Chapter Summaries

Sun Zhongjing found the remnant Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin’s new life with no memories, and took her from the cave to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He left for Sunset Forest, intending to use its special environment to accelerate her growth.

• Sun Zhongjing examined the Blue Silver Emperor and realized she was a new consciousness formed from a remnant of Ah Yin’s soul, not Ah Yin herself.
• Sun Zhongjing dug up the Blue Silver Emperor with her roots and soil, deciding to protect and cultivate her.
• Sun Zhongjing noted that Tang San had already fused with the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone, which was not in the cave.
• Sun Zhongjing flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, whose Treasure Basin Land could greatly speed the Blue Silver Emperor’s growth.

Sun Zhongjing planted the Blue Silver Emperor beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but its natural recovery would take a century. Ye Cheng used his divine power to gather life force from across Sunset Forest and rapidly nourish the plant, leaving Ah Yin’s soul and cultivation growing at an extraordinary rate.

• Sun Zhongjing planted the Blue Silver Emperor where the icy and scorching springs met, and it quickly doubled in size and developed its consciousness.
• Sun Zhongjing realized the Blue Silver Emperor would need about a hundred years to regain its former cultivation and searched for a way to accelerate its growth.
• Ye Cheng traveled from White Cloud City to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and spread his Divine Sense across Sunset Forest.
• Ye Cheng drew a small amount of life force from every plant in Sunset Forest and used divine power to channel it into the Blue Silver Emperor.
• The Blue Silver Emperor grew rapidly as its soul matured and its former cultivation experience returned as instinct.

Ye Cheng poured the Sunset Forest’s life force into the Blue Silver Emperor, raising her cultivation to nearly one hundred thousand years. As she formed an evolutionary cocoon, he prepared to use his newly developed Master-Servant Soul Beast Contract to prevent her from taking human form.

• Ye Cheng drew life force from plants throughout Sunset Forest to rapidly increase the Blue Silver Emperor’s cultivation.
• After more than two hours, the Blue Silver Emperor neared one hundred thousand years of cultivation and formed a golden cocoon.
• Ye Cheng concluded that taking human form would limit the Blue Silver Emperor’s path to godhood and decided not to let her choose that option.
• Ye Cheng recalled that he had developed the Master-Servant Soul Beast Contract, which allowed controlled sharing of cultivation between a soul master and a soul beast.

Ye Cheng formed a Master-Servant Contract with the Blue Silver Emperor and used a little of his cultivation to help her reach two hundred thousand years and take human form. After she shared the Light of Life with Sunset Forest, she revealed that the contract had also given her access to some of Ye Cheng’s memories, including the truth about her predecessor, Tang Hao, and Tang San.

• Ye Cheng decided to keep the Master-Servant Contract secret and planned to raise the Blue Silver Emperor to two hundred thousand years rather than risk turning her into a god.
• Ye Cheng taught the Blue Silver Emperor how to form the contract, and she accepted and cooperated with him.
• After the contract formed, the Blue Silver Emperor sent blue-gold Light of Life across Sunset Forest, giving plants the possibility of developing spiritual intelligence.
• At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Blue Silver Emperor took human form and asked Ye Cheng whether to call him Master or Father.
• The Blue Silver Emperor told Ye Cheng that the contract had given her some of his memories, including the history of her predecessor, Tang Hao, and Tang San.

Ye Cheng brought the newly reborn Blue Silver Emperor close to a million years of cultivation and let her choose whether to call him Father or Master. He named her Ye Lan and brought her to White Cloud City, where San Jiu wondered whether she was his mistress.

• Ye Cheng explained that Ye Lan could call him Father or Master in private, and she chose Master.
• Ye Lan asked for a new name to distinguish herself from her predecessor, and Ye Cheng named her Ye Lan, or A Lan.
• Ye Cheng brought A Lan to City Lord Manor in White Cloud City and told San Jiu that A Lan would live there and could access most of the manor.
• San Jiu asked whether A Lan was their mistress, but Ye Cheng teased her and left without answering.

