Chapter Summaries

Huo Yutong and the unconscious Qian Chaoguang crossed the void through the Mind Barrier and crash-landed in a strange Spiritless Land. After learning that Qian Chaoguang’s soul was badly injured and could recover only with abundant Soul Power, Huo Yutong used his emergency supplies and a conversion tool to prepare for survival.

• The Mind Barrier carried Huo Yutong and Qian Chaoguang through the void before they crashed onto an ancient platform in a world without World Origin Energy or elements.
• Huo Yutong discovered that her Soul Power was rapidly draining, many Soul Skills could not function, and she had lost contact with the Empire Soul Network.
• Electrolux briefly awakened and told Huo Yutong that Qian Chaoguang’s soul was deteriorating, that they were no longer on Douluo Continent, and that she needed to find concentrated Soul Power to save him.
• Huo Yutong found that she could not open her Storage Soul Tools normally, but retrieved Qian Chaoguang’s emergency resource pack and equipped a Soul Power Conversion Soul Tool.
• Huo Yutong used the conversion tool to access their supplies, set aside High-Energy Sealed Milk Bottles for Soul Power, and placed Qian Chaoguang in a padded alloy box.

Huo Yutong advanced to Super Douluo while guarding Qian Chaoguang, whose damaged soul still needed an enormous amount of Soul Power to recover. She suspected they had landed in the Underworld and traveled through its desolate wilderness, where a sudden warning from the Eye of Destiny revealed that the land’s negative power had nearly overwhelmed her mind.

• Huo Yutong placed their Soul Crystals around Qian Chaoguang, but realized they would restore less than one-thousandth of his soul’s damage.
• In a forbidden land, a madwoman laughed and rambled about needing new toys, memories, and stories before addressing someone as her darling.
• Huo Yutong absorbed Little White’s Soul Ring and Left Leg Soul Bone, breaking through to Super Douluo and reaching the middle stage of the Divine Origin Realm in Spiritual Power.
• Huo Yutong told Snow Empress that the strange realm might be the Underworld, where she could seek Soul Power to awaken Qian Chaoguang but might be unable to return to Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yutong traveled through a barren wilderness for hours, following the Eye of Destiny’s faint guidance while searching for Soul Power and a way forward.
• The Eye of Destiny jolted Huo Yutong as she realized negative power had contaminated her Sea of Spirit and nearly extinguished its light.

Huo Yutong survived the Underworld’s deadly Wind of Repose by sheltering with the unconscious Qian Chaoguang inside a burrow, then devised a coffin to endure its regular cycles. After a month of travel, she continued deeper into the unknown, using the storm’s peaceful intervals to recover.

• Huo Yutong’s Eye of Destiny warned her of the approaching Wind of Repose, so she and her companions carved a shelter into a rocky hill and sealed themselves inside with Qian Chaoguang.
• Huo Yutong explained that the storm could kill living beings and most undead, but could also strengthen souls and halt the worsening of Qian Chaoguang’s injury.
• After the storm ended, Huo Yutong carved a black stone coffin and continued onward, carrying Super Energy Gel for food and recovery.
• Huo Yutong learned that the Wind of Repose arrived punctually at midnight and lasted twelve hours, so she hid in the coffin during each storm and traveled during the remaining hours.
• Huo Yutong continued traveling for a month through the Underworld, enduring the storm’s daily cycle as she journeyed deeper into the unknown.

Huo Yutong crossed from the Purple Grass Wasteland into the Gloomy Forest, where she and Snow Empress were attacked by overwhelming numbers of Mutated Soul Bodies. They fought their way back toward the wasteland, with Qian Chaoguang’s soul injury still worsening and their pursuers close behind.

• Huo Yutong found the end of the Purple Grass Wasteland and crossed into the eerie Gloomy Forest, then waited in the Black Stone Coffin for the Wind of Repose to pass.
• Huo Yutong entered the forest with Snow Empress and detected hostile shadows gathering in the gray mist.
• Huo Yutong identified the attackers as Mutated Soul Bodies and discovered that striking between their dark red eyes exposed their cores.
• Huo Yutong and Snow Empress fought the monsters, but their numbers kept increasing until they surrounded the pair.
• Huo Yutong gathered the fallen black crystals and led Snow Empress in a retreat through the Gloomy Forest.

