Mu En revealed that he had seen through Ye Xishui’s schemes and knowingly let her separate him and Long Xiaoyao. Ye Xishui blamed the plan on the dead Old Ghost Zhongli, leaving Mu En unable to prove whether her explanation was true.

• Ye Xishui accused Mu En of abandoning her, and Mu En explained that he had recognized her staged betrayal and attempted suicide.
• Mu En said he had believed Ye Xishui truly loved Long Xiaoyao and had let events unfold to give them a chance at happiness.
• Long Xiaoyao realized Ye Xishui had planned to control him and ensnare Mu En, while Ye Xishui claimed Old Ghost Zhongli had ordered her to divide them.
• Ye Xishui insisted she had acted to protect Mu En and Long Xiaoyao from the Holy Spirit Cult, but Mu En challenged her claim that Zhongli would have killed them.
• Ye Xishui demanded that Mu En kill her rather than keep questioning her, using Zhongli’s death to make her account difficult to disprove.

Chen Ping recognized that Ye Xishui’s story about Old Ghost Zhongli was impossible because Zhongli had been trapped in Qiankun Asking Love Valley at the time. Ye Xishui continued trying to win Long Xiaoyao’s sympathy, but Mu En exposed another contradiction, leaving her lies in tatters.

• Chen Ping compared Ye Xishui’s timeline with Old Ghost Zhongli’s imprisonment and realized her account could not be true.
• Ye Xishui claimed Zhongli had forced her to bear his son and that she had kept Long Xiaoyao at her side to protect his reputation.

• Mu En challenged Ye Xishui, explaining that Zhongli had already been trapped in Qiankun Asking Love Valley for over eighty years when she and Mu En were young.
• Ye Xishui was shaken as Mu En’s evidence dismantled her fabricated story.

Ye Xishui confessed that she had manipulated Long Xiaoyao and deceived both him and Mu En, leaving Long Xiaoyao devastated by the truth.

• Long Xiaoyao intercepted the beam and was erased, apologizing to Mu En as he died to give Ye Xishui a chance to escape.
• Ye Xishui and the Holy Spirit Cult's powerhouses fled, and Mu En told Chen Ping that Ye Xishui would be left for him to deal with.

Mu En explained that he could not leave Shrek City because his bond with the Golden Ancient Tree was keeping it from awakening and threatening the continent. Chen Ping learned that Ye Xishui escaped because Mu En could not risk the tree’s awakening and her Bright Phoenix Nirvana let her survive.

• Mu En pointed out Long Xiaoyao’s fallen Soul Bones and told Chen Ping that he could not leave Shrek City.
• Mu En explained that the Golden Ancient Tree was preparing to awaken after sensing his new third Soul Core, and that its awakening could bring catastrophe to the continent.
• Mu En revealed that he was keeping the tree dormant by making it believe he was preparing to return to it, while his Soul Power recovered faster than the tree could consume it.
• Mu En said that he could not pursue Ye Xishui without risking the Golden Ancient Tree’s awakening and showed Chen Ping the Bright Phoenix Feather that marked her use of Nirvana.
• Chen Ping understood that Long Xiaoyao’s sacrifice and Ye Xishui’s Bright Phoenix Nirvana had allowed her to escape.

Chen Ping reflected on the danger Ye Xishui and Hai Wuliang still posed and resolved to grow strong enough to stop them. With Mu En stationed at Shrek, Zhang Peng sought to defect to the Academy, while Mu En praised Chen Ping’s achievements and teased him about succeeding as Pavilion Master.

• Chen Ping worried that Ye Xishui and Hai Wuliang could still threaten the continent and resolved to become powerful enough to oppose them.
• Zhang Peng asked whether Chen Ping’s offer still stood, and Chen Ping welcomed his move to Shrek.
• Mu En thanked Shi Xing for holding off the Sea Emperor Douluo and sent him to finish clearing the battlefield before attending the meeting.
• Chen Ping joked that he would usurp Mu En’s position, and Mu En told him that becoming Pavilion Master after his death would be succession, not usurpation.
• Mu En reflected that Chen Ping’s fame would grow after word spread that he had slain the Level 98 Sea Dragon Douluo and the Level 99 Dragon Emperor Douluo.

After learning how Chen Ping’s achievements had transformed Shrek during his seclusion, Mu En struggled to believe the reports but recognized how every event had strengthened the Academy. The chapter ended with Hai Wuliang fleeing across the sea, bitterly vowing that the Sea God Family’s enemies would face divine wrath.

