Chapter Summaries

Lu Jun’s attack shattered Ah Yin’s body, leaving Tang San stunned and vulnerable as he and his allies pressed their assault. Tang San fled toward the opening in the barrier while Tang Wutong tried to shield him, and the Ice Abyss Sword broke free of its seal and returned to Lu Jun.

• Ah Yin’s body burst apart under the Ice Abyss Sword’s power, and Lu Jun nearly struck Tang San from behind before dodging Tang San’s reflexive counterattack.
• Tang San swore vengeance on Lu Jun, who revealed that Ice Golem Tang Hao had approached from behind with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San struck Ice Golem Tang Hao away, then faltered at the sight of his father’s face, allowing Lu Jun and the others to launch another attack.
• Wounded and exhausted, Tang San fled toward the gap in the barrier, while Tang Wutong unleashed her divine powers to block his pursuers.
• Lu Jun summoned the sealed Ice Abyss Sword, whose golden runes shattered as it flew back into his hand and boosted his aura.

Lu Jun used the Ice Abyss Sword to freeze Tang Wutong and trap Tang San, who detonated his God King Origin to deny Lu Jun its power. The explosion weakened when Tang San began fighting himself, and Chen Xinjie's voice emerged from him, questioning the Sea God Ancestor.

• Lu Jun unleashed Instant Eternity with the Ice Abyss Sword, freezing Tang Wutong and imprisoning Tang San.
• Tang San realized Lu Jun wanted the God King Origin within him and ignited it in a self-destruction.
• Gu Yue Na shielded Lu Jun from the energy storm as the others were forced back.
• The storm weakened, and Tang San's left side began physically battling his right side.
• Chen Xinjie's voice came from Tang San, asking whether this was the answer Tang San had given his family and believers.

Tang San revealed that the Sea God Family’s generations of faith and advancement had served his interests, while Chen Xinjie’s suppressed will awakened inside Tang San’s vessel and challenged him. Chen Xinjie’s faith collapsed under Tang San’s contempt, and he began recalling his family’s devotion and his father’s dying appeal.

• Lu Jun realized his Instant Eternity had helped awaken Chen Xinjie’s suppressed will within Tang San’s body.
• Chen Xinjie confronted Tang San, accusing him of using the Sea God Family and its believers as disposable sacrifices.
• Tang San admitted he had secretly helped generations of the family reach the Limit Douluo level and said their faith and prayers were worth only occasional favors.
• Tang San told Chen Xinjie to cooperate and let him use the God King Power to self-destruct, dismissing Chen Xinjie as a tool and a shell.
• Chen Xinjie’s faith broke as Tang San’s words crushed his hopes.
• Chen Xinjie recalled his family’s generations of worship and his father’s dying request that he uphold their faith in the Sea God.

Chen Xinjie confronted Tang San over the Sea God's deception and sacrificed his final strength to trap Tang San's power. Lu Jun froze and killed them both, leaving Tang San's Asura power behind as Chen Xinjie fell.

• Chen Xinjie accused Tang San of treating his family’s ten thousand years of faith and sacrifice as tools for his own purposes.
• Tang San dismissed Chen Xinjie's devotion and claimed his family’s strength came from the Divine Power he had bestowed.
• Chen Xinjie imprisoned Tang San's God King Power in his body and called on Lu Jun to act before he lost control.
• Lu Jun struck Tang San with the Ice Abyss Sword, freezing both Tang San's divine soul and Chen Xinjie's remnant soul.
• Chen Xinjie thanked Lu Jun and died, and Lu Jun severed the frozen body's head, ending Tang San's hold on it.
• Tang San's Asura power separated from Chen Xinjie's lifeless body, and Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie fell.

After defeating Tang San, Lu Jun and the others recovered from the battle and gained a major increase in cultivation. Lu Jun considered what to do with Tang San’s remaining God King Power and decided it should be put to use rather than left behind or destroyed.

• After Chen Xinjie died and Tang San’s God King Power was stripped away, the barriers collapsed and the devastated valley was revealed.
• The temporary God King power faded from Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Sidu, Long Chen, and Tang Wulin, while their cultivation rose; Lu Jun’s Soul Power stabilized at Level 97.
• Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu acknowledged that the battle was over, and Xu Xiaoyan recalled how narrowly they had prevented Tang San from escaping.
• Gu Yue Na, exhausted and weakened, asked Lu Jun what he intended to do with the ownerless God King Power.
• Lu Jun said the power could neither be left behind nor safely destroyed, and resolved to put it to use.

