Chapter Summaries

Lu Yuan resurrected the Dragon Clan in the Dragon Graveyard, bringing Gu Yuena great joy. He then warned her that the revived dragons might scheme to place their unborn child on the Heavenly Emperor's throne, and she realized he would punish them if they did.

• Lu Yuan restored the damaged dragon souls and used Creation Profound Light to reunite them with their bodies, resurrecting the pure-blooded Dragon Clan.
• Gu Yuena thanked Lu Yuan tearfully, and the two shared an affectionate moment.
• Lu Yuan warned Gu Yuena that the resurrected dragons might seek control of the God Realm or take revenge on the gods.
• Lu Yuan explained that the dragons could manipulate their unborn child and push the child toward the Heavenly Emperor's throne.
• Gu Yuena recognized that the dragons might indeed try to use their child for the Soul Beasts' benefit, and she understood Lu Yuan would show them no mercy.

Gu Yuena agreed to keep the Dragon Clan under control so Lu Yuan would not have to punish them, then questioned his decision not to pass the Heavenly Emperor position directly to their child. Lu Yuan explained that the successor needed both human and Dragon Clan bloodlines to rule neutrally, leaving Gu Yuena to consider his reasoning.

• Gu Yuena worried that Lu Yuan would destroy the Dragon Clan if its members caused trouble and realized she would have to keep them in line.
• Gu Yuena promised Lu Yuan she would control the Dragon Clan, and he said he might not pass his position to their child.
• Gu Yuena accused Lu Yuan of favoring Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's future children over her unborn eldest son.
• Lu Yuan explained that their child’s pure Soul Beast bloodline might make him favor Soul Beasts, so the Heavenly Emperor should have both human and Dragon Clan bloodlines.
• Lu Yuan said any suitable child of Xue Er, Dong'er, Nana, or Bo Saixi could become Heavenly Emperor, and Gu Yuena fell silent as she considered his argument.

Lu Yuan and Gu Yuena discussed how to make up for their child after deciding he would not inherit the position of Heavenly Emperor. Gu Yuena secured the future Dragon God position, leadership of the Spirit Beast Clan, and the Dragon Emperor's Dripping Spring Spear for their unborn son.

• Lu Yuan explained why their child could not become Heavenly Emperor, and Gu Yuena said the decision was unfair to him.

• Lu Yuan told Gu Yuena he would grant whatever compensation she requested for their child, and she asked him to forge a set of Super Divine Artifact-level Dragon God armor.
• Lu Yuan agreed to forge the armor, teased Gu Yuena until she admitted she had been wrong, then took her away through a spatial rift.
• The Mountain Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, and the other dragons went to the Dragon Graveyard to gather the giant dragons and bring them to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Qian Renxue found Lu Yuan lounging and complained that she and Bibi Dong handled the work while he did nothing.

Qian Renxue told Lu Yuan that escalating clashes between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts threatened to spark a war, and he decided to intervene. He planned to discipline the dragons in the Star Dou Great Forest and change how Soul Masters obtained Soul Rings while preserving the Soul Ring system.

• Lu Yuan joked that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong could handle state affairs, then embraced Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing.

• Lu Yuan said he would send every god-level dragon to the God Realm as a warning, then address the Soul Ring problem and improve relations between humans and Soul Beasts.
• Lu Yuan told Qian Renxue that he would keep the Soul Ring system but change how Soul Rings were obtained.

Lu Yuan explained to Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing that Martial Souls could gather Heaven and Earth Source energy to create soul rings, and that an invisible shackle had forced humans to rely on Soul Beasts. He planned to remove that restriction and prevent soul rings and soul bones from appearing when Soul Beasts died, while preserving differences in ring quality through talent, fortune, and other sources of energy.

• Lu Yuan told Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing that human Martial Souls could evolve their own soul skills and potentially produce soul rings.
• Lu Yuan explained that God-Given Soul Rings and Soul Beast rings both drew on Heaven and Earth Source energy, which Martial Souls absorbed to condense soul rings.
• Qian Renxue deduced that the God Realm had changed cultivation rules and stopped humans from actively absorbing source energy to form soul rings.
• Lu Yuan said he intended to remove the shackle preventing human Soul Masters from making soul rings and to stop soul rings and soul bones from appearing when Soul Beasts were killed.
• Qian Renxue asked how soul ring grades would remain distinct, and Lu Yuan said talent, fortune, treasures, and powers such as starlight or sunlight could determine their quality.

