After the agreement reached at Huo Yuhao’s meeting became public, the three nations reacted to its demands and began repairing their relations while Huo Yuhao’s Integration Movement started carrying out the settlement’s provisions. The chapter leaves Douluo Star in a fragile peace as Soul Beast City and the rebuilt Spirit Hall take shape.

• People across Douluo Star learned of the agreement, while ordinary residents largely supported its provisions and Federation Council Members worried about the reforms that threatened their interests.
• Dai Tianling and Xue Yuntian stayed in the Sun Moon Federation with Mo Lan to rest, improve relations between the three parties, and observe Huo Yuhao’s next moves.
• Integration Movement personnel entered the Star Dou Great Forest, took over the ruined Star Dou Fortress, and began building the first city for Soul Beasts.
• Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Snow Empress, and other Soul Beasts returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and joined its development, increasingly accepting the use of Soul Tools.
• Huo Yuhao sent Integration Movement members to Spirit Pagodas to teach the equal-version soul spirit contract, install Cultivation Platforms, and establish Rebuilt Spirit Hall branches.

Huo Yuhao established Spirit Hall in Shrek City and Heaven Dou City as a welfare and relief organization, with Qian Renxue leading its work. As she organized aid and support for vulnerable people, Qian Renxue reflected on her grandfather and chose to spread hope by a different path, while Bibi Dong stayed beside her for her sake.

• Huo Yuhao turned the unused Spirit Academy site in Shrek City into Spirit Hall, intending it to support residents still suffering from the bombing rather than compete with Shrek Academy.
• Spirit Hall began operating in Shrek City and Heaven Dou City, and its members from the Integration Movement helped reduce local people's fear and resistance through their relief work.
• Qian Renxue received lists of people needing assistance and arranged aid to restore their livelihoods, including taking in children whose Martial Souls might lead them to be classified as Evil Soul Masters.
• Qian Renxue felt disappointed by the Sun Moon Federation's slow response to hardship, while Bibi Dong considered its pace typical compared with Integration Star.
• Qian Renxue remembered Qian Daoliu and chose to spread her light without kneeling before the Angel God, while Bibi Dong watched over her.

Qian Renxue considered the Holy Angel Clan’s offer to join Spirit Hall and insisted that its members embrace the organization’s ideals rather than claim influence through ancestry. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao arranged a public punishment for Qiangu Dongfeng, whose involvement in the bombing of Shrek City had been revealed.

• Yue Zhengen told Qian Renxue that the Holy Angel Clan wanted to help rebuild Spirit Hall, citing its connection to Bibi Dong and the Angel Clan.
• Qian Renxue welcomed those who practiced Spirit Hall’s ideals but avoided letting a powerful family take control of it.
• Yue Zhengyu asked Yue Zhengen whether Qian Renxue was the person he had sought, and Yue Zhengen replied that it was nothing.
• Qian Renxue reflected that Spirit Hall should serve its ideals rather than become dominated by a family like the Qiangu Family had dominated the Spirit Pagoda.
• Residents of Shrek City watched Qiangu Dongfeng on Soul Guidance Screens after Huo Yuhao revealed his role in the city’s bombing.
• Huo Yuhao arranged for Qiangu Dongfeng to face a public punishment as Shrek City residents, Shrek Academy members, and Tang Sect members watched.

Yun Ming executed Qiangu Dongfeng for his role in the Shrek City bombing and his dealings with the Holy Spirit Cult, while the Spirit Pagoda’s other collaborators also faced punishment. Huo Yuhao failed to contact the missing Ghost Emperor and then examined the Golden Dragon King Essence Blood as Austin Griffin challenged him.

• Tang Ziran and the other survivors recounted the Spirit Pagoda’s underground laboratory crimes, and Qiangu Zhangting learned of Qiangu Dongfeng’s actions.
• Yun Ming killed Qiangu Dongfeng with the Skyreach Spear, and Qiangu Qingfeng and Qiangu Zhangting watched from the crowd.
• Qiangu Dieting and other Spirit Pagoda participants were executed or had their cultivation crippled as the proceedings were broadcast across Douluo Star.
• Huo Yuhao tried to contact the Ghost Emperor using Qiangu Dongfeng’s communicator but got no response.
• Huo Yuhao took out the Golden Dragon King Essence Blood, and Austin Griffin questioned how long he intended to delay.

