• Huo Yuhao killed Dai Yueheng, then had Elder Yi teleport the group back to the Sun Moon military camp.

After Dai Hao and three Titled Douluos died in the Sun Moon Empire’s opening attack, Xu Jiawei ordered reinforcements and appealed to Shrek Academy for help. Shrek’s elders agreed to abandon their public neutrality, and Xuan Zi prepared to come out of retirement.

• Xu Jiawei learned that the Sun Moon Empire had attacked the Star Luo border and that Dai Hao and three Titled Douluos had been killed.
• Xu Jiawei ordered Cheng Gang to notify Star Shattering Douluo and Medicine Immortal Douluo to take the Soul Master Corps to the front, then seek Shrek Academy’s aid.
• Cheng Gang told Yan Shaozhe about the Star Luo Empire’s losses, and Yan Shaozhe convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting.
• Yan Shaozhe proposed sending Titled Douluos and stronger experts to support the Star Luo Empire and end Shrek Academy’s neutral stance.
• Xuan Zi agreed with Yan Shaozhe and said he would come out of retirement because Dai Hao had failed as marshal.

Mu En sent Shrek Elders, including Xuan Zi, to support the Star Luo Empire’s war against the Sun Moon Empire, while keeping Yan Shaozhe at the academy to receive the purified Dragon Core. At the front, Princess Xu Jiujiu briefed the elders on the Star Luo Army’s heavy losses and its forces preparing to counterattack.

• Xuan Zi asked to go to the front lines, but Yan Shaozhe argued that his past failures made him untrustworthy.
• Mu En ordered the Shrek Elders to support the front lines and gather intelligence on Kong Deming and the Holy Spirit Cult, while Yan Shaozhe stayed behind.
• Mu En explained that Xuan Zi might go to the front lines regardless and gave Yan Shaozhe the purified Dragon Core to absorb.
• Yan Shaozhe told Cheng Gang about the decision, and Cheng Gang departed for Star Luo City to report to the emperor.
• Several days later, Xu Jiujiu welcomed the Shrek Elders in Yu Ming City and reported the Star Luo Army’s losses and its four hundred thousand troops at the border.

Xuan Zi urged Xu Jiujiu to gather Star Luo forces for a counteroffensive, then ordered Old Song to investigate the Sun Moon Army and proposed moving Yu Ming City's Soul Guidance Cannon Arrays five meters left. At the Sun Moon temporary headquarters, Ju Zi told Huo Yuhao that Old Song had delivered deliberately false intelligence and that Kong Deming could have stopped her.

• Xuan Zi asked Xu Jiujiu to bring Star Luo's remaining soul master legion to the front, and she agreed to seek her imperial brother's approval.
• Xu Jiujiu asked Shrek's experts to help investigate the Sun Moon Army, and Xuan Zi sent Old Song to scout the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Old Song reported the Sun Moon Army's defenses and recommended destroying its High-Altitude Detection Soul Guidance Devices before attacking.
• Xuan Zi and Xu Jiujiu agreed to the plan, and Xuan Zi advised moving the Soul Guidance Cannon Arrays outside Yu Ming City five meters left as part of his counteroffensive strategy.
• Ju Zi told Huo Yuhao that Old Song had delivered deliberately false intelligence and that Kong Deming could have prevented her from leaving.

Huo Yuhao left the Mingdou Mountain Range to negotiate with Du Busi while entrusting Ju Zi and Old Kong with the decoy defenses. At the Clear Sky Sect, Da Ming and Er Ming worried that Tang San might torment Xiao Qi under the guise of protecting her, so they sought Little Wu-jie’s help.

• Huo Yuhao explained that most of the Soul Guidance Cannon Arrays and Soul Engineer Legions in the Mingdou Mountain Range were decoys staffed by undead, then left Ju Zi and Old Kong in command.

• Da Ming proposed that they ask Little Wu-jie to place a wisp of divine sense on Xiao Qi for protection.
• Da Ming and Er Ming went to the Divine Realm and asked Little Wu-jie to place her divine sense on Xiao Qi.

Little Wu-jie placed a strand of divine sense on Xiao Qi despite Tang San’s objections, while refusing to reconcile with him. In Yu Ming City, Shrek and Star Luo’s forces prepared a counteroffensive, and Xuan Zi confidently predicted they would blitz through the Mingdou Mountain Range in one hour and twenty-two minutes.

