Chapter Summaries

Aserine fused her Eighth Soul Ring but collapsed from the strain, so Zhongli carried her to Jialing Pass and found them a room at an inn. He left her resting there while using Geo Elemental Power to aid her physical recovery, though she remained unconscious.

• Aserine resisted the Eighth Soul Ring’s will and successfully fused it, but her weakened will and depleted strength left her on the verge of fainting.
• Zhongli told Aserine to sleep, carried her toward Jialing Pass, and subdued two Soul King guards with Planet Befall when they tried to stop him.
• Zhongli offered a golden God's Eye as payment at an inn, where the owner auctioned it to a wealthy guest for two Gold Soul Coins.
• Zhongli put the Gold Soul Coin in Aserine’s pocket and carried her upstairs to a room.
• Zhongli laid Aserine on the bed and used Geo Elemental Power to support her physical recovery while she remained unconscious.

Zhongli tested his unfinished Geo mask and rejected the Earth God’s offer of a God Trial, realizing the god wanted to seize the mask. He lured the Earth God toward a confrontation while secretly mobilizing Lonely Cloud Peak, then left Aserine under a protective barrier and set out as the Earth God watched.

• Zhongli tested the mask’s enhancements and burst stage, then refused the Earth God’s offer of a divine inheritance and asserted that the mask was his property.
• The Earth God tried to probe the mask with his spiritual power, but its Geo authority repelled him and injured his spirit, stirring his greed for it.
• Zhongli decided the Earth God was an enemy, baited him with an insult, and secretly prepared to summon Lonely Cloud Peak as a weapon.
• The Earth God concealed his presence and watched Zhongli, while Zhongli returned to Aserine and promised to find medicine to cure her illness.
• Zhongli placed a protective barrier around Aserine, mobilized Lonely Cloud Peak, and left the house as the Earth God saw an opportunity to act.

BiBi Dong and Narukami each tried to interpret why Zhongli had recalled Lonely Cloud Peak, while Zhongli lured the Earth God into an ambush. Zhongli sent the mountain plunging from space and trapped the Earth God beneath its path, leaving the impact imminent.

• BiBi Dong concluded that Zhongli had killed the Rakshasa God to protect Mo Yuqing and decided to treat God's Eye users favorably.
• Narukami followed Lonely Cloud Peak, mistook its flight for Zhongli preparing to fight at full strength, and prevented heavenly punishment from striking it.
• The Earth God descended to ambush Zhongli, while Zhongli led him into the wilderness and released Lonely Cloud Peak into a rapid fall from space.
• Narukami realized Lonely Cloud Peak was a devastating falling weapon and separated from it to escape the impact.
• Zhongli transformed into a Golden Yellow Divine Dragon and used Sky Dome Spear Prison to immobilize the Earth God beneath Lonely Cloud Peak's descent.

Zhongli killed the Earth God with Lonely Cloud Peak, creating the Rock Fracture Great Abyss, and began reshaping the Earth God's godhood into one of his own. As the power of Zhongli's strike alarmed Narukami, the Ferocious Beasts, and the Silver Dragon King, she took human form and chose the name Gu Yue Na.

• The Earth God regained his Geo Elemental Power but found the ground drained of energy, and Zhongli's Lonely Cloud Peak shattered his defenses and killed him.
• Zhongli chose to absorb the Earth God's godhood and began fusing it with his own authorities, Spirit Rings, will, and Elemental Power.
• Narukami saw the abyss left by the strike and feared its God King-level power would let the God Realm detect Zhongli.
• The Ferocious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest witnessed the explosion, while the Silver Dragon King sensed Zhongli's Geo Elemental Power and worried about her slow recovery.
• The Silver Dragon King transformed into a childlike human form, named herself Gu Yue Na, and set out to find a way to recover faster.
• Zhongli summoned Lonely Cloud Peak and fused it with Vortex Vanquisher, creating a super divine artifact that contained a living ecosystem.

Zhongli completed his Seventh Soul Ring and began absorbing it alongside a divine position, drawing the attention of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. As the God of Destruction attacked him, Narukami intervened, leaving her to face two God Kings despite knowing she could not defeat them.

• Zhongli completed his Seventh Soul Ring, but the strain of absorbing it and a divine position briefly left him unconscious.
• The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life sensed a God King-level power in the Douluo World and descended to investigate.
• The gods discovered Zhongli at Rock Fracture Great Abyss and suspected he had killed the Earth God with Vortex Vanquisher.
• The God of Destruction swung the Scepter of Destruction at Zhongli while the Goddess of Life watched for a hidden God King.
• Narukami chose to intervene and used lightning to deflect the attack, then faced the two God Kings despite knowing she could not defeat them.

