After Qin Fang and Mu En vanished in their mutual destruction, Du Busi blamed Shrek Academy, while Ten Thousand Demons King gave up much of his cultivation to repay Di Tian for helping his Master. Shrek prepared for retaliation, and Jing Hongchen learned that Qin Fang was presumed dead and feared the consequences.

Zhong Liwu learned that Qin Fang had supposedly died and seized Ma Xiaotao, while Ye Xishui’s reaction to Du Busi’s plea disrupted the Tenth Level Soul Tool’s forging and left her near death. As Long Xiaoyao tried to save her, a figure emerged from the Soul Tool and offered one final attempt.

• Zhong Liwu captured Ma Xiaotao and turned her into a Death God puppet after revealing that the Holy Spirit Cult had intercepted and manipulated her messages.

• Long Xiaoyao poured Life Aura from Qin Fang’s Gold of Life into Ye Xishui, but her life continued to fade as they reminisced.
• Ye Xishui urged Long Xiaoyao to avenge Qin Fang after her death, and a figure resembling her emerged from the Soul Tool and proposed one final attempt.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao used the half-finished Tenth Level Soul Tool to save Ye Xishui, at the cost of much of Long Xiaoyao’s Origin and strength. They stabilized the tool as a Rank Nine and a Half Soul Tool and reunited, while Long Xiaoyao discovered its power might make it a Rank 9.9 Soul Tool.

• Spirit Ye Xishui told Long Xiaoyao that Ye Xishui needed nearly half of his Origin, but stopped him from severing it himself and began the transfer through the Soul Tool.

• Spirit Ye Xishui instructed Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao to engrave patterns on each other, stabilizing the Soul Tool at Rank Nine and a Half.
• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao completed the engraving, and Eternal Night transformed into a pair of arm guards bearing a dragon and phoenix design.
• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao reunited after surviving the crisis, though both had lost much of their strength.
• Long Xiaoyao activated the arm guards and sensed that their power could surpass his former peak, perhaps making Eternal Night a Rank 9.9 Soul Tool.

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui tested their newly forged Rank 9.9 Soul Tool and discovered they could fuse into powerful forms, but their delay left Qin Fang dead. They joined the forces gathering at Shrek Academy, where accusations over Qin Fang’s death and the recovered Soul Bones brought the factions to the brink of war.

• Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui discovered their armguards enabled them to fuse, with each taking turns as the main body and drawing on the other's power.

• Long Xiaoyao threatened war, and more than a dozen Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult and Body Sect arrived, leaving Xuan Zi facing the possible destruction of Shrek Academy.

After Zhong Liwu killed Ma Xiaotao, Xuan Zi declared open war against the Holy Spirit Cult and the Body Sect, and Shrek Academy fought to hold them back while calling for reinforcements. Meanwhile, Ye Xishui searched the battlefield and concluded that Qin Fang might still be alive.

• Taotie Douluo warned Zhong Liwu and Du Busi about the consequences of attacking Shrek Academy, but Zhong Liwu snapped Ma Xiaotao’s neck and threw her corpse before Xuan Zi.
• Xuan Zi mourned Ma Xiaotao, declared war, and led Shrek’s Titled Douluo into the sky to fight the Holy Spirit Cult and Body Sect.
• Zhong Liwu fought Song Lao and Shi Xing, Du Busi challenged Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, and Xuan Zi battled Long Xiaoyao as Shrek’s forces began to fall behind.
• Shrek Academy sent up a distress signal, and eight elderly Titled Douluo emerged from hiding to join the battle and help turn the fight against Zhong Liwu.
• Ye Xishui examined the muddy pit where Qin Fang had fallen, sensed a hidden power resembling Divine Sense, and concluded that he might not have died.

Ye Xishui used Death God Tower to kill nine Shrek Academy Titled Douluo, then demanded an all-out campaign against Shrek’s students and the allies who came to help. Xuan Zi could not answer her accusations, and the battle stood on the brink of escalating into a wider war.

• Ye Xishui arrived at the battlefield and used Death God Tower to kill nine Titled Douluo, absorbing their souls into the Soul Tool.
• Xuan Zi ordered Shrek Academy’s forces to retreat, while Long Xiaoyao lent Ye Xishui Soul Power to steady her.
• More than twenty Titled Douluo who had come to mourn Mu En arrived and joined Xuan Zi’s side.
• Ye Xishui ordered the Holy Spirit Cult to target Shrek Academy’s genius students, and Du Busi ordered the Body Sect to kill Shrek disciples across the continent.
• Ye Xishui extended her threat to the reinforcements’ relatives and descendants, then accused Xuan Zi of ignoring rules after Mu En killed ten-year-old Qin Fang.
• Shi Xing warned that an all-out war could benefit Di Tian, but Ye Xishui said the Holy Spirit Cult welcomed casualties and would even welcome Di Tian’s slaughter.

Xuan Zi negotiated an end to the battle by accepting Ye Xishui’s demands for Soul Bones and access to Shrek Academy’s Library Pavilion. The Holy Spirit Cult and Body Sect withdrew with their compensation, while Jing Hongchen kept the student exchange going under a threat of retaliation.

• The Holy Spirit Cult and Body Sect celebrated their gains as Xuan Zi yielded to protect Shrek Academy and Douluo Continent.
• Ye Xishui demanded extensive compensation, but Xuan Zi rejected most of her terms and threatened to fight to the death.
• With the Death God Tower bearing down on him, Xuan Zi agreed to give each faction twenty Soul Bones and let them copy the Library Pavilion.
• Ye Xishui secretly told Du Busi and the Scorpion Tiger Douluo that Qin Fang was alive, and they accepted the settlement.
• Xuan Zi handed over Shrek Academy’s Soul Bones, and the Holy Spirit Cult and Body Sect departed with their spoils.
