Chapter Summaries

Da Ming and Er Ming eradicated the Sea God Family after learning that its members had come to aid the Clear Sky Sect on Tang San’s orders. As the Undead Empire consolidated control and prepared to invade the Sun Moon Empire, Qian Chaoguang emerged from seclusion to lead a prewar conference, where his commanders reported that their forces were ready for the coming battle at the Mingdou Mountain Range.

• Hu Liena extracted Sea Dragon Douluo’s memories and discovered that the Sea God Family had come to rescue the Clear Sky Sect on Tang San’s orders.
• Da Ming and Er Ming decided to eliminate the Sea God Family, and Da Ming slaughtered its more than three hundred members while their souls, bodies, and loot were recovered.
• The Undead Empire established its rule over the former Douluo Continent region and forced hidden sects and families to register their land and resources.
• With one week remaining before the war, Qian Chaoguang emerged from seclusion and convened a meeting about the Sun Moon Empire’s fortified Mingdou Mountain Range and its massed forces.
• He Caitou volunteered the Human Battle Group for the first battle, and Dai Luoli reported that the army’s supplies, equipment, and troops were ready to deploy.

Qian Chaoguang planned a restrained campaign against the Sun Moon Empire to train his forces for their future war with the God Realm. After the meeting, he went to inspect Electrolux’s newly completed Underworld teleportation array, whose severe limits still made it awkward to use.

• Qian Chaoguang assigned the Lich, Zombie, Skeleton, and Human Battle Group legions to the Mingdou Mountain Range campaign, with Mo Xuan commanding the operation and Huo Yutong supporting him.
• Qian Chaoguang forbade the use of Jamming Bombs and Jamming Devices, set limits on commanders’ power and equipment, and explained that the battle was meant to temper the troops for their eventual fight against the God Realm.
• Afan asked why the plan called for capturing and releasing defeated enemies, and Qian Chaoguang ordered him to copy Zhuge Liang’s Seven Captures of Meng Huo; Afan then understood the strategy to eliminate resistance and consolidate the Sun Moon Empire.
• After the meeting, Qian Chaoguang answered Electrolux’s summons and visited the Underworld Teleportation Tower beside the Hub Hall.
• The chapter explained that Electrolux’s cross-plane array could move Undead Beings to the Eternal Hall only through a risky, carefully timed transfer, could not transport anyone stronger than a Rank 3 God, and remained hampered by poor spatial materials.

Qian Chaoguang and Electrolux completed the Underworld Teleportation Array using a Void Crystal and mysterious silver-red liquid, which transformed the array into a divine artifact. Bibi Dong finally returned from the Underworld after ten thousand years, vowing revenge on Tang San.

• Qian Chaoguang heard Bibi Dong urging Electrolux through their Soul Link to finish improving the Teleportation Array.
• Electrolux embedded a human-head-sized Void Crystal into the array core, and Wang Dong told Qian Chaoguang that the Clear Sky Sect had used it as the core of its Sect Protection Array.
• Electrolux fused silver-red liquid into the array, causing it to awaken, draw in spatial elements, and become a divine artifact.
• Qian Chaoguang dispelled the tribulation clouds gathering over the tower as the array continued to strengthen.
• Bibi Dong emerged from the Underworld Teleportation Tower after ten thousand years and shouted that she would take revenge on Tang San.

Bibi Dong returned from the Underworld after ten thousand years and reunited warmly with Qian Chaoguang, who wondered about his mysterious origins. As she vented about her former love for Yu Xiaogang and her past decisions, she admitted that she and Xiao Xue had acted foolishly and let Tang San take advantage of them.

• Qian Chaoguang greeted Bibi Dong after she emerged from the Underworld, and she embraced him and basked in his Light Power.
• Electrolux advised Qian Chaoguang to comfort Bibi Dong with his wings, and he enclosed her in them.
• Qian Chaoguang pondered his unknown origins and possible second transmigration, then told Bibi Dong he did not know who his parents were.

• Bibi Dong showed Qian Chaoguang Yu Xiaogang's distorted soul and explained that she carried it to vent her anger.
• Bibi Dong criticized her former love for Yu Xiaogang and said she and Xiao Xue had been foolish to let Tang San claim victory.

