Ye Chenxing gained Yu Xiaogang’s Noble Phantasm, which could turn Tang San’s weapons and abilities into Ten-Year Lonely Bamboo for three seconds. Meanwhile, Du Busi mistook Yu Xiaogang’s claims about Shrek Academy for deception and beat him in the Sunset Forest.

• Ye Chenxing considered Yu Xiaogang’s Noble Phantasm a perfect counter to Tang San and wondered what other useful Noble Phantasms he might find.

• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe arrived at the battlefield seeking Lord Sea God, but found Du Busi beating Yu Xiaogang instead.

Ye Chenxing summoned Gu Yuena as a Berserker, but she had gained the life-based powers of a future Goddess of Life instead of her elemental control. After learning that the Living Gold he used as a catalyst had brought her here and healed her ancient wound, he wondered what would trigger her Mad Enhancement [Love].

• Ye Chenxing used the Living Gold as a catalyst and summoned a silver-haired Servant whose powerful life aura initially made him expect the Goddess of Life.
• Ye Chenxing contracted with the confused Berserker and skipped through her memories until he recognized her as Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King.
• Gu Yuena discovered that she wielded immense life energy instead of elemental powers, and Ye Chenxing concluded that the summoning had manifested her possible future Goddess of Life aspect.
• Ye Chenxing examined Gu Yuena's healing abilities and Mad Enhancement [Love] EX, which amplified her devotion while leaving her outwardly rational.
• Ye Chenxing explained that the Living Gold had summoned Gu Yuena and that her old wound from the Asura God's sword had disappeared; Gu Yuena thanked him.

• Jiang Nannan accepted the demand, but Nana soon told her that Star Tower headquarters might be able to treat her mother if she brought her to the Sun Moon Empire.
• Jiang Nannan decided to trust Star Tower, return home to collect her mother, and travel with her to the Sun Moon Empire.

Jiang Nannan hurried home to take her mother to the Star Tower for treatment, while Ye Chenxing, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena toured Heaven Dou City. Their outing ended at a stall where Qian Renxue exposed the owner’s fake antiques, prompting him to produce his supposedly most treasured item.

• Jiang Nannan saw Ye Chenxing, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena in the street, then hurried home to take her mother for treatment.
• Qian Renxue won every prize at a ring-toss stall and paid the owner so she could keep playing.
• Gu Yuena clung to Ye Chenxing and asked him to let her hold him for a little while, while Qian Renxue led them through the city.
• Qian Renxue listened to a street storyteller’s claims about Tang San and the Noumenon Sect, then inspected the owner’s supposed relics.
• Qian Renxue identified the owner’s Golden Tree bark as painted elm and rejected his other alleged antiques, so he prepared to show his most treasured item.

Qian Renxue discovered that a street vendor’s supposed fake was actually a genuine remnant of her Angel Sacred Sword, and the vendor returned it to her for free. Ye Chenxing recruited the vendor for the Star Tower, leaving him eager to join.

• The stall owner claimed a rusty broken sword was a remnant of the Angel God’s divine sword and offered it to Qian Renxue for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Qian Renxue agreed to buy the sword as a historical collectible, then revealed her Angel Sacred Sword and awakened the broken piece’s matching divine glow.

• Ye Chenxing gave the stall owner a Star Tower core member badge and offered him work, and the man eagerly agreed to join.

Ye Chenxing learned that the broken sword held the remnants of the Angel God's Divine Position, which could help Qian Renxue become a true Angel God King. As the group explored Heaven Dou City, Gu Yuena stole a kiss from Ye Chenxing and retreated into the Mind Star Sea, leaving him flustered as he set out with Qian Renxue for the Star Tower.

