Chapter Summaries

After Chen An killed an eighty-ninth-rank Soul Douluo and passed the third-level trial, Xu Lin assured him the Federation would support his entry into the War God Hall. Xu Lin and Yu Guanzhi took the battle footage to Mingdu to seek approval, while the War Gods remained puzzled by Guan Yue’s hostility toward Chen An.

• Xu Lin promised Chen An that his trial qualification would stand and that he would receive the Federation’s support in joining the War God Hall.
• Yu Guanzhi praised Chen An’s unprecedented victory and asked him to notify him before attempting the fourth-level trial.
• Yu Guanzhi said he would speak with Commander Xu about Chen An joining the Central Legion, while Chen An planned to visit the Abyss Battlefield and exchange his Merit Points.
• Xu Lin obtained footage of Chen An’s battle from the First War God, then left for Mingdu with Chen An, Yu Guanzhi, and the others to seek approval from the parliament and military.
• After the group departed, the War Gods wondered why Guan Yue had targeted Chen An and sympathized with Chen An’s poor reception after passing the third-level trial.

Guan Yue explained why he had opposed Chen An joining the War God Hall, then told Yun Ming that Chen An had killed a level eighty-nine reserve War God during the trial. Alarmed by Chen An’s rapid growth, Yun Ming decided they had to accelerate their plans to eliminate him.

• Guan Yue told the First War God that he had tried to drive Chen An away because he feared Chen An would bring trouble to the War God Hall and might become an Evil Soul Master.
• The First War God recognized that Guan Yue’s Arena of Life and Death decision had left the War God Hall in a difficult position, since the arena’s rules allowed Chen An to kill Zhang Xingda without penalty.
• Guan Yue called Yun Ming and revealed that Chen An had challenged the third-level trial at level fifty against a level eighty-nine Soul Douluo.
• Yun Ming learned that Chen An had defeated and killed the reserve War God, and he grew jealous and alarmed at Chen An’s strength and progress.
• Yun Ming urged them to speed up their plans to eliminate Chen An, and Guan Yue offered to help.

Guan Yue told Chen Xinjie that Chen An had passed the third-level trial, prompting the War God Hall master to weigh pressure from the Federation against preserving his relationship with Shrek Academy. The Federation’s senior officials watched Chen An’s assessment video and considered recruiting him as a future powerhouse.

• Yun Ming said he and his allies could target Chen An after he entered the military, where he would have fewer powerful protectors.
• Guan Yue reported the War God Hall incident to Chen Xinjie while presenting Chen An as the one at fault.
• Chen Xinjie learned Chen An had passed the third-level trial and said the Council and military would likely insist that he join the War God Hall.
• Chen Xinjie said he would pressure the Council and military to keep Chen An out of the War God Hall so he could preserve his relationship with Shrek Academy.
• Xu Lin and Yu Guanzhi showed Chen An’s assessment video to Federation officials, who considered recruiting him and imagined using his strength to bring Shrek City under state ownership.

The Federation Government and military debated Chen An’s proposed entry into the War God Hall after Guan Yue, Chen Xinjie, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect opposed it. Xu Lin argued that the Federation needed Chen An as a powerful guardian to resist the major forces, but the officials remained under pressure.

• Most senior government and military officials approved Chen An joining the War God Hall and receiving key training.
• Guan Yue and Chen Xinjie opposed Chen An’s admission, citing his temperament and the danger of giving him a powerful position.
• Yun Ming of Shrek Academy and Cang Xin of the Tang Sect threatened consequences if the Federation supported Chen An.
• The officials hesitated under pressure from the War God Hall’s leadership and the two major organizations.
• Xu Lin argued that the Federation needed Chen An to strengthen its authority and deter Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Pagoda.

Federation officials debated whether Chen An should be admitted to the War God Hall despite warnings from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. Their divided vote led them to approve a public vote, leaving Chen An’s admission to the Federation’s citizens.

• Xu Lang argued that admitting Chen An would honor the War God Hall’s rules and give the Federation a chance to earn his loyalty.
• Several officials, including Shen, opposed Chen An’s admission, and the debate split the officials.
• Yu Guanzhi proposed letting the people decide whether Chen An could join the War God Hall.
• The officials’ vote failed to reach the required sixty percent for either side, but more than seventy percent supported holding a public vote.
• Supporters expected Chen An’s competition performance and trial footage to sway the public, while opponents counted on Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s reputation.

