Chapter Summaries

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun visited Holy Soul City's Civil Affairs Department, where they saw how the Red Assembly treated commoners and registered their marriage. The staff explained that legal marriage required the Red Assembly's certification, and Zhu Zhuyun asked whether the rule also curbed the power of Soul Master families.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun visited the Soul Master Medical Clinic, where Wei Sa explained why their Soul Power had stopped circulating and how their wrists could be treated. Wei Sa planned to prolong the procedure so Ye Lingling could study their meridians, leaving the couple unaware that they were being used as research specimens.

• Wei Sa examined Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun and concluded that their wrist meridians had become tangled, preventing them from restoring their Soul Power.

Zhou Qing’s assembly chose Chihua Kingdom as the new nation’s short name and planned its founding ceremony. He proposed using Romantina’s power to let everyone witness the announcement, while preparing the Red Aspect as a vessel for the resulting faith.

• Zhou Qing explained that the Red Assembly could establish a nation under its agreement with Xue Ye and discussed future plans for Heaven Dou Kingdom and cooperation with Heavenly Soul Kingdom.
• The assembly voted 363 to 206 to name the nation Chihua Kingdom rather than Gongxia Kingdom, then agreed on its flag, anthem, and founding date of September 29th.
• The assembly teased Zhou Qing about proposing to Romantina, but he clarified that he wanted her to help broadcast the nation’s founding across the whole country.
• Zhou Qing revealed the Red Aspect, refined from one of Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa Avatars, as a vessel for faith powerful enough to help more than two hundred Peerless Douluo become gods.

• Zhou Qing explained the Martial Cauldron Soul Furnace System, its stages of cultivation, and how its practitioners could eventually rival Chief Gods or God Kings.

• Zhou Qing confirmed that the Red Aspect could help the Red Assembly seize power in the God Realm and remove or reshape the foreign rules imposed on Earth.

Zhou Qing assigned Tang San to study the Red Aspect and announced plans to make the relevant truth public while keeping its technical details restricted. He invited Old Jack to stand with him and Tang San at the founding of the Chihua Kingdom on September 29, and agreed to rename the former Holy Soul Village area Douluo.

• Zhou Qing gave Tang San the Red Aspect and tasked him with researching the Power of Faith alongside several departments and the Tang Sect.

Zhou Qing and Romantina investigated how the Red Aspect could expand her information-gathering abilities before a tremor in Douluo Star’s space drew them back to the Red Assembly. They suspected an enormous energy source had appeared near the God Realm passage and prepared to investigate Merfolk Island, while Zhou Qing doubted the disturbance was a trap.

• Zhou Qing turned down Romantina’s marriage proposal and asked her to help study the Red Aspect’s powers and use her Nervous System Martial Soul to process information.
• Zhou Qing and Romantina stopped fooling around when they sensed a tremor across the planet and returned to the Red Assembly’s core department.
• Ariel reported that the Will of the Ocean sensed unease, and Romantina located the disturbance in the dimensional space containing the passage between the God Realm and Douluo Star.
• Tang San suspected the God Realm might be behind the disturbance, while Zhou Qing reasoned that their Inner Sceneries would have reacted differently if another timeline were involved.
• Zhou Qing judged that the sudden energy source was unlikely to be a trap and said they needed to investigate the passage from Merfolk Island.

Zhou Qing and his companions traveled to Merfolk Island to investigate the mysterious powerful object, visiting the Merfolk Ocean Museum before sending Red Aspect to probe the former Sea God’s Legacy grounds. Red Aspect reached the deep underwater realm, and the group watched its descent through Romantina’s inner scenery.

• Zhou Qing brought Romantina, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ariel, and Red Aspect to Merfolk Island, while Dugu Bo stayed behind to oversee the Red Assembly’s core departments.
• The group visited Red Assembly members working in Crimson Soul City, then went to the Merfolk Ocean Museum, where former Sea Princess Nicole served as administrator.
• Ariel told Nicole she would be released after two hundred years, and Xiao Wu joked about the fusion of Zhou Qing and Romantina.
• Zhou Qing and his companions chose to send Red Aspect into the Space Passage first, attaching their consciousnesses to it through their merged inner sceneries.
• Red Aspect descended underground into a deep underwater world and entered the former Sea God’s Legacy grounds without a Magic Array or energy sacrifice.