Lu Jun prepared to fuse the God King Power with the Ice Abyss Sword and rise to God Kinghood, while Huo Yuhao secretly watched from a distant peak. Huo Yuhao decided not to intervene, but judged that Lu Jun was still not strong enough to surpass him.

• Lu Jun resolved to absorb the God King Power with the Ice Abyss Sword and use it to gain God King-level strength.
• Gu Yue Na worried that the Cosmic Law would oppose the birth of a God King beyond its control.
• Huo Yuhao watched the battle unseen from a mountain peak, accompanied by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked whether they should still follow their plan, and Huo Yuhao said there was no need to intervene because Lu Jun and the others had defeated Tang San's God King Incarnation themselves.
• Huo Yuhao acknowledged Lu Jun's strength but declared that Lu Jun was not yet stronger than him.

Huo Yuhao resolved to seize Lu Jun’s power to pursue revenge and protect those he cared about, then returned with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. In the God Realm Committee, the four God Kings gathered for an imminent battle, but Tang San had not arrived.

• Huo Yuhao told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm he was willing to fight beside Lu Jun if Lu Jun proved stronger, but otherwise intended to control him as a weapon.
• Huo Yuhao recalled how Ju Zi and his friends died while he was powerless, and declared that he would pay any price to gain enough strength for revenge.
• Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm left the mountain in secret before the Thousand Ancient Family could notice their absence.
• The Evil God King, Good God King, Destruction Divine King, and Life God King gathered at the God Realm Committee as temporal-spatial turbulence cut off much of the God Realm’s contact with other worlds.
• The Destruction Divine King questioned why Tang San had not arrived for the meeting despite the imminent battle of the gods.

The God Kings discovered Tang San unconscious and gravely weakened in his Sea God Temple after he failed to attend an important meeting. Life God King found that an unknown force had damaged his divine soul and was irreversibly stripping away the power of his Sea God position.

• Evil God King, Destruction Divine King, Life God King, and Good God King waited for Tang San at the God Realm Committee, but he did not arrive.
• Life God King persuaded the other God Kings to go to Tang San's temple, where they heard Xiao Wu calling for help from his bedroom.
• The four God Kings entered and found Xiao Wu beside an unconscious Tang San, whose divine power was rapidly fading.
• Life God King examined Tang San and discovered that a powerful force had injured his divine body and divine soul and fundamentally damaged the sources of his divine positions.
• Life God King told the others that Tang San's Sea God power was being irreversibly stripped away and would eventually disappear.

Tang San’s allies learned that he had returned gravely wounded and stripped of the Sea God Divine Position, while his consciousness seethed with plans for revenge. In the valley, Lu Jun tried to absorb the God King Power with the Ice Abyss Sword, but the sword warned him of danger and pulled him into a vision of the future.

• Life God King recounted Tang San’s losses, and the God Kings agreed to focus on saving him and stabilizing his divine position.
• Destruction Divine King questioned Tang San’s choices and mocked his defeat, then fell silent at Life God King’s urging.
• Tang San’s unconscious mind relived Lu Jun’s defeat of him and his family’s losses, and he vowed to awaken and take revenge.
• Lu Jun channeled his Soul Power into the Ice Abyss Sword to absorb the God King Power.
• The Ice Abyss Sword trembled in terror, warned Lu Jun, and dragged his consciousness into a fragmented vision of the future.

The Ice Abyss Sword showed Lu Jun a future in which his attempt to absorb the God King Power triggered the Cosmic Law, led to the Abyss invasion, and ended in Douluo Star’s destruction. He awoke from the vision shaken and realized that absorbing the power could doom everyone.

• The Ice Abyss Sword showed Lu Jun failing to become a God King when a mysterious law barrier stopped his ascension and wounded him.
• Gu Yue Na tried to transform into the Dragon God to break the barrier, but the Cosmic Law bound her and shattered Douluo Star’s plane seal.
• The Abyss invaded Douluo Star, overwhelmed its defenders, and swallowed Gu Yue Na despite the counterattack led by Yue Zhengyu, Tang Wulin, and the others.
• Lu Jun saw the mysterious God King lead the Abyss to destroy Douluo Star, then watched himself and Gu Yue Na fall in the vision.
• Lu Jun returned to reality drenched in cold sweat and recognized the God King Power as a threat rather than a shortcut to strength.

