At the Shrek City headquarters, Gu Yuena struggled to contain unrest against the Pagoda while managing its affairs.

• Xu Jiujiu cautioned that Xu Xingyu's plan would only suppress discontent temporarily, and Xu Xingyu said a coming war would soon distract people.
• Xu Xingyu predicted that Xu Tianran would succeed the aging emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and eventually start a war because of his ambition, alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult, and empire's advanced Soul Guidance Technology.

Xu Xingyu explained why the Spirit Contract Pagoda could remain neutral in the coming war, but argued that the Sun Moon Empire’s ties to the Holy Spirit Cult and its distrust of the Pagoda made it a dangerous victor. He proposed supporting the Star Luo Empire to unify the continent, and Xu Jiujiu realized her brother might even yield the throne to Xu Xingyu.

• Xu Jiujiu asked which side the Spirit Contract Pagoda would support if war began, and Xu Xingyu said it could remain neutral because few nations would risk provoking it.
• Xu Jiujiu worried that the Sun Moon Empire would defeat Star Luo, but Xu Xingyu said he preferred that Sun Moon not unify the continent.

• Xu Jiujiu, Jiang Nannan, and Gu Yuena accepted Xu Xingyu's decision to support the Star Luo Empire, and Gu Yuena suggested secretly selling it hidden Soul Guidance Technology.
• Xu Xingyu proposed having He Caitou, Xu He, and the former emperor's supporters trade with the Star Luo Empire so other countries would blame its technological progress on defectors from the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Xingyu told everyone about the Abyss invasion on Sea God Island, leaving them exhausted by the prospect of facing both the invasion and the war with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Xingyu learned that Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu were on their Third Trials, Ma Xiaotao had started her Fourth Trial, and Xu Yanxue remained in Deep Meditation in the Earth Dragon Sect's secret realm.

Xu Xingyu asked Gu Yuena how to stop Tang Wutong from taking control of Wang Dong'er's body. Gu Yuena proposed separating and purifying Tang Wutong's soul fragment, but warned that the process could permanently damage Wang Dong'er's soul, so Xu Xingyu decided to seek Electrolux's advice.

• Xu Jiujiu pulled Jiang Nannan aside and whispered to her, leaving Xu Xingyu confused and Gu Yuena watching knowingly.
• Xu Xingyu told Gu Yuena about the conflict between Wang Dong'er and Tang Wutong and asked how to resolve it.

• Xu Xingyu warned that purification could erase part of Wang Dong'er's soul, and Gu Yuena agreed that they should consult Electrolux.
• Xu Xingyu decided to ask Electrolux for advice before they left the next day.

• After dinner, Xu Xingyu returned to his room and began meditating to rest.
• Xu Xingyu looked out at the starry night sky and marveled that the stars and moon were together.

Xu Xingyu sought Electrolux’s advice on Wang Dong’er’s divided soul and the return of Tang Wutong’s personality. Electrolux said Gu Yuena’s dangerous method was likely the best option, leaving Xu Xingyu worried that a mistake could destroy Dong’er’s soul.

• Xu Xingyu left Xu Jiujiu and Jiang Nannan sleeping and went to the Spirit Contract Department to ask Electrolux about Wang Dong’er.
• Electrolux joked that Xu Xingyu usually visited only when he needed help, then heard the details of Wang Dong’er and Tang Wutong’s condition.
• Electrolux condemned Tang San’s treatment of his daughter and said his restrictions on Dong’er’s soul left him with no better solution than Gu Yuena’s method.
• Xu Xingyu objected that the method could scatter Dong’er’s soul, while Tang Wutong’s personality was expected to return within three years.

Electrolux explained that curing Wang Dong'er's soul required three supreme soul treasures, and Xu Xingyu learned how difficult they would be to obtain. In exchange for Spirit-Splitting Wood, Xu Xingyu promised to help Electrolux collect fragments of the Angel Holy Sword.

• Electrolux named Spirit-Splitting Wood, Purifying Flame Hong Lian, and Soul Gestation Crystal as the treasures needed to treat Wang Dong'er.
• Electrolux said he had Spirit-Splitting Wood in reserve, but he had used all his Soul Gestation Crystal to create the Tower of Eternity.