• Qian Renxue explained that the broken sword's remaining Angel God's Divine Position could let her break through to become a true God King, and she promised to claim a reward from Ye Chenxing once she succeeded.
• Qian Renxue hurried off to watch a folk performance, and Gu Yuena kissed Ye Chenxing before escaping into the Mind Star Sea.
• Ye Chenxing recovered from the surprise kiss and joined Qian Renxue to look around Heaven Dou City, where she found little resemblance to the city she remembered from ten thousand years earlier.
• Ye Chenxing suggested they visit the Star Tower, and Qian Renxue wondered why Gu Yuena had returned to the Mind Star Sea.
• Ye Chenxing claimed Gu Yuena had withdrawn to avoid interfering with their time together, and Qian Renxue praised her thoughtfulness.

Nana told Ye Chenxing that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted the Star Tower’s core technologies in exchange for helping distribute its products, and Ye Chenxing sent her to negotiate with a mysterious wooden box. At Shrek Academy, Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion elders discovered that Yu Xiaogang had arrived from ten thousand years in the past, and Yu Xiaogang broke down after learning that Tang San had become a god.

• Nana reported that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect offered its sales channels and profits in exchange for the Star Tower’s Wind-and-Solar Energy Conversion and Sealed Milk Bottle technologies.
• Ye Chenxing rejected sharing the technologies but instructed Nana to offer cooperation under the Star Tower’s conditions and gave her a wooden box to show the sect master.
• Yu Xiaogang woke in the Sea God Pavilion, panicked at the unfamiliar elders, and summoned Luo Sanpao at Mu En’s request.
• Luo Sanpao excitedly approached Mu En, who recognized Yu Xiaogang from the academy records and questioned him about the world’s era and most powerful organization.
• Mu En told Yu Xiaogang that ten thousand years had passed since the Spirit Hall’s destruction and that Shrek was now the continent’s foremost power.
• Mu En revealed that Yu Xiaogang had descendants and that his disciple Tang San had become the Sea God, prompting Yu Xiaogang to celebrate wildly while Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi tried to calm him.

Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi told Yu Xiaogang that his future held Martial Soul evolution and Titled Douluo status, but they could not send him back to the past. Meanwhile, Ye Chenxing returned to Ming Capital and discovered that Qian Renxue had skipped school for months to play games, while Gu Yuena accidentally revealed that she knew about his game console.

Ye Chenxing reunited with the Auspicious Beast, now using the name Gu Yeqiu, and learned she and Gu Yuena had joined the academy and Star Tower. At the academy gates, he found Xiao Hongchen struggling with his fall to fifth place among the academy’s geniuses and headed inside to see Meng Hongchen.

• Gu Yeqiu exposed Gu Yuena’s attempt to conceal her connection to Ye Chenxing, and the group walked together toward the academy.
• At the gates, Ye Chenxing met Xiao Hongchen and Wang Jiahao, who had joined Star Tower and were standing in the rain to ease Xiao Hongchen’s despair.
• Xiao Hongchen explained that Gu Yeqiu had defeated him and Gu Yuena had surpassed him in Soul Tool talent, while Meng Hongchen’s successful ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring pushed him down to fifth place at the academy.
• Ye Chenxing joked about his first meeting with Gu Yuena and Gu Yeqiu, then invited Xiao Hongchen to go see Meng Hongchen.

Ye Chenxing returned to class and reassured Meng Hongchen, who gave him her first Level-Five Soul Tool and embraced him. At Jing Hongchen’s office, Gu Yue met her apparent older sister, Gu Yuena, and Ye Chenxing hurried the bewildered pair into a private room to talk.

• Gu Yuena failed to return to Ye Chenxing’s Mind Star Sea and followed him to Class One’s classroom.
• Ye Chenxing comforted Meng Hongchen, accepted the Soul Tool she had made for him, and returned her embrace before Lin Jiayi summoned them to Jing Hongchen’s office.
• Jing Hongchen praised Gu Yue’s Martial Soul and Soul Tool talents while Gu Yue decided she needed Ye Chenxing as an ally against the God Realm.