Zhou Qing and Tang San explored the ruins of the Sea God Hall and discovered its roof tiles were exceptionally valuable materials from the God Realm. Tang San realized they could use the fragments to build a Super Buddha Fury Tang Lotus capable of killing a Lord God, and Red Aspect began collecting the ruins as they prepared for a future confrontation with the God Realm.

• Red Aspect descended through the deep sea and revealed the ruined Sea God Hall to Zhou Qing and Tang San.
• Zhou Qing used Red Aspect to retrieve a golden Glazed Tile and recognized it as an extraordinarily durable material suited to Soul Tool construction.
• Tang San planned to use the Glazed Tile to develop a Super Buddha Fury Tang Lotus powerful enough to destroy a Lord God's divine body and soul.
• Tang San urged Zhou Qing to gather the ruins so they could eventually attack the God Realm with millions of Super Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses.
• Zhou Qing agreed to collect the fragments while warning that they still needed to develop renewable alloy materials, and Red Aspect began gathering the ruins.

Zhou Qing and the others entered the Divine Realm’s vast dimensional space through the Sea God Hall and absorbed its Immortal Spirit Qi, rapidly raising their Soul Power Levels to 99. Zhou Qing explained the next cultivation step, Create All Heavens, and the group continued onward while holding back from Level 100 so they could pursue that path.

• Zhou Qing activated the altar in the Sea God Hall, and Red Aspect crossed a blue-gold passage into a vast white space filled with Nine-Colored Clouds.
• Zhou Qing noticed spatial folds and tremors in the dimensional space, so he led the others toward them at Red Aspect’s immense speed.
• Red Aspect absorbed the Nine-Colored Clouds and transmitted them into the inner sceneries of Zhou Qing, Romantina, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ariel, raising all five to Soul Power Level 99.
• Zhou Qing explained that Create All Heavens would use the body’s acupoints to reflect the stars and form Small Worlds within the inner scenery.
• Zhou Qing and the others chose to remain at Level 99 while they cultivated their acupoints, since reaching Level 100 would fix their bodies’ energy pathways.

Zhou Qing prepared Red Aspect to use the power of his Five Viscera Temples, then sent it toward a battle between God Realm deities and Abyssal Creatures. Red Aspect’s arrival astonished both sides and the Four Great God Kings, who chose not to intervene.

• Zhou Qing’s Five Great Sacred Beasts reached First-rank Lord God strength, and he ordered them to support Red Aspect through the Five Viscera Temples if it encountered danger.
• Red Aspect found God Realm deities and Abyssal Creatures fighting around a vast magic array with thirty-six array cores.
• Tang Chen joined the battle and clashed with a white-haired Abyssal Creature wielding a Super Divine Artifact, overpowering him with the Asura Sword.
• Both armies stopped fighting and turned toward Red Aspect, puzzled by the crimson figure formed from the Power of Faith.
• The Four Great God Kings recognized that Red Aspect came from Douluo Star, considered intervening, and decided there was no need.

The Four Great God Kings planned to use the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars to establish a new Divine Realm, but Red Aspect seized the formation base while Tang Chen fought off the Abyssal Creatures. The passage between the Divine Realm and Douluo Star was destroyed, and the God Kings decided to watch Tang Chen as he clashed with the humans.

• The Four Great God Kings agreed to use the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars to connect Douluo Star to other Life Planets and establish a new Divine Realm.
• Red Aspect greeted the two groups, then expanded around the formation base and enveloped the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars.
• A strange man attacked Red Aspect with the Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd as Tang Chen struck with the Asura Blood Sword.
• Zhou Qing recognized the Magic Array Base and vanished, while Tang Chen wounded the strange man and unleashed the Killing Character Art.
• Tang Chen's attack killed the strange man, forced the Abyssal Creatures to close their vortex, and shattered the passage between the Divine Realm and Douluo Star.
• The God King of Goodness decided to leave Tang Chen on Douluo Star so the God Kings could observe the humans through him.