Huo Yutong and Snow Empress discovered that purified Chaos Soul Crystals gave Qian Chaoguang only slight relief, so Huo Yutong resolved to seek stronger Mutated Soul Bodies deeper in the Shadow Forest. On her next expedition, she charged into the forest with Snow Empress and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass supporting her, but thousands of monsters surrounded her as she smashed through their ranks.

• Snow Empress and Huo Yutong escaped the Mutated Soul Bodies through the barrier into the Purple Grass Wasteland, where the creatures could not follow.
• Huo Yutong explained that Chaos Soul Crystals could be purified into Soul Power, then refined nearly two thousand crystals and fed them to Qian Chaoguang, whose recovery barely improved.
• Huo Yutong built an underground camp for Qian Chaoguang, then joined Snow Empress in killing Mutated Soul Bodies near the barrier and collecting tens of thousands of crystals.
• After refining the crystals and seeing only modest progress in Qian Chaoguang's recovery, Huo Yutong decided to venture deeper into the Shadow Forest to find stronger monsters.
• Huo Yutong raced into the Shadow Forest with Snow Empress and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass supporting her, but the Mind Barrier failed to hide her from the pursuing Mutated Soul Bodies.
• Huo Yutong charged through the encircling monsters, smashing them with her body while one creature swallowed a cracked Chaos Soul Crystal and rapidly grew stronger.

Huo Yutong found large numbers of Rank 4 Mutated Soul Bodies deep in the Shadow Forest, confirming that stronger Chaos Soul Crystals could help save Qian Chaoguang. She discovered that Soul Stone could conceal souls from the monsters and began crafting a Soul Stone external armor, while training to combine her Bloodline Power with Spiritual Power for combat.

• Huo Yutong pushed deeper into the Shadow Forest, then killed seventeen Rank 4 Mutated Soul Bodies and escaped back to the Purple Grass Wasteland before the Wind of Repose arrived.
• Huo Yutong refined the Rank 4 Chaos Soul Crystals and concluded that Qian Chaoguang would need higher-grade crystals or more kills to recover.
• Huo Yutong tested a Soul Stone Coffin and discovered that it concealed the soul inside from Mutated Soul Bodies, though using her Spiritual Domain still drew the monsters toward her.
• Huo Yutong gathered Soul Stone and designed a Peak Rank 9 external armor to help her travel through the Shadow Forest while protecting Qian Chaoguang.
• Huo Yutong forged the armor’s impact-resistant outer shell with Snow Empress and practiced combining Bloodline Power with Spiritual Power as she worked.
• Huo Yutong began carving Micro-carving Arrays into Soul Stone components, integrating the inner shell with the Core Magic Arrays.

Huo Yutong completed the Underworld King Set, a Peak Rank 9 Soul Tool that let her travel safely through the Shadow Forest while searching for high-rank Mutated Soul Bodies and a way to revive Qian Chaoguang. After a Rank 9 Fusion Dragon attacked her, it mistook her for a Soul Master and mentioned a King-level Undead, leaving Huo Yutong with new questions as the fight continued.

• Huo Yutong finished assembling the Underworld King Set after nearly a hundred hours of work, then collapsed from exhaustion.
• Huo Yutong and Snow Empress set out through the Shadow Forest with Qian Chaoguang and supplies, and the armor allowed Huo Yutong to pass Mutated Soul Bodies without provoking them.
• Huo Yutong noticed that Rank 4 Mutated Soul Bodies showed signs of intelligence and worried that stronger ones might attack or recognize her.
• A Rank 9 Fusion Dragon appeared, killed nearby Mutated Soul Bodies with its pressure, and gathered their Chaos Soul Crystals and blue fruits.
• The Fusion Dragon discovered Huo Yutong and attacked; she fought back with her spiritual power, Extreme Ice sword, and Dark Gold Dreadclaws.
• The Fusion Dragon recognized Huo Yutong as a Titled Douluo Soul Master, demanded to know how one could be in the Underworld, and then resumed its attack.

