Chapter Summaries

Su Ming and the Shrek group survived a Green Skull attack on their train and reached Star Luo City, where Su Ming gathered rare metals and entered the tournament’s Forging competition. Old Tang urged Tang Wulin to turn against Su Ming, fearing that Ah Yin might mistake Su Ming for her grandson and give him the complete Plane Seed.

• Old Tang told Tang Wulin to oppose Su Ming because he feared Ah Yin would mistake Su Ming for Tang Wulin and complete the Plane Seed she had given Su Ming.

Su Ming stunned the Star Luo City forging competition by demonstrating Life Embryo forging and using an Artificial Soul Spirit to create custom Spirit Forged metal. The third round began with Su Ming preparing to use the Spirit Fusion Method on Star Luo’s Silver Change and a brown bear Soul Spirit.

• The third round tested Fusion Forging, and Su Ming brought out Star Luo Silver Change and a Soul Spirit orb containing a brown bear.

Su Ming used his Spirit Fusion Method to combine two Soul Spirits with Origin Spirit Iron and attempt Soul Forging in the forging competition finals. He appeared to pass an inheritance to the finished metal, leaving En Ci unable to explain his achievement as a shortcut.

Su Ming condensed a prototype Forging Divine Throne and, while meditating, explored the Plane Will spaces of the Dou Yi, Dou Er, and Dou San eras, planning how to claim the Lord of the Plane.

• Su Ming absorbed abundant Forging Faith and condensed a prototype Divine Throne in seclusion.
• Su Ming entered the white Plane Will space, where his counterparts from the Dou Yi and Dou Er eras projected their prototype Divine Thrones.
• Su Ming compared the three eras and planned to seize the Lord of the Plane, beginning with the simpler Dou Yi era.
• After a week of meditation, Su Ming went to watch Tang Wulin’s final match against Long Yue, and Gu Yue joined him in Shrek Academy’s private box.
• Gu Yue recalled warning Di Tian that Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King power was sealed, while Di Tian ordered her to investigate whether Long Yue’s Mountain Dragon King bloodline led to the Dragon Tomb.

Tang Wulin fought Long Yue, but Old Tang took control of his body and opened the sixth Golden Dragon King seal to keep him in the battle. The two fought on equal terms as Tang Wulin gradually absorbed the power, while Su Ming concluded that Tang San had left him multiple safety nets.

• Tang Wulin gradually merged with the sixth seal’s power as the battle devastated the arena, and Su Ming regarded Old Tang’s intervention as another safety net.

Tang Wulin defeated Long Yue after awakening his Golden Dragon Roar, while Su Ming rebuffed Old Tang’s attempt to spy on him. In the Dou Er timeline, Xuan Zi continued leading the students through a cautious six-month soul-ring hunt and subdued a suitable flame tiger for Yao Haoxuan.

• Tang Wulin instinctively unleashed Golden Dragon Roar, disrupting Long Yue and giving Tang Wulin an opening to win their match.
• Old Tang considered attacking Su Ming and Gu Yue but lacked the power, and Su Ming severed the divine sense Old Tang sent into their private box.
• Su Ming left the arena after Tang Wulin’s victory, then the story shifted to the Star Dou Great Forest six months into the students’ soul-ring hunt.
• Huo Yuhao complained that Xuan Zi’s cautious leadership had made the hunt drag on, while Wang Dong silently laughed at his search for destined love.
• Xuan Zi found a flame tiger with over twenty thousand years of cultivation that suited Yao Haoxuan and subdued it without letting the students help.
• Xuan Zi tossed the flame tiger in front of Yao Haoxuan and told him to absorb its soul ring.

During Shrek’s hunt for Soul Rings, Xuan Zi seized the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and forced Huo Yuhao to perform an attribute linking with her, trading her release for five Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. Afterward, the Auspicious Beast told Di Tian that she could not see some of Huo Yuhao’s memories, prompting suspicion about the encounter.

