Chapter Summaries

Chen Ping confronted Di Tian during the Beast Tide and threatened to expose the secrets of the Star Dou Forest and Di Tian’s master to the God Realm. The chapter left Di Tian hesitating beneath his raised Dragon God Claw as Chen Ping dared him to strike.

• Chen Ping used his spiritual message to challenge Di Tian to stop the Beast Tide, but Di Tian vowed to kill everyone and unleashed the Dragon God Claw.
• Di Tian’s first claw shattered the defenses of Xuan Zi and Du Busi, who barely escaped with Chen Ping.
• Chen Ping threatened to drag Di Tian’s master down with them, forcing Di Tian to retract his second attack and cough up dragon blood.
• Chen Ping stepped beneath Di Tian’s claw, offered his neck, and claimed he could send information about Di Tian’s master to the God Realm.
• Di Tian asked what Chen Ping had learned from the Auspicious Beast, and Chen Ping warned that destroying humanity would bring destruction upon the Soul Beast World as well.

Chen Ping deduced that Di Tian had launched the Beast Tide to halt humanity’s rapidly advancing Soul Tool technology and buy time for the Silver Dragon King to recover. He threatened Di Tian with Rank 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells that would activate if they stopped receiving his regular signal, leaving Di Tian wary of the danger to the Silver Dragon King.

• Chen Ping concluded that Di Tian feared human technology would eventually let humanity destroy the Star Dou Forest before the Silver Dragon King recovered.
• Chen Ping reasoned that Shrek’s rapid advances in Soul Tools, aided by his own work and the Auspicious Beast, had intensified Di Tian’s fears.
• Chen Ping steered the conversation toward the Silver Dragon King after noticing Di Tian hesitate and withdraw the Dragon God Claw.
• Chen Ping told Di Tian that hidden Rank 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells would activate if they stopped receiving his signal, and warned him to retract his dark domain.
• Di Tian withdrew the domain, changed into human form, and demanded to know whether Chen Ping had installed shells beneath the Great Ferocious Land.

Chen Ping used the threat of a Rank 9 Fixed Cannonball Watchdog Timer to pressure Di Tian into negotiating over the Beast Tide. Di Tian acknowledged humanity’s strength but had not yet agreed to withdraw his forces.

• Chen Ping claimed a Watchdog Timer beneath the Star Dou Forest would detonate Rank 9 Fixed Cannonballs if its signal stopped, making Di Tian fear for the Silver Dragon King's recovery.
• Chen Ping urged Di Tian to withdraw the Beast Tide and negotiate, warning that humanity was prepared to fight to mutual destruction if necessary.
• At the negotiating table, Di Tian argued that the Beast Tide was necessary to prevent Soul Beasts from being driven to extinction by Soul Masters and Soul Engineers.
• Chen Ping challenged Di Tian’s appeal to the strong devouring the weak and demanded that the Star Dou Forest withdraw unless it could break the Watchdog Timer.
• Bear Lord smashed the negotiating table, while Du Busi and Zi Ji threatened to continue fighting; Di Tian silenced them and admitted that humans had become rulers of the continent through their resourcefulness.

Chen Ping revealed a prototype Soul Tool that could create a Soul Ring, giving the humans and soul beasts a possible answer to the crisis threatening both worlds. The chapter ended with everyone staring in shock at the newly formed ring.

• Di Tian argued that Star Dou Forest would rather fight a Holy War than accept eventual destruction, and the human side fell silent because it had no solution.
• Chen Ping swept away the broken negotiating table and unveiled a silver pillar prototype, saying it might address the survival crisis facing both worlds.
• Chen Ping poured divine-power-infused lake water over the pillar and asked Du Busi to channel Soul Power into it.
• Du Busi sensed an ability that belonged only to gods, while a white ring of energy began forming at the pillar's base.
• Elder Xuan recognized the energy ring as a Soul Ring, shocking everyone present.

Chen Ping demonstrated an Artificial Soul Ring and used its potential to secure Star Dou Forest’s cooperation and the withdrawal of the Beast Tide. The chapter ended with him turning to negotiate compensation, leaving Di Tian’s smile frozen.

• A white Artificial Soul Ring emerged from the Dark Silver Pillar, and Ten Thousand Demons King confirmed it could be absorbed by Soul Masters of nearly any attribute.
• Chen Ping explained that Artificial Soul Rings required divine power and still faced problems with production speed and ring age, while concealing his political motives.

• Chen Ping asked Di Tian to discuss compensation, causing the Beast God’s smile to freeze.