• Mu En heard reports from Chen Ping, Xuan Zi, and others about the war, the beast tide, and Shrek’s recent gains.
• Mu En traced how Chen Ping’s actions had connected and strengthened Shrek’s defenses, alliances, and fighters.
• Mu En accepted that the reports were true and realized Chen Ping’s influence and cultivation had surpassed anything he had expected.
• Mu En met Shrek’s younger generation, including Zhang Lexuan, and recognized their contributions to the fight against the evil soul masters.
• Hai Wuliang raced across the sea with the cracked Sea God Helmet and vowed that the Sea God Family’s enemies would face divine wrath.

After the Sea God Family’s defeat, Hai Wuliang vowed to report Shrek Academy’s strength to the Sea God and rely on his hidden arrangements. At Shrek, Chen Ping decided to enter the Divine Realm to obtain immortal spirit qi and unlock the Death God Tower’s full power.

• Hai Wuliang ordered the Sea God Family’s Consecrated Elders to prepare sacrificial materials so he could report the battle to Lord Sea God.
• Hai Wuliang struck the Fourth Consecrated Elder for suggesting caution and claimed the Sea God had left arrangements across the Douluo Continent, including ties to the Clear Sky Sect.
• Huo Yuhao found Chen Ping contemplating the Death God Tower and asked whether he was thinking about Long Xiaoyao.
• Chen Ping told Huo Yuhao he planned to travel to the Divine Realm through the passages connected to Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
• Chen Ping explained that he needed immortal spirit qi to activate the Death God Tower without limit and help defend against Ye Xishui, the returning Sea Emperor Douluo, and the Clear Sky Sect.

Chen Ping decided to enter the Divine Realm alone to gather Immortal Spirit Qi and limit Tang San’s influence, while preparing to seek Di Tian’s knowledge of the realm. Meanwhile, Ye Xishui attacked Skystar City and began slaughtering its inhabitants to heal herself and gain divine favor.

• Chen Ping refused Huo Yuhao’s offer to accompany him to the Divine Realm, explaining that he would go alone and could seek help from Ning Rongrong or Ma Hongjun if necessary.
• Chen Ping told Huo Yuhao that Elder Yi was preparing to open a rift to the Divine Realm and that he would visit Di Tian in Star Dou Forest for information.
• After waking on Zhongli Wu’s back near Skystar City, Ye Xishui demanded revenge and announced that she would use the city’s residents to heal her wounds.
• Ye Xishui broke through Skystar City’s defensive shield with her Blood Soul Demon Claw and ordered the Holy Spirit Cult to kill everyone in the city.
• Ye Xishui crushed buildings, absorbed the rising souls, and began recovering as Skystar City’s people screamed in terror.

Chen Ping returned to the Qiankun Asking Love Valley determined to enter the Divine Realm and stop Ye Xishui, despite Di Tian warning him of the danger. After preparing a cautious probe mission, he opened a tiny portal and sent a satellite probe into the Divine Realm.

• Chen Ping revealed the true appearance of the Qiankun Asking Love Valley and recalled his argument with Di Tian about risking a trip to the Divine Realm.
• Chen Ping remained determined to save lives, gain the Immortal Spirit Qi needed to power the Death God Tower, and prepare for the threat of Tang San.
• Di Tian accepted Chen Ping’s resolve, shared what he knew about the Divine Realm, and let him leave the Star Dou Forest.
• Chen Ping used lunar landing technology as a model and prepared a Level 9 Floating Satellite Probe and an Eight-Legged All-Terrain Rover made by Mo Fang and Xuan Ziwen.
• Chen Ping opened a tiny portal to the Divine Realm and sent the Floating Satellite Probe through it.

Chen Ping discovered that the Divine Realm destroyed his probes through immense, continuous pressure rather than a god directly attacking them. His sturdier probe transmitted images identifying its landing place as the Divine Beast Forest before it came under further attack.

• Chen Ping saw his first satellite probe’s modules fail one by one and realized it had been crushed gradually rather than instantly destroyed by a powerful being.
• Chen Ping sent his remaining Octopus Eight-Legged Soul Tool Probe Vehicle into the Divine Realm, where it survived long enough to transmit images and a diagnostic report.
• Chen Ping examined the first image and saw dark soil, leaves, metal fragments, and the crushed remains of his satellite probe.
• Chen Ping examined the second image and recognized the dense forest as the Divine Beast Forest.
• Chen Ping recalled the Divine Beast Forest’s powerful population, including more than a hundred beings considered divine beasts, and considered what their presence meant.

