Huo Qiu'er discovered that the Holy Spirit Cult's Myriad Souls Douluo collected the souls of powerful beasts, including a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and recognized her as the Golden Dragon Holy Maiden.

After discovering the remains of hunted Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Di Tian ordered the Star Dou Great Forest to prepare for war with humans. Ye Xishui wounded Scarlet King and disguised her aura as the Bright Phoenix’s, leading Di Tian to blame Shrek Academy and order a Beast Tide against it.

• Di Tian found two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts stripped of their Soul Bones and concluded that humans had hunted them, so he ordered the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts back to the Core Zone.

Di Tian prepared to destroy Shrek City in retaliation for the attack on Scarlet King, while Huo Qiu'er realized the coming beast tide might be manipulated by hidden enemies. She decided to contact Huo Yuhao for help and used the Golden Hawksbill Turtle’s auspicious energy to call for backup.

• Bi Ji healed Scarlet King, who identified the attacker as a female Limit Douluo with a Bright Phoenix martial soul, and Di Tian ordered a beast tide against Shrek City.
• Scarlet King told Di Tian that the Auspicious Beast had left seclusion and nearly been captured by humans, so Di Tian assigned Zi JI to protect Huo Qiu'er.

• Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan led their soul-tool squad into an ambush by the Duke of Splendor’s main army, where Zhao Yang demanded that the Sun Moon Empire allow his father to establish an independent principality.
• Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan dodged the enemy soul engineers’ barrage and reached Zhao Yang, and Ji Juechen killed him with a single sword strike.
• Jing Ziyan announced the emperor’s promise of leniency for those who surrendered, and the rebel army agreed to lay down its weapons.

• Huo Yuhao agreed to travel to the Far North with the Snow Empress, but decided to detour to the Evil Demon Forest first to investigate the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters.

Huo Yuhao returned to the abandoned Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters and discovered that its real facilities remained underground, where he attacked the last evil soul masters. As their leader invoked the Evil Emperor, a terrifying presence awakened deep in the Evil Demon Forest.

• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to discover underground passages where evil soul masters were gathering the last treasures before leaving.
• Huo Yuhao blasted open the ground and attacked the evil soul masters, killing many and stunning their Soul Saint leader with spiritual power.
• The Soul Saint's life-threatening restriction activated, greatly amplifying his spiritual power and driving him into madness.
• Huo Yuhao and the others sensed a terrifying aura awaken in the forest, and the Soul Saint called on Lord Dominator to punish the humans.

Huo Yuhao discovered that the Holy Spirit Cult had used the sacrificed Soul Saint and preserved Evil Eye Tyrant soul origins to awaken the Evil Emperor. As the Evil Emperor attacked with the Light of Time and Space, Huo Yuhao prepared to combine the strength of Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress to stop it.

• The Evil Emperor fired his Light of Time and Space, whose temporal and spatial power interfered with Huo Yuhao's Gate of the Undead.
• Huo Yuhao asked Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress to combine their soul power and spiritual power to block the attack.

Huo Yuhao and the Far North soul beasts combined their powers to repel the Evil Emperor’s Light of Time and Space, but the spiritual clash left Huo Yuhao unconscious and separated from his body. He awoke as a soul in an unfamiliar valley, where a mysterious voice addressed him.

• Huo Yuhao coordinated Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Bajiao as the Evil Emperor’s attack drew near.
• Tian Meng’s spiritual power fused with Huo Yuhao’s and the Ice and Snow Empresses’ powers, allowing the Empresses to counter the Light of Time and Space.
• The Ice Empress and Snow Empress struck back with Emperor’s Palm, Great Cold Without Snow, freezing the Evil Emperor and sending it crashing into the Evil Demon Forest.
• The spiritual backlash left Huo Yuhao and the others in pain, while Tian Meng’s spiritual power returned with a new energy that promised further transformation.
• Electrolux prepared to evacuate the group, but Huo Yuhao fell unconscious and awoke as a soul entity in a flower-filled valley.
• A soft, unfamiliar voice told Huo Yuhao that his location had been difficult to find.

Huo Yuhao met a golden-haired Deity in a secluded valley, where their contrasting approaches to cooking led to a debate about culinary skill and feeding ordinary people. The Deity revealed that Huo Yuhao might qualify to inherit his Divine Position, but the Sea God’s authority over Huo Yuhao’s world limited their meeting.

• A golden-haired youth brought Huo Yuhao through a valley to meet a white-haired elder, who sent the youth to prepare a meal.
• The golden-haired youth carved cucumbers into an elaborate dish called Nine Azure Divine Dragons, Ice-Cloud Concealment, and Huo Yuhao questioned whether the knife-work improved its taste.
• Huo Yuhao borrowed ordinary seasonings and argued that practical cooking could bring delicious food to far more people than elaborate dishes made with rare ingredients.
• The golden-haired youth and Huo Yuhao disagreed about whether culinary artistry or accessible cooking mattered more, then agreed that neither could convince the other.

• The golden-haired youth explained that the Sea God oversaw Huo Yuhao’s world and confirmed that he was more than merely the Sea God.