• Jing Hongchen proposed promoting the Star Tower through the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, and Ye Chenxing agreed to compete as the reserve team while suggesting more candidates might join before it began.

Ning Yunyun weighed Star Tower’s cooperation offer and accepted its demanding conditions after recognizing an Aromatic Silk Beauty petal. Meanwhile, Gu Yue confronted the identical Gu Yuena and demanded to know who she was.

• Ning Yunyun argued with her elders about cooperating with Star Tower, seeing its Soul Tool technology as a chance to save the declining Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Elder Wu opposed the partnership, but Ning Yunyun welcomed Nana, Star Tower’s regional supervisor, to discuss the proposal.
• Nana demanded that the sect cooperate with Star Tower, follow its sales direction, and avoid exploiting commoners and low-ranked Soul Masters.

• Ning Yunyun agreed to Star Tower’s conditions and asked Nana to arrange a meeting with the Tower Master.
• Gu Yue confronted the identical Gu Yuena in a hidden chamber and demanded to know her identity, noting that her aura resembled Life’s.

Gu Yue confronted Gu Yuena, who revealed that she was Gu Yue’s future self, summoned by Ye Chenxing, and warned her not to let the burden of reviving the soul beasts consume her. The chapter then showed the future Gu Yuena as the Dragon God and ruler of the God Realm, where Di Tian reported an approaching Spacetime Turbulence that seemed manageable under her unified rule.

• Gu Yuena told Gu Yue that she came from the future and proved their connection by revealing a private detail about Gu Yue’s human form.
• Gu Yuena explained that Ye Chenxing could summon people who had left traces in the world, including her and the genuine Angel God, but refused to say whether he could summon the fallen Dragon Clan gods.
• Gu Yue asked whether she succeeded in her plans, and Gu Yuena urged her not to become obsessed with reviving the beast race before her Silver Dragon King aura wavered at Gu Yue’s questions.
• In the future, Gu Yuena sat beside the Lake of Life as the Dragon God and supreme ruler of the God Realm, wondering whether someone would return.
• Di Tian warned Gu Yuena that the God Realm faced unusually large Spacetime Turbulence, while the narration noted that the realm’s stable defenses and unified authority left it far better prepared than before.

Gu Yuena confronted a Spacetime Turbulence and was trapped in a strange dimension where she relived her farewell to Ye Chenxing ten thousand years earlier. As the Saint Quartz resonated with the storm, she heard Ye Chenxing's voice and received a summons asking her to become a Heroic Spirit candidate.

• Di Tian and the gods watched a massive Spacetime Turbulence approach the God Realm as Gu Yuena charged out to face it alone.
• Gu Yuena repelled the storm's forces, but it transported her into a multidimensional space filled with scenes from her past.
• Gu Yuena witnessed her farewell to Ye Chenxing, when she declined to leave with him and accepted the Saint Quartz instead.
• Overcome with regret, Gu Yuena nearly crushed the Saint Quartz, which began resonating with the Spacetime Turbulence.
• Gu Yuena heard Ye Chenxing call for the Goddess of Life, then received a summons asking whether she would answer as a support and healing Heroic Spirit candidate.

Gu Yuena revealed how her longing let her overcome her low summoning priority and return to Ye Chenxing, then she and Gu Yue agreed to compete for him while hiding the truth about her future origins. After the two left the secret chamber, Ye Chenxing met Gu Yue and accepted her explanation that the summoned Gu Yuena was another aspect of her, not someone from the future.

• Gu Yuena's love-driven trait sealed the powers hindering her summoning priority, allowing her to answer Ye Chenxing's call and return to him.
• Gu Yuena warned Gu Yue to keep their discussion secret, but Gu Yue declared that she would compete for Ye Chenxing and use him to help counterattack the God Realm.