Huo Yuhao reviewed the Integration Movement’s progress while Dai Yun'er stayed near him, hoping to improve his view of the Dai Family. After Dai Yun'er recounted her awkward past encounter with Tang Wulin, Leng Xiao lamented that her brother and Yue Ye were not as proactive.

• The Spirit Hall’s relief work and the Spirit Pagoda’s soul spirit program continued, while public attention focused more on Huo Yuhao’s clothes and gossip than on the agreement.
• Dai Tianling sent Dai Yun'er to spend time with Huo Yuhao, hoping to soften his stance toward the Dai Family.
• Dai Yun'er had her soul spirit separated, signed an equal-version contract after its body was restored, and saw the damage the bombing had caused in the city.
• Dai Yun'er told Leng Xiao and the others about her past with Tang Wulin, explaining why their recent encounter had left them awkward and why he had instinctively stepped back.
• Qiu'er asked whether Dai Yun'er still wanted to repeat what she had done; Dai Yun'er firmly refused, and Leng Xiao complained that her brother and Yue Ye were not more proactive.

Tang Wulin recognized that Shrek City's residents had been neglected amid the rebuilding of Shrek Academy and came to help at Spirit Hall as an ordinary person. There, he saw Qiangu Zhangting trying to ease the harm caused by his grandfather's actions, while Huo Yuhao watched over him and warned Bibi Dong about Tang Wulin's power.

• Tang Wulin reflected on how the rebuilding efforts had overlooked Shrek City's displaced residents and understood why A Bao had been weary of competition.
• Tang Wulin went to Spirit Hall to help, where he saw Qiangu Zhangting quietly working to make amends for the pain caused by Qiangu Dongfeng's bombing.
• Qiangu Zhangting recalled the grieving residents of Shrek City and realized he could neither resent them nor seek revenge for his grandfather.
• Tang Wulin began helping without acting as a leader of Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect, and Long Yuxue and the Blood Dragon Squad arrived to assist.
• Bibi Dong watched Tang Wulin, and Huo Yuhao warned her that the Golden Dragon King's power would be difficult to handle if it erupted.

Tang Wulin and his friends brought Youyou and the other Soul Spirits back to Douluo Star as the restoration of Soul Spirit bodies continued. After seeing Integration Star’s mixed-race society, Tang Wulin hoped Douluo Star could become similar, while he and Gu Yuena and their friends shared affectionate moments on the journey.

• Youyou told Tang Wulin she was delighted to feel the soil again, while Jiao Jiao and the others chatted with Octagonal and Xiao Lan.
• Tang Wulin reflected that Jin Yu, the Tyrant Dragon, and the Thunderclap Hellvine had chosen to remain as Soul Spirits, while Youyou returned with Jiao Jiao and the others.
• Tang Wulin and his friends recalled visiting Integration Star and seeing its different races living together under Huo Yuhao’s requirements, which made Tang Wulin hope Douluo Star could follow its example.
• Tang Wulin reassured Gu Yuena that his feelings for her had not changed, and she blushed and told him she already knew.
• Xie Xie leaned on Yuanen Yehui’s shoulder after seeing the other couples, then stiffened when she mentioned her father wanted to spar with him again.

Huo Yuhao brought Youyou and the other Plant-type Soul Beasts to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to plan a Soul Beast City there and remove its Poison Miasma. At the well, he sensed a faint presence drawing him in and asked Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin whether they had noticed it too.

• Huo Yuhao suppressed the seven-colored Poison Miasma with his Ultimate Ice as he led Youyou and the others toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving Xie Xie and the others shivering behind him.
• Huo Yuhao planned to develop the area into a Soul Beast City for Plant-type Soul Beasts while other groups worked on rebuilding populations and constructing the city in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Youyou and the other Plant-type Soul Beasts excitedly returned to their old places, while Octagonal and Xiao Lan stayed with Huo Yuhao at the edge of the well.
• Huo Yuhao sensed a strange pull and faint aura within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then asked Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin whether they had sensed anything.