Bibi Dong asked Qian Chaoguang to connect Yu Xiaogang’s tortured soul to the Imperial Main Network, which burned away its impurities and restored a little of his clarity. The chapter left Bibi Dong holding a weakened Yu Xiaogang on a chain and receiving the greater half of the Rakshasa Divine Seat as a possible aid to her advancement.

• Bibi Dong asked Qian Chaoguang to force a Soul Contract on Yu Xiaogang and connect him to the Imperial Main Network so it could cleanse his soul.
• Qian Chaoguang linked Yu Xiaogang to the network, and its power burned away impurities while Bibi Dong watched and kicked him.
• After more than seven minutes, Yu Xiaogang survived with a much smaller, fragile soul and managed to call out to Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong slapped Yu Xiaogang, put a Rakshasa Power collar and chain on him, and offered Qian Chaoguang a turn, which he declined.
• Qian Chaoguang gave Bibi Dong the greater half of the Rakshasa Divine Seat, and she opened its container in surprise.

Bibi Dong absorbed the damaged Rakshasa Divine Seat and advanced to Lord of Mourning, becoming the Undead Empire’s first Black Warrior Emperor. After assessing her new strength, she agreed to familiarize herself with her realm while Qian Chaoguang and Electrolux prepared to help forge her a Super Divine Artifact.

• Bibi Dong recognized the damaged Rakshasa Divine Seat and decided to absorb it to strengthen herself.
• Qian Chaoguang took Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang to the training grounds, where she fused the divine seat into her Heart of the Soul.
• Bibi Dong transformed into a Soul of Mourning and became the Undead Empire’s first Black Warrior Emperor, while Yu Xiaogang trembled under her pressure.
• Qian Chaoguang judged Bibi Dong’s strength to be close to the Demigod King level and explained that a Super Divine Artifact could let her contend with one.
• Bibi Dong asked about the unification plan and forging a Super Divine Artifact, then agreed to enter seclusion and master her new realm.

Bibi Dong toured the Eternal Hall while Qian Chaoguang continued cultivating, and the Undead Empire prepared to invade the Sun Moon Empire. As the decisive battle began, Huo Yutong arrived near the Mingdou Mountain Range with an advance force and began setting up a massive War Soul Device.

• Bibi Dong met the Eternal Hall's leaders and visitors, then stayed with Hu Liena as her guide while Qian Chaoguang returned to cultivation.
• Ju Zi convened the final war conference at the Mingdou Mountain Range fortress, where Kong Deming warned that Qian Chaoguang could deploy troops through spatial gates.
• Ju Zi rallied the Sun Moon Empire's commanders and Soul Engineers, while Qian Chaoguang's gradual plan aimed to defeat the empire and secure stable rule.
• Huo Yutong observed the Sun Moon Empire's defenses from about forty kilometers away and signaled Mo Xuan to proceed with the plan.
• Two thousand Human Battle Group soldiers emerged through Gates of Heaven under He Caitou's command, and one thousand deployed Great Wall Series Mecha to help assemble a massive War Soul Device.

The Undead Empire finished building its Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons and temporary Magic Tower array within range of the Sun Moon Empire’s mountain fortress. He Caitou ordered the opening bombardment, and the chapter ended as a thousand shells struck the fortress’s Linked Soul Guide Shield.

• The Undead Empire rapidly assembled its long-range Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons and erected 101 temporary Magic Towers around a central tower.
• Ju Zi watched the preparations from the mountain fortress but held back, unwilling to attack before understanding the enemy’s weapons.
• At Mo Xuan’s signal, He Caitou ordered the artillery crews to fire at the fortress.
• Ju Zi ordered the Sun Moon Empire’s High-Energy Compressed Array Soul Tools and Linked Defense Shield activated.
• A thousand shells wrapped in Wind and fire elements descended and crashed into the fortress’s Linked Soul Guide Shield.