Ye Cheng reflected on why he would not pursue the innocent A Lan, while Qian Renxue abandoned her Heaven Dou Empire mission and returned to Spirit Hall. Her reunion with Bibi Dong ended in bitter estrangement, leaving Bibi Dong alone with her unspoken feelings.

• Ye Cheng decided he could not bring himself to pursue A Lan because, despite her adult appearance, she was still mentally like a newborn and knew nothing of love.
• Qian Renxue resumed her true form and left the Crown Prince Residence with two Titled Douluo, giving up the Xue Qinghe identity and her mission to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City and went to the Pope Palace to meet Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong greeted Qian Renxue coldly and mocked her for returning to inherit the family estate.
• Qian Renxue left the hall in anger, while Bibi Dong watched her go and sighed alone.

After meditating for ten days in Douluo Hall, Qian Renxue received the Angel God’s Nine Trials from the statue of the Six-Winged Angel. She resolved to complete the trials and become the Angel God, unaware that her grandfather Qian Daoliu would have to sacrifice his life for her inheritance.

• Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue that she had to complete all nine trials to become the new Angel God.
• Qian Renxue resolved to inherit the divine position, unaware of the sacrifice it would demand from Qian Daoliu.

Bibi Dong revealed that she had used Spirit Hall’s expansion and Qian Renxue’s mission to delay her daughter’s ascension while pursuing her hatred of the Angel Clan. In White Cloud City, Ye Cheng taught Bo Saixi to condense soul rings, and she successfully formed her first Ten-Year Soul Ring.

• Bibi Dong recovered from a Rakshasa-influenced transformation and reflected on her plan to destroy the Angel Clan.
• Bibi Dong admitted that she had sent Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire to delay her Angel God trials.
• Bibi Dong put on her Pope Robe and laughed as a black phantom appeared behind her.
• Ye Cheng offered to teach Bo Saixi the Ring Condensation Method, and she agreed because her shattered soul rings could not be replaced normally.
• Ye Cheng guided Bo Saixi in the Secluded Cultivation Room, where she condensed her first Ten-Year Soul Ring.

Ye Cheng explained how the Soul Tower could help Bo Saixi recover her strength, and she decided to cultivate there. At White Cloud Academy, Zhu Zhuyun reflected on her envy of Zhu Zhuqing and resolved to have her younger sister killed before she could gain a powerful backer.

• Ye Cheng told Bo Saixi that the Soul Tower could greatly accelerate her cultivation, and she chose to use it despite feeling she would owe him more.

• Zhu Zhuyun sent trusted subordinates to hunt Zhu Zhuqing, this time intending to kill her before she became the Limit Douluo's disciple.

• Zhu Zhuyun became engrossed in the academy’s teachings about God Ring Masters and their cultivation methods.
• Ye Cheng’s ideas were subtly embedded in the students’ textbooks, gradually influencing Zhu Zhuyun and the others.

Zhu Zhuyun, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er prepared to spend their rest day cultivating together at the Soul Tower. After more than two months at White Cloud Academy, they had reached level 20 and planned to use their saved Points to strengthen their soul rings and form their second ones.

• Zhu Zhuyun finished getting ready and left her room, where she met Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er as they stepped out of neighboring rooms.

• After more than two months of study and cultivation, all three had reached level 20 but still had one soul ring each, aged just over two hundred years.
• The three beauties arrived at the towering Soul Tower, intending to spend their saved Points on higher-floor cultivation.

Zhu Zhuyun, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu tested the second floor of the Soul Tower and gained a dramatic boost to their cultivation. When they returned to the lobby, Zhu Zhuyun recognized a woman as one of her sisters, reuniting with her after many years.

• Zhu Zhuyun, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu learned the Soul Tower's floor prices and decided to spend 100 Points each on one day of cultivation on the second floor.

• Zhu Zhuqing recalled their childhood closeness and silently vowed to change the system when she became strong enough.
• Zhu Zhuyun embraced Zhu Zhuqing and apologized, and Zhu Zhuqing comforted her as Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er watched.

After reconciling with Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun watched her sister enter the Soul Tower’s Ninth Floor without spending Points and learned of the privileges she received as the dean’s disciple. As Zhu Zhuyun and her companions prepared to leave, another woman arrived with a token granting access to the same floor.