Narukami used Zhongli’s Vortex Vanquisher and mask to face the God of Destruction, discovering that the spear weighed eight hundred billion tons. She smashed him out of the sky with one blow, but Zhongli warned that the Goddess of Life could heal him, so the battle was not over.

• Zhongli lent Narukami the Vortex Vanquisher and mask, explaining that the spear’s weight would return to eight hundred billion tons when she attacked.
• Narukami infused the mask and spear with Lightning Elemental Power and Lightning Element Authority, greatly amplifying her strength.
• The God of Destruction attacked Narukami with Nirvana Divine Lightning, but she struck back with Myriad Tribulations Lightning Burial and the Vortex Vanquisher.
• The Vortex Vanquisher broke through the God of Destruction’s lightning and smashed into his Scepter of Destruction with its full weight, sending him crashing toward the ground.
• The Goddess of Life rushed to the fallen God of Destruction, while Zhongli warned Narukami that her opponent could recover through healing.

After Narukami drove off the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, Zhongli revealed his newly increased power and asked Narukami to help defend the world from invaders expected in a little over two months. He sent Lonely Cloud Peak back toward Kela City and headed for Jialing Pass, where its impact seemed to have caused trouble.

• The Goddess of Life healed the badly injured God of Destruction, then carried him back to the God Realm.
• Narukami offered to attack the God Realm, but Zhongli refused, saying a calamity from another world would soon threaten it.
• Narukami admitted she had known about the other world's gaze and agreed to help Zhongli protect the world from invaders expected in a little over two months.
• Zhongli explained that absorbing the Earth God's power had made him roughly as strong as an energy-depleted God King, and he gained new Soul Skills and Divine Armament Forging.
• Narukami left to claim a nearby ridge mountain for her Thunder God Mountain, while Zhongli hurled Lonely Cloud Peak back toward Kela City.
• Zhongli set off for Jialing Pass to find Aserine and noticed that the pass's walls appeared to have been knocked crooked.

Zhongli planned to break through the Abyss quickly and support the God Realm, but his preparations were interrupted when he met a lost little girl who was secretly the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na. The chapter left them bargaining over a Sunset Fruit in exchange for Zhongli pinching her cheek once.

• Zhongli decided to prioritize obtaining the Wind Element Power of Authority and coordinate an assault through the Abyss before the God Realm fell.
• Gu Yue Na approached Zhongli outside Jialing Pass and said she was lost, while both remarked that they seemed familiar to each other.
• Zhongli questioned why Gu Yue Na was alone in a dangerous place, and she insisted she was strong enough to be there.
• Zhongli introduced himself and asked her name, but Gu Yue Na insisted that he call her Na Na.
• Zhongli offered Gu Yue Na a Sunset Fruit in exchange for pinching her cheeks, and she agreed after bargaining for two fruits before accepting one pinch because he had only one left.

Zhongli restored much of Jialing Pass with his Geo authority, revealing his divine power to the residents and gathering their faith. He left the grateful people behind and continued toward Aserine with Gu Yue Na.

• Zhongli promised Gu Yue Na Sunset Fruits if she called him something affectionate, and she repeatedly called him Daddy to get more fruit and a ride on his shoulders.
• Zhongli and Gu Yue Na entered Jialing Pass and saw homes and walls ruined by the shockwave from Guyun Stone Forest's fall.
• Zhongli asked Gu Yue Na whether she believed in miracles, then used his Geo authority to rebuild the stone buildings and city walls of Jialing Pass.
• The residents cheered and gathered around Zhongli, while their faith began to accumulate and Zhongli grew weary from the enormous expenditure of divine power.
• Aserine apologized to Zhongli and called him Master, surprising Gu Yue Na, before Zhongli told her they were leaving.

Zhongli and Gu Yue Na encountered a ten-thousand-year White Tiger in the Soul Beast Forest, and Aserine subdued it as a potential mount. Gu Yue Na tried to hide her identity as the Silver Dragon King by acting like Zhongli’s hungry daughter, while Zhongli continued to doubt who she really was.

• Zhongli sensed a large Soul Beast approaching and told Aserine to capture it alive as a possible mount.
• Aserine revealed her powerful God's Eye and subdued the White Tiger, binding it with Geo restraints and frightening it into obedience.
• Gu Yue Na noticed Aserine's God's Eye and its powerful amplification, then concealed her alarm by asking Zhongli for fruit and calling him Dad.
• Zhongli gave Gu Yue Na a Sunset Fruit and wondered whether she was truly the Silver Dragon King.
• Zhongli called the captured White Tiger trash, and Aserine offered to find another mount, leaving the White Tiger terrified of being killed.

Zhongli, Gu Yue Na, Aserine, and the subdued White Tiger stopped for the night as rain approached, and Aserine built them a villa and a shelter for White Tiger. Inside, Gu Yue Na discovered that Zhongli’s tea restored her strength, but he gave her Violetgrass to eat instead.

