Chapter Summaries

Li Chang'an realized that divine power could transform an inheritor’s constitution during a god exam, so he decided Ah Yin could inherit the Earth God Position despite the usual restrictions on Soul Beasts. After he gave her the Godhood and set her first test, Ah Yin began condensing her first Soul Ring.

• Li Chang'an concluded that god exams gradually transform inheritors to match their God Positions, making separate constitution changes unnecessary.
• Li Chang'an told Ah Yin that he intended for her to inherit the Earth God Position, and she agreed.
• Li Chang'an gave Ah Yin the Earth God Godhood and began her nine tests, with the first requiring her to obtain a Soul Ring and reach level 10.
• Li Chang'an confirmed that a Soul Ring Ah Yin condensed herself would count toward the first test.
• Ah Yin sat down and condensed a yellow Hundred Year Soul Ring.

Ah Yin began the Earth God Exam, and Li Chang'an carefully helped her adapt to the divine power that transformed her body. Over six years, she completed the first eight tests, reached level 99, and fully developed her Earth God Body, leaving her ready to inherit the Earth God position by completing the Ninth Test.

• Ah Yin condensed her first hundred-year soul ring, passed the First Test, and received level 20 soul power and 10% Earth God Affinity.
• Li Chang'an spent a day and night infusing Ah Yin with Earth God Divine Power, then told her to pause so her soul could adapt to her transformed body.
• After three months of training, Ah Yin condensed her second soul ring, passed the Second Test, and received level 30 soul power and another 10% affinity.
• Ah Yin continued training under Li Chang'an as he made the God Exam tests easy, granting her soul power and God-given Soul Rings as rewards.
• Over six years, Ah Yin completed the first eight tests, reached level 99 with all her soul rings filled, and attained 100% Earth God Affinity, leaving only the Ninth Test before inheriting the Earth God position.

Ah Yin began the Earth God’s final trial and entered the Earth God Hall to inherit the godhood. Li Chang'an remotely oversaw the process, forging her divine attire and the Simuwu Seal as her exclusive divine artifact.

• Li Chang'an started Ah Yin’s Earth God Ninth Test, and she stepped through the Sacred Gate into a world of mountains and yellow stone.
• Ah Yin walked to the Earth God Hall and climbed the steps to its summit, where the Earth God Godhood drew her inside.
• Li Chang'an monitored Ah Yin’s inheritance and used a prepared set of soul bones to forge her divine attire.
• Li Chang'an shaped the earth-essence divine stone into a jade seal called the Simuwu Seal.
• Ah Yin’s inheritance neared its end as she prepared to put on the black-and-gold divine attire Li Chang'an had designed.

After Ah Yin inherited the Earth God Position, Li Chang'an considered how to distribute the remaining elemental god positions. He settled on Ye Lingling as one recipient and weighed three other women for the final two positions.

• Ah Yin emerged from the Earth God Inheritance Space with the Simuwu Seal and told Li Chang'an that she had successfully inherited the Earth God Position.
• Li Chang'an praised Ah Yin and urged her to master her divine authority so she could regain her strength quickly after ascending to the God Realm.
• Li Chang'an considered distributing the remaining god positions to secure allies and prevent the Seven Elements God from reclaiming them.
• Li Chang'an rejected Feng Xiaotian as a candidate for the Wind God Position and considered Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong instead.
• Li Chang'an decided Ye Lingling should receive a god position, leaving Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Ning Rongrong to compete for the other two.

Li Chang'an studied the masterless Rakshasa God and Angel God inheritances and created a Level One Demon God position. He assigned the Demon God, Wind God, and Light God positions to Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu, respectively.

• Li Chang'an realized he could study the Rakshasa God and Angel God positions to help him create a new God position.
• Li Chang'an spent several years examining the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and Angel God's Inheritance Soul Bone Set, then devised the Demon God position from concepts associated with the Rakshasa God and Angel God.
• Li Chang'an chose Ning Rongrong to inherit the Demon God position, Shui Bing'er to inherit the Wind God position, and Huo Wu to inherit the Light God position.
• Li Chang'an reasoned that Ning Rongrong could inherit the Demon God position without becoming evil if she held fast to her true heart.

Over the decades after assigning ten Level One God positions, Li Chang'an helped their inheritors ascend smoothly while strengthening his faith and preparing the Douluo Empire for the gods’ eventual departure. He established a divine succession for the empire and Spirit Hall, leaving the continent peaceful and governed by his followers.

• Li Chang'an issued tailored God Exams and helped the chosen inheritors transfer ten Level One God positions within ten years.

• Spirit Hall became the Douluo Empire’s state religion, worshiped the Great Element God King, and helped awaken souls and maintain peace.
• Li Chang'an appointed a child to become Spirit Hall’s pontiff and made the Great Element God King Soul appear only among devout believers, limiting it to two holders who could train the next pope.

After a century of refining his understanding of the laws, Li Chang'an prepared to ascend with the ten Divine Beings under him. Their spectacular ceremony opened a passage to the God Realm and blessed countless people, and the Douluo Empire established annual holidays in their honor.

• Li Chang'an used the ten holders of God Positions to advance his comprehension of the laws to the initial stage of a God King and announced the Ascension Ceremony.
• The Douluo Empire built a vast Ascension Platform, where crowds gathered to witness the ten Divine Beings and Li Chang'an arrive in pillars of light.

The Five Great God Kings investigated a spectacular ascension and discovered that it involved eleven Divine Beings, including the newly born Great Element God King and an unfamiliar God Position. They activated the Reception Platform and gathered to greet the ascending group, while the God Realm’s Divine Beings watched in anticipation.