Lu Jun revealed that the Ice Abyss Sword showed a future in which a failed God King breakthrough led to Gu Yue Na’s death and Douluo Star’s fall. He identified the invading Abyss as a vanguard of the Crimson Realm and concluded that Huo Yuhao had long protected Douluo Star, leaving Gu Yue Na convinced that he had once warned her away from attacking humanity.

• Lu Jun told Gu Yue Na that the vision showed his failed breakthrough, her sacrifice, and the Abyss overwhelming Douluo Star.
• Lu Jun identified the Abyss Plane as a fragment and scouting force of the Crimson Realm, ruled by the Half-step God King Crimson Mother.
• Lu Jun recognized Huo Yuhao’s name in the vision and inferred that Huo Yuhao had deterred the Crimson Realm and nearly defeated its forces.
• Gu Yue Na recalled sensing a vast, warning gaze when she considered attacking humanity after awakening, and concluded that it had belonged to Huo Yuhao.

Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na speculated that Huo Yuhao had become a God King-level guardian of Douluo Star, but they could not tell whether he was their ally or a threat. Faced with the Crimson Realm and a hidden force that had sabotaged Lu Jun’s breakthrough, they realized the danger resembled the plot that once brought down the Dragon God.

• Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na reasoned that Huo Yuhao had secretly protected Douluo Star for ten thousand years and might have stopped Tang San’s earlier attempt to descend.
• Lu Jun questioned whether Huo Yuhao was watching over them or occupied with guarding against the Crimson Realm, and Gu Yue Na acknowledged that his intentions remained uncertain.
• Gu Yue Na expressed alarm at the Crimson Realm’s more than twenty Super God-tier beings, while Lu Jun admitted that defeating Tang San had not resolved the dangers ahead.
• Lu Jun refused to absorb the floating God King Power after the Ice Abyss Sword warned him that a hidden force had sabotaged his advancement at his most vulnerable moment.
• Lu Jun recognized that the force’s tactics resembled the secret interference that had driven the Dragon God mad and helped destroy the Dragon Clan.

Lu Jun concluded that the Cosmic Law was blocking him and Gu Yue Na from reaching the God King realm, so he devised a plan to give the God King Power to Douluo Star instead. He argued that evolving the plane could strengthen its people and help them resist the Crimson Realm.

• Lu Jun told Gu Yue Na that the Cosmic Law governed the universe and might use the Crimson Realm to eliminate planets and civilizations that threatened its balance.
• Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na realized they could not safely absorb the God King Power themselves, since the Cosmic Law could exploit their breakthrough and destroy them.
• Lu Jun proposed using the Ice Abyss Sword to purify the power and let the Douluo Star Plane absorb it.
• Lu Jun said an evolved Douluo Star could raise the cultivation limits of humans and spirit beasts, while strengthening Huo Yuhao to help defend against the Crimson Realm.

Lu Jun proposed that Douluo Star ascend, eventually devour the Crimson Realm, establish a new God Realm, and replace the Cosmic Law, and Gu Yue Na agreed to join him. Lu Jun dispersed the purified God King Power across the planet, beginning Douluo Star’s comprehensive evolution and ascension.

• Lu Jun outlined his plan to strengthen Douluo Star, challenge the Crimson Realm and Cosmic Law, and make the Plane Master the new Cosmic Law.
• Gu Yue Na agreed to follow Lu Jun and stand beside him through the struggle ahead.
• Lu Jun used the Ice Abyss Sword to disperse the God King Power into pure energy and spread it throughout Douluo Star.
• Douluo Star trembled and expanded as the energy nourished its land, space, and laws.
• Soul Masters broke through bottlenecks and Spirit Beasts grew stronger as Douluo Star began ascending to a higher level.

Huo Yuhao briefly awoke and sensed Douluo Star’s ascension, while the Crimson Mother watched from beyond the planet and chose to wait rather than risk confronting him. She intended to seize the evolved planet and its accumulated energy once she found an opening.

• Huo Yuhao sensed Douluo Star’s transformation and, urged by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, cautiously hoped its protectors could be trusted.
• Huo Yuhao withdrew his Spiritual Power and returned to recuperation after ten thousand years guarding Douluo Continent against the Crimson Realm.
• The Crimson Mother observed Douluo Star’s ascension and learned it was fueled by a God King’s Origin.
• The Crimson Mother ordered her subordinate to keep watch and wait, acknowledging that Huo Yuhao made a direct assault too costly.
• The Crimson Mother resolved to take Douluo Star’s Super Divine Artifact and accumulated energy after its evolution.

