Chapter Summaries

Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Snow Empress persuaded Di Tian to support the Soul Spirit System, and he demanded proof before agreeing to pursue peace between humans and soul beasts. He ordered Huo Yuhao to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for the trial, while Mu En insisted that future negotiations take place in Shrek City; Di Tian then silenced Bear Monarch’s objections with a death threat.

• Di Tian agreed to inspect the Soul Spirit Array and support the system if it could provide Soul Rings without killing soul beasts.
• Di Tian demanded an initial fusion in three days and proposed a non-aggression treaty in one month if it succeeded, while ordering Huo Yuhao to remain in the forest to prove the system’s reliability.
• Xuan Zi objected to leaving Huo Yuhao behind, and Mu En proposed holding negotiations in Shrek City instead of the forest.
• Di Tian threatened to kill Bear Monarch for repeatedly provoking the humans, and Bear Monarch backed down in fear.

• Three-Eyed Golden Lion admired Lin You’s elemental control and asked him to teach her how to build a home.

Lin You demonstrated Element Recombination by building a calcium villa, leaving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion eager to learn the technique while Bi Ji grew more curious about his unusual power. As Bear Monarch fought Xuan Zi in the distance, Lin You and the others went inside to eat, while Mu En arrived at the Body Sect.

• He Caitou praised Lin You's unconventional design, and Huo Yuhao explained that Lin You's Element Control ability let him do what ordinary people could not.

Lin You, He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, and Di Qiuer built and tested an Eternal Fire Device designed to generate and circulate its own energy. After Lin You stabilized the runaway Phosphorus Flame, the device worked, suggesting that ordinary people could use Soul Tools without a Soul Master supplying Soul Power.

• Lin You, He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, and Di Qiuer spent two hours assembling the Soul Propulsion Core and Eternal Fire Device, with Di Qiuer offering to help control the flames.
• Lin You activated the prototype with Phosphorus Flame, but the flame expanded violently and began to escape the device.
• Di Qiuer tried to suppress the flames with her Ultimate Fire, but they grew more violent because the Phosphorus Flame did not behave like natural fire.

After news of the invention spread, the emperors of the Three Great Empires offered to fund its development, unaware Lin You intended to make their people dependent on his technology.

• Lin You showed He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, and Di Qiuer that the Eternal Fire Device could produce offensive flames without a Soul Master's Soul Power, giving He Caitou hope for his revenge.
• Lin You and He Caitou planned to integrate the device with the Gundam framework, while He Caitou said he would wait to reclaim his identity until their plans succeeded.

After Lin You and Huo Yuhao left, the three emperors weighed the threat and benefits of Lin You’s technologies and agreed to support them while trying to control their spread. They also agreed to publicly support the Soul Spirit System, leaving its implementation unresolved.

• Xuan Zi left the emperors to discuss the technologies, pleased that Lin You’s work would strengthen Shrek Academy.
• Wei Xuanlang and the Snow Peak Emperor warned that the Self-Circulating Energy System could undermine the ruling classes, while Xu Jiawei argued that the empires needed to adapt to it.
