Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao brought Di Tian to Shrek City and showed him technology that could produce Soul Rings without killing Soul Beasts. Di Tian saw a white Soul Ring emerge from an artificial sphere, leaving the two sides with a possible basis for cooperation amid the ongoing Beast Tide.

• Huo Yuhao told Di Tian that humans would fight to the death to defend their existence, then said he wanted to discuss the Soul Ring problem.
• Huo Yuhao and Di Tian arrived at Shrek City's wall together, confusing Wang Dong'er, Du Busi, Xuan Zi, and the other Elders.
• Huo Yuhao led Di Tian into the Spirit Pagoda and offered to show him its Soul Spirit, artificial Soul Ring, and artificial Soul Core laboratories.
• At the Ammonite-Sea God Workstation, Huo Yuhao formed a white sphere from the Sea God Pillar and handed it to Di Tian.
• Di Tian crushed the sphere and watched a white Soul Ring float out.

Huo Yuhao showed Di Tian how the Sea God Pillar could create Artificial Soul Rings and rapidly increase their age, convincing Di Tian that the technology could end the need to hunt Soul Beasts. He then revealed that the technology alone could hasten their extinction, and Di Tian asked to see the Soul Spirit Laboratory for a solution.

• Huo Yuhao demonstrated the Sea God Pillar by raising a Ten Year Artificial Soul Ring to a Thousand Year Soul Ring in under half an hour.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Artificial Soul Rings used Soul Cores and could be strengthened over time, and credited the Three-Legged Ammonite with enabling their mass production.

• Huo Yuhao warned Di Tian that those technologies would not bring lasting peace and demonstrated that Artificial Soul Rings could be customized to grant Soul Skills.
• Di Tian realized that the danger lay in Soul Bones and asked Huo Yuhao to take him to the Soul Spirit Laboratory.

Di Tian considered how Soul Tools and the pursuit of Soul Bones could doom Soul Beasts, and struggled to understand Huo Yuhao’s plan to reconcile humans and Soul Beasts. Huo Yuhao revealed that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was alive and with him, then demonstrated that Sky Dream’s mental attacks drew strength from Huo Yuhao.

• Di Tian feared that humans would eventually hunt Soul Beasts for their Soul Bones, despite the promise of Artificial Soul Bones, and wondered how Huo Yuhao could prevent conflict from returning.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm taunted Di Tian about Star Dou Forest’s decline and threatened to let it perish, while Di Tian endured the insults.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm attacked Di Tian with Mental Shock, and Di Tian realized that the attack’s unusually solid power came from Huo Yuhao’s Mental Power.

• Huo Yuhao rejected Di Tian's offer and prepared to fight, revealing the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, Qian Daoliu, Electrolux, and their weapons.
• Di Tian recognized Electrolux's Divine Soul and, realizing Huo Yuhao's advantage, told him he would accept whatever terms he demanded.

Huo Yuhao negotiated with Di Tian after the fighting, demanding soul beast spoils, soul bones, Bear Lord’s conversion into a Soul Spirit, and help finding rare metals. Di Tian grudgingly accepted several terms, and Huo Yuhao began explaining his fourth demand.

• Huo Yuhao demanded Shrek City receive the soul rings and soul bones from the beasts killed outside the city, and Di Tian agreed while keeping the corpses for the Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao demanded large quantities of Star Dou Forest’s soul bones, and Di Tian countered with one hundred 99,000-year soul bones and ten 199,000-year soul bones; Huo Yuhao accepted that amount.
• Huo Yuhao asked Di Tian to persuade Bear Lord to become his Soul Spirit, and Di Tian agreed because Bear Lord could live again.
• Huo Yuhao proposed a Star Dou Great Development Contract, asking Di Tian to mobilize the Thousand Jun Ants and other excavating Soul Beasts to find Rare Metal veins.

Huo Yuhao negotiated with Di Tian over mining rare metals in the Star Dou Forest and asked him to restrain a Limit Douluo when needed. He showed Di Tian a Soul Shard that revealed Tang San had sealed away Wu Tong’s memories and left Xiao Qi suffering in darkness.

• Huo Yuhao proposed that Soul Beasts and humans work together to mine the Star Dou Forest’s rare metals, and Di Tian agreed after Huo Yuhao argued that the arrangement could create a channel between their peoples.
• Huo Yuhao asked Di Tian to help by holding back one Limit Douluo, but Di Tian refused because his involvement would upset the balance between the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao showed Di Tian a Soul Shard and asked whether he recognized the power Wang Dong’er had displayed on the city walls.
• Di Tian sensed memories in the Soul Shard of Tang San explaining to Er Ming that he had sealed Wu Tong’s memories and planned for her to live in the lower realm as Wang Dong’er.
• The Soul Shard revealed Xiao Qi’s pain and fear as she pleaded not to be kept in the Dark Room and wished she could become a boy.

