Chapter Summaries

After learning that his grandmother Lin Huiqun’s ties to Shrek had bound him to the academy, Shen Yichen received the cheat he had been waiting for: a Diary Recording System. He began its tutorial and discovered it could share his diary with named characters, leaving him frustrated that he could not keep the system’s secret.

• Shen Yichen reflected on his transmigration, his Shrek family background, and his plans to become a god with help from a cheat.
• Bei Bei visited Shen Yichen before his Martial Soul Awakening, bragged that he had reached Soul Power Level twenty, and said he was leaving to hunt a soul ring.
• Shen Yichen ran to Lin Huiqun’s residence after the Diary Recording System activated.
• Shen Yichen opened the system’s beginner’s guide and learned that diary entries earned rewards while named characters might receive shared copies.
• Shen Yichen complained that the system had revealed its diary-sharing feature instead of letting him keep it secret.

Shen Yichen explored his system, created a disguisable diary, and began writing in it before his Martial Soul Awakening. His diary copy bound itself to Zhang Lexuan, who reacted with alarm as she spoke with Lin Huiqun about awakening Shen Yichen’s Martial Soul the next day.

• Shen Yichen examined his personal panel and found his Martial Soul and Soul Power were still unawakened.
• Shen Yichen summoned a luxurious diary, discovered he could rename it, and chose the name "Xiao Yan's Diary."
• Shen Yichen decided to invent a different Douluo timeline to hide his identity and wrote that he was a transmigrator whose system had awakened just before his Martial Soul Awakening.
• Lin Huiqun asked Zhang Lexuan to awaken Shen Yichen’s Martial Soul the next day, and Zhang Lexuan agreed.
• Zhang Lexuan received and bound a copy of "Xiao Yan's Diary," then cried out and gathered her Soul Power, startling Lin Huiqun.

Huo Yun'er, Jing Hongchen, and Zhang Lexuan received copies of Xiao Yan's diary and read his claims about being a transmigrator and the history of Tang San and Spirit Hall. The chapter left them privately weighing the diary's revelations as Xiao Yan considered joining Spirit Hall.

• Huo Yun'er received a diary copy system, learned that comments could earn rewards, and decided to keep it secret from others.
• Jing Hongchen read Xiao Yan's diary and was shocked by its mention of Spirit Hall, which history said Tang San had destroyed ten thousand years earlier.
• Zhang Lexuan read the diary, concealed it from Lin Huiqun, and agreed to oversee Yichen's Martial Soul Awakening.
• Xiao Yan wrote that his poor relationship with Tang San made it unlikely he could benefit from Tang San's rise, so he considered other factions.
• Xiao Yan praised Spirit Hall's reach and free Martial Soul Awakenings, calling it a righteous power capable of unifying the continent.

Shen Yichen used a fabricated diary about a transmigrator from ten thousand years ago to conceal his identity, then received rewards from his system. After gaining a stronger constitution and a Martial Soul evolution reward, he decided to form his own faction and expected to awaken with exceptional talent.

• Jing Hongchen and Zhang Lexuan read the diary's claims about Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• The diary ended with Xiao Yan hoping to awaken an ordinary Martial Soul and at least Innate Level Three Soul Power.
• Shen Yichen reviewed his fabricated diary and asked the system who had received copies, but it initially stayed silent.
• The system awarded Shen Yichen a Martial Soul evolution to manifest after awakening and increased his constitution by one.
• Shen Yichen decided to start his own faction and predicted that his evolved Martial Soul would bring him at least Innate Full Soul Power.

Zhang Lexuan revealed the mysterious diary to Mu En, who ordered her to keep it from the other elders for now. Unaware of their conversation, Shen Yichen looked forward to his Martial Soul Awakening the next day and imagined what powers he might inherit.

• Jing Hongchen and Huo Yun'er kept their diary copies secret, while Zhang Lexuan decided to confide in Mu En.
• Zhang Lexuan told Mu En about the diary and read its contents to him, including its references to Spirit Hall and events ten thousand years ago.
• Mu En told Zhang Lexuan not to inform the other elders and asked her to share any new diary entries with him.
• Shen Yichen wondered whether one of his diaries had reached the Divine Realm and resolved to keep a low profile.
• Shen Yichen anticipated awakening either his family's Jade Ruyi or Sky Pillar Martial Soul, and imagined possibly gaining Twin Martial Souls.