Chen An campaigned for public support to join the War God Hall by promising to guard the Abyss Battlefield and fight Evil Soul Masters. He believed the Abyss Plane’s energy might eventually let him break through the limits on becoming a god without the God Realm’s approval.

• The Federation announced a nationwide vote on whether Chen An could join the War God Hall, and Xu Lin, Xu Lang, and others arranged broadcasts of his competition battles.
• Chen An released a campaign video promising to protect the public, guard the Abyss Battlefield when he reached Limit Douluo, and fight Evil Soul Masters and criminal organizations.
• The public, alarmed by Holy Spirit Cult attacks and the threat of Evil Soul Masters, began considering voting for Chen An.
• Chen An reflected that his promises matched his own plans to grow stronger by devouring Abyss Creatures and seek a path to godhood outside the God Realm’s rules.

Chen An’s views on Evil Soul Masters and his plans to protect children with evil Martial Souls were followed by a public vote on whether he could join the War God Hall. Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and War God Hall leaders opposed him, but his supporters initially held a narrow lead.

• Chen An resolved to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult while giving children with evil Martial Souls a fair chance to grow up and prove they could live without turning to evil.
• Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect accused Chen An of potentially becoming an Evil Soul Master and of involvement in the Tang Sect Branch bombing, and opposed his joining the War God Hall.
• Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue opposed Chen An’s entry, citing his killing of a reserve War God Hall War God during the trial.
• The public vote opened, and Chen An led by just over two thousand votes after more than a hundred thousand people voted.
• By noon, Chen An’s lead had grown to nearly a hundred thousand votes as voters doubted the accusations and recalled Sun Moon Royal Academy’s defense of him.

The public vote on Chen An’s entry into the War God Hall ended with more than twice as many people supporting him as opposing him. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect questioned his popularity, unaware that public resentment over the Tang Sect’s killings had driven much of the support.

• On the second day of voting, Chen An’s support led by one million votes, and Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and Guan Yue repeated their accusations against him.
• By the end of the second day, more than thirty million people had voted, with nearly twenty million supporting Chen An.
• With one hour left, the vote count passed one hundred million and support for Chen An reached seventy million, so his opponents gave up trying to close the gap.
• Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect convened a high-level meeting to investigate why so many people supported Chen An.
• The public’s resentment toward the Tang Sect’s killings and its perceived neglect of ordinary people fueled support for Chen An and worsened Shrek Academy’s reputation.
• At eight o’clock, the vote closed with more than seventy million supporting Chen An and more than thirty million opposing him, and Xu Lin and Chen An relaxed at the result.

Chen An learned that he had been accepted into the War God Hall as a second First War God, while Xu Lang secured Zhang Huanyun’s agreement to let Chen An join the Blood God Legion. Zhang Huanyun told Xu Lang to remind Chen An that he must fulfill his promises, especially guarding the Abyss Battlefield.

• Gu Yue Na and Chen An reacted to his overwhelming victory in the public vote, and Xu Lin informed Chen An that the Federation had confirmed his entry into the War God Hall with First War God status.
• Chen An considered pursuing the fourth-level trial and eventually becoming Hall Master, while Xu Lin handled the procedures for his appointment.
• Xu Lang called Zhang Huanyun to discuss Chen An joining the Blood God Legion, and Zhang agreed to help rather than let Chen An be transferred away.
• Zhang Huanyun explained that he supported Chen An because of his talent and his promises, and told Xu Lang to ensure Chen An remembered his commitment to guard the Abyss Battlefield.

Zhang Huanyun and Xu Lang discussed the Abyss Battlefield’s enormous toll on the Federation and hoped Chen An could eventually help end the threat. Chen An decided to delay his visit until he had returned with Gu Yue Na to obtain a Soul Spirit and strengthen himself.

• Xu Lang assured Zhang Huanyun that Chen An intended to visit the Abyss Battlefield once he was strong enough.
• Zhang Huanyun considered the Federation’s heavy losses and dwindling resources, and believed the Abyss threat might eventually force the Federation to seek resources from Star Luo and Dou Spirit Empire.
• Zhang Huanyun said he hoped Chen An could eliminate the Abyss threat and prevent the Federation from attacking the other two nations.
• Xu Lang told Chen An that he and Zhang Huanyun had agreed on his visit to the Abyss Battlefield.
• Chen An chose to wait a few days so he could accompany Gu Yue Na home, obtain a Soul Spirit, and break through before going to the battlefield.

