• Yu Xiaogang drank pesticide to trigger a Martial Soul mutation, but it poisoned him and caused him to collapse.

Yin Hongye and the others reached the Dragon God's divine soul, where Di Qiuer and Na'er received its golden and silver energies. Yin Hongye took the Dragon God's Heart and rewound time to reveal the Dragon God War, leaving Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts to learn how their parents had died.

• Yin Hongye showed Di Tian the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core as the group entered Dragon Valley and encountered the Mountain Dragon King's enormous, cleaved skeleton.
• Yin Hongye and the others descended into the valley and found the Dragon God's seven-colored divine soul.
• The Dragon God's divine soul sent golden and silver energy into Di Qiuer and Na'er, then faded as two diamond-shaped crystals appeared.

• Yin Hongye took the Dragon God's Heart and used its energy to rewind time, revealing the Dragon God War and the deaths of Di Tian's parents.

• Di Tian realized that his parents had died in the catastrophe, while Yin Hongye questioned why the Dragon Kings had not simply restrained the Dragon God together.

Yin Hongye showed Di Tian and the others how the Dragon God War began and how the Dragon God’s final decree barred Soul Beasts from becoming gods. The revelation enraged Soul Beasts across two eras, and Yin Hongye’s bluff drew a hidden presence out of the void.

• The Asura God prepared to kill the unconscious Dragon God, but the Dragon Clan Ritual Blade intervened, mistaking the gods for the killers of the Ten Dragon Kings and starting the war.
• The God Realm suffered catastrophic destruction as gods fell, until the awakened Dragon God absorbed the resentment and stabilized what remained.

• Di Tian, Na'er, and other Soul Beasts were stunned by the decree, while beasts in two eras and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King erupted in anger and despair.
• Yin Hongye bluffed toward the void and challenged the hidden watcher, who began to emerge.

Yin Hongye confronted the Dragon God in Dragon Valley, forcing him to awaken and making Di Tian confront him over the Dragon Clan’s destruction.

• Yin Hongye’s Blood Sea spread and his nine Soul Rings merged, prompting the Dragon God to ask how it contained so much resentment.

Yin Hongye fought the Dragon God to learn about Soul Beast rules and the conditions for inheriting the Dragon God's position. He proposed Di Qiuer as a candidate, demonstrated that his Blood Dao could reproduce the Silver Dragon King's powers, and the Dragon God left a drop of seven-colored blood before fleeing; then a golden dragon soul appeared.

• Yin Hongye used baleful energy and Karmic Fire against the Dragon God, who confirmed that the Soul Ring rule had always existed and that removing the restriction on Soul Beasts becoming gods required inheriting his unique Divine Position.
• The Dragon God said a successor needed both Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King powers, while Na'er realized she had no inheritance rights.
• Yin Hongye proposed Di Qiuer as a candidate and used blood dragons with seven elements to show the Dragon God that his Blood Dao could reproduce the Silver Dragon King's powers.
• The Dragon God accepted Di Qiuer as a possible successor, left behind a drop of seven-colored blood, and fled to avoid the baleful energy.
• Yin Hongye considered collecting Dragon King's Dragon Pills, and a golden dragon soul appeared, prompting Di Tian to recognize it as his father.

Di Tian confronted the Light Dragon King’s Dragon Soul over his parents’ deaths, while Yin Hongye asked to use the Light Dragon King’s bones to repair Qian Renxue’s Angel Holy Sword. The group found the Light Dragon King’s corpse and headed toward the Dark Dragon King, leaving Di Tian to face another painful hurdle.

• Di Tian accused the Light Dragon King of abandoning him and failing to protect the Dragon Clan, and the Dragon Soul admitted he had followed his duty to the Dragon God.
• Yin Hongye asked where the Light Dragon King’s corpse was so he could borrow its bones, and the Dragon Soul recognized Yin Hongye’s Karmic Fire and led him onward.

• Di Tian explained that his father had been the foremost of the Ten Dragon Kings and had governed light, life, creation, and criminal law.
• Yin Hongye asked about the Dark Dragon King to obtain materials for the repair, and Di Tian hesitated before following the Light Dragon King toward her ravine.