Shen Yichen awakened the Ruyi Jingu Bang as his Martial Soul and discovered that he had innate full Soul Power and powerful abilities. When Xuan Zi asked him to test the staff, Shen Yichen struck him hard enough to send him spinning through the air.

• Mu En began Shen Yichen's Martial Soul Awakening in the Sea God Pavilion while Lin Huiqun, Zhang Lexuan, Xuan Zi, and Ma Xiaotao watched.
• Shen Yichen summoned the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a plain-looking iron staff engraved with its weight of thirteen thousand five hundred jin.
• Shen Yichen placed his hand on Xuan Zi's crystal ball, which shone brightly and revealed his innate full Soul Power.
• Shen Yichen read out his Martial Soul's abilities, including its adjustable size and weight and its protection from physical and energy damage while he held it.
• Xuan Zi asked Shen Yichen to hit him, and Shen Yichen's swing sent Xuan Zi spinning through the air despite his activating Martial Soul Possession.

Shen Yichen reflected on his powerful Martial Soul and wrote about Tang San’s origins in his diary while Shrek’s elders discussed his first Soul Ring and training. Mu En arranged for Xuan Zi to obtain a top-tier Soul Beast and offered to take Yichen as his disciple, then left with Zhang Lexuan to speak privately.

• Shen Yichen decided to reveal the Golden Cudgel’s abilities while keeping the Diary secret and wrote about his earlier Emperor Flame Martial Soul awakening.
• Shen Yichen wrote that Tang San was a reincarnated Otherworldly Demon from a Martial Arts World, and Jing Hongchen read the diary in Illustrious Virtue Hall.
• Mu En chose a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear or Titan Giant Ape for Yichen’s First Soul Ring and sent Xuan Zi to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture one.
• Elder Lin offered to oversee Yichen’s training, and Mu En said he would take Yichen as his disciple when the time was right.
• Mu En noticed Zhang Lexuan’s distraction and took her for a walk so they could talk elsewhere.

Lexuan warned Mu En about Shen Yichen’s diary, while Tang San discovered he could not take Huo Yun’er’s soul and resolved to stick to his plan involving Xiao Qi. Shen Yichen then discussed first Soul Rings with Elder Lin, who explained why chasing a higher-aged ring carried risks without proven benefits.

• Lexuan secretly relayed Shen Yichen’s diary to Mu En, who agreed they should be cautious about the Sea God’s history.
• Tang San found that his Sea God Divine Power could not move Huo Yun’er’s soul and worried that the world consciousness or the Child of Luck’s fortune had thwarted him.
• Tang San decided to follow his original plan and rely on his move involving Xiao Qi rather than risk everything on an uncertain outcome.
• Elder Lin told Shen Yichen that Xuan Zi had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to find him a Soul Ring.
• Shen Yichen asked about Whale Rubber, and Elder Lin explained that the supposed advantage of a nine-hundred-year First Soul Ring was uncertain and might not justify the risks.

Shen Yichen reassured Elder Lin that he would not absorb Soul Rings above his level, then spent a quiet week at Shrek Academy while waiting for Xuan Zi and Bei Bei to return. When Jing Hongchen set a current affairs topic asking what a transmigrator was and requesting an objective assessment of Sea God Tang San, Shen Yichen began a lengthy answer that had only reached the advantages transmigrators possessed.

• Shen Yichen promised Elder Lin he would avoid absorbing Soul Rings above his level, and she recalled how his family had learned to value their lives.
• During the following week, Shen Yichen wrote in his diary, spent time with Mu En and Sister Xiaotao, and complained about Brother San while Xuan Zi and Bei Bei remained away.
• Jing Hongchen received the right to set the week's current affairs topic and chose to ask what a transmigrator was and request an objective assessment of Sea God Tang San.
• Shen Yichen recognized the topic as an opportunity to discuss Peerless Tang Sect and started writing his response.
• Shen Yichen described three kinds of transmigrators and began explaining how their prior life experience could give them an advantage over local children.

Shen Yichen’s diary described transmigrators and their cheats before reassessing Tang San as an ordinary, flawed person in life. It then condemned Sea God Tang San as a danger to the world, leaving Mu En, Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yun’er, and Jing Hongchen reacting to the revelations.

