Mu En asked Wang Dong and Ning Tian to seek help from their sects as Shrek Academy prepared to resist the Sun Moon Empire, which had defeated Star Luo forces and annexed Heaven Dou. Ning Tian agreed to consult her sect, but Da Ming refused to have the Clear Sky Sect join the conflict, saying it would defend itself if invaded.

Instead, he sent the Clear Sky Sect Disciples with Wang Dong to support Shrek Academy, while he and Er Ming stayed behind; the story then shifted to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School near Star Luo City.

• Wang Dong asked whether Shrek Academy could be spared, and Er Ming proposed luring the Sun Moon Army into attacking the Clear Sky Sect so he and Da Ming could intervene in self-defense.

Xu Tianran tried to win Huo Yuhao’s loyalty by offering him rare alchemy materials, including the Sun Moon royal family’s Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Essence Blood. Huo Yuhao accepted the offer, while continuing to prioritize gathering Faith Power and keeping the war from ending too soon.

• Xu Tianran told Huo Yuhao he deserved a reward for helping the Sun Moon Empire occupy the Heaven Dou Empire, but struggled to choose something he lacked.

• Huo Yuhao considered the story plausible and thanked Xu Tianran, who hoped the rare material would help make him obedient.

Huo Yuhao received precious materials and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Heaven Dragon's Essence Blood from Xu Tianran, then asked Electrolux to recast the divine-artifact furnace using the blood. Meanwhile, Zhang Peng, Myriad Souls Douluo, and Abomination Douluo traveled to the Ice Sea to hunt Sea Soul Beasts and secretly claim the spoils.

Bai Xiuxiu toured the Ice Sea with Liya when Zhang Peng, Abomination Douluo, and Myriad Souls Douluo arrived and attacked the Sea Soul Beasts. Liya led Xiuxiu and the others toward the Mermaid Palace while gathering nearby Mermaids’ Spiritual Power and calling for her mother’s help.

• As the chain closed in, Bai Xiuxiu cried out for the senior who had saved her before.

Li Ya used Ocean Heart to save Bai Xiuxiu from Abomination Douluo, then redirected its empowered attack at Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.

After reinforcements arrived in Star Cloud City, Xuan Zi secretly asked the gathered reclusive experts to help him seize command, promising victory and a wholehearted welcome from the people.
