Chapter Summaries

After purging the Shura God's faction, Huo Yuhao appointed overseers for the vacant Divine Thrones and arranged for Tang San to believe Xiao Wu's approval was necessary to inherit the Shura God Throne. Xiao Wu ultimately learned the truth and played along, while Tang San set out to the City of Slaughter to begin the trial.

• Huo Yuhao assigned gods to oversee the vacant Divine Thrones, claimed oversight of the Shura God Trial, and gave the Rakshasa God the Shura God's soul.
• Huo Yuhao sent the Evil Lord a Phantasmagoric Seed to plant in Tang San's illusion, making Tang San believe Xiao Wu was the Shura God's Scabbard and that he needed her approval to inherit the throne.
• Huo Yuhao stripped the Judgment Laws from the Shura God Seed, weakening it and the Shura divine weapons, then altered the Shura Divine Sword Scabbard and sent it to Douluo Continent.
• After the Spirit Master Tournament, Tang Hao took Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiaogang away and confined Xiao Wu to cultivate her bond with Tang San.
• The altered scabbard fused with Xiao Wu, who learned of Tang Hao and Tang San's intentions and decided to play along.
• Tang San started for the City of Slaughter to undertake the Shura God Trial.

Huo Yuhao told the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings that the Dragon God had imposed the ban on Soul Beasts becoming gods, then offered to lift it or help create a new Dragon God. They chose to restore the Dragon God, and Huo Yuhao brought them to seek the dormant Silver Dragon King.

• Huo Yuhao awakened his Divine Sense at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and promised the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings he would fulfill his pledge to lift the ban on Soul Beasts becoming gods.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that the Dragon God, not the human gods, had imposed the restriction to protect the dragons' claim to the position of Soul Beast Sovereign.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings accepted their father's intentions and chose to help create a new Dragon God rather than have Huo Yuhao lift the ban directly.
• Huo Yuhao showed them the essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, which he had obtained after killing him.
• Huo Yuhao and the two Dragon Kings flew toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, where the dormant Silver Dragon King woke after sensing something was wrong.

Huo Yuhao found the weakened Silver Dragon King beneath the Lake of Life and rejected her plan to preserve their consciousnesses by having a child. He left her impaled with the Eternal Forbidden Spear.

• Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts mistook Huo Yuhao for the Golden Dragon King and submitted to him.
• Huo Yuhao asked Di Tian to take him to the Silver Dragon King, but Di Tian refused to interfere between their two lords.
• Huo Yuhao entered the Lakebed Space and trapped the Silver Dragon King with spatial chains when she tried to flee.
• The Silver Dragon King proposed that they have a child to inherit both bloodlines and become heir to the Dragon God Throne.
• Huo Yuhao dismissed her proposal and hurled the Eternal Forbidden Spear into her body.

Huo Yuhao fused the Dragon God's Creation and Annihilation bloodlines with the Eternal God's bloodline, producing an egg that would hatch into a new Dragon God and bringing the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest under his command. Meanwhile, Tang Lie forced the disabled Tang Xiao to surrender the Clear Sky Sect leadership.

• Huo Yuhao combined the two Dragon God bloodlines with the Eternal God's bloodline, creating a Dragon God egg that would hatch in a little over a hundred years.
• Di Tian pledged the Star Dou Great Forest Soul Beasts to obey Huo Yuhao until the new Dragon God was born, giving Huo Yuhao authority over the continent's Soul Beasts.
• Tang Lie and the Clear Sky Sect elders confronted Tang Xiao and declared him unfit to lead the sect.
• Tang Lie offered to settle the leadership dispute through the sect's traditional challenge, and Tang Xiao resigned rather than fight.

Tang Lie expelled Tang Xiao and Tang Chen from the Clear Sky Sect, crippled Tang Xiao, and had him thrown out. As Tang Xiao lay outside the Rat Hole, Ah Yin appeared, but their reunion left her feeling nothing for him.

• Tang Lie and the Clear Sky Sect elders removed Tang Xiao and Tang Chen from the sect, blaming them for Tang Hao's crimes.

• Tang Xiao recalled his past with Tang Hao and Ah Yin and despaired over his hatred for both his brother and the sect.
• Ah Yin approached Tang Xiao, who recognized her and crawled toward her, while she felt no affection for him.

Tang Xiao relived an alternate version of his past in which Tang Hao left him and Ah Yin alone, but Spirit Hall still hunted them and Ah Yin sacrificed herself. The vision ended with Tang Xiao noticing something strange about the child he and Ah Yin had named Tang San.

