Chapter Summaries

Ju Zi showed Ning Dairong, Gu Feng, and Chen Xu that children with useless martial souls could cultivate Soul Power through Basic Internal Cultivation, then offered the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect a place in Canghui Academy’s plans. Ning Dairong accepted the plans, including one about the Martial Alliance and Martial Ancestor’s Legacy, and Huo Yuhao explained that Brother Jie had written the autobiography to gather faith.

• Ju Zi explained that many children in the room had gained Soul Power through Basic Internal Cultivation rather than being born with Innate Soul Power.
• Ju Zi gave Ning Dairong, Gu Feng, and Chen Xu copies of Basic Internal Cultivation, and they recognized that its principles differed from meditation methods.
• Ju Zi offered Ning Dairong a detailed guide and arranged for Wang Dongdong to teach the method at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ju Zi asked whether Ning Dairong would join Canghui Academy’s plans, and he agreed to cooperate.
• Ju Zi handed Ning Dairong four plans, including the Martial Alliance and Martial Ancestor’s Legacy, and Huo Yuhao said Brother Jie had written the autobiography to gather faith.

After bidding farewell to Wang Dongdong, Xu Jie and his companions returned to Canghui New City and discussed Xiao Yun’er’s future Soul Contract. There, Qian Ran announced that the golden Dragon Egg Xu Jie had given him was about to hatch, surprising Xu Jie.

• Ning Dairong and his team formally said goodbye to Wang Dongdong and departed, while Xu Jie’s group led the Blazing Dragon back toward Dou Mountain.
• Xu Jie reassured Xiao Cao that he would bring Wang Dongdong back within a month, then carried her as the group returned to Canghui New City.
• Huo Yuhao suggested that Xiao Yun’er form a Soul Contract with the Golden Ancient Tree early, and Xu Jie agreed to investigate whether it was safe.
• Ju Zi returned to her office, Huo Yuhao went to the Soul Guidance Hall, and Xu Jie was stopped by Ye Guyi and Qian Ran.
• Qian Ran told Xu Jie that the golden Dragon Egg was about to hatch and explained that he had nourished it with Soul Power and a skill taught by the power projection in the Angel Godly Armor.

Qian Ran used an Angel soul skill to nourish the Golden Dragon Egg, and Xu Jie discovered that the skill produced energy-like little angels that accelerated its growth. Xu Jie helped Qian Ran create more of them until the egg was on the verge of hatching, and they called on Huo Yuhao to help keep it under control.

• Qian Ran demonstrated his sunlight-powered Angel soul skill, which took a quarter of an hour to create a little golden-red angel.
• Xu Jie sped up the skill by channeling solar power into the Angel Holy Sword, and the little angel exploded into motes that nourished the Golden Dragon Egg.
• When the egg began to crack, Xu Jie used spiritual power to calm it and told Qian Ran to let it absorb more nourishment before hatching.
• Qian Ran sulked when Xu Jie refused to keep helping, but Xu Jie promised to help him condense little angels so the egg could grow stronger.
• Xu Jie and Qian Ran created six more little angels in Qian Ran's room, and after the seventh merged into the egg, Xu Jie's soothing could no longer stop it from hatching, so they relied on Huo Yuhao for help.

Qian Ran’s golden Dragon Egg hatched into a powerful, white-winged young dragon, and Huo Yuhao helped him complete a Soul Contract after Xu Jie vanished during his attempt. As wartime status began, Qian Ran gained a new golden-white Soul Ring and prepared to help.

• The golden Dragon Egg hatched, and Qian Ran caught the young dragon as it took flight.
• Xu Jie examined Xiao Long, discovered the glowing eggshells could serve as its food, and began preparing a Soul Contract for Qian Ran.
• A gray light shattered Xu Jie’s magic formations, and Xu Jie disappeared after telling Qian Ran to have Huo Yuhao perform the contract.
• Huo Yuhao arrived and told Ye Guyi to find Qiu'er because wartime status had been activated.
• Huo Yuhao formed the Soul Contract for Qian Ran, and a golden-white Soul Ring appeared and merged with Qian Ran’s other three rings.