• After Yao Haoxuan began absorbing the Flame Tiger’s Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao warned Xuan Zi that two Soul Beasts were approaching.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion killed a Holy Light Unicorn, and Xuan Zi recognized her as the Star Dou Great Forest’s Imperial Auspicious Beast.
• Xuan Zi overpowered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and made Huo Yuhao press his forehead against her vertical eye to perform an attribute linking.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion returned to the Lake of Life and told Di Tian that she could not access some of Huo Yuhao’s memories.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion learned that Tang San’s influence had tied her fate to Huo Yuhao, while the Silver Dragon King advised her to seek someone beyond Fate. Later, Su Ming entered Dragon Valley under the alias Bai Jiushijiu to absorb Dragon Cloud, as Gu Yue confronted Tang Wulin over a dragon soul.

• The Silver Dragon King told Di Tian that Tang San had stirred the discordant power in Three-Eyed Golden Lion and linked her Fate to Huo Yuhao.
• The Silver Dragon King advised Three-Eyed Golden Lion to stay at the Lake of Life and said only someone unbound by Fate could break the deadlock.
• Mu Ye secured Su Ming an exceptional place in the Dragon Valley operation and gave him a mask to use the name Bai Jiushijiu.
• Su Ming entered Dragon Valley, resisted its Soul Power suppression, and began absorbing Dragon Cloud near the Dragon Tomb.
• Gu Yue arrived at the Dragon Tomb and prepared to suppress Tang Wulin with an Element Storm as they competed for a dragon soul.

Old Tang seized part of the Dragon Soul and helped Tang Wulin absorb two Golden Dragon King seals before Gu Yue withdrew and attacked Dragon Valley with an Element Storm. Su Ming used the storm to strengthen himself and escaped, while the Dragon God reacted to changes in the Time River; a month later, Mu Ye told Su Ming that Tang Wulin had not returned from Dragon Valley.

• Old Tang drew Dragon Soul Power from Gu Yue and helped Tang Wulin absorb two Golden Dragon King seals, then threatened Gu Yue with a trump card until she left.
• Gu Yue hurled an Element Storm into Dragon Valley, and Su Ming used its gathered elements and Dragon Cloud Power to strengthen himself before teleporting out.
• Tang Wulin woke after Old Tang's aura vanished and continued burying dragon bones in the Dragon God Cemetery, where the Dragon God considered creating an incarnation to take the calamity in his place.
• Su Ming saw a new Dragon God-shaped hole appear and then disappear in his True Future, and he wondered what the Dragon God had done.
• One month later, Mu Ye told Su Ming that Tang Wulin had not come out of Dragon Valley and that Mu Chen and Zhen Hua were seeking information about him.

Su Ming explained that Dragon Valley remained stable inside and suggested Tang Wulin was trapped there for three years, while Shrek learned Xuan Zi’s soul-hunting expedition had provoked Di Tian. Huo Yuhao returned to Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley and learned he had three years to bring his beloved for a trial or die.

• Su Ming told Mu Ye that Dragon Valley’s interior had remained stable and that he had not seen Tang Wulin, leading Mu Chen to believe Tang Wulin was alive but trapped for three years.

• Huo Yuhao awakened in Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley and recalled the warning that he must return with his beloved within three years to undergo a trial or die.

Huo Yuhao concluded that the Auspicious Beast had connected him to his destined partner, then learned that Di Tian had threatened Shrek over his actions in the Star Dou Great Forest. He sought Su Ming’s help to protect Shrek, but Su Ming refused, leaving Huo Yuhao with no clear way to resolve the threat.

• Huo Yuhao decided that his bond with the Auspicious Beast had revealed a future love fate and left Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley hoping to return within three years.
• Fan Yu told Huo Yuhao that Di Tian had attacked Shrek City and demanded that Xuan Zi bring Huo Yuhao to the Land of Great Evil to apologize.
• Huo Yuhao learned that Xuan Zi and the seventeen students had safely returned to Shrek, but Fan Yu said the academy could not oppose Di Tian.
• Huo Yuhao asked Su Ming whether the Body Sect would intervene, and Su Ming said the sect would protect Huo Yuhao but not Shrek.
• Su Ming revealed that the Body Sect had already begun giving up on Huo Yuhao because he chose Shrek and the Tang Sect over his own sect.

