Chapter Summaries

Kong Deming ordered the Sun Moon Empire’s remaining Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonballs fired at Qian Chaoguang’s advancing army, but the Undead Empire’s defenses neutralized the attack. With Sky Star City on the verge of falling, Kong Deming prepared to surrender and retreated his forces, while Liao Mengkai challenged Qian Chaoguang, reached Super Douluo level in his final strike, and died; Qian Chaoguang preserved his soul and Essence Blood for resurrection.

• Kong Deming ordered all thirty remaining Level Nine Fixed Soul Cannonballs launched at the Holy War Legion, but anti-aircraft fire, earth-element shields, and Qian Chaoguang’s spatial power prevented them from causing meaningful damage.
• Kong Deming gave Ye Yulin a conditional surrender document and an imperial accession decree, then ordered him to retreat with the Sun Moon Empire’s forces and protect the Xu Family’s last heir.
• Liao Mengkai flew to Qian Chaoguang and asked to fight him, refusing an offer to join the Undead Empire because he would not betray his homeland.

• Qian Chaoguang collected Liao Mengkai’s soul and Essence Blood, preserving them for the Great Resurrection Technique, while Kong Deming realized what the blood could be used for.

Kong Deming traded his research, assets, and Silver Moon Divine Light Shield for promises from Qian Chaoguang, then died after learning how thoroughly the Undead Empire had infiltrated and outmaneuvered the Sun Moon Empire. Qian Chaoguang sent Kong Deming’s soul toward reincarnation, returned his body to the retreating Soul Engineers, and ordered the capture of Sky Star City.

• Kong Deming offered his knowledge and possessions in exchange for protection of the Xu Family’s last direct bloodline, a post-surrender account of his actions, and freedom from soul control after his suicide; Qian Chaoguang agreed to the terms with clarifications.

• Qian Chaoguang intercepted Ye Yulin’s retreating Soul Engineers and gave them Kong Deming’s coffin, promising them safe passage unless they attacked him.
• The Holy War Legion overwhelmed the defenders and captured Sky Star City; Qian Chaoguang sent cleanup crews, officials, and troops through the Imperial Main Network and Gate of Heaven.

Qian Chaoguang oversaw the Undead Empire’s advance and resurrected Liao Mengkai, who awoke bewildered in the Empire’s Research Department and was told to recover and get back to work. Three months later, the Sun Moon Empire had been reduced to Mingdu, its forces largely resigned to defeat while the Undead Empire prepared to take control.

• After Sky Star City fell, Qian Chaoguang delegated the remaining war plans and focused on cultivation, while planning to revive Liao Mengkai and study Kong Deming’s technical materials.
• Qian Chaoguang resurrected Liao Mengkai in a newly strengthened, youthful body, and Xia Xuanchen and Jing Hongchen welcomed him to the Undead Empire’s Research Department.
• Liao Mengkai woke in a medical pod, mistook his surroundings for the Underworld, and learned from Jing Hongchen that Qian Chaoguang had resurrected him.
• Qian Chaoguang told Liao Mengkai to recover his cultivation and return to work, leaving Xia Xuanchen and Jing Hongchen laughing at his confusion.
• Three months later, the Sun Moon Empire had only Mingdu left, as most troops disbanded or stopped resisting after Ye Yulin spread Kong Deming’s final decree.
• The remaining Sun Moon Empire soldiers and Soul Engineers resisted outside cities, while the Undead Empire’s forces fought them without harming civilians.

The Undead Empire surrounded Mingdu, and Qian Chaoguang confronted the Sun Moon Empire’s final resistance before recognizing his former teacher and brother, Liu TieZhu, among its ranks. Their reunion left them reminiscing on the battlefield while the fate of Mingdu remained unresolved.

• The Undead Empire’s forces surrounded Mingdu as the Sun Moon Empire gathered its last resistance army and officials prepared to curry favor with Brother Jiu.

• Qian Chaoguang recognized Liu TieZhu among the resistance fighters and recalled their years together at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Liu TieZhu stepped forward and invited Qian Chaoguang to meet him, prompting Huo Yutong to identify him as Qian Chaoguang’s esteemed teacher and the founder of the Empire’s armor technologies.
• Qian Chaoguang crossed the battlefield, greeted Liu TieZhu as Brother Zhu, and sat with him to reminisce about their work and old acquaintances.