Chen Ping analyzed probe data showing that the Divine Realm had immense atmospheric pressure and that its concentrated essence required a sealed, high-pressure environment. After a probe returned and exploded, confirming his theory and the landing site in the Divine Beast Forest, Chen Ping decided to enter the Divine Realm himself.

• Chen Ping reviewed the probes’ readings and found extreme pressure, unknown atmospheric components, and signs of damage to the vehicles.
• Electrolux explained that the Divine Realm’s essence likely required a sealed, high-pressure environment and that this pressure had damaged the probes.
• Chen Ping activated a probe’s return device, and the vehicle emerged from the spatial rift before exploding and sharply increasing the surrounding essence concentration.
• Chen Ping concluded that the Divine Beast Forest was the landing site and that the probes had provided valuable environmental data.
• Chen Ping decided to enter the Divine Realm himself because Shrek lacked better equipment for further exploration.

Chen Ping entered the Divine Realm through a Spatial Portal and discovered its immense pressure and rich immortal spirit qi rapidly increased his cultivation. He realized that the Divine Realm's accelerated time meant even brief cultivation could cost decades in the mortal world.

• Electrolux offered to block one attack for Chen Ping, and Chen Ping accepted his support.
• Chen Ping entered the Divine Realm through the Spatial Portal with Red Dust Protection shielding him.
• Chen Ping explored the enormous, dim forest and deactivated Red Dust Protection, exposing himself to overwhelming pressure and gravity.
• Chen Ping absorbed the Divine Realm's abundant immortal spirit qi, and his cultivation quickly advanced.
• Chen Ping realized that time passed over three hundred times faster in the Divine Realm, making a month of cultivation cost thirty years in the mortal world.

Chen Ping opened a spatial portal to the Divine Realm and tried to bring its Immortal Spirit Qi back to the Qiankun Asking Love Valley. After the transfer damaged a mountain and threatened to dilute the Qi, he devised a way to store it beneath the valley’s divine-power lake.

• Chen Ping realized that time in the Divine Realm was limited, climbed a giant tree, and opened a spatial portal.
• Chen Ping briefly released the portal’s spatial barrier, causing a torrent of Immortal Spirit Qi to surge toward it before he sealed it again.
• Electrolux warned Chen Ping that the Immortal Spirit Qi had blasted away half a mountain in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
• Chen Ping considered how to transport the Qi without letting it explode or become diluted in a lower-density environment.
• Chen Ping reopened the portal and proposed sending the Immortal Spirit Qi beneath the lake in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, where a natural barrier could contain it.

Chen Ping explored the Divine Beast Forest, gathering samples and searching for Divine Realm ores while using divine sense to hide from powerful beings. He accidentally stepped on the face of the God of the Mire, who recognized the scent of pureblood dragons on him.

• Chen Ping used divine sense power to conceal himself as he collected samples and searched the forest for unique minerals.
• Chen Ping avoided a powerful tree spirit and rock giant, then found a misty lake surrounded by mire and a stone pillar topped with a castle-like structure.
• Chen Ping tested the mire beneath his feet and searched it for metal ores, believing he could withdraw after gathering enough immortal spiritual energy.
• A voice beneath Chen Ping said he was stepping on its face and recognized the scent of pureblood dragons on him.
• The mire erupted into a ten-meter giant, and Chen Ping realized he had encountered the ancient God of the Mire, a being with strength comparable to a Second-Level God.

Chen Ping hid inside the God of the Mire as Tang San arrived in the Divine Beast Forest and used his power to manipulate the ancient divine beast. Tang San left after ordering the God of the Mire to attack anyone entering his territory, while Chen Ping realized Tang San was setting up a scheme to seize control of the Divine Realm from the God of Destruction.

• The God of the Mire woke after Chen Ping stepped on his face and asked him for mud from other places to taste.
• When the God of the Mire sensed someone approaching, he swallowed Chen Ping, and Tang San arrived in his Asura God state.
• Tang San accused the God of the Mire of disturbing the immortal spiritual energy in the Divine Beast Forest, while Chen Ping secretly shut off the channel feeding energy to the Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
• Tang San used a beam of red light to weaken the God of the Mire and questioned him under divine control.
• Tang San made the God of the Mire remember a false account and ordered him to destroy anyone who entered his territory.
• After Tang San vanished, Chen Ping realized he had been laying plans to discredit the God of Destruction and take control of the Divine Realm.

Chen Ping used his divine sense to remove Tang San’s crude mind distortion from the God of the Mire, who realized Tang San was plotting against the Divine Beast Forest. The God of the Mire thanked Chen Ping and became his friend, giving him a powerful ally in the Divine Realm.