After Douluo Star began healing the battlefield, Tang Wulin asked Lu Jun to free Tang Wutong from her ice prison so he could speak with her and find out whether she could be awakened. Lu Jun released her and caught her as she fell, but her divine charm briefly clouded his mind.

• Douluo Star rapidly restored the valley, and Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na watched as life returned to the battlefield.
• Tang Wulin mourned Tang Wutong, whom he believed might be another puppet controlled by Tang San.
• Gu Yue Na explained that Tang Wutong was still alive and retained the Divine Positions of the Goddess of Beauty and the Sea God.
• Lu Jun offered Tang Wulin the choice to kill Tang Wutong or try to speak with her, and Tang Wulin asked to give her a chance to awaken.
• Lu Jun reversed the laws of ultimate ice to free Tang Wutong, caught her as she fell, and briefly wavered under her charm field.

Lu Jun revived Tang Wutong after she collapsed, but she mistook him for Huo Yuhao and then accused him of taking advantage of her. Tang Wutong rejected Tang Wulin as a traitor, leaving Lu Jun considering whether she could be won over as an ally.

• Lu Jun used Ice Element energy to wake Tang Wutong, who briefly mistook him for Huo Yuhao.
• Tang Wutong attacked Lu Jun with Divine Power and Spirit Shock, but he tossed her safely toward Tang Wulin.
• Tang Wutong accused Tang Wulin of betraying their family and rejected his help.
• Lu Jun considered recruiting Tang Wutong, whose power could aid them against the Crimson Realm.

Lu Jun considered removing Tang San’s influence from Tang Wutong and bringing her to his side as a potential ally against the Crimson Realm. When Tang Wutong defended Tang San’s rule and condemned the Sun Moon Federation’s god-threatening technology, Lu Jun challenged her view of the proper order between gods and mortals.

• Lu Jun concluded that Tang Wutong might still be dominated by Tang San’s imprint and considered awakening the consciousness closer to Wang Dong'er, by force if necessary.
• Gu Yue Na mistook Lu Jun’s scrutiny of Tang Wutong for attraction, pinched him, then apologized after he explained his plan to secure another ally against the Crimson Realm.
• Tang Wutong rejected Tang Wulin’s plea to repent for her crimes and insisted that she had never taken the wrong path.
• Tang Wutong blamed the Federation’s Soul Tool Technology and the killing of Niu Tian for making reconciliation impossible.
• Tang Wutong declared that mortals should remain beneath gods and that Douluo Continent needed a strict Divine Right Order under Tang San’s will; Lu Jun challenged her claim.

Lu Jun challenged Tang Wutong’s belief in divine supremacy, arguing that the gods had oppressed mortals and failed to protect them while mortal technology advanced civilization and defended Douluo Continent. He left her claims under a barrage of questions and examples, including the Abyss invasion, as the Crimson Realm threat loomed.

• Yue Zhengyu condemned Tang Wutong’s contempt for mortals, while Yuanen Yehui urged the group to consider the approaching Crimson Realm threat and let Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na decide what to do.
• Tang Wutong refused to help mortals she considered traitors to divine authority, and Lu Jun mocked her claims about divine order.
• Lu Jun accused the gods of monopolizing power and abandoning ordinary people during wars, disasters, and Evil Soul Master attacks.
• Lu Jun argued that Soul Tool Technology let ordinary people defend themselves, overcome innate disadvantages, and pursue their own destinies.
• Lu Jun recalled that mortal Soul Engineers and the Sun Moon Federation had defended Douluo Continent from the Abyss Plane when the God Realm was absent.

Lu Jun dismantled Tang Wutong’s defense of divine authority by pointing to the benefits of mortal technology and accusing Tang San of trying to preserve his control. Tang Wutong’s contemptuous outburst led Lu Jun to slap her down and remind her that she was now a captive.

• Lu Jun argued that Soul Guidance Trains, Soul Tool Medical Pods, and Soul Tool Farming Tools had improved mortal lives, and accused Tang Wutong and Tang San of fearing that mortals would no longer need the gods.
• Lu Jun defended Soul Tool Technology as civilization’s progress and mortals’ right to shape their own futures, leaving Tang Wutong unable to answer.
• Tang Wutong lost control and called mortals ignorant insects who did not deserve to be human, shattering Tang Wulin’s last illusions.
• Lu Jun slapped Tang Wutong, sending her crashing to the ground as Tang Wulin stayed where he was.
• Lu Jun told Tang Wutong she had no status beyond being a captive seized after her defeat.
