Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao’s forces exploited the collapse of a Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Troupe defensive position by unleashing over ten thousand durable Soul Guidance Bionic Spiders. As the spiders overwhelmed the enemy positions and shattered the defenders’ morale, Huo Yuhao declared that Ju Zi would soon face the consequences of her invasion.

• Xuan Ziwen concentrated sixty Level Six High-Energy Lasers on a Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Troupe position, opening a hole in its Linked Defense Soul Tool.
• Silver streams of Soul Guidance Bionic Spiders surged toward the damaged position, while the other Sun Moon soul engineer troupes tried and failed to stop them with cannon fire.
• The spiders’ Deep Sea Sinking Silver shells resisted the varied effects of the Sun Moon Empire’s shells, allowing most of them to recover and keep advancing.
• Huo Yuhao watched the assault and reflected that the expensive, year-long effort to build the spider swarm was a rehearsal for an Undead War.
• Huo Yuhao addressed Ju Zi, saying those who walked with fire would soon be burned by it.
• The Soul Guidance Bionic Spiders flooded the enemy positions and slaughtered the defenders, whose panic drove them to fire their Soul Tools without conserving Soul Power.

After waking from a day and night of sleep, Huo Yuhao reunited with Wang Dong'er and shared a teasing, affectionate moment with her. Wang Dong'er told him that Tang Ya had been rescued from the Holy Spirit Cult but was in unstable condition, so Huo Yuhao left to help her.

• Wang Dong'er teased Huo Yuhao until he got out of bed and went to attend to Tang Ya.
• After Huo Yuhao left, Wang Dong'er washed the blood scent from herself and felt relieved that he seemed to have overcome the greatest trial of his life.

Huo Yuhao learned that Tang Ya’s Martial Soul had taken control of her body while her mind shut itself away under the weight of her past killings. He entered the underground Secret Chamber to find her life force rapidly declining, as Bei Bei begged him to save her.

• Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan told Huo Yuhao that Tang Ya remained violently out of control despite having her Soul Power drained.
• Huo Yuhao learned that Tang Ya’s guilt and trauma had caused her to withdraw inward, leaving the Dark Blue Silver King to control her body.
• Huo Yuhao and the others went to the underground Secret Chamber, where Bei Bei pleaded with him to save Tang Ya.
• Huo Yuhao reassured Bei Bei and entered the chamber, where he found Tang Ya’s life force plummeting as Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo stood helpless.

Tang Ya’s Blood Burning State caused her to self-devour after her soul power was drained, and Huo Yuhao recognized that ordinary treasures could not stop the decline. He began using his own life-rich blood to address her condition.

• Tang Ya’s life force and vital energy rapidly declined after her soul power reserves were depleted, leaving Bei Bei unable to stabilize her.
• Huo Yuhao identified Tang Ya’s condition as a Self-Devouring Phenomenon caused by her uncontrollable Blood Burning State and explained why the treasures Bei Bei found were ineffective.
• Huo Yuhao freed Tang Ya’s left arm, and her Blue Silver Grass vines attacked him, but he caught them without being pierced.
• Huo Yuhao used Ultimate Gold to cut his palm with Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Cut, and his pale gold blood filled the room with a nourishing fragrance.

King Kong, Terao Iku, Suzuna, Inuyama Heita, and Takuya cleared the Giant Cocoons, but more Hope Church enemies confronted them in the black fog. At the police station, Sasaki Ryūsei realized the hideout was under attack and relied on a secret weapon as Inuyama Heita recognized teacher Takadera Ken and someone addressed him as Tsukumo.

• King Kong, Terao Iku, Suzuna, and Inuyama Heita defeated the transformed children and confirmed the Giant Cocoons in the building had been cleared.

• Sasaki Ryūsei trusted Hope Church's secret weapon, which he believed could counter psychics, to protect the hideout from the exorcists.
• More than a dozen Vase Bearers confronted the group, and Inuyama Heita identified their leader as teacher Takadera Ken before someone called him Tsukumo.

After Shrek City’s defense, Huo Yuhao used the Sun Moon Empire’s defeat to secure time for his forces to grow while Shrek repaired the Sea God Helmet. Seven days later, he and Wang Dong’er ran a grilled-fish stall at Shrek Academy, where Xu Sanshi visited and joked with him about his duties in the Dou Ling Empire.