Yin Hongye gathered Dragon King remains and Dragon Valley resentment while Di Qiuer absorbed the Dragon God’s blood and Na’er found a new goal. The group left Dragon Valley with their preparations complete as the war elsewhere reached its fiercest stage.

• The Dark Dragon King let Yin Hongye take her remains and entrusted the Dragon Valley’s resentment to the Golden Dragon King, while she spoke privately with Di Tian.
• Yin Hongye sealed Dragon Valley’s resentment into the Golden Dragon King’s Divine Core and encouraged Qian Renxue to seek the Light Dragon King’s guidance.

• Yin Hongye led the group out of Dragon Valley, where the war had reached a stalemate and the Star Luo Empire had deployed its State-Protecting Divine Artifact.

Yin Hongye learned that the Vajra Bracelet was disrupting Green Skeleton's campaign against Star Luo and explained its history to Qian Renxue. The Heavenly Screen's vision prompted rulers and factions to covet the artifact, while Shrek Academy's tournament record and an approaching Sun Moon Empire attack left the chapter on the verge of new conflicts.

• Chu Tiange wielded the Vajra Bracelet on the Star Luo battlefield, absorbing Green Skeleton's Soul Tool volleys and helping halt its advance.
• Yin Hongye contacted Mu Hongchen, who said Green Skeleton had the upper hand but could not take the city while the Vajra Bracelet remained in play.
• Yin Hongye told Qian Renxue how Star Luo had seized the Vajra Bracelet from the continent's natives and explained its ability to swallow weapons and suppress Artifact Martial Souls.
• The Star Luo emperor, reacting to the Heavenly Screen, ordered a fleet to search for the Vajra Bracelet, and families in Star Luo City began preparing ships as well.
• Sea Soul Masters and the Sun Moon Empire grew interested in obtaining the Vajra Bracelet, while Shrek Academy reached the end of the round-robin stage without winning a match.
• Sun Moon Empire personnel headed toward Shrek Academy and set up Soul Tool launch platforms for a fireworks display.

The Sun Moon Empire attacked Shrek Academy with new Soul Cannons, devastating the campus while Mu En struggled to defend it. On another battlefield, Yin Hongye stole the Vajra Bracelet, used it to slaughter Star Luo soldiers, and framed the Holy Spirit Cult, leaving Dai Tianling desperate enough to seek the Federation’s help.

• Sun Moon Empire forces fired New-Model Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannons at Shrek Academy, overwhelming Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Mu En’s defenses and setting the academy ablaze.

• Dai Tianling received the military report and ordered his forces to seek the Federation’s help against the Holy Spirit Cult.

Several months later, the Federation agreed to aid the faltering Star Luo Empire in exchange for rare mineral veins and sent Yin Hongye to negotiate while preserving the conflict’s current balance. Yin Hongye prepared to secure an even better deal, leaving Na'er to watch and learn his approach to negotiations.

• Star Luo Empire’s request for aid stunned the Federal Parliament, and Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi realized Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen had helped Green Skeleton seize nearly half the country.
• Xu Tiankuo proposed sending Yin Hongye to negotiate, while the Federation planned to station troops in Star Luo under the pretext of protecting it.
• Chen Xinjie ordered Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen to negotiate for more mineral veins and keep the conflict at its current level; Yin Hongye denied involvement in Green Skeleton’s rise.
• Yin Hongye set out for negotiations with Mu Hongchen, Qian Renxue, Na'er, and Di Qiuer, telling Na'er to learn how to refuse to yield an inch.

Yin Hongye bullied Dai Tianling into accepting the Federation’s harsh terms while pretending to negotiate reasonably. After leaving the palace, he and Mu Hongchen enlisted Xu Tiankuo to cover for them and planned further schemes before heading to meet Chen Xinjie on the coast.

• Yin Hongye demanded port leases, mining rights, and Federation troops from Dai Tianling, threatening force if the Star Luo Empire refused.