• Gu Yue pulled Gu Yeqiu away from Ye Chenxing and introduced herself as a member of the Ancient Clan before Ye Chenxing greeted her.
• Ye Chenxing guessed that Gu Yuena came from the future, but Gu Yue denied it and claimed the summoned Gu Yuena was another aspect of herself, explaining her knowledge of his Soul Tool games as the result of her own fandom.

Gu Yue thanked Ye Chenxing for aiding the soul beasts and sought an alliance, only to learn he had already allied with the Icefire Dragon Kings. Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen completed their Immortal Herb absorption, evolving their Martial Souls and strengthening their cultivation; their Martial Soul Fusion Skill still worked, prompting Ye Chenxing to wonder about the unusual compatibility of their changes.

• Gu Yue thanked Ye Chenxing for weakening Shrek Academy, helping Gu Yeqiu, and shielding the soul beasts from the God Realm, then asked him to form an alliance against their shared enemy.

• Ye Chenxing had the siblings test their Martial Soul resonance, and they confirmed that their [Red Dust Yearning] fusion skill still worked.

Ye Chenxing rejected Jing Hongchen’s plan to keep his group in reserve and promised to prepare a team capable of facing Shrek within a year. As he worried about Tang San’s remaining Divine Thoughts and the dwindling Command Spells, another Tang San Divine Thought awakened inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the sunken ruins of Sea God Island.

• Ye Chenxing reasoned that Xiao Hongchen’s Red Dust Yearning remaining intact suggested Xiao’s Martial Soul had also evolved, and Xiao agreed to investigate the changes.
• Jing Hongchen invited Gu Yuena to join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and proposed that the seven young fighters serve as reserves because Shrek’s teams and the tournament referees posed serious dangers.
• Ye Chenxing insisted he could not wait five years for Faith Power and offered to build a team that could match Shrek’s main team within a year, prompting Jing Hongchen to agree to trust him.
• Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Gu Yeqiu pledged to work toward Spirit Emperor rank, while Ye Chenxing reassured them that he would carry them to victory.
• Ye Chenxing considered the Command Spells he had left and the threats posed by Tang Hao, A Yin, and other divine forces.
• A Tang San Divine Thought emerged from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the submerged ruins of the original Sea God Island.

Tang San discovered that his arrangements on the Douluo Continent had been disrupted and planned to go to the Clear Sky Sect. A year after founding Star Tower, Ye Chenxing returned to Ming Capital to inspect its headquarters, arriving with Gu Yue, Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yeqiu.

• Tang San found that his Divine Sense had lost contact with the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, the Imperial Auspicious Beast, and Ah Yin, and decided to join the Divine Sense on Little Seven at the Clear Sky Sect.
• Ye Chenxing drove his black Soul Guide sports car through the rapidly modernizing Ming Capital toward Star Tower's headquarters with four women beside him.
• Qian Renxue and Gu Yeqiu bonded over the city's shops, while Gu Yuena fed Ye Chenxing Jade Dew Melon and Gu Yue grew jealous.
• Gu Yue explained why she used that name, and Gu Yuena suggested Ye Chenxing call her Na'er, prompting another jealous reaction from Gu Yue.
• Ye Chenxing arrived at Star Tower's grand headquarters and got out of the car.

Ye Chenxing returned to Star Tower, saw how much Archer had accomplished, and introduced him as one of his Heroic Spirits. He summoned three new Heroic Spirits to help with construction and logistics, leaving them at headquarters under Archer’s direction.

• Ye Chenxing arrived at Star Tower and admired its transformed headquarters and the growing prosperity around it.
• Ju Zi greeted Ye Chenxing, tried to learn about his companions and recent absence, and guided him to Qiangu Dongfeng.

• Ye Chenxing assigned the three new Heroic Spirits to remain at Star Tower and assist Qiangu Dongfeng, who asked who they were.

