Chapter Summaries

The God Realm Committee punished Poseidon for interfering with the Angel God's inheritance, sentencing him to twenty years in God Realm Prison after his confinement. The God of Destruction and Goddess of Life privately plotted to leave Poseidon at Wu Qi's mercy, while Poseidon remained unaware and continued scheming around Qian Renxue and Tang San.

• The Asura God accepted responsibility for failing to supervise Poseidon, and the God of Destruction demanded severe punishment for him.
• The Goddess of Kindness proposed that Poseidon serve twenty years in God Realm Prison after confinement, and the other God-Kings approved the sentence.
• The God Realm Committee announced Poseidon's punishment, but no deity visited him or told him about it.
• The Goddess of Life reminded the God of Destruction that Wu Qi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could make Poseidon's prison sentence dangerous, and they planned to leave Poseidon in their hands.
• Poseidon, unaware of the committee's decision, hoped Qian Renxue would follow his guidance and worried that losing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would weaken his faith power.

Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo searched Heaven Dou City for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and reconsidered their plan after hearing that Ning Fengzhi might have broken through to Soul Douluo. They decided to investigate the rumors and lure Chen Xin away before attempting to seize the national treasure.

• Tang San reflected on his progress toward Level 98 and explained why he had chosen an eighty-thousand-year ninth spirit ring for his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San arrived in Heaven Dou City with Sea Dragon Douluo to search for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while Tang Xiao stayed behind to oversee the sect and provide intelligence.
• Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo discussed rumors that Ning Fengzhi had broken through the Level 79 limit, and Sea Dragon Douluo recognized that Ning Fengzhi might now amplify the Sword Bone Douluo far more powerfully.
• Tang San decided their plan to seize the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud needed to account for Ning Fengzhi's possible strength and Chen Xin's amplified power.
• Tang San told Sea Dragon Douluo to suppress his aura to Soul Douluo level and seek information from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Gathering Righteousness Sect.

Wu Qi received the Chai Family’s warning about Sea God Island and ordered Spirit Hall’s allies to monitor the Heaven Dou Royal Treasury while he focused on mastering his new divine powers. In Heaven Dou City, Tang San learned that Subduing Demon Douluo guarded the Spirit Bank and began to doubt his plan to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• Snake Lance Douluo gave Wu Qi the Chai Family’s vague report that Sea God Island experts had come ashore.
• Wu Qi inferred that Tang San and his companions might target the Heaven Dou Royal Treasury for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and he told the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Gathering Righteousness Sect to watch secretly.
• Wu Qi decided to avoid major moves while he trained and mastered the abilities and equipment he had gained after becoming a god.
• Sea Dragon Douluo sensed Subduing Demon Douluo guarding Spirit Bank’s Heaven Dou branch and warned Tang San without exposing their presence.
• Tang San admitted he had little confidence against the Coiling Dragon Staff, and Sea Dragon Douluo urged him to reconsider the robbery because their chances were low.

Qian Renxue completed her inheritance and became the Angel God, while Spirit Hall concealed the truth and let the continent believe the Angel God had merely manifested. Tang San sensed the holy radiance as he entered the Star Luo Empire and feared Spirit Hall’s new strength could threaten his plans.

• Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo agreed to return to the Clear Sky Sect, traveling slowly so Tang San could investigate Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue completed her inheritance trial and returned to Spirit City, where her divine power bathed the city and helped Soul Masters break through bottlenecks.
• Qian Daoliu welcomed Qian Renxue, and Wu Qi congratulated her before reminding her of her duties as an Elder of Judgment.
• Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu to conceal that she had become a god, and he planned to explain the manifestation without revealing the truth.
• Tang San sensed the holy radiance from Spirit City while entering the Star Luo Empire and considered how Qian Renxue’s ascension might affect the balance of power.

Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, then traveled with Sea Dragon Douluo to Star Luo City to help Dai Mubai contend for the throne. There, Zhu Zhuqing explained how Dai Weisi and Spirit Hall had crippled Dai Mubai’s faction, leaving Dai Mubai with little room to fight back.

• Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo reported the Angel Divine Power situation to Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang, and the Clear Sky Sect prepared for possible conflict while judging that Qian Renxue had likely not yet become a Deity.
• After Spirit Hall showed no signs of mobilizing, Tang San concluded that Qian Renxue was probably undergoing a critical assessment and went to Star Luo City with Sea Dragon Douluo.
• Dai Tianfeng favored Dai Weisi despite Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing being much stronger, while Dai Weisi built influence through Spirit Bank and Spirit Daily.
• Tang San questioned Dai Mubai for failing to challenge the court’s disregard of ancestral laws, and Zhu Zhuqing explained that Dai Weisi’s influence and attacks on Dai Mubai’s allies made resistance difficult.
• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that Dai Weisi had evidence that Dai Mubai sold out the empire’s interests to secure the Clear Sky Sect’s support, while Sea Dragon Douluo warned that Spirit Daily could turn public opinion against anyone.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing discussed how Spirit Hall used its Spirit Daily and efficient distribution network to gain influence, while they considered whether Star Luo could compete. Zhu Zhuqing traced the sudden sale of new Storage Soul Tools to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but the trail ended there.

• Tang San asked whether they could replicate the Spirit Daily in the Star Luo Empire, and Zhu Zhuqing explained that its low newspaper price would make the venture lose money.
• Dai Mubai said Spirit Hall kept distribution costs low through its branch halls, post stations, and Storage Soul Tools.
• Zhu Zhuqing reported that Star Luo City shops had begun selling new, high-capacity Storage Soul Tools and that auction houses had stopped selling them.
• Zhu Zhuqing traced the tools to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which could trade in Star Luo under the armistice agreement.
• Tang San and the others could not discover where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had obtained the tools.

Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing speculated that Spirit Hall and the two empires backed the renewed production of Storage Soul Tools, strengthening Dai Weisi’s claim to the throne. To help Dai Mubai regain favor with Dai Tianfeng, Tang San arranged a Hidden Weapon deal and handed over two blueprints, leaving Dai Mubai to seek an imperial audience.

• Sea Dragon Douluo wondered whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had mastered Storage Soul Tool production, and Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing suspected powerful forces were secretly behind the sales.
• Zhu Zhuqing proposed that Dai Weisi had obtained Soul Tool technology and colluded with Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Imperial Family to develop it.
• Tang San told Dai Mubai to offer the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to the imperial army and said he would arrange production through the Clear Sky Sect.
• Dai Mubai asked for Hidden Weapon blueprints and reloading instructions to impress Dai Tianfeng, and Tang San gave him the blueprints for two weapons.
• Dai Mubai thanked Tang San, agreed to follow his plans to pursue the Crown Prince position, and left for the imperial palace.

Dai Mubai presented Tang San’s Hidden Weapons blueprints to Dai Tianfeng and gained a role in court and the Spirit Daily editorial department, while Tang San coached him on how to handle imperial affairs. Dai Weisi interpreted the appointment as a test from his father and, with Zhu Zhuyun, turned to a letter from Wu Qi as they prepared to strengthen their position.

• Dai Tianfeng accepted the two Hidden Weapons blueprints, appointed Dai Mubai to work at the Spirit Daily editorial department, and ordered him to attend court assemblies.
• Tang San advised Dai Mubai to let his supporters handle minor court matters and to consult him before taking a position on major issues.
• Dai Mubai celebrated Dai Tianfeng’s praise and promised Tang San further benefits, while Tang San planned to keep him dependent and easier to control.
• Dai Weisi told Zhu Zhuyun that Dai Tianfeng was using Dai Mubai to test them and consolidate imperial authority, then gave her Wu Qi’s letter to read.

Dai Weisi accepted Wu Qi’s cultivation resources despite suspecting his ambitions, while Wu Qi planned to use the Star Luo succession struggle to provoke conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the imperial family. More than half a year later, Wu Qi inspected Lou Gao’s improved Spirit Guiding Ship and ordered further testing against rough waves.

