Chapter Summaries

Chen Ming explained how an improved Soul Spirit system could let powerful soul beasts shed their soul-beast nature and pursue godhood. He left Snow Empress with a possible path forward, while the precise method for breaking the sacrifice contract remained undeveloped.

• Chen Ming argued that ordinary Soul Spirits would not solve the soul beasts’ predicament and could instead fuel their exploitation through inheritance.
• Chen Ming told Snow Empress that Soul Rings were not the true distinction between soul beasts and humans; the seven-ring Martial Soul Avatar marked a transformed beast’s change into a true human soul master.
• Chen Ming explained that Soul Rings could strip away a transformed beast’s traits until its soul-beast form became a martial soul, offering a route for powerful Soul Spirits to escape heavenly tribulations and seek godhood.
• Chen Ming said Snow Empress could likely awaken the ability to condense Soul Rings by becoming a Soul Spirit, while Ice Empress still needed to stabilize her spiritual body into a new form of life.
• Chen Ming explained that a Soul Spirit had to interrupt the sacrifice contract through a special method to keep its benefits while avoiding its cost.

Chen Ming persuaded Snow Empress to give up her cultivation and become a Soul Spirit using the God Sealing Platform as her vessel, then began preparing her sacrifice. Meanwhile, Mu En received a delayed message from the Sea God about Reincarnation Continent and realized their communications crossed through time.

• Chen Ming released the God Sealing Platform's seal, gave it to Tian Meng, and began Snow Empress's sacrifice with Electrolux's help.
• Mu En received a message from the Sea God ordering him to investigate Reincarnation Continent, another continent on Douluo Star.
• Mu En concluded that the Sea God's message had been delayed and wondered how long messages between them took to arrive.

Chen Ming completed the Soul Nurturing Coffin and transformed Snow Empress into a sealed Soul Spirit whose cultivation would strengthen her Soul Ring. With Snow Empress stable but occupied with cultivation, Chen Ming turned to Du Busi and prepared to pursue another grievance.

• Chen Ming absorbed Snow Empress's sacrifice, sealed its energy, and formed the Soul Nurturing Coffin as his sixth soul ring.
• Snow Empress's power raised Chen Ming's third Soul Ring to nearly two hundred thousand years, while Chen Ming expected the sealed energy to strengthen it further.
• Chen Ming and Tian Meng used a formation and the God Sealing Platform to stabilize and seal Snow Empress's spiritual body, separating her from Chen Ming.
• Snow Empress began cultivating by gathering her power into the Soul Ring that formed the foundation of her Soul Spirit body.
• After confirming Snow Empress was stable, Chen Ming told Du Busi it was time to avenge another grievance.

Chen Ming challenged Zhang Lexuan before Shrek Academy and fought her with his first three Soul Skills, overwhelming her attacks with explosive offense and powerful defense.

• Zhang Lexuan used her eighth Soul Skill, Moon Radiance, covering Chen Ming in an enormous white domain that blocked sight and Spiritual Power.

Chen Ming survived Zhang Lexuan’s eighth soul skill by using the Soul Nurturing Coffin, then absorbed her moonlight and turned the fight in his favor. As Du Busi and Mu En clashed, thirteen hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gathered at Vast Sea Island.

• Mu En refused to provide the soul bones and admitted Shrek had been wrong at Star Luo City, so Du Busi demanded the promised item instead.
• Mu En recognized that Chen Ming was owed half of the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin but could not reveal it or allow Chen Ming to devour it.

• Du Busi demanded that Mu En hand over what he owed Chen Ming, while Mu En refused to let Chen Ming devour the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin.
• Mu En considered how to involve the Body Sect in Shrek’s dangerous expedition to Reincarnation Continent.
• Mu En told Du Busi that Reincarnation Continent was as large as the Star Luo Empire and invited the Body Sect to join Shrek’s exploration.
• Du Busi questioned whether the continent existed and feared Mu En was luring him into danger.
• Mu En offered to send a Sea God’s Pavilion elder and suggested Reincarnation Continent might be rich in minerals, prompting Du Busi to consider its potential.

