• When Huo Yuhao could not stop either core, he changed their rotational axes instead, tilting them in opposite directions until their energies merged.
• Di Tian confirmed Huo Yuhao had achieved yin-yang complementarity, though Huo Yuhao's angled rotational axes made his dual soul cores distinct.

Di Tian scheduled an experiment in the Star Dou Core Zone three days later, while Huo Yuhao stayed behind and was invited to meet privately with Mu En in the Golden Tree.

Huo Yuhao began the Shared Soul Ring experiment before human and soul beast witnesses, with Huo Qiu'er volunteering to receive one of his soul skills. The chapter ended with her choosing Simulation after reconsidering Spiritual Sharing.

• Human powerhouses and thousands of powerful soul beasts gathered outside the Star Dou Great Forest to witness Huo Yuhao's experiment.

The witnesses celebrated the breakthrough, while Huo Yuhao realized Huo Qiu'er had used his Simulation skill to make the result appear even more powerful.

As the humans and soul beasts parted under Di Tian’s warning, Huo Yuhao began to question whether Huo Qiu’er’s terrifying Golden Dragon Avatar had truly been created by Simulation.

• Huo Yuhao invited volunteers for more shared soul ring experiments, and a peak Soul Douluo with a wind-thunder-fire qilin martial soul offered to take part with his Titled Douluo father.
• Huo Yuhao helped the son share his father’s ninth soul ring, and the experiment succeeded, though the shared ring was only slightly over ten thousand years old and gave no cultivation boost.
• The father and son thanked Huo Yuhao and departed, while human leaders recognized that shared soul rings could spread useful skills and strengthen sects and tournament teams.
• Di Tian ended the gathering, warned humans not to hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Zone, and ordered the soul beasts to withdraw as the humans returned to Shrek City.
• Huo Qiu’er left with Bi Ji, and Huo Yuhao wondered whether the overwhelming golden dragon aura she had displayed could really have been produced by Simulation.

Huo Yuhao expanded shared soul ring experiments and proposed a jointly managed organization and new city where the Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Sun Moon Empires met, openly challenging Shrek’s influence. After leaving Xuan Zi and Du Busi, he planned to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult’s remaining forces in the Dou Ling Empire and argued that shared soul rings would transform society.
