• Xu Tianran said he would drive out the Holy Spirit Cult once it became useless to him.
• Huo Yuhao prepared to ask Jing Hongchen for permission to visit the Far North, subdue soul beasts, and arrange access to its mineral deposits.

Huo Yuhao asked Jing Hongchen to help him explore the Far North after his Eye of Destiny revealed valuable mineral resources there. Jing Hongchen recruited Luan Feng and the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion, and Luan Feng requested that Mingde Hall prioritize supplying her legion with devices made from the mined metals.

• Huo Yuhao told Jing Hongchen that he wanted to travel to the Far North and claimed his Eye of Destiny had revealed opportunities and precious mineral resources there.

• Jing Hongchen asked Huo Yuhao to decide how to respond to Luan Feng's request.

Huo Yuhao brought Jing Hongchen and Luan Feng to the Far North to locate rare metals for the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion. There, Ice Empress and Snow Empress discussed choosing successors for the Far North’s Soul Beasts, and the Legion’s surveyors discovered abundant deposits.

Huo Yuhao left the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion’s encampment to seek an opportunity in the Far North after reassuring Jing Hongchen with his Eye of Destiny. In the Core Region, he brought Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out to revisit their former homeland.

• Jing Hongchen praised Huo Yuhao’s contributions to the Sun Moon Empire and hesitated to let him explore the dangerous Far North alone.
• Huo Yuhao claimed his Eye of Destiny showed he would be safe and accepted several Level 6 Invincible Barriers from Jing Hongchen.
• Huo Yuhao flew away from the encampment and reached the Far North Core Region.
• Huo Yuhao called Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out of his Sea of Consciousness.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recalled Ice Empress hunting him there, and Ice Empress said she would have killed and eaten him if he had not escaped.

Huo Yuhao proposed that the Snow Empress let dying soul beasts become Spirit Souls, and she agreed to discuss the plan with the Far North Land's inhabitants. The Snow Empress summoned the soul beasts, including the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King, and greeted them warmly.

• Huo Yuhao suggested establishing a Spirit Pagoda outpost so soul beasts nearing the end of their lives could become Spirit Souls, and the Snow Empress agreed to explain the plan to the others.
• The Snow Empress danced and released an aura to summon the soul beasts of the Far North Land.
• Soul beasts gathered in the Core Circle, and the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King arrived.
• The Snow Empress greeted the Titan Snow Demon King as A Tai and patted the Ice Bear King's head, teasing him about getting fatter.
• The Ice Bear King worried that the Snow Empress might become distant and offered to eat less.

Snow Empress named the Titan Snow Demon King as her successor, then privately revealed to him and Ice Bear King that she had become Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Soul. The Titan Snow Demon King accepted the explanation but questioned how a Soul Engineer had managed to capture Snow Empress’s embryo at such a suspiciously opportune moment.

• Snow Empress told the gathered soul beasts that her approaching Heavenly Tribulation might kill her and that the Far North needed a successor.
• After Ice Empress declined because her own Heavenly Tribulation was near, Snow Empress appointed the Titan Snow Demon King as ruler of the Far North.
• Snow Empress dismissed most of the gathering and kept the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King behind while Ice Empress went to address the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
• Snow Empress explained that she had already become Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Soul, and Huo Yuhao taught the two beasts about Spirit Souls.
• The Titan Snow Demon King questioned how a Soul Engineer had infiltrated the Far North Core Circle and taken Snow Empress’s embryo at precisely the moment she transformed.

Huo Yuhao gained the Titan Snow Demon King's agreement to let near-death Soul Beasts become Spirit Souls and made the Far North leader a Spirit Pagoda partner. After Huo Yuhao returned riding the Ice Bear King, Jing Hongchen and Luan Feng were stunned by his bond with a powerful Soul Beast.

• Huo Yuhao proposed that Far North Soul Beasts with little time left become Spirit Souls, and the Titan Snow Demon King agreed to cooperate with the Spirit Pagoda.
• The Ice Bear King asked to become Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul, and Huo Yuhao said there would be an opportunity later.
• Huo Yuhao left with the Ice Bear King to rejoin Jing Hongchen and the others.
• Jing Hongchen and Luan Feng feared a Tide of Beasts and decided to find Huo Yuhao and take him to safety.
• Jing Hongchen and Luan Feng saw Huo Yuhao flying toward them on the Ice Bear King, and Luan Feng readied a Rank 9 Soul Cannon Shell.

