Chapter Summaries

Chen Ping awakened Wenas, the God of Love and Abundance, with an answer that reminded her of someone from her past. She gave him the Red Grade First Trial, transporting him into an illusion of Shrek Academy from years ago.

• Chen Ping was the last of the seven adventurers to remain on his platform when Wenas appeared before him.
• Wenas explained that she was a remnant of consciousness and an obsession, and hinted that her past with someone had been more complicated than the familiar account suggested.
• Wenas said Chen Ping’s answer resembled one given by someone from her past, then asked him a question she had long wanted answered.
• Wenas granted Chen Ping the Red Grade First Trial, whose instruction was to see all forms as formless and behold true suchness.
• Chen Ping recognized the old Shrek Academy Sports Field and dormitories as an illusion drawn from his memories.

Chen Ping relived his memories of confronting Zhou Yi as Love God Wenas offered him a chance to change the past. He refused to revise his decision, explaining that sparing Zhou Yi had been the only choice that protected him, Shrek Academy, and Zhou Yi’s students.

• Chen Ping watched memories of Zhou Yi's harsh treatment of Class One, the Academy's response, and the scandal that led to her removal.
• Love God Wenas appeared and offered Chen Ping the chance to change his past, revealing that his strongest unresolved obsession concerned Zhou Yi.
• Chen Ping's younger self tore up the document calling for Zhou Yi's punishment and agreed to spare her life as Mu En had suggested.
• Wenas questioned why Chen Ping refused to kill Zhou Yi, and Chen Ping explained that sparing her had helped prevent Fan Yu's retaliation while still allowing the students to find justice.

Chen Ping refused to deny the memories he cherished, and Wenas began to understand why the God of Plants had made the same choice. She told Chen Ping how her lover died in the divine war and revealed that she had never accepted his death.

• Chen Ping stood by his answer, but Wenas wept golden tears and the Love Questioning Valley sealed itself off from the outside world.
• Wenas asked Chen Ping to hear her story and explained that she and the God of Plants had once vowed never to part.
• Wenas recalled that the God of Plants joined the war after the Dragon God went mad, despite her pleas for him to stay with her.
• The God of Plants burned his divine soul to hold back two Dragon Kings and died after helping the Sword God defeat them.
• Wenas said she could not return to life without her lover and had resolved that if they could not be together in life, they would be together in death.

Chen Ping helped Wenas understand that the God of Plants had gone to war out of love for her, not because he loved her too little. Wenas broke down over the answer, and her anguish shook Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning.

• Wenas explained that she had spent ages seeking an answer to whether the God of Plants would have chosen her over the battlefield, and that Chen Ping was the only person to recreate the Shadow of the Past.
• Chen Ping suggested that the God of Plants had gone to war to save Wenas and the God Realm, sacrificing himself because he loved her deeply.
• Wenas realized she had mistaken his sacrifice for a lack of love, even though he had given his life so she could survive.
• Wenas cried out and shook Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning, making the lake ripple and rocks tumble.
• The shaking changed Ning Rongrong's wheel result from sharing an embarrassing story to French-kissing the ground for an hour, and she howled in despair.

After Wenas gave Chen Ping her golden tears, he absorbed one and began transforming his Spiritual Power toward divine consciousness. He discovered that his range had expanded dramatically, while Wenas warned that this first transformation would bring the greatest increase.

• Chen Ping worried that Wenas might disappear after her long-held obsession faded, then asked whether she wanted the golden tears at her feet.
• Wenas gave Chen Ping all of her teardrops, which he stored except for one.
• Chen Ping absorbed a tear and felt his Spiritual Power grow more refined and begin transforming toward divine consciousness.
• Chen Ping extended his Spiritual Power beyond a thousand meters and saw Ning Rongrong tongue-kissing the ground inside Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning.
• Wenas explained that further tears would strengthen Chen Ping's Spiritual Power but would not produce another transformation unless he eventually turned all of it into divine consciousness.

Chen Ping passed Wenas's God of Love Assessment, gained five Soul Power levels and stronger soul rings, and received control of Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning. Wenas departed to help Chen Ping's companions finish their assessments, while warning him that she would not pass on her God Position.