• Dai Weisi received Wu Qi’s letter and cultivation resources, including a demand that Spirit Hall branches gain the right to recruit guards after Dai Weisi took the throne.
• Zhu Zhuyun questioned whether they should accept the resources, but Dai Weisi decided their rapid gains in strength were worth the risk.
• Wu Qi planned to support both Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, using their rivalry to force the Clear Sky Sect into desperate action and create a pretext for the Heaven Dou Empire to invade.
• After more than half a year, Wu Qi visited the Heavenly Pool secret base, where Lou Gao showed him a Spirit Guiding Ship that traveled three times faster than an ordinary vessel.
• Wu Qi approved the ship’s progress but called for more testing, and a Soul Douluo stirred up waves to simulate deep-sea conditions.

Wu Qi ordered the construction of five Spirit Guiding warships for a planned attack on Sea God Island, while Feng Xiaotian and his companions completed their Far North trials and returned to find Spirit Hall’s reforms had transformed the continent. Feng Xiaotian’s group prepared to return to Spirit City and help with the work ahead.

• Wu Qi ordered five Spirit Guiding Ships built in secret and planned to transport them to the sea through the Poisonous Land, avoiding a direct attack that would violate God Realm rules.
• Feng Xiaotian reached the peak of level 98 but could not break through to Level 99, so Huo Wu urged him to return to Spirit City to train against Spirit Hall’s Experts.
• Feng Xiaotian and his companions waited until Ning Rongrong absorbed her God-given Spirit Ring and became a Titled Douluo, then left the Far North more than a month later.
• Feng Xiaotian’s group returned to Spirit Beast Town and found it quieter after Spirit Hall regulated Spirit Hunting Squads and expanded its Spirit Bank and newspapers.
• After learning about Spirit Hall’s reforms from the locals and the Spirit Daily, Chen Ping said he wanted to return to his post, and Huo Wu teased him.

Feng Xiaotian and his companions returned to Spirit City, where Wu Qi briefed them on plans to attack Sea God Island and showed them the expanding Soul Tool program. Meanwhile, rivalry between Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi disrupted Star Luo’s government, a situation Dai Tianfeng welcomed.

• Feng Xiaotian and his companions learned about Spirit Bank’s continent-wide bankbooks while visiting its temporary office in Icebound Town.
• Wu Qi welcomed the returning group in Spirit City and explained that he had completed his trials and was no longer a Spirit Master.
• Wu Qi assigned Feng Xiaotian and several Spirit Hall fighters to lead a secret, swift attack on Sea God Island, with Qian Daoliu included in the force.
• Wu Qi showed Feng Xiaotian’s group the Soul Tool facilities, and Ning Rongrong asked whether Soul Tools could help Support-Type Spirit Masters fight.
• Dai Weisi’s and Dai Mubai’s factions clashed in Star Luo’s court, slowing reforms, while Dai Tianfeng enjoyed the political struggle.

Tang San's political proposal failed to help Dai Mubai, while Wu Qi prepared an expedition against Sea God Island and gathered intelligence in Vast Sea City. The operation awaited the arrival of Sea God Island agents, and Wu Qi promised the Chai Family resources to reach Titled Douluo if it succeeded.

• Tang San's proposal to develop maritime trade was rejected at court, leaving Dai Mubai humiliated and his supporters exposed.
• Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing encouraged Dai Mubai, and Tang San urged him to consult Zhuqing and his ministers while Tang San focused on cultivating.
• Two months later, Wu Qi arranged for five Spirit Guiding Ships and disguised personnel to converge on Vast Sea City, while Qian Daoliu handled the Angel Legion.
• Wu Qi asked Chai Rong about the Qi Family's contacts with Sea God Island, and Chai Rong reported that agents might come ashore soon.
• Feng Xiaotian proposed staying at Chai Manor to learn navigation, and Wu Qi promised the Chai family heads resources to break through to Titled Douluo if the operation succeeded.

Wu Qi coordinated Spirit Hall’s covert preparations in Vast Sea City while the Qi Family worried about Spirit Hall’s growing influence and kept contact with Sea God Island. After a Sea God Island official visited the Qi residence, Wu Qi ordered the Qi Family’s quiet removal, and an unknown strong visitor arrived at the Qi gate.