• Huo Yuhao concluded that the Sun Moon Empire had lost its chance to force a decisive battle and would have to watch him grow stronger.
• Old I gathered Xuan Ziwen and Shrek’s Rank Eight and above Soul Engineers to repair the Sea God Douluo’s Sea God Helmet while Huo Yuhao spent time with Wang Dong’er.
• Seven days later, Huo Yuhao sold grilled fish at a Shrek Academy stall as Wang Dong’er prepared more fish with her Dark Gold Terror Claw.
• Xu Sanshi arrived at the stall, bought food with Gold Soul Coins and Silver Soul Coins, and asked Huo Yuhao to stop teasing him about leaving work in the Dou Ling Empire to Nannan.

Huo Yuhao grilled fish and Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear tenderloin for Shrek students while hoping to attract Rong Nianbing's attention. He later teased Wang Dong'er as she managed their accounts, and she scolded him for his extravagant spending.

• Xu Sanshi explained that he had avoided building political ties in the Dou Ling Empire to make future reforms easier for Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao served Xu Sanshi grilled North Sea Soul Beast sardines and Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear tenderloin, impressing him and the students waiting in line.
• Huo Yuhao wondered why his food had not drawn Rong Nianbing out and suspected someone still had a powerful hold over Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao embraced Wang Dong'er while she checked the accounts, and she warned him that his spending could leave them penniless.

Huo Yuhao received the repaired Sea God Helmet, which Electrolux modified into a powerful helmet that boosted his Mental Detection and granted instant defensive abilities. Electrolux equipped it to protect Huo Yuhao as he continued his dangerous path as a close-combat mage.

• Old I repaired the Sea God Helmet, and Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao to wait until he had absorbed his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones before attempting to condense Divine Armor.
• Electrolux cleared the Sea God's Divine Sense imprint from the helmet's gem and replaced it with his own, transforming the helmet's appearance and power.
• Huo Yuhao put on the modified helmet and discovered that it tripled the range of his Mental Detection.
• Electrolux demonstrated that the helmet could instantly summon sixteen Soul Douluo-level abominations to guard Huo Yuhao.
• Electrolux said he had added the guards because he feared his close-combat-focused disciple would get himself killed.

Huo Yuhao returned to Devil Forest with Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, planning to use its Heavenly Tribulation as bait for the Evil Emperor. After reclaiming control of Qiankun Asking Love Valley, he used the Law God Helmet to prepare for the God Realm’s time flow.

• Huo Yuhao left Shrek City, determined to gather power and restore the world’s former tranquility.
• Huo Yuhao flew invisibly through Devil Forest with Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which agreed to undergo its hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation there in exchange for his help.
• Huo Yuhao planned to draw the Evil Emperor toward Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which could help it survive its approaching eight-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
• Huo Yuhao returned to Qiankun Asking Love Valley and revealed its true form, feeling empowered by his ownership of the small plane.
• Huo Yuhao used the Law God Helmet and his Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core to protect his Mental Power from the God Realm’s accelerated time flow.

Huo Yuhao entered the Angel God Temple through the connection at Qiankun Asking Love Valley and discovered that it held an immense reserve of the Angel God’s accumulated faith. He suspected Tang San wanted control of Douluo Continent partly to obtain the temple’s ownerless faith, and the chapter left him considering how Tang San might gain access to it.

• Huo Yuhao connected his Mental Power from Qiankun Asking Love Valley to the God Realm and entered the Angel God Temple.
• Huo Yuhao explored the vast temple and wondered why its throne was built for a God over a hundred meters tall.
• Huo Yuhao sensed the enormous Power of Faith gathered around the Angel God Throne and compared it with his own and Tang San’s reserves.
• Huo Yuhao considered how Spirit Hall’s legacy had gathered faith for the Angel God over thousands of years.
• Huo Yuhao suspected Tang San coveted both Douluo Continent’s faith and the ownerless faith in the Angel God Temple, and wondered whether Tang San could convert it for himself.

Huo Yuhao discovered that the Power of Faith in the Angel God Temple was flowing through the passage his Mental Power had opened, and he suspected the Mother of All Souls was behind it. He reflected on how Tang San had failed the Mother of All Souls’ hopes and left Douluo Continent’s development stagnant.

• Huo Yuhao noticed the Angel God Temple’s Power of Faith forming a vortex and pouring into the passage his Mental Power had used to enter the God Realm.
• Huo Yuhao suspected Tang San had wanted the temple’s Power of Faith but had been unable to access it, and he connected its escape to the Mother of All Souls.
• Huo Yuhao reasoned that the Mother of All Souls chose people and races to advance Douluo Continent, first backing the Angel God and later Tang San for the new knowledge he could bring.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that Tang San had hidden his knowledge, destroyed Spirit Hall, and worsened the oppression of commoners and the barriers to Martial Soul Awakening.
• Huo Yuhao contrasted Spirit Hall’s era, when ordinary people could rise and establish new sects, with the ten thousand years of stagnation after its fall.