Qian Chaoguang confronted his friend Liu TieZhu, who refused to join the Undead Empire because the Sun Moon Empire was his homeland and asked Qian Chaoguang to kill him. After Liu TieZhu died in their duel and the resistance army was defeated, the Undead Empire unified Douluo Star, though the war with the God Realm still lay ahead.

• Qian Chaoguang restored Liu TieZhu's erased memories and offered to revive Kong Deming, but Liu TieZhu refused to abandon the resistance or his homeland.
• Liu TieZhu revealed his Silver Moon Battle Armor and fought Qian Chaoguang with all his strength, dying after their blades crossed.

• Huo Yutong took charge of Mingdu while the Undead Empire began absorbing Soul Engineers, academies, and territories into its new rule.
• The Undead Empire completed its conquest of Douluo Star, ending the Sun Moon Empire and establishing the continent's first unified dynasty as a future war with the God Realm approached.

After visiting Liu TieZhu’s grave, Qian Chaoguang recruited Ye Yulin by revealing how the Sun Moon Empire had unknowingly helped build the Undead Empire’s technology and promising him a chance to kill Jing Hongchen. He then went to Ju Zi’s residence to take responsibility for the last heir of the Xu Family, where Ju Zi asked him to decide the fate of her son after she died.

• Qian Chaoguang buried Liu TieZhu with his bonded Soul Tool and sealed the grave to protect it and preserve the possibility of resurrection.
• Qian Chaoguang showed Ye Yulin the Sun Moon Divine Needle and the sword from the black market tournament, revealing that he had been Qian Daoliu and had deceived Ye Yulin and the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Qian Chaoguang falsely told Ye Yulin that Jing Hongchen had betrayed the Sun Moon Empire during the Mingde Hall raid, then hired Ye Yulin under a contract that promised him a chance to kill Jing Hongchen after twenty years of service.
• Qian Chaoguang sent Ye Yulin to the Eternal Hall and went to Ju Zi’s residence to oversee the safety of the last Xu Family heir.
• Ju Zi introduced her son Xu Bing and told Qian Chaoguang that after she died, he could kill, raise, or imprison the boy as he wished.

Qian Chaoguang discovered that Ju Zi had died and become a blood soul trying to strangle Xu Bing, so he erased her soul and took the boy away. He left Xu Bing in his care and then arrived at the Eternal Temple, where he asked the Holy Word Ancestor to help raise him.

• Ju Zi revealed her hatred for Kong Deming and Zhong Liwu, then died in front of Qian Chaoguang.
• Ju Zi’s blood soul tried to kill Xu Bing, but Qian Chaoguang protected the boy and erased Ju Zi’s soul and Soul Mark.
• Qian Chaoguang comforted Xu Bing, learned he had been taught to fear him, and agreed to take him away with his Recording Crystal Stand.
• Xu Bing asked Qian Chaoguang to bury Ju Zi, and Qian Chaoguang agreed before teleporting away with him.
• Silver Skeletons buried Ju Zi beneath the floor tiles without leaving a gravestone.
• At the Eternal Temple, Qian Chaoguang asked the Holy Word Ancestor to help him raise Xu Bing.

The Holy Word Monarch reluctantly agreed to raise Xu Bing, while Qian Chaoguang studied Liu TieZhu’s final gift and created the eighth form of his Blade Art, Karma. After discovering that continent-wide good fortune remained unexplained, Qian Chaoguang decided to investigate, as Tang Hao lay near death at the entrance to Douluo Star’s Central Control Room.

• Qian Chaoguang persuaded the Holy Word Monarch to take Xu Bing as her student, and she began teaching the frightened boy courage.
• Qian Chaoguang reread Liu TieZhu’s notebook and entered an enlightenment that lasted three months.
• Qian Chaoguang created the eighth form of his Blade Art, Karma, which could sever karmic threads and erase their targets from memory, but he discovered that using it on living beings consumed the Dragon of National Fortune’s Purple Qi.
• Dragon One reported that investigators had found no cause for the continent-wide increase in good fortune, so Qian Chaoguang decided to visit Shrek City and consult Mu En.
• At the entrance to Douluo Star’s Central Control Room, Tang Hao remained imprisoned in a dimming sphere and appeared close to death.

