Chapter Summaries

Lu Jun announced that he would focus on strengthening the entire Douluo Continent ahead of the Abyss’s full-scale invasion. Di Yue revealed that planar evolution would make divine ascension more attainable and grant every human at least level-one Innate Soul Power when awakening their Martial Soul, leaving the Federation’s leaders stunned by the scale of the change.

• Lu Jun warned that the purge might have missed concealed foreign entities and said the continent needed to strengthen itself against future incursions.
• Lu Jun declared that he would seek to raise the average combat power of the entire Douluo Continent before the Abyss launched a full-scale war.
• Di Yue announced that Douluo Star’s planar evolution would make it easier for talented humans and Spirit Beasts to break through the hundredth-level bottleneck and become Deities.
• Di Yue revealed that every human born on the Douluo Continent would awaken their Martial Soul with at least level-one Innate Soul Power.
• Xu Tiandi, the councilors, and the generals reacted with shock as they grasped that the change would transform the continent’s reserve of potential Soul Masters.

Di Yue revealed that Douluo Star’s evolution would raise the minimum Innate Soul Power of future awakenings and improve the prospects of those with weak or zero Soul Power. As the Councilors and generals bowed in gratitude, Lu Jun warned that Douluo had only three years to prepare for the Abyss’s assault.

• Dong Zian urgently asked whether Di Yue’s claim about the new Soul Power threshold was true, and she swore that it was a natural result of the plane’s evolution.
• Di Yue explained that the Plane Origin would nourish fetuses, help unawakened children reach at least Level 1 Soul Power, and gradually improve the cultivation prospects of people who had already awakened.
• Di Yue said that even those with innate zero Soul Power could have a considerable chance of reaching Soul Emperor or Soul Sage with enough time and perseverance.
• Lu Jun recalled that the Abyss’s full-scale offensive could come when he was around twenty, leaving Douluo Continent only three years to prepare.
• Xu Tiandi and the gathered Councilors and generals bowed to Di Yue and Lu Jun in gratitude, and Di Yue credited Lu Jun with guiding the evolution.
• Lu Jun accepted no thanks, calling the changes Douluo Star’s instinctive response to a survival crisis.

Lu Jun announced plans to reform Soul Master training, share his cultivation knowledge across the continent, and work with the Spirit Pagoda toward Battle Armor for all. He left the Federation officials anticipating a sweeping transformation of the military and Soul Master system.

• Lu Jun ordered the Federation to create a broader and fairer system to train and select newly awakened Soul Masters and turn their potential into military strength.
• Lu Jun said he would go to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to organize and publicly share his cultivation insights through the Soul Guidance Network.
• Lu Jun announced that the Spirit Pagoda would sponsor the academy as a pilot site for a long-term plan to make Battle Armor available to all.
• Dong Zian asked whether the plan would include every soldier, even new recruits with five-ring cultivation, recalling the barriers he had faced obtaining Battle Armor.
• Lu Jun said Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would offer free instruction to registered Soul Masters in two new majors: Dou Armor Forging and Dou Armor Adaptation.

Lu Jun and Di Yue presented a plan to expand Battle Armor access, with the Spirit Pagoda sharing materials and forging technology and the Federation organizing workshops and deployment. After Di Yue revealed newly formed mineral veins that could supply the needed metals, Xu Tiandi ordered the Federation to begin the program, and the Legion Commanders pledged to equip their troops within three months.

• Lu Jun proposed public forging workshops and set targets for equipping five-ring Soul Masters with One-Word Dou Armor and seven-ring Soul Masters with Two-Word Dou Armor.
• Lu Jun prioritized frontline Soul Guidance Legions, calling for primary combat personnel to receive One-Word Dou Armor and adaptation training within three months.
• A Federation Councilor raised concerns that mineral reserves and mining capacity could not meet the demand for Thousand Refinements metals.
• Di Yue revealed newly formed mineral veins, promised the Federation their coordinates and mining plans, and guaranteed that basic materials would not become a bottleneck for three years.
• Xu Tiandi established a Supreme Special Task Group to coordinate Battle Armor workshops, forging training, material allocation, and equipment deployment.
• Dong Zian and the other Legion Commanders saluted Lu Jun and pledged to equip their legions and defend the continent against the Abyss.

