After three years researching soul armor in Mingdu, Ye Qing resumed his original appearance, assessed the threats he might face, and prepared to break through after reaching rank eighty. He realized the expected exchange program between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had never happened, while Mu En remained alive and retired.

• Ye Qing left the Xishui Alliance, changed back into his original appearance, and reflected on his soul armor research and the dangers posed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
• Ye Qing decided to rest after three years of work and concluded that Mu En had not arranged an exchange program between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Ye Qing sensed that his soul power had reached rank eighty and planned to obtain a soul ring before breaking through.
• Mu En retired after Ye Qing went to the Sun Moon Empire, while Jing Hongchen accepted Xiao Hongchen's loss of the Sword of Judgment as a worthwhile trade for his reputation.

The chapter followed Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao’s advances after the tournament, then showed Ye Qing preparing to hunt a powerful mermaid for his next Soul Ring. It left Ye Qing heading toward the Mermaid Clan with the six-hundred-thousand-year Sea Princess as his target.

• Xiao Hongchen began cultivating with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, aiming to reach Soul Saint and challenge Ye Qing at the next tournament.
• Huo Yuhao became a level-sixty-three Soul Emperor with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s support, left the Tang Sect, and chose to stay with Ning Tian.
• Wang Dong'er reached level sixty-eight, while the other Shrek students’ cultivation progressed at more ordinary rates.
• Ye Qing returned to the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters as Evil Nightmare Douluo and set his sights on the Sea Princess and the Mermaid Clan for his Eighth Soul Ring.

After returning to the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Qing found its members had done nothing to spread Tang San’s name, so he began planning to act himself. He discovered Tang Ya had become a remarkably powerful Evil Soul Master and considered cultivating her into another formidable enforcer.

• Ye Qing returned to the Holy Spirit Cult after three years away and found its members had made no effort to spread the Asura God’s name.
• Ye Qing concluded that Ye Xishui had not interfered with his earlier instructions, while Nether Thunder Douluo had been too intimidated to ask him for guidance.
• Ye Qing visited Zhongli Wu, who was observing Tang Ya after she drank her soup.
• Zhongli Wu praised Tang Ya’s talent, explaining that her Dark Blue Silver King could absorb many kinds of nourishment and had helped her reach a bottleneck at level seventy.
• Ye Qing recognized Tang Ya’s potential as a future powerful enforcer and glanced at Zhongli Wu as he considered how to cultivate her.

Ye Qing persuaded Zhongli Wu that Tang Ya could become the Blue Silver Emperor by absorbing a powerful Blue Silver Emperor’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and encouraged him to help her reach nine rings first. Zhongli Wu rewarded Ye Qing with a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, while Ye Qing revealed that the hidden Blue Silver Emperor was in the Sun Moon Empire.

• Ye Qing told Zhongli Wu that Tang Ya could ascend as Blue Silver Emperor by taking the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor.
• Zhongli Wu agreed that Tang Ya needed to reach nine rings first and would need a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her eighth ring.
• Zhongli Wu gave Ye Qing a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell called the Heavenly Meteor as thanks.
• Ye Qing accepted the weapon and considered using it as a trump card against the Sea Princess Clan.
• Ye Qing assured Zhongli Wu that the Blue Silver Emperor was hidden in the Sun Moon Empire and would be available once Tang Ya reached nine rings.

Ye Qing gave Zhongli Wu the Asura Judgment Codex and used a map to travel toward the Ice Sea with Dong Qianqiu. Zhongli Wu sent nearly the entire Holy Spirit Cult across the continent to slaughter people and spread the Asura God's name.

• Ye Qing handed Zhongli Wu the Asura Judgment Codex, and Zhongli Wu agreed to spread the Holy Emperor's name through the book.

• Zhongli Wu dispatched Feng Ling, the six great elders, and other Evil Soul Masters to slaughter across the continent and spread the Asura God's name.
• Zhang Peng joined several Evil Soul Master offerings in taking action.

The Holy Spirit Cult launched coordinated attacks across the Douluo Continent to spread the Asura God’s name, but instead fueled terror and suspicion that Tang San was behind both the cult and Shrek. Copies of the Asura Judgment Codex spread through bards, while Xu Tianran encouraged the growing conflict to weaken Shrek and advance the Sun Moon Empire’s ambitions.