Huo Yuhao sensed a mysterious Dragon Clan-related pull from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena could not detect. After discovering that the apparent Dragon Lords were only figures made of spring water, Huo Yuhao led Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena into the spring to investigate what lay below.

• Huo Yuhao sensed an elusive pull in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and suspected it was related to the Dragon Clan.
• Youyou explained that Jiao Jiao had discovered two Dragon Lords beneath the spring, which had answered the immortal herbs’ call for help.
• Youyou summoned two enormous Dragon Lords, but Huo Yuhao dispelled them and identified them as figures formed from spring water.
• Huo Yuhao asked Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena to explore the spring with him, and they agreed.
• Tang Wulin grasped Gu Yuena’s hand and activated his Golden Dragon King Martial Soul as they entered the spring, but Huo Yuhao’s divine power shielded them from its extreme heat and cold.

Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yuena discovered tiny Spatial Rifts beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and crossed through one to find the remains of two Dragon Kings. Gu Yuena understood how their bodies and blood had created the spring, while the cause of their arrival remained unknown.

• Huo Yuhao examined the false dragon skeleton at the bottom of the spring, and Gu Yuena explained that it was ordinary rock transformed by another power.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena detected tiny Spatial Rifts around the skeleton, and Gu Yuena guided Tang Wulin's Spiritual Power so he could sense them too.
• Huo Yuhao opened a large Spatial Rift, and he, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yuena crossed into the space beyond it.
• Huo Yuhao identified two enormous skeletons as possibly belonging to the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King, and Gu Yuena mourned the fallen dragons.
• Huo Yuhao deduced that the Dragon Kings' blood had flowed through the Spatial Rifts and formed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Gu Yuena said she understood what had happened.

Gu Yuena chose to bury the two Dragon Kings’ remains, and their skeletons vanished, leaving a Fire Dragon King Soul Bone for Tang Wulin and Dragon Clouds for Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao sensed that the Water Dragon King’s lingering obsession had responded to Xiao An’s aura and said Tang Wulin would learn more later.

• Gu Yuena reflected on the Dragon Clan’s decline and asked Tang Wulin to help her bury the two dragon skeletons; he agreed.
• Huo Yuhao sensed an obsession lingering in the bones and invited Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena closer.
• The first skeleton turned to ash, leaving a Fire Dragon King Soul Bone that flew to Tang Wulin and a red Dragon Cloud that flew to Gu Yuena.
• The other skeleton also dispersed, leaving a faint blue Dragon Cloud in Huo Yuhao’s hand and no Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would not change immediately and told Tang Wulin that some answers would come later.

Yi Zichen entered the rebuilt Shrek Academy as its first new students arrived, while Yun Ming kept Greed Old Demon from subjecting them to harsher tests. At the Myriad Beast Platform, Da Ming and Er Ming met Huo Yuhao and wondered how his changed appearance would affect his relationship with Tang Wutong.

• Yi Zichen accepted the equal-version soul spirit contract and passed Shrek Academy's rigorous admissions tests.
• Yun Ming refused Greed Old Demon's suggestion to make the new students' entrance tests harder and mentioned inviting Huo Yuhao to guide them.
• Long Yeyue praised Yun Ming for dealing with Greed Old Demon, and Ya Li remarked on Na'er's popularity among the new students.
• Yun Ming told Ya Li that Wulin had gone with Gu Yuena and Senior Ling Bing to take care of certain things.
• Da Ming and Er Ming met Huo Yuhao in the Myriad Beast Platform and wondered what his changed appearance meant for his relationship with Tang Wutong.

Huo Yuhao explained to Da Ming and Er Ming why he and Tang Wutong had not reunited in the Divine Realm, while Bibi Dong challenged the two about their loyalty to Tang San. The confrontation nearly became a fight until Huo Yuhao suppressed both sides with his power.