Huo Yuhao learned that the Clear Sky Sect Leader had arrived to defend Shrek, easing his despair, while Su Ming focused on the Soul Beasts and preparing to act against the Holy Spirit Cult. In Dou San, Su Ming examined the valley where Lin Yuhan had found the Blood Scale Crystal and sensed something unusual inside.

• Huo Yuhao left Su Ming's research room disappointed and resolved to rely on himself, while Tang San worried that the pressure on Huo Yuhao might make the Child of Fate's power surge beyond his control.
• Fan Yu told Huo Yuhao that the Clear Sky Sect Leader had arrived at Shrek Academy and would guard it, relieving Huo Yuhao's fears about Di Tian's threat.
• Su Ming wondered why Di Tian and the Soul Beasts had reacted so strongly to Huo Yuhao, then prioritized clearing out the Holy Spirit Cult and preparing to condense his Third Martial Soul.
• Su Ming met Lin Yuhan in Lin City, declined to take her Blood Scale Crystal, and asked her to show him where she had found it.
• Lin Yuhan led Su Ming to the valley, where he used a higher-dimensional perspective to detect something unusual and stepped through the air toward it.

Su Ming opened the Qilin clan’s Small World and discovered that the Asura God had slaughtered Divine Beasts there, including the Dragon God. By studying the Vengeful Spirits, he realized the former Asura Gods could draw on Rakshasa Power and turn the resentment of their victims into Baleful Qi.

• Su Ming tore open a rift into the Qilin clan’s Small World, found it overrun by Vengeful Spirits, and purified one that left a Qilin remnant thought in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Su Ming used Water of Time to destroy the remnant thought and saw memories of the Asura God killing Divine Beasts and cleaving a seven-colored dragon in two.

• Su Ming opened the rift again, examined more Vengeful Spirits, and noticed that their purification stirred his Rakshasa Faith.
• Su Ming revisited a Vengeful Spirit’s memories and concluded that former Asura Gods could absorb Rakshasa Power from the resentment of those they killed.

Su Ming purified the Vengeful Spirits in a Small World to strengthen his Rakshasa Faith and develop a Rank that could counter Asura’s negative power. After clearing the Small World, he gained the Power of Destiny and began forming a Spiritual Domain infused with Water of Time.

• Su Ming concluded that the Asura and Rakshasa Divine Thrones had originally been one and planned to use strengthened Rakshasa Faith to corrupt Asura’s power.

• Su Ming spread his Spiritual Power, realized it was forming a Spiritual Domain, and used the Time River to infuse it with Water of Time.

Su Ming tested his incomplete Spiritual Domain and discovered that his consciousness could enter Parallel Worlds through the Time River. He explored a Douluo Plane future as a spiritual outsider, took up residence in Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness, and noticed that Tang Hao remained the Lord of the Plane.

• Su Ming found that his Spiritual Domain could reach nine unstable Parallel Worlds, though he could not enter them in his true body.
• Su Ming crossed into a Parallel World of the Douluo Plane and realized he had no alternate self there, making him an outsider to the Time River’s system.

Su Ming tried to win Xu Yuan’s trust by proving he was a native of the Douluo Continent and having Light Cluster create a five-element Soul Ring. Xu Yuan remained wary but agreed to consider their deal if they first raised the ring to ten thousand years.

• Xu Yuan called Su Ming an Outworld Demon, so Su Ming showed him his Martial Soul and Soul Rings and offered to prove his identity.
• Su Ming summoned Light Cluster and taught him to create an ownerless Soul Ring suited to Xu Yuan’s five-element aptitude.
• Light Cluster used the abundant Soul Spirit Faith to form a white Soul Ring, and he and Su Ming raised it to yellow over two and a half hours.
• Xu Yuan refused to fuse with a thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring, despite seeing Light Cluster create one from nothing.
• Su Ming promised to increase Xu Yuan’s Soul Ring Limit by about a hundred years each month, and Xu Yuan demanded that the ring reach ten thousand years before he became a Soul King.

Su Ming helped Light Cluster break through to fifty thousand years, then returned to Xu Yuan’s parallel world and took control of him during a battle with the Abyss. He left the Ba An in pieces after unleashing a flawed but devastating Five-Element Cycle spear technique.