Huo Yuhao considered how Mother of All Souls had empowered him to oppose Tang San, then explored the God Realm and searched for a God connected to Emotion Power. He left the Angel God Temple disguised as Oscar and cautiously approached a picturesque valley.

• Huo Yuhao reasoned that Mother of All Souls had filled him with ten thousand years of accumulated Power of Faith to make him a rival to Tang San.
• Huo Yuhao considered bringing Immortal Spirit Qi to Douluo Continent but decided against it for fear of attracting attention in the God Realm.
• Huo Yuhao found the Angel God Temple empty and suspected the First Generation Angel God had escaped the God Realm after severing herself from her Godhead and Divine Position.
• Huo Yuhao used his vertical pupil to trace different kinds of Power of Faith and spotted a valley surrounded by Emotion Power.
• Huo Yuhao disguised himself as Oscar and cautiously headed toward the valley, hoping to meet its owner without triggering defenses.

Huo Yuhao reached the God Realm valley and pretended to be Oscar to get inside, claiming he had come to thank its residents over Qiankun Asking Love Valley. He left the elderly man believing his story, while the golden-haired man inside the cabin noticed something was amiss.

• Huo Yuhao approached the valley through clouds of Immortal Spirit Qi and waited for someone to notice him.
• An elderly man and a golden-haired man discussed Oscar while preparing food in a wooden cabin.
• The elderly man confronted Huo Yuhao, who used Oscar’s appearance and voice and claimed he had come to settle an unfinished matter.
• Huo Yuhao said he had come to thank the old man for frightening Ning Rongrong’s suitor, and the old man accepted his explanation.
• The golden-haired man looked toward the gate in surprise and confusion as Huo Yuhao’s bluff depended on his imitation of Oscar.

Huo Yuhao, disguised as Oscar, spoke with Cha Ji and Rong Nianbing in the God Realm before Rong Nianbing recognized him by his killing intent. Huo Yuhao revealed that he had entered the God Realm through a port at Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

• Qian Daoliu recalled missing his chance to kill Tang San and explained that his observations of the Shrek Seven Devils had helped Huo Yuhao mimic Oscar's voice.
• Cha Ji criticized Tang San for restricting Gods from choosing successors on the Douluo Continent, while Huo Yuhao stayed silent.
• Rong Nianbing recognized Huo Yuhao beneath his Oscar disguise by sensing his powerful killing intent.
• Cha Ji realized Huo Yuhao was the person Rong Nianbing often praised and warmly welcomed him.
• Rong Nianbing asked how Huo Yuhao's Mental Power reached the God Realm, and Huo Yuhao said he had found a port on the Douluo Continent.
• Rong Nianbing guessed the port was Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and Huo Yuhao confirmed it.

Huo Yuhao learned from Rong Nianbing that Tang San had blocked the God Realm’s access to the Douluo Continent and prevented other gods from finding successors. Rong Nianbing explained his desire to leave the God Realm and revealed he had brought eight wives with him, while Huo Yuhao questioned why Tang San had not brought Bai Chenxiang to the God Realm.

• Rong Nianbing told Huo Yuhao that Tang San had turned away gods seeking successors and sealed the God Realm’s public observation access to the Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao realized Tang San’s control had prevented others from inheriting God Positions for ten thousand years.
• Rong Nianbing admitted he planned to pass on his God Position and leave the God Realm to explore the universe with his family.
• Cha Ji revealed that Rong Nianbing had brought eight wives to the God Realm, prompting Huo Yuhao to marvel at how he kept them all equally happy.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Ma Hongjun’s companion Bai Chenxiang had failed to become a god and asked why Tang San had not brought her to the God Realm.

Rong Nianbing and Huo Yuhao uncovered why Ma Hongjun failed to inherit the Fire God’s position, while Cha Ji recognized the motive behind Tang San’s actions. They concluded that Tang San had used the inheritance trial to keep Ma Hongjun from joining the Elemental Gods’ alliance.

