• Mu Ye rushed toward Heaven Dou City as the Dark Blood Demon sensed his blazing aura, while Mu Ye wondered why the enemy seemed weak.

Mu Ye arrived to confront the Dark Blood Demon, whose soul-devouring power was suppressed by Mu Ye’s overwhelming blood vitality. Xu Yuan endured the Demon’s seven curses by merging his Sea of Spirit with Dream Realm Space, and Mu Ye’s blade strike descended as the battle began.

• Mu Ye sensed the Dark Blood Demon and recognized that his power differed from what he had expected of a Quasi-God.
• The Dark Blood Demon realized Mu Ye’s blood vitality could suppress his Soul Devouring ability and considered retreating while Xu Shengqun stalled him.

• Gu Yue sensed the battle from Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and read Di Tian's message warning that Qian Gu Dongfeng had secretly deployed three Ultimate Douluos there.

Gu Yue weighed the threat of the God-Slaying Missile while preparing to consolidate her strength and take control of the Spirit Pagoda after Qian Gu Dongfeng fell. Xu Yuan stopped Dark Blood Demon’s escape, while Chen Xinjie confronted Qian Gu Dongfeng over the Federation’s investigation, leaving the Pagoda Master cornered by the Parliament’s reorganization.

• Gu Yue dismissed reports of three Ultimate Douluo and concluded that Na Er’s disappearance had weakened their connection, then considered how to secure influence in the Spirit Pagoda.
• Gu Yue learned that the Federation possessed the God-Slaying Missile and recognized that its power could threaten her Soul Beast revival plan.
• Xu Yuan used power borrowed through the Dragon Soul Mark to shatter Dark Blood Demon’s attacks, suppress him, and halt his flight.
• Dark Blood Demon landed in a rage, and Xu Yuan withdrew behind Mu Ye as the borrowed power dissipated.
• Chen Xinjie told Qian Gu Dongfeng that his refusal to cooperate justified investigating the Spirit Pagoda’s internal data.
• Qian Gu Dongfeng realized the Federation’s reorganization had removed his allies and left him unable to evade scrutiny over the missing God-Slaying Missile.

Chen Xinjie confronted Qian Gu Dongfeng over the Spirit Pagoda’s refusal to cooperate with a Federation investigation, but Yun Ming and another Quasi-God prevented their dispute from becoming a battle. Inspectors found no files related to Evil Soul Masters, though nine files could not be decoded, and the Prosecutor General hesitated to name the signer of the last one.

• Qian Gu Dongfeng summoned three Ultimate Douluos from his family to confront Chen Xinjie and resist the Federation’s investigation.
• Yun Ming and another Quasi-God arrived and warned that they would intervene to protect Shrek City’s civilians if the Ultimate Douluos fought.

• After three hours, more than three hundred inspectors reported finding no Evil Soul Master material but identified nine files they could not fully decode.
• The Prosecutor General said eight files were signed Xu Zhi, then hesitated when Chen Xinjie asked who signed the ninth.

After the Spirit Pagoda investigation uncovered nine unreadable files signed by Xu Zhi and Xu Yuan, the authorities copied them but found no explanation for their contents. Xu Yuan helped defeat and collect the Dark Blood Demon’s resentful spirit, then traveled to Heaven Dou City, where Mu Ye asked whether collecting it would affect him.

• The Prosecutor General revealed that the ninth unreadable file was signed by Xu Yuan, and Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie joined Qian Gu Dongfeng in examining the files.
• Chen Xinjie ordered copies of all nine files, and Yun Ming took copies for Shrek before the War God Hall and Federation withdrew from the Spirit Pagoda.

• Xu Yuan, Xu Shengqun, and Mu Ye went to Heaven Dou City, where Mu Ye asked how Xu Yuan had mastered Law, Heaven and Earth.
• After Xu Yuan explained how his Vital Energy Embodiment Soul Skill had helped him cultivate Law, Heaven and Earth, Mu Ye asked whether collecting the Dark Blood Demon’s Martial Soul would affect him.

Xu Yuan and Mu Ye discussed using Soul Spirits as the spiritual foundation for Mechas and Battle Armor, potentially creating a new route for their advancement. They concluded that the approach could benefit Forging Masters while making advanced forging more accessible.

• Mu Ye told Xu Yuan that his grand martial uncle needed a top-tier Mecha to pursue Mu Ye's proposed path, and Xu Yuan considered the resources used to build Little Red.
• Mu Ye explained that he and Hu Jie had refined a process for turning Mechas into Soul Spirits by merging a Soul Spirit with a Mecha before it developed sentience.
• Xu Yuan realized the process might also apply to Battle Armor and could offer a new way to advance toward Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Mu Ye explained that a Soul Spirit and Battle Armor would strengthen each other, and that reaching Heavenly Forging through this method would still require exceptional conditions.
• Mu Ye said Zhen Hua supported the idea and believed the system could make Heavenly Forging Soul Forged Metal fused with a Soul Spirit easier to produce.