Huo Yuhao witnessed Qian Ran and the young dragon triggering a complete Angel God inheritance, then left to find Xu Jie as the Heaven Soul Empire faced defeat. At Tingfeng City, Wei Tian’s ministers argued over retreat or surrender before Xu Jie emerged through the Gate of the Undead and asked about the situation.

• The Angel Holy Sword and Qian Ran’s remaining Angel Godly Armor pieces gathered golden power around Qian Ran and the unconscious young dragon, beginning to form a complete God Position Inheritance.
• Ice Empress explained the divine descent to Huo Yuhao, who confirmed that both children were safe and left the room to find Xu Jie.
• Huo Yuhao headed toward Ju Zi’s office after learning that Heaven Soul Emperor Wei Tian had activated Xu Jie’s Positioning Stone amid the Sun Moon Empire’s attack.
• At Tingfeng City, Wei Tian’s ministers reported heavy losses and urged him to retreat, but he argued that the Heaven Soul Empire had nowhere safe to go.
• Several ministers urged Wei Tian to surrender, sparking an argument as he took out a prepared imperial decree.
• Vina’s gray stone opened the Gate of the Undead, and Xu Jie emerged into the hall and asked how the situation was.

As the Sun Moon Empire’s forces pushed toward Tingfeng City, Xu Jie coordinated the Heaven Soul Empire’s retreat and prepared the city for the crisis. He evacuated the royal and noble youths to the Undead Demigod Plane and entered the treasury with Vina to secure the Empire’s remaining wealth.

• Xu Jie left the palace to assess the western battlefield while Vina briefed Wei Tian and headed to the palace storehouse.
• Xu Jie observed Dugu Lu, the Body Sect elders, and Xiao Jin slowing the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps with poison and Spiritual Detection Sharing.
• Xu Jie signaled Xiao Jin to project the battlefield above Tingfeng City and connect with Wei Tian and Vina.
• Xu Jie used Universal Pull to send the gathered royal and noble youths through the Gate of the Undead into the Undead Demigod Plane.
• Vina led Xu Jie into the treasury, where he was surprised by the vast amount of stored wealth.

Xu Jie and Vina raided the estates of more nobles while Wei Tian staged his final public address and set Fengtian Pavilion ablaze. After the projection vanished, the fleeing Heavenly Soul soldiers bypassed Tingfeng City and marched into the Dou Ling Empire.

• Vina told Xu Jie that most nobles had not yet been targeted, and she offered to guide him to their homes.
• Xu Jie asked Xiao Jin to have Wei Tian dismiss the ministers, then began collecting the treasury’s remaining valuables.
• Wei Tian sent most ministers home, but Prime Minister Lin and several others chose to remain with him and die together.
• Xu Jie agreed to rescue the ministers and their families, provided their property could be confiscated for the public treasury.
• Wei Tian read his final edict above Tingfeng City, removed his crown and robes, and knelt as Fengtian Pavilion burned.
• After Wei Tian’s projection shattered, the Heavenly Soul soldiers bypassed Tingfeng City and marched into the Dou Ling Empire.

Xu Jie and his allies seized Tingfeng City's nobles’ wealth and evacuated Wei Tian before the Sun Moon Empire occupied the surrendered city. As Xu Jie watched the army manage the civilians, the Holy Spirit Cult demanded permission to slaughter them, and Xu Tianyuan refused.

• Xu Jie brought Huo Yuhao’s security brigade and the returning Titled Douluo into the effort to take the nobles’ wealth, while Vina identified nobles whom Xu Jie evacuated with their property.
• After the group finished clearing the city, Xu Jie sent everyone away and headed to Fengtian Pavilion to retrieve Wei Tian as the Sun Moon army approached.
• The Sun Moon army entered Tingfeng City without resistance and found mutilated corpses in the ashes of Fengtian Pavilion, frustrating Xu Tianyuan and the Holy Spirit Cult’s Wuyun.
• Wuyun demanded that the Holy Spirit Cult be allowed to plunder and slaughter, but Xu Tianyuan refused because the city had surrendered and the civilians had not resisted.
• Xu Jie, Du Busi, Ji Juechen, and Xiao Jin watched civilians line up calmly as Xu Jie recorded the scene and considered how the Sun Moon Empire’s policies had improved their lives.

