• Yu Xiaogang praised Tang San, who vowed to return and end Ning Liu and Xiao Wu.

Tang San planned an expedition to the New Continent, selecting elites and leaving others behind as spies while his allies looted the Star Luo Empire for resources. After loading their people and spoils into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's spatial body, the group departed, leaving the empire stripped bare ahead of the Justice Allied Army's arrival.

• Tang San chose Soul Saints and above, core members, faction leaders, and one thousand elite Soul Masters for the expedition, while assigning the rest to remain as spies with his spiritual imprints.

• Tang San and his companions loaded their chosen people and the collected resources into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's spatial vortex and departed into the night.

The Justice Allied Army discovered that Tang San had drained nearly all the life from Sunset Forest to create his Soul Master Legion. Ning Liu vowed to restore the forest, left Xiao Jin to guard it, and led the army onward toward the battlefield.

• Ning Liu, Xiao Wu, and the allied army entered Sunset Forest and found it eerily silent, filled with the shriveled remains of soul beasts.
• Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, Tang Chen, and Bibi Dong recognized the devastation as Tang San's work, while Ning Liu estimated that fewer than one in a hundred soul beasts remained.

Ning Liu’s allied army advanced from the ruined Barack Fortress toward the Star Luo Empire, only to find its troops abandoning cities and its capital surrendering without a real battle. The chapter ended with the leaders baffled by their effortless victory and Tang San’s unexplained retreat.

• A deputy general told Ning Liu that fourteen Titled Douluos had destroyed Barack Fortress and wiped out its two hundred thousand defenders, while Prince Xue Xing survived after two mysterious figures intervened.
• Ning Liu ordered the allied army to rest overnight and attack at dawn, despite concerns that the Star Luo Empire’s halted advance might be a trap.

• The allied army encountered little resistance as the next two cities surrendered, taking three cities in one day and reaching Star Luo City by dusk.
• Star Luo City’s officials, led by the prime minister, came out unarmed and surrendered, leaving Ning Liu, Bibi Dong, Tang Chen, and the other leaders bewildered.

Ning Liu’s army found Star Luo City surrendered but stripped of its people, valuables, and military resources after Tang San fled with his core forces and supplies. Ning Liu resolved to unite the continent, restore order, and use the traces Tang San left behind to find him.

• Tang Chen sensed that Star Luo City had no Soul Masters left, so Ning Liu led Bibi Dong and the others to search the imperial palace.
• Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, Tang Chen, and Bibi Dong reported that the palace, treasury, armory, Spirit Hall branch, and sect bases had been emptied.

• Ning Liu called for a continent-wide search for Tang San, saying the resources he had taken would leave clues to his destination.

With Tang San and his forces gone, Ning Liu united the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires as the Douluo Federation and began carrying out sweeping reforms. The continent prospered under the new order, but Ning Liu remained alert to a growing threat hidden somewhere unknown.

• Ning Liu dismissed speculation about where Tang San had gone and urged the Allied Army to focus on unifying the continent.
• Ning Liu announced the merger of the two empires into the Douluo Federation, abolishing the imperial system and proposing joint governance by major sects and clans.
• Ning Liu laid out policies for lower taxes, equal enforcement of the law, and disarming most soldiers while giving them land and settlement funds.

• After half a month of prosperity, Ning Liu watched over Glazed Heaven as Bibi Dong appeared and he asked whether she had news.

Tang San and his followers reached the Sun Moon Continent aboard the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and claimed it as a new domain to conquer. They landed, established a temporary camp, and sent scouts inland to investigate the continent.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King surfaced off an unfamiliar coastline, and Tang San announced that the group had arrived at the Sun Moon Continent.
• Tang San declared the continent a new starting point and promised his followers they would become its rulers.

• Tang San planted Blue Silver Grass in the shore's sand, then showed a strange expression.

Tang San's scouts reported that the Sun Moon Continent had abundant energy and advanced Soul Tool technology, which Yu Xiaogang recognized as a major opportunity. Tang San revealed that he could harvest the land's energy and declared the continent a hunting ground, ordering the conquest to begin at Mingdu.