• Mu En and Zhang Lexuan read that Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record gave him powerful cultivation methods and a hidden weapon that pierced Qian Renxue’s heart.
• Shen Yichen explained that transmigrators relied on cheats and portrayed Tang San as arrogant, devoted to family and teachers, and also calculating and ungrateful.
• Mu En reflected on the criticism of his ancestor Yu Xiaogang, while Shen Yichen concluded that Tang San before godhood was an ordinary, selfish person with both good and bad deeds.
• Huo Yun’er’s admiration for the Sea God shattered, and Jing Hongchen wondered whether the Sun Moon Empire could oppose him.
• Shen Yichen distinguished Tang San from Sea God Tang San and declared that the god’s unworthy character made his power a disaster for ordinary people.

Shen Yichen’s diary revealed Tang San’s ten-thousand-year plan to take control of Douluo Star and his manipulation of Huo Yuhao. Mu En, Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yun'er, and Jing Hongchen were left shaken and wary of Sea God Tang San, while Jing Hongchen feared that Shrek Academy would oppose any resistance.

• The diary described Tang San’s political rise in the Divine Realm and his plan to privatize Douluo Star for the Tang family.
• The diary said Tang Hao would replace Douluo Star’s planar consciousness and Tang San’s mother would parasitize its life core.

• The diary accused Tang San of brainwashing Huo Yuhao and splitting his daughter’s soul to bind Huo Yuhao through love.
• Mu En and Zhang Lexuan resolved to distrust Sea God Tang San, while Jing Hongchen feared both the god and Shrek Academy.

Mu En and Zhang Lexuan discussed the danger to Shen Yichen and decided to conceal their connection to Shrek and avoid showing faith in Sea God Tang San in the Copy Holders' comments. Huo Yun'er realized her son Yuhao might be the Huo Yuhao from the diary, while Shen Yichen began probing the other commenters, who revealed that they were from his era.

• Mu En worried that Shen Yichen might be targeted by the gods because the diary had not mentioned him, then told Zhang Lexuan to keep their comments disconnected from Shrek and Sea God Tang San.
• Huo Yun'er recognized the possible connection between her son Yuhao and Huo Yuhao when he asked for a story about Sea God Tang San, and she avoided answering.
• Huo Yun'er, Zhang Lexuan, and other diary holders posted comments under nicknames, including Cloud, Soul Engineer, and Little Noble.
• Shen Yichen saw the comments, suspected Cloud might be Huo Yun'er, and posted as Great Sage Equal to Heaven to ask about Sea God Tang San and the commenters' era.
• Cloud and Soul Engineer confirmed that Tang San had become a god ten thousand years earlier in their time.

Shen Yichen kept his identities separate while the diary’s chosen participants discussed resisting the Sea God’s plan and shared information about their rewards. Zhang Lexuan’s reward raised her to Soul Douluo, while Xuan Zi returned from the Star Dou Great Forest with a young Titan Giant Ape for her Soul Ring.

• Shen Yichen decided not to mention the diary participants in his next entry so his identities would not be exposed, then received the Cloud Step Soul Skill template as his reward.
• The diary participants vowed to oppose the Sea God’s ten-thousand-year plan, and Jing Hongchen resolved to pass the resistance on across generations.

• Zhang Lexuan revealed to Mu En that her Soul Power increase had raised her from level seventy-nine to level eighty without apparent side effects.
• Xuan Zi returned from the Star Dou Great Forest carrying a Titan Giant Ape just over three hundred years old, and Mu En reprimanded him for causing a disturbance.

Huo Yun'er’s health recovered after the diary’s intervention, while Jing Hongchen received a Soul Ring Age reward and began planning against Tang San’s faction. Mu En sent Xuan Zi to secretly hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Zhang Lexuan, then took her back to the academy and withdrew his expectation that she become Bei Bei’s future wife.

• Huo Yun'er regained vitality and reassured Huo Yuhao that he would remain her pride even if he did not awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul.
• Jing Hongchen received a thousand years of Soul Ring Age, added it to his Seventh Soul Ring, and decided to keep the reward secret while gathering the diary holders against Tang San.
• Mu En told Xuan Zi to find a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Zhang Lexuan and return with help to kill it without alerting the Ferocious Beasts.
• Xuan Zi headed into the Star Dou Great Forest while Mu En took Zhang Lexuan and the Titan Giant Ape back toward the academy.
• Mu En told Zhang Lexuan she need not harbor feelings for Bei Bei or become his future wife, and Zhang Lexuan agreed to go home.

Shen Yichen absorbed a Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring and replaced its strength-boosting skill with a False Body that let him turn invisible. Mu En began training him and told Zhang Lexuan to prepare to leave as soon as her Soul Ring was found, shocking Shen Yichen.