Xu Jie and Du Busi waited for a change at the Heaven Soul Empire’s temporary imperial palace while Xu Jie recorded the Sun Moon troops’ entry into Tingfeng City. As they discussed the academy’s ideology lessons and long-range Soul Tools, Xu Jie handed Du Busi a book called “History of Gunpowder.”

• Xu Jie delayed acting because Xiao Jin’s Spiritual Detection Sharing had not sensed any change at the temporary imperial palace.
• Xu Jie recorded the Sun Moon troops entering Tingfeng City, intending to use the material for his academy’s classes.
• Du Busi reflected on the academy’s research and feared that Remote Guided Soul Tools could let ordinary civilians kill even Titled Douluo.
• Xu Jie explained that Soul Tools were being used in a backward way and argued for standardized, long-range missile attacks.
• Xu Jie gave Du Busi a black-covered book titled “History of Gunpowder.”

Xu Jie and his allies secretly followed Wuyun’s Evil Soul Masters through Tingfeng City, while Xu Tianyuan discovered that the city’s treasury had been emptied. After the Evil Soul Masters headed for the eastern arsenal, Xu Jie’s group began an ambush, leaving two black-robed figures for Xu Jie to handle.

• Xu Jie gave Du Busi his self-compiled History of Gunpowder to read.
• Wuyun led the Evil Soul Masters toward Tingfeng City’s eastern arsenal, intending to detonate it and cause casualties.
• Xu Tianyuan learned that the city’s assets and nobles were gone, then entered the Heaven Dou Empire’s treasury and found it empty.
• Xu Jie and his companions followed the Evil Soul Masters and chose to attack in the sparsely populated eastern district.
• Xiao Jin used Spiritual Fluctuations to control nearby civilians and evacuate them, alerting Wuyun.
• Ji Juechen attacked Wuyun while Du Busi engulfed most of the Evil Soul Masters in Body Poison, leaving two black-robed figures for Xu Jie.

Xu Jie fought two twin Evil Soul Masters whose Souls of Vengeance could attack the soul directly. After they joined forces and assaulted his Spiritual Sea, the red sun in his mind calmed it and began radiating light through his body.

• Xu Jie summoned the Golden Dragon Spear and faced the two Evil Soul Masters Du Busi had left behind.
• The twins revealed their Souls of Vengeance, and Xu Jie sealed the battlefield inside a gravitational domain.
• The Evil Soul Masters attacked Xu Jie’s soul with a piercing scream, but he struck one of them away with a burst of power.
• The twins reunited and combined their martial souls, sending illusory black figures against Xu Jie’s Spiritual Sea.
• A red sun in Xu Jie’s mind shone brightly, calming his Spiritual Sea and dispelling the chill as its light spread through him.

Xu Jie’s Sun Martial Soul killed two Evil Soul Masters and accelerated his departure from the Douluo Plane, so he escaped with Du Busi and Ji Juechen to the Undead Demigod Plane. There, he discussed the haul from Tingfeng City with Ju Zi and resumed his sweatshop project with the Heavenly Soul nobles.

• Xu Jie’s Sun Martial Soul killed the two Evil Soul Masters, and its golden-red patterns spread across his hand as the strain shortened his remaining time in the Douluo Plane by twenty years.
• Du Busi and Ji Juechen arrived carrying Wuyun’s head, and Xu Jie took them and the corpses to the Undead Demigod Plane as Sun Moon Soul Engineers closed in.
• Xu Tianyuan reached the eastern district and ordered his men to identify the unknown powerhouse who had killed the Holy Spirit Cult members.
• In the Undead Demigod Plane, Ju Zi questioned Xu Jie about the piles of gold and soul tool materials he had taken, while Xuan Ziwen and others sorted the materials.
• Xu Jie sent Ju Zi back, left Xiao Xiao and Ye Guyi to help sort materials, then visited the Heavenly Soul nobles and continued the sweatshop project with the elders still clinging to their former status.