Chen An, Gu Yue Na, and Di Tian reached a poisonous forest near Heaven Dou City that Chen An believed concealed the Icefire Yin Yang Well and the Tang Sect’s defenses. Using the Mountain Dragon King Undead Puppet, they entered from deep underground and headed toward the two Dragon auras.

• Di Tian reported finding a poisonous forest near Heaven Dou City where he sensed buried Soul Tools, and Chen An decided to investigate with Gu Yue Na.
• Di Tian brought Chen An and Gu Yue Na to the wasteland outside the forest, where Gu Yue Na sensed the remains of two powerful Dragons within.
• Chen An summoned the Mountain Dragon King Undead Puppet and chose to avoid the Tang Sect’s surface and aerial defenses by traveling underground.
• The Mountain Dragon King descended more than five hundred meters, bypassed the buried detection Soul Tools, and entered the forest without being detected.
• The Mountain Dragon King sensed the Dragons’ auras and led Chen An and Gu Yue Na toward them underground.

Chen An, Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and the Mountain Dragon King Undead Puppet entered the underground Extreme Cold Spring and found the Ice Dragon King’s remains. The Ice Dragon King’s soul energy began to gather into a Dragon, and Gu Yue Na recognized it.

• Chen An realized that the frost-covered earth indicated they were approaching the Ice Dragon King’s remains and considered how they could withstand the cold spring.
• The Mountain Dragon King Undead Puppet stopped before a thick wall of ice, and Di Tian opened a Space Channel through it despite the underground pressure.
• Di Tian and the Mountain Dragon King Undead Puppet raised an Energy Shield to protect the group from the cold spring’s extreme cold.
• Chen An saw a colossal Dragon skeleton in the pale-blue spring and sensed powerful energy emanating from it.
• The skeleton glowed as ice energy gathered into the outline of a Dragon soul, and Gu Yue Na identified it as the Ice Dragon King.

Gu Yue Na revealed her bloodline to the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul, turning its hostility into joyful attachment and prompting it to clear a safe space in the freezing spring. Chen An considered absorbing the dragon soul or the Ice Dragon King's corpse to fill his sixth fruit.

• Chen An urged Gu Yue Na to activate her bloodline so the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul would recognize her and avoid a fight.
• Gu Yue Na used the Dragon God's Heart to send her bloodline aura through the Energy Shield, and the dragon soul stopped attacking and flew toward her.
• Gu Yue Na asked the dragon soul to clear the spring water, and it created a warm, waterless space for the group.
• The dragon soul shrank and circled Gu Yue Na affectionately, while she realized it had a newborn consciousness rather than the Ice Dragon King's memories.
• Chen An considered absorbing the dragon soul or the dragon corpse for their vast reserves of divine energy.

Gu Yue Na learned about the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ weakened dragon souls and the Tang Sect’s long-term harvesting of treasures from the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Chen An proposed searching the dragon kings’ remains for Soul Bones or divine artifacts before absorbing their energy.

• Gu Yue Na learned that the Tang Sect had harvested the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures around the well for twenty thousand years and resolved to claim them and demand compensation.
• The Ice Dragon King’s dragon soul led Gu Yue Na and Chen An to the Yang Spring, where they met the Fire Dragon King’s dragon soul across the boundary between the springs.
• Gu Yue Na found that the Fire Dragon King’s dragon soul, like the Ice Dragon King’s, had little memory or intelligence and could not leave its original skeleton.
• Gu Yue Na offered Chen An the choice of examining the treasures or absorbing the dragon kings’ residual energy, while considering whether their souls could be turned into Undead Puppets.
• Chen An said he wanted to search the dragon kings’ remains for Soul Bones or divine artifacts first, and Gu Yue Na turned her attention to the Ice Dragon King’s corpse.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na searched the Icefire Yin Yang Well for the Ice Dragon King's Soul Bone and divine artifacts but found nothing. Chen An suspected Tang San had taken them, and the chapter confirmed Tang San had returned after becoming a god and taken two divine artifacts and two god-level Soul Bones.

• Gu Yue Na asked the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul about Soul Bones and divine artifacts, but he showed no sign of recognizing either.
• Chen An, Gu Yue Na, the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul, and the two Undead Puppets searched the area for ten hours without finding anything.
• Gu Yue Na reasoned that the Ice Dragon King's Soul Bone should still exist, leading Chen An to suspect someone had taken it.
• Chen An proposed that Tang San had returned to the Icefire Yin Yang Well after becoming a god and taken the missing treasures.
• The narration confirmed that Tang San had found and taken two divine artifacts and two god-level Soul Bones.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na found the Icefire Dragon Kings' remains but discovered that their Soul Bones and divine artifacts were gone, then traveled to the valley above the Icefire Yin Yang Well. They emerged before six Transformed Immortal Herbs, who respectfully greeted the Dragon Lords.

