Huo Yuhao spoke with Na'er about his plans for the Spirit Pagoda and learned that Gu Yuena intended to control human Soul Masters through artificial Soul Spirits. After seeing how Soul Beasts lived in Demon City, Na'er urged Huo Yuhao not to cooperate with Gu Yuena and to stop her plan.

• Na'er explained that Gu Yuena planned to use controlled Soul Masters against humanity, but had no plan to develop Soul Beasts beyond securing them a place to survive.
• Yue Ye questioned how long Gu Yuena could maintain control and how the Soul Beasts would develop, while Na'er’s account made clear that she opposed Gu Yuena’s plan.

Huo Yuhao and his companions discussed Gu Yuena’s plan to counter humanity, the Abyss Plane’s threat, and the Silver Dragon King’s limited knowledge. After reaching the Far North, Huo Yuhao and Qiu’er set out together across its snowfields.

• Qiu’er opposed Gu Yuena’s plan, while A Bao and Leng Xiao recalled how the Demon Race’s lack of development had led to its destruction.
• Na’er explained that Gu Yuena was delaying her plan because the Abyss Plane still threatened Douluo Star, leaving Huo Yuhao and the others to reconsider their preparations.

• Huo Yuhao and the others learned that the Silver Dragon King had spent most of her recovery asleep and had only fragmented memories of the Dragon God’s past.
• Huo Yuhao and Qiu’er reached the Far North, where Qiu’er reassured him and joined him on a walk across the snowfields.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er found the Far North depleted of powerful Soul Beasts, and Huo Yuhao resolved to help Soul Beasts develop rather than repeat the past. At the Far North's Core Area, he began a dance meant to summon its remaining Soul Beasts, while Qiu'er recorded him.

• Huo Yuhao sensed that the Far North had few Soul Beasts and no hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, and he feared A-Tai had not survived.

• Huo Yuhao remembered Snow Empress's Heavenly Snow Woman Dance and decided to gather the Far North's Soul Beasts in the same place.
• Huo Yuhao activated his Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul and began dancing with an Ice Sword as Qiu'er recorded him.

• Huo Yuhao performed a sword dance with the Ice Sword, channeling the Far North’s ice elements and sending a streak of sword light across the region.
• The Far North’s soul beasts sensed Huo Yuhao’s call and gathered at the platform, where Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er calmed their hostility with the power of fate.

• Huo Yuhao began sending the soul beasts into the Undead Demiplane in an orderly fashion.

Bai Xiuxiu enjoyed the Ocean’s sudden quiet while Tang Wulin and his companions returned to the Sun Moon Federation after delaying the Combined Fleet’s attack on the Star Luo Empire. At Tang Sect headquarters, Zang Xin welcomed them back and hinted that a serious new problem had arisen.

• Bai Xiuxiu basked in the sun and enjoyed the plentiful fish, unaware of why the Ocean’s Sea Soul Beasts had disappeared.
• Mang Tian watched news about the crisis and decided there was little he could do while Tang Ziran’s family remained in the Star Luo Empire.
• Tang Wulin and his companions detected the Sun Moon Federation’s Combined Fleet, so Ya Li flew to warn the Star Luo Empire while Xie Xie distracted the fleet and Tang Wulin sought a way to delay it.
• Tang Wulin abandoned his plan to trigger an underwater volcano and instead fused with the Thunderclap Hellvine, using Tang San’s intervention to control the lightning and hold up the fleet.
• The Star Luo Empire repelled the fleet with its coastal defenses and a Level-Ten Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, Mother-and-Child Soulchaser, and the fleet withdrew.
• Tang Wulin returned to Skysea City, where Zang Xin welcomed him and Ya Li, then led them and the others to a conference room to discuss a serious problem.

• Chen Xinjie brought the Combined Fleet home with little damage but depleted energy reserves, and wondered what had happened to the sea’s Sea Soul Beasts.
• Mo Lan saw that the hawks had used the failed expedition and the Tang Sect’s weapons sales to divide the doves and pass the resolution, and she hoped Tang Wulin could handle the crisis.