Xu Jie helped Qian Ran’s angel ritual produce a Godhood Seed, which Huo Yuhao declined as unsuitable, and sent it to the Undead Demigod Plane. The seed silently entered Ye Guyi, while Xu Jie told Vina that her father and the other nobles would remain imprisoned for another year or two.

• Xu Jie used his butterfly mark to transform Qian Ran’s Angel Statue, producing a Godhood Seed after two women in white appeared in the light.
• Huo Yuhao refused the seed because its sacred radiant power did not suit him, and Xu Jie sent it through a Gate of the Undead.
• The Godhood Seed emerged near Ye Guyi and silently merged into her body while she sorted soul guidance materials.
• Xu Jie, Huo Yuhao, Du Busi, and Ju Zi watched the Canghui Royal Guard drill after Body Sect disciples had trained the young nobles for nearly fifteen days.
• Vina asked when Xu Jie would release her father and the other nobles, and Xu Jie said they would remain imprisoned for another year or two.

Xu Jie, Ju Zi, and Huo Yuhao assessed the Sun Moon Empire’s halted invasion and prepared for its likely attack while Vina set out to establish a soul beast branch. The chapter ended as Huo Yuhao detected Tianyang Douluo and two other Titled Douluo approaching Dou Mountain.

• Xu Jie explained why the captured nobles had to remain hidden and labor in the Undead Demigod Plane, and Ju Zi assured Vina they would not be harmed.
• Ju Zi recounted how the Heaven Dou Empire had fallen and how the remaining forces had withdrawn into the Dou Ling Empire as Star Luo and Shrek prepared to resist the Sun Moon Empire.
• Huo Yuhao told Vina to oversee the Ice Sea Branch’s establishment, and Xu Jie offered her the chance to bring Muxue and help her form a soul contract with a suitable soul beast.
• Xu Jie and Ju Zi discussed the Sun Moon Empire’s preparations to target Canghui Academy and Spirit Douluo City, while recognizing that Dugu Lu’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had driven the enemy toward a decapitation operation.
• Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection revealed Tianyang Douluo and two unfamiliar Titled Douluo approaching Dou Mountain from a hundred li away.

Ju Zi and Xu Jie revealed that the Sun Moon Empire planned to attack Spirit Douluo City, while Canghui Academy intended to let the Dou Ling Empire fall. They discussed Shrek Academy’s plan to assassinate Xu Tianran, but Du Busi refused to join it.

• Ju Zi showed the group a projection of the Sun Moon army’s border deployment and identified the Evil Monarch Soul Engineer Legion as preparing to strike Spirit Douluo City.
• Xu Jie declared that Canghui Academy would not save the Dou Ling Empire because its royal family had backed the Profound Underworld Sect and targeted Canghui Academy.
• Ju Zi offered the three Dou Ling Titled Douluo an invitation to join an operation against Xu Tianran, then clarified that it had been sent to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
• Xu Jie said Canghui Academy could guarantee Shrek Academy’s decapitation operation would succeed, while Tianyang Douluo doubted Shrek could kill Xu Tianran without Du Busi.
• Du Busi refused to join the operation because he had to guard Canghui Academy.

Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao revealed their plan to kill Xu Tianran to Tianyang Douluo and Lionheart Douluo, winning their support for the scheme. After introducing them to Canghui Academy’s systems, Xu Jie saw the academy gain three new allies.