The Undead Empire bombarded the Mingdou Mountain Range fortress with cheap, mass-produced shells that hit with the force of Level 6 Fixed Soul Cannonballs, while the Linked Soul Guide Shield held. By midnight the bombardment stopped, but Ju Zi learned that the fortress had only forty-eight percent of its Soul Power Reserve remaining.

• The Sun Moon Empire soldiers cheered when the Linked Soul Guide Shield withstood the first barrage, though the Rank 9 Soul Engineers realized the shells' power far exceeded their apparent grade.
• Ju Zi and Kong Deming recognized that the shells were not Fixed Soul Cannonballs, while the chapter explained how He Caitou and Qian Chaoguang had designed them for cheap, large-scale production.
• The Undead Empire fired volleys every three minutes from afternoon until midnight, hitting the fortress with well over a hundred thousand shells while its shield remained intact.
• The Undead Empire halted its bombardment at midnight, and the Sun Moon Empire shut down the Linked Soul Guide Shield at two in the morning for inspection and repairs.
• Ju Zi asked about the fortress's remaining reserves and learned they had fallen to forty-eight percent despite the Light Energy Conversion Devices operating at full power.

Ju Zi ordered the Sun Moon Empire to drop its shield and lure the Undead Empire closer, hoping to break the stalemate caused by its relentless bombardment. Kong Deming challenged her gamble and warned that her risky decisions could bring down the empire.

• The Undead Empire resumed its bombardment of Good Mountain Fortress, and Ju Zi saw that the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Power reserves could be depleted if the attack continued.
• Ju Zi rejected proposals to spend Soul Power on charging the defenses or launch a surprise attack, while Kong Deming assessed that the enemy likely had an abundant supply of shells.
• Ju Zi ordered the Linked Defense Shield deactivated after an hour so the Sun Moon Empire could conserve energy and lure the Undead Empire closer.
• After Ju Zi dismissed the others, Kong Deming criticized her for gambling with the empire's future without considering the consequences of failure.
• Ju Zi recognized that Kong Deming's criticism was justified, but the chapter ended without showing whether she would change her order.

Ju Zi ordered the Mingdou Mountain Range’s defenses to appear exhausted so the Sun Moon Empire could lure the Undead Empire closer, but Mo Xuan saw through the ploy and kept the bombardment going. Huo Yutong’s targeting guided repeated artillery strikes that breached three secondary peaks, and the Sun Moon Empire activated new defenses as the attack continued.

• Kong Deming left the command room, disagreed with Ju Zi’s risky plan, and prepared the forces in Mingdu for a possible retreat.
• Ju Zi ordered the Linked Soul Guide Shields’ power reduced gradually and instructed her forces to prepare interception measures while making their defenses look depleted.
• After the shield fell, Mo Xuan recognized the apparent weakness as a trap and ordered the Undead Empire to continue its bombardment.
• Huo Yutong guided a thousand shells onto five secondary peaks, destroying defenses and breaching three of them while the other two were protected by Level Nine Soul Tools.
• The Undead Empire launched another barrage at the breached peaks, and the Sun Moon Empire opened its mountain fortifications and raised golden pillars of light.

The Undead Empire’s precise artillery barrage devastated the Sun Moon Empire’s secondary peaks, while Ju Zi delayed activating the High-Energy Compressed Array Soul Tool. After she finally ordered the defenses restored, Kong Deming took temporary supreme command for the Battle of the Mingdou Mountain Range.

• Huo Yutong guided the Divine Punishment Giant Cannons through gaps in the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses, destroying fortresses and inflicting heavy casualties.
• The bombardment wiped out multiple secondary peaks and a Vanguard Squad, while Ju Zi’s officers repeatedly urged her to activate the High-Energy Compressed Array Soul Tool.
• Ju Zi asked where Kong Deming was before finally ordering the defensive barrier raised again.
• Kong Deming returned to the command room and announced that he would assume supreme command until the Battle of the Mingdou Mountain Range concluded.

Kong Deming took command of the Sun Moon Empire’s forces and prepared them to hold the Mingdou Mountain Range, while Ju Zi lay in despair after losing her authority. The Undead Empire began its assault with a vast army of skeletons, and the Sun Moon Empire launched a counterattack just as the bombardment ended.

