Huo Yuhao taught Ma Hongjun how to condense a Divinity Seed, and Ma Hongjun sent the Phoenix God's Seed to him in exchange for help reuniting with Bai Chenxiang. The God of Destruction allowed Ma Hongjun's actions, while Huo Yuhao and Electrolux returned to the Underworld with the seed.

Meanwhile, Xuan Zi addressed Shrek’s new students, whose gratitude education he had designed to build loyalty and strengthen the academy during its war with the Sun Moon Empire.

• Huo Yuhao gave Ma Hongjun’s Divinity Seed to Electrolux, who fused it with the Phoenix God’s corpse and controlled the awakened body through his authority over death.
