After Ma Xiaotao's defeat, Huo Yuhao vanished as his two soul cores began clashing inside his Sea of Consciousness. With Di Tian's guidance, Huo Yuhao found an unconventional way to stabilize them, leaving his soul cores in a new form of yin-yang complementarity.

• After Ma Xiaotao fell, Huo Yuhao disappeared, and the energies of his two soul cores began clashing inside his Sea of Consciousness.
• The Snow Empress asked Electrolux to stabilize Huo Yuhao and bring Di Tian to help, and Di Tian entered the Sea of Consciousness through the Gate of the Undead.
• Di Tian explained that yin-yang complementary dual soul cores required one core to rotate in reverse, and Huo Yuhao began trying his method.
• 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.

After forming chaos-balanced dual soul cores and reaching level eighty, Huo Yuhao joined Di Tian in ending the beast tide and purifying the Bone Dragon King. He promised to develop shared soul ring technology, and Di Tian offered the Soul Beast Clan’s friendship if he succeeded, while Huo Yuhao left their conversation with a bold comparison between humans and locusts.

• Huo Yuhao recovered from forming dual soul cores, reached level eighty, and followed Di Tian out of the Gate of the Undead.

• Di Tian praised Huo Yuhao and offered the Soul Beast Clan’s friendship if he developed an alternative to soul rings.
• Huo Yuhao agreed that humans were weak and numerous like locusts, but declared that locusts deserved to be crowned emperors of insects.

After the beast tide ended, Shrek’s leaders confronted the destruction caused by Ma Xiaotao’s rampage and mourned the losses of Ma Xiaotao and the missing Ye Guyi. Mu En urged Xuan Zi to rebuild around the surviving Golden Tree, but Beast God Di Tian appeared over Shrek City as the chapter ended.

• Du Busi and the reinforcements reached Shrek City after the beast tide had retreated and found much of the city in ruins.
• Elder Song explained that corrupted Ma Xiaotao had devastated Shrek Academy, was executed after Ye Guyi and Wang Dong'er restrained her, and that Ye Guyi had disappeared.

• Du Busi met Xuan Zi and Mu En, denied intending to plunder Shrek, and warned that other forces might target the academy.
• Mu En told Xuan Zi that Shrek could endure as long as the Golden Tree remained, then withdrew into the tree.
• Beast God Di Tian appeared in the sky above Shrek City, and Du Busi and Xuan Zi looked up in alarm.

After the battle, Di Tian and Bi Ji renewed the peace talks with Shrek and heard Huo Yuhao’s proposal for soul rings that could be passed between soul masters instead of requiring soul-beast hunts. 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.

• Xuan Zi and Du Busi confronted Di Tian, who arrived with Bi Ji, Huo Yuhao, and Huo Qiu'er, and Bi Ji offered to renew the pact between Star Dou and humanity.

• Huo Yuhao revealed his starry seventh soul ring and proposed testing a high-pressure training method, while Huo Qiu'er volunteered as the first test subject.
• Di Tian set the experiment for three days later in the Star Dou Core Zone and departed with Bi Ji and Huo Qiu'er, while Huo Yuhao remained in Shrek to confirm several things.
• Huo Yuhao surveyed ruined Shrek City, then Xuan Zi received Mu En's request to bring Huo Yuhao to the Sea God Pavilion for a private conversation.

Huo Yuhao entered the Golden Tree beneath the Sea God Pavilion, where Mu En thanked him and explained the tree’s history. Electrolux discovered that the Golden Tree shared an origin with both Tang San’s light and Wang Dong’er’s, and Huo Yuhao agreed to let him use it to conceal his aura from the deity.

• Huo Yuhao sensed the Golden Tree’s powerful life and light energies and recognized that its light resembled Wang Dong’er’s Light Goddess Butterfly.
• Mu En appeared before Huo Yuhao, identified himself as Dragon God Douluo, and thanked him for saving Shrek and humanity.
• Mu En explained that Tang San had transplanted the Golden Tree to Sea God Island and that it formed the foundation of Shrek Academy.
• Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao that the Golden Tree itself might possess a powerful aura and revealed its light shared an origin with Tang San’s and matched Wang Dong’er’s.
• Electrolux proposed using the Golden Tree’s light to conceal his aura and act without being easily detected by the deity, and Huo Yuhao agreed.