• Da Ming warned Little Wu-jie that Tang San’s trials could traumatize Xiao Qi, so she decided to place her divine sense on her daughter.
• Tang San tried to stop Little Wu-jie, but she sent the divine sense to Douluo Star and learned that Xiao Qi was safe at Shrek Academy.
• Tang San secretly merged Xiao Qi’s and Wang Dong’s Spiritual Senses again and erased memories that could expose his actions.
• Tang San asked Little Wu-jie to return home with him, but she said they would talk about it later.
• At Yu Ming City, Star Shattering Douluo questioned Xuan Zi’s estimate for the counteroffensive, and Xuan Zi promised to lead the charge through the Mingdou Mountain Range.

Star Luo and Tianhun forces launched a counteroffensive toward the Mingdou Mountain Range, with Xu Jiujiu confident it would end in a crushing victory. Xuan Zi reached the enemy defenses and began attacking their detection devices and cannon barrage.

• Star Shattering Douluo accepted Xuan Zi's lead in the coming counteroffensive despite his doubts.
• Xu Jiujiu prepared to depart with the army while Xu Yun asked to join her, but Xu Jiujiu ordered her to stay in Yu Ming City and protect Dai Luoli.
• Xu Jiujiu told Xu Yun that the counteroffensive would succeed decisively, then flew toward the Mingdou Mountain Range with her guards and assigned powerhouses.
• Xuan Zi and his group raced to the Mingdou Mountain Range, where Xuan Zi entered detection range and activated his Martial Soul Possession.
• Xuan Zi endured the Soul Guidance Cannon Shells and sent spheres of earthy yellow light toward the aerial detection devices and incoming shells.

Wang Yiheng withdrew the Evil Monarch Soul Engineer Legion as part of the Marshal's plan to lure the advancing Star Luo and Tianhun forces deeper into the Mingdou Mountain Range. Xu Jiujiu accepted Xuan Zi's urging to advance into Sun Moon territory, while Ju Zi awaited the enemy at a prepared position.

• Wang Yiheng ordered the Evil Monarch Soul Engineer Legion to abandon its position and retreat, following the Marshal's plan to circle around behind the enemy.
• The Star Luo Army and Tianhun Reinforcements advanced through the Mingdou Mountain Range and recovered the territory they had lost, though they killed few retreating Sun Moon Soldiers.
• A scout praised Xu Jiujiu's command, and she credited the Shrek experts, Star Luo offerings, and soldiers before sending him to keep watching the front.
• Xu Jiujiu voiced concern that the retreat might be a trap, but Xuan Zi argued that the Sun Moon Army lacked a Limit Douluo and urged her to keep advancing.
• Xu Jiujiu ordered the army onward, while Ju Zi listened to a trusted subordinate's report in a temporary command tent as Sun Moon Soldiers waited by the Soul Guidance Cannon Arrays.

Kong Deming trapped Xuan Zi and the allied Shrek and Star Luo fighters inside the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. As the captives began to distrust Xuan Zi, he called on Star Shattering Douluo to help breach the spatial barrier.

• Ju Zi rejected the proposal to leave Old Kong behind and said Huo Yuhao had already gone to the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xuan Zi led the Shrek Elders and Star Luo powerhouses to demand the Sun Moon soldiers surrender, but they attacked instead.
• Kong Deming trapped Xuan Zi and the others inside the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, where the Sun Moon forces' attacks continued to reach them.
• Kong Deming claimed Xuan Zi had helped the Sun Moon Empire and would be rewarded, causing the other captives to distance themselves from Xuan Zi.
• Xuan Zi explained that the barrier diverted attacks through space and called on Star Shattering Douluo to help tear it open.

The Star Shattering Douluo helped Xuan Zi attack Kong Deming’s Silver Moon Divine Light Shield with his spatial power, but Kong Deming overwhelmed him and offered him a chance to surrender. Refusing to betray the Star Luo Empire, the Star Shattering Douluo began detonating his Soul Core to give the others a chance to escape.

• The Star Shattering Douluo used his Shattered Star Light to create purple spatial vortices that tore apart incoming attacks and began consuming the shield.
• Kong Deming strengthened the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, which collapsed the vortices and trapped the Star Shattering Douluo in silver light.
• Xuan Zi and the other powerful fighters entered their Martial Soul Avatar states and attacked the silver light, but their attacks were diverted through space.
• Kong Deming offered to spare the Star Shattering Douluo if he joined the Sun Moon Empire, but the Star Shattering Douluo refused to betray the Star Luo Empire.
• The Star Shattering Douluo told everyone to move back and began detonating his Soul Core.

The Star Shattering Douluo detonated his Soul Core to help Xuan Zi’s group break through Kong Deming’s Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. Kong Deming redirected the blast through his Blood Moon Gate, devastating the group and leaving the surviving Shrek and Star Luo powerhouses in dire condition.

