Chapter Summaries

Su Mu transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens as a soul separated from his body and bound to the Goddess Worship System. After learning that he needed to earn a Goddess’s admiration to gain rewards, he asked the system which Goddesses were nearby.

• Su Mu woke in a strange hall and witnessed Xiao Yan declare that he would go to the Misty Cloud Sect in three years to clear his father’s humiliation.

• The system explained that Su Mu could gain rewards by earning a Goddess’s admiration or by forming a contract with a Goddess.
• Su Mu asked the system how many Goddesses it could detect around him.

• The system identified Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yue as Goddesses, and Su Mu chose Xiao Yue rather than risk approaching Xiao Xun'er.
• Su Mu learned that Xiao Yue had gone after Xiao Yan and found her sitting beneath a tree, angry about Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement.

• Su Mu appeared before Xiao Yue as a floating figure, and she cautiously asked who he was.
• Su Mu offered to accept Xiao Yue as his disciple, and Xiao Yue praised his judgment of her intelligence.

Su Mu tried to take Xiao Yue as his disciple and convinced her by revealing that he knew why her third brother’s Dou Qi had vanished. Xiao Yue accepted, but remained skeptical of Su Mu’s strength as he claimed he could perceive her brother’s master, Old Yao, without being detected in return.

• Xiao Yue asked who was stronger, Su Mu or Old Yao, and Su Mu claimed Old Yao could not detect him.

After taking Xiao Xun'er as his disciple, Su Mu received his Novice Gift Pack and examined its powerful techniques and unusual puppet. He decided to keep the puppet and had the system transmit the Boundless Chaos Art to him.

• Su Mu attached himself to Xiao Xun'er's bracelet and told her to call for Master Sansheng if she needed him.
• Su Mu opened his Novice Gift Pack and received the Emperor-grade Boundless Chaos Art, the Heaven-tier Soaring Heaven Sword Canon, and a possessable Spirit Doubler-level puppet.
• Su Mu inspected the Boundless Chaos Art and Soaring Heaven Sword Canon, then complained that the puppet seemed too weak.
• The system explained that recycling the puppet would unlock the System Mall and Admiration Value, which Su Mu needed to access the mall.
• Su Mu learned that he could possess the puppet, chose not to recycle it, and asked the system to transmit the Boundless Chaos Art to him.

Su Mu reviewed the rewards from his system and learned that his combat techniques could be taught to others. Xiao Yue praised his advice after noticing Xiao Yan's confidence had returned, but then suspected Su Mu of draining her Fighting Qi; he decided to supervise her cultivation from now on.

• Su Mu examined his Emperor-grade cultivation technique and combat techniques, realizing the latter could help him earn Admiration Value by showing them off to Xiao Yue.

• Su Mu told Xiao Yue she had barely cultivated and announced that he would watch her practice every day.
• Xiao Yue protested that she was too young for such harsh treatment, but Su Mu remained serious.

Su Mu ordered Xiao Yue to cultivate while she protested, then opened the System Mall after earning his first Admiration Value. He discovered that a top-configuration Resurrected True Body cost an absurd amount, leaving him to consider buying a cheaper version instead.

• Xiao Yue resisted Su Mu's demand that she train and questioned why he had taken her as his disciple.
• Su Mu called Xiao Yue a Three-Inch Ding, making her angry and prompting her to demand gifts as an apology.
• Su Mu told Xiao Yue to cultivate alone for an hour and promised rewards if she showed a sincere attitude and made progress.
• Su Mu vanished and opened the System Mall, pleased that he had earned his first point of Admiration Value.
• Su Mu saw that the unique top-configuration Resurrected True Body cost nearly a billion Admiration Value and searched the mall for cheaper versions.

Su Mu questioned why the system charged an enormous price for the top-tier Resurrected True Body, which he recognized as his body from his previous life. The system explained that it had preserved and transported his body, and that he could not use it until he reached Dou Emperor; Su Mu was left wondering whether he could ever earn enough Admiration Value to reclaim it.