Huo Yutong killed a Rank 9 Fusion Dragon, studied its memories, and learned about the Underworld’s factions and dangers. After the crystal only briefly improved Qian Chaoguang’s condition, she realized she needed a new plan to gather Soul Crystals and strengthen herself before time ran out.

• Huo Yutong used Asura’s Eye and Soul Judgment to destroy the Fusion Dragon, then took its Chaos Soul Crystal and fled the battlefield.
• Huo Yutong purified the crystal and sorted through the Fusion Dragon’s fragmented memories, learning about the Forest of Aberrations, the Eternal Sleep Kingdom, and the Forbidden Land.
• Huo Yutong fed the Rank 9 Chaos Soul Crystal to Qian Chaoguang, whose soul briefly improved but would deteriorate again without the Wind of Repose.
• Huo Yutong calculated that gathering enough Rank 9 crystals by fighting lord groups was beyond her current ability and that Qian Chaoguang had only a limited time left.
• Huo Yutong decided to harvest fifth- and sixth-rank Mutated Soul Bodies while refining her combat techniques and conserving Soul Power.

Huo Yutong rescued the exhausted Seven Kill King, who revealed himself as Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, and learned that she had come from the Place of Return. As Chen Xin explained the Eternal Sleep Kingdom’s desperate shortage of resources and its political factions, Huo Yutong considered how to secure help for Qian Chaoguang.

• Huo Yutong detected the pursued Seven Kill King and killed one of his Quasi-Lord-level enemies with a purple-gold Spiritual Power attack.
• The Seven Kill King killed the remaining Quasi-Lord-level Mutated Soul Body with the Seven Kill Sword, then collapsed from exhaustion.
• Huo Yutong sheltered the unconscious Seven Kill King in a Holy Blessing Stone coffin, and he awoke to discover she was alive and that she possessed Soul Rings.
• The Seven Kill King introduced himself as Chen Xin, and Huo Yutong recognized him as the legendary Sword Douluo who had fought in the Divine War.
• Chen Xin gave Huo Yutong a Rank 9 Chaos Soul Crystal and learned that she had entered the Underworld through the Place of Return, where she had found Holy Blessing Stones but no Void Spirit Turtles.
• Huo Yutong told Chen Xin about Qian Chaoguang’s injuries, and Chen Xin explained the Eternal Sleep Kingdom’s resource crisis and the factions within its Eternal Council.

The Eternal Sleep Kingdom struggled to hold the Wall of Sighs as its leaders debated a desperate offensive against the Forest of Aberrations. Rain Swallow raised the possibility of seeking help from the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, but Sky Fox warned that the increasingly unstable madwoman might soon repeat her catastrophic rampage.

• Chen Xin said Shrek and Body Sect might help save Qian Chaoguang, but he doubted they could gather enough Chaos Soul Crystals; he promised to escort Huo Yutong and Qian Chaoguang back to the Eternal Sleep Kingdom.
• Six months later, the Wall of Sighs endured another assault, and the Eternal Council assembled after seven of its members had died in battle.
• The Sacred Monarch ordered Sky Fox to summon replacements, then asked Rain Swallow for news of Seven Kill's rescue party, which had vanished in the Forest of Aberrations.
• The Sacred Monarch proposed reviving the dangerous offensive plan, while the Sun Moon Monarch and Green Wood opposed risking the kingdom's remaining forces.
• Rain Swallow asked whether the Eternal Council could turn to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and Sky Fox warned that the Lord had grown more volatile and had not been fully lucid for three thousand years.
• Sky Fox recalled that nine thousand years earlier the mad Lord had slaughtered Monarchs on both sides before regaining clarity, devastating the Eternal Sleep Empire and the Forest of Aberrations, then sealing herself at the Wall of Sighs.

The Sacred Monarch’s council approved a renewed offensive against the Mutated Soul Bodies, and the Eternal Sleep Kingdom marched beyond the Wall of Sighs. As the enemy lords learned that a newly revealed Monarch-level undead was killing their forces, the opposing armies converged on the battlefield.