Qiangu Dongfeng celebrated the Spirit Pagoda’s rise after Shrek Academy was destroyed and the Tang Sect was declared treasonous, while planning to sever ties with the Holy Spirit Cult. Gu Yuena subtly influenced Qiangu Zhangting and prepared to advance the Myriad Beast Platform, though she worried about Tang Wulin and felt alone.

• Qiangu Dongfeng considered Gu Yuena’s achievements and planned for Qiangu Zhangting to marry her so the Qiangu Family could retain control of the Spirit Pagoda.
• Qiangu Dongfeng reflected on the Spirit Pagoda’s growing influence and dismissed the possibility that Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao had attained godhood.
• Qiangu Dongfeng decided to quietly cut ties with the Holy Spirit Cult, then set aside a report about a healing block of ice found after the Heaven Dou Empire branch was attacked.
• Gu Yuena concealed her disgust when Qiangu Zhangting visited, then used purple light to influence him into believing she was devising strategies for him.
• Gu Yuena planned to bring the Myriad Beast Platform gradually to the public and thought of Tang Wulin, while missing Na'er and keeping her loneliness to herself.

The Ghost Emperor dismissed Ha Luosa and Leng Yulai, then prepared to trade Yun Ming’s remaining soul fragment for the Spacetime Shuttle to support the Blood River Great Array. A week later, Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er watched news of Shrek Academy’s reconstruction and Yun Ming’s reappearance, while Yun Ming spoke from Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.

• Ha Luosa told the Ghost Emperor that an unknown expert had defeated him, and the Ghost Emperor let his return pass without punishment.

• Austin Griffin mocked Yun Ming for becoming the fake, but Yun Ming worried about Ya Li and asked to speak with the senior in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.

• Huo Yuhao told Yun Ming that the Spirit Pagoda had worked with the Holy Spirit Cult to bomb Shrek City, but said he would make them pay when the time was right.
• Huo Yuhao left Yun Ming in his Sea of Consciousness to recover and planned to bring him to see someone.
• Yun Ming watched Huo Yuyao's surroundings and saw a city filled with nonhuman races and Soul Beasts, then saw a girl who resembled Na'er.
• Huo Yuhao took the girl's hand, and the vision ended as two figures appeared before Yun Ming; one called him “Godfather.”

Na’er reunited with Yun Ming’s soul and told him about her past, while he repeatedly asked Huo Yuhao to help rebuild Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao refused for now and left with Qiu’er for Heaven Dou City.

• Na’er revealed her identity and history to Yun Ming, who accepted her and urged her not to leave without saying goodbye again.
• Na’er left Yun Ming to recover, and she told Lang Yue that her godfather was still alive.
• Tang Ziran, his wife, and the rescued researchers stayed with Huo Yuhao’s group because they feared retaliation from the Spirit Pagoda.

• Yun Ming watched Ya Li and others announce Shrek Academy’s reconstruction on the Soul Guidance Screen and trusted them to continue without him.
• Huo Yuhao withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness and boarded a Soul Guidance Train with Qiu’er for Heaven Dou City.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er arrived in Heaven Dou City and discussed the Federation Parliament’s factions and the political circumstances surrounding Shrek Academy. After assessing the system’s underlying problems, Huo Yuhao listened as Yun Ming and Austin Griffin argued over whether the parliament was more rational than imperial rule.

• Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er arrived in Heaven Dou City after finding almost no Soul Beasts in the wild along their journey.
• Huo Yuhao told Qiu'er that a faction in the Federation Parliament supporting Shrek Academy had likely acted in Heaven Dou City.
• Yun Ming explained the Federation Parliament’s Hawk, Dove, and Neutral factions, as well as Shrek Academy’s former autonomy and influence.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on Shrek Academy’s relationship with the Federation and concluded that the current parliament had a serious problem.
• Austin Griffin dismissed political struggles as self-destructive, while Yun Ming defended the parliament as more rational than imperial systems; Huo Yuhao judged that both had a point and both were mistaken.

Huo Yuhao explained how the Federation Parliament preserved the power of noble families and sects while leaving ordinary people with little influence. He and Qiu'er arrived in Heaven Dou City to meet Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua, but stopped when they saw a shop selling Yuhao's Grilled Fish.

