Four-year-old Hun Xiu, a transmigrator born into the Hun Clan, cultivated to the fourth stage of Dou Qi and resolved to grow strong enough to change the clan’s doomed future.

• Soul Emperor recalled his own childhood and hoped Hun Xiu would one day surpass expectations and astonish the continent.

At seven years old, Hun Xiu waited to activate his Dou Emperor Bloodline after reaching Level 9 Dou Qi without condensing a Dou Vortex. The ceremony began with Hun Dan and Hun Qiu, leaving Hun Xiu envious of the strength their bloodlines awakened.

• Hun Feng boasted to Hun Cliff, Soul Li, and Soul Jade, who dismissed his pride because they also had Divine Grade Bloodlines.

• Hun Xiu placed his hand on the stone tablet, but it did not react, prompting the middle-aged man to check that it was working.
• Hun Xiu tried the stone tablet again, but it remained unchanged, leaving him questioning whether he had any Dou Emperor Bloodline.

After discovering that he had no Dou Emperor Bloodline, Hun Xiu received a Divine-grade System that offered him a Transcendent Divine Bloodline. He chose the first option and, after persuading an elder to let him touch the stone tablet again, revealed an Eleventh-grade Transcendent Divine Bloodline.

• Hun Feng and the others mocked Hun Xiu, but he reminded the elder that he was Soul Emperor's son.
• The elder allowed Hun Xiu one final attempt, and the stone tablet blazed with light, displaying an Eleventh-grade Transcendent Divine Bloodline.

• Hun Xiu punched down a large tree and marveled at his strength before Soul Emperor arrived.
• Soul Emperor told Hun Xiu to raise his head and meet his gaze, then praised him for obeying.
• Soul Emperor explained that Hun Xiu would certainly become a Dou Emperor as long as he survived.

Hun Xiu received a choice between two cultivation techniques and chose the mysterious Fire Devouring Scripture after the system revealed its potential to help him become a Dou Emperor. Soul Emperor objected and tried to steer him toward the Emperor Burning Fire Art, but Hun Xiu insisted he felt an affinity for the unknown technique.

• Hun Xiu reflected on his ambition to grow stronger and change the Hun Clan's fate while keeping a low profile.
• Hun Xiu modestly responded to Soul Emperor's praise and stayed silent when he could not decide how to answer.
• The system offered Hun Xiu the Emperor Burning Fire Art or the Fire Devouring Scripture and claimed the latter had a high chance of helping its practitioner become a Dou Emperor.
• Soul Emperor presented both techniques and hinted that Hun Xiu should choose the Emperor Burning Fire Art, which Soul Emperor himself cultivated.
• Hun Xiu chose the Fire Devouring Scripture, and Soul Emperor urged him to reconsider because the technique was unsuitable.
• Hun Xiu firmly told Soul Emperor that he wanted the Fire Devouring Scripture because he felt a strong affinity with it.

Hun Xiu rejected the Emperor Burning Fire Art and chose the incomprehensible Fire Devouring Scripture, which Soul Emperor and Nihility Devouring Flame had failed to decipher. When Hun Xiu opened it, he found Chinese characters from his previous life and wondered whether other people from his world had transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent.

• Soul Emperor explained that he had found the Fire Devouring Scripture in an ancient cave dwelling and urged Hun Xiu to choose the Emperor Burning Fire Art instead.
• Hun Xiu insisted on choosing the Fire Devouring Scripture, and Soul Emperor reluctantly accepted his decision before leaving.
• Soul Emperor told Nihility Devouring Flame that Hun Xiu had chosen the Fire Devouring Scripture, and they discussed how neither of them had understood it despite years of study.
• Hun Xiu opened the Fire Devouring Scripture and recognized its Chinese characters as a language from his previous life.

• Hun Xiu read the Fire Devouring Scripture’s opening sentence and recoiled at its instruction to castrate himself.
• Hun Xiu considered asking his father to exchange the scripture for the Emperor Burning Fire Art.
• The system warned Hun Xiu that attempting to change his choice would make it self-destruct and take him with it.
• Hun Xiu picked up the Fire Devouring Scripture again, opened it to the first page, and cried over the choice he now had to face.

