Huo Yuhao and his companions arrived at the Dou Ling imperial palace as Xue Kui and Xue Leng tried to seize the throne and kill Xue Lingxun and Xu Sanshi. They defeated the usurpers, then left after saving the royal family, and Huo Yuhao asked Nan Shuishui about the peculiar book she had promised him.

• Huo Yuhao and his companions left without giving Xu Sanshi their names, and Huo Yuhao asked Nan Shuishui about the peculiar book she had mentioned.

After recovering, Huo Yuhao learned that Nan Shuishui’s book was in Earth Dragon Sect’s Dragon City, while the Silver Dragon Empress began her Dragon God trials and took Qiu’er away for her safety.

The next day, Huo Yuhao accompanied Nan Shuishui to the Earth Dragon Sect’s well, where he retrieved a mysterious book titled “Twelve Zodiac Guardians.”

After learning from a mysterious book and strengthening his [Audience] power, Huo Yuhao returned to the East Star Luo Empire and helped Nan Shuishui cultivate with destruction-attribute energy.

• Huo Yuhao worried that Snow Girl’s human maturity would break the Far North’s favor and change her future.
• Huo Yuhao told Snow Girl that humans were weak in physique and elemental affinity, and argued that cultivators and gods alike relied on external aids.

Huo Yuhao taught Snow Girl to use adamantine and magic arrays to strengthen her Ice God Sword, explaining that physical artifacts could stabilize cultivators as their power became increasingly intangible. The method produced an orange spiritual double who could cultivate for Snow Girl, while Huo Yuhao left the laboratory bruised after the baby called him Daddy and Snow Girl confronted him.

• Huo Yuhao taught Snow Girl to forge adamantine and inscribe magic arrays, explaining why powerful cultivators needed physical artifacts to anchor their existence.

• Huo Yuhao left the laboratory bruised and recognized that the test had made the cultivator stage of his Fate Artifact Cultivation Method more accessible.

• Huo Yuhao modified the Eye of Destiny with adamantine while Electrolux promised to prevent Great Heavenly Demon Qiongqi from descending in his true body.
• Huo Yuhao told Electrolux, Tian Meng, and the others that the Tang Family monitored the Douluo Star and its Life Stars and had scripted his previous life.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the memories visible to the Tang Family in this life were limited to what he chose to reveal, and that his companions’ memories had become distorted after they joined him.
• Huo Yuhao finished modifying the Eye of Destiny, and it produced a girl who named herself Huo Yutong.
• Huo Yutong offered to handle cultivation so Huo Yuhao would not burden Electrolux, then proposed teaching the fate artifact method to others, starting with Sister Guyi.

Huo Yuhao tested his completed Fate Artifact Cultivation Method on people with different levels of talent and concluded that it could give anyone a path to power. He gained Xu Jiujiu’s support to spread it first through the Star Luo Empire, where the method would take years to flourish.

• Huo Yuhao had Ye Guyi and Ling Luochеn reflect their second selves and found that Ye Guyi perceived hers much faster because of her superior talent.
• Huo Yuhao tested the method on Tang Ya, who eventually perceived her chibi self despite her poor innate qi and the modest alloy used to house it.

• Huo Yuhao told Xu Jiujiu about the method, and she recognized his plan to introduce it in the Star Luo Empire.
• Huo Yuhao said Star Luo City and the Star Luo Empire were his home, and Xu Jiujiu agreed to cooperate as he cautioned that the method would take at least ten years to flourish.

Huo Yuhao explained the Worry-Free Art, a cultivation method that could reveal the self beneath imposed changes and help ordinary people cultivate. In the Divine Realm, Tang San punished Tang Wutong, drew [Huo Yuhao] into a scheme involving the Divine Forbidden Land, then announced that his son-in-law had died.

• Huo Yuhao told Snow Girl that the Worry-Free Art used a person's innermost nature as a mirror and could open cultivation to ordinary people.

• Tang San froze [Huo Yuhao]'s expression in the water world and told the Divine Officials to announce that his son-in-law had died from Heavenly Dao backlash.

Huo Yuhao learned that the false Huo Yuhao had died after the Golden Dragon King manipulated his Martial Souls, while Tang San planned to inspect Huo Yuhao’s memories when he ascended. As Huo Yuhao prepared for the Tang Family’s continued hostility, his companions promoted his Worry-Free Art and fussed over his unusual true-heart manifestation.

• The Golden Dragon King killed the false Huo Yuhao by making him destroy himself, then allowed the Divine Realm to believe he had died from backlash after warning of spacetime turbulence.
• Tang San told the gods that Tang Wutong was too grief-stricken to receive visitors, while the God of Destruction stayed silent as others condemned his past actions.
• Rong Nianbing warned Huo Yuhao that Tang San intended to examine his memories after he ascended to the Divine Realm.
• Huo Yutong complained that the Tang Family would keep pursuing her, and Huo Yuhao resolved to settle matters with them one day.
• Snow Girl, Ye Guyi, and the others helped Princess Xu Jiujiu spread Huo Yuhao’s Worry-Free Art, while Ji Juechen remained opposed to relying on tools.
• At a meal, Snow Girl and Xiao Xiao picked up Huo Yutong and marveled at her adorable appearance as Huo Yuhao struggled to explain her form.