• White Tiger surrendered to Gu Yue Na and was accepted as their mount after Aserine threatened her.
• Gu Yue Na asked Zhongli for another God's Eye, but he gave her a nonfunctional Geo Element God's Eye mold instead.
• Zhongli refused to give Gu Yue Na Sunset Fruits indefinitely, so she ate one while Aserine prepared a place to stay.
• Aserine built a modern villa and a separate shelter for White Tiger, whose brazier warmed her as rain threatened.
• Gu Yue Na drank Zhongli's tea and felt her power recover, then ate a Violetgrass fruit he gave her.

Zhongli explained that Aserine’s powerful God’s Eye came from her tireless cultivation, prompting Gu Yue Na to begin cultivating in earnest. The chapter ended with Gu Yue Na committing to work hard and Tang San acknowledging how far he still fell short of Aserine.

• Aserine sensed that Gu Yue Na had examined her, then continued strengthening her God’s Eye and Artifacts while preparing dinner.
• Gu Yue Na asked Zhongli why Aserine’s God’s Eye was stronger, and he explained that Aserine cultivated far more diligently.
• Zhongli told Gu Yue Na to build a habit of intensive cultivation, and she eventually began cultivating on the sofa herself.
• Zhongli woke Gu Yue Na for dinner, and she resolved to keep cultivating diligently after seeing Aserine’s dedication.
• At Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, Du Gu Bo told Tang San that he still could not compare with Aserine, and Tang San agreed.

Du Gu Bo took Tang San to Kela City so he could cultivate near Lonely Cloud Peak, while Spirit Hall Academy students trained at its foot under guard. Mo Yuqing stayed behind when Narukami was absent and rejected Hua Banhao’s invitation to climb the mountain.

• Du Gu Bo secured Tang San’s leave and set out with him for Lonely Cloud Peak, while Tang Hao followed behind them unnoticed.
• Chi Tianxiang warned the Spirit Hall Academy students not to enter the sacred mountains and allowed them to cultivate at the foot of the mountain.
• BiBi Dong recalled that Zhongli had used Lonely Cloud Peak as a weapon to kill the Earth God and severely wound the God of Destruction.
• Chi Tianxiang noticed Mo Yuqing among the students and remembered how she had nearly injured him during last year’s entrance examination.
• Hua Banhao invited Mo Yuqing to climb the mountain with him, but she refused because the teachers forbade it and his Soul Power was too low.

Mo Yuqing formed a squad with Hua Banhao, Luo Xueming, and Hai Tengwei to explore Lonely Cloud Peak after Sakura said Narukami had gone into seclusion and offered to train her. The group began introducing their abilities before setting out, and Hua Banhao started describing his Soul Skills.

• Hai Tengwei and Luo Xueming asked to join Mo Yuqing and Hua Banhao, and Hua Banhao charged Hai Tengwei one Gold Soul Coin for a Choco, giving Luo Xueming a cut.
• Sakura appeared to Mo Yuqing alone and explained that Narukami had entered seclusion to break through, so Sakura would handle Mo Yuqing's training.
• Sakura urged Mo Yuqing to gain teamwork experience and suggested forming a four-person squad to explore Lonely Cloud Peak, promising to help if danger arose.
• After Sakura vanished, Mo Yuqing invited Hua Banhao, Luo Xueming, and Hai Tengwei to climb the mountain with her, and they agreed.
• Luo Xueming introduced her Ice Element Soul Skills, then Hua Banhao began describing his abilities as a Three Ring Soul Grandmaster.

Hua Banhao explained his unusual Soul Skills, then revealed that all three of his Spirit Rings were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, stunning Hai Tengwei. The group turned to Mo Yuqing, whose strength Hai Tengwei expected to be far less extraordinary.

• Hua Banhao described how his Undying Body and Ghost King's Power strengthened his body and Martial Soul.
• Hai Tengwei doubted Hua Banhao could have absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring as his third and challenged him to show his rings.
• Hua Banhao released three red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, leaving Hai Tengwei dumbfounded.
• Hai Tengwei reflected that Hua Banhao had always been inhumanly strong and assumed Mo Yuqing was only around his level.
• Hua Banhao, Luo Xueming, and Hai Tengwei turned to Mo Yuqing for her introduction.

Mo Yuqing revealed that she had six powerful Spirit Rings, shocking Hua Banhao, Luo Xueming, and Hai Tengwei as the group prepared to search for God's Eyes. Meanwhile, Tang San and Du Gu Bo traveled toward Kela City, where Tang San used the Grass Element and Blue Silver Grass's life force to restore his stamina.