After the Federation assigned plans to prepare for the coming planar war, Lu Jun reminded Di Yue to attend lessons on controlling her planar authority. He then headed to Heaven Dou City to finish his companions’ Four-Word Dou Armor and meet the teacher who had become a God Craftsman.

• Xu Tiandi adjourned the meeting and threatened severe punishment for anyone who disobeyed orders or withheld resources.
• Lu Jun teased Di Yue about her authority, and Wu Sidu comforted her and joked about being her bodyguard and assistant.
• Lu Jun told Di Yue to come to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for private lessons, and Di Yue promised to attend while playfully calling him Teacher.
• Lu Jun left to complete his companions’ Four-Word Dou Armor and visit his long-absent teacher, traveling toward Heaven Dou City.

God Craftsman Gu Chenyu completed a Heavenly Forging in the Forging Association’s sealed workshop, then was interrupted by a visitor he recognized as Lu Jun. The chapter ended as Gu Chenyu stared at Lu Jun and began to address him.

• Gu Chenyu forged a piece of metal into God-tier metal and passed its Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation.
• Gu Chenyu admired his completed work until someone called him “Teacher” from the doorway.
• Gu Chenyu impatiently told the visitor to leave, then recognized the familiar voice and turned around.
• Gu Chenyu saw Lu Jun and began, “You brat...”

Lu Jun visited his master Gu Chenyu and learned that three of his companions' Four-Word Dou Armor sets were complete, with several others still underway. He joined Gu Chenyu in forging to speed up the remaining work, then sensed a vast stockpile of God-tier metals in the nearby warehouse.

• Lu Jun praised the God-tier metal Gu Chenyu had forged and identified its potential as a core for Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Gu Chenyu told Lu Jun that Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Yuanen Yehui's armor sets were complete, while he was responsible for forging several others.
• Lu Jun explained that his companions needed their armor soon because of the approaching Abyss threat.
• Gu Chenyu asked Lu Jun to help with the forging, and Lu Jun agreed to assist with his Ultimate Ice Soul Power.
• Lu Jun worked with Gu Chenyu for hours and sensed that the nearby warehouse held enough God-tier metal to fill more than half the room.

Lu Jun joined Gu Chenyu for three days of intensive forging, while the Federation cleared Abyss strongholds and launched major reforms across the continent. When Tang Wutong, Tang Wulin, and the others arrived, they found Gu Chenyu still focused on his work and Lu Jun exhausted and regretting his earlier confidence.

• Lu Jun sensed that Gu Chenyu had reached the quasi-god level, and Gu Chenyu explained that he preferred a peaceful life as a God Craftsman over pursuing power.
• Lu Jun confidently accepted Gu Chenyu's challenge to keep up through the next few days, and the two began forging together.
• Over three days, Lu Jun and Gu Chenyu forged Battle Armor components while Federation forces attacked Abyss strongholds and the Spirit Pagoda and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy announced reforms.
• Tang Wutong, Tang Wulin, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Sidu, and Long Chen arrived at the forging room and found Gu Chenyu working while Lu Jun sat exhausted against the wall.
• Gu Chenyu teased Lu Jun about claiming the challenge would be easy, and Lu Jun weakly vowed never to say that again.

Lu Jun struggled through three exhausting days of assisting Gu Chenyu with the divine forging of Dou Armor. When his companions arrived to collect their completed armor, Gu Chenyu credited Lu Jun’s precise ice-element control with making the rapid work possible.

• Lu Jun emerged from three days of intense forging exhausted and covered in metal dust, and Wu Sidu helped him drink water.
• Long Chen reminded Lu Jun that he had called everyone to try on their nearly finished Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Gu Chenyu announced that the remaining sets for Long Chen, Wu Sidu, and Xu Xiaoyan were complete and ready for final adjustments.
• Long Chen inspected his gold-and-white armor components and said they met his expectations.
• Gu Chenyu praised Lu Jun’s forging assistance, saying his control improved Heavenly Forging’s success rate and helped complete the armor in three days.

After Lu Jun finished forging three sets of Four-Word Dou Armor with Gu Chenyu, his team learned they had been ordered to the West Continent to support the Blood God Legion. Gu Chenyu kept Tang Wulin behind to teach him how to forge his own Battle Armor, while the others left Lu Jun to rest.