• Fourteen Pseudo Titled Douluo returned from scouting and told Tang San that the continent's energy was richer than the Douluo Continent's and its people used powerful Soul Tool technology.
• The scouts reported that Mingdu had nations and nobles, and that Soul Tools could produce force comparable to Titled Douluo attacks despite few powerful natives.
• Yu Xiaogang examined the recovered crystal and metal components, inferred how the Soul Tools worked, and urged the group to master the technology.
• Tang San drew energy from underground with his Dark Blue Silver Grass, formed black crystals, and gave them to Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Flender, and the others, easing their cultivation bottlenecks.
• Tang San declared the Sun Moon Continent his group's hunting ground and ordered them to begin their conquest at Mingdu.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang planned to seize Mingdu intact, capture its Soul Tool institutions, and turn the city into an energy farm and forward base. The assault began at night as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan attacked the outskirts while Flender led a strike force toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

• Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun urged the group to attack Mingdu, but Yu Xiaogang argued that they should capture its Soul Tool system instead of destroying the city.
• Yu Xiaogang proposed a blitzkrieg in which Yu Luomian’s group would cut off the city while Flender’s group seized its key institutions and Tang San’s Dark Demon Domain harvested energy.
• Tang San approved the plan and ordered his forces to take Mingdu within one day, threatening to turn anyone who resisted into fertilizer.
• Tang San waited north of Mingdu as his Blue Silver Grass spread underground toward the city.
• Yu Luomian’s seven Titled Douluo attacked Mingdu’s outer fortresses and walls while Flender led seven others toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ning Liu worried that Tang San had escaped to another continent and might return as a powerful demonic god. Bibi Dong urged him to focus on developing their own gods, and Ning Liu resolved to revive Glazed Heaven’s auctions to strengthen his allies.

• Ning Liu recognized that he had neglected his Auction Return System and resolved to use Glazed Heaven’s auctions to build strength.

Ning Liu decided to reopen the Glazed Heaven Auction House to gather wealth and strengthen the Federation before Tang San could grow more powerful on the New Continent. The announcement drew the continent’s powerful figures and fortunes to Suotuo City, while Ning Liu prepared nine extraordinary auction items as his trump cards.

• Doudou announced the auction’s second stage and unveiled three holy, divine artifacts before the gathered bidders.

The Auction House began selling divine artifacts, and the first, the Mystery of the Sea Blue, sparked a fierce bidding war. Ning Liu won an eight-hundredfold return that granted him the Heart of the Sea Blue, while Doudou moved on to the second artifact.

• Doudou introduced the Mystery of the Sea Blue as a scale containing a Divine Spark Core Fragment and a possible token to the Sea God's inheritance.

Ning Liu revealed that he had arranged the bid to secure a Flag-Bearing God Official's Godhood Inheritance Core, which he planned to give to the Soul Beast Clan, as Doudou moved on to the final divine item.

• Doudou explained that the Unyielding Battle Bone could greatly strengthen its bearer but might destroy the body and soul of anyone who failed to withstand its divine will.
• Tang Hao and Tang Chen considered the bone, while Huyan Zhen and the Giant Ape Family's clan leader began bidding against each other.
• A mysterious burly man in an evil ghost mask bid one hundred million gold soul coins and won the Unyielding Battle Bone.
• Ning Liu revealed that the masked bidder was a Titled Douluo who had pledged allegiance to Glazed Heaven and that the auction had earned him a Flag-Bearing God Official's Godhood Inheritance Core.
• Ning Liu decided the inheritance core would suit powerful soul beasts, and Doudou proceeded to the final divine item.

Glazed Heaven auctioned the Dew of Life, a divine relic with powerful healing properties, and Ning Liu secured it through a public promise to fund treatment for contributors to the Federation. After receiving a Third-level Godly Inheritance from the system, Ning Liu prepared for the auction’s unexpected final item.

• Doudou revealed that the Dew of Life came from Yao Ling, a God Official who served the Goddess of Life, and explained its healing power and limited use in the God Realm.

Ning Liu’s final auction lot was revealed as Spirit Hall’s complete original Grand Spirit Codex, a collection of secret Martial Soul research. Doudou explained its immense value, turning the crowd’s disbelief into fierce determination to acquire it.

• Ning Liu recognized the Grand Spirit Codex but wondered how the system had obtained Spirit Hall’s original manuscripts.
• Doudou presented more than a hundred volumes of the Grand Spirit Codex as the auction’s final centerpiece.

• Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo realized the volumes were the original manuscripts guarded in Spirit Hall’s sanctuary.
• Doudou described the collection’s Martial Soul records, evolution routes, and forbidden research, prompting sect and clan leaders to bid eagerly.

At the auction, Xue Ye proposed placing the complete Grand Spirit Codex in a free Federal Grand Library, and Ning Liu awarded it to the Heaven Dou Xue Clan while pledging Glazed Heaven’s support. The auction completed Ning Liu’s mission and rewarded him with the Atlas of Gods, which revealed a likely divine inheritance path for Dugu Bo.

• Doudou opened bidding for the Grand Spirit Codex, inviting offers of treasures, fortunes, or promises instead of money.

• Ning Liu consulted the atlas and found that Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor spirit, personality, and Medusa’s Gaze Soul Bone matched the Jade Phosphor Serpent God’s inheritance requirements.
