Chapter Summaries

Yun Chuan used the energy stored in the Sumeru Grotto-heaven to travel back in time and reach the night Qian Xunji was about to violate Bibi Dong. He stopped the attack and left Bibi Dong unharmed, but his plan to preserve Qian Renxue's existence remained unresolved.

• Yun Chuan decided to travel into the past despite the risks of changing history and the possibility that saving Bibi Dong would erase Qian Renxue.
• Yun Chuan drained the Sumeru Grotto-heaven's stored energy and traveled upstream along the Douluo universe's tributary to the time he sought.
• Yun Chuan sensed Bibi Dong in Spirit City and teleported into the sealed chamber where Qian Xunji was about to remove her clothes.
• Yun Chuan knocked Qian Xunji unconscious, moved him away from Bibi Dong, and kicked him several times.
• Yun Chuan resisted touching the sleeping Bibi Dong and reaffirmed that he would not take advantage of her helplessness.

Yun Chuan created an embryo from Qian Xunji’s Angel Source and placed it inside Bibi Dong to ensure Qian Renxue’s birth without violating Bibi Dong. The embryo conflicted with Bibi Dong’s Soul Power, so Yun Chuan began using the Five Elements Power to help her body accept it.

• Yun Chuan extracted more than half of Qian Xunji’s Angel Source, crippling his Martial Soul and preventing him from advancing further.
• Yun Chuan purified and nurtured the Angel Source until it became a life embryo, then confirmed the process was feasible with his Eye of Destiny.
• Yun Chuan opened a spatial rift above Bibi Dong’s abdomen and placed the embryo inside her uterus.
• Yun Chuan discovered that Bibi Dong’s body rejected the embryo because it had not been formed from her bloodline.
• Yun Chuan enveloped Bibi Dong in Five Elements Light to regulate her body and help it adapt to the embryo.

Yun Chuan ensured Bibi Dong and her unborn daughter survived, then used fabricated memories and illusions to keep events on their expected course. After secretly delivering Qian Renxue and confirming her identity, he prepared to return from his journey through time and space.

• Yun Chuan safely conditioned Bibi Dong's body for the Angel Source life embryo and realized this had caused her to keep producing milk while nursing him.
• Yun Chuan altered Qian Xunji's memories and planted a command forbidding him from touching Bibi Dong again, then used an illusion to make Bibi Dong believe Qian Xunji had assaulted her and threatened Yu Xiaogang.
• Yun Chuan watched Bibi Dong reject Yu Xiaogang, saw her break down in private, and secretly protected and nourished her throughout her pregnancy.
• When Bibi Dong went into labor, Yun Chuan put her and the midwives into an illusion and used a spatial rift to remove the newborn Qian Renxue.
• Yun Chuan confirmed the baby was the Qian Renxue he knew and decided it was time to return.

After returning to his own era, Yun Chuan considered whether to tell Bibi Dong the truth about her past, but decided to keep it hidden. He silently visited Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who were both occupied with official duties, and reflected on their approaching Divine Throne inheritances.

• Yun Chuan returned to his original era and realized that fulfilling his long-held wish left him feeling strangely empty.
• Yun Chuan secretly visited Bibi Dong, debated telling her the truth, and decided to keep it to himself before leaving unnoticed.
• Bibi Dong sensed that someone might have been nearby, dismissed the feeling, and returned to her paperwork as she neared the final step of inheriting the Rakshasa Divine Throne.
• Yun Chuan teleported to the Crown Prince Residence and watched Qian Renxue handle state affairs while thinking of her as his daughter.

Tang San and his companions learned that their Fourth Trial required them to join the Great White Demon Shark in exterminating the Ocean Butcher clan. After resting and preparing on Sea God Island, they went to find the Great White Demon Shark King, and Tang San helped Bai Chenxiang use her Flame Phoenix Domain to draw her attention.

