Chapter Summaries

Zhongli warned Golden Crocodile Douluo to protect Mo Yuqing and demonstrated his command over Mora as he took him beyond the Soul Beast Forest. There, Zhongli revealed his four Golden Soul Rings and summoned Vortex Vanquisher, preparing to store his Martial Soul in the area.

• Zhongli explained that Mo Yuqing's Mora Bracelet contained a God-given Soul Ring and said that a god could grant such a ring to anyone they chose.
• Zhongli warned Golden Crocodile Douluo that harm coming to Mo Yuqing could bring consequences for the world, then used fluid Mora to carry them away from Kela City.

• Zhongli stopped above the plains beyond the Soul Beast Forest and told Golden Crocodile Douluo that he intended to store his Martial Soul there.
• Zhongli revealed four Golden Soul Rings and summoned Vortex Vanquisher, displaying power that surprised Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Zhongli demonstrated his immense Geo power by creating Lonely Cloud Peak, leaving Golden Crocodile Douluo convinced he was nearly a god. Zhongli requested leave from Spirit Hall Academy to seek new ways to grow, and Golden Crocodile Douluo agreed.

• Zhongli infused Vortex Vanquisher with Geo Elemental Power and enlarged his First Soul Skill into the mountain-sized Gigantic Rainbow Piercer.
• Zhongli controlled the spear’s descent and planted it in the plain, where its Geo power transformed the land into Lonely Cloud Peak.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo collapsed in awe and asked whether Zhongli had inherited a divine position.
• Zhongli said he had not become a god but had reached a bottleneck, then requested leave to gain experience.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo agreed and accepted Zhongli’s invitation to bring Mo Yuqing to cultivate on Lonely Cloud Peak.

Zhongli returned home exhausted after creating and controlling Lonely Cloud Peak, while Aserine eagerly tried to cultivate through the night. Aserine mistook Zhongli’s exhausted sleep-talk and Mora Mountain’s growth for signs of his relentless training, and resolved to become strong enough to protect him.

• Zhongli returned home exhausted, having spent immense mental energy controlling Lonely Cloud Peak and most of the liquid Mora creating it.
• Aserine offered Zhongli a massage, and he soon fell asleep as his willpower and energy recovered.
• Aserine carried Zhongli to his room and prepared to leave so she could cultivate all night, but Zhongli murmured that she should sleep properly because he was tired.
• Aserine noticed Mora Mountain gathering Geo Elemental Power and growing, then mistook Zhongli’s sleep-talk for dream cultivation.
• Aserine resolved to become the strongest Maid and protect Zhongli, while her cultivation benefited from the Geo Elemental Power around Mora Mountain.

Zhongli condensed three more Golden Soul Rings, reaching rank seventy-two and unlocking his Martial Soul Avatar, then infused Lonely Cloud Peak with Mora to make it resonate sustainably with Geo Elemental Power. After spending twenty thousand units of Mora, he made the peak a powerful cultivation ground that gathered Geo Elemental Power several times more efficiently.

• Zhongli tried to make Lonely Cloud Peak resonate by raising rock constructs around it, but only the constructs responded.
• Zhongli condensed Golden Soul Rings until he had seven and reached rank seventy-two, then sensed a new kind of power within himself.
• Zhongli considered having Aserine focus on strengthening her physique to slow her Soul Power advancement and reduce the burden on him.
• Zhongli used Mora to give Lonely Cloud Peak the ability to gather Geo Elemental Power and sustain its resonance, spending twenty thousand units.
• Lonely Cloud Peak began resonating fully with the earth, drawing in Geo Elemental Power several times more efficiently and becoming a supreme cultivation ground.

Zhongli transformed Lonely Cloud Peak into a divine mountain by sustaining his Martial Soul True Body with his Seventh Soul Ring and strengthening its Geo resonance. After exhausting his mental strength, he collapsed as Aserine arrived to carry him home.

• Zhongli activated several soul skills and transformed into his powerful human form, drawing Geo Elemental Power toward himself.
• He used his Seventh Soul Skill to transform the Vortex Vanquisher, giving Lonely Cloud Peak a stronger resonance core.
• Zhongli struggled to move his Seventh Soul Ring off his body and expand it around the entire mountain.
• After two hours, the Soul Ring encircled Lonely Cloud Peak, while nearby Geo Spire Mountains resonated with it and drew in Mora Keystones.
• Zhongli collapsed from exhaustion, and Aserine arrived and carried him toward home.