• Huo Yuhao told Da Ming and Er Ming that Tang Wutong had lost her memories of Douluo Star and had not recognized him in the Divine Realm.
• Qiu'er questioned Tang San's explanation that she was part of Tang Wutong's Divine Sense, and Da Ming called the situation a misunderstanding.
• Bibi Dong confronted Da Ming and Er Ming, mocking them for still defending Tang San and pointing out that he had left them on Douluo Star.
• Snow Empress and the others reminded Da Ming and Er Ming that Soul Beasts could have gone to the Divine Realm, leaving the two unable to answer.
• Da Ming and Er Ming began gathering power against Bibi Dong, but Huo Yuhao released his pressure and stopped the confrontation.

Huo Yuhao stopped Da Ming, Er Ming, and Bibi Dong from fighting, then arranged for the Myriad Beast Platform’s Soul Beasts to be evacuated and took the Dragon God Core. As they left, a consciousness within the core sensed Huo Yuhao’s aura and was greatly astonished.

• Huo Yuhao revealed his God Level strength, causing Da Ming and Er Ming to stand down and Bibi Dong to step back.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena arranged for the Myriad Beast Platform’s Soul Beasts to move to the Soul Beast Area on Integration Star or Star Dou Great Forest.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena discussed the Dragon God Core, which sustained the Myriad Beast Platform, and began evacuating its Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao told Da Ming he would do nothing about Wutong’s situation, while Gu Yuena said the Soul Beasts no longer needed to pursue their former extreme plan.
• The Soul Beasts were evacuated, Gu Yuena handed the Dragon God Core to Huo Yuhao, and a consciousness inside it reacted with astonishment to his aura.

Huo Yuhao brought Xiao An and the others to Dragon Valley to give Xiao An a Universe Creation Pill and help him face his connection to the Golden Dragon King's power. After Xiao An ate the pill and began to transform, Huo Yuhao addressed the Dragon God Core and challenged someone to reveal themselves.

• Huo Yuhao told Xiao An he would give him another Universe Creation Pill, and Gu Yuena explained to Tang Wulin that Xiao An would take over some of her responsibilities.
• Huo Yuhao opened a spatial rift and led the group into Dragon Valley, where Tang Wulin recognized the place and the others sensed its dragon presence and buried dragon souls.
• Tang Wulin recognized the pill as a Universe Creation Pill and sensed the Golden Dragon King's aura within it while Gu Yuena explained Xiao An's connection to that power.
• Xiao An hesitated to take the pill because he felt an inexplicable resistance, but Huo Yuhao encouraged him to face what was coming.
• Xiao An ate the pill, and golden and silver auras surged through him as he sat down to regulate their power.
• The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life emerged from Xiao An's Sea of Consciousness, and Huo Yuhao held up the Dragon God Core and called for someone to show themselves.

The Dragon God’s consciousness emerged from the Dragon God Core and explained that the Cosmic Consciousness had caused him to lose control during his ascension, leading him to kill the Dragon Clan Crown Prince. The revelation left the group with more questions, and Evil Lord confronted the Dragon God about the curse that had plagued Soul Beasts.

• The Dragon God appeared from the Dragon God Core, recognized Xiao An, and thanked Huo Yuhao for bringing him back, but Huo Yuhao told him to let Xiao An choose his own path.
• The Dragon God recounted how he had sensed a familiar aura in Huo Yuhao and later discovered Xiao An, then revealed himself after Xiao An reacted to the Universe Creation Pill.
• Di Tian greeted the Dragon God, who recalled him and continued his account of the upheaval.
• The Dragon God explained that the Cosmic Consciousness had influenced him during his ascent to a God Star, causing him to lose control and kill the Dragon Clan Crown Prince.
• Evil Lord demanded to know why the Dragon God had placed a curse on Soul Beasts, and Di Tian moved to pull him back.

Huo Yuhao accused the Dragon God of engineering the Soul Beasts’ tribulations and the Dragon Clan’s suffering to ensure that a successor with his bloodline would inherit the Dragon God’s position. The Dragon God avoided confirming or denying the accusation and asked whether Huo Yuhao intended to finish off the recovering figure before him.

• The Dragon God said the curse could be broken when a new Dragon God took his rightful place, prompting disbelief from the Evil Lord, Elder Yi, and the others.
• Elder Yi challenged the Dragon God’s reasoning, but the Dragon God dismissed his ability to understand the method.
• Huo Yuhao argued that the Dragon God had planned to make a pure-blooded successor and had accepted the suffering of Soul Beasts, the Dragon Clan, and other races to secure his bloodline’s rule.
• The Dragon God briefly averted his eyes as everyone watched him, then told Huo Yuhao that the figure recovering before him would thank her for bringing him there.
• The Dragon God questioned whether Huo Yuhao planned to finish the recovering figure off and whether she could stop him once his original power returned.