Huo Yuhao returned from the Far North with the Ice Bear King, who agreed to become his Spirit Soul in the future and serve as his bodyguard for now. After resting, Huo Yuhao contacted the Plane Consciousness and asked how to reach the God of Destruction as he planned to interfere with Tang San’s Ten-Thousand-Year Plan.

• Huo Yuhao told Jing Hongchen that the Ice Bear King had nearly 200,000 years of cultivation and had agreed to become his Spirit Soul.
• Jing Hongchen warned that a Tide of Beasts might be underway, but Huo Yuhao assured him the Far North remained safe and went to rest.
• The Ice Bear King transformed into a fat man and explored the human tent while the Snow Empress spoke with him.
• Huo Yuhao used the golden light in his Sea of Consciousness to contact the Plane Consciousness.
• Huo Yuhao asked the Plane Consciousness whether it could contact the God of Destruction so he could use the Ten-Thousand-Year Plan against Tang San.

Huo Yuhao learned how to use god-level power to draw the God of Destruction’s attention to Tang Hao’s erosion of the Plane Consciousness. After Electrolux activated the God of Destruction’s statue, the God of Destruction descended to Douluo Star and confronted the threat as Tang Hao continued his plan.

• The Plane Consciousness told Huo Yuhao that god-level power could stir a statue of the God of Destruction and that it could conceal his fate.
• Huo Yuhao found a statue of the God of Destruction in a cave and summoned Electrolux to help him.
• Electrolux unleashed god-level power at the statue, then took Huo Yuhao into the Undead Demiplane as the statue and Douluo Star began to glow.
• The God of Destruction sensed the disturbance, investigated Douluo Star, and discovered that Tang Hao was eroding the Plane Consciousness.
• Tang Hao felt his erosion advance and believed he was laying the groundwork to become the Lord of the Plane.

The God of Destruction discovered that Tang Hao was eroding Douluo Star’s Plane Consciousness and that Ah Yin was merging with the Golden Ancient Tree. He captured Tang Hao and Ah Yin, leaving Mu En startled by the events at Shrek Academy.

• Tang Hao believed Tang San would eventually grow strong enough to overcome the God of Destruction and the Divine Realm Rules.
• The God of Destruction confronted Tang Hao over his attempt to erode the Plane Consciousness and become Lord of the Plane.
• Tang Hao tried to stall for Tang San, but the God of Destruction struck him with purple lightning and imprisoned him.
• At Shrek Academy, Mu En heard Ah Yin call out and prepared to defend the Golden Ancient Tree.
• The God of Destruction pulled Ah Yin out of the Golden Ancient Tree and accused her of violating the Divine Realm Rules by devouring souls to accelerate her fusion.

The God of Destruction brought Tang Hao and Ah Yin before the Divine Realm Committee and accused Tang San of using the Divine Realm Central Control to shield his parents’ rule-breaking actions. The God Kings voted to punish Tang Hao and Ah Yin and strip Tang San of control, leaving the committee to decide who would control it next.

• The God of Destruction captured Ah Yin, brought her to Tang Hao, and headed to the Divine Realm to call a God Kings’ meeting.
• Mu En concluded that Ah Yin had devoured the souls of Shrek’s former Sea God Pavilion Masters and that Tang San had likely allowed it, but he chose to endure for Shrek Academy’s sake.
• The God of Destruction presented Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s alleged violations to the Five Great God Kings and proposed punishing them by imprisoning their divine consciousness for a thousand days.
• Tang San protested that his intentions had been good, while the God of Destruction accused him of misusing the Divine Realm Central Control and violating his promise of impartiality.
• Ji Dong, Lie Yan, and the Goddess of Life sided with the God of Destruction, giving him four votes and requiring Tang San to hand over control of the Divine Realm Central Control.

Tang San tried to take responsibility for his parents to soften the Four God Kings’ judgment, but the God of Destruction demanded that he surrender the Divine Realm Central Hub. On Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao and Plane Consciousness discussed the temporary relief from Tang Hao and Ah Yin, while Huo Yuhao resolved to become a God King.