• Su Mu examined the Resurrected True Bodies and recognized that the unique top-tier version was his original body.
• Su Mu accused the system of making him buy his own body and demanded an explanation.
• The system denied causing Su Mu's death and said only his original body could resurrect his transmigrated soul.
• Su Mu objected to the price and proposed buying the body on credit, but the system refused.
• The system explained that transporting and preserving Su Mu's body had cost a great deal, and that he could not use it before reaching Dou Emperor.
• Su Mu accepted the explanation but remained troubled by the price and the prospect of needing nearly ten digits of Admiration Value.

Su Mu browsed the System Mall, comparing the prices of powerful items and filtering cheap options he could afford. He set out to find a gift for Xiao Yue and, after sorting low-cost products, spotted something familiar.

• The system told Su Mu that using his Resurrected True Body would cost 10,000 Admiration Value per minute and another 10,000 every day to preserve it, so he gave up on the idea.
• Su Mu checked the prices of his Soaring Heaven Sword Canon and Battle Spirit Puppet, then examined Emperor's Origin Energy and several Yellow Springs Dou Techniques.
• Su Mu realized the high-priced mall items were beyond his means and asked the system to show items costing one Admiration Value or less that could help someone in the Dou Qi realm.
• Remembering his promise to give Xiao Yue a gift, Su Mu filtered out material items and sorted the remaining products by unit price.
• Su Mu read through cultivation aids such as Meridian Expanding Potion and Spirit Gathering Medicinal Wine until he spotted a familiar item.

Su Mu observed Xiao Yue cultivating and realized her Dou Qi circulation was poor despite her Sixth Stage of Fighting Qi. After accidentally appearing in her bedroom and being teased by Xiao Yue, he vanished in embarrassment, then returned when she called him back.

• Su Mu asked Xiao Yue whether she had cultivated for the full hour, and Xiao Yue insisted she had.
• Su Mu tried to persuade Xiao Yue to cultivate longer, but she objected and threatened to end their master-disciple relationship if he kept lecturing her.

• Su Mu gave Xiao Yue a small green jade bottle of medicinal liquid that could speed up cultivation when added to a bath.
• Xiao Yue asked whether Su Mu would appear while she cultivated, and Su Mu promised to stay away unless necessary.

Xiao Yue invited Su Mu to browse the Market, hoping to shop without his interference, but he insisted on accompanying her while remaining invisible to everyone else. When she asked him to pay, Su Mu refused to exchange his precious Admiration Value for gold coins and suggested she sell the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid he had just given her.

• Xiao Yue asked Su Mu to join her for a stroll through the Market, and he eagerly agreed.
• Su Mu assured Xiao Yue that only she would be able to see him while they were out.
• Xiao Yue asked whether Su Mu had gold coins to support her shopping, and he said he would not exchange his Admiration Value for them.
• Su Mu suggested Xiao Yue sell the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid he had given her, saying it could fetch twenty or thirty thousand gold coins at auction.

• Xiao Yue complained that Su Mu had not stopped her, while he said he had let her enjoy shopping.

Su Mu bought a discounted, one-use Treasure Hunting Talisman to help him find valuable items for Xiao Yue, though it could only locate treasures up to Mysterious Tier. After leaving the ordinary stalls, they planned to search elsewhere in Wutan City.

• Xiao Yue asked Su Mu to help her find bargains after spending most of her gold coins.

• The stall owner angrily insulted the elderly woman and threatened her for interfering with his sale.

• Xiao Yue asked Su Mu to find something worthwhile at the stall, and he scanned the wares without finding anything unusual.
• Su Mu used a Treasure Hunting Talisman, which revealed golden light around a rusted Broken Sword.
• Su Mu doubted that the Broken Sword had any value and wondered whether the system had wasted his Admiration Value.