Huo Yuhao showed Di Tian the Soul Shard and explained how Tang San could use it to scheme against the Auspicious Beast and the Soul Beast clan’s destiny. Di Tian agreed to help him, and Huo Yuhao returned to Wang Dong'er with the Beast Tide ended and compensation arranged.

• Di Tian sensed the Soul Shard’s powerful obsession and realized it belonged to a divine daughter, while Huo Yuhao explained how it could infiltrate the Auspicious Beast’s Sea of Spirit through him.
• Di Tian deduced that Tang San planned to seize the Star Dou Great Forest’s destiny, the Golden Dragon Lance, and the Gold Dragon King bloodline by exploiting Wang Qiu'er and Tang Wutong’s memories.
• Huo Yuhao and Di Tian agreed to cooperate against Tang San, while warning each other that their alliance would end once the matter was settled.

• Huo Yuhao reunited with Wang Dong'er and told the Elders that the Beast Tide was over and that Soul Rings and Soul Bones from the corpses would belong to them.

After Huo Yuhao persuaded Di Tian to end the Beast Tide, Shrek City celebrated its survival and began clearing the battlefield. Huo Yuhao promised to explain the withdrawal later and continued strengthening his bones by absorbing Soul Bones.

• Di Tian flew back toward the Star Dou Great Forest and roared, leading the soul beasts to retreat from Shrek City.
• Shrek City's defenders celebrated their victory, while Huo Yuhao teased Wang Dong'er and checked on Xuan Zi and Du Busi.

• Old Song and Zhuang Lao organized the city's recovery as Shrek's people gathered Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and corpses from the battlefield.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Bone, further strengthening every bone in his body.

Huo Yuhao absorbed more than fifty Soul Bones to strengthen his skeleton before he could take no more. In the Star Dou Forest, Wang Qiu'er learned that Di Tian had lost a Beast Tide and was preparing Soul Bones as compensation, then demanded to hear how it happened.

• Huo Yuhao absorbed Soul Bone power until his bones turned jade-like and began to glow gold, then stopped when he felt unable to absorb more.
• Di Tian sat beside a mountain of Soul Bones as Wang Qiu'er questioned him about missing Soul Beasts and the fate energy of the Star Dou Forest.
• Wang Qiu'er realized Di Tian had launched a Beast Tide and lost, and Di Tian confirmed that the Soul Bones were compensation for the human world.
• Wang Qiu'er scolded Di Tian for not consulting her before attacking Shrek City and demanded the full story and details of the compensation.

Wang Qiu'er confronted Di Tian over the failed Beast Tide and warned him not to tamper with Huo Yuhao’s buried weapons. Di Tian accepted that she should help guide the Star Dou Forest, while Huo Yuhao briefed the Sea God Pavilion Elders on his dealings with Di Tian.

• Di Tian explained the Beast Tide’s causes and his failed attempt to kill Huo Yuhao, angering Wang Qiu'er.
• Wang Qiu'er told Di Tian to compensate Huo Yuhao and warned him that the Ninth Grade Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells beneath the Star Dou Forest must not be touched.

• Wang Qiu'er said she would go to Shrek City with Di Tian in a few days to see Bear Lord off.
• Huo Yuhao briefed the Sea God Pavilion Elders on the Beast Tide, the buried shells, and his agreements with Di Tian.

Huo Yuhao explained the Star Dou Forest compensation and the four soul technologies to the Sea God Pavilion Elders, who realized they could transform the Soul Master world. With Shrek, the Soul Hall, and the Body Sect short on rare metals, Huo Yuhao decided to visit Ju Zi in the North Land and claim the results of her operation.

• Huo Yuhao described the Star Dou Forest’s compensation, including soul beast resources, mining rights, and Di Tian’s offer to help fight, leaving the Sea God Pavilion Elders astonished.
• The Elders discussed the Soul Spirit Contract, Age Enhancement Method, Artificial Soul Rings, and Second Martial Soul Bestowal, and considered how the technologies could raise Soul Masters’ strength.
• Huo Yuhao reflected that his undead army could eventually become a vast force of Soul Saint-level undead, though producing enough Artificial Soul Cores would take time.
• Huo Yuhao noted that Shrek, the Soul Hall, and the Body Sect had nearly exhausted their rare metal reserves and needed money quickly.
• Huo Yuhao decided to visit Ju Zi in the North Land, where Teacher Xuan Ziwen’s detection soul tool had already uncovered her operation.