Mu Ye decided to revive the Body Sect and recruit disciples, while Xu Yuan planned to cultivate at Shrek and investigate his parents’ deaths later. Xu Shengqun offered to investigate Xu Zhi’s death, and Yun Ming grew suspicious of nine strange documents bearing Xu Yuan’s signature in the Spirit Pagoda’s database.

• Xu Yuan considered how Soul Spirits fused with Soul Forged Metal could make Heavenly Forging easier and discussed forging Full Spirit Forged mecha materials with Mu Ye.
• Mu Ye told Xu Yuan he would revitalize the Body Sect and recruit disciples, but worried the sect lacked the resources to support them.
• Xu Yuan said he would train in seclusion at Sea God Pavilion and postpone investigating his parents’ deaths while the Evil Soul Masters remained a threat.

• Xu Yuan agreed to remain with his martial uncle to practice Soul Forging before returning to Shrek.
• Yun Ming examined nine documents from the Spirit Pagoda and questioned why peculiar diagrams in its database bore Xu Yuan’s signature.

Xu Yuan successfully completed Soul Forging on his first attempt, impressing Zhen Hua, who predicted he would become a Divine Craftsman. After Xu Yuan returned to Shrek City, Yun Ming showed him a document bearing his signature that Xu Yuan could not understand.

• Xu Yuan used his careful analysis and multiple auxiliary brains to finish Spirit Forging and Soul Forging the four-in-one Jade Silver alloy.
• Zhen Hua confirmed Xu Yuan's success, predicted he would become a Divine Craftsman, and taught him Soul Forging techniques during his month in Heaven Dou City.
• Xu Shengqun returned to Skysea City, while Mu Ye left the continent under the pretext of seeking an opportunity.
• Yun Ming showed Xu Yuan a document filled with unfamiliar runes and patterns, and Xu Yuan was confused to find his own signature on it.

Xu Yuan examined nine files left by Xu Zhi and found that their patterns were tied to will, much like his Heaven and Earth Runes. Yun Ming realized the discovery might help him understand godhood and open the Soul Master path, but they still did not know what Xu Zhi had been researching.

• Yun Ming told Xu Yuan that eight other files bore Xu Zhi's name, and Xu Yuan arranged all nine together to study their patterns.
• Xu Yuan traced one pattern using Spiritual Power, Soul Power, and Bloodline Power, then explained its resemblance to his Heaven and Earth Runes.
• Xu Yuan said the patterns contained will in their original form, though the will within them had been lost.
• Yun Ming considered whether will could help him break through to godhood and develop the Soul Master system.
• Xu Yuan wondered what his father had been researching when he created the files.

Xu Yuan studied the mysterious patterns left by Xu Zhi as Lan Muzi began his Martial Soul Evolution and attempted to condense Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Yun Ming declared that the continent’s greatest era was just beginning, while Tang Yinmeng reported that the Northern Suppressing King would trade with them if they helped suppress Hell Gate.

• Xu Yuan analyzed the patterns, found that their lines could form many different Soul Guidance Arrays, and memorized all nine in the Dream Realm Space.
• A blazing aura erupted from Sea God Pavilion, and Yun Ming explained that Lan Muzi had completed his Dark Sun Stone Battle Armor and begun his breakthrough.
• Yun Ming described the current continent as an unprecedented era of powerful Soul Masters and said he believed its most glorious age had only just arrived.
• After three days and nights, Lan Muzi’s fluctuations subsided, and Yun Ming said he had begun condensing his Soul Cores.
• On the Demon Plane, Tang Yinmeng told Ya Li and Cai Yue'er that the Northern Suppressing King had agreed to trade if they helped suppress Hell Gate.

Cai Yue'er and the others discussed the Northern Suppressing King's request for help against Hell's invasions, deciding to make contact while remaining cautious of Alba's influence. Fang Yuan returned to Shrek City after more than a month in the Demon Plane, as Inner Courtyard students continued exploring and adapting to its energy.

