• Jiang Qiyue urged Gu You to stop when his second Soul Ring lit up, but Gu You transformed it into a golden halo and spread its radiance over Jiang Wuyue.

Gu You overwhelmed Jiang Wuyue with an ability that strengthened his Tyrant Dragon bloodline, then turned down Jiang Wuyue’s offer to join the Iron Blood Regiment’s First Battalion when Long Yuxue intervened. The chapter left Jiang Wuyue wondering how Gu You could be so powerful at only eighteen.

• Gu You’s golden aura transformed Jiang Wuyue’s scales and boosted his strength, then faded when Gu You ended the ability.

• Long Yuxue arrived and stopped Jiang Wuyue from poaching Gu You, then led Gu You out of the combat room.
• Jiang Qiyue asked Jiang Wuyue about Gu You’s strength, and Jiang Wuyue learned Gu You was likely only eighteen.

Gu You met Luni, a lieutenant colonel who needed her damaged Rapid-fire Cannon Barrel repaired, and offered several increasingly costly solutions. Long Yuxue grew anxious when Gu You quoted prices of up to five thousand merit points, and the chapter ended before Luni responded.

• Long Yuxue warned Gu You to avoid reckless sparring and took him to meet a blacksmithing client.
• Long Yuxue introduced Gu You to Luni, who brought him a warped Rapid-fire Cannon Barrel to repair.
• Gu You examined the barrel and explained that its bore was badly damaged by prolonged heat.
• Gu You offered a direct repair for one hundred merit points, reinforcement for one thousand, or a newly forged barrel for at least five thousand.
• Long Yuxue told Gu You not to talk nonsense after hearing his prices.

Gu You used Soul Forging to repair and strengthen Luni’s cannon barrel, astonishing her and Long Yuxue. Luni praised his skill and wondered what his more advanced forging methods could achieve.

• Gu You offered to repair Luni’s barrel for free using his first forging method, and she agreed to test his workmanship.

• Luni estimated that the barrel’s strength had increased by at least thirty percent and asked Gu You whether he still needed investment.
• Gu You said his investors were already settled, while Luni regretted not asking him to use a more advanced method.

Gu You impressed Luni and Long Yuxue by proposing advanced self-repairing cannon-barrel forging and revealing he could attempt Soul Forging. Long Yuxue rushed to tell Long Tianwu that Gu You was a blacksmith, leaving her father guessing his rank.

• Gu You explained that he could fuse rare metals and Spirit Forge a durable cannon barrel, and said he could also attempt Soul Forging.
• Luni and Long Yuxue were stunned by the possibility that Gu You could become a Saint Craftsman, and Luni paid him merits for the barrel while asking for priority on future forging.
• After Luni left, Long Yuxue questioned Gu You about his skills, then went to Long Tianwu to report her discovery.
• Long Yuxue told Long Tianwu that Gu You was a blacksmith, and Long Tianwu guessed he might be a fifth-rank blacksmith capable of Spirit Forging.

Long Tianwu warned Long Yuxue to stay away from Gu You and changed the rules so support-profession merits could no longer raise military rank. Gu You’s forging orders then surged, but he limited future large commissions after learning he could not use his earnings for promotion, and Long Yuxue asked him why.

• Long Tianwu told Long Yuxue that Gu You’s exceptional talent and prospects made him a dangerous match for her, and she ran off to confront him.
• Long Tianwu ordered that support-profession merits could be exchanged for more valuable items but could no longer be used for promotion.
• Gu You forged components for two female officers, while Luni kept news of his skill quiet as she and her friends prepared their own commissions.
• Luni brought five female officers to Gu You’s workshop, and he accepted orders worth over one hundred thousand merits, including Battle Armor forging work.
• The Quartermaster Department informed Gu You that support-profession merits could not raise his rank, so he posted a sign refusing long-term large orders.
• Long Yuxue arrived at the workshop, saw the sign, and asked Gu You why he had put it up.

Gu You learned that the Quartermaster Department had barred forging merit points from raising his military rank, so he repaid Long Yuxue and asked to enter the Abyss for combat. Long Yuxue arranged to take him there and helped him choose equipment, leaving Gu You prepared to test his mecha in battle.

• Gu You returned Long Yuxue's Blood God Ring and explained that forging merit points could no longer help him advance his rank.

• Long Yuxue chose an Abyss Isolation Shield, a Spatial Rectifier, and a Stealth Vest for Gu You, and explained how mechas could be used against Abyss Creatures.
• Gu You bought fifth-grade Soul Guide Grenades but declined a small mecha, saying he would adjust his equipment choices after fighting.

• Long Yuxue warned Gu You that he would have to obey military orders during their combat mission and led him out of camp on skis.

• Long Yuxue led Gu You through the clearance point toward the depths of the Abyss Passage.

• After checking an instrument at a checkpoint, Long Yuxue silently aimed and fired a gray beam at a target ahead.

