Li Chen deterred Qian Daoliu from attacking the Sun Moon Sect, while the sect expanded its influence and Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation struggled to control public anger in Spirit City. In a call with Ju Zi, Li Chen ordered her to kill the captured Shrek group, including Yu Xiaogang.
Ju Zi captured the Shrek group in Sun Moon City while Li Chen directed their punishment and Xiao Wu’s imprisonment. Ju Zi nearly revealed a secret about Tang San before Li Chen interrupted her, and Tang San was left awaiting public execution in three months.
Li Chen and Ju Zi planned to use Tang San’s execution as bait to draw out the Clear Sky Sect, while Li Chen traveled to the Lake of Life to seek Di Tian’s help against an Angel God’s Servant. Di Tian tried to detain Li Chen, but Li Chen revealed that he could help Di Tian’s Lord recover faster.
Li Chen offered to help the Silver Dragon King recover in exchange for her aid against Qian Daoliu, then revealed that Dragon Valley held the Dragon God Core. The Silver Dragon King accepted the deal after placing a seed in Li Chen’s mind to detect malice, and warned him she would kill him if he failed.
Li Chen secured the Silver Dragon King's gold of life and arranged for Di Tian to confront Qian Daoliu, but the Silver Dragon King only allowed Di Tian to wound him. Spirit Hall learned of Di Tian's power, while the Sun Moon Sect publicized Qian Daoliu's defeat and Ju Zi waited for the Clear Sky Sect to respond to her captives.
Hu Liena learned that Bibi Dong had been badly injured by the Sun Moon Sect, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei secretly considered their resentment toward Bibi Dong. Li Chen prepared a robot and a level-suppressing soul tool for Dragon Valley, then set out with Kong Deming and Ji Juechen after preventing Zi JI from following them.
Li Chen and his companions flew past Sea God Island and reached an untamed continent, where Kong Deming opened the way into Dragon Valley. Li Chen sent a robot to retrieve Dragon King bones for the Silver Dragon King and began absorbing Dragon Clouds to strengthen himself.
Li Chen absorbed Dragon Clouds in Dragon Valley, strengthened his soul power and spirit, and returned with dragon bones. The God Kings discussed a plan to govern Soul Beasts through a subordinate Divine Realm, while Li Chen proposed Three-Word Battle Armor for the Sun Moon Sect’s Titled Douluo.
Li Chen delivered two dragon bones to the Silver Dragon King and set out with Zi JI to find a mental- and metal-attribute soul beast for his Sixth Soul Ring. Meanwhile, Ju Zi accepted Dai Weisi’s request to suppress rebellions in the Star Luo Empire, following Li Chen’s plan to kill rebellious nobles and redistribute their land under the Sun Moon Sect’s banner.
Li Chen and Zi JI traveled to the Frozen Forest to find a Mirror Shadow Beast while Li Chen considered using the Snow Empress Embryo to recruit the Snow Empress against Qian Daoliu. After three days of flight, Li Chen found traces of a Mirror Shadow Beast and prepared to hunt it.
Li Chen killed and absorbed a fifty-thousand-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast, then discovered that his new Soul Skill could transform a robot into a convincing copy of anyone. Zi JI took the Di Tian robot, while Li Chen realized the transformations might help him gather faith; meanwhile, Ju Zi found traces of the Clear Sky Sect in Gengxin City.
Tang Long and Tang Hu infiltrated Sun Moon City to scout its defenses before the Clear Sky Sect’s planned rescue, while Ju Zi let them gather misleading information. After Li Chen arrived with Zi JI, he told Ju Zi he would provoke the two disciples into acting early.
Li Chen tricked Tang Long and Tang Hu into attempting a prison break, then ambushed them with the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Group. The attack left Tang Hu badly injured and Tang Long cut in half.
Li Chen killed Tang Long, Tang Hu, and the captured Clear Sky Sect disciples, while Tang San mistook the Sun Moon Sect for Tang Sect transmigrators from his former life. After Li Chen moved Tang Hao into Tang San’s cell, Tang Hao learned of Tang San’s past-life identity and attacked him.
Li Chen and Ju Zi planned to use others to kill Tang San while preparing to attack the Clear Sky Sect. As Tang Xiao and the elders moved to rescue Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua’s warning arrived too late to stop a missile barrage from striking their hidden stronghold.
The Sun Moon Sect launched a remote missile bombardment against the Clear Sky Sect, overwhelming its defenses while Tang Xiao searched in vain for an enemy to fight. The sect’s protection formation shattered, leaving its people exposed to the incoming missiles.
The Sun Moon Sect destroyed the Clear Sky Sect and announced that it had acted after the sect tried to free Tang Hao and Tang San. The news reached Heaven Dou City and the Worship Hall, where Qian Daoliu decided to seek Bo Saixi and unite with her and Tang Chen against the Sun Moon Sect’s master.
Li Chen ordered Ju Zi to send thousands of Sun Moon Academy trainees into the Star Luo Empire’s villages to build support, despite the risks of betrayal and disorder. He then forced Flender and Yu Xiaogang to join the Sun Moon Sect, ending by assigning them and Liu Erlong a mission to kill a Spirit Hall elder.
Li Chen planned to provoke a war across the continent and recruit Bo Saixi and the Snow Empress to help counter Spirit Hall. Bo Saixi initially refused Qian Daoliu’s request to fight the Sun Moon Sect but decided to leave Sea God Island to seek Tang Chen, while Li Chen began negotiating with the Snow Empress.
Li Chen used the God-Sealing Platform and a threat involving missile strikes to negotiate with the Snow Empress, who wanted to claim her future self’s embryo. She agreed to hear his request, but reacted angrily when he asked her to help hold off Qian Daoliu.
Snow Empress agreed to help Li Chen kill Qian Daoliu in exchange for a level-nine defensive Soul Tool and an embryo that could give her a chance to survive. She left the Far North with Li Chen, while Zi JI rushed back to the Star Dou Great Forest fearing Li Chen would no longer need its help; Qian Daoliu remained unaware that Snow Empress was coming for him.
Ji Juechen and Dai Weisi arrived in South Sea City to suppress a supposed dock rebellion, only to find the workers demanding higher wages. Ji Juechen summoned a vast sword attack despite Dai Weisi and City Lord Dai Mo urging restraint, leaving the workers fleeing as the swords descended.
Ji Juechen quelled the South Sea City dock unrest, then used Dai Weisi’s death to frame the Spirit Hall Empire and purge the city’s nobles. As Star Luo and Spirit Hall mobilized for war over the killing and Qian Renxue’s disappearance, Li Chen watched from the Sun Moon Sect shop’s basement with Qian Renxue captive.