• Mo Yuqing revealed her six unusual Spirit Rings and said she had defeated a Soul Douluo head-on, leaving Hai Tengwei and the others stunned.
• Hua Banhao vowed to surpass Mo Yuqing, and his God's Eye strengthened his physical constitution in response to his determination.
• Hai Tengwei admitted he had four rings and wanted a fire-type God's Eye, so Mo Yuqing proposed that the group explore Ice God Mountain first and Fire God Mountain afterward.
• Tang San and Du Gu Bo stopped during their journey toward Kela City because Tang San could not keep traveling at their current pace.
• Tang San sensed the Grass Element and Blue Silver Grass's life force, using them to recover his strength and improve his endurance.

Mo Yuqing and her companions climbed Ice God Mountain, where the extreme cold tested Hai Tengwei’s ability to keep up. Hua Banhao promised to gather Flame Crystals for Hai Tengwei, then led the group through the snow and grew stronger as the mountain tempered him.

• At the foot of Ice God Mountain, Mo Yuqing worried that Hai Tengwei would run out of Soul Power, but Hai Tengwei used a Flame Crystal to sustain his Fire Element.
• Hua Banhao promised to mine Flame Crystals for Hai Tengwei and persuaded him to call him Boss, though Hua Banhao then quietly asked Luo Xueming how the crystals were mined.
• Luo Xueming explained that Flame Crystals could only be broken with pure physical strength, and Hua Banhao vowed to fulfill his promise despite having only three rings.
• Hua Banhao led the group up Ice God Mountain, shielding Luo Xueming, Hai Tengwei, and Mo Yuqing from the fierce wind as they struggled through the snow.
• When Mo Yuqing called for him to slow down, Hua Banhao realized he was not yet strong enough to protect his companions and grew stronger, raising his Soul Power by one level.

Hua Banhao’s team climbed Ice God Mountain and found a blue God's Eye, which Luo Xueming used to strengthen her cultivation and ease her frostbite. As the team began its descent, Hua Banhao concealed his own severe frostbite and continued leading them.

• Tang San reached Soul Power level thirty-five, and Du Gu Bo warned him that he still fell far behind top-tier geniuses like Aserine.
• Hua Banhao’s team continued climbing Ice God Mountain, gaining levels and improving their cultivation despite the worsening cold.
• Hua Banhao spotted a blue light, cautiously approached it, and found a God's Eye beneath the snow.
• Luo Xueming used the God's Eye and felt her cultivation speed increase while her frostbite symptoms eased.
• Hua Banhao checked his teammates for frostbite without realizing his own wrists had turned dark bluish purple, then led the team down the mountain.

Aserine absorbed her Seventh Soul Ring into her body and became stronger despite dropping from seven rings to six, while Gu Yue Na struggled to understand the process. The chapter ended with Aserine preparing to keep strengthening her body and Gu Yue Na wondering whether Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent had misunderstood cultivation.

• Zhongli explained to Gu Yue Na that Aserine's Eighth Soul Ring had been fake and watched her absorb the Seventh Soul Ring.
• The White Tiger considered attacking Zhongli, Gu Yue Na, and Aserine, but reconsidered after sensing Gu Yue Na's terrifying aura and suspecting Zhongli was powerful.
• Gu Yue Na demanded food from Zhongli, ate Violetgrass, and threatened to eat the White Tiger if it touched her food.
• Gu Yue Na noticed that she had grown while Zhongli's appearance remained unchanged and wondered whether he was deliberately maintaining his child form.
• Aserine completed the absorption without losing consciousness, became stronger, and concluded that directly strengthening her body was more effective than strengthening her Spirit Rings.
• Gu Yue Na remained bewildered by Aserine's increased strength and questioned whether Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent were cultivating incorrectly.

After escaping Ice God Mountain, Mo Yuqing grew stronger as she resolved to pursue Zhongli, while Tang San advanced rapidly under Du Gu Bo’s guidance. Tang Hao challenged Du Gu Bo over his self-created Spirit Ring, and their battle began with Tang Hao revealing his God of Slaughter Domain.

• Hua Banhao carried the frostbitten Hai Tengwei off Ice God Mountain while Mo Yuqing helped Luo Xueming recover, and Luo Xueming persuaded Hua Banhao to visit her home.
• Mo Yuqing realized Luo Xueming’s invitation was romantic, then thought of Zhongli and resonated with her God's Eye to strengthen herself; Sakura watched the group leave from the mountain.
• One day later, Tang San gained a Soul Power level while Du Gu Bo returned to Nine Rings, and Tang Hao confronted Du Gu Bo about creating and absorbing his own Spirit Ring.
• Du Gu Bo agreed to fight Tang Hao away from Tang San, revealed his Jade Scale Divine Dragon Martial Soul and powerful Spirit Rings, and chose to fight without Soul Skills.
• Tang Hao unleashed his Great Sumeru Hammer and God of Slaughter Domain, while Du Gu Bo recognized the domain’s divine aura and prepared for a more difficult fight.