• Kong Deming removed Ju Zi from command, reorganized the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses, and ordered its forces to prepare for a desperate fight.
• Ju Zi realized she had lost her chance to regain control of the army and lay helplessly in her room.
• Mo Xuan and his allies noticed troops withdrawing from the fortress and planned an assault, with Dragon One’s forces ready to charge after the bombardment.
• The Undead Empire opened Gates of Heaven and sent hundreds of thousands of beast skeletons, mechs, and allied troops toward the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Mo Xuan ordered all troops to charge after the Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons finished firing, and the Sun Moon Empire’s counterattack began.

The Undead Empire's god-tier experts withstand the Sun Moon Empire's Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonballs while the armies clash at the Mingdou Mountain Range Fortress. Huo Yutong and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm unleash the legion-class forbidden curse God of Death Descends, forcing Kong Deming to evacuate as the fortress's main peak faces destruction.

• Dragon One, Afan, He Caitou, Mo Xuan, and Xiao Xiao neutralize the fifteen Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonballs without being harmed.
• The Sun Moon Empire activates its Linked Defense Shield and Soul Tool barrage, destroying more than ten thousand Undead Empire skeletons as the Great Wall Mecha and zombies protect the advancing forces.
• Huo Yutong confirms that the Sun Moon Empire's defenses are a threat and orders Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to target the main peak.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and more than a thousand liches channel power through the Mage Towers to cast the super legion-class forbidden curse God of Death Descends.
• Kong Deming teleports Ju Zi and the command center personnel away, orders the main peak evacuated, and flees as God of Death Descends rapidly collapses the fortress's Linked Defense Shield.

The Undead Empire won the Battle of the Mingdou Mountain Range after the Lich Legion’s Death God’s Descent obliterated the fortress’s main peak and three nearby peaks, breaking the Sun Moon Empire’s resistance. The chapter ended with the battlefield being cleared, captured soldiers released, and Qian Chaoguang reviewing the losses and spoils.

• The Lich Legion’s Death God’s Descent destroyed the Linked Defense Shield and annihilated the fortress’s main peak and three secondary peaks, while Kong Deming escaped with fewer than fifty people.
• Kong Deming ordered a retreat as the Undead Empire’s mechs, artillery, and Soul Beast Skeletons dismantled the fortress and overwhelmed the Sun Moon Empire’s rearguards.
• Dragon One killed the last resisting Rank 9 Soul Engineer, and roughly one hundred thousand ordinary soldiers surrendered, ending the battle in victory for the Undead Empire.
• Mo Xuan ordered the battlefield cleared with Emperor’s Arrival, and released the captured ordinary soldiers to return wherever they wished.
• Qian Chaoguang reviewed Mo Xuan’s report and learned that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered heavy losses while the Undead Empire lost more than twenty thousand Soul Beast Skeletons permanently.

After defeating the Sun Moon Empire at the Mingdou Mountain Range, the Undead Empire advanced into the southern homeland and took control of it with little resistance. Qian Chaoguang prepared the Holy War Legion for the next offensive, while the decisive battle against the Sun Moon Empire remained ahead.

• News of the Undead Empire's victory spread across the continent, strengthening support in the former Three Douluo Kingdoms and plunging the Sun Moon Empire's leadership into panic.
• Huo Yutong reported that Eternal God Cult officials had already taken over nearby cities as Sun Moon Empire officials withdrew to defend the heartland, and Qian Chaoguang authorized the next advance.
• Qian Chaoguang barred the Human Battle Group and high-level Undead Beings from using certain technologies, honoring a promise he had made to Steel Pillar, whom he hoped would not become an enemy.
• Over the next two months, Golden Skeletons and the Eternal God Cult helped the Undead Empire take over the southern Sun Moon Empire with minimal resistance, bringing a third of its territory under their control.
• The Holy War Legion completed its preparations to attack the Sun Moon Empire's hastily built defensive perimeter.

Brother Jiu defended the Pixiu Merchant Association’s continued trade in the occupied territories, using the people’s welfare and the empire’s dependence on his organization to silence furious officials. He then challenged Kong Deming’s authority and accused him of seizing power, leaving the court unsettled over who was truly acting unlawfully.