After the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Huo Yuhao and a Shrek team traveled to the Star Dou Forest to explore mining its rare metals. At the Lake of Life, Huo Yuhao began siphoning away its life-rich water while Di Tian watched.

• Xuan Zi assigned Duo Duo and Fan Yu to accompany Huo Yuhao to discuss mining in the Star Dou Forest, and Wang Dong'er joined the expedition.
• Huo Yuhao gave the recovering A Tai a piece of Ten Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow before the group departed in All-Terrain Soul Guidance Vehicles.
• The group traveled through the devastated Star Dou Forest and reached the Great Ominous Land without encountering resistance from its Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao opened a Gate of the Undead in the Lake of Life and began transferring its water, prompting Di Tian to tell him to stop.
• Huo Yuhao ignored Di Tian and continued siphoning the Lake of Life's water.

Huo Yuhao met Di Tian to collect the promised Soul Bones and negotiate with the soul beasts about Bear Lord joining his Soul Spirit gamble. Bear Lord’s remnant soul awakened in its Soul Ring, and Di Tian began explaining that Bear Lord had died and the beasts had lost.

• Huo Yuhao replaced the Lake of Life water he had taken with water from Qiankun Asking Love Valley and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, startling Di Tian.
• Di Tian gave Huo Yuhao the requested Soul Bones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and Huo Yuhao asked him to persuade Bear Lord to cooperate.
• Di Tian summoned Bi Ji, Ten Thousand Demons King, and Scarlet King, while Huo Yuhao introduced his companions; Wang Qiu'er arrived later.
• Huo Yuhao restored Bear Lord’s remnant soul in its crimson Soul Ring, and Bear Lord immediately tried to attack him.
• Bi Ji and Ten Thousand Demons King told Bear Lord that the battle was over and that it had died; Di Tian explained that Huo Yuhao had gathered its corpse and remnant soul and merged its soul into the Soul Ring.

Di Tian explained to Bear Lord that Huo Yuhao was challenging the Gods and that Bear Lord could join him as a Soul Spirit. Bear Lord chose to take part, and Di Tian asked the other Beasts what they thought of the Soul Spirit Contract method.

• Di Tian explained that Bear Lord could become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit, as the Ice and Snow Two Emperors and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had done.
• Bear Lord considered the possibility that Huo Yuhao could become a God, but Di Tian clarified that they hoped he would defeat powerful Gods before reaching Hundred-Level Godhood.
• Di Tian told Bear Lord that Tang San had obstructed humans from attaining Godhood and schemed to seize the fortune of Star Dou Forest.
• Bear Lord became eager to join Huo Yuhao in fighting the Gods, and Di Tian lifted the spatial seal.
• Bear Lord asked whether Huo Yuhao’s body could withstand his soul ring, and Huo Yuhao challenged him to find out.
• Di Tian asked the other Beasts what they thought of the Soul Spirit Contract method.

Huo Yuhao shattered his Sixth Soul Ring to make room for Bear Lord’s Soul Spirit, then summoned Electrolux to conduct the experiment. Electrolux gathered Bear Lord’s essence into a golden light, which concentrated at Bear Lord’s head as his body withered.

• Bi Ji, Scarlet King, and Ten Thousand Demons King agreed that dying Soul Beasts could cooperate with Huo Yuhao’s experiments, and Di Tian selected Bear Lord for the first attempt.
• Huo Yuhao shattered his Sixth Soul Ring, suffered severe injuries, and quickly recovered with the Life Power of the Gold of Life Engraving Knife.
• Huo Yuhao introduced his teacher Electrolux, who appeared in a golden ring and released his full power.
• Electrolux used a Soul Power sphere covered in Runes to draw Bear Lord’s Mental Origin, Soul Imprint, Soul Power, and Innate Bloodline energy into a golden light.
• Bear Lord’s body withered from his tail toward his head as the golden light gathered there and grew brighter.

Electrolux began Bear Lord’s Soul Spirit Ritual while Huo Yuhao and Di Tian helped seal Star Dou Forest away. A Scarlet Giant Eye searched all of Douluo Continent for Huo Yuhao, but the sealed Great Ominous Land eluded it before cracks shattered the eye’s manifestation.