• The Five Great God Kings saw a Light Screen showing eleven Divine Beings and realized the ten surrounding the central figure were the Sea God, the Ice God, and the Seven Elements God.
• The God Kings found that the God Realm Central Authority listed only the central figure’s Great Element God King God Position, while an extra God Position resembled the Rakshasa God's but had no clear origin.
• The Evil God suggested waiting to question the ascending Divine Beings, and the God Kings activated the Reception Platform to guide them into the God Realm.
• A massive multicolored pillar of light erupted from the Reception Platform and drew the attention of God Officials and Divine Beings across the God Realm.
• The Five Great God Kings appeared in person to receive the group, and onlookers suspected the newcomer was the newly born God King.

Li Chang'an and ten companions ascended to the God Realm, where the Immortal Spiritual Energy rapidly raised their strength and Li Chang'an became a God King. The five God Kings welcomed them to the God Realm Committee, where Li Chang'an learned that his arrival had changed the distribution of authority over the God Realm Central Authority.

• Li Chang'an and the ten others appeared on the Ascension Platform as Immortal Spiritual Energy surged through the God Realm.
• Li Chang'an absorbed much of the energy and reached God King-level strength, while Ah Yin, Dugu Yan, and Xue Ke reached Level One God.
• The eleven newcomers consumed forty percent of the God Realm's Immortal Spiritual Energy, astonishing the watching Divine Beings with Li Chang'an's nine-ring halo.
• The five God Kings welcomed Li Chang'an and his companions and invited them to the God Realm Committee.
• Li Chang'an learned that the God Kings' Central Authority access had shifted from five equal shares to six after he ascended.

• Li Chang'an learned why the God Realm had banned nonhuman ascension after the Dragon God War and why the God Kings considered him one of their own.
• The five God Kings asked Li Chang'an where Dugu Yan and the others' ten Level One God Positions came from, and he said he had divided them from his Great Element God King God Position.
• Li Chang'an concealed that inheritors of his subordinate God Positions helped him cultivate, while the five God Kings accepted his explanation and stopped asking for the method.
• The five God Kings gave Li Chang'an an official residence and monthly cultivation resources for him and his ten Level One Gods.

The chapter recounted how Douluo Continent remained stable under Spirit Hall for millennia before the arrival of Sun Moon Continent sparked war and political upheaval. It left the merged lands nominally united under the Douluo Empire, while four kingdoms acted independently, including the Star Luo Kingdom ruled by the Xu Family.

• After Li Chang'an and the other Divine Beings ascended, the Spirit Hall Popes maintained order in the Douluo Empire for thousands of years.
• At the end of the sixth millennium, Sun Moon Continent collided with Douluo Continent, and the two unified nations went to war.

• The Star Luo descendants established the Star Luo Kingdom under the Xu Family, while the Dai Family retained its title as White Tiger Duke.

Ten thousand years after Li Chang'an’s ascension, the Douluo Continent remained divided among one empire and four kingdoms, while Spirit Hall continued its widespread services. Li Chang'an sensed fortune gathering around both humans and Soul Beasts and considered guiding the coming Child of Fortune toward alternatives to Soul Rings.

• Spirit Hall had become estranged from the Douluo Empire as generations of emperors reclaimed its authority, and the continent had settled into one empire and four kingdoms.
• Spirit Hall continued awakening martial souls for free and distributing subsidies to eligible Soul Masters using funds supplied by local governments.
• Li Chang'an observed the continent through his God Realm self and lower-realm clone, adapting to the difference in how time passed between the two realms.
• Li Chang'an sensed Douluo's fortune forming a vortex that split between humans and Soul Beasts, signaling that Douluo 2 had begun.
• Li Chang'an considered guiding the unknown Child of Fortune to develop alternatives such as Self-Condensing Soul Rings or artificial Soul Rings, since the Demon Clan might eliminate Soul Beasts.

Huo Yuqing fled the Duke’s Mansion after her mother’s death, vowing to return and take revenge. As she left, she recalled how the Duchess had mistreated them and how her weak martial-soul awakening changed her father’s attitude toward her.

• Huo Yuqing slipped out of the Duke’s Mansion, took her mother’s surname, and vowed to trample the estate beneath her feet one day.
• Huo Yuqing remembered how the Duchess had sent her and Huo Yun'er to live in a woodshed and cut off their money while pretending to treat them well whenever the White Tiger Duke returned.

Li Chang'an settled into the God Realm as the Great Element God King, establishing divine palaces for his allies and gaining the Five Great God Kings’ tacit approval for his beast-god subordinates. He began granting available God Positions to talented people from the lower realms, strengthening the God Realm as it prepared for possible threats from other galaxies.

• Huo Wu and Shui Bing’er apologized after accidentally bringing up Huo Yuqing’s painful past, then offered to help her hunt a soul beast.
• Huo Yuqing declined their offer despite knowing how dangerous the forest was, and Li Chang’an noticed her fortune had consumed One Tenth of Fortune after she met them.

• Huo Yuqing reached a warning sign for the Star Dou Great Forest, gripped her White Tiger Dagger, and entered, determined to become a Soul Master.

Huo Yuqing entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone to obtain her first Soul Ring, while Li Chang'an and the goddesses Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er secretly watched over her. After a wild boar chased her into a desperate flight, Li Chang'an stopped Huo Wu from intervening and prepared to give Huo Yuqing a great opportunity.

• Huo Yuqing entered the dangerous forest because she could not afford an academy and needed a Soul Ring to begin her Soul Master training.
• Li Chang'an, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er watched over Huo Yuqing from above, and Li Chang'an argued that her poor aptitude might come from malnutrition rather than a weak Martial Soul.