• Tang Xiao watched his younger self meet Ah Yin, fall in love with her, and see Tang Hao leave to inherit the sect.
• Tang Xiao and Ah Yin traveled together, had a child, and named him Tang San, while Tang Xiao's younger self awakened Divine Slaughter's Domain and fought Spirit Hall's pursuers.
• Qian Xunji cornered the family, and Ah Yin sacrificed herself so Tang Xiao could defeat Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, wound Qian Xunji, and escape with Tang San and her Seed of Life.
• Tang Xiao later drove back Qian Daoliu, settled in Holy Spirit Village with Tang San, and fell into grief and drunkenness after Ah Yin's death.
• Tang Xiao watched the young Tang San fend for himself, then wondered what was wrong with the child.

An illusion showed Tang Xiao the extraordinary life Tang San would lead and revealed that Tang Hao had taken Ah Yin to father the future Shura God. Tang Xiao’s fury at losing Ah Yin and the chance to benefit from Tang San left Ah Yin disgusted with both brothers.

• Tang Xiao watched an illusion of Tang San’s rise to godhood and celebrated him as his son.
• Ah Yin told Tang Xiao that the Shura God had arranged for Otherworldly Tang San’s soul to be born in a child of hers and a man with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
• Ah Yin revealed that Tang Hao had known about the plan, entered the City of Slaughter, and taken her from Tang Xiao.
• Tang Xiao realized Tang Hao had stolen both Ah Yin and the chance to be Tang San’s father, and he erupted in rage.
• Ah Yin rejected the idea that Tang San’s future made his otherworldly soul acceptable and felt contempt for Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao accepted the Rakshasa God's offer of power in exchange for inheriting its legacy, hoping to take revenge on Tang Hao and reunite with Ah Yin. He regained his strength and began the Rakshasa Divine Trial, leaving him transformed and eager for revenge.

• The Rakshasa God ordered Tang Xiao to crawl across a rotten bridge to the altar, and he made it across before the bridge collapsed.
• Tang Xiao saw Ah Yin, but she entered the Rakshasa Gate; the Rakshasa God said he could meet her in the Divine Realm if he became a god.

• The Rakshasa power healed Tang Xiao, restored his Clear Sky Hammer and level 92 Soul Power, and transformed his body.
• The Rakshasa Divine Trial mark appeared on Tang Xiao's forehead as he roared and vowed revenge on Tang Hao.

• Tang Xiao crushed Tang Lie with his Clear Sky Hammer and used its Black Mist to pull Tang Lie’s soul into the hammer.

Yu Xiaogang failed to gain an audience at Star Luo Palace and continued searching for a faction that would support his plan to build an alliance for Tang San. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi investigated Spark Academy and its growing influence, but the chapter ended as he examined the students it had taken in.

• A Star Luo Palace guard slapped Yu Xiaogang, dismissed his claim that he was a Teacher of Gods, and drove him away at swordpoint.
• Yu Xiaogang blamed the guard and worried that he would fail to establish an alliance before Tang San returned and judged his worth.
• Yu Xiaogang ruled out the Dragon Elephant Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Body Sect, then settled on another possible faction.
• Ning Fengzhi considered Spark Academy a threat to the power of the aristocratic clans and began investigating its technology and influence.
• Ning Fengzhi's spies failed to infiltrate Spark Academy, so he investigated the backgrounds of its students, including impoverished children and rescued slave girls.

Ning Fengzhi learned that Yu Xiaogang had arrived in Seven Treasure City claiming to be the Teacher of Gods, and urgently summoned him after realizing the claim might offer the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a way out of its crisis. After Gu Rong’s men broke Yu Xiaogang’s legs, Ning Fengzhi healed him and apologized, leaving Yu Xiaogang stunned by the sect master’s sudden kindness.

• Ning Fengzhi discovered that Zhao Hengning, Luo Xingqi, and other Spark Academy members had grievances against powerful families, and feared the academy would threaten the existing order.

• Ning Fengzhi took the claim seriously, but Gu Rong revealed that he had ordered Yu Xiaogang’s legs broken and had thrown him out.
• Yu Xiaogang cursed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and vowed to have Tang San destroy it, then tried to hide his anger when its disciples approached him.
• Ning Fengzhi healed Yu Xiaogang’s legs, noticed that he had been castrated years earlier, and apologized for his men’s actions.

Yu Xiaogang impressed Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong by revealing that Tang San was undergoing a trial for the Shura God, a Divine King, and claimed Tang San had sent him to unite the continent’s powers. Ning Fengzhi suspected Yu Xiaogang was actually Tang San’s servant, sent to build an Alliance while Tang San completed his trial.

• Ning Fengzhi invited Yu Xiaogang to take the seat of honor and asked what he meant by calling himself the Teacher of Gods.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that gods existed beyond Level 100 and claimed Tang San was the Shura God’s trial candidate, destined to become a god and Divine King.
• Yu Xiaogang eagerly revealed Tang San’s secrets to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong privately questioned why Tang San would choose him as a teacher.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Yu Xiaogang why he had come, and Yu Xiaogang said Tang San had tasked him with uniting the continent’s powers into an Alliance against Spirit Hall and Spark Academy.
• Ning Fengzhi inferred that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were more likely master and servant than disciple and teacher, and that Tang San had sent Yu Xiaogang to build an Alliance while he completed his trial.