Huo Yuhao warned his companions that the Hell Demi-Plane’s elite Terror Knights threatened Douluo Continent and explained why he was forcing ordinary people to learn combat skills. He then questioned the Evil Emperor about Sun Moon’s power structure and learned a blue-haired young man had once promised the emperor territory.

• Ye Guyi asked whether Huo Yuhao had spread new cultivation arts through the Star Luo Empire to prepare for war, and he confirmed that the arts were meant to help people face the coming threat.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Terror Knights were the Hell Demi-Plane’s true elite, combining martial arts and magic, and urged his companions not to grow complacent amid the continent’s danger.
• Huo Yuhao traveled to Mingdu but first visited the Evil Demon Forest and imprisoned the Evil Emperor to ask what role he held in Sun Moon.
• The Evil Emperor said he was roughly like Spirit Hall’s former position, but Huo Yuhao argued that Sun Moon’s true center of power lay elsewhere.
• Huo Yuhao deduced that a blue-haired young man had enabled the Evil Emperor to injure Di Tian and survive past the old era’s limits, and the Evil Emperor admitted the young man had promised him territory.

Huo Yuhao forced the Evil Emperor to become Ju Zi’s Wisdom Soul Ring, then asked her to help reconcile the Sun Moon Empire with the nations of Douluo. After observing Sun Moon’s wartime organization, he asked Xuan Ziwen how its culture differed from Douluo’s.

• Huo Yuhao confronted the Evil Emperor about his role in guiding the Sun Moon Empire and made him choose between sacrifice and suffering; the Evil Emperor chose sacrifice.
• Huo Yuhao presented the Evil Emperor to Ju Zi, who had become regent, and began the sacrifice that gave her the soul ring Little Evil.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ju Zi to pursue reconciliation between Sun Moon and the nations of Douluo rather than conquest, and she agreed.
• Huo Yuhao observed Sun Moon’s efficient military and internal order, then met Xuan Ziwen and asked how its culture differed from Douluo’s.
• Xuan Ziwen said Sun Moon seemed like a path Douluo might have taken without the Spirit Hall Empire’s war, and Huo Yuhao asked why.

Xuan Ziwen explained the disputed history of the Angel God and how faith in her had shaped the Douluo Continent’s development. Huo Yuhao realized that Sun Moon’s lack of absolute belief in a god had helped its people pursue soul tool technology, and suspected that this was why Xuan Ziwen’s family had immigrated there.

• Xuan Ziwen told Huo Yuhao that guild records contained no mention of Qian Yuhan and that people had doubted the Angel God’s existence before the Spirit Hall Empire War.
• Xuan Ziwen recounted the legend of a benevolent woman who healed humans, purified dark soul beasts, and was tortured to death after humans surrendered her.
• Xuan Ziwen explained that Light Attribute priests’ privileges and the Angel God’s lack of miracles led soul masters to question whether the faith was a lie.
• Xuan Ziwen described how Pope Qian Daoliu’s gold statue of the Angel God manifested Light Attribute soul power but deepened doubts about her character.
• Xuan Ziwen argued that without the war and Qian Renxue’s campaign, the empires might have cast off religious restraints and advanced their soul tool technology.
• Huo Yuhao connected Sun Moon’s technological progress to its lack of absolute god worship and suspected Xuan Ziwen’s family had moved there for that reason.

Huo Yuhao realized that the Tang Family’s Golden Tree plan could drain the Douluo Star’s life energy while soul-tool technology took the blame, so he worked with Xuan Ziwen and Kong Deming to develop alternatives to soul-power-based devices. After Kong Deming tested Huo Yuhao’s light-energy converter, Huo Yuhao wondered what Tang San was planning and why he seemed unafraid of the Dragon God’s soul.

• Huo Yuhao explained to Xuan Ziwen that the Golden Tree could become a second life authority on the Douluo Star, causing its life energy to fall.
• Huo Yuhao asked Xuan Ziwen about soul tools’ reliance on soul power and proposed visiting the Worship Hall laboratory to develop new ideas.
• Huo Yuhao visited Kong Deming, who described his efforts to create energy-channeling devices that did not depend on soul power.
• Huo Yuhao gave Kong Deming a design for a Light Energy Conversion Device and explained its principles to Xuan Ziwen.
• Kong Deming reported that the device used solar energy at over sixty-eight percent efficiency and could reduce soul tools’ reliance on soul power.
• Huo Yuhao wondered what Tang San was plotting and what gave him the confidence to defy the Dragon God’s powerful soul.

Huo Yuhao asked Electrolux about the history of Dragonkind in the Holy Demon Plane and recognized a pattern in how powerful races had destroyed themselves. He grew alarmed that the true Creation God might still be watching events across the universe, and Tian Meng asked whether that being was connected to Huo Yuhao’s former father-in-law.

• Huo Yuhao visited Electrolux in the Netherworld of Douluo Star and asked about Dragonkind’s history.
• Electrolux explained that the Holy Demon Plane had begun as the eternal spirit furnace, and that humans and Elves had evolved from spirit furnaces into physical beings.
• Electrolux recounted how the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon protected humans before a six-headed Chimera emerged from Venom Dragon experiments and destroyed Dragonkind’s greatest races.
• Huo Yuhao connected Dragonkind’s self-destruction to Tang San’s confidence and suspected the Tang Family had studied similar histories to find opportunities.
• Huo Yuhao told Electrolux that the true Creation God was the supreme being above all gods, and Tian Meng asked whether Huo Yuhao’s former father-in-law had a connection to him.