Golden Crocodile Douluo saw a Golden Soul Ring appear around Lonely Cloud Peak and imagined that Zhongli was carrying out a hidden plan. Zhongli woke in his bedroom, where Aserine had cared for him and explained that exhaustion had caused him to faint.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo recalled Zhongli's overwhelming power and arranged for Aserine's leave request to pass without trouble.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo noticed a Golden Soul Ring around Lonely Cloud Peak and suspected Zhongli was executing a scheme.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo concluded that Zhongli had used the timing of Aserine's leave and his own request to keep him from reporting to Spirit Hall that night.
• Zhongli woke in his bedroom, and Aserine told him she had treated his mental exhaustion with a Qingxin Herb.
• Zhongli praised Aserine and rested.

Aserine’s cultivation raised her Soul Power to level 75, and she continued cultivating while attending to the Zhongli household. When Mo Yuqing discovered Aserine’s strength, she began doubting whether she could do anything for Zhongli.

• Zhongli explained that Qingxin Herbs and other Geo materials might grow on Lonely Cloud Peak after Mora Mountain disappeared.
• Aserine’s resolve and God’s Eye helped her break through to Soul Power level 75.
• After school, Mo Yuqing visited the Zhongli home and learned that Zhongli was resting after exhausting his mental strength through cultivation.
• Mo Yuqing sensed Aserine cultivating while she spoke and asked about her Soul Power level.
• Aserine told Mo Yuqing she was level 75, leaving Mo Yuqing questioning her own worth and concluding she could do nothing for Zhongli.

Mo Yuqing asked Aserine how to become stronger and learned that Aserine and Zhongli cultivated far more than she had thought. After seeing Zhongli’s passive power and the Mora Mountain he had built, Mo Yuqing resolved to cultivate sixteen hours a day.

• Mo Yuqing asked Aserine to teach her how to cultivate and grow stronger.
• Aserine said she cultivated whenever she could and had once pushed herself until her master limited her to sixteen hours a day.
• Aserine showed Mo Yuqing that Zhongli continued drawing in Geo Elemental Power while asleep through his Geo Archon talent.
• Aserine explained that Zhongli had gradually formed the Mora Mountain outside with his Geo Elemental Power, time, and effort.
• Mo Yuqing compared her own cultivation to theirs and resolved to work toward cultivating sixteen hours a day.

Aserine told Mo Yuqing that Zhongli was leaving partly to help her grow stronger and master her God's Eye, then urged her to cultivate at Lonely Cloud Peak. Mo Yuqing resolved to work hard so she could reunite with Zhongli, while Aserine privately hoped her longing would intensify over time.

• Aserine entrusted Mo Yuqing with the villa and recommended she cultivate at Lonely Cloud Peak, where Geo Elemental Power could strengthen her God's Eye.
• Mo Yuqing recalled that she had awakened her God's Eye from a simple wish to stay with Zhongli and wondered if that wish's fulfillment had weakened its power.
• Aserine claimed Zhongli was leaving in part because Mo Yuqing needed to become stronger, and Mo Yuqing blamed herself for being weak.
• Aserine set Mo Yuqing goals of reaching Soul Power level seventy in a year, becoming a Titled Douluo in three years, and becoming a god in five years.
• Aserine advised Mo Yuqing to reaffirm her desire every five to eight seconds, and Mo Yuqing vowed to keep working hard.

Zhongli woke to find Mo Yuqing in his bed and misunderstood her words about their relationship, while Ghost Douluo reported to BiBi Dong that Aserine had reached Soul Saint with seven extraordinary Spirit Rings. BiBi Dong was left stunned by the possibility that Aserine possessed five Million Year Soul Rings.

• Zhongli found Mo Yuqing holding him in his sleep, assumed she was part of a dream, and went back to sleep with her in his arms.
• In the morning, Mo Yuqing said she had completed what she wanted and described their relationship as impure, leaving Zhongli confused.
• Ghost Douluo arrived at Pope Hall and told BiBi Dong that Aserine had suddenly revealed seven Spirit Rings and become a Soul Saint.
• Ghost Douluo reported that Aserine’s first two rings were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and her five golden rings might be Million Year Soul Rings.
• BiBi Dong froze in disbelief at the report of Aserine’s Spirit Ring configuration.