After the Central Mainframe released Tang Hao from his ten-thousand-year confinement, he emerged in the Mingdou Mountain Range and learned that the continent had changed beyond recognition. He discovered that the Undead Empire ruled Douluo Continent and that nobody worshipped his son, Sea God Tang San.

• The Central Mainframe detached its tubes, erased its mental suggestions, and released Tang Hao with much of his modified strength intact before transporting him to the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Tang Hao recovered in the mountains, then approached Shrek Academy students Tangtang and Blueberry to ask where he was.
• Tangtang and Blueberry explained that the Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon Empire had fallen and that the Undead Empire now ruled the continent, with more than twenty Limit Douluo.
• Blueberry described the Eternal God Cult and its many gods, while Tang Hao wondered why nobody worshipped the Sea God.
• Blueberry confirmed that Douluo Continent had no Sea God worshippers, and Tangtang questioned whether Tang Hao had lived in a Hidden Sect.

Blueberry confronted Tang Hao with the Undead Empire’s account of Spirit Hall and argued that Tang San’s defeat of it had worsened life for commoners. Tang Hao could find no answer to her accusations, while Qian Chaoguang watched from afar and prepared to protect the two women.

• Tangtang warned Tang Hao that praising Tang San in public would anger people, and Blueberry challenged his claim that the Sea God had given them their good lives.
• Blueberry described how poor families struggled to afford Martial Soul awakenings, schooling, and Soul Rings, and argued that Spirit Hall had provided commoners with subsidies, education, and opportunities.
• Tang Hao accused Spirit Hall of killing Tang San’s lover and mother, but Blueberry pointed out that Qian Xunjí killed Tang San’s mother and Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunjí.
• Blueberry argued that Tang San’s destruction of the City of Slaughter allowed criminals to spread, and cited its small number of successful Gods of Slaughter.
• Qian Chaoguang recognized Tang Hao and reassured Blueberry and Tangtang that he could protect them, while Tang Hao hid his anger and listened to her accusations.

Blueberry and Tangtang confronted Tang Hao during a continent-wide livestream, presenting historical records that accused Tang San of stealing another world’s techniques, withholding the Tang Sect’s inheritance, and enabling mass slaughter. Tang Hao tried to defend his son, but the evidence and accusations left him furious and finally unable to keep his composure.

• Blueberry described how Spirit Hall’s City of Slaughter and Judgment Army had contained criminals and Evil Soul Masters, then blamed Tang San for destroying the prison and its safeguards.
• Blueberry and Tangtang questioned how Tang San could have mastered the Tang Sect’s ultimate arts and invented hidden weapons as a young child, and argued that the strange weapon names pointed to knowledge from another world.
• Tangtang recounted how Beibei uncovered evidence that Tang San had withheld crucial parts of the Tang Sect inheritance, and how Beibei exposed Tang San’s past to the world.
• Blueberry cited records of Tang San ordering Dugu Bo to poison a city and of widespread slaughter by Evil Soul Masters, contrasting those atrocities with Qian Chaoguang’s later campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Tang Hao challenged the sources and tried to defend Tang San, but Blueberry continued dismantling his arguments with evidence about the hidden weapons’ unfamiliar names and the gaps in Tang San’s life story.
• Tang Hao’s anger and defenses finally crumbled as the onlookers laughed at his defeat during the livestream.

Blueberry and Tangtang provoked Tang Hao into attacking them, but Qian Chaoguang secretly teleported them away. Tang Hao then visited the Clear Sky Sect, where Da Ming and Er Ming deceived him about the Undead Empire and Tang San before he left for Shrek City to find Ah Yin.

• Blueberry questioned whether Tang San had truly invented the Tang Sect arts, and Tang Hao furiously attacked her and Tangtang with his Clear Sky Hammer, unaware that Qian Chaoguang had teleported them to safety.
• Tang Hao arrived at the Clear Sky Sect and demanded that its leaders kneel, but Da Ming and Er Ming confronted him and reminded him that they had helped Tang San ascend and guarded the sect for millennia.
• After Tang Hao apologized, Da Ming and Er Ming told him the Clear Sky Sect still existed under a new name and pretended to know nothing about the Undead Empire.
• Da Ming falsely told Tang Hao that Tang San had entered seclusion to become the King of the God Realm, convincing him that his son was safe.
• Tang Hao left for Shrek City to find Ah Yin, while Da Ming and Er Ming resumed watching Qian Chaoguang's livestream.