• Huo Yuhao explained that Bai Chenxiang had died on the Douluo Continent while Ma Hongjun’s descendant studied at Shrek Academy, prompting Rong Nianbing to question why some relatives had not ascended.
• Cha Ji urged Rong Nianbing to consider Tang San’s actions from the perspective of self-interest, and Rong Nianbing realized Tang San had sought to prevent Ma Hongjun from inheriting the Fire God’s position.
• Rong Nianbing explained that Ma Hongjun’s inheritance would have separated him from the other six Elemental Gods, while the Fire God and Water God were expected to pass on their positions together.
• Rong Nianbing revealed that Tang San had asked the Fire God to let Ma Hongjun attempt the inheritance, leading the Fire God to set an impossibly difficult trial.
• Rong Nianbing said Ma Hongjun persisted through the Seventh Trial despite failing to inherit the position, which was why the Fire God praised him.

Rong Nianbing explained how Tang San manipulated Ma Hongjun by withholding the Phoenix God’s inheritance and revealed why the Water God’s chosen inheritor died before the inheritance could be passed on. To prove that first-class gods and God Kings could bring more than two relatives to the God Realm, Rong Nianbing took Huo Yuhao to the God Realm Committee.

• Rong Nianbing and Huo Yuhao deduced that Tang San had helped the God of Fire’s inheritance go to Ji Dong, leaving Ma Hongjun guilty and dependent on him.
• Rong Nianbing explained that the Water God’s inheritor was already old when Ji Dong began to emerge, and died after exhausting their lifespan before Ma Hongjun and Ji Dong reached their mortal peaks.
• Huo Yuhao guessed that Ning Rongrong had revealed the secrets, but Rong Nianbing said he had heard them from the God of War and the God of Speed.
• Rong Nianbing offered to prove the rule about gods bringing relatives by taking Huo Yuhao to the God Realm Committee, and Huo Yuhao attached his Mental Power to the Morning Dew Blade.
• Rong Nianbing nodded to Cha Ji and vanished from the valley with Huo Yuhao.

The God of Destruction resented Tang San’s control of the God Realm and his resistance to expansion, and he considered how Tang San’s strong alliances limited his options. Rong Nianbing arrived at the God Realm Committee with an important matter to discuss, leaving the God of Destruction curious about his purpose.

• The God of Destruction monitored the lower realms while considering how to expand the God Realm during Tang San’s seclusion.
• Destruction recalled his clashes with Tang San over the God Realm’s rules, expansion, and Tang San’s growing faction.
• Destruction reflected that Tang San’s allies made it difficult to oppose him directly.
• Rong Nianbing arrived at the God Realm Committee, and Destruction asked what important matter he wanted to discuss.

Rong Nianbing asked the God of Destruction about whether Huo Yuhao could bring family members when ascending to the God Realm. The God of Destruction confirmed there was no such restriction, accused Tang San of lying, and offered to protect Huo Yuhao if he inherited Rong Nianbing’s God Position.

• Rong Nianbing told the God of Destruction that he had found Huo Yuhao as a promising inheritor and wanted to clarify the God Realm’s rules about bringing family members.
• Rong Nianbing explained that Tang San had claimed First Class Deities could bring only two people, making Huo Yuhao worry he would have to leave his family behind.
• The God of Destruction angrily denied that the God Realm had ever imposed such a limit and said Tang San had deceived Huo Yuhao.
• The God of Destruction said Rong Nianbing could pursue Huo Yuhao on his own, but could not use the public lower-realm connector before Tang San completed his Shura God Trial.
• The God of Destruction offered to look after Huo Yuhao if Tang San tried to cause him trouble after he reached the God Realm.
• Rong Nianbing thanked the God of Destruction and left, anticipating that Huo Yuhao might soon confront Tang San.

God of Destruction told God of Life that Sea God had lied about the God Realm’s rules and obstructed its expansion, while God of Life questioned the judgment of Kindness and Evil. The chapter ended with God of Destruction condemning Kindness and Evil as unfit to have entrusted the God Realm to Sea God.

• God of Life arrived at the God Realm Committee after Emotion God departed and asked God of Destruction why Emotion God had visited.
• God of Destruction explained that Sea God had falsely claimed First Class Deities could bring only two family members to the God Realm, refusing to bring Ma Hongjun’s partner, Bai Chenxiang.
• God of Destruction accused Sea God of repeatedly violating God Realm rules himself and obstructing expansion, leaving talented mortals unable to ascend before their lifespans ended.
• God of Life agreed that Sea God’s refusal was puzzling but wondered whether Kindness and Evil could really have entrusted the God Realm to the wrong person.
• God of Destruction erupted in anger and declared that Kindness and Evil were unqualified to govern the God Realm.