• Yin Hongye proposed going to the coast to meet Chen Xinjie and submit their assignment as Federation forces advanced into the Star Luo Empire.

• Yan Shaozhe called Huo Yuhao and the others into Sea God Pavilion, saying that the academy remained as long as they did.

After Shrek Academy was bombarded, Huo Yuhao faced blame for his future self’s actions and considered seeking a second Martial Soul in the Far North. Meanwhile, Yin Hongye built a prison using an Anti-Magic Domain and looping space, then planned to bring Ling Zichen in to help develop it further.

• Yan Shaozhe told Xuan Zi that the Sun Moon Empire had bombarded Shrek Academy, leaving Mu En barely alive and sustained by the Golden Ancient Tree.
• Zhang Lexuan blamed Huo Yuhao for the attack because of his future actions, and Huo Yuhao silently questioned whether he had harmed the academy.

• Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen tested the sealed tunnel on death-row prisoners and discussed adding looping space to make the prison inescapable.
• Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen decided to invite Ling Zichen to help with the prison and borrow more money from the Tang Sect.

Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen recruited Ling Zichen to help build a prison, after testing her new God Rank mecha and looting the Tang Sect warehouse. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin joined Shrek Academy and found it far weaker than expected, as its first-year final examination led to repeated rescue attempts and compensation.

• Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen arrived at the Tang Sect, where the terrified members assumed they had come to rob them again.
• Ling Zichen showed them her God Rank mecha, but its heat problem caused nearby buildings to catch fire.

• Tang Wulin joined Shrek Academy under Wu Changkong and was surprised by how depleted and talent-poor the academy had become.
• The first-year final examination trapped Wu Changkong and his junior sister, prompting repeated rescue attempts and forcing Yun Ming to offer Life Crystals as compensation.

Yin Hongye completed a prototype prison and traveled with his companions to Heavenly Destiny City to obtain the Stargazing Platform’s Star Power array. As Tang Wulin and his companions arrived, they remained unaware of the trouble awaiting them.

• Yin Hongye finished a temporary prison prototype that suppressed Martial Souls and Soul Power, then decided to take the Stargazing Platform’s Soul Tool array for its energy supply.

• Yin Hongye drove his group to the Heavenly Destiny Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, where Li Zhilong guided them to the Stargazing Platform.
• Yin Hongye had Li Zhilong activate the Stargazing Platform, whose array filled the daylight sky with stars and drew the interest of Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei, and the Crown Sect.
• Tang Wulin and his companions arrived at the Stargazing Platform and saw Yin Hongye’s group.

Yin Hongye and his group encountered Tang Wulin’s companions at the Stargazing Platform, then traveled toward Mingdu through an abandoned tunnel. Qian Renxue learned the brutal terms of Shrek Academy’s final examination, while Mu En was left appalled by the academy’s methods.

• Di Qiuer and Na'er benefited from the Stargazing Platform’s Star Power, and Yin Hongye explained that he had designed the platform as a prison.
• Tang Wulin’s group arrived, and Xu Xiaoyan’s Star Wheel Ice Staff transformed as Yin Hongye recognized its potential for Martial Soul mutation.
• Di Qiuer declared she might reach Soul Emperor within a year, while Na'er revealed she had already become a Soul King, leaving Xie Xie discouraged.

• Yin Hongye recalled killing eight Shrek examinees who had ambushed him, and Mu En nearly lost his last breath upon hearing how Shrek tested the world’s powers.

Mu En vowed to reform Shrek Academy after seeing its brutal future assessment, while Yin Hongye’s looping prison trapped students and teachers from the academy. Cai Yue'er confronted Yin Hongye over their disappearance, and he told her someone had paid him to beat her up.

• Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Zheng Yiran, Wu Changkong, Shen Yi, Old Li, and Zhuo Shi became trapped in the looping tunnels and failed to return after the assessment ended.
• Cai Yue'er left Shrek Academy to demand the students’ return, and Yin Hongye offered to release them for ten million Federation Credits per person before revealing the offer to beat her up.