• Tang San and the others discovered that their Fourth Trial was to cooperate with the Great White Demon Shark and eliminate the Ocean Butchers, and they agreed to ask the Great White Demon Shark King about the enemy.
• The group rested and adjusted to their improved strength before spending half a month recovering in Sea Horse City.
• Tang San and his companions decided to begin the Fourth Trial, traveled to the shore, and reflected on how far they had advanced in eight years.
• Tang San flew into the air with Bai Chenxiang and asked her to release her Martial Soul Avatar and domain so the Great White Demon Shark King could sense them.
• Bai Chenxiang transformed into the Flame Phoenix and spread her blazing domain over the nearby sea.

Tang San and Bai Chenxiang summoned the Great White Demon Shark King to learn about their Fourth Trial. Little White described the Ocean Butchers as vicious Sea Soul Beasts, while privately revealing that the Sea God had invented them to delay the group’s progress.

• Tang San boosted Bai Chenxiang’s Mental Power, expanding her Phoenix domain and drawing the Great White Demon Sharks to the surface.
• Tang San absorbed the sharks’ Despair Light Waves with his Mental Power and sent them a message asking to speak with their king.
• The Great White Demon Sharks withdrew, and Little White appeared and warned Tang San and his companions that the Fourth Trial could endanger their lives.
• After the group insisted on hearing the trial details, Little White explained that Ocean Butchers grew stronger by devouring living beings.
• Little White privately revealed that Ocean Butchers did not naturally exist and that the Sea God had fabricated them to delay the group’s growth.

Little White told Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils that their trial required them to help eliminate the hidden Ocean Butchers, then led them into the ocean after one was reportedly found. The group reached a remote stretch of sea, where Little White claimed the target was a 100,000-year Soul Beast and began searching.

• Little White explained that Sea God Your Majesty had ordered the Sea Soul Beasts to search the ocean for Ocean Butchers and said one had been found.
• Tang San and the others agreed to set out with Little White, who summoned two hundred Great White Demon Sharks to carry them into the sea.
• The Shrek Seven Devils rode the sharks through the ocean for two hours before reaching a remote stretch where other Sea Soul Beasts had gathered.
• Little White said the Ocean Butcher was hidden nearby and was at least 100,000 years old, alarming Tang San and the others.
• Little White plunged into the sea and released a powerful wave of Mental Power to search the area.

Tang San and the others witnessed Little White defeat the Ocean Butcher, a powerful sea creature that produced a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Little White kept the Soul Bone but told them Sea God Island had many others and that future trials might reward them with one.

• Tang San searched the sea with his Purple Demon Eyes, but found nothing before a huge whirlpool appeared.
• The Ocean Butcher emerged with Little White and overwhelmed Tang San and the others with its pressure.
• Little White fought and defeated the Ocean Butcher, which left behind a bloody Soul Ring that none of the spectators could absorb.
• Little White cut open the Ocean Butcher and retrieved its 100,000-Year Torso Soul Bone, drawing covetous looks from Tang San and the others.
• Little White refused to give them the Soul Bone and explained that Sea God Island had plenty of Soul Bones and that trials could award them.

After twelve years on Sea God Island, Tang San and his companions passed the Fourth Trial and received Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Their Fifth Trials required them to challenge Sea Douluo, and Tang San proposed a way to help the others pass by defeating their examiners first.

• Tang San and his companions completed the Ocean Butcher sieges and received a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone each as their Fourth Trial reward.
• Tang San learned that he had to defeat all Seven Holy Pillar Guardians within three days, while his companions faced individual Sea Douluo challenges and Ning Rongrong had to support them.
• The group identified their assigned examiners, including Sea Witch Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and Sea Devil Douluo.
• Tang San proposed defeating his companions’ examiners before they challenged them, reasoning that the Sea Douluo would be weakened afterward.

Tang San and his companions agreed that Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, and Ma Hongjun would face their own Titled Douluo trials without his help, allowing Tang San to save his strength for his challenge against all Seven Holy Pillars. At the Sea Horse Holy Pillar, Tang San began his thirty-six-hour trial by confronting Sea Horse Douluo.