• Zhu Zhuyun regained her spirits and prepared to go to class with Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
• A sea-blue-haired woman showed the staff member a token, received access to the Ninth Floor, and left the three women wondering about her connections.

• She examined her two existing Soul Cores and focused on forming the third in her Upper Dantian.
• Zhu Zhuqing carefully gathered her Mental Power at her brow and condensed it into a Soul Core.
• The completed Soul Core caused a dramatic change in her mind, and her Soul Power broke through level ninety.
• Eight soul rings appeared around Zhu Zhuqing as a ninth ring rapidly began to form.

Zhu Zhuqing completed her third Soul Core and rose to level 99, becoming a Limit Douluo with nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. She realized her strength was enough to confront the Star Luo Empire without waiting to become a god.

• Zhu Zhuqing's ninth soul ring became a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as she absorbed the energy around her.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her three Soul Cores to stabilize her power and raise the ages of her other eight soul rings.
• Zhu Zhuqing reached level 99 and recognized that her rare soul rings, martial souls, and soul bones made her stronger than an ordinary Limit Douluo.
• Zhu Zhuqing realized she could use her new power to make the Star Luo Empire submit and carry out her plan ahead of schedule.

After stabilizing her newly elevated realm, Zhu Zhuqing left seclusion and hurried to City Lord Manor to tell Ye Cheng about her progress. She learned that he had gone out with a woman named A Lan, leaving her wondering whether A Lan was his wife.

• Zhu Zhuqing found that a week had passed, reassured Zhu Zhuyun by message, and flew toward City Lord Manor with precise control of her new power.

• Zhu Zhuqing reached City Lord Manor and asked a Guard where Ye Cheng was.
• The Guard said Ye Cheng had gone out with Miss A Lan, and Zhu Zhuqing left, wondering about A Lan’s relationship with her teacher.
• Zhu Zhuqing considered asking Yi Hua, Er Nai, San Jiu, Si Ye, and Wu Yue, the quintuplet maids who managed the manor, to learn more.

Zhu Zhuqing questioned Si Ye about A Lan and learned that Ye Cheng had brought her to the manor and was teaching her like a daughter, prompting Si Ye to speculate that A Lan might be his child bride. When Zhu Zhuqing saw Ye Cheng and A Lan together in the garden, she mistook their closeness for romantic affection and felt she had no place between them.

• Zhu Zhuqing messaged Si Ye to ask about A Lan.
• Si Ye said Ye Cheng had brought A Lan back, kept her close, and taught her like a daughter; she speculated that A Lan might be his illegitimate daughter or child bride.
• Zhu Zhuqing blushed as she wondered whether she herself fit the description of a child bride.
• Ye Cheng returned to the manor with A Lan and took her to the garden to watch the koi.
• Zhu Zhuqing saw Ye Cheng and A Lan sitting together and mistook his indulgent gaze for romantic affection.

Ye Cheng explained that his improved Soul Beast Contract let him choose whether to share power and allowed multiple contracts, easing Zhu Zhuqing’s concern that A Lan would weaken him. Zhu Zhuqing warned that publishing the improved contract could lead to soul beast oppression, and Ye Cheng said he would release only the original contract because humanity needed soul beasts to face the Abyss.

• A Lan introduced herself to Zhu Zhuqing as Ye Cheng’s contractor and a 100,000 Year Blue Silver Grass.
• Zhu Zhuqing questioned why Ye Cheng had contracted with A Lan, and he confirmed that she was his contracted soul beast.
• Ye Cheng explained that his improved contract made power-sharing optional and allowed a soul master to contract multiple soul beasts.
• Zhu Zhuqing realized that publicizing the improved contract could encourage humans to exploit soul beasts.
• Ye Cheng said he would only make the original Soul Beast Contract public, since humanity needed unity with soul beasts to oppose the Abyss.

Zhu Zhuqing told Ye Cheng she planned to return to the Star Luo Empire and reform its oppressive traditions, and he gave her the Divine Artifact Flying Rainbow Sword to protect her from possible God-level Experts. She entered Star Luo City determined to break the rules binding her fate, while the city’s informants reported her arrival and its influential figures began considering how to win her favor.