• The Holy Spirit Cult sent more than three hundred Evil Soul Masters in sixteen teams to stage attacks across the continent, killing relatively few people while spreading panic and the Asura God Ideology.
• The cult spared the Sun Moon Empire from direct killings and had already informed Xu Tianran of its plans after Zhongli Wu became the empire’s imperial preceptor.
• Xu Tianran supported the attacks because he hoped the conflict between Shrek and the Holy Spirit Cult would weaken Shrek and remove an obstacle to the Sun Moon Empire’s unification.
• The Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy were stunned when the cult declared that it worshipped Asura God Tang San, whom people knew as the Sea God who had led Shrek.
• Copies of the Asura Judgment Codex circulated after the attacks, and bards began reading its accusations against Tang San to commoners across the continent.
• Xu Tianran’s agents and the Holy Spirit Cult also sent bards to spread the codex, while others joined to earn money.

Ye Qing’s plan to weaken Tang San’s standing unfolded as the Holy Spirit Cult spread its Asura Judgment Codex and the Sun Moon Empire used it to attack the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Public arguments turned into a cycle of doubt, denunciation, and violence, while the Holy Spirit Cult’s God’s Emissaries secretly killed Tang San’s loyal defenders for cultivation.

• Ye Qing expected distrust of Tang San to grow gradually as the Holy Spirit Cult’s crimes spread, weakening the faith that supported Tang San’s godhood.
• Most people across the Douluo Continent rejected the cult’s claims, but citizens of the Sun Moon Empire embraced the Asura Judgment Codex as ammunition against their enemies.
• Sun Moon keyboard warriors used the codex to mock the Sea God’s followers, and some people of Douluo began questioning whether Tang San was behind the Holy Spirit Cult.
• People who had defended Tang San turned on his remaining loyalists, and wavering believers switched sides while viciously attacking those who stayed faithful.
• The Holy Spirit Cult’s God’s Emissaries secretly murdered steadfast Tang San believers, both eliminating rivals and improving their cultivation.

The Holy Spirit Cult’s attacks devastated the Anti-Tang Warriors and Shrek’s Inner Court, while Mu En gathered Titled Douluo to retaliate. The cult withdrew before they could strike, and the three empires’ rulers quietly hoped Shrek and the cult would weaken each other.

• The Holy Spirit Cult’s night attacks broke the isan Army and gave the Anti-Tang Warriors a major victory.
• Shrek’s Inner Court students and a Soul Douluo teacher suffered heavy casualties while intervening against the cult’s attacks.
• Mu En organized nearly thirty Titled Douluo with the three empires to hunt down the Evil Soul Masters.
• Zhongli Wu withdrew to the Evil Demon Forest, while the cult’s branch altars went into hiding and Mu En’s forces were barred from entering the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Tianran and the three empires’ rulers allowed Shrek and the Holy Spirit Cult to weaken each other, wary of Shrek’s power and influence.

Zhongli Wu reflected on Evil Nightmare Douluo’s strategy and the Holy Spirit Cult’s new standing, then considered how the Demon Soul Bone Shark King suggested its leader had divine backing. Convinced that following Evil Nightmare Douluo could help him break through to Limit Douluo and perhaps become a god, Zhongli Wu resolved to obey his instructions.

• Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult’s elders praised Evil Nightmare Douluo’s strategy for building the cult’s influence without confronting Shrek directly.
• The elders celebrated the Holy Spirit Cult’s chance to operate openly, though most cared more about indulging their desires than spreading Asura God’s faith.
• Zhongli Wu compared the Demon Soul Bone Shark King with his Bone Dragon King and concluded that only a god could have created or empowered it.
• Zhongli Wu became convinced that Evil Nightmare Douluo had a connection to a god and could offer him a path to greater power.
• Zhongli Wu resolved to follow Evil Nightmare Douluo’s instructions in hopes of reaching Limit Douluo and becoming a god.

Ye Qing studied lich refinement while traveling through the Ice Sea and planned to combine it with soul ring inscription to create a new kind of lich. The Sea Princess learned that a powerful stranger was nearby and went to meet him, leaving their encounter ahead.

• Ye Qing chose the Sea Princess as the target for his eighth soul ring and planned to refine her into a lich rather than a berserker puppet.
• Electrolux refused to handle the refinement himself and offered to teach Ye Qing, who spent more than ten days studying the technique.
• Ye Qing proposed that he and Electrolux combine soul ring inscription with magic runes to refine a new kind of lich.
• A mermaid reported to the Sea Princess that a powerful stranger was nearby, searching for something but harming none of the merfolk.
• The Sea Princess decided to personally negotiate with the stranger and ordered the young mermaid to lead the way.

• Ye Qing trapped her in the overlapping Dark Demon Soul-Devouring Domain and Sacred Evil Divine Domain, cutting her off from the ocean and suppressing her strength.

