• Xuan Zi reflected on his life, then unleashed his Rank 98 Soul Power and self-destructed after Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen contained the blast.

• Titan said the Clear Sky Sect would oppose the empire’s unification of the continent, hoping to protect Tang San’s Millennium Plan.

Mu En agreed to an equal alliance with Titan and the Clear Sky Sect against the Sun Moon Empire, while remaining wary of Titan’s motives. Titan then convinced him that Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect must overthrow the Star Luo and Heaven Dou imperial families before they could surrender to the enemy.

• Mu En agreed to ally with Titan’s Clear Sky Sect as an equal partner and urged both sides to prepare for the Sun Moon Empire’s offensive.

• Mu En ordered Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Dai Hao, and the others to attack Xu Jiawei and the nobles.
• Xu Jiawei sent a worshiper to take Xu Jiujiu and the imperial family to the Sun Moon Empire while he stayed behind to hold off Mu En's forces.

• Xu Jiujiu resolved to preserve the Xu Family and avenge her brother, then told the fleeing group to either follow her to the Sun Moon Empire or return to die.

Titan and Niu Tian brought the Clear Sky Sect out of seclusion to ally with Shrek Academy against the Sun Moon Empire, but the sect also pursued its own ambition to dominate the continent. They attacked the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body Sect, leaving Du Busi helpless before their overwhelming strength.

• After hearing Titan’s account of his agreement with Mu En, Niu Tian agreed to bring the Clear Sky Sect out of seclusion and join the war against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Titan and Niu Tian persuaded the Clear Sky Sect’s elders to support their plan, and the sect’s members eagerly left Cloud Recesses Unknown Depths.

The Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy seized control of the Heaven Soul and Star Luo Empires, while Ye Xishui welcomed Zhongli Wu’s death and prepared the Holy Spirit Cult to fight the Sun Moon Empire alongside them. Long Xiaoyao warned that their allies might turn against the cult after the war, but Ye Xishui remained confident and considered counterattacking Sun Moon territory.

• News of the two empires’ upheavals spread across the continent, revealing Shrek Academy’s and the Clear Sky Sect’s ambitions.
• Long Xiaoyao asked Ye Xishui about Zhongli Wu’s death, and Ye Xishui dismissed him as a fool who had brought his death upon himself.

• Huo Yuhao concluded that Shrek Academy had been driven into a desperate corner by its allies' mistakes and warned Xu Tianran not to repeat its errors.
• Xu Tianran asked Huo Yuhao whether the Sun Moon Empire should attack or expose its enemies' actions, and Huo Yuhao advised doing both and declaring war on Star Luo and Heaven Soul immediately.

Xu Tianran’s propaganda weakened support for Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect as both powers faced resistance for taking over neighboring empires. The Clear Sky Sect renamed the Heaven Dou Empire the Clear Sky Empire and crushed rebellions, leaving Mu En convinced that allying with them had been a grave mistake.

• Xu Tianran spread accusations against Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect, while people in the Star Luo Empire rejected the Dai Family’s return and favored joining the Sun Moon Empire.

• Mu En lamented that the Clear Sky Sect had exposed its ambition to rule the continent, making Shrek Academy’s allies seem untrustworthy.
• Yan Shaozhe and Dai Hao informed Mu En that the Sun Moon Empire had declared war and was marching toward the border.

• Yan Shaozhe insisted that the Dai Family contribute its forces, and Dai Hao agreed to personally lead the Star Luo Empire’s army.
• Mu En recognized that the alliance was likely to distrust one another and avoid the front line, unlike the united Sun Moon Empire.

Mu En gathered the Clear Sky Sect and Holy Spirit Cult to coordinate a response to the Sun Moon Empire’s war declaration. Tang Wei’s ultimatum to keep the Holy Spirit Cult out of Clear Sky Empire territory provoked Ye Xishui into a fight, which Titan allowed to continue.

• Mu En met with Titan, Tang Wei, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao and proposed that all three factions send powerful fighters against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Ye Xishui agreed to mobilize the Holy Spirit Cult, but Tang Wei declared that its members would be killed if they entered Clear Sky Empire territory.

• Mu En and Long Xiaoyao prepared to intervene, but Titan stopped them and said the combatants should fight first.
• Mu En and Long Xiaoyao watched the fight and caught up while Titan secretly enjoyed the spectacle.

• Mu En warned that the Sun Moon Empire could take advantage if the two factions fought, and Long Xiaoyao pulled Ye Xishui back from escalating the conflict.
• Titan agreed that the arguing should end and called for the alliance to discuss how to deal with the Sun Moon Empire.

Titan and Tang Wei tried to establish the Clear Sky Sect’s dominance over its alliance with Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, while Mu En and Long Xiaoyao pushed back. The chapter ended with Mu En smoothing over the confrontation so the allies could prepare for the Sun Moon Empire’s approaching army.

• Titan said the Clear Sky Empire could fight the Sun Moon Empire alone and assigned the Holy Spirit Cult to help defend the Star Luo Empire’s border.
• Mu En recognized the Clear Sky Sect’s attempt to make itself supreme in the alliance, but accepted that Shrek Academy needed help and urged Titan to support their allies if they were attacked.
• Titan refused to interfere in the Clear Sky Empire’s decisions because he had agreed to the Tang Family’s demand that he and Niu Tian not meddle in its actions.
• Tang Wei insulted the Holy Spirit Cult, prompting Long Xiaoyao to threaten the cult’s withdrawal and warn that the Clear Sky Sect could not afford to lose the war.
• Mu En intervened to defuse the dispute and urged everyone to return and prepare for battle against the Sun Moon Empire’s army.

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui left to join Shrek Academy in resisting the Sun Moon Empire, while Mu En headed for Star Luo City and worried about Shrek’s alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult. Ju Zi chose to join the war against the Star Luo Empire to avenge the Dai Family, leaving Huo Yuhao with a promise of an important gift.

• Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui departed to lead the Holy Spirit Cult to the Star Luo Empire and join Shrek Academy against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Mu En reminded Titan and Tang Wei of their agreement to support one another, but Tang Wei reaffirmed that the Clear Sky Sect would not abandon its allies.

• Ju Zi told Huo Yuhao she would join the army to take revenge on the Dai Family, and he gave her Soul Tools for protection.
• Ju Zi left with Ke Ke after promising Huo Yuhao an important gift, while Gu Yuena questioned why he had not stopped her.