Huo Yuhao condemned the Dragon God for sacrificing his race to preserve his bloodline’s status, while clarifying that he wanted the curse on Soul Beasts broken rather than the Dragon God’s power. The Dragon God fell silent, and Di Tian began to question the beliefs he had held about the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan.

• Huo Yuhao told the Dragon God he would not interfere with the recovery process, but hoped the curse on all Soul Beasts would be broken afterward.
• Huo Yuhao accused the Dragon God of sacrificing his race to protect his bloodline’s status and compared him to other powerful figures who treated people as expendable.
• The Dragon God asked whether Huo Yuhao would stop the process or claim the power, and warned that he could still cause trouble.
• Huo Yuhao said he wanted no power and had spoken so the others would know the truth about the Dragon God’s past actions.
• Di Tian listened without defending the Dragon God and began to feel that the distinction he had made between the Dragon Clan and Soul Beasts had no meaning.

Huo Yuhao waited in Dragon Valley as Xiao An slowly integrated the Golden Dragon King’s Power, while the Dragon God’s history changed how Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin, and Di Tian understood themselves and their past. Huo Yuhao helped Tang Wulin control the Golden Dragon King’s emotions, and Xiao An’s integration remained underway.

• Xiao An spent two weeks integrating the Golden Dragon King’s Power alongside the Silver Dragon King’s power while Huo Yuhao and the others kept watch.
• Gu Yuena learned she was a new soul rather than a fragment of the Dragon God’s Consciousness, and she began to see herself as Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
• Tang Wulin and the other Soul Beasts reacted with discomfort to the Dragon God’s past actions, and Di Tian stopped showing the Dragon God’s Consciousness his former respect.
• Tang Wulin gave Huo Yuhao the Dragon God’s Tears Bracelet, and Huo Yuhao examined the Golden Dragon King’s Seal in Tang Wulin’s Sea of Consciousness.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed most of the violent emotions within the Golden Dragon King’s Power, then declined Tang Wulin’s offer of the Ice God Pearl because he could create similar treasures himself.

In Dragon Valley, Huo Yuhao watched Xiao An fuse two powers while Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin returned the Fire Dragon King’s dragon cloud to its resting place. After Qiu’er left, the Dragon God’s Consciousness warned Huo Yuhao that the chaos energy sealed inside him could not be stopped if released, though his warning offered no useful advice.

• The Time Dragon King briefly appeared before the Dragon God’s Consciousness, then hid himself again among the Dragon souls.
• Gu Yuena told Qiu’er that the Fire Dragon King’s return suggested his descendants still lived elsewhere, and she and Tang Wulin left Dragon Valley after burying his dragon cloud.
• Qiu’er sat quietly with Huo Yuhao before leaving, while he continued working on the items in his hands.
• The Dragon God’s Consciousness sensed the chaos energy sealed inside Huo Yuhao and warned that no one could stop it if it escaped or detonated.
• Huo Yuhao and the others regarded the Dragon God’s Consciousness’s warning as obvious and unhelpful.

Huo Yuhao explained to the Dragon God’s Consciousness that the Integration Movement was not meant to last forever, but to help people understand their hardships and work together to change them. After Huo Yuhao finished explaining his approach, the Dragon God’s Consciousness fell silent.

• The Dragon God’s Consciousness asked Huo Yuhao whether the Integration Movement could endure forever.
• Huo Yuhao said that neither the movement nor Integration Star would necessarily last forever, and explained that he had chosen this work because he wanted to help people save themselves.
• Huo Yuhao described how division and misplaced blame kept people from recognizing the forces causing their suffering.
• Huo Yuhao argued that lasting change required social safeguards, education, oversight, and plans for unexpected problems, not just good intentions.
• Huo Yuhao finished the object he had been making as he said he only hoped people would see that seemingly permanent problems could be solved.
• The Dragon God’s Consciousness remained silent, while the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life sensed what made Huo Yuhao different.