• Chen Ping carefully examined the destructive intent clouding the God of the Mire’s mind and found that Tang San had crudely fastened it over his consciousness.
• Chen Ping severed the links between the destructive intent and the God of the Mire’s divine sense, freeing the God of the Mire from the distortion.
• The God of the Mire regained his memories, realized Tang San might target the other divine beasts, and blew Chen Ping out of his mouth.
• The God of the Mire thanked Chen Ping for helping him and the Divine Beast Forest avoid Tang San’s conspiracy.
• Chen Ping told the God of the Mire they were friends, and the God of the Mire promised to treat Chen Ping’s business as his own.

Chen Ping returned from the Divine Realm to Qiankun Asking Love Valley, broke through to level eighty-one, and prepared to check on the Douluo Continent. Meanwhile, Tang San confronted a Thunder Dragon in the Divine Beast Forest and planned to frame the God of Destruction, but a call from the Lower Realm interrupted him.

• Chen Ping gave the God of the Mire a Recording Pearl to expose Tang San and a Black Dragon Reverse Scale to deliver to the Thunder Dragon elder once the divine beasts recovered.
• Chen Ping left the Divine Realm and returned to Qiankun Asking Love Valley, where the shift in spiritual energy pushed his cultivation to level eighty-one.
• Chen Ping decided to find out what had happened on the Douluo Continent and to prioritize supplying energy to the Death God Tower.
• Tang San endured the Thunder Dragon's lightning attacks and told it that the God of Destruction, not Asura, had attacked the Divine Beast Forest.
• Tang San saw the Thunder Dragon as evidence he could use to frame the God of Destruction, but then felt his Sea God Divine Power respond to a call from the Lower Realm.

Tang San learned that Chen Ping had killed a Level 98 Sea God Family worshiper and, alarmed by Chen Ping’s strength, resolved to kill him at any cost. Hai Wuliang received no immediate help, and Tang San’s fear of losing control over the Douluo Continent deepened.

• Tang San delayed responding to Hai Wuliang while he dealt with the divine beasts in the Divine Beast Forest.
• Hai Wuliang reported Shrek Academy’s strength and blamed Chen Ping for killing the Sea God Family’s Second Worship.
• Tang San recognized Chen Ping’s unusual soul-ring configuration and added him to his must-kill list.
• Hai Wuliang revealed that Chen Ping had instantly killed a Level 98 Super Douluo with eight-ring cultivation.
• Tang San asked Hai Wuliang what he needed and decided Chen Ping had to die, whatever the cost.

Chen Ping surveyed Skystar City after Ye Xishui and the Holy Spirit Cult slaughtered its million inhabitants, and recalled Kong Deming's decision not to attack them. Kong defended his choice to the bereaved survivors before returning to Mingdu, leaving the people furious and the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult unresolved.

• Chen Ping looked over Skystar City, where soldiers searched for survivors and prepared to burn the remains after the massacre.
• Kong Deming arrived with the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield but backed down when Ye Xishui, Zhongli Wu, Feng Ling, and the other Holy Spirit Cult experts surrounded him.
• Chen Ping recalled Kong Deming's words, “Let the people suffer; I'll bear the blame,” and the empire's attempt to suppress discussion of the massacre.
• Bereaved commoners cursed Kong Deming for letting the Holy Spirit Cult leave, while guards pushed the crowd back.
• Kong Deming told the survivors that attacking the cult could bring greater destruction, then flew toward the imperial capital and vowed to use Mingdu's Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells if the cult threatened it.

Chen Ping realized Ye Xishui had led the Holy Spirit Cult into the Evil Demon Forest to exploit the Sun Moon Empire’s ongoing war and massacre more cities without interference. He remained in the forest to cultivate with Immortal Spirit Qi as his power continued to grow.

• Chen Ping concluded that the Holy Spirit Cult had reconciled with the Evil Emperor and gained shelter in the Evil Demon Forest.
• Chen Ping judged that the Sun Moon Empire’s war against the Three Great Empires would prevent it from stopping the Holy Spirit Cult from slaughtering more cities.
• Chen Ping recognized Ye Xishui’s plan to use the war’s stalemate to let the Holy Spirit Cult grow stronger through mass killings.
• Chen Ping cultivated Immortal Spirit Qi in a cave, drawing Soul Beasts toward him as his aura grew stronger.

Chen Ping reached Level 90 after three days of cultivation, opened all Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and began hunting the Holy Spirit Cult in the Evil Demon Forest. He killed Blood God Douluo and continued searching for the remaining targets, including Ye Xishui.