• Old Song and the other powerhouses withdrew as the Star Shattering Douluo prepared to detonate his Soul Core, while Xuan Zi vowed to repay his family if he survived.
• The Star Shattering Douluo’s explosion tore at Kong Deming’s shield as Xuan Zi and the others attacked it together.
• Kong Deming used his Ninth Soul Skill, Blood Moon Gate, to redirect the purple starlight torrent back at Xuan Zi’s group.
• The redirected attack killed Cai Meier, the Great Hammer Douluo, Qian Duoduo, and the Medicine Immortal Douluo, while Xuan Zi lost an arm.
• Old Song protected Xian Lin'er from the torrent and was left barely alive as Xuan Zi looked upon the casualties in grief.

Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er escaped Kong Deming’s Silver Moon Divine Light Shield after Old Song sacrificed herself to open a path, while Kong Deming chose not to pursue them. Elsewhere, the Star Luo Army and Tianhun Reinforcements were ambushed, and Xu Jiujiu ordered them to hold their ground until Xuan Zi’s group returned.

• Xuan Zi ignited his Burning Life Flame and asked Old Song to help break through the light shield.
• Old Song burned her life flame, transformed into an Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, and self-destructed her soul core to create an opening.
• Xuan Zi seized Xian Lin'er and broke through the shield, while Kong Deming focused on containing Old Song’s self-destruction and let them escape.
• Kong Deming decided not to pursue Xuan Zi, knowing Yuhao’s Soul Core Seal could make Xuan Zi a weapon against the enemy camp.
• The Evil Monarch Soul Engineer Legion and Royal Dragon Soul Engineer Legion ambushed the Star Luo Army and Tianhun Reinforcements from behind.
• Xu Jiujiu ordered the troops to hold their position until Xuan Zi’s group returned and threatened execution for anyone who deserted.

After Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er reported that Kong Deming had killed three consecrated powerhouses, Xu Jiujiu ordered the allied army to fall back to Yu Ming City under the name of a “victorious advance.” The retreat ended with heavy losses and surrenders, while Xu Jiujiu sought reinforcements and Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er stayed to protect her.

• Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er arrived at Xu Jiujiu’s command post, and Xuan Zi reported that only he and Xian Lin'er had survived Kong Deming’s attack.
• Xu Jiujiu learned that Kong Deming was both a Rank 10 Soul Engineer and a Rank 98 Super Douluo, then ordered the allied army to retreat to Yu Ming City.
• Xuan Zi advised Xu Jiujiu to call the retreat a “victorious advance” to keep the soldiers’ morale from collapsing, and she agreed.
• The Sun Moon Army and two Beast King Tier Soul Guiding Master Groups encircled the allied army as it withdrew, and Xu Jiujiu reached Yu Ming City under Xuan Zi’s protection.
• The Star Luo Army lost 250,000 soldiers and 50,000 surrendered, while the Tianhun Reinforcements lost 20,000 soldiers and 60,000 surrendered.
• Xu Jiujiu sent for reinforcements from Star Luo City, while Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er remained in Yu Ming City and Shrek personnel carried news of the battle back to the academy.

Du Busi’s meeting debated whether the Body Sect should help the Star Luo Empire against the Sun Moon Empire, until Huo Yuhao arrived and announced that he had come to end the Heaven Dou Empire. He said he intended to lead the Body Sect and the people of Heavenly Soul onto a path of light.

• Du Busi convened a Body Sect meeting to discuss the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion of the Star Luo Empire and how the sect should respond.
• Jin Peng urged the Body Sect to attack Mingdu, while other elders warned of the danger and debated how much aid to give the Star Luo Empire.
• Elder Zhao argued that the Body Sect should recall its reinforcements and make peace with the Sun Moon Empire, but Jin Peng warned that such an agreement would not protect Heavenly Soul in the long run.

• Huo Yuhao told Du Busi and the elders that he had come to end the Heaven Dou Empire and lead the Body Sect and Heavenly Soul’s people onto a path of light.

Huo Yuhao persuaded Du Busi to accept the Heaven Dou Empire’s merger into the Sun Moon Empire and took the Body Sect to discuss it with the Heaven Soul Emperor. In Heaven Dou City, the emperor assessed the looming war with the Sun Moon Empire as Princess Vina urged him to reinforce the Star Luo Empire.

