• Li Chen realized the transforming robots might let him gather faith by taking the forms of people's deepest desires.
• In Gengxin City, Ju Zi discovered traces of the Clear Sky Sect less than a week after Dai Wei Si left.

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.

• Tang Long and Tang Hu entered Sun Moon City disguised as merchants and booked an inn to secretly survey the city and its patrols.
• Ju Zi listened in on their plans and ordered the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps to let them investigate, intending to wait for the Clear Sky Sect’s main force.

• Li Chen killed Tang Long and Tang Hu with his Spirit-Devouring Blade, then ordered the captured Clear Sky Sect disciples killed and their bodies burned.
• Tang San guessed that the Sun Moon Sect members were Tang Sect seniors who had transmigrated, and he asked Li Chen to spare him as a fellow disciple.
• Tang San explained that he was an Outer Court disciple who could make the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, but Li Chen dismissed his claim and gagged him again.
• Li Chen ordered Tang Hao moved into Tang San’s cell so the father and son would be imprisoned together.
• Tang San freed his gag, and Tang Hao accused him of hiding his past-life identity and causing Ah Yin’s death before grabbing him by the throat.

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.

• Tang Yuehua sent a coded warning telling the Clear Sky Sect to flee, but the elders dismissed the danger until Tang Xiao sensed mortal peril.
• Tang Xiao ordered everyone to run as missiles descended on the sect, but the barrage struck and exploded before he could finish warning them.

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.

• Tang Xiao and the Five Elders activated the Clear Sky Sect’s formation and rallied the disciples to defend against the missile barrage.
• Tang Xiao temporarily reached Limit Douluo strength with the elders’ support and flew out to intercept missiles, but he found no enemies nearby.
• Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen watched from Heaven Dou City as the Sun Moon Sect’s satellite-guided missiles struck the sect.
• Tang Xiao was badly wounded and fell back to the mountaintop as the elders feared the formation would fail.
• Tang Xiao concluded that Tang Long, Tang Hu, and the other captured members were likely dead, and the Clear Sky Sect’s formation shattered as missiles flew into the crowd.

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.

• Kong Deming ordered the Imperial Soul Engineer Corps to search the Clear Sky Sect’s ruins for survivors and told Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to spread the claim that the sect had been destroyed after attempting a prison break.
• Kong Deming told Jing Hongchen that the Clear Sky Sect’s destruction was only the first step toward uniting the continent, while Lou Gao remained absorbed in developing Soul Tool Technology.
• Xue Ye summoned Yu Yuanzhen, Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Xing to discuss the Sun Moon Sect’s sudden attack, and Dugu Bo and Xue Qinghe urged him to wait for an explanation.

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.

• Ju Zi reported that several thousand academy students had passed their basic assessment, but she could not guarantee their loyalty.

• Ju Zi dispatched the trainees in teams, though she remained anxious about what they might do without supervision.

• Flender agreed first, and Yu Xiaogang followed when Li Chen aimed a Soul Tool pistol at him.
• Li Chen told Flender and Yu Xiaogang that Liu Erlong would join them and that the three would be equipped 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 ordered Flender and Yu Xiaogang to kill Spirit Hall elders, then had Soul Tool Bombs implanted in them to prevent them from escaping.
• Li Chen told Ju Zi he had released prisoners to spark a continent-wide war and ordered the Sun Moon Sect to sell weapons to the Three Great Powers.
• Qian Daoliu asked Bo Saixi to join forces against the Sun Moon Sect, but she refused to leave Sea God Island and warned him to tell Tang Chen not to act rashly.
• Bo Saixi reconsidered and decided to leave Sea God Island so she could see Tang Chen and caution him.
• Li Chen triggered an avalanche in the Far North Ice Plains to draw out the Snow Empress, then offered to make a deal with her.

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.

• Zi JI tried to take Li Chen away, but the Snow Empress let her leave and insisted Li Chen stay.
• Li Chen revealed the God-Sealing Platform and told the Snow Empress it contained her ten-thousand-years-future self, who had reincarnated and been sealed.
• The Snow Empress demanded the box, but Li Chen threatened to detonate a Level 9 missile and warned that satellites would launch more if he did not leave the Far North within half an hour.
• After ten minutes of negotiation, the Snow Empress asked what Li Chen wanted, and he asked her to hold off Qian Daoliu while they attacked him with Level 9 shells.
• Li Chen argued that helping them offered the Snow Empress a better chance of survival than facing her tribulation or reincarnating, leaving her furious.

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.

• Li Chen's Superbrain Martial Soul offered Snow Empress a level-nine defensive Soul Tool and estimated her chance of surviving at 80 percent if she helped stop Qian Daoliu, and Snow Empress agreed.