• Tang San offered to accept his parents’ punishment, causing the Goddess of Life, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan to soften toward him.
• The God of Destruction proposed that Tang San pass down his godhood, then conceded that Tang Hao and Ah Yin could remain imprisoned in the Divine Realm rather than face harsher punishment.
• The God of Destruction demanded the Divine Realm Central Hub, and Tang San handed it over while proposing that all four God Kings control it together.
• The God of Destruction rejected Tang San’s proposal and said that he and the other three God Kings would control the hub without Tang San.
• Huo Yuhao told Plane Consciousness that Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s removal was only temporary, then resolved inwardly to become a God King.

Huo Yuhao asked the Plane Consciousness to help him gather Faith Power and agreed to cultivate inside the Golden Ancient Tree after keeping a low profile. Meanwhile, Xu Jiawei courted Du Busi’s Body Sect as an ally ahead of its planned raid on Mingde Hall.

• Huo Yuhao asked the Plane Consciousness to secretly collect Faith Power from Douluo Star, and it agreed.
• The Plane Consciousness offered to send Huo Yuhao into the Golden Ancient Tree to cultivate, and he agreed to wait until the capture of Tang Hao and Ah Yin drew less attention.
• Xu Jiawei hosted Du Busi at the Star Luo Imperial Palace and praised the Body Sect master’s strength and three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.
• Du Busi asked whether Xu Jiawei had gathered intelligence and planned a retreat route for the Body Sect’s attack on Mingde Hall; Xu Jiawei assured him that both were ready.
• Xu Jiawei proposed that the Body Sect become the Star Luo Empire’s protector sect, leaving Du Busi puzzled.

Xu Jiawei failed to persuade Du Busi to make the Body Sect the Star Luo Empire’s guardian sect, then ordered a military adjustment based on intelligence from a Sun Moon Empire insider. Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and planned to ask the Plane Consciousness to send him into the Golden Ancient Tree to cultivate.

• Xu Jiawei offered the Body Sect resources in exchange for becoming the Star Luo Empire’s guardian sect, but Du Busi refused because the sect had already pledged itself to the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu speculated about why the Body Sect had rejected the offer, and Xu Jiawei dismissed Jiujiu’s guess that it served another empire.
• Xu Jiawei told Xu Jiujiu to contact Dai Hao and move the Star Luo Army’s Soul Guidance Cannon Array seven meters to the left, using intelligence about Sun Moon Empire camp locations.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy while the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion continued mining rare metals in the Far North.
• Huo Yuhao declined Jing Hongchen’s invitation to make Soul Tools and headed to his residence to ask the Plane Consciousness to teleport him into the Golden Ancient Tree.

Huo Yuhao asked the Plane Consciousness to send him to Shrek Academy so he could cultivate inside the Golden Ancient Tree and create a new Spirit Soul. After learning that the tree’s consciousness revered him for saving it and the Plane Consciousness, he began preparing to cultivate with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

• Huo Yuhao contacted the Plane Consciousness and asked it to transport him to the Golden Ancient Tree, and it warned him not to take the tree away lest he draw Tang San’s attention.
• The Plane Consciousness sent Huo Yuhao through a spatial fissure to the Golden Ancient Tree, whose consciousness was near death after A Yin had depleted it.
• The Golden Ancient Tree called Huo Yuhao “Yuhao-sama” because he had helped save it and the Plane Consciousness from Tang Hao and A Yin.
• Huo Yuhao told the Golden Ancient Tree and the Plane Consciousness that he would cultivate there and attempt to create a new Spirit Soul.
• Huo Yuhao took the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass from his Storage Soul Tool, noting that it had weakened and that the undead demiplane was unsuitable for raising it.

Huo Yuhao brought Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass into the Golden Tree and explained his plan to make it his Spirit Soul. After the fusion made him a level-fifty-three Soul King, Ling Luochen prepared to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, leaving Ma Xiaotao to explain why she had not called Xu Sanshi.