• The Sacred Monarch rejected the Swallow Monarch’s suggestion to rely on the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and the council passed Blazing Fire’s proposal to launch another offensive and activate the second assistance-seeking plan.
• The Swallow Monarch privately decided that the Shrek Faction would support the Sacred Monarch’s radical plan and that she would bring Blazing Fire, Storm, and Green Wood.
• The Sacred Monarch mourned seven fallen undead in the memorial chamber, complained about his burdens and family, and reflected on his unfinished Heart of the Soul research.
• The Sacred Monarch ordered the Eternal Sleep Kingdom’s assembled armies to advance through the Wall of Sighs toward the Forest of Aberrations.
• The giant strange bird lord revealed that a previously unknown female Monarch-level being was killing Mutated Soul Bodies alongside Seven Kill King, prompting the lords to consider uniting against her.
• A Rank 9 Emerald Demon Bird reported that the Eternal Sleep Kingdom had launched a full-scale attack, and the Mutated Soul Body lords rallied their forces to meet it.

The Eternal Sleep Kingdom launched a massive assault on the Forest of Aberrations, hoping to distract the Mutated Soul Body lords while the Swallow Monarch slipped into the Place of Return. Huo Yutong and Chen Xin spotted the battle from afar and raced toward it, while the clash intensified across the front lines and in the sky.

• The Sacred Monarch led the Angel Legion and the Eternal Sleep Kingdom’s formations into battle against the Mutated Soul Bodies, with the Swallow Monarch’s attempt to reach the Place of Return as their hidden objective.
• Huo Yutong and Chen Xin, returning from the Place of Return with Qian Chaoguang secured in a coffin, saw the distant flashes and realized the Eternal Sleep Kingdom had gone on the offensive.
• Chen Xin explained the Sacred Monarch’s aggressive plan to draw the Mutated Soul Body lords’ attention, then set off with Huo Yutong to join the battle and attack from behind.
• The two armies collided in a vast and brutal struggle as the undead formations resisted the Mutated Soul Bodies’ overwhelming numbers and high-tier attacks.
• The Sacred Monarch fought eight lord-level Mutated Soul Bodies while the Sky Fox Monarch descended to the ground and used her power of charm to turn many enemies against one another.

Bai Chenxiang slipped through the Mutated Soul Body army and met Chen Xin and Huo Yutong in the Forest of Aberrations. The trio returned toward the battlefield, where Huo Yutong revealed her power, killed two Lords, and left Bai Chenxiang poised to intercept the retreating Dragon King Lord.

• The Sky Fox Monarch destroyed hordes of Mutated Soul Bodies and restored the undead army while the Heaven Shaking Monarch and Body Monarch kept the enemy Lords occupied.
• Bai Chenxiang raced toward the Place of Return but encountered high-ranking Mutated Soul Bodies, which Huo Yutong and Chen Xin attacked before revealing themselves to her.
• Chen Xin introduced Huo Yutong to Bai Chenxiang, who learned that the Place of Return could not be entered by undead and agreed to return to the battlefield with them.
• Huo Yutong joined Bai Chenxiang on the aerial battlefield, revealed her Soul Rings and Fist of Destiny, and instantly killed the bird monster Lord.
• The Sacred Monarch seized the opening to kill the Dragon-Clawed Octopus Lord, while the Dragon King Lord tried to flee and Bai Chenxiang appeared in its path.

Huo Yutong helped the Eternal Sleep Kingdom win a historic battle, then told the Eternal Council about her origins and Qian Chaoguang’s condition. Her brother’s name and extraordinary powers stirred the Angel Family’s hopes, while her account of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire’s crimes left the council furious.

• Bai Chenxiang struck the Dragon King Lord with the Holy Blessing Stone pillar, and Huo Yutong killed it before the Sacred Monarch announced the deaths of the three lords and the undead army routed the Mutated Soul Bodies.
• At the Eternal Council’s victory meeting, the Sacred Monarch awarded Huo Yutong the Dragon-Clawed Octopus’s Chaos Soul Crystal, and she explained that she needed far more crystals to heal Qian Chaoguang.
• Huo Yutong named Qian Chaoguang and described his unusual Sacred Light power, prompting the Angel Family members to wonder whether their Qian lineage had survived; the Sacred Monarch examined Qian Chaoguang but revealed no conclusion.
• Huo Yutong recounted her childhood and explained the Holy Spirit Cult’s growth, sparking a dispute over Shrek Academy’s failure to stop Evil Soul Masters and its broad definition of Evil Martial Souls.
• Huo Yutong revealed that the Sun Moon Empire had made the Holy Spirit Cult its state religion and aided its atrocities, including the deaths of more than two hundred thousand people; the Body Monarch berated the stunned Sun Moon Monarch.