Tang Hao discovered that Ah Yin was gone and attacked Shrek City, while Elder Mu exposed the truth about Tang San and the Golden Ancient Tree and expelled Tang San and Xiao Wu from Shrek Academy. Golden Crocodile Douluo ambushed and badly beat Tang Hao, who recognized him and demanded to know how he had survived.

• Er Ming learned that Qian Chaoguang had not severed Tang San and Tang Hao’s connection, but had used information from the gods to make Tang Hao believe Tang San was in seclusion.
• Tang Hao arrived in Shrek City, sensed that Ah Yin’s soul was gone, and attacked the city’s shield, which the Golden Ancient Tree sustained.
• Elder Mu claimed that Ah Yin had been sacrificed, revealed Tang San and his father’s scheme involving Shrek’s ancestors, destroyed the statues of Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, and Tang San, and expelled Tang San and Xiao Wu from Shrek Academy.
• Tang San remained unaware that Douluo Star’s fate had dispersed from him while he refined the Gold and Silver Dragon King bloodlines in the divine hall.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked Tang Hao, broke his Divine Slaughter’s Domain, damaged the Clear Sky Hammer, and beat him until he spat blood and retreated.
• Tang Hao recognized Golden Crocodile Douluo and, shaken, demanded to know how he had survived his apparent self-destruction at Jialing Pass and reached god level.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo trapped and overwhelmed Tang Hao, whose confidence collapsed when Bibi Dong appeared alive. Bibi Dong confronted him and declared that she had lost interest in fighting him, leaving Tang Hao furious and terrified.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed that he had returned from the Underworld, while Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo appeared behind Tang Hao and attacked him.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo slowed Tang Hao as Ghost Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo struck together, badly wounding Tang Hao while Golden Crocodile Douluo emerged unharmed.
• Tang Hao tried to flee, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo used the Two Poles Stillness Domain to freeze him in place as Golden Crocodile Douluo taunted him.
• Bibi Dong appeared before Tang Hao, and the three resurrected Douluos formed a triangle around him to block his escape.
• Tang Hao cried out that Tang San had killed Bibi Dong, but she called herself a vengeful ghost and mocked Tang Hao's reliance on his wife and son.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed at Tang Hao's furious defense of his victory over Qian Xunjí.

Bibi Dong and the others killed Tang Hao, while Qian Chaoguang erased his Soul Mark and concealed the battle from the God Realm. In seclusion, Tang San completed his Dragon God Blood refinement, learned of his father’s death, and emerged consumed by grief and a growing, unexplained madness.

• Bibi Dong rejected Tang Hao’s accusations, and Tang Hao attacked her with the Great Sumeru Hammer in an attempt to escape.
• Bibi Dong vanished, beheaded Tang Hao, and left Ghost Douluo to crush his divine soul into Soul Crystals while Chrysanthemum Douluo recovered his body.
• Qian Chaoguang ended the livestream and shattered Tang Hao’s Soul Mark, erasing him completely from the universe.
• Tang San completed his Dragon God Blood refinement, then learned through his broken Divine Sense seed that Tang Hao had died.
• Tang San lost control in the Sea God Palace, recovered by suppressing his violent killing intent, and began suspecting that an unknown force was targeting Douluo Star.

Tang San told the God Realm Committee that his father, Tang Hao, had died on Douluo Star and claimed the death might signal a plot against the God Realm’s control of lower realms. The God Kings debated possible culprits, while Tang San secretly planned to use the investigation to distract the God of Destruction as he pursued the Golden Dragon King’s power.