• Xu Jie told Tianyang Douluo that he could guarantee the plan against Shrek Academy would succeed, then Huo Yuhao shared a revised account of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui’s attack with him.
• Tianyang Douluo agreed to join the plan and bring Lionheart Douluo and Shadowthorn Douluo to the Sun Moon Empire’s capital, but kept the secret from them until Huo Yuhao placed a silencing mark on Lionheart Douluo and shared the images with him.
• Lionheart Douluo enthusiastically accepted the restriction and agreed to reply to Shrek Academy, while Shadowthorn Douluo chose to remain unaware of the secret and join the others.
• Xu Jie’s group explained the Soul Contract System and Basic Internal Cultivation to the three Douluo, then showed them around Canghui Academy.
• When Tianyang Douluo departed the next day, Xu Jie considered the three Douluo loyal and trustworthy friends of the academy.

Xu Tianran waited for Ye Xishui to emerge from seclusion while Shrek Academy and its allies prepared an operation against Bright City. The group settled on attacking the imperial city during Xu Tianran’s morale-boosting event four days later.

• Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu waited at Bright City’s walls for Ye Xishui, whose return Zhongli Wu expected that day.
• Xuan Zi led the Shrek group to the military command tent, where Dai Hao, Tang Hui, and the other leaders discussed the operation.
• Xuan Zi added He Caitou to the team, bringing the operation’s participants to seventeen.
• Dai Hao assigned Xuan Zi to lead four Super Douluo in striking at Xu Tianran while Tianyang Douluo led the others in causing chaos in Bright City.
• The leaders chose to target Bright City’s imperial city during Xu Tianran’s event, rather than attack the heavily guarded armory.

Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao emerged from seclusion, left Spiritual Clones at Canghui Academy, and prepared to begin a covert mission in the Sun Moon Empire. Xu Jie brought Dugu Lu to the Undead Demigod Plane and offered him the Rakshasa inheritance mark, which Dugu Lu still distrusted.

• Xu Jie successfully created a Spiritual Clone on his third attempt, and he and Huo Yuhao left their own clones at Canghui Academy for emergencies.
• Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao briefed Canghui Academy’s leaders, left the finalized plans in their hands, and announced their departure on a long-term covert mission.
• Xu Jie used the Dark Gold Spirit Staff to teleport himself and Dugu Lu to the Undead Demigod Plane, and Huo Yuhao departed separately.
• Xu Jie revealed the Rakshasa Mark and offered the inheritance to Dugu Lu, who felt uneasy because it had once altered his memories.

Dugu Lu accepted the Rakshasa God's inheritance to help Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao pursue their revenge, but its first trials required him to stay near Qian Ran's Angel God Statue and cultivate Rakshasa aura. He began the trial and realized the Angel Statue's influence made his heart too pure to produce the required evil thoughts, while the Rakshasa temple's awakening drew the God Realm's attention.

• Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao urged Dugu Lu to accept the Rakshasa God's inheritance, and Dugu Lu agreed, reaffirming his promise to help them take revenge.
• Dugu Lu received the Rakshasa God's first examination, which required him to protect the Angel God inheritor, and a second examination involving a Godhood Seed holder.
• Xu Jie guessed that Ye Guyi held the Godhood Seed, then sent Dugu Lu to Qian Ran's room beside the Angel Statue.
• Dugu Lu learned he had to remain within five meters of the Angel Statue and condense Rakshasa aura by filling himself with evil thoughts.
• The Angel Statue's influence left Dugu Lu peaceful and free of evil thoughts, and he realized the examination was designed to thwart him.
• A faint glow appeared in the dilapidated Rakshasa temple, and Gluttony told Wrath that it was retribution for interference in the lower realm.

Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao chose imprisoned prince Xu Shenkai as a successor for the Sun Moon Empire and secretly visited him in the death row prison. Xu Jie offered him a chance to live as an ordinary person, and Xu Shenkai asked what it would cost.

• Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao discussed which imperial heir to choose, and Xu Jie settled on Xu Shenkai because he was accessible and had a fitting name.
• After spending four days exploring Bright City, Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao used Mimicry to enter the imperial city and sneak into the death row prison.
• Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao approached Xu Shenkai in his cell, while their Spiritual Fluctuation concealed the encounter from anyone outside.
• Xu Jie offered Xu Shenkai a different life away from the imperial family, clarifying that he could live as an ordinary person rather than join the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Xu Shenkai asked Xu Jie what the price was.