• Mu En and Zhang Lexuan brought Shen Yichen a dying Titan Giant Ape, and Shen Yichen killed it with his Golden Cudgel.
• Shen Yichen absorbed the ape's roughly 360-year-old Soul Ring and gained Titan's Strength before applying a different Soul Skill template.

• Zhang Lexuan praised Shen Yichen and held him affectionately, while Mu En approved of their closeness.
• Mu En told Shen Yichen to rest before beginning training the next day, then ordered Zhang Lexuan to prepare to leave once they found her Soul Ring.

Shen Yichen realized Zhang Lexuan had reached Soul Douluo after receiving a Soul Power reward from a diary copy, then learned about her planned Soul Rings. The next morning, he wrote about his own Martial Soul and plans for his first Soul Ring while Zhang Lexuan secretly read along.

• Shen Yichen figured that a diary copy reward had raised Zhang Lexuan's Soul Power by one level.
• Shen Yichen asked Zhang Lexuan about her Soul Ring plans, and she explained them to him.

• Shen Yichen wrote that the Green Lotus Core Flame had strengthened his Martial Soul and considered whether to follow Tang San or make his own way, while postponing his first Soul Ring hunt.

Mu En tested Shen Yichen’s Martial Soul and discovered that the child’s Ruyi Jingu Bang could devastate Shrek Academy with a single strike. After Mu En moved Shen Yichen away from the blast, Shrek’s elders investigated the damage, and the academy blamed it on a faulty Soul Tool test.

• Mu En asked Shen Yichen to strike him with all his strength, and Shen Yichen’s first blow cracked the training ground beneath Mu En’s feet.
• Shen Yichen enlarged the Golden Cudgel into a hundred-meter-long weapon and smashed it down, causing a devastating shock wave that flung Zhang Lexuan away and damaged Shrek Academy.

• Yan Shaozhe called the elders to the Sea God Pavilion to explain the incident, while he and Qian Duoduo followed Mu En’s instruction to blame the damage on a Soul Tool test.

Rumors spread after Shrek Academy was destroyed, while Huo Yun'er realized Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes awakening confirmed her fears about his fate and decided to leave the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion with him. Shen Yichen answered the second current affairs evaluation by describing Huo Yuhao and several others as Children of Luck, but he left his claims open to doubt as he planned ways to fool the readers.

• Rumors about Shrek Academy’s destruction spread across the continent, prompting the empires and major powers to speculate about an attack or a new Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell.
• Huo Yun'er connected Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes awakening with the Tang Sect and Sea God stories, blamed Tang San for making her son a Child of Luck, and decided to leave the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion with him.
• Huo Yun'er used her chance to propose the second evaluation topic, asking for an objective assessment of Huo Yuhao as a Child of Luck.
• Shen Yichen described Huo Yuhao as a future Spirit Ice Douluo and God of Emotion who would shoulder several duties, and grouped Tang San, Tang Wulin, and Ha Luosa among other kinds of Children of Luck.
• Shen Yichen argued that Ha Luosa had been empowered by the plane consciousness to destroy the world, but that Tang San’s plan ultimately eclipsed it.

Shen Yichen’s diary laid out Huo Yuhao’s tragic rise and condemned how Tang San’s schemes shaped his life and choices. Mu En and Zhang Lexuan worried about Shen Yichen’s future, while the revelations about Huo Yuhao’s relationships and fate unsettled observers across the continent.

• Mu En and Zhang Lexuan discussed Shen Yichen’s extraordinary talent and Zhang Lexuan vowed to learn what would happen to him, even if doing so exposed her identity.

• Shen Yichen’s commentary argued that Huo Yuhao had little freedom under Tang San’s influence, but condemned his later treatment of his own child and concluded that he had become another Tang San.

Shen Yichen and the diary holders discussed Huo Yuhao’s perilous fate and whether to join forces with him against Tang San. Huo Yun’er tried to rally support, but Jing Hongchen suggested sending Huo Yuhao to Shrek, where Lexuan reacted with disbelief.

• Shen Yichen judged Huo Yuhao doomed because the plane consciousness, Tang San, and Shen Yichen were all scheming around him.
• Jing Hongchen realized Huo Yuhao was the White Tiger Duke’s son but decided against interfering with his future because Tang San was watching him.
• Great Sage Equaling Heaven revealed that he was at Soul Power level ninety-nine and insisted he could defeat Tang San without Huo Yuhao’s help.
• Huo Yun’er decided she had to find a way to protect Yuhao and urged the diary holders to join forces with the child of fortune.