• Tang San convened a God Realm Committee meeting and announced that Tang Hao had died, prompting Lie Yan and the God of Destruction to laugh at his grave delivery.
• Tang San explained that Tang Hao had become Douluo Star’s Plane Master and claimed someone had killed him to weaken the God Realm’s authority; Lie Yan provoked Tang San until he transformed into Asura and attacked her.
• The God of Destruction and Ji Dong restrained Tang San, while Lie Yan punched him before the Goddess of Life calmed the meeting.
• Tang San revealed that he had lost absolute control over Douluo Star’s oceans and that the Goddess of Light’s command over light laws had also been crippled, persuading the God Kings that the threat deserved investigation.
• The God Kings considered whether the Silver Dragon King could have killed Tang Hao, but Ji Dong and the Goddess of Life argued that it would never destroy Douluo Star, its ancestral home.

Goddess of Life briefed the God Kings on how Qian Chaoguang’s Undead Empire had unified Douluo Star and developed its new continents, while God of Greed enthusiastically praised Qian Chaoguang. Tang San proposed sending Phoenix Douluo to the lower realm, but Lie Yan vetoed the nomination and Goddess of Life abstained.

• Goddess of Life showed the God Kings that the Undead Empire had unified Douluo Continent in less than a year and reconciled humans and soul beasts.
• Goddess of Life revealed that the Undead Empire was also teaching and governing the people of two newly civilized continents.
• God of Destruction explained that God of Greed deeply admired Qian Chaoguang, and God of Greed arrived and praised Qian Chaoguang’s talents and prospects.
• Tang San recognized Qian Chaoguang as Shrek Academy’s leader and privately planned to use the Undead Empire to search for his daughter and the Auspicious Beast.
• Tang San nominated Phoenix Douluo to investigate the lower realm, but Lie Yan vetoed the choice and Goddess of Life abstained.

The God Realm approved sending Ma Hongjun, three Rank 3 Gods, and ten God Realm Hunters to Douluo Star to investigate Tang Hao’s death, while Qian Chaoguang emerged from seclusion vastly stronger. At the Undead Empire’s research site, he learned that its researchers were building a flying Mage Tower fortress, though its power furnace and city-level shield remained unfinished.

• The God of Destruction agreed to send the Phoenix God with three Rank 3 Gods and ten God Realm Hunters, and the committee spent a day and night finalizing the mission.
• The Goddess of Life asked Tang San about Xiao Qi, and Tang San concealed that he had not contacted her before leaving for his palace.
• Qian Chaoguang ended his year-long seclusion, learned from Rong Nianbing that Ma Hongjun’s team was coming, and traveled with Dragon One to the Research Department.
• Electrolux and Xuan Ziwen revealed that the researchers were building a mobile flying Mage Tower fortress from more than a hundred towers joined inside a massive alloy construct.
• Huo Yutong explained that the fortress’s armor and main systems were built, but it still needed a city-level shield and a Spatial Power Furnace before it could travel through space.
• Qian Chaoguang said he could not yet withstand the void’s erosion and estimated that reaching the fifth realm might let him kill the peak Dragon God with one slash.

Qian Chaoguang explained the limits of resisting void corrosion and prepared to receive gods from the God Realm. Ma Hongjun descended with twelve others, subdued a defiant god, and was escorted through Shrek City to meet Qian Chaoguang in the Golden Ancient Tree.

• Qian Chaoguang explained that surviving the void required a complete cycle of laws and warned that a Divine Kingdom could still collapse without enough faith to sustain it.
• Ma Hongjun led twelve gods through a spatial passage to the Douluo Continent, where their arrival caused a tremor near Shrek City.
• Ma Hongjun choked the Shadow God for demanding that mortals welcome the gods, then warned the group not to act arrogantly in the Undead Empire.
• Dai Luoli, Ji Juechen, and Ye Guyi met Ma Hongjun, staged a cautious identity check, and escorted the gods through Shrek City to Shrek Academy.
• Dai Luoli led Ma Hongjun into the Golden Ancient Tree, where Qian Chaoguang had been waiting to meet him.

Ma Hongjun reunited with Bai Chenxiang after ten thousand years, then swore himself to Qian Chaoguang and became the Undead God System’s Sixth Saint, the God of Vengeance. At a banquet welcoming the descended deities, Qian Chaoguang began setting up a deception to gain the God Realm’s trust while pursuing his own plans.

• Qian Chaoguang opened a Gate of Heaven, and Ma Hongjun reunited with Bai Chenxiang in an emotional embrace.