• Huo Yuhao showed Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass the Golden Tree and explained how Shrek Academy had carved Sea God Pavilion inside it.
• Huo Yuhao asked Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to become his Spirit Soul, and it eagerly agreed.
• Huo Yuhao became a level-fifty-three Soul King and discovered Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could use Ice Empress's Pincers through spirit communion.
• Huo Yuhao tested the ice-covered Spirit Soul’s durability by punching it and decided it could fight enemies at close range.
• Ma Xiaotao asked Ling Luochen to attack her to suppress her evil fire, and Ling Luochen wondered why she had not asked Xu Sanshi for help.

Ma Xiaotao’s worsening evil fire drove her into a frenzy, and Ling Luochen fought her to keep her from endangering Shrek Academy’s students. Huo Yuhao appeared in disguise as Xiao Yan of Soul Hall, leaving Ling Luochen confused about his identity.

• Ma Xiaotao lost control of her evil fire and begged Ling Luochen to suppress it, then attacked after activating Martial Soul Possession.
• Ling Luochen fought Ma Xiaotao but was injured and feared she would run out of Soul Power before she could stop her.
• Huo Yuhao watched the fight while hidden and decided to help Ma Xiaotao and use her to sow discord among Tang San’s Seven Devils.
• Huo Yuhao revealed himself wearing a mask and claimed he came from Soul Hall, introducing himself as Xiao Yan.
• Ling Luochen asked the stranger to help restrain Ma Xiaotao, then became baffled when he said he was not an inner courtyard student.

Huo Yuhao, posing as Xiao Yan, used the Fire Dragon King Soul Bone’s fire-control ability to stop Ma Xiaotao’s rampage and suppress her evil fire. Ma Xiaotao woke and thanked him, then asked how he had helped her.

• Ling Luochen asked Xiao Yan to restrain the mindless Ma Xiaotao, and he insisted he could defeat her himself.
• Ma Xiaotao attacked from behind, but Huo Yuhao commanded the flames to form a cage around her and suppress her evil fire.
• Ling Luochen watched in amazement as Huo Yuhao subdued Ma Xiaotao without calling for help.
• Ma Xiaotao woke, learned from Ling Luochen what had happened, and thanked Xiao Yan for saving her.
• Ma Xiaotao asked Huo Yuhao how he had suppressed her evil fire so thoroughly.

Huo Yuhao arranged to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire again in exchange for her reading Shrek Seven Monsters Love Story. After Huo Yuhao left Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe read a letter claiming he was descended from Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao and began to fear the revelation would damage his future.

• Ma Xiaotao offered Huo Yuhao cultivation resources and help arranging cooperation with Soul Hall, but he refused to stay at Shrek Academy.
• Huo Yuhao secretly told Ma Xiaotao that he would suppress her evil fire again in roughly thirty days if she read Shrek Seven Monsters Love Story daily and kept it by her bedside.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ma Xiaotao to keep their arrangement secret, gave her a letter for Yan Shaozhe, and left Shrek Academy with the Plane Consciousness’s help.
• Yan Shaozhe arrived near the Sea God Pavilion, learned from Ling Luochen about Huo Yuhao’s intervention, and confirmed Ma Xiaotao was well.
• Yan Shaozhe read Huo Yuhao’s letter claiming Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were his parents, then grew alarmed when it described how Mu En had found him as an infant and resolved to keep the matter secret.

Yan Shaozhe worried that Xiao Yan and the Soul Hall could expose his origins, while Ma Hongjun watched his descendants on Douluo Star and became jealous of his brothers’ happy lives. The God of Jealousy stirred his feelings, and Ma Hongjun left Tang San’s residence after Tang San refused to retrieve Bai Chenxiang’s soul.

• Yan Shaozhe considered paying Xiao Yan and the Soul Hall to keep his secrets quiet.
• Ma Hongjun entered the Divine Realm Committee palace and used Faith Power to watch Ma Xiaotao on Douluo Star.
• Ma Hongjun read Shrek Seven Monsters Love Story and grew jealous of the other Original Seven Devils’ happy lives.
• The God of Jealousy secretly intensified Ma Hongjun’s jealousy as part of the God of Destruction’s plan.
• Ma Hongjun asked Tang San to retrieve Bai Chenxiang’s soul, but Tang San refused, citing the Divine Realm Rules.
• Ma Hongjun accepted Tang San’s refusal and apologized for asking him to use backdoor connections.