Huo Yutong explained her and Qian Chaoguang’s backgrounds and the continent’s war to the Eternal Council, winning support to gather resources for his recovery. After the council dispersed, the Sacred Monarch revealed that he was the Angel God’s brother and recognized Qian Chaoguang as a descendant of the Qian Family, then explained that waking him would require vast quantities of high-grade Chaos Soul Crystals held by Bibi Dong.

• Huo Yutong explained how she and Qian Chaoguang joined Shrek Academy and became connected to the Body Sect, and she proved her Sea God Pavilion identity to the Storm Monarch.
• Huo Yutong described the Sun Moon Empire’s war, the fall of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the fates of several sects; Bai Chenxiang dismissed the Tang Sect as a failing institution and offered Shrek’s resources to help Qian Chaoguang.
• The Sacred Monarch ended the council meeting without a vote, while the Body Sect and Shrek Faction agreed to contribute Chaos Soul Crystals for Qian Chaoguang’s recovery.
• After everyone else left, the Sacred Monarch told Huo Yutong that he was the Angel God’s biological younger brother and that Qian Chaoguang’s recognition by the Angel Holy Sword proved his Qian Family bloodline.
• The Sacred Monarch estimated that Qian Chaoguang needed more than one hundred lord-level and five hundred ninth-rank Chaos Soul Crystals, then identified Bibi Dong as the likely source and began explaining how the Temple of Rebirth affected souls.

The Sacred Monarch explained how Bibi Dong’s thousand years of isolation in the Temple of Rebirth drove her mad, then took Huo Yutong and Hu Liena into the Forbidden Zone to seek Chaos Soul Crystals that could help save Qian Chaoguang. Bibi Dong recognized Huo Yutong but mistook the Sacred Monarch for Qian Xunjí and struck him down, leaving Huo Yutong alone with the unpredictable Rakshasa God.

• The Sacred Monarch explained that Bibi Dong had spent a thousand years lucid and alone in the Temple of Rebirth before madness drove her into the Eternal Sleep Kingdom.
• Huo Yutong revealed that Qian Chaoguang had stored the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and Bibi Dong’s divine body in a sealed case, while the Sacred Monarch agreed to seek Chaos Soul Crystals for her.
• The Sun Moon Monarch left Huo Yutong a box of high-quality Chaos Soul Crystals, and the Eternal Council’s monarchs prepared to help her search for more in the Forbidden Zone.
• The Sacred Monarch, Huo Yutong, and Hu Liena entered Bibi Dong’s castle, where Bibi Dong recognized Huo Yutong but mistook the Sacred Monarch for Qian Xunjí and severely injured him with one punch.
• Hu Liena tried to calm Bibi Dong by identifying herself as her disciple, but Bibi Dong demanded to know where Qian Renxue was and then blew Hu Liena out of the castle, leaving Huo Yutong alone with her.

Huo Yutong traded her memories for Bibi Dong’s Chaos Soul Crystals, but Bibi Dong then forced her to watch Qian Chaoguang’s memories. The Visualization Diagram instead showed a parallel fate in which Qian Chaoguang never existed, leaving Huo Yutong to witness how much worse Huo Yuhao’s life had been.

• Bibi Dong gave Huo Yutong a vast supply of Chaos Soul Crystals after learning she wanted them to save Qian Chaoguang, and Huo Yutong showed Bibi Dong her memories.
• After watching Huo Yutong’s memories, Bibi Dong demanded to see Qian Chaoguang’s and used her soul power to investigate him despite Huo Yutong’s protests.
• The Visualization Diagram deceived Bibi Dong and revealed an alternate life in which Huo Yun’er named her son Dai Yuhao, who later became Huo Yuhao without Qian Chaoguang’s help.
• Huo Yutong watched Huo Yuhao endure poverty, mistreatment, dangerous battles, and Shrek’s failures, while Bibi Dong mocked the misfortunes of Tang San’s side.
• The memories showed Wang Dong’s fate merging with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and revealed the consequences of Tang San’s scheme, leaving Huo Yutong frightened by the life her counterpart might have faced.
• Huo Yutong watched Huo Yuhao lose Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and Mu En, then suffer further hardship as an exchange student and receive no justice after being imprisoned and interrogated.