• The Sea Princess’s mental attack took the shape of a deep-blue trident but vanished into Dong Qianqiu without harming her.
• The Sea Princess demanded to know what kind of monster Dong Qianqiu was, and Ye Qing began introducing himself.

Ye Qing and Dong Qianqiu defeated the Sea Princess, and Ye Qing redirected her final attack through Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon Reverse Scale. After waking furious, Gu Yuena checked on the Auspicious Beast and decided to make some arrangements.

• Ye Qing introduced himself and ordered Dong Qianqiu to attack the Sea Princess alongside Demon Soul Devour.
• Dong Qianqiu and Demon Soul Devour overwhelmed the Sea Princess while Ye Qing explained why her spiritual attacks could not harm Dong Qianqiu.
• The Sea Princess unleashed her final Sea Fury Halberd, but Dong Qianqiu struck her down before it could hit Ye Qing.
• Ye Qing used the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale pendant to transfer the Sea Fury Halberd to Gu Yuena, waking her in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Gu Yuena heard from Di Tian that the Auspicious Beast was safe and had not tried to assume human form, then decided to make arrangements.

Ye Qing killed the Sea Princess and entered the Undead Demiplane to absorb her six-hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone. With Electrolux’s help, he destroyed her remnant soul and broke through to the form-and-substance realm of Spiritual Power.

• Ye Qing blocked the Sea Princess’s killing blow with Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, then killed her and took her corpse into the Undead Demiplane with Dong Qianqiu.
• Ye Qing removed the Sea Princess’s six-hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone and began absorbing her Soul Ring.

• The remnant soul’s Spiritual Power nourished Ye Qing’s Sea of Consciousness as he absorbed the Sea Princess’s Soul Bone.
• Ye Qing’s Spiritual Power broke through to form and substance, creating a tangible figure identical to him that picked up and tossed a pebble.

Ye Qing absorbed the Sea Princess’s soul ring and soul bone, reached Level 87, and advanced his spiritual power into the realm of form and substance. After spending six months turning the Mermaid Clan’s remains into a powerful Lich Empress, he left the Ice Sea and headed home, expecting to arrive around Shrek’s next Sea God’s Fate.

• Ye Qing left the Ice Sea for home, calculating that he would arrive around Shrek’s next Sea God’s Fate.

Ye Qing prepared a divine-successor identity for his return to Shrek Academy while Xuan Zi absorbed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid’s medicinal power and broke through to Limit Douluo. Mu En then stepped down as Sea God Pavilion Master, leaving Xuan Zi to lead Shrek.

• Ye Qing asked Electrolux to place a tower-shaped mark on his forehead and decided to present himself as the successor to the God of Sacred Light at Sea God's Fate.

Ye Qing returned to Shrek Academy, where Mu En and Xuan Zi sensed his extraordinary power and noticed the mysterious mark on his brow. After giving Ye Feng a rare Soul Bone, Ye Qing confirmed that Deities existed and named the nine gods he and others were set to inherit, leaving the elders stunned by the revelation.

• Ye Qing greeted Mu En and Xuan Zi, who sensed his strength and examined the tower-shaped mark between his brows.
• Ye Feng came outside, recognized his grandson, and welcomed him while reproaching him for not making contact for several years.
• Ye Qing gave Ye Feng a ninety-seven-thousand-year Earth-Splitting Saber-Toothed Tiger Torso Bone.

• Ye Qing displayed the mark between his brows and claimed it signified an inheritance from the Prison Deities, persuading Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Ye Feng that he had received a Divine Trial.
• Mu En asked Xuan Zi and Ye Feng to keep Ye Qing’s Divine Trial secret, and they agreed.
• Ye Qing argued that he could not hide the mark because it also contained the God of Sacred Light’s divine artifact, which could protect him but remained unusable until he completed the Seventh Trial.
• Ye Qing gave Mu En a ninety-thousand-year Spirit-Type Crystal Wisdom Skull, and Mu En accepted it for Bei Bei.
• Ye Qing revealed that he had also spared the Sea Princess’s daughters, Lijing and Liya, and planned their Soul Rings and Soul Bones for Xu Jiujiu and Zhang Lexuan.

Ye Feng prepared to absorb the Earth-Splitting Saber-Toothed Tiger Soul Bone while Mu En and Ye Qing shared tea that might help Mu En’s damaged soul. Mu En stepped down as Sea God Pavilion Master and invited Ye Qing to join the Sea God Pavilion, and Ye Qing accepted.

Zhang Lexuan reached level eighty-six, while news of Ye Qing’s return spread through Shrek Academy and Wang Dong resolved to meet him as her true self.

• Ye Qing gave Zhang Lexuan Liya’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Left Arm Bone instead of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle’s, and she began absorbing the ring.