• The Chai Brothers accepted Wu Qi’s offer of future cultivation support and asked to move their transport business inland after the battle; Wu Qi agreed on the condition that they obey market principles.
• Wu Qi secretly surveyed Spirit Hall’s growing presence in Vast Sea City as Spirit Hall forces arrived undercover and Qian Daoliu, Qian Jun, and Subduing Demon Douluo stayed at the local branch.
• Qi Jingshan suspected Spirit Hall’s commercial expansion threatened Sea God worship, but Qi Tian dismissed his concerns and praised the profits the Qi Family had earned.
• A black-robed Sea God Island official visited the Qi residence, and Wu Qi identified him as an eighty-third-level Soul Douluo before ordering Feng Xiaotian and the others to eliminate the Qi Family after he left.
• At night, Qi Jingshan spoke with the official, who questioned him about the Clear Sky Sect and Star Luo Imperial Family; afterward, a family disciple reported that an unfamiliar powerful man was waiting outside.

Feng Xiaotian and the Chai Family eliminated the Qi Family’s hidden agents in Vast Sea City and prepared to launch Spirit Hall’s attack on Sea God Island. The Spirit Guiding Ships set out under cover, while Wu Qi arranged for Qian Renxue to stand ready to support the assault.

• Feng Xiaotian distracted Qi Jingshan and Qi Tian while Qian Gu Changkong and the Chai Family’s people killed everyone else in the Qi residence.
• Qi Jingshan ordered his men to seize Feng Xiaotian, but Qian Gu Changkong revealed the slaughter, and Feng Xiaotian killed the father and son with wind blades.
• Wu Qi used Divine Sense to make witnesses believe the Qi Family had moved away, while the Chai Family kept the residence looking inhabited.
• The Chai Family took control of the Qi Family Shipyard, and Spirit Hall’s Experts boarded Spirit Guiding Ships that sailed out under the pretense of sea trials.
• Wu Qi met Qian Renxue outside Vast Sea City and asked her to provide support if the attack on Sea God Island ran into trouble; she assured him her Divine Power and the Angel Legion would protect the assault.

Feng Xiaotian led Spirit Hall’s fleet to Sea God Island, where they overwhelmed the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and began landing. Bo Saixi prepared the island’s defenders for a desperate fight as Aaron led Spirit Hall’s forces toward Sea Horse City.

• The fleet reached Sea God Island, and Feng Xiaotian ordered Qian Gu Changkong to kill the Demon Soul Great White Sharks guarding its waters.
• Qian Gu Changkong crushed the defenders with his Coiling Dragon Staff, while Feng Xiaotian arranged the fleet’s advance and sent the Angel Legion to clear the sea.
• Bo Saixi sensed Spirit Hall’s invasion, received no answer from the Sea God, and ordered the Sacred Pillar Douluos to evacuate residents and gather at the Sea God Temple.
• Xiao Bai withdrew the surviving Demon Soul Great White Sharks to defend the Sea God Temple, while Spirit Hall’s fleet landed on a tidal flat.
• Aaron led Spirit Hall’s troops toward Sea Horse City, vowing to avenge his capture and humiliation on Sea God Island.

After Spirit Hall looted Sea God Island, Wu Qi rewarded Feng Xiaotian and the others and proposed a Contribution Point system for exchanging treasures. At the Elder Council meeting, Qian Gu Changkong raised concerns about what would happen if the treasury ran out of treasures, leaving the system’s future unresolved.

• Qian Daoliu returned and told Wu Qi that Bo Saixi had escaped, and several days later Feng Xiaotian and the others brought Sea God Island’s spoils back to Spirit Hall.
• Wu Qi ordered the soul bones placed in Spirit Hall’s treasury, let the fighters choose up to three each, and assigned the Demon Soul Great White Shark’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Qian Gu Changkong.
• Wu Qi awarded Feng Xiaotian two hundred Contribution Points, gave Qian Gu Changkong ten, and promised twenty to each of the others, explaining that outsiders could exchange through honorary affiliation.
• At the quarterly Elder Council meeting, Wu Qi presented his plan to use Contribution Points to circulate treasury treasures without disrupting the Gold Soul Coin market.
• Qian Gu Changkong asked how Contribution Points would retain value if Spirit Hall’s treasury ran out of treasures, prompting the elders to await Wu Qi’s answer.