Huo Yutong, Bibi Dong, the Snow Empress, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass watched a parallel fate in which Huo Yuhao suffered under Tang San’s schemes and lost the people he loved. The visions ended with Huo Yuhao in the God Realm, while Bibi Dong asked Huo Yutong whether she preferred the fate Qian Chaoguang had helped her escape.

• Huo Yutong and Bibi Dong watched Huo Yuhao’s failed raid on Mingde Hall and compared his ineffective use of the Demi-plane with Qian Chaoguang’s achievements.
• The visions showed Huo Yuhao enduring repeated disasters, including the destruction of Mingdu and the deaths of Wang Dong’er and Wang Qiu’er, while Tang San manipulated his fate.
• Electrolux became enraged when Tang San repeatedly killed Huo Yuhao in Qiankun Valley of Love and Emotion and destroyed the protection Electrolux had left him.
• Tang San combined Xiao Qi, Wang Qiu’er, and Wang Dong’er into Tang Wutong, while Huo Yuhao lost his will to resist and spent the rest of his life serving others under Tang San’s control.
• Bibi Dong comforted the tearful Huo Yutong and asked whether she preferred her own fate to the parallel world’s tragic one.

Huo Yutong persuaded Bibi Dong to use the Chaos Soul Crystals to heal Qian Chaoguang, who awakened after comprehending the sixth form of his Blade Art and briefly fought Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong mistook him for Qian Renxue’s son and introduced him to a grotesque soul body she identified as Yu Xiaogang; as Huo Yutong led him away from the Wind of Repose, Qian Chaoguang learned they had been in the Underworld for over half a year.

• Huo Yutong rejected Bibi Dong’s suggestion that she resent Qian Chaoguang, and Bibi Dong agreed to help overturn the gods’ influence.
• Bibi Dong burned the Chaos Soul Crystals to restore Qian Chaoguang’s soul, while he refined his Blade Art in darkness and awakened after creating its sixth form, Netherworld.
• Bibi Dong attacked Qian Chaoguang, but stopped when she recognized the Angel Holy Sword and mistook him for Qian Renxue’s son; Huo Yutong urged him to play along.
• Bibi Dong introduced Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong to a monstrous soul body she called their Maternal Grandfather, Yu Xiaogang, then sent them away before the Wind of Repose arrived.
• Huo Yutong explained through the Soul Link that they had reached the Underworld after she used Domain Shuttle following their battle with the Sea God Douluo, and Qian Chaoguang learned that Electrolux had awakened only half a month earlier.
• As the siblings approached the others, Qian Chaoguang recognized familiar figures from the Divine War and awkwardly realized he had once dug up their graves.

Qian Chaoguang learned that the Angel Holy Sword recognized him as a member of the Angel Family, and more than a hundred undead relatives welcomed him at the Eternal Council. The Sacred Monarch introduced him to Yellow Spring Immortal Dew and revealed Electrolux, who began discussing the path to high-rank undead with him.

• The Sacred Monarch and Huo Yutong explained that the Angel Holy Sword had confirmed Qian Chaoguang’s Angel Family bloodline, and the sword rejected Huo Yutong and the Body Sect Grand Ancestor.
• Qian Chaoguang returned to the Eternal Council and faced more than a hundred Angel Family monarchs and elders, who eagerly argued over what he should call them before the Sacred Monarch settled on “Ancestor.”
• The Sacred Monarch asked about Qian Chaoguang’s Soul Rings and cultivation, and Qian Chaoguang said he had exploded his rings and was around rank 95.
• The Sacred Monarch served Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong Yellow Spring Immortal Dew, which took on the flavors they most desired and could be changed using Soul Power.
• The Sacred Monarch sensed Electrolux in Qian Chaoguang’s Sea of Consciousness and invited him to join them; after meeting, Electrolux and the Sacred Monarch began discussing how to advance the Heart of the Soul to high rank.