• Gu Chenyu explained that Lu Jun had helped forge three complete sets of Four-Word Dou Armor in three days, earning the team’s admiration.
• Yue Zhengyu told the team that the Federation had ordered them to the West Continent to support the Blood God Legion and prepare for an Abyss offensive.
• Wu Sidu insisted that Lu Jun go home and rest, and he agreed.
• Gu Chenyu told Tang Wulin that he was close to becoming a God Craftsman and challenged him to forge his own Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Lu Jun teased Gu Chenyu about secretly hoarding God-tier metal, prompting laughter from the team as Gu Chenyu denied it.
• Gu Chenyu kept Tang Wulin behind to explain the materials and techniques needed to forge his Battle Armor.

Tang Wulin stayed behind with Gu Chenyu to study forging, while Lu Jun and his companions prepared to leave Heaven Dou City. Too exhausted to fly and unwilling to risk taking a Soul Guidance Train, Lu Jun asked Tang Wutong to carry him and Wu Sidu back to Mingdu.

• Tang Wulin followed Gu Chenyu into the materials warehouse to study, while Lu Jun and the others left the forging sanctuary.
• Wu Sidu insisted that Lu Jun rest in Mingdu, and he accepted her concern before bidding farewell to Yue Zhengyu and the others as they set off for the West Continent.
• Lu Jun rejected Wu Sidu's suggestion to take a Soul Guidance Train, citing the danger that trains brought to protagonists.
• Lu Jun declined to requisition a fighter jet and proposed that Tang Wutong fly him and Wu Sidu to Mingdu, leaving her indignant at being treated like a mount.

After Tang Wutong brought an exhausted Lu Jun and Wu Sidu back to Mingdu, they returned to find Ice Empress and Snow Empress had filled their villa with plants. Wu Sidu helped Lu Jun clean up, but mistook his attempt to remove his dusty clothes for something improper before he clarified that he wanted a bath.

• Tang Wutong blushed and flusteredly explained that she and Wu Sidu were helping Lu Jun because they were allies, then flew them to Mingdu.
• Lu Jun, Tang Wutong, and Wu Sidu returned to their villa and discovered that Ice Empress and Snow Empress had decorated it with flowers and plants.
• Lu Jun praised the new decorations, and Ice Empress and Snow Empress appeared pleased by his and Wu Sidu's approval.
• Wu Sidu took Lu Jun to his room, brought warm water and clean clothes, and carefully wiped the dust from his face and hands.
• Lu Jun began undoing his collar, startling Wu Sidu, then explained that he wanted to take a bath.

Wu Sidu kissed Lu Jun goodbye and left to help Di Yue, while Lu Jun rested and recovered from his exhausting work. After bathing, he joined Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and a tense Tang Wutong in the living room.

• Lu Jun teased Wu Sidu and asked her to help bathe him, but she said Di Yue needed her help with the Plane Master's affairs.
• Wu Sidu kissed and embraced Lu Jun, promised him a surprise when she returned, and left the room.
• Lu Jun bathed and used his Soul Power to soothe the injuries and exhaustion from seventy-two hours of work.
• Lu Jun entered the living room, where Ice Empress and Snow Empress had prepared tea and Tang Wutong sat stiffly by herself.
• Ice Empress noticed Lu Jun looked healthier after bathing and asked whether he had finished.

After recovering at home, Lu Jun planned to rest before starting work at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, while Tang Wutong felt excluded by Ice Empress and Snow Empress. The next morning, Ice Empress woke Lu Jun by sitting on him, and their teasing turned into an argument over her weight.

• Lu Jun relaxed at home with Ice Empress and Snow Empress and said he would spend two days resting before teaching at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
• After Lu Jun went to bed, Tang Wutong felt ignored by Ice Empress and Snow Empress and worried that Lu Jun might hear her angry thoughts.
• Lu Jun fell asleep, relying on his body's automatic cultivation to restore his Spiritual Power.
• The next morning, Ice Empress sat on Lu Jun's blanket to wake him and called it a special heavyweight wake-up service.
• Lu Jun complained that Ice Empress was crushing him, and Ice Empress angrily challenged him to repeat what he had said.

Lu Jun and Ice Empress spent the morning in an intimate encounter after she teased him in bed. Near noon, Lu Jun emerged and sent Tang Wutong to arrange lunch from the Spirit Pagoda.