• Chen An took the remaining valuables but left the difficult-to-move dragon corpses behind, and Gu Yue Na said taking Tang San's Sea God Trident balanced the loss.
• Chen An accepted that the Icefire Dragon Kings' remains and energy could still help him, then asked Gu Yue Na to take them up to the valley.
• Chen An, Gu Yue Na, and Di Tian saw the lush valley and the Icefire Yin Yang Well, where six Transformed Immortal Herbs had gathered to investigate unusual ripples.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty sensed the Dragon Lords approaching and led the other herbs in preparing a respectful welcome.
• The group rose from the Cold Spring in a light barrier, startling the six herbs, who then greeted the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King dragon souls.

Chen An and his companions met the six Transformed Immortal Herbs in the Icefire Yin Yang Well, where the Icefire Dragon Kings ordered the herbs to obey them. Chen An admitted they had come to obtain some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, leaving the herbs uneasy about what he intended to take.

• The Icefire Dragon Kings ordered the six Transformed Immortal Herbs to obey Chen An and his companions, and the herbs agreed.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na introduced themselves by name, while Di Tian remained silent.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty asked about their relationship with the Dragon Lords, and Chen An said they were connected by fate.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty asked why they had come, and Chen An said they wanted to obtain some treasures growing in the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
• The six Transformed Immortal Herbs realized Chen An and his companions had come for the treasures and grew worried about their safety.

Chen An rejected Aromatic Silk Beauty’s proposed limit on the treasures they could take, while Gu Yue Na promised to preserve the transformed immortal herbs’ souls and consciousness after harvesting their bodies. The herbs learned they might eventually revive if their roots grew new bodies, though the process remained ahead of them.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty offered Chen An ten types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but Chen An refused to accept a limit without the Icefire Dragon Souls’ approval.
• Gu Yue Na prompted the Dragon Souls of the Icefire Dragon Kings to assert that they were the masters of the Icefire Yin Yang Well and could decide the plants’ fate.
• Chen An decided they would take the valuable transformed immortal herbs, reasoning that the herbs would otherwise be taken by the Tang Sect and could help Gu Yue Na and the soul beast clan.
• Gu Yue Na told Aromatic Silk Beauty and the other transformed immortal herbs that she could protect their souls and consciousness after their original bodies were taken, allowing them to exist until they could enter new bodies.
• The transformed immortal herbs asked for confirmation and felt hopeful when Gu Yue Na explained that new plants could grow from their surviving roots and potentially allow them to revive.

Chen An questioned the immortal herbs about the Tang Sect and the rare plants at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, then recorded the medicinal properties of those over ten thousand years old. He learned that Huo Yuhao had taken the only copy of the Tang Sect Poison Codex, so he continued relying on the recordings.

• Gu Yue Na reassured Aromatic Silk Beauty and the other immortal herbs that they could return to newly grown bodies, and the dragon souls vouched for her claim.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty told Chen An that the Tang Sect had forced the plants into an agreement and repeatedly took their treasures more often than promised.
• Chen An asked the immortal herbs to identify treasures over ten thousand years old and explain their medicinal properties, then gave Gu Yue Na and Di Tian recording Soul Tools to help document them.
• Chen An explained that he had brought the recording Soul Tools to record Tang Sect assassins, and Gu Yue Na praised his thorough preparations.
• Chen An asked about a backup copy of the Tang Sect Poison Codex, and Aromatic Silk Beauty said Huo Yuhao had taken their only copy ten thousand years earlier.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na collected and refined nearly seven hundred ancient Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, including the Snow Swan Kiss, and then turned to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Chen An planned to test whether the Devouring Sky Cauldron could take the herb without requiring true love.

• Chen An refined a Soul Forging Grass into an Essence Pearl, and Aromatic Silk Beauty confirmed that its medicinal effects had been preserved and made easier to absorb.
• Chen An refined the treasures while Gu Yue Na labeled and stored them, and they collected nearly seven hundred portions over six or seven hours.
• Chen An refined the hundred-thousand-year Snow Swan Kiss into a pearl after considering its ability to amplify toxins.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na discussed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's requirement of true love, and Chen An decided to try collecting it with the Devouring Sky Cauldron.
