Arc 28The Saint Tree's Escape
Shen Ye's struggle for control of The Other Shore Great Ship led him to uncover the monsters' attempts to reach the future and the Saint Tree's plan to escape through humanity. After exchanging identities with the Saint Tree, Shen Ye gathered the power of the ongoing decisive battle and prepared to fight it.
- Shen Ye imprisoned rival S-Rank monsters, freed Mi from the Lord of Twisting's influence, and evolved his gate ability into Spirit Ruins Gate.
- Shen Ye survived the future monster's attacks with Song Yinchen's help, escaped to a parallel ship, and awakened and upgraded it before fusing it with the enemy vessel.
- Young Shen Ye sent Good Duckie through the Partition Gate to sever the future's influence, and Good Duckie fused with Mandala Ouroboros and forced the Dharma Realm to accept his guidance.
- Shen Ye learned that his world was an experimental site and discovered that the monsters' attempts to replace humans and escape the Entropy-Extinction Era had caused it.
- Shen Ye bargained for humans' safety through boarding requirements and located the hidden battle between the Lord of the Higher-Dimensional and Doomsday inside the Saint Tree.
- Shen Ye refused to free the Saint Tree after learning that it had directed the Poem of Eternity's missions, and he and Good Duckie redirected its summoned monsters into the past.
- Shen Ye copied Life-Stripping Heart-Devouring and exchanged identities with the Saint Tree when it tried to replace him and seize his fate.
- Shen Ye confronted the Saint Tree after it refused peace and used Reincarnation Snake Lock, Dharma Realm Ruler to collect the decisive battle's aftershocks for his attack.