BiBi Dong concluded that Zhongli was a godlike power and decided to meet with him, while Qian Daoliu’s growing strength through the God's Eye attracted the Angel God's attention. The Angel God discovered that Qian Daoliu’s pendant converted his wishes into power and recognized it as an ingenious artifact.

• Ghost Douluo told BiBi Dong that Aserine's golden Spirit Rings exerted pressure beyond that of hundred-thousand-year rings, convincing her that they were million-year God-given Soul Rings.
• BiBi Dong decided to stop monitoring Zhongli, avoid offending him, and visit him with Ghost Douluo to discuss her prospects of becoming a god.
• Qian Daoliu strengthened his wish during worship, and the God's Eye increased his power, though he sensed a barrier between himself and godhood.
• The Angel God sensed Qian Daoliu's growth and realized that he had reached demigod strength, far beyond its expectations.
• The Angel God examined Qian Daoliu's pendant and discovered that its scales balanced his wishes and memories against the power it granted him.

The Angel God tried to recreate the God's Eye by using her authority and faith, but discovered that she could not simply put its core inside a rare metal. She changed her approach and successfully created a Six-Winged Angel-shaped God's Eye, though its effect remained untested.

• The Angel God chose a precious golden metal and tried to make it hold her authority, but it failed.
• The Angel God examined Qian Daoliu's God's Eye and realized its creator might have formed the core first and built a simple shell around it.
• The Angel God melted silver metal with Sun True Fire and painstakingly formed a core of authority.
• The Angel God wrapped molten silver around the core and stabilized her newly created God's Eye.
• The Angel God admired the Six-Winged Angel design and said she would judge its worth by its effect.

The Angel God tested her newly created Angel God's Eye on a Zealous Believer, while Qian Daoliu reflected on the power his own God's Eye had granted him and watched BiBi Dong leave Spirit Hall. The chapter left the Angel God disappointed by the pendant's weak effect.

• The Angel God chose a weak Zealous Believer to test her creation, expecting the faith-related pendant to strengthen him.
• Qian Daoliu found that his Spirit Rings had improved and recognized that his God's Eye had made him a half-god without trials.
• Qian Daoliu considered visiting Bo Saixi to show her his strength, then wondered whether things might have gone differently if he had gained power decades earlier.
• Qian Daoliu noticed BiBi Dong leave after Ghost Douluo returned and guessed she was seeking Zhongli's help after comparing God's Eye users with her Rakshasa trials.
• The Angel God's Zealous Believer praised the pendant for nourishing his body, but the Angel God judged its strengthening effect weaker than expected.

The Angel God discovered that Qian Daoliu’s God's Eye contained both Geo God and God of Contracts authority, explaining why her own imitation barely worked. She let Qian Daoliu keep using it so she could examine it more closely, then found it held a startling array of other authorities.

• The Angel God realized Qian Daoliu’s God's Eye contained God of Contracts authority alongside Geo God authority, unlike her own imitation.
• The Angel God watched Qian Daoliu for several minutes as he nervously knelt beneath her gaze.
• Qian Daoliu threw the God's Eye away and apologized for accepting another god’s gift.
• The Angel God reassured Qian Daoliu that she did not mind him using the God's Eye, and it returned to his hand with increased power.
• The Angel God examined the God's Eye and discovered it contained numerous authorities, including those of commerce, precious metals, history, immortality, martial arts, and demons.

The Angel God learned that Zhongli served the Geo Archon, a powerful god from another world, and advised Qian Daoliu to maintain friendly ties with Zhongli. Zhongli left Kela City with a merchant caravan, while Mo Yuqing watched him go and broke down in tears.

• The Angel God questioned Qian Daoliu about his God's Eye, and he explained that Zhongli had given it to him as the Geo Archon's inheritor.
• The Angel God warned Qian Daoliu to remain friendly with Zhongli and privately considered seeking the Geo Archon in another world.
• Zhongli gave Mo Yuqing the key to his home and told her to contact Lonely Cloud Peak with her Mora Bracelet if she faced danger.
• Zhongli and Mo Yuqing exchanged goodbyes before he left with Aserine in a merchant caravan.
• Mo Yuqing ran after the departing caravan, called for Zhongli to take her with him, and collapsed in tears as it disappeared.

Zhongli and Aserine discussed their cultivation during the journey, and Zhongli explained that his strength grew instinctively through Geo Elemental Power. Later, Aserine nearly attacked a young man who approached her, but he claimed he had come to warn her about the young master in a nearby carriage.