• Chen Ping demanded Shrek City receive Soul Rings and Soul Bones from the Beast Tide and intact Soul Bones over ten thousand years old from the Star Dou Forest; Di Tian rejected the second demand and kept the corpses for the Soul Beast World.
• Di Tian argued that more than two hundred thousand Soul Beasts had died, while Chen Ping blamed the Beast Tide on Di Tian’s escalation and defended Shrek’s claim to compensation.
• Di Tian offered one hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, ten Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and a Fierce Beast Soul Bone; Chen Ping bargained until Di Tian doubled the quantities and added another Fierce Beast Soul Bone.
• Chen Ping accepted the compensation, then asked Di Tian for naturally shed Silver Dragon Scales and any spare Black Dragon Scales.

After Di Tian withdrew the Beast Tide, Shrek City celebrated its victory, and Chen Ping rewarded the Body Sect for its help. Du Busi revealed how he had created Dharma Form Manifestation and explained that its true form required becoming a Deity.

• Di Tian flew back toward the Star Dou Great Forest and roared, causing the soul beasts to withdraw from Shrek City.
• Shrek City’s defenders cheered their victory after holding off the Beast Tide for a day and night, despite their severe losses.
• Chen Ping thanked Du Busi and offered the Body Sect soul bones and future soul rings as compensation for its help.
• Chen Ping asked Du Busi about his transformation-proof pants, then asked how he had used One Hand Holds Up the Sky.
• Du Busi explained that he had combined Energy Armor with his Body Martial Soul to create Dharma Form Manifestation, a technique he believed could reach its true form only through godhood.

Chen Ping learned to imitate a Body Martial Soul’s Dharma Aspect and used his new finger technique to overpower Jin Peng Douluo, though the move drained him. He named the technique Dharma Aspect Sky-Rending Finger and headed into Shrek City to inspect Huo Yuhao’s teleportation device.

• Chen Ping questioned whether Soul Masters without Body Martial Souls could imitate a Body Dharma Aspect, and Du Busi realized the technique might not be exclusive to the Body Sect.
• Chen Ping formed a giant golden finger and challenged Jin Peng Douluo to test it.
• Chen Ping’s finger attack sent Jin Peng Douluo crashing into the ground, but the effort drained his Soul Power, blood energy, and Spiritual Power.
• Du Busi praised Chen Ping and tried to recruit him, but Elder Xuan dragged Du Busi away from Shrek City.
• Chen Ping named his technique Dharma Aspect Sky-Rending Finger and went to inspect Huo Yuhao’s teleportation device in Shrek City.

Xu Tianran and Zhong Li Wu agreed to exploit the Beast Tide to invade the Heaven Dou Empire while Shrek was occupied, and Xu Tianran promised the Holy Spirit Cult rewards. Chen Ping returned to the devastated Star Dou Great Forest and took poisoned Soul Beast corpses to strengthen his undead army.

• Zhong Li Wu told Xu Tianran that Shrek's heavy casualties would soon leave it vulnerable and that the Sun Moon Empire could conquer the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xu Tianran promised Zhong Li Wu a share of the conquered population and future power, while planning to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult if the Beast Tide destroyed Shrek.
• Zhong Li Wu agreed to lead Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses in an attack on the Heaven Dou Empire and try to capture its capital before Shrek City fell.
• Chen Ping returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and saw how the deaths of over two hundred thousand Soul Beasts had depleted its animal population.

• Chen Ping planned to turn the poisoned corpses into undead beasts for his army.

Chen Ping visited the Great Ferocious Land to collect Lake of Life water and exchange items with Di Tian. After explaining that he judged Soul Beasts and humans by their actions rather than their race, he left Di Tian impressed by his attitude.

• Chen Ping reached the Lake of Life, drank its water, and began diverting some into a reservoir in Qiankun Valley of Love Questioning.
• Di Tian emerged from the lake and delivered the requested Soul Bones and scales, then asked Chen Ping for a smaller Soul Ring-making device.
• Chen Ping gave Di Tian a palm-sized Deep Sea Dark Silver pillar that could make Artificial Soul Rings of up to ten years.
• Chen Ping explained that he had befriended some Soul Beasts and killed others when they threatened him, regardless of their race.
• Di Tian applauded Chen Ping after hearing his views on Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.

Di Tian hoped Chen Ping’s Artificial Soul Ring technology could allow humans and soul beasts to coexist, while Chen Ping kept the truth about the Dragon God and Tang San to himself. Di Tian gave Chen Ping his Inverse Scale for protection, and Chen Ping explained why ascending to the God Realm would put him at Tang San’s mercy.

• Di Tian imagined that Artificial Soul Rings might end the need for humans to hunt soul beasts and let the two sides coexist.
• Chen Ping considered the truth about the Dragon God and the God Realm but decided to wait until he had irrefutable evidence before telling Di Tian.
• Di Tian asked about the Sea God Family and gave Chen Ping his Inverse Scale to protect him from danger and the God Realm’s surveillance.
• Chen Ping recognized the scale’s purpose and said Tang San would investigate and eventually sacrifice him if he ascended to the God Realm.
• Chen Ping recalled how Tang San had maneuvered the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life into sacrificing themselves.