• Electrolux began the ritual to form a contract between Huo Yuhao and Bear Lord, and asked Di Tian to help seal the space.
• The Scarlet Giant Eye appeared across Douluo Continent and searched for the Child of Destiny, whose Sea of Spirit had a crack.
• Di Tian used Space Power to isolate and reinforce the Great Ominous Land, including the Silver Dragon King.
• The Scarlet Giant Eye failed to locate Huo Yuhao or the hidden soul beasts and grew anxious.
• Cracks spread across the sky above Star Dou Forest, then burst apart and forced the Scarlet Giant Eye to vanish after it appeared to shed blood.

Huo Yuhao completed his fusion with Bear Lord’s soul spirit and obtained Geng Metal Power, then chose to channel a Soul Bone’s power into his Gold of Life carving knife instead of taking Bear Lord’s Dark Gold Terror Claw Palm Bones. He demonstrated that he could extract and absorb Soul Bone essence, leaving the others astonished by his plan to forge a divine weapon.

• Huo Yuhao finished fusing with Bear Lord as Di Tian watched in anger, and a red Soul Ring with four golden patterns formed beneath him.
• Bear Lord’s phantom appeared behind Huo Yuhao and offered to condense a Soul Bone, including a pair of Dark Gold Terror Claw External Bones.
• Huo Yuhao declined the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bones and said he would use a Soul Bone’s power to upgrade his Gold of Life carving knife.
• Huo Yuhao explained that he needed a weapon capable of facing Peerless Experts, since Ye Xishui could recover and Long Xiaoyao was only lying low.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed the essence of a thousand-year Soul Bone in seconds, confirming to Bear Lord that he could extract Soul Bone power for himself.

Huo Yuhao absorbed Bear Lord’s Darkgolden Terrorclaw Soul Bone and endured its destructive power by forcing it to tear through his body. After three full circulations, his body had grown tough enough to withstand the power, and he guided it toward the Gold of Life Engraving Knife.

• Huo Yuhao used his power to draw the Soul Bone’s essence from Bear Lord, causing Bear Lord’s body to dissipate.
• Bear Lord’s violent Geng Metal and Terrorclaw power surged through Huo Yuhao, tearing apart his meridians and nearly overwhelming him.
• Huo Yuhao used the Gold of Life Engraving Knife’s life force to heal himself while deliberately circulating the destructive power through his body to temper it.
• Di Tian, Xuan Zi, Bear Lord, and the others watched in shock as Huo Yuhao endured the process, while Wang Dong'er stayed beside him and encouraged him.
• After three Greater Circulations, Huo Yuhao’s body could withstand the power, and he directed it toward the Gold of Life Engraving Knife.

Huo Yuhao forged a Divine Weapon from the Dark Gold Terror Claws and Gold of Life, winning the Beasts’ acceptance of Soul Spirit technology. Di Tian gave him a protective Reverse Scale that also carried Heavenly Punishment Power, while Bear Lord struggled to understand who was speaking in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Spirit.

• Huo Yuhao fused the Dark Gold Terror Claws and Gold of Life into a Divine Weapon, then split it into two blades with Bear Lord’s help.
• Huo Yuhao asked whether anyone still objected to Soul Spirit technology, and Di Tian and the other Beasts accepted it.
• Di Tian assigned Bi Ji to continue Soul Spirit research and bestow Second Martial Souls, while Ten Thousand Demons King took charge of locating mineral veins.
• Di Tian gave Huo Yuhao a dragon Reverse Scale for protection and said it was a sign of sincerity.
• Electrolux and Qian Daoliu identified the Reverse Scale and warned that it carried Heavenly Punishment Power, while Bear Lord wondered why Huo Yuhao could hear them.

Huo Yuhao learned why Di Tian had given him a Black Dragon Reverse Scale and exposed the limits of Di Tian’s plan to keep him from becoming a god and leaving the Star Dou Forest. He gave Wang Dong'er one scale, accepted another for himself, and began testing its durability.

• Bear Lord entered Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, met Qian Daoliu, and fell asleep as a dark gold sphere of light.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that Di Tian had given Huo Yuhao a reverse scale to block his connection to God Positions and prevent him from leaving after becoming a god.
• Electrolux said Di Tian’s reverse scale could not block divine detection as effectively as the barrier he and the others had created.
• Huo Yuhao put one reverse scale around Wang Dong'er's neck, took another from Di Tian for himself, and revealed that he had already removed his Shura God Trial Imprint.
• Huo Yuhao tested the second scale with his Life Dark Gold Engraving Knife, leaving only a white scratch and making Di Tian suspect he had been tricked.