Gu You and Long Yuxue fought their way through an abyssal cavern, where Gu You killed numerous Devouring Lizards and absorbed their energy. They reached a larger cavern and defeated a giant Devouring Lizard, while Long Yuxue noticed Gu You’s destructive aura and wondered about his secrets.

• Gu You identified a wounded creature as a Devouring Lizard and moved ahead with his Golden Dragon Spear while Long Yuxue warned him to be careful.

• Gu You sensed a hidden Six-Clawed Demon, resisted its spike attack, and killed it with his Golden Dragon Spear.

• Gu You held the entrance against the charging Devouring Lizards while Long Yuxue fired from behind him, badly injuring the first attackers.

Gu You cleared the Abyss Creatures near the passage entrance, but he and Long Yuxue encountered a Level Three Abyss Tide and retreated to the second line of defense. As the Blood God Legion prepared for the full-scale assault, Gu You saw a gigantic metal sphere deploy defensive equipment throughout the Abyss cavern.

• Gu You used the Golden Dragon Spear to destroy more than twenty Six-Clawed Demons and absorb their energy, bringing his Soul Core and bloodline core closer to forming.
• Gu You and Long Yuxue advanced into the next tunnel, where a powerful Abyss Tide surged toward them.
• Gu You activated his Two-Word Battle Armor, carried Long Yuxue back to the defenses, and warned the Blood God Legion of the approaching tide.
• The barrier was reported unable to withstand the Level Three Abyss Tide for more than five minutes, so Long Yuxue led Gu You to the second line of defense.
• The Blood God Legion assembled large-scale defensive Soul Tools, including a metal sphere over three hundred meters wide, and Gu You asked Long Yuxue what it was.

Gu You learned how the Heart of the Blood God powered the Blood God Legion’s defenses as an Abyss Tide struck the barrier. He joined Jiang Wuyue’s battalion to enhance its soldiers for the coming battle, while the legion prepared its front line.

• Long Yuxue explained that the Heart of the Blood God converted natural energy into Soul Power and supplied the legion’s Soul Tools.
• The destructive energy of the Abyss Tide battered the blue shield sealing the tunnel, and Long Yuxue warned that Abyss Creatures would attack once the energy passed.

• Jiang Wuyue invited Gu You to join his battalion and share its battle merit, and Gu You agreed.
• Jiang Wuyue organized a two-hundred-meter-wide steel defensive line, which included one hundred Purple Grade or higher mechas and five Black Grade Mechas.

Gu You and Jiang Wuyue fought in the Blood God Legion’s defense against an Abyss Tide until a Black Empress Clan member broke through the line. The battle turned critical as reserve forces rushed to contain it, with the Black Empress still threatening the defenders.

• Gu You watched the mecha warriors hold the Abyss Creatures back while Jiang Wuyue kept the Battle Armor Masters and Black Grade Mecha Masters in reserve.
• More than a dozen Ba An leapt over the defenses, and the rear attackers destroyed them as Gu You pierced another with the Golden Dragon Spear and absorbed its energy.

• Jiang Wuyue and the reserve Battle Armor warriors charged the Black Empress as the rear attackers joined them, barely suppressing her while the battle remained in crisis.

Gu You unleashed his Golden Dragon King Bloodline to strengthen the Blood God Legion and fought the Black Empress Clan at the breach. After his spear wounded her and the defenders sealed the breach, its returning energy triggered a dangerous transformation in Gu You’s body.

• Gu You spread a golden aura across the battlefield, greatly enhancing the allied warriors as Ba An attacked the defensive line.
• Gu You and Jiang Wuyue struck the Black Empress Clan, and Gu You’s power forced her back toward the breach.

Gu You’s clashing bloodlines collapsed and erupted, leaving him unconscious before they fused into a single powerful bloodline and formed a crystal core he named Eternal. He recovered with his body strengthened to the limits of humanity as the battle against the Abyss Tide continued.

• Gu You failed to suppress the forces inside him as his blood qi collapsed inward and his Golden Dragon King Bloodline turned violent.

• Jiang Wuyue returned after helping seal the breach, praised Gu You, and began to comment on what had happened.

A powerful entity from the Abyss Passage then attacked Gu You, but a silver-armored Blood God intervened as the chapter ended.

• Jiang Wuyue explained the threat posed by the Black Empress Clan and its Momei allies, while a silver-armored Three-Word Battle Armor Master arrived as reinforcements.

• A Limit Douluo-level finger emerged from the Abyss Passage and shot toward Gu You, but a streak of silver light struck its fingernail head-on.

Gu You held the Abyss Passage against the Abyss Tide, drawing attention for his stamina and the Golden Dragon Spear’s ability to absorb Abyss energy. His battle was interrupted by a Gray-Haired Woman whose strange power erased nearby attacks, and the Blood God moved to confront her.

• A Three-Word Battle Armor Master struck an Abyss Monarch’s finger and was blasted into the cavern wall, though the finger withdrew.