Hun Xiu prepared to castrate himself so he could practice the Fire Devouring Scripture, believing it was his only way to survive. A breeze revealed the scripture’s second page, which said castration was unnecessary, and Hun Xiu left relieved.

• Hun Xiu resolved to accept the consequences of practicing the Fire Devouring Scripture and summoned a small knife from his Storage Ring.
• Hun Xiu began to lower the knife, but a breeze flipped the Fire Devouring Scripture to its second page and stopped him.
• Hun Xiu read that he could practice without castrating himself, laughed with relief, and tossed the knife into a tree.
• Hun Xiu urinated, picked up the Fire Devouring Scripture, and left as the sun neared setting.

Hun Xiu studied the Fire Devouring Scripture, cultivated its Flame Creation Chapter, and advanced to a two-star Dou Ling. He went to the Skill Pavilion to select Dou Skills, where Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and others watched him with resentment over his bloodline breakthrough.

• Hun Xiu memorized the Fire Devouring Scripture and decided to focus on its Flame Creation Chapter, with flame replication as support and flame devouring last.
• Hun Xiu cultivated overnight, stabilized his Dou Ling realm, advanced to a two-star Dou Ling, and formed a powerful flame in his palm.
• Hun Xiu recalled that the scripture required its cultivator to remain a virgin unless they reached the Dou Emperor realm, while non-virgins had to castrate themselves before cultivating it.
• Hun Xiu went to the Skill Pavilion to select Dou Skills and kept to a corner of the plaza, where the younger generation had gathered.
• Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and others noticed Hun Xiu and looked at him unfriendly because his Eleventh-grade Bloodline had eclipsed them the day before.

Hun Xiu ignored Hun Huan'er when she approached him, then corrected Hun Feng for calling him a younger brother. Hun Feng challenged whether being born one day earlier made Hun Xiu his older brother, and Hun Xiu told him to ask their father.

• Hun Feng urged Soul Jade to pick a fight with Hun Xiu, but Soul Jade remembered Hun Xiu was a Dou Ling and backed down.
• Hun Huan'er introduced herself to Hun Xiu, but he answered coldly and ignored her, upsetting the onlookers.

• Hun Xiu reminded Hun Feng that he was born a day earlier and insisted Hun Feng should call him Brother Xiu.
• Hun Feng argued that one day was not enough, and Hun Xiu challenged him to ask their father.

Hun Xiu forced Hun Feng to acknowledge him as his older brother after Hun Feng challenged his authority. Hun Xiu then took Hun Feng’s place to rest, while Hun Feng returned to his group and asked Soul Jade why he had not spoken up.

• Hun Xiu argued that being born a day earlier made him Hun Feng’s elder brother, and the younger generation agreed.
• Hun Feng claimed that the continent respected strength, then realized Hun Xiu was stronger than him.
• Hun Xiu threatened to beat Hun Feng until he called him Brother, backing him against a wall as the others watched.
• Hun Feng reluctantly called Hun Xiu “Brother Xiu,” and Hun Xiu patted his shoulder and told him they should switch places.
• Hun Xiu resumed resting against the wall, and Hun Feng returned to his group and asked Soul Jade why he had stayed quiet; Soul Jade said he was scared.

Hun Xiu entered the Skill Pavilion and used his system to choose the Yellow Tier combat skill Man-Slaying Palm. After leaving almost immediately, he registered his choice, and the elder questioned why someone of his talent had picked such a low-ranked technique.

• Hun Feng resolved to grow strong enough that Hun Xiu would fear him.
• The elder opened the Skill Pavilion and allowed each person to choose one combat skill before the crowd rushed inside.
• Hun Xiu entered after the others and received three system options: Man-Slaying Palm, Calamity Annihilation Fist, and Wind-Thunder Divine Leg.
• Hun Xiu chose Man-Slaying Palm, broke its battle qi barrier, and left without visiting the upper floors.
• The elder was surprised by Hun Xiu's quick return and asked why he had chosen a Yellow Tier skill despite his talent.

Hun Xiu chose the seemingly low-grade Man-Slaying Palm from the Skill Pavilion and tested its power in the back mountain, where it fell short of his expectations. The next day, he returned the technique and entered the pavilion again to choose another combat skill.

