Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Snow Empress confronted Ah Yin at Shrek Academy’s Golden Ancient Tree and revealed that they knew her identity as the Blue Silver Emperor. After sensing the fortune she had accumulated, Gu Yuena decided to make Ah Yin the Soul Beast Clan’s new Auspicious Beast and demanded that she accept the role.

As the Sun Moon Empire attacked the Star Luo Empire, the Clear Sky Empire betrayed its alliance by refusing to send reinforcements. Mu En planned to pressure it into action, but news arrived that Shrek Academy had been destroyed and its Golden Ancient Tree stolen.

• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena accompanied the Snow Empress to the Far North as the war began.
• The Clear Sky Empire ignored Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire’s pleas for help, hoping their enemies would weaken one another.
• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao grew furious at the Clear Sky Empire’s betrayal, and Mu En ordered Yan Shaozhe to threaten it with being dragged down alongside Shrek.
• A messenger reported that Shrek Academy had been attacked, Elder Gong and the defenders had been killed, and the Golden Ancient Tree had been stolen.
• The messenger revealed that Shrek Academy had already been razed to the ground.

After Shrek Academy was destroyed, Mu En gave up on saving it and decided to reveal Ye Xishui’s schemes to Long Xiaoyao. Long Xiaoyao learned that Ye Xishui had manipulated him for over a hundred years, while Ye Xishui feared he would leave her.

• Huo Yuhao and his companions looted Shrek Academy before Fixed Soul Tool Cannon Shells reduced it to ruins.

• Mu En told Long Xiaoyao the truth, leaving Long Xiaoyao stunned that Ye Xishui had manipulated him for over a hundred years.

Long Xiaoyao learned that Ye Xishui had manipulated him and that Yan Shaozhe was their descendant, but he chose to forgive her and hide the truth from Yan Shaozhe. Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Empire stayed out of the war while monitoring the Sun Moon Empire’s Battle Armor, resolving to seize or destroy the technology if it won.

• The Clear Sky Sect saw the Sun Moon Empire’s Girl Squad and Battle Armor display greater power than expected and grew eager to obtain the technology.
• The Clear Sky Empire’s leaders decided that after winning the war, they would seize the Soul Tool technology or destroy it so no one else could possess it.

After a battle, Huo Yuhao summoned Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao and had Ah Yin examine their bodies and treat their hidden injuries. Ah Yin then offered to examine Huo Yuhao as well, leaving him struggling to control his desire.

• Mu En, Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and three Sun Moon Empire Rank Nine Soul Engineers fought apart from the main battlefield while both sides held back.
• Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao continued fighting for the Holy Spirit Cult, earning Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao’s approval and Mu En’s envy.

• Ah Yin found that Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire and Tang Ya’s use of Dark Blue Silver Grass had caused serious hidden injuries, and promised she could treat them.
• Noticing Huo Yuhao’s arousal, Ah Yin offered to examine his body too, then hinted that there were other ways to resolve his condition.

Huo Yuhao had Ah Yin treat Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, then learned that Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Clear Sky Sect distrusted one another and pursued their own aims. Back at camp, he directed his allies to intensify the war and force Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult to turn against the Clear Sky Empire.

• Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress asked Huo Yuhao about his meeting with Mu En, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao, and he said their factions were likely to destroy one another alongside the Clear Sky Sect.
• The Snow Empress noticed an unusual smell on Huo Yuhao, but he blamed it on the Golden Ancient Tree's power, and the women accepted his explanation.
• Huo Yuhao urged the women to intensify the war so Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult would blame the Clear Sky Empire for withholding support and drag it into the conflict.

Niu Tian and Titan urged Tang Wei and the Clear Sky Sect elders to aid Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult against the Sun Moon Empire, but the Tang Family leaders insisted on keeping control of the Clear Sky Empire.

• Niu Tian and Titan warned Tang Wei that the Sun Moon Empire was close to defeating Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, putting the Clear Sky Empire at risk.

• Niu Tian reflected that the Clear Sky Empire had abandoned its allies and feared that the Sun Moon Empire would attack it after defeating Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult.

Niu Tian warned Tang Wei that the Clear Sky Empire risked becoming the Sun Moon Empire’s next target if it stayed out of the war, but Tang Wei left without committing to his advice. Niu Tian and Titan then considered waking Tang Hao, concluding that he and the Blue Silver Emperor were their last hope.

• Niu Tian urged Tang Wei to have the Clear Sky Empire declare a superficial war on the Sun Moon Empire so Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult would not turn against it.
• Tang Wei left with the two elders after warning Titan not to form another unauthorized alliance.
• Titan complained about Tang Wei, and Niu Tian said they might awaken Tang Hao if the Clear Sky Empire kept acting against their interests.
• Titan worried that waking Tang Hao without Tang San’s consent would bring punishment and jeopardize their hopes of seeing Sister Xiao Wu.

• Tang Wei told the Clear Sky Sect elders that Niu Tian’s proposed pretense of war could trigger a real conflict and said the Clear Sky Empire would ignore Niu Tian and Titan’s demands.
• Tang Wei refused to send Yan Shaozhe away and ordered the elders to gather intelligence on the Sun Moon Empire’s geniuses and prepare to eliminate them.
• Tang Wei declared that the Clear Sky Empire should kill Wang Dong’er, while he went to placate Yan Shaozhe and the other elders began preparing for war.
• Huo Yuhao became more experienced in raising Ah Yin, who was bound to him by their Master-Servant Contract and eagerly obeyed his requests.

Huo Yuhao learned from Ah Yin that Tang Hao was asleep in the Clear Sky Sect under Niu Tian and Titan’s guard, serving as one of Tang San’s contingencies. He decided to attack before Tang Hao could awaken, and Ah Yin agreed to help him.

• Huo Yuhao asked Ah Yin what contingencies Tang San had arranged on Douluo Continent, but Ah Yin knew few details.
• Ah Yin said Tang Hao was likely asleep in the Clear Sky Sect, where Niu Tian and Titan guarded him so he would not alert the Plane Will.
• Huo Yuhao concluded Tang Hao was a major threat and considered striking the Clear Sky Sect before Niu Tian and Titan awakened him.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ah Yin to assist him in dealing with Tang Hao, and Ah Yin readily agreed.

• Gu Yuena asked Ah Yin whether Tang Hao would awaken when someone entered the Barrier, and Ah Yin confirmed that only someone with power comparable to or greater than a God King could avoid triggering him.

• Ah Yin called Huo Yuhao Master and told Tang Hao to shut up, leaving Tang Hao furious and directing his killing intent at Huo Yuhao.