• Tang Yinmeng explained that the Northern Three Kings had suffered severe army losses and that the Northern Suppressing King wanted help hunting Hell Creatures.
• Cai Yue'er warned that Alba might control the Northern Suppressing King through his bestowed bloodline, but Ya Li supported contacting him to learn more about the Demon Clan and Hell.
• Cai Yue'er decided Zhuo Shi should visit Northern Suppressing King City and told Tang Yinmeng to maintain contact with the Demon Northern King and the Chaos Northern King.
• Ya Li reassured Tang Yinmeng that Lan Muzi was safe, had evolved his Martial Soul, and had begun condensing his Soul Core.
• Fang Yuan returned to Shrek City after more than a month in the Demon Plane, where Inner Courtyard students had been adapting to its Heaven and Earth Energy and exploring with borrowed Mechas.

Fang Yuan returned from a month of solo exploration in the Demon Plane with the God Suppressing Stele’s power to seal demons and use their strength to cultivate. After reaching Level 49, he planned to break through Level 50 and asked Xu Yuan to help forge his Battle Armor components.

• Fang Yuan’s God Suppressing Stele let him withstand the Demon Plane’s energy, explore alone, and seal demons, including a Demon Lord whose power aided his cultivation.
• Fang Yuan explained that sealing demons had helped him rise from Level 46 to Level 49, matching Ye Xinglan, and expected to reach Level 50 within two months.
• Fang Yuan told Xu Yuan he wanted to begin crafting his Battle Armor and asked about forging its Spiritual Alloys.
• Xu Yuan agreed to forge the alloys over the next two months and asked whether Fang Yuan’s Mecha Design had reached Fifth Grade so he could revise his Battle Armor designs.

Xu Yuan gathered the Shrek Seven Devils in the city and revealed that he had become a Saint Craftsman, while checking on their Battle Armor progress. Wu Siduo explained that her Martial Soul Fusion Skill had grown stronger after her Hell Spirit Cat mutated and had gained another form.

• Fang Yuan told Xu Yuan that he had designed his own Battle Armor arrays and planned to ask Ye Xinglan to repair his current components, then hurried off to find her.
• Xu Yuan decided Fang Yuan's recent transformation meant he might soon take the seventh position among the Seven Monsters, and gathered Yue Zhengyu, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi.
• Xu Lizhi asked about Xu Yuan's forging progress, and Xu Yuan revealed that he could perform Soul Forging, stunning the others and securing their hopes for future Three-Word Dou Armor.
• Yue Zhengyu admitted he had delayed finishing his Battle Armor while searching for suitable Demon Plane metals, and Xu Yuan told him to complete it first.
• Wu Siduo said her Battle Armor was being adjusted after her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul mutated and asked Xu Yuan to forge new Spiritual Alloy for her.
• Wu Siduo revealed that her Martial Soul Fusion Skill had grown much stronger and gained another form.

Wu Siduo explained how her mutated Martial Souls had improved her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Xu Yuan discussed forging her new Battle Armor. He then urged Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi to focus on their cultivation and guided Xu Lizhi toward finding combat strength through his Bun Martial Soul.

• Wu Siduo told Xu Yuan that her Martial Soul mutation gave her Netherworld Heavenly Spirit Cat, awakened a Mental Attribute in her White Tiger, and enabled her to use the Netherworld Illusion Spirit Cat fusion skill.
• Wu Siduo showed Xu Yuan a metal rich in Netherworld Power and Spiritual Power, and he agreed to study it for her Battle Armor.
• Xu Yuan warned Ye Xinglan that Fang Yuan could reach Level 50 within two months and encouraged her to stay motivated.
• Xu Yuan criticized Xu Lizhi for relying on Tang Sect Matchless Skills instead of developing his Martial Soul, noting that he was only Level 46.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Lizhi to learn from Oscar's example and seek a way to gain combat strength through his Bun Martial Soul, prompting Xu Lizhi to ponder its characteristics.

Xu Yuan explained how Xu Lizhi could develop combat powers by using his Food-Type Martial Soul to digest and replicate Soul Skill mechanisms, and Xu Lizhi chose to pursue earth-attribute control. Xu Yuan then visited Yuanen Yehui in Yuan City, warned her to remain cautious while Alba was missing, and agreed to help improve her Battle Armor.

• Xu Yuan explained that food-type Soul Masters could digest Soul Skill mechanisms and incorporate their effects into food, allowing Xu Lizhi to pursue combat abilities beyond ordinary enhancements.
• Xu Lizhi chose to develop earth-attribute control through his Second Soul Spirit and planned to communicate with it and cultivate his ability to control Earth Element Power.
• Xu Yuan met Yuanen Yehui in Yuan City and learned that she still could not sense Alba, who had been missing for half a year.
• Xu Yuan advised Yuanen Yehui to cultivate in the Demon Plane for three more months and leave if Alba did not act, then noted her Battle Armor requirements for Spiritual Alloy.
• Xu Yuan left Yuan City and headed west toward a broader region.