• Dai Mubai convinced Tang San to let him, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, and Ma Hongjun clear their trials on their own.
• Tang San and his companions rested for a day and then went to the Sea Horse Holy Pillar to begin the trials.
• Sea Horse Douluo explained that Tang San had thirty-six hours to defeat all Seven Holy Pillars Douluo and that golden flames would mark the time limit.
• Tang San activated his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and Blue Silver True Body as Sea Horse Douluo revealed his nine soul rings and prepared to fight.

Tang San confronted Sea Horse Douluo, whose enhanced strength and soul rings showed how badly the group had underestimated the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians. Tang San began fighting anyway, using his domains and Invincible Golden Body to withstand an attack before trapping Sea Horse Douluo with Devouring Golden Silk.

• Tang San realized Sea Horse Douluo's strength made victory seem impossible but chose to fight so he could understand the Fifth Trial's difficulty.
• Tang San activated his Slaughter God Domain, and Sea Horse Douluo countered its Killing Intent with a defensive ripple barrier.
• Sea Horse Douluo transformed into his Martial Soul Avatar and launched a pincer attack with a massive water fist.
• Tang San used Invincible Golden Body to withstand the attack and pull Sea Horse Douluo into his Blue Silver Domain.
• Tang San drew power from plants on the shore and activated Devouring Golden Silk to ensnare Sea Horse Douluo.

Tang San tested his Blue Silver Domain against Sea Horse Douluo, but realized the guardian was far beyond his strength and conceded the fight. Back at their residence, Tang San told the others that the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians were likely all Super Douluo, leaving the group shaken about how they could pass the trial.

• Tang San used Devouring Golden Silk within his Blue Silver Domain to drain Sea Horse Douluo's energy, but Sea Horse Douluo answered with the powerful Whirlwind Giant Wave Extinction Fist.
• Tang San stopped the battle and conceded, admitting he could not defeat Sea Horse Douluo and would return after cultivating further.
• Sea Horse Douluo accepted Tang San's decision and let him leave with his companions.
• Tang San estimated that Sea Horse Douluo was at least rank ninety-six and said the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians were likely all Super Douluo.
• Ma Hongjun protested that the Sea God might never have intended them to pass the trial, and Tang San warned him to watch his words.

Tang San decided to flee Sea God Island because the fifth trial would take decades to overcome, but Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang chose to stay for the rewards and possibilities their trials offered. The Shrek Seven split up, with the four men preparing to leave and the three women continuing the trials.

• Tang San told the others that they should leave Sea God Island because they could not pass the fifth trial without becoming Titled Douluo.
• Tang San argued that reaching Titled Douluo would take decades and that the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians would grow stronger during that time.
• Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar began considering leaving with Tang San, while Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang hesitated.
• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang explained that they wanted to stay for their trials and the potential transformations of their Martial Souls.
• The Shrek Seven decided to separate, with the four men leaving and the three women remaining on Sea God Island.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang chose to remain on Sea God Island while Tang San and the others secretly escaped. Yun Chuan allowed their departure to avoid exposing his intentions and continued planning to build his strength before confronting the God Realm.

• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang refused Tang San and the others' pleas to leave Sea God Island, saying they wanted to pursue the island's opportunities.
• Tang San and the other three men spent half a month scouting Sea God Island before sneaking out at night using Tang San's domain to evade patrols.
• Tang San took out the Giant Whale Boat, and the four men used it to dive away from Sea God Island while the Great White Demon Sharks were away hunting.
• Yun Chuan and Hai Long watched Tang San's escape on a screen, but Yun Chuan refused to order his capture.
• Yun Chuan decided to conceal his strength and let Tang San go, wary that interfering could draw the Asura God's attention before his own forces were ready.

Yun Chuan decided to build up his forces rather than risk confronting the God Realm before he was ready. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang were summoned to the Sea God Hall after Tang San and the others fled, leaving them wondering why they were being treated with unusual respect.

