evil soul masters, knowing the visit could turn confrontational. After detecting a powerful observer watching them, he assigned his companions defensive roles and prepared to enter Worship Hall with Bi'an.

• Mo Lin traveled to Spirit City with Qilin, Phoenix, Snow Empress, and Bi'an, while Qian Renxue stayed behind to guard Gengxin City.

Mo Lin infiltrated the Papal Palace and learned that Qian Daoliu had taken Hu Liena because her divine inheritance supposedly conflicted with the Angel God, while Bibi Dong hinted that her own Rakshasa inheritance had not been public knowledge.

• Mo Lin questioned why Qian Daoliu objected to Hu Liena’s inheritance when Bibi Dong had once inherited the opposing Rakshasa God, and Bibi Dong asked whether he thought that had been a secret.

Mo Lin learned that Qian Daoliu had used Spirit Hall’s Angel God loyalties to keep Bibi Dong’s authority in check, then stormed the Worship Hall to demand his Senior Sister’s release. After Mo Lin and his allies overwhelmed the worshipers, Qian Daoliu realized Grace Hall could rival or surpass Spirit Hall and Sea God Island.

• Bibi Dong explained how Qian Daoliu’s influence and Spirit Hall’s Angel God traditions limited her power as Pope.
• Mo Lin rushed to the Worship Hall and demanded that Qian Daoliu release his Senior Sister.

• Mo Lin struck Golden Crocodile Douluo with a single punch, severely injuring him and forcing Qian Daoliu to catch him.
• Qian Daoliu recognized that Grace Hall’s strength could rival or surpass Spirit Hall and Sea God Island.

Mo Lin confronted Qian Daoliu after defeating Golden Crocodile Douluo, demanding that he release Hu Liena and accusing him of using her to target Bibi Dong. He warned Qian Daoliu not to involve others in their conflict, then asked one last time whether he would release his senior sister.

• Qian Daoliu signaled Qianjun Douluo to take the injured Golden Crocodile Douluo away, while Mo Lin let them go.
• Mo Lin demanded that Qian Daoliu release Hu Liena or tell him where she was, and accused him of targeting Bibi Dong through her disciple.