Yu Xiaogang tried to recruit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into an alliance against Spirit Hall and Starfire, claiming Tang San would become a god. Ning Fengzhi accepted the proposal for political reasons, then asked Yu Xiaogang what he planned to do next, leaving him at a loss.

• Yu Xiaogang boasted to Ning Fengzhi that Tang San’s future godhood would make the alliance powerful, and Ning Fengzhi went to consult the sect’s senior members.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong questioned Yu Xiaogang’s claims and suspected that Tang Hao and Tang San had castrated him.
• Ning Fengzhi argued that the sect should form an alliance regardless, using Tang San’s supposed ascension to unite the mainland and letting Yu Xiaogang bear the blame if the claim proved false.
• Chen Xin and Gu Rong supported Ning Fengzhi’s decision to accept Yu Xiaogang’s proposal.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to unite under Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, then asked Yu Xiaogang about his plans, but Yu Xiaogang had none.

Yu Xiaogang and Ning Fengzhi agreed to build an alliance from the Upper Three Sects and the Two Great Empires, leaving the Clear Sky Sect aside for now. Ning Fengzhi secured the Body Sect’s support, while Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong went to approach the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Ning Fengzhi led Yu Xiaogang into accepting a strategy to unite the Upper Three Sects and then the Two Great Empires, while delaying contact with the Clear Sky Sect.
• Ning Fengzhi assigned himself and Chen Xin to approach the Body Sect and sent Yu Xiaogang with Gu Rong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Ning Fengzhi told Huo Qiqiang about Yu Xiaogang’s claim that Tang San would become a god and argued that the Body Sect needed an alliance regardless of whether the claim was true.
• Lu Yuan and Xiao Zhi questioned Ning Fengzhi’s reasoning, and Huo Qiqiang agreed to his proposal.

Yu Xiaogang returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as an envoy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, determined to reveal his new status after facing the clan’s ridicule. He asked Gu Rong to conceal his identity and prepare to teach the clan a lesson, leaving Gu Rong to comply as the mockery continued.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Gu Rong to punish the clan members and disclose his current identity, and Gu Rong agreed.

Gu Rong revealed himself as a Titled Douluo to protect Yu Xiaogang, but Yu Xiaomen arrived and subdued them with his superior strength. Yu Xiaogang was consumed by jealousy over Yu Xiaomen’s Golden Sacred Dragon and comforted himself by imagining Tang San would make him a god; Yu Yuanzhen then appeared.

• Gu Rong revealed his identity and used his Bone Dragon’s pressure to suppress Yu Xiaoke, Yu Xiaozhu, Yu Xiaoren, and the other Yu Family members.
• Gu Rong declared Yu Xiaogang an honored guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Yu Xiaogang boasted before being forced to kneel by Yu Xiaomen’s stronger pressure.
• Yu Xiaomen appeared atop his Golden Sacred Dragon and withdrew the pressure after learning Yu Xiaogang was a guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Yu Xiaogang grew jealous of Yu Xiaomen’s Martial Soul and imagined that Tang San would become a god and grant him eternal life and status in the Divine Realm.
• Yu Yuanzhen arrived as the Bone Dragon sensed another Titled-level Soul Power fluctuation.

Yu Xiaogang confronted Yu Yuanzhen over years of perceived neglect, insisting that he would train Tang San into a God. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan then debated whether to join the alliance against Spirit Hall and the Spark Alliance, with Yu Yuanzhen suspecting Ning Fengzhi wanted others to take the risks.

• Yu Yuanzhen questioned Yu Xiaogang’s claim that Tang San would become a God, and Yu Xiaogang accused his father of never caring about him or recognizing his achievements.

• Yu Yuanzhen asked his senior members whether Tang San’s promised ascension was credible and whether the clan should join the Mainland Alliance.
• Yu Luomian doubted Tang San’s prospects, while Yu Xiaomen argued that Ning Fengzhi was using the alliance proposal to address the threats posed by Spirit Hall and the Spark Alliance.
• Yu Yuanzhen criticized Ning Fengzhi for wanting others to take the first risk, and his anger at Yu Xiaogang’s earlier outburst flared again.

Yu Yuanzhen agreed to join Ning Fengzhi's alliance against Spirit Hall and Starfire, while the Heaven Dou Empire also joined. Xue Ye appointed Yu Xiaogang to the Crown Prince's Staff, giving him a new chance to seek renown.

• Yu Yuanzhen rejected Yu Xiaogang as his son but agreed with the elders that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan needed allies and should accept the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's proposal.
• Yu Yuanzhen formally accepted the alliance, and his clan began treating Yu Xiaogang with respect as the “Divine Master.”
• Ning Fengzhi introduced Yu Xiaogang to Xue Qinghe, and they urged him to bring the alliance proposal to Xue Ye.