After nearly dying in the beast tide, Wang Dong'er confronted Tang Wutong in her Sea of Consciousness as Tang Wutong's father arrived, then awoke in the Sea God Pavilion with a gap in her memory. A Gold Soul Coin reminded her of Huo Yuhao, and its heads result left her trembling.

• Wang Dong'er awoke in her Sea of Consciousness and learned from Tang Wutong that she was considered a fake occupying Tang Wutong's body.
• Tang Wutong awaited her father, while Wang Dong'er feared disappearing but resolved to stay for her friends before an aged voice called to her.
• Wang Dong'er awoke in the Sea God Pavilion, where Zhang Lexuan recognized her as Wang Dong'er and explained that the beast tide had ended and Shrek City was safe.
• Wang Dong'er asked about Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan told her that Guyi was recovering and Xiaotao had been sealed again.
• Wang Dong'er found herself thinking of Huo Yuhao as she flipped a Gold Soul Coin, then saw that it had landed heads and trembled with emotion.

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.
• Huo Yuhao arrived through the Gate of the Undead with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, then explained how he could control the transfer of soul power and preserve a soul beast during a voluntary sacrifice.
• Di Tian escorted Huo Qiu'er forward, while Xuan Zi and Du Busi discussed whether she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form.
• Huo Qiu'er volunteered to receive Huo Yuhao's seventh soul ring and first chose Spiritual Sharing.
• The Ice Empress warned that Huo Qiu'er might receive one of Tian Meng's less useful soul skills, so Huo Qiu'er changed her choice to Simulation.

Huo Yuhao tested whether a Soul Master could share a Soul Ring with Huo Qiu'er, and the experiment succeeded, producing a golden dragon Martial Soul Avatar. 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.

• Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Power and Soul Power to help Huo Qiu'er form a seventh Soul Ring, and the spectators recognized the process as Soul Ring absorption.

• Huo Qiu'er activated her seventh Soul Ring and summoned an immense golden dragon whose pressure stunned the human and Soul Beast witnesses.
• Huo Qiu'er confirmed that the experiment had succeeded, prompting both camps to celebrate the prospect of easing the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao questioned the Golden Dragon's power, and Huo Qiu'er revealed that his Simulation skill had helped produce the convincing display.

Huo Yuhao successfully tested shared soul rings with a father and son, demonstrating that a soul skill could be shared even though its ring age and cultivation boost were not. 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.

• Huo Yuhao oversaw dozens of successful shared soul ring experiments among Shrek Academy students and reviewed the results with Du Busi and Xuan Zi.
• Huo Yuhao announced plans to recruit mental attribute soul masters and establish a shared soul ring organization in a new city jointly built by the three empires.
• Xuan Zi condemned Huo Yuhao’s plan as aid to the Sun Moon Empire, while Du Busi supported the proposal and said he would discuss it with Heaven Dou’s emperor.
• Huo Yuhao left through the Gate of the Undead, and Du Busi departed after refusing to let Xuan Zi interfere in Heaven Dou’s affairs.
• Huo Yuhao planted the Myriad Souls Banner in the Undead Demiplane and said he would hunt down the Holy Spirit Cult’s remaining members in the Dou Ling Empire.
• Huo Yuhao told Tianmeng and the Ice Empress that shared soul rings would become commodities and change both the soul master system and society.

Ye Guyi attacked a Holy Spirit Cult hideout where abducted children were being held, and Huo Yuhao arrived after eliminating the cult’s remaining bases in the Dou Ling Empire. Huo Yuhao decided to raise the children born with evil Martial Souls as ordinary Soul Masters, and accepted Ye Guyi’s claim that he was a hero.