Zhou Qing and the others discovered that the Magic Array Base contained thirty-six Thought Power Pillars taken from the Divine Realm Central Hub and debated how to use them without alerting the Divine Realm. As they considered contacting the Silver Dragon King, Riko reached Zhou Qing through a Mental Child Sphere from Abyss Town.

• Chrysanthemum Pig lamented that Red Aspect had returned without fighting the Divine Realm's Deities, while Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and Ariel gathered around the Magic Array Base in Zhou Qing's Inner Scenery.
• Zhou Qing identified the thirty-six pillars as Thought Power Pillars from the Divine Realm Central Hub and reasoned that the Divine Realm had placed them in the Space Passage to lure in the Abyss Plane.
• Tang San sensed that the pillars were connected to Douluo Star and Five Elements Star, and Zhou Qing proposed that they might link thirty-four other Life Planets and their Cultivation Systems.
• Zhou Qing and the others debated how to use the Magic Array Base without alerting the Divine Realm, and Romantina noted that Tang Chen's Killing Character Art had severed the Space Passage.
• Riko contacted Zhou Qing through a Mental Child Sphere from Abyss Town and appeared before the group.

Riko told Zhou Qing that Mother had begun emitting a faint fluctuation, so he traveled with Tang San and Romantina to the Abyss Depths. There, they brought the Magic Array Base to Mother, whose response suggested it could help Earth connect with other planets.

• Riko reported that Mother was fluctuating as if awakening or trying to send a message, and Zhou Qing agreed to go to Abyss Town.
• Xiao Wu returned to Star Dou Town and Ariel went to Vast Sea City while Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina headed for the Abyss Depths.
• Zhou Qing explained that the Spirit Hall remained active in Abyss Town under the Red Assembly's rules, then descended with Tang San and Romantina to the Seventh Layer.
• Regu and Luo Si confirmed that the Abyss Depths shielded them from the God Realm and said Mother was yearning for something.
• Zhou Qing released the Red Aspect and Magic Array Base beside Mother, and Regu and Luo Si recognized the array as a system combining faith, spiritual thought power, and planetary laws.
• Luo Si proposed that rebuilding the Thought Power Pillars could connect Earth to other planets, while Regu said they could modify the array for their own purposes.

Regu and Luo Si prepared Mother and explained how an ancient Eight Trigrams model had been expanded into a 4,096-trigram formation capable of controlling the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars. The group learned the formation could theoretically support a dimensional space spanning the Milky Way, while the chapter left them considering the limits of divine power and physical law.

• Regu and Luo Si released Mother from her device, and the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars condensed into white spheres around her.
• Regu and Luo Si activated a complex Soul Tool Core Formation beneath Mother's stone seat.
• Luo Si explained how the yin-yang Eight Trigrams could predict trends, while Regu described how powerful individuals could only delay the course of Predetermined Fate.
• Luo Si said modern scientists had expanded the ancient sixty-four hexagrams into Four Thousand and Ninety-Six Trigrams after humanity reached a new spacetime and encountered a new energy source.
• Regu said the formation could control the Thirty-Six Thought Power Pillars and might outperform the Fourth-Dimensional Space's central Magic Array Base.
• Regu explained that a dimensional space built with the formation could theoretically span the Milky Way, while even Deities could not change the laws of physics.

Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina learned how small the Divine Realm was compared with the universe before Mother awakened through the Soul Tool Array and asked what humans should call her. Zhou Qing answered that she was a Soul Tool machine, and he began an intense exchange with her.

• Luo Si and Regu explained the Milky Way’s scale and said the Divine Realm controlled only about a hundred star systems.
• Zhou Qing and Tang San agreed they needed more people to help face the challenges ahead.
• The Thought Power Beads rearranged into the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Soul Tool Array, and Mother awakened with a connection to the three humans.
• Romantina called Mother Earth, while Tang San described her as the world and humanity’s home.
• Zhou Qing answered Mother’s question with “Soul Tool machine,” and their Aura Fields connected as blue-white electric arcs appeared.
• Zhou Qing told Romantina that he and Mother were having a deep exchange, prompting her to ask whether it was proper.