• Kong Deming demanded that the Pixiu Merchant Association stop supplying the occupied territories, while Brother Jiu defended its trade as service to the people.
• Brother Jiu verbally outmaneuvered Minister Niu and other officials, arguing that the association protected civilians and supported the empire’s livelihoods.
• The officials restrained themselves from attacking Brother Jiu because the Pixiu Merchant Association controlled vital supplies and could cripple the empire’s military provisions.
• Kong Deming warned Brother Jiu to halt trade or face treason charges, but Brother Jiu argued that Kong lacked authority to command the empire or convict the association.
• Brother Jiu accused Kong Deming of placing the imperial dowager under house arrest and attempting to seize the throne, leaving the court questioning Kong’s legitimacy.

Kong Deming failed to force the Pixiu Merchant Association to stop trading in occupied territories after Brother Jiu exposed the legal and political risks of his demands. Three months after the Mingdou Mountain Range fell, the Undead Empire launched its large-scale offensive, beginning an air-superiority campaign that Qian Chaoguang and Mo Xuan had planned.

• Brother Jiu accused Kong Deming of plotting to seize the throne, sowing suspicion among officials aligned with the Pixiu Merchant Association.
• Brother Jiu argued that the association would obey a law or emergency decree, forcing Kong Deming to confront that only the Emperor could legally issue one.
• Kong Deming ended the court session without resolving the dispute and postponed action against the Pixiu Merchant Association until after the war.
• The Undead Empire began its large-scale offensive, and Qian Chaoguang and Mo Xuan prepared to blind Sun Moon Empire defenses and destroy its Soul Tool Array Positions from extreme altitude.
• A Gate of Heaven opened at a temporary camp in the southern Sun Moon Empire, and roughly a hundred Human Battle Group members emerged wearing insulated, rune-equipped leather armor.

The Undead Empire launched a surprise aerial raid against thirty-one Sun Moon Empire cities, using high-altitude squads, precision strikes, and jamming bombs to cripple detection networks and Soul Tool defenses. Qian Chaoguang directed the attack on Sky Star City, where Kong Deming’s forces survived some of the bombing, but the city’s defenses and detection systems had suffered heavy losses.

• A centurion led a hundred-person Human Battle Group in Flying Battle Armor to Diyang City at an altitude of roughly 5,500 meters.
• The Undead Empire’s aerial squads destroyed High-Altitude Detection Soul Tools across thirty-one cities and shot down Soul Engineers who tried to intercept them.
• The Human Battle Group scanned Diyang City, dropped bombs on Soul Tool Array Positions and barracks, and used Jamming Bombs to sever communications and disable linked defenses.
• The disabled Soul Tool Array Positions across the attacked cities erupted under bombardment, while Qian Chaoguang directed a larger assault on Sky Star City.
• The aerial squads completed their missions and began returning as the jamming effects faded; in Sky Star City, Kong Deming’s Silver Moon Divine Light Shield had intercepted some bombs, but more than one-fifth of the outer Soul Tool Array Positions were destroyed.

The Undead Empire launched a devastating bombardment against Sky Star City, then advanced with a vast force of tanks designed for ordinary people to operate. As the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses failed again, Kong Deming faced the charging steel formation without knowing how to respond.

• The Divine Punishment Giant Cannon bombarded Sky Star City, and Qian Chaoguang taunted Kong Deming from across the battlefield.
• Qian Chaoguang ordered more than ten thousand Wujiu Kai tanks and nearly two thousand Soul Engineers to charge toward the city.
• Kong Deming and Ye Yulin identified the attackers’ tanks as evidence that the Undead Empire had made War Soul Devices usable by ordinary people.
• Zhao Meng, a devout believer and tank commander, led his crew toward Sky Star City while Qian Chaoguang rode atop their tank.
• The tanks activated their jamming devices, causing the Sun Moon Empire’s linked Soul Tools and defense shield to fail again.
• The Fire Phoenix Douluo asked Kong Deming what to do, but he could only stare at the approaching tanks in helpless silence.