• Gray-robed Holy Spirit Cult members held abducted children in an abandoned village near the Dou Ling Empire’s border, and the boy endured a beating without showing fear.
• Ye Guyi attacked the hideout with her Holy Angel Martial Soul, killing two Evil Soul Masters, but hesitated to strike at the children and let two others escape.
• Huo Yuhao arrived, killed the fleeing Evil Soul Masters, and told Ye Guyi he had cleared the Holy Spirit Cult’s last two bases in the Dou Ling Empire.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the children had been born with evil Martial Souls, then used his Spiritual Power to put the awake children to sleep.
• Huo Yuhao promised to take the children to the Sun Moon Empire and educate them as ordinary Soul Masters so they would never become Evil Soul Masters.
• Ye Guyi called Huo Yuhao a hero, and he agreed, saying, “Fuck it. I’m a hero.”

Huo Yuhao arranged for the rescued children to be returned to their families and planned to bring the orphans to a new academy, hoping to guide them away from becoming evil soul masters. After discussing their future with Electrolux, he traveled through the Gate of the Undead to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Ye Guyi told Huo Yuhao she had left Shrek and discovered the Holy Spirit Cult's plot while following the aura of evil soul masters.
• Huo Yuhao planned to return the children to their parents and recruit them into a new academy, while Ye Guyi revealed that many of their parents had been killed.
• Dou Ling guards collected the sleeping children, and Huo Yuhao recorded their names as some parents reclaimed their children and most awaited investigation.

• Electrolux explained that the children might become evil soul masters without guidance, and Huo Yuhao said he would intervene if they showed signs of turning evil.
• Huo Yuhao discussed teaching the children basic Undead Magic and shared soul ring pacts, then reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well through the Gate of the Undead.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and proposed bringing people there to cultivate, promising the immortal herbs that no one would take more resources than the well could sustain. He then began summoning the Dragon Lords to discuss his second matter.

• Huo Yuhao noticed that the jade phosphorus poison mist had receded and wondered whether it or human hunting had caused the Sunset Forest's dwindling soul-beast population.
• The immortal herbs panicked when Huo Yuhao arrived, and Youyou cautiously asked what he wanted.
• Huo Yuhao told Youyou he planned to bring people to cultivate in the spring water, and she objected out of fear that outsiders would covet the herbs and the well's resources.
• Huo Yuhao promised that the immortal herbs could oversee visitors and that anything taken would remain within what the well could bear.
• Huo Yuhao began summoning the Dragon Lords, making the spring water churn as Youyou watched in awe.

Huo Yuhao tried to absorb a portion of the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul as his eighth ice soul ring, plunging into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring to connect with it. He was drawn into a vision of the Divine Realm at war and realized the images might be memories from the Ice Dragon King.

• Huo Yuhao reassured Youyou that taking a small portion of the Ice Dragon King's power would not harm the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao of the risks, and the Ice Dragon King descended toward him.
• Huo Yuhao plunged into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring as the Ice Dragon King followed him beneath the surface.
• Huo Yuhao's two soul cores began spinning rapidly, creating a vortex while he tried to sense the Ice Dragon King.
• Huo Yuhao found himself in a vision of the Divine Realm amid explosions and dragon cries, then asked the unseen Ice Dragon King if it was a memory.

Huo Yuhao witnessed the Water Dragon King’s memories of the Dragon God’s rampage and the Dragon Kings’ desperate attempt to stop him. He emerged from the Cold Spring with greatly strengthened Ice powers and a new blue eighth soul ring, while unresolved questions about the God Star remained.

• Huo Yuhao watched the Dragon God go berserk and kill several Dragon Kings and other powerful beings.
• The surviving Dragon Kings refused to harm their Master, while the Asura God and others considered stopping the Dragon God to save the Divine Realm.
• The Light Dragon King killed the Water Dragon King as the memory ended, and Huo Yuhao inferred that the Dragon God was eventually defeated and split into the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
• Huo Yuhao surfaced from the Cold Spring with enhanced Ice Attribute power and questioned the dragon soul about the memory.
• Huo Yuhao showed Tian Meng his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul’s new blue eighth soul ring and said he had likely succeeded.