• Ice Empress argued that she was no longer heavy because she had become a Level 100 God with a divine body.
• Ice Empress slipped under the blanket and teased Lu Jun until he pinned her down and kissed her.
• Lu Jun and Ice Empress spent the rest of the morning together in the bedroom.
• Near noon, Lu Jun came out to find Snow Empress reading and Tang Wutong studying a historical dossier; both reacted awkwardly to the signs of what had happened.
• Lu Jun asked Tang Wutong to contact the Spirit Pagoda and order lunch at the highest standard, and she reluctantly agreed.

Snow Empress prepared an elegant lunch for Lu Jun using her precise Ice Attribute Soul Power, while Ice Empress and Tang Wutong watched. She served the meal and invited Lu Jun to try it, leaving his reaction unknown.

• Snow Empress told Lu Jun she would make lunch herself, and he agreed to try her cooking.
• Ice Empress recalled that Snow Empress had learned to cook in the human world and teased her about her early attempts.
• Snow Empress used her Soul Power to prepare fish, vegetables, mushrooms, and spiritual rice while Lu Jun watched and Ice Empress teased him.
• Tang Wutong watched the three of them together and wondered if they felt like a family.
• Snow Empress brought the finished dishes to the table and invited Lu Jun to try them.

After enjoying Snow Empress’s cooking, Lu Jun learned that Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai, and Gu Yue Na were occupied at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters preparing for the Abyss’s full-scale assault. He agreed to visit Mingdu’s celebration with Snow Empress and Ice Empress, but told Tang Wutong to stay behind and watch the house.

• Lu Jun praised Snow Empress’s dishes, and Ice Empress and Tang Wutong enjoyed the meal as well.
• Snow Empress explained that Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai, and Gu Yue Na were working at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters to prepare for the Abyss’s full-scale assault.
• Snow Empress suggested that she, Lu Jun, and Ice Empress visit Mingdu’s celebration for the Federation’s victory against Abyss infiltrators, and Lu Jun agreed.
• Tang Wutong asked whether she should join them, and Lu Jun told her to stay behind and watch the house.

Lu Jun left Tang Wutong behind to guard the villa, then took Snow Empress and Ice Empress shopping in Mingdu. The three watched the fireworks at Moonlit Lake, where Ice Empress admired the beauty of human city life.

• Lu Jun ordered Tang Wutong to watch the house, and she suppressed her objections and promised to guard it.
• Lu Jun, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress explored Mingdu’s festive streets, sampled snacks, and browsed the shops.
• Ice Empress learned about the fireworks display at Moonlit Lake, and Lu Jun agreed to take them there.
• The three found a quiet slope by the lake and watched the fireworks illuminate the sky and water.
• Ice Empress admired the display and said that living in a technologically advanced human city was wonderful.

Snow Empress struggled to understand her deepening feelings for Lu Jun while the three watched fireworks together. After she admitted how happy she was beside him, Lu Jun reflected on the war effort, checked on the migrated Extreme North clans, and the fireworks reached their climax.

• As fireworks lit the sky, Snow Empress watched Lu Jun and silently resolved to bury her feelings in care and protection so she could remain by his side.
• Lu Jun noticed Snow Empress had gone quiet and asked whether the crowd made her uncomfortable or tired.
• Snow Empress told Lu Jun she was happy to share the evening with him and Bing'er, and Lu Jun said he hoped they could enjoy peaceful days like this again.
• Lu Jun reminded Snow Empress and Ice Empress that the Federation's armies, Di Yue, and countless others were buying them time against the Abyss.
• Ice Empress assured Lu Jun that A Tai and the other Extreme North clans had adapted well to their new settlement and were eager to fight.
• The fireworks erupted in a final blaze of multicolored light across the night sky.

Snow Empress confronted the feelings she had developed for Lu Jun, urged on by Ice Empress as the fireworks faded. She finally acted on her resolve by embracing Lu Jun, though she had not yet confessed her feelings.

• Ice Empress told Snow Empress to stop suppressing her feelings and speak to Lu Jun while the fireworks drowned out their voices.
• Snow Empress reflected on how her gratitude to Lu Jun had grown into deeper affection through their years together.
• As the fireworks faded, Snow Empress decided to be brave despite the risk of making their relationship awkward.
• Snow Empress suddenly wrapped both arms around Lu Jun and pressed her cheek against his neck.