• Wenas revealed that Chen Ping had passed the top-level assessment, raising his Soul Power from Level Fifty-Five to Level Sixty and increasing his soul ring lifespans by ten thousand years.
• Chen Ping asked Wenas to grant him another reward when he became a Nine Rings Titled Douluo, but she explained that her Divine Sense Origin was nearly depleted and she would soon dissipate.
• Wenas told Chen Ping that travelers had already taken the valley's treasures, and Chen Ping considered moving the entire valley into Electrolux's Undead Demiplane.
• Wenas placed a pale golden heart-shaped Brand on Chen Ping, giving him perception of the valley and restoring his connection with Electrolux.
• Wenas told Chen Ping to explore the valley while she used her remaining divine sense to help his companions complete their assessments, and refused to pass her God Position to him.

Chen Ping realized he had missed Love God's First-level God inheritance, then discovered and collected a trove of genuine martial arts manuals in Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning. He left with the manuals and a new way to improve his cultivation, while Love God remained lost in memories of the past.

• Chen Ping regretted missing Love God's divine inheritance and assessed how much power he would need to challenge Tang San.
• Chen Ping used his Spiritual Power to search Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning and discovered a collection of martial arts manuals.
• Chen Ping recognized the manuals as genuine, including a complete Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and detailed instructions for making the Yama Talisman.
• Wenas explained that past visitors had left the manuals as gifts after passing her trials and receiving her help.
• Chen Ping asked to keep the manuals, and Wenas let him take them.
• Chen Ping stored the manuals in his Storage Soul Guidance Device and planned to use them to improve his meditation and cultivation.

Chen Ping returned to Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning after packing up its treasures and used a recording of Ning Rongrong’s humiliating trial to intimidate her. The God of Love paused Ning Rongrong’s adventure at Chen Ping’s request, leaving her cornered and afraid of him.

• Chen Ping realized the valley’s martial arts manuals and divine power were valuable, then vanished using his Rainbow Jade Mystic Light Mirage.
• He Caitou returned carrying the injured Xiao Xiao, and the adventure system awarded them a perfect clearance, five soul-power levels, and restored their injuries.
• Ning Rongrong continued the tongue-kiss trial until she realized she had licked a portrait of Tang San.
• Chen Ping appeared before Ning Rongrong and revealed that an Image Retaining Pearl had recorded her trial.
• Chen Ping threatened to spread the recording and accused Ning Rongrong’s sect of misusing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School name.
• Chen Ping asked the God of Love to pause Ning Rongrong’s adventure, and she agreed; Ning Rongrong retreated in fear.

Chen Ping psychologically cornered Ning Rongrong by exposing her fear of Tang San and the God Realm’s rules, then used Rong Nianbing as proof that Tang San had lied about bringing people to the God Realm. Ning Rongrong’s defenses collapsed, leaving Chen Ping with an opening among the Shrek Seven Devils.

• Ning Rongrong tried to defend herself with a Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but Chen Ping dismissed it and approached her despite his own tension.
• Chen Ping reminded Ning Rongrong of her secret involvement in the Fierce God Team’s defeat and questioned whether Tang San would protect her after she disrupted his plan.
• Chen Ping cited Tang San’s treatment of Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun to undermine Ning Rongrong’s confidence in him.
• Chen Ping pointed to Rong Nianbing’s ability to bring people to the God Realm, exposing Tang San’s claim that only First-level Gods could do so as a lie.
• Ning Rongrong’s psychological defenses collapsed, and Chen Ping recognized her as an easier opening to exploit than the other members of Shrek.

Chen Ping pressured Ning Rongrong into compensating him and offered her a cover story for Tang San’s failed plan. After Chen Ping vanished, Ning Rongrong suspected he was an agent of the God King of Destruction and that the events in Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning had been staged to deceive her.

• Chen Ping demanded compensation from Ning Rongrong, making her realize that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and her mortal home were likely gone.
• Ning Rongrong gave Chen Ping Oscar’s Resilient Golden Fly, Crystal Caterpillar Sausage, and More Than Half Diamond Sausage, explaining their restorative effects.
• Chen Ping warned Ning Rongrong that Tang San could not easily punish him and challenged her to report him to the God Realm.
• Chen Ping advised Ning Rongrong to tell Tang San that she had lost her High Priest status and Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning had broken its connection to the God Realm.
• Chen Ping vanished, and Ning Rongrong concluded that he was probably affiliated with the God King of Destruction and that the gods had staged the encounter.

After Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning vanished, Chen Ping brought the others to the Undead Demiplane and heard about their Deep Adventures. Ning Tian revealed that she had activated the Three Trials of the God of Love, whose first trial required her to reach Level 90.