• Jin Peng Douluo questioned Huo Yuhao about ending the Heaven Dou Empire, and Huo Yuhao proposed that it merge into the Sun Moon Empire with Heavenly Soul people receiving equal citizenship.
• Du Busi suspected that the Sun Moon Empire had fulfilled Huo Yuhao’s request for prayers, abandoned the idea of resisting him, and agreed to consider the merger while consulting the Heaven Soul Emperor.
• Huo Yuhao declined to wait for the emperor to come to the Body Sect and arranged for Electrolux to teleport the group to Heaven Dou City.

• Vina asked her father whether he should send more troops to support the Star Luo Empire.

Huo Yuhao brought Du Busi and the Body Sect elders to the Heaven Soul Imperial Palace to discuss the Sun Moon Empire’s annexation of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Heaven Soul Emperor agreed to the annexation, revealing that he had never wanted to rule and found the position too stressful.

• Princess Vina prepared to return to the Body Sect, but Huo Yuhao opened a spatial rift and arrived at the palace with Du Busi, Jin Peng, and the Body Sect elders.
• The Heaven Soul Emperor called for guards, and two Titled Douluo entered to protect him before Vina identified Huo Yuhao as Senior Xiao.
• Du Busi explained Huo Yuhao’s identity and why the Body Sect had kept his existence secret.
• Huo Yuhao promised the Heaven Soul Emperor that the Sun Moon Empire would not purge the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and would use its influence to help govern.
• After Du Busi vouched for Huo Yuhao, the Heaven Soul Emperor agreed to the annexation and said he had never enjoyed being emperor.

Huo Yuhao arranged for the Heaven Soul Emperor and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family to remain in power and assist the Sun Moon Empire in governing the Heaven Dou Empire. As the Sun Moon Army approached Heaven Dou City disguised as merchant caravans, its Rank 9 Soul Engineers prepared to attack from within the city.

• Huo Yuhao told the Heaven Soul Emperor to remain on the throne and submit to the Sun Moon Emperor while helping govern the Heaven Dou Empire.
• The Heaven Soul Emperor said he would rather abdicate, but Huo Yuhao persuaded him to wait until the time was right.

• Disguised as merchant caravans, the Sun Moon Army advanced toward Heaven Dou City after bribing and evading inspections along the way.
• Ye Yulin urged the Rank 9 Soul Engineers to surprise the Heavenly Soul defenders, while Xuan Ziwen admitted he lacked combat experience and Liao Mengkai told him to strike with full strength.

Huo Yuhao stopped the Sun Moon Army from attacking Heaven Dou City and explained that the Heaven Soul Emperor and Du Busi had agreed to merge the Heaven Dou Empire into the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Army took over the city's defenses, and the emperor announced the agreement to his shocked ministers.

• At Heaven Dou City's gates, Ye Yulin saw the Tianhun Army and powerful Soul Masters waiting, then ordered the Sun Moon Army to prepare for battle after hearing they had been expected.
• Huo Yuhao contacted the Sun Moon Army and told them to put away their weapons and enter the city peacefully.

• Xuan Ziwen and the Soul Engineers accepted Huo Yuhao's explanation and led the Sun Moon Army into Heaven Dou City.
• The Heaven Soul garrison handed the city's defenses to the Sun Moon Army, and the Heaven Soul Emperor announced the merger agreement to his ministers.

After the Heaven Dou Empire agreed to merge with the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao asked Ju Zi to send more troops to secure it. At Shrek Academy, Mu En demanded an explanation from Xuan Zi for the battlefield deaths of Qian Duoduo, Xiao Song, and Mei Er.

• The Heaven Soul Emperor declared the Heaven Dou Empire's merger with the Sun Moon Empire, and Huo Yuhao persuaded the ministers to accept it by explaining the Spirit Souls and their requirements.

• Xian Lin'er brought Mu En in a wheelchair to the Sea God Pavilion, where Mu En confronted the kneeling Xuan Zi about the deaths of Qian Duoduo, Xiao Song, and Mei Er.
• Xuan Zi admitted that he had led them into Sun Moon territory without investigating the enemy and that Kong Deming's ambush had killed them; he said he deserved to die.

Mu En confronted Xuan Zi after he attempted to take his own life to atone for another grave mistake, while Yan Shaozhe demanded that Xuan Zi be executed for endangering Shrek Academy. Mu En stopped Yan Shaozhe, but feared that dying would leave his soul vulnerable to Ah Yin inside the Golden Tree.

• Xuan Zi tried to destroy himself, but Mu En stopped him and condemned his attempt to escape his duty to the academy.
• Yan Shaozhe called Xuan Zi a threat to Shrek Academy and charged at him, blaming him for Cai Meier’s death and the academy’s losses.
• Xuan Zi accepted Yan Shaozhe’s judgment and offered no resistance, but Mu En ordered Yan Shaozhe to stop.