• Yun Chuan judged that his strength and allies were not yet enough to face the God Realm, so he planned to quietly develop his forces.
• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang anxiously awaited Sea God Island's response to Tang San and the others' escape.
• A woman respectfully summoned the three girls to meet the High Priest, and they followed her to a Tai Chi Bagua formation.
• The formation transported the three girls from Sea Horse City to the Sea God Hall on Sea God Mountain.
• After learning they could enter the forbidden grounds, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang flew toward the Sea God Hall to meet the High Priest.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang were summoned to the Sea God Hall, where Yun Chuan explained that Sea God had spared the four who fled their Divine Trial and was pleased that the three women stayed. He announced Sea God would reward them, but they nervously refused.

• Sea Dragon Douluo led Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang into the Sea God Hall and left them before the High Priest.
• Yun Chuan asked the women why they had been summoned, and they admitted they did not know.
• Yun Chuan explained that the four who fled their trials had not been punished, though God Test Marks could let a deity track and punish them.
• Yun Chuan said Sea God was pleased that the three women had stayed and intended to reward them.
• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang nervously declined the reward.

Yun Chuan altered the three women's Fifth Trial into climbing the first 333 steps beneath Sea God's Light, which they learned could strengthen them as well as test them. At Sea God Mountain, Zhu Zhuqing began the climb and reached the twentieth step before the intensified pressure and rapid Soul Power drain pushed her toward her limit.

• Yun Chuan revealed that the three women's Fifth Trial had changed to climbing the first 333 steps beneath Sea God's Light, with no time limit and permission to withdraw.
• Yun Chuan sent Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Zhu Zhuqing from Sea God Hall to the foot of Sea God Mountain to begin the trial.
• Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang noticed that Sea God's Light felt stronger than during their earlier trial, and Zhu Zhuqing volunteered to test the stairs first.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her Soul Power and Spirit Avatar to overcome the resistance and step onto the first stair, where the pressure rapidly drained her Soul Power.
• Zhu Zhuqing activated enhancement soul skills and climbed to the twentieth stair, where the pressure and Soul Power consumption brought her close to her limit.

Zhu Zhuqing endured the Sea God's Light on the steps, rested and cultivated to recover, then climbed again and broke through to level eighty. After stabilizing her new Soul Power, she woke at night to find Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang waiting nearby.

• Zhu Zhuqing ran out of Soul Power on the twenty-sixth step, and Bai Chenxiang caught her before she fell into the Ring Sea.
• Zhu Zhuqing meditated to recover while Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang also attempted the steps.
• Zhu Zhuqing climbed the steps again, overcame the twenty-sixth step, and broke through the level seventy-nine bottleneck to reach level eighty.
• Zhu Zhuqing retreated from the steps and spent the day consolidating her new Soul Power.
• Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing whether she had broken through to level eighty after she awoke at night.

After three years of cultivating beneath Sea God's Light, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Bai Chenxiang completed the Fifth Trial by climbing all 333 steps. They received God-given Soul Rings as their reward.

• Zhu Zhuqing reached level eighty and decided to wait until after the Fifth Trial before seeking a soul ring.
• Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang agreed to wait as well, and the three women devoted themselves to training under Sea God's Light.
• Over three years, the three women climbed to the 332nd step, delaying completion to keep benefiting from the cultivation pressure.
• Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Bai Chenxiang climbed the final step together and passed the Fifth Trial.
• The Sea God's Light receded, and the three women received the reward of God-given Soul Rings.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang completed their God-given Soul Rings and continued the Sea God's trials, aided in secret by Yun Chuan. Twenty years after arriving on Sea God Island, they finished the Seventh Trial and their Martial Souls evolved.

• Yun Chuan secretly used Five Elements Power to help Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang absorb 100,000-Year God-given Soul Rings.
• The three women received the Sixth Trial, which required them to climb the first 666 steps, and began the challenge.
• Five years later, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang reached the thousandth step while undertaking the Seventh Trial.
• The three women stepped onto the 1,001st step together, completing the Seventh Trial and receiving the reward of complete Martial Soul evolution.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat transformed, Bai Chenxiang's Martial Soul became a Fire Phoenix, and Ning Rongrong's Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