• Chen Ping's hidden rune recorded the God Realm's spatial coordinates when Ning Rongrong left Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning, which then disappeared and left a vast pit behind.
• Chen Ping brought Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng through a portal to the Undead Demiplane.
• Huo Yuhao said he had beaten Dai Hao in his Deep Adventure and awakened his Spirit Eye Martial Soul a second time.
• He Caitou said he and Xiao Xiao had killed the son of Xu Guozhong, while Ning Tian and Wu Feng said they had detonated a Rank 8 Fixed Ammunition round against a Sun Moon Empire battalion.
• Ning Tian told Chen Ping that she had begun the Three Trials of the God of Love, and that its first trial required her to reach Level 90 for a reward that increased each Soul Ring's age by ten thousand years.

Chen Ping calmed Ning Tian and Wu Feng after their reckless actions and learned that Ning Tian had received the God of Love’s Three Trials. He gave the group cultivation manuals from the Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning and left Huo Yuhao with Xuanbing Three Parts Qi.

• Chen Ping told Ning Tian that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might hold an Aromatic Silk Beauty capable of evolving her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ning Tian explained that the goddess Wenas had given her the Three Trials of the God of Love, whose first trial required her to reach Rank 90.
• Chen Ping realized Wenas had chosen Ning Tian to inherit her God Position and told Ning Tian not to worry about finding an Aromatic Silk Beauty yet.
• Chen Ping brought out martial arts manuals from the Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning and gave Huo Yuhao Xuanbing Three Parts Qi as a cultivation method suited to his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao and the others cultivation manuals and explained how he had obtained them, while the God of Destruction considered expanding the God Realm during Tang San’s secluded cultivation. The chapter left the God of Destruction resentful of Tang San’s authority and ready to act.

• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong examined Hanbing Three Parts Qi, and Chen Ping explained why its ice-based method would not suit Wang Dong’s martial souls.
• Chen Ping distributed other cultivation manuals while studying the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record’s recipe for the Qiankun Creation Pill.
• After Xiao Xiao asked where the manuals came from, Chen Ping recounted his encounter with the Love God and his acquisition of Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning.
• Xiao Xiao grew emotional hearing the Love God’s story, and Chen Ping suspected she would become a hopeless romantic.
• In the God Realm Committee’s hall, the God of Destruction monitored the lower realms and considered expanding the God Realm while the Sea God cultivated in seclusion.
• The God of Destruction recalled how Tang San had been given nominal control of the God Realm and resented his growing influence.

The God of Destruction watched Tang San and Ning Rongrong meet, suspecting that they were hiding a plan, while Ning Rongrong reported what had happened in Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning. Tang San realized his plan to restore Tang Wutong might have failed, then began devising a replacement plan involving Wang Dong'er.

• The God of Destruction observed Tang San take Ning Rongrong to the Sea God Hall and considered using her to find a weakness in Tang San’s circle.
• Tang San questioned Ning Rongrong about the Son of Luck and Wutong, and she explained that Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning had severed its connections and forced her to complete a trial before returning to the God Realm.
• Tang San concluded that Ning Rongrong had encountered the valley’s once-in-ten-thousand-years Spatial Transfer and dismissed her without blaming her.
• Tang San worried that Wutong’s missing soul and Wang Dong’er’s lack of feelings for Huo Yuhao had ruined his plans to claim the Star Dou Forest’s luck and the Son of Luck’s power.
• Tang San decided he could use Wang Dong’er as a replacement for Wutong and began shaping a new Ten Thousand Year Grand Plan.

Shrek Academy and the Body Sect met to discuss cooperation amid the Sun Moon Empire’s internal conflict, while Chen Ping’s haul of Rare Metals greatly strengthened Shrek’s Soul Guidance Department. The meeting turned to a technology exchange between Chen Ping and the Body Sect, but Du Busi first questioned the value of Chen Ping’s medicines.

• The Sun Moon Empire’s internal struggle stalled the empire’s war preparations, and Shrek and the Body Sect arranged a meeting through Vina.
• Chen Ping returned to Shrek Academy after discussing how to move Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning with Electrolux, and Du Busi and the Body Sect delegation arrived for the meeting.
• Shrek’s leaders saw that Chen Ping’s tens of thousands of tons of Rare Metals had filled the academy’s warehouses and could support extensive Soul Engineer training.
• Elder Xuan outlined plans to strengthen Shrek and Body Sect cooperation, consider exchange students and Soul Guidance Cannons, and discuss a technology exchange involving Chen Ping.
• Du Busi asked Chen Ping whether the exchange concerned only his elixirs and Medicinal Baths, noting that they offered little to Body Soul Masters.