Ye Chenxing introduced Su Yuntao, Old Jack, and Ye Lingling to Qiangu Dongfeng and assigned them roles in Star Tower. Qiangu Dongfeng then reported on Star Tower’s expansion and the absorption of Ming Capital’s underground forces, while the Pingfan Alliance and Xishui Alliance remained to be discussed.

• Ye Chenxing introduced Su Yuntao and explained that his Noble Phantasm could rarely awaken people with Innate Full Soul Power or Twin Martial Souls.
• Ye Chenxing introduced Old Jack and concealed his soul-ring-producing ability by telling Qiangu Dongfeng that he had once subdued Tang Hao; Qiangu Dongfeng and Archer treated Old Jack as a hidden expert.
• Ye Chenxing introduced Ye Lingling and her Ultimate Healing ability, then asked Qiangu Dongfeng about Star Tower’s progress and obstacles in the Ming Capital and the three empires.
• Qiangu Dongfeng reported that Star Tower had expanded in the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires but struggled to establish itself in the conservative Dou Ling Empire.
• Qiangu Dongfeng said Star Tower had incorporated the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and reassigned its thieves and assassins as soul guide vehicle drivers and takeaway delivery workers.

Ye Chenxing reviewed Star Tower’s business strategy with Qiangu Dongfeng, including its plans to absorb the Pingfan Alliance and its decision to avoid confronting the Xishui Alliance for now. He then decided to leave headquarters soon and go meet Huo Yuhao as the story of Douluo II was about to begin.

• Qiangu Dongfeng reported that Star Tower’s professional assassins and thieves were working as drivers and delivery workers, and that the Pingfan Alliance would eventually come under his control.
• Qiangu Dongfeng identified the Xishui Alliance as Star Tower’s main obstacle, and Ye Chenxing revealed that the Holy Spirit Cult backed it.
• Ye Chenxing told Qiangu Dongfeng to leave the Xishui Alliance alone while its members remained quiet and Xu Tianran faced difficulties.
• Qiangu Dongfeng asked how long Ye Chenxing would stay at headquarters, and Ye Chenxing said he would leave soon to meet Huo Yuhao.

Ye Chenxing approved Qiangu Dongfeng’s plan to erect a statue of him at Star Tower but rejected the proposed daily hymn. At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang arrived to a grand welcome, where the inner academy disciples sang a song praising him.

• Qiangu Dongfeng told Ye Chenxing that he had commissioned a statue and said students who had seen Ye Chenxing were unusually likely to join Star Tower.
• Ye Chenxing approved the statue plan, then stopped Qiangu Dongfeng from making a hymn Star Tower’s anthem.
• At Shrek Academy, Tang Ya asked Bei Bei who they were welcoming, and he said the elders had given him no details.
• Bei Bei spotted the arriving Yu Xiaogang, and the crowd fell silent as he entered the academy gates.
• The inner academy disciples welcomed Yu Xiaogang by singing a song about his influence on Shrek.

Yu Xiaogang was welcomed back to Shrek Academy as Tang San’s legendary mentor, but his low cultivation left the students unable to hear his speech. Embarrassed, he smashed an Amplifying Soul Tool and banned Soul Tools, prompting Shrek students to cheer while Xian Lin’er prepared to confront him.

• Tang Ya and Bei Bei recognized Yu Xiaogang from the statue at the academy gates, while the inner courtyard students fled after their humiliating chorus performance.
• Yan Shaozhe told the students that a white-haired youth had attacked Shrek and claimed Sea God Tang San had intervened before sending Yu Xiaogang to guide the academy.
• Yu Xiaogang delivered a speech that the students could not hear, so Qian Duoduo brought him an Amplifying Soul Tool.
• Humiliated by needing the device, Yu Xiaogang smashed it and declared that Shrek Academy would forbid Soul Tools.
• The students and Yan Shaozhe welcomed the ban, while Xian Lin’er angrily tried to confront Yu Xiaogang and Qian Duoduo urged her to wait for Elder Mu.