Chen Ming agreed to help Shrek and the Body Sect explore the Reincarnation Continent, then revealed that he had visited it before and proposed searching for another continent. He and Du Busi began combining sea charts and coastal maps to reconstruct the plane as a sphere, leaving the other continent’s location still to be determined.

• Mu En persuaded Du Busi to explore the Reincarnation Continent, and Chen Ming agreed after learning Shrek would send powerful Soul Masters.
• Du Busi agreed on the condition that Shrek would not interfere when the Body Sect held the Star Luo Imperial Family accountable, while Mu En failed to secure Chen Ming’s help treating Ma Xiaotao.
• Chen Ming told Du Busi that he had previously visited the Reincarnation Continent and that he had obtained his Hundred-Thousand-Year True Dragon Soul Bones through a small world there.

• Chen Ming and Du Busi matched islands on the sea chart with coastlines on the Douluo Continent map, joining the maps into an irregular three-dimensional sphere.

Chen Ming used a reconstructed map to infer that Douluo Plane was spherical and locate a likely direction for other continents. Du Busi secured three eastern provinces for the Body Sect, leaving Xu Jiawei facing protests from Shrek Academy.

• After Body Sect reinforcements arrived in Black Dragon City, Du Busi led them toward the Xuanming Sect while Xuan Zi was still chasing the Evil Soul Masters.

Chen Ming prepared to seize the eastern provinces and discovered that Sea Soul Beasts might be gathering under the Sea God’s orders. He mobilized Reincarnation Continent’s strongest Soul Masters for an expedition and went to Dragon Valley, leaving Su Su to prepare for a possible attack.

• Chen Ming met Ye Guyi, who told him that Suspended Valley might contain the Angel God’s divine position, and he agreed to investigate it later.
• After returning to Reincarnation City, Chen Ming warned Su Su that Sea Soul Beasts could include human-form Fierce Beasts and ordered her not to provoke unfamiliar powerhouses.
• Chen Ming told Su Su to gather three thousand military organizers and summon Soul Masters above Soul King from the empire and its three major sects for an expedition to another continent.
• Chen Ming left for Dragon Valley and said he would return within three days, while Su Su feared Reincarnation Continent could not withstand the gathering Sea Soul Beasts.

Chen Ming entered Dragon Valley to study its Dragon Clouds and Soul Power-suppressing mechanism, while the Auspicious Beast remained content to stay at the Lake of Life despite Di Tian’s concerns. The dragon souls in Dragon Valley noticed Chen Ming collecting Dragon Clouds, and one joined his Soul Nurturing Coffin as a witness.

• Chen Ming observed the Sea Soul Beasts gathering around Vast Sea Island and suspected Tang San planned to seize Dragon Valley’s opportunities again.
• At the Lake of Life, the Auspicious Beast refused to leave, and Di Tian worried that the lingering soul of a thousand-year Canine Soul Beast was changing her nature and abilities.
• Chen Ming entered Dragon Valley unseen with Electrolux’s help and decided to study its Soul Power-suppressing mechanism and Dragon Clouds.
• Chen Ming used his Soul Nurturing Coffin to collect Dragon Clouds, drawing a hostile dragon soul from the depths of Dragon Valley.

Chen Ming discovered that three Sea God-backed Fierce Beasts were sealing the Dragon God's inheritance with Uncertain Wind Waves and prepared to ambush them inside Dragon Valley. Meanwhile, the starving Hongchen siblings remained trapped in the Undead Demiplane.

• Three Fierce Beasts reached the inner valley in Dragon's Graveyard and began forming a barrier with the Sea God's power.
• Chen Ming arrived in Dragon's Graveyard, sensed the Sea God's power, and saw three Uncertain Wind Waves halos rising around the inheritance site.
• Chen Ming identified the Fierce Beasts as a Phantom Demon Octopus, a Ghost Seahorse, and a Blood Soul Shark, then concealed himself to observe them.
• Chen Ming waited for Tang San's divine power to run out and told Electrolux to prepare the Undead Demiplane in case the Fierce Beasts tried to escape.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, still trapped in the Undead Demiplane, faced starvation as Xiao Hongchen urged them to stop wasting away.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen planned to gather supplies and fight the Undead Creatures, while Chen Ming attacked the three Fierce Beasts in Dragon Valley and sent them into the Undead Demiplane. The chapter ended with the Hongchen siblings facing the newly arrived enemies and Xiao Hongchen narrowly dodging a falling block of ice.