Rong Nianbing explained the Divine Realm’s hierarchy and its restrictions on godhood to Huo Yuhao, including Tang San’s authority as both Sea God and Asura God. He revealed a possible path for Huo Yuhao to create his own divine position if the Divine Realm expanded, then sent him back with warnings about divine interference.

• Rong Nianbing introduced himself as the God of Emotion and explained that lower-realm humans generally needed a deity to relinquish a divine position and set inheritance trials before they could become gods.
• Huo Yuhao learned that Tang San was one of the Five Great God Kings and, as Asura God and God Realm Enforcer, could obstruct his attempt to inherit a divine position.
• Rong Nianbing told Huo Yuhao that expanding the Divine Realm could let him create a new divine position, possibly connected to ice, the soul, or the mind, but that the Sea God opposed expansion.
• Rong Nianbing explained that the Dragon God’s decree barred Beastfolk from becoming gods after the Dragon God’s war with the Divine Realm, leaving Huo Yuhao to realize that soul beasts’ hopes of eternal life were doomed.
• Rong Nianbing warned Huo Yuhao that deities could not arbitrarily interfere with humans who had not contacted the Divine Realm, but could find a legitimate reason through their family or followers.
• After Huo Yuhao returned to the lower realm, an old man urged Rong Nianbing to pass on his divine position, but Rong Nianbing refused because he did not want to antagonize Tang San and wanted to protect Huo Yuhao.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Huo Qiu'er warned Huo Yuhao that Di Tian planned to unleash a beast tide against Shrek City, while Huo Yuhao learned that the Divine Realm barred soul beasts from becoming gods. Unable to mobilize the Sun Moon army in time, Huo Yuhao accepted the Snow Empress's proposal to answer Star Dou's beast tide with a rebellion in the Far North.

The Snow Empress announced that the Far North would confront Di Tian and the Star Dou Great Forest, citing Tian Meng’s past suffering as grounds to demand an accounting. She summoned the Far North’s soul beasts and began addressing them about the land’s future, while Huo Yuhao accepted responsibility for becoming its Ice God.

• The Snow Empress summoned the Far North’s soul beasts, and Huo Yuhao watched a vast beast tide gather around them.

• The Titan Snow Demon King and a giant ice bear joined the gathering, and the Snow Empress began announcing a momentous matter concerning the Far North’s destiny.

The Snow Empress revealed that the Far North had no Ice God and that soul beasts could never attain godhood, then announced her plan to help Huo Yuhao become a god by gathering powerful soul beasts as his soul rings. Huo Yuhao impressed the Far North’s leaders with his ultimate ice and promised another way to protect them, but the Ghost Shadow Snow Leopard questioned how he would obtain soul rings without their true sacrifice.

• The Snow Empress told the Far North’s soul beasts that no Ice God existed and that the Dragon God’s law barred soul beasts from attaining godhood.

• The Ghost Shadow Snow Leopard asked Huo Yuhao how he intended to obtain their soul rings without their sacrifice.

After rallying the Far North’s beasts and awakening their faith power, Huo Yuhao declared that they would march against the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Huo Yuhao explained that he could halt a sacrifice after obtaining a soul beast’s soul skill, and Electrolux assured the Far North beasts that he could modify the contract safely.

• Xuan Zi summoned his Godly Taotie Bull and demanded to know why Di Tian was leading a Beast Tide; Di Tian replied that Xuan Zi had no right to ask.

• Di Tian accused Shrek’s people of the slaughter, citing the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul’s resemblance to Mu En’s Bright Divine Dragon, and the crowd turned toward Yan Shaozhe.

Di Tian’s demand for Yan Shaozhe’s unknown parents led to the collapse of negotiations and the start of the assault on Shrek City. As the defenders fought the beast tide, the elders recognized Bi Ji among the enemy forces and feared they could not hold out until reinforcements arrived.

• Xuan Zi told Di Tian that Yan Shaozhe’s Bright Phoenix Martial Soul did not prove he was the killer, but Di Tian gave Shrek Academy half an hour to produce the culprit.

• Huo Qiu’er watched the battle from a flying board and spotted Holy Spirit Cult members at Shrek’s East Gate.

Huo Qiu'er watched the Holy Spirit Cult infiltrate Shrek Academy as the Soul Beast Army broke through Shrek City's southern wall and launched its assault. Shrek's defenders counterattacked while Di Tian's seal began to weaken, and the cult members who entered the Sea God Pavilion were destroyed by its golden light.

• Huo Qiu'er spotted Holy Spirit Cult members entering the undefended Shrek Academy and continued watching the battle from afar.

• Di Tian roared as the weakening barrier threatened to break before the three-day seal was complete.

The Holy Spirit Cult’s infiltration triggered the Golden Tree’s defenses, draining the power Mu En and Xuan Zi needed to keep Di Tian sealed. Di Tian broke free and overwhelmed Shrek’s defenders, leaving the city’s fate in his hands as he prepared to strike Yan Shaozhe.