• Lu Yuan told Qian Renxue that Soul Masters and heaven and earth would naturally reveal the best cultivation path, and she accepted his explanation.
• The revived dragons claimed the Lake of Life's core region and drove Di Tian, Bi Ji, Wang Qiu'er, Little Blue, Xiao Wu, and the other Soul Beasts out.
• Di Tian feared Lu Yuan would punish the dragons for their domineering actions, especially for expelling his younger sisters Wang Qiu'er and Little Blue.
• Di Tian explained to Bi Ji that Mountain Dragon King and the other dragons had returned to Spirit Palace, leaving the Dragon Clan without anyone to restrain them.
• Lu Yuan stepped through a spatial rift and told Di Tian that he had already learned what was happening.

Lu Yuan reunited with Wang Qiu'er and Little Blue after the Dragon Clan drove them from the Lake of Life's core, and learned that the clan had used its pressure to nearly force them to the ground. Enraged, he resolved to take control of the Soul Beasts' authority and punish the Dragon Clan, leaving Di Tian and the others trembling before him.

• Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, and Sky Azure Bull Python knelt before Lu Yuan when he arrived.
• Lu Yuan grew angrier at the Dragon Clan for driving Wang Qiu'er and Little Blue away and decided to seize authority over the Soul Beasts and crush the clan's ambitions.

• Lu Yuan asked whether the Dragon Clan had hurt them, and Wang Qiu'er said they had only driven them out.
• Little Blue told Lu Yuan that the Dragon Clan had released pressure against them until they could barely breathe and were nearly forced to prostrate themselves.

• Little Blue told Lu Yuan what the Dragon Clan had done, and he unleashed his aura across Douluo Continent, forcing the Soul Beasts to prostrate themselves.

• Lu Yuan reassured Little Blue and Wang Qiu'er that he would teach the dragons a lesson without slaughtering them.
• Lu Yuan took Little Blue and Wang Qiu'er to the Lake of Life and used his Five-Clawed Golden Dragon King bloodline to make the dragons tremble and submit.

Gu Yuena questioned his decision, and Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Bo Saixi, Ning Rongrong, and the other women gathered at the Lake of Life.

• Lu Yuan asked Little Blue to identify the giant dragons who had pressured her, promising to punish only the culprits.

• Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong arrived through a spatial rift, followed by Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Bo Saixi, Ning Rongrong, and the other women.

• Gu Yuena began to cry, and Bibi Dong reprimanded Lu Yuan for upsetting his pregnant wife.
• Lu Yuan’s anger vanished when Bibi Dong reminded him about the child, and he wiped Gu Yuena’s tears while blaming himself for his words.

• Lu Yuan suppressed his tenderness and told Gu Yuena that he would not apologize publicly or back down over the Dragon Clan.

• Lu Yuan poured energy into blood essence fused with the Five Elements origins, creating light clusters that gave off immense Dragon Might.
• Gu Yuena sensed that the new dragons’ bloodlines surpassed hers, while Lu Yuan told her that even the weakest rivaled the Nine Dragon Kings.

• The dragons emerged with four claws, while the five strongest had five claws and commanded the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth origins.
• The new dragons knelt before Lu Yuan and addressed him as the Dragon Emperor; he recognized the five five-clawed dragons as Half-Step God Kings capable of contending with God Kings.

Lu Yuan established the Five Elements Dragon Kings as the new Dragon Clan’s rulers under the Heavenly Emperor, safeguarding his authority and the balance between humans and soul beasts. He then broke the God Forbidden Zone’s seal and seized the Golden Dragon King, carrying it away from the God Realm.

• Lu Yuan appointed White, Azure, Crimson, Black, and Yellow as the Five Elements Dragon Kings and placed their clans under the Heavenly Emperor’s direct command.

• The God of Destruction admitted he could not bring himself to assist Lu Yuan because Lu Yuan had killed the God Kings, Asura God, and Sin Gods.