Xiao An completed the fusion of the two powers and awakened with a transformed dragon body and aura. After reliving the Dragon Clan Crown Prince’s memories and witnessing the Dragon God’s devastation, he greeted Huo Yuhao and then addressed the Dragon God’s consciousness.

• Huo Yuhao waited with the Dragon God’s consciousness, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life as Xiao An fused the powers within his body.
• The Dragon God’s consciousness recounted the Dragon God’s past, and Huo Yuhao learned that the Dragon Clan Crown Prince’s death had driven the Dragon God’s later actions.
• Xiao An’s dream continued beyond his death, showing him the Dragon God’s rampage, the destruction of the Dragon God Realm, and the Dragon God splitting into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.
• Xiao An revisited memories of another version of himself and ended the dream by clasping hands with him.
• Xiao An awakened as his dragon phantom merged into his body, and his new aura stirred Dragon Valley.
• Huo Yuhao congratulated Xiao An, who then turned to the Dragon God’s consciousness and addressed him as the Dragon God.

Huo Yuhao returned the Water Dragon King’s dragon cloud and several items to the Dragon Clan Crown Prince, then shared his feelings and asked him to remove the Curse when he became the next Dragon God. After leaving Dragon Valley, Huo Yuhao returned to Integration Star in a somber mood and silenced Austin Griffin.

• The Dragon God’s Consciousness acknowledged the Dragon Clan Crown Prince’s objections to his past actions and stepped aside with the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life.
• Huo Yuhao gave the Dragon Clan Crown Prince the Water Dragon King’s dragon cloud, which returned to the sky of Dragon Valley after recognizing him.
• Huo Yuhao gave the Dragon Clan Crown Prince the Dragon God Core, the Dragon God's Tears, a Storage Soul Tool, and a set of four-word battle armor, then spoke of his feelings for him.
• Huo Yuhao asked the Dragon Clan Crown Prince to remove the Curse once he became the next Dragon God and urged him to stay safe and take his time.
• Huo Yuhao embraced the Dragon Clan Crown Prince, left Dragon Valley, and returned to Integration Star.
• Austin Griffin questioned Huo Yuhao about his mood, and Huo Yuhao cut off his voice to regain some quiet.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er shared a quiet moment of companionship after his powers fused, while he reflected on his changing identity and relationships. Days later, Ling Zichen pleaded with Huo Yuhao to let her study his source equipment as Zhen Hua and Tang Wulin visited to examine his five-word battle armor.

• Qiu'er sat down and let Huo Yuhao rest his head on her lap as they quietly enjoyed each other's company.
• Huo Yuhao recognized that his role as Dragon Clan Crown Prince and future Dragon God meant his relationships had to adjust, though his feelings remained unchanged.
• A few days later at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Zhen Hua and Tang Wulin examined Huo Yuhao's Ice Extreme God of War Armor and learned how it had been forged.
• Ling Zichen pleaded with Huo Yuhao for another chance to inspect his source equipment, while Cao Dezhi, Zang Xin, Tang Wulin, and the others watched awkwardly.
• Huo Yuhao listened to Ling Zichen while reading a report, then looked up at her.

Ling Zichen, Zhen Hua, and the others visited Integration Star to study adaptive soul forging, where they witnessed its production line and the Integration Movement’s use of magic and alchemy. Ling Zichen then discovered an unfinished Soul Tool and began examining its power system, driven by her longstanding interest in the source.

• Ling Zichen, Zhen Hua, and the others visited Integration Star to learn how adaptive soul forging was made, confident that seeing the process would not let them easily reproduce it without understanding magic and alchemy.
• Zhen Hua and the other blacksmiths watched the adaptive soul forging production line and recognized how its output could transform blacksmithing.
• Ling Zichen studied the enchanting applied to metals and considered how it could improve the nanomaterial armor beneath her skin.
• Ling Zichen followed unusual-sized parts from a production line and entered a facility where an unfinished Soul Tool was being built.
• Ling Zichen examined the Soul Tool’s power system before she was caught, explaining that researching the source had long been her own and her late parents’ wish.