• Hun Xiu rejected the elder's warning and took the high-grade Yellow Tier Man-Slaying Palm, believing it was the technique he wanted.
• Hun Xiu studied and practiced the Man-Slaying Palm in the back mountain, breaking more than ten trees with a single strike.
• Hun Xiu decided the first form was too weak for his Dou Ling strength and resolved to seek the technique's second form.
• The next day, Hun Xiu returned the Man-Slaying Palm and went back into the Skill Pavilion to choose another combat skill.
• The elder assumed Hun Xiu regretted ignoring his advice and muttered that he should have acted sooner.

Hun Xiu chose the Calamity Annihilation Fist and Wind-Thunder Divine Leg, adding two more Yellow Tier combat skills to his collection.

• Hun Xiu returned to the Skill Pavilion the next day and quickly exchanged the Calamity Annihilation Fist for the Wind-Thunder Divine Leg.
• Soul Shou registered the Wind-Thunder Divine Leg and decided to speak with the Clan Head about Hun Xiu’s repeated choices.
• Hun Xiu practiced the Wind-Thunder Divine Leg, Man-Slaying Palm, and Calamity Annihilation Fist, then cultivated on the back mountain.

Soul Shou informed Soul Emperor that Hun Xiu was cultivating Yellow Tier Dou Skills, prompting Soul Emperor to question his son about his choices.

• Soul Emperor learned that Hun Xiu was cultivating Yellow Tier Dou Skills and told him they did not suit the future lord of the Hun Clan.

• Soul Emperor told Hun Xiu to stop practicing Yellow Tier techniques, and Hun Xiu agreed before leaving the mountaintop.
• Hun Xiu visited the Skill Pavilion and went to its second floor to examine Mysterious Tier Dou Techniques.
• The system offered Hun Xiu three techniques, and he chose the Soul Slaying Palm.
• Hun Xiu broke the technique's Dou Qi barrier, took the Soul Slaying Palm, and brought it to Soul Shou to register.
• Soul Shou asked whether Soul Emperor knew Hun Xiu had chosen a Mysterious Tier technique, and Hun Xiu asked him not to tell his father.

Hun Xiu rejected Soul Shou’s concerns and chose to begin with a Mysterious Tier Dou Technique, while Gu Dao informed Gu Yuan that the Hun Clan had produced three exceptional bloodlines. Gu Yuan ended by asking whether Hun Xiu, the bearer of the Transcendent Divine Bloodline, could be made to die young.

• Soul Shou warned Hun Xiu that low-tier Dou Techniques would waste his talent, but Hun Xiu said he had his own plan and left with the Soul Slaying Palm.
• Gu Dao reported to Gu Yuan that the Hun Clan had recently produced two Divine Grade Bloodlines and one Transcendent Divine Bloodline.
• Gu Yuan learned that Soul Emperor’s son, Hun Xiu, had awakened an Eleventh-grade Bloodline and that the report had been repeatedly confirmed.
• Gu Yuan asked Gu Dao whether there was a way to make Hun Xiu die young.

• Hun Xiu sneezed while cultivating, then returned to training so he could prepare for the Hun Clan’s future calamity.

Hun Xiu reached five-star Dou Ling in half a month and was summoned to the main hall, where he met a mysterious guest and a shy little girl. Gu Yuan recognized Hun Xiu’s extraordinary talent and believed he had the potential to become a Dou Di.

• Gu Yuan told Soul Emperor that he wanted to form an alliance of powerhouses.
• Soul Emperor accepted the idea enthusiastically, saying the two of them could take control of the continent together.

Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor agreed to pursue an alliance between their clans through a marriage, while Hun Xiu played with the young Gu Xun'er without realizing who she was. Soul Emperor rejected Gu Yuan’s proposal to match Xun'er with Hun Xiu and offered Hun Feng instead.

• Hun Xiu took the young Gu Xun'er to the back mountain, pinched her cheeks until she cried, then crawled around as her horse to comfort her.
• Gu Yuan proposed that his daughter Gu Xun'er marry Soul Emperor’s son Hun Xiu.