• Huo Yuhao told Qiu'er and the others that Council Member seats were largely controlled by families and factions, with public participation and concerns mostly ignored.
• A Bao, Yue Ye, and the others compared the Federation Parliament's entrenched power structure with the Demon Race's former hierarchy, which had been dismantled after its move to the Undead Demiplane.
• After learning which faction represented Heaven Dou City, Qiu'er was unsurprised by the Soul Tool transport vehicles heading toward Shrek City.
• Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er entered the still-recovering Heaven Dou City to visit the Blacksmith Association and seek Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua's help with Heavenly Refinement.
• Qiu'er pointed out a shop sign reading Yuhao's Grilled Fish, and Huo Yuhao stopped to look at it with helpless curiosity.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er sampled modern grilled fish before visiting the Blacksmith Association to meet Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua. Mu Ye came down to assess them, while Huo Yuhao still worried about an unresolved matter from her past.

• Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er ate grilled fish, and Huo Yuhao offered to cook it for Qiu'er another time.
• Huo Yuhao reflected that her former love for Tang Wutong had been an illusion and remained uneasy about something she would soon face.
• Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, disguised and without an appointment, asked the Blacksmith Association receptionist to tell Zhen Hua that they had something that might interest him.
• Zhen Hua continued experimenting with Soul Forging after Tang Wulin told him about unusual Soul Forging in the Star Luo Empire.
• Mu Ye went to meet Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er first to guard against another assassination attempt, and recognized no powerful aura from them.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er offered Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua a Universe Creation Pill in exchange for witnessing Heavenly Refinement. After they insisted on starting immediately, Zhen Hua agreed to prepare for a forging session in two hours.

• Huo Yuhao presented a Universe Creation Pill, and Mu Ye judged the payment worthy of bringing the visitors to Zhen Hua.
• Qiu'er gave their cover names as Rui Qiu and Yu Qing while Mu Ye escorted them upstairs.
• Zhen Hua asked whether they wanted anything beyond Heavenly Refinement, and Huo Yuhao confirmed that it was their sole request.
• Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er rejected the suggested wait of one or two weeks and asked to begin at once.
• Zhen Hua agreed to start in two hours, warned that the result might not be perfect, and asked what rare metal and effects they wanted.

Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er watched Zhen Hua complete a Heavenly Refinement, then exchanged the Universe Creation Pill for the successfully refined metal. After they left, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye decided to save the pill for Tang Wulin and wondered where their visitors came from.

• Mu Ye escorted Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er to the rooftop, where Zhen Hua began forging rare metals into an alloy and advanced it through Soul Forging.
• Zhen Hua infused the metal with four kinds of elements, then used his power to protect it as it endured four bolts of Heavenly Tribulation and completed Heavenly Refinement.
• Huo Yuhao recognized the principles behind the process, while Austin Griffin reacted with disgust to an aura and vanished from Yun Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
• Huo Yuhao gave Zhen Hua the Universe Creation Pill, and Qiu'er took the Heavenly Refined metal before the two left.
• Zhen Hua and Mu Ye chose to save the pill for Tang Wulin, then wondered which faction or family Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er belonged to.

Huo Yuhao spent a week repeatedly performing heavenly refinement in the Undead Demiplane, trying to understand a strange feeling he had experienced while watching the process. He forged enough heavenly-refined metal for the Demon Gods’ four-word battle armor, but still could not identify what he was searching for, and entered meditation after completing another piece.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the Undead Demiplane with Qiu'er and began repeatedly performing heavenly refinement, using alchemy arrays to assist the forging while investigating a lingering impression.
• Huo Yuhao gradually learned to incorporate more elements into the metal and gave his heavenly-refined metal to Agares and the others to make their own four-word battle armor.
• Agares, A Bao, Yue Ye, Leng Xiao, and Qiu'er received named sets of four-word battle armor, then helped weaken the heavenly tribulations during Huo Yuhao's forging.
• After a week of nonstop work, Huo Yuhao completed another piece of heavenly-refined metal, prompting the Demon Gods to relax as he set down his hammer.
• Yun Ming noticed that Austin Griffin had not appeared in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness since the heavenly refinement began, while Huo Yuhao entered meditation instead of resting.