• Xiao Hongchen prepared to dismantle his Soul Guiding Cannons for ammunition, while Meng Hongchen urged caution and proposed gradually wiping out the Undead Creatures.
• Chen Ming confirmed that the three Fierce Beasts had nearly exhausted Tang San's divine power, and Electrolux warned him to prevent any residual power from escaping the Undead Demiplane.
• Chen Ming ambushed the Phantom Demon Octopus, then used the God Suppressing Stele and his Ice Fire Power to injure it and stop the Ghost Seahorse and Blood Soul Shark from fleeing.
• Electrolux opened portals to the Undead Demiplane, and Chen Ming sent the Ghost Seahorse, Blood Soul Shark, and Phantom Demon Octopus inside before following them.
• The Hongchen siblings saw powerful Soul Power auras appear overhead, and Xiao Hongchen dodged a block of ice that crashed down where he had stood.

Chen Ming had Electrolux kill three Sea Soul Beasts so their bodies could be turned into undead, then studied the soul flames created by the process. After waking from three days in the Soul Nurturing Coffin, he found his understanding of souls had deepened and the coffin had grown stronger.

• Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen recovered a block of Extreme Ice containing a charred octopus tentacle, while Chen Ming arrived and went to the three Fierce Beasts.
• Chen Ming asked Electrolux to preserve the beasts' bodies, and Electrolux killed the Phantom Demon Octopus, Ghost Seahorse, and Blood Soul Shark with light-infused sword strikes.
• Electrolux began transforming the three Sea Soul Beasts into undead, while Chen Ming studied the soul flames and reflected on his path of Reincarnation.
• Chen Ming's soul was nourished as he observed the transformation, and he entered the Soul Nurturing Coffin and slept for three days.
• Chen Ming woke with a deeper understanding of souls and confirmed that the Soul Nurturing Coffin had become a soul ring that could continue to evolve.

Chen Ming organized Soul Masters and skilled workers into teams to establish Reincarnation Halls and expand his influence, then visited Suspended Valley with Ye Guyi to investigate an Angel God ruin. He discovered faith power on its stone stele but could not move it, so he told Ye Guyi to use her Sacred Fire to control it.

• Electrolux finished refining the Sea God's power from the three Fierce Beasts, and Chen Ming postponed the next resource delivery after seeing the Hongchen siblings eat octopus tentacles.
• Chen Ming gathered Dragon Cloud Beast Souls, left Dragon Valley and Vast Sea Island, and brought the Reincarnation Empire's Soul Masters and skilled workers into the Undead Demiplane.
• Chen Ming told Su Su to watch Vast Sea Island, then dispatched five teams to establish Reincarnation Halls and expand the Reincarnation Empire's influence across the Star Luo Empire.
• Chen Ming waited for Du Busi, then summoned Ye Guyi and traveled with her to Suspended Valley.
• Ye Guyi showed Chen Ming the Angel God stele and explained how it had emerged from underground after she cultivated nearby.
• Chen Ming sensed divine and faith power on the stele, failed to move it, and instructed Ye Guyi to use her Sacred Fire to control it.

Chen Ming helped Ye Guyi complete the stele’s baptism, then discovered that the Angel God’s shattered God Position held no angel power and could not connect with her. He took the remaining Light Authority for Electrolux, while the Reincarnation Disk showed Ye Guyi five visions of Chen Ming’s death.

• Ye Guyi used her evolved Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to awaken the stele and receive its baptism as Chen Ming investigated beneath it.
• Chen Ming uncovered a shattered God Position that Qian Renxue had nurtured with the faith of Spirit Hall.
• Ye Guyi could not sense or merge with the God Position, and Electrolux confirmed that it contained no angel power.
• Chen Ming reasoned that Qian Renxue had distributed the angel-related fragments and taken the remaining Light Authority for Electrolux.
• Chen Ming summoned the Reincarnation Disk, whose mirror showed Ye Guyi five different scenes of his death.