Chen Ping offered the Body Sect a trade: its Undying Body secret technique in exchange for a meditation technique he claimed was far more advanced. Du Busi was captivated by the Myriad Might Prajna Heart Sutra, but the booklet ended just as its essential contents were about to begin.

• Du Busi explained the Body Sect's Five Poisons, Myriad Poisons, and Vajra Undying Body techniques and their cultivation requirements.
• Chen Ping realized he could meet the Vajra Undying Body's requirements and asked Du Busi whether he would trade the secret technique under the right conditions.
• Chen Ping offered Du Busi the Myriad Might Prajna Heart Sutra, which he said enhanced physical strength without requiring additional Soul Power.
• Du Busi read the booklet with growing astonishment while Huo Yuhao took pride in the effects of his cultivation of the Xuanbing Three Parts Qi.
• Du Busi finished the booklet and frantically demanded the rest when he discovered its essential content was missing.

Shrek and the Body Sect agreed on a genuine student and teacher exchange, with Huo Yuhao considered as a potential inheritor of the Body Sect’s Seed of the Body. Meanwhile, Tian Hun and Star Luo decided to avoid exploiting the Sun Moon Empire’s political turmoil and focus on strengthening their defenses as war loomed.

• Shrek and the Body Sect agreed to exchange outstanding students and teachers for one to two years, and Chen Ping’s two prescriptions would be exchanged for the Body Sect’s Vajra Undying Body cultivation method.
• Du Busi sought to bring Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect, and both sides agreed he could become an honorary Vice Sect Master if he completed the Seed of the Body inheritance.
• Factions in the Sun Moon Empire fought over the succession, Evil Soul Masters, and the princes’ actions, while calls for war temporarily receded.
• Xu Jiawei and the rulers of Tian Hun and Star Luo judged that attacking during the Sun Moon Empire’s turmoil would only unify it and expose them to its border Soul Engineer Legions.
• Tian Hun and Star Luo chose to lie low and recuperate, hoping Shrek’s gains and future technological advances would help them withstand the eventual war.

Chen Ping tried to save his dying teacher Mu En with a Crystal Caterpillar Sausage, but Mu En explained that it could not mend his shattered soul. Chen Ping resolved to seek the Lovesick Heartbreak Red at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a possible way to heal souls.

• Chen Ping offered Mu En a Crystal Caterpillar Sausage made by Oscar, but Mu En refused it and told him to keep the treasure.
• Mu En explained that even Revival Divine Light could not repair a shattered soul, and that Tang San’s revival had depended on divine sense and Faith Power.
• Chen Ping realized that the sausage could not save Mu En, whose body and soul were failing from the Dragon Core’s baleful aura.
• Chen Ping considered the Lovesick Heartbreak Red’s possible effect on souls and decided to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Ye Xishui, Zhong Li Wu, and Feng Ling performed a ritual at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters to summon the Holy Emperor God of Slaughter Shuopros. The mass of souls from the cult’s victims was driven mad and shattered, gathering into a bat-shaped pattern of chaotic faith power.

• Ye Xishui ordered Zhong Li Wu to burn incense and explained that the Holy Spirit Cult would sacrifice its culpable elders to appease Xu Tianran after the massacre in Mingdu.
• Ye Xishui proposed that Feng Ling receive the Holy Emperor’s reward, but said Feng Ling could accept it because Zhong Li Wu could not yet withstand further soul-ring upgrades.
• Zhong Li Wu released an immense evil aura that spread from the secret chamber across Wailing Mountain, the Yin Accumulating Cave, and the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
• Hundreds of thousands of souls from the cult’s victims were consumed by the red light, driven to chant “slaughter,” and shattered.
• The scattered souls became gray energy that flowed into the chamber and formed a huge bat pattern of impure faith power.

Tang San weighed how to advance his plan for Tang Wutong and left the Sea God Hall to visit Xiao Wu. At the same time, Shuopros appeared before the Holy Spirit Cult and ordered its leaders to create slaughter through war rather than massacres.

• Tang San considered how to make two souls accept that they were Tang Wutong, and reflected on his strategy for gathering faith on Douluo Continent.
• Tang San examined Shuopros's Sword of Slaughter God and recalled how Shuopros had been punished for descending to the lower realm without authorization.
• Tang San left the Sea God Hall and headed to Xiao Wu's residence.
• Ye Xishui and the Holy Spirit Cult's leaders welcomed Shuopros's projection and reported that their slaughter had claimed just over a hundred thousand lives.
• Shuopros rebuked the three and told them to provoke wars in which soldiers and civilians killed one another to generate the Killing Intent he wanted.