• Zhongli told Aserine that he felt something was missing after Mo Yuqing said they had confirmed their relationship and she had slept in his bed.
• Zhongli explained that he was not deliberately cultivating and advised Aserine that tempering her body with Geo Elemental Power was more effective than focusing on Soul Power levels or Spirit Rings.
• Aserine adjusted her cultivation while Zhongli observed her, hoping she would take longer to reach Limit Douluo and give more time to construct Sky Island.
• Aserine left the carriage to gather fresh ingredients, and a young man approached her with a lecherous grin and threatened her little brother.
• Aserine summoned her Gu Hua Greatsword and released her killing intent, but the young man summoned seven Spirit Rings, knelt, and said he had come to warn her that a young master in another carriage had improper intentions toward her.

Aserine intimidated a silver-haired young master and his companions after they threatened the caravan, then returned to searching for ingredients. Zhongli planned to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Sky Island materials, intending to obtain access to Du Gu Bo’s Herb Garden through forceful “communication.”

• Aserine considered killing the caravan members who might cause trouble, but decided to resolve the situation peacefully first.
• Aserine confronted the silver-haired young master and his bodyguards, then flattened part of the forest with her enhanced greatsword to make them comply.
• Aserine left to search for ingredients so she could maintain Zhongli’s quality of life.
• Zhongli weighed several dangerous destinations and chose the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest as his next target.
• Zhongli decided Du Gu Bo’s Herb Garden could be obtained through negotiation backed by force.

As the convoy approached Sunset Forest, Aserine grew stronger after learning Zhongli sought something in a treasured place there. Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo examined Lonely Cloud Peak and realized it served as the Geo Archon’s trial ground, leaving him to wonder whether Zhongli was the Archon’s inheritor.

• The convoy grew wary of Aserine after she revealed her overwhelming strength, and she told Zhongli they would reach Sunset Forest the next day.
• Zhongli dismissed concerns about the Heaven Dou Empire and told Aserine he was seeking something in a treasured place within Sunset Forest.
• Aserine resolved to strengthen herself before they arrived, and her God's Eye raised her Soul Power to level seventy-five with 55% progress.
• Zhongli cultivated Geo Elemental Power from the Mora beneath the moving carriage, gradually replenishing his power and improving his control.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo visited Lonely Cloud Peak and discovered its dense Geo Elemental Power increased cultivation speed while suppressing those who approached.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo concluded that the mountain itself was the Geo Archon’s trial and wondered whether Zhongli was the Archon’s inheritor.

BiBi Dong learned that Lonely Cloud Peak was Zhongli’s Geo Archon Trial Land and saw how greatly it had strengthened Golden Crocodile Douluo. She decided to abandon the Rakshasa God’s trial, cultivate on the mountain, and have Spirit Hall guard it from those who might try to monopolize it.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo told BiBi Dong that Zhongli was likely the Geo Archon and that Lonely Cloud Peak had become his Trial Land.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo explained that the mountain had no God Trial but offered powerful cultivation for anyone whose body could withstand it.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo showed BiBi Dong that less than half a day of cultivation had advanced several of his soul rings, including his ninth ring to the hundred-thousand-year level.
• BiBi Dong decided to live on Lonely Cloud Peak and ordered twelve Spirit Hall elite squads to guard its foot and monitor the clans and imperial forces.
• A light-purple-haired girl looked up at Lonely Cloud Peak and vowed to Zhongli that she would cultivate diligently.

The Rakshasa God discovered that BiBi Dong had failed her trial after exceeding his Soul Power restrictions, then noticed the extraordinary power gathered at Lonely Cloud Peak. He offered BiBi Dong another chance to inherit his divine position, but she refused, leaving him puzzled by her unusual response.

• The Rakshasa God realized BiBi Dong had failed her God Trial after using Soul Power beyond level 98 and investigated what had happened in the lower realm.
• The Rakshasa God saw the immense Geo Elemental Power and authority concentrated at Lonely Cloud Peak and suspected an expert from another world had left an inheritance there.
• BiBi Dong sensed the Rakshasa God and resolved to admit her failure rather than inherit his position.
• The Rakshasa God offered BiBi Dong another chance to become the Rakshasa God, but BiBi Dong declined and urged him to find another successor.
• The Rakshasa God was stunned by BiBi Dong's refusal and wondered what had changed.