Zhou Qing connected his Aura Field with Earth's consciousness and witnessed the planet's evolution and humanity's rise, understanding why Mother had grown emotionally attached to humankind. He ended the deep communication without answering Romantina's question, and Tang San and Romantina asked if he was all right and what the experience felt like.

• Zhou Qing's consciousness entered darkness and witnessed the formation of a star system, Earth's birth, and the evolution of life through repeated catastrophes.
• Zhou Qing saw how human intelligence and civilization transformed nature, eventually saving Earth from the sun and earning Earth's favor.
• Zhou Qing realized Mother wished to advance alongside humanity and understood the risks of pursuing higher-dimensional knowledge without connection to living beings.
• Zhou Qing concluded that Mother was wise because she valued the thoughts and emotions of sentient creatures while refraining from directing their actions.
• Zhou Qing ended his Aura Field connection with Mother, and Tang San and Romantina asked how he was and what deep-level communication felt like.

Zhou Qing and the others heard Gaia’s final wishes and learned Regu and Luo Si’s plan to create the Three Realms. They traveled to Lie Yan’s prosperous Underground World, where Romantina mistook a little girl for Zhou Qing’s secret child.

• Zhou Qing shared his vision of the world’s history and explained that Gaia had chosen to wait for all Earth’s living beings to return to her.
• Tang San knelt and kowtowed to Gaia, who named herself before closing her eyes.
• Regu and Luo Si explained their plan to use the Yang Fish Base and Yin Fish Foundation to create the Heavenly Court, Underworld, and Human World.
• Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina arrived in Lie Yan’s Underground World and saw how much it had developed.
• Romantina tried to pat a little girl’s head, and the girl complained to Zhou Qing before Romantina asked if she was his child with Lie Yan.

Zhou Qing and his companions visited Lie Yan after she gained a real body and asked her to support the Three Realms Underworld project. Lie Yan agreed, then introduced them to her flame-energy clone, whose playful exchange with her prompted Zhou Qing to suspect they acted like split personalities.

• Lie Yan proudly declared herself the Empress, but Romantina spanked her and sent the city’s inhabitants fleeing.
• Lie Yan complained about the needs of her new body, while Tang San learned that the Underground Creatures believed she was Lie Yan’s biological daughter.
• Luo Si explained how the Yin Fish Foundation could merge with Five Elements Star’s core and create a Fourth-Dimensional Space for travel among the life planets.
• Lie Yan objected to the extra work of receiving souls but agreed to help establish the Three Realms Underworld.
• Zhou Qing and the others met Lie Yan’s busy clone, who exchanged teasing remarks with her original body.

Zhou Qing and his companions descended into Five Elements Star’s core to investigate how they could establish a prototype Fourth-Dimensional Space. They discovered the core’s extreme danger and discussed the Karma Fire Red Lotus and the quantum technology that Luo Si and Regu would use to build the space.

• The Lie Yan Clone led Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina to the Magma Core Lake beneath Heart of the Earth City and explained that it was not Five Elements Star’s true core.
• Little Lie Yan revealed that her Earth Fire Red Lotus had evolved into the Karma Fire Red Lotus, a growing Super Divine Artifact whose flame could burn energy and souls.
• The group descended through increasingly hot magma and found Five Elements Star’s black-and-white core, over thirty kilometers in diameter.
• Zhou Qing proposed that he and Luo Si approach the core using Inner Scenery, but Luo Si explained that only she and Regu could activate the 4,096 Magic Arrays needed to open a prototype Fourth-Dimensional Space.
• Luo Si explained Quantum Superposition, Quantum Entanglement, and the Quantum No-Cloning Theorem to Tang San and the others, and Zhou Qing concluded that the Red Assembly needed Quantum Communication as a safeguard.