Wu Qi established Contribution Points for Spirit Hall's treasury, approved rewards for the Sea God Island expedition, and spurred the Hall's Experts to pursue resources and breakthroughs. Meanwhile, Bo Saixi reached Star Luo City and approached Sea Dragon Douluo, who sensed an aura behind him while advising Dai Mubai.

• Wu Qi explained how Spirit Hall members could earn and use Contribution Points, and the Elders approved the treasury reform.
• Wu Qi announced Contribution Point rewards for Soul Douluo Experts, Soul Saint Experts, and Soul Emperors who fought in the Sea God Island expedition, while reserving rewards for the Titled Douluo for himself.
• Spirit Hall's upper ranks began seeking Contribution Points and treasures, while some Soul Masters stuck at Soul Emperor rank entered seclusion to attempt breakthroughs.
• Bo Saixi arrived before Star Luo City and located Sea Dragon Douluo, who was staying at Dai Mubai's residence and advising him in the contest against Dai Weisi.
• Sea Dragon Douluo sensed an aura emerge behind him, turned around, and assumed a combat stance.

Bo Saixi told Tang San that Spirit Hall had destroyed Sea God Island, but she still believed he could inherit the Sea God’s position without the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Tang San summoned Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang to Star Luo City, while Wu Qi urged Feng Xiaotian to conceal the disturbance caused by his coming breakthrough so Tang San would not begin his inheritance.

• Bo Saixi told Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo that Spirit Hall had invaded and destroyed Sea God Island, and she promised to help Tang San complete the final step of his inheritance.
• Sea Dragon Douluo said the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was still missing, but Bo Saixi explained that the Sea God's remaining Divine Sense could guide Tang San into the inheritance temple without it.
• Tang San decided to summon Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang to discuss the crisis and the possibility of rescuing Tang Chen.
• Tang Xiao received Tang San's letter urging him and Yu Xiaogang to come to Star Luo City and began gathering people to leave.
• Feng Xiaotian reached Level 99, and Wu Qi warned him that his ascension could alert Tang San, so they needed to conceal the disturbance.

Feng Xiaotian entered the Poisonous Land to break through, while Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, and Dai Mubai discussed how to counter Spirit Hall and seize the Star Luo throne. Zhu Zhuqing saw that a coup could leave her and the Zhu Family powerless, so she began considering defecting to Spirit Hall.

• Wu Qi opened a Space Tunnel, and Feng Xiaotian entered the Poisonous Land to break through in secret.
• Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang learned from Bo Saixi that Spirit Hall had a Deity, and Tang Xiao feared it could soon threaten both empires.
• Dai Mubai asked Tang Xiao and Tang San for help against Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, while Yu Xiaogang proposed a palace coup to place him on the throne.
• Tang Xiao prioritized helping Tang San inherit the Sea God's divine position and asked Yu Xiaogang to advise Dai Mubai.
• Zhu Zhuqing concluded that the coup could make her expendable and began planning an escape, including the possibility of defecting to Spirit Hall.

As Dai Mubai’s allies prepared a palace coup in Star Luo City, Zhu Zhuqing grew wary of the Clear Sky Sect’s plans and Spirit Hall sought to exploit her uncertainty. Spirit Hall helped weaken Dai Weisi’s position, and he ended the chapter confined to his mansion and cut off from outside contact.

• Yu Xiaogang and Bo Saixi discussed the palace coup, while Yu Xiaogang decided Zhu Zhuqing could not be allowed to remain if her loyalties threatened their plans.
• Zhu Zhuqing left Dai Mubai Mansion to shop, but she returned near dusk without tipping anyone off and passed Bo Saixi’s test.
• At Papal Hall, Wu Qi ordered his agents to keep investigating Zhu Zhuqing and offer her protection in exchange for intelligence.
• Nether Leopard Douluo publicly accused Dai Weisi of abusing the Newspaper Office, forcing the Star Luo Empire to replace its liaison and depriving Dai Weisi of a key political tool.
• Dai Tianfeng confined Dai Weisi to his residence after Dai Mubai’s faction gained ground, and Dai Mubai’s people surrounded the mansion so no one could leave or send a letter.