• Chen Ping's Soul Power rose from Level 81 to Level 90, and Immortal Spirit Qi opened his Ren and Du Meridians.
• Chen Ping ended his secluded cultivation and turned his attention to the Holy Spirit Cult members in the Evil Demon Forest.
• Blood God Douluo cultivated in a hollow tree using Blood Essence taken from human blood, expecting to reach Level 94 soon.
• Chen Ping found Blood God Douluo and erased him, his blood pool, and the thousand-year-old tree with a Spatial Power attack.
• Chen Ping counted thirteen more targets, fourteen including Ye Xishui, and expanded his Divine Sense scan across the Evil Demon Forest.

Chen Ping used the Death God Tower to kill Holy Spirit Cult experts throughout the Evil Demon Forest, prompting Zhongli Wu to fear that Mu En had launched a one-man assault. Ye Xishui stayed in seclusion to heal with Commoners' Blood Dew, hoping to join forces with the Evil Emperor against Mu En.

• Chen Ping searched the Evil Demon Forest with Divine Sense and killed hidden Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo with Death God's Light.
• Zhongli Wu sensed the deaths of several Holy Spirit Cult Elders and gathered the remaining Evil Soul Masters in the Core Zone, believing Mu En had come to kill them.
• The Evil Emperor had sheltered the Holy Spirit Cult because he needed help surviving his coming eight-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.
• Ye Xishui offered the Evil Emperor Commoners' Blood Dew, made from the life force of Skystar City's inhabitants, in exchange for his protection and cooperation.
• Ye Xishui continued refining Commoners' Blood Dew in seclusion, planning to heal herself before joining forces with the Evil Emperor against Mu En.

Chen Ping entered the Evil Demon Forest and exploited the Holy Spirit Cult’s mistaken belief that Mu En was nearby to challenge its ten Evil Soul Title Douluos to fight him one at a time. Zhongli Wu considered accepting, hoping the duels would buy Ye Xishui time to emerge from seclusion.

• Feng Ling returned to Zhongli Wu without finding Ye Xishui or the Evil Emperor, and Zhongli Wu told the Holy Spirit Cult experts that Ye Xishui would soon emerge to help defeat Mu En.
• Chen Ping overheard the gathered Evil Soul Masters and realized they believed Mu En had entered the Evil Demon Forest.
• Chen Ping emerged from the shadows and told his teacher to leave the ten opponents to him while the teacher dealt with Ye Xishui later.
• Zhongli Wu and the other Holy Spirit Cult members searched for Mu En but could not locate him, interpreting Chen Ping’s confidence as proof that Mu En was hiding nearby.
• Chen Ping challenged all ten Evil Soul Title Douluos to fight him one at a time, and Zhongli Wu considered accepting to delay for Ye Xishui.

Chen Ping accepted Zhongli Wu’s challenge to fight ten Holy Spirit Cult experts one at a time, while the cult members mistook Mu En’s presence for protection behind him. Chen Ping killed the first challenger, the Super Douluo Wu Yun, in a few breaths and found no soul bones on his body.

• Zhongli Wu proposed ten sequential fights and promised to let Chen Ping and his master leave if Chen Ping lost.
• Chen Ping agreed, planning to use the fights to reduce the scattered Holy Spirit Cult forces.
• Zhongli Wu sent Wu Yun, a Super Douluo who wielded darkness, to face Chen Ping first.
• Chen Ping unleashed a flash of white light and killed Wu Yun almost instantly.
• Chen Ping checked Wu Yun’s body with the Living Being Carving Knife and found no soul bones.

Chen Ping killed Wu Yun almost instantly, shocking the Holy Spirit Cult with his apparent rise to Quasi-Titled Douluo cultivation. Zhongli Wu sent Nether Thunder Douluo to face him next, hoping to learn how Chen Ping attacked.

• Zhongli Wu's plan for Wu Yun to wear down Chen Ping failed when Chen Ping killed him in the black mist and annihilated his soul.
• The Holy Spirit Cult's experts sensed Chen Ping's Level 90 cultivation and were stunned by how quickly he had advanced.
• Chen Ping rejected Wu Yun's dark-attribute soul core, destroyed his body with a black-and-gold vortex, and declared Wu Yun the first opponent.
• Zhongli Wu sent Nether Thunder Douluo to confront Chen Ping and investigate his attack.
• Nether Thunder Douluo approached Chen Ping, troubled by how dramatically Chen Ping had surpassed him in only a few years.
