Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao discovered that a mass spiritual attack had trapped people in Seven Treasures City in irresistible dreams, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin reported the same crisis across more than ten Alliance cities. Tang San ordered emergency measures as Xiao Xiaoxiao sought a way to counter the Mental Threads without destroying the victims’ minds, but the attack continued to spread.

• Li Shan reported that more than three hundred people in Seven Treasures City had lost consciousness, and Xiao Xiaoxiao identified Mental Threads that lured victims into dreams and drained their Soul Origin.

Tang San split the response between containing the plague and pursuing Shadow Eater, while Xiao Xiaoxiao entered a victim’s dream to find the curse’s anchor point; both she and Tang San’s group faced Shadow Eater’s attack at the chapter’s end.

• Li Shan reported that more people in the quarantine zone had fallen asleep as their Mental Threads thickened and merged, so Tang San ordered the zone expanded and its guards reinforced.

Meanwhile, Tang San and the others failed to capture Shadow Eater, who used stolen ore to disrupt Tang San’s divine technique before escaping; both groups returned to Seven Treasures City with clues to a wider conspiracy.

• Tang San stopped the others from pursuing Shadow Eater and led them back toward Seven Treasures City to compare their findings with Xiao Xiaoxiao’s discovery.

Xiao Xiaoxiao’s captured strand of star power revealed that the Star Gazing Hall, an enemy faction responsible for her parents’ deaths, was working with the Rakshasa God’s curse to harvest souls through the Illusionary Dream Plague. A clue left by Shadow Eater pointed toward Starfall Canyon in the Extreme North, and Tang San ordered the alliance to prepare for a dangerous expedition there.

• Xiao Xiaoxiao explained that the sinister star power amplified the Rakshasa God’s curse and let it target people and harvest their souls.
• Elder Xing Hen identified the power as the Star Gazing Hall’s forbidden art and revealed that the faction had helped cause the clan conflict that killed Xiao Xiaoxiao’s parents.
• Elder Xing Hen and Master Yu Xiaogang interpreted Shadow Eater’s recording as pointing toward the Star Gazing Hall’s stronghold near Starfall Canyon and warning that Rakshasa could reappear.

• Tang San gathered his companions and announced that they would go to the Extreme North to confront the Star Gazing Hall and the threat of Rakshasa’s return.

Tang San and his allies found Starfall Canyon, where a ruined tower and its star-powered barrier were spreading the Illusionary Dream Plague. As they fought to break through, Xiao Xiaoxiao confronted the source of her clan’s blood debt and vowed to collect it.

• Tang San's group reached the hidden Starfall Canyon and discovered the ruined spire beneath a spatial screen.
• The tower's eyeball-like crystal awakened, declared the intruders must die, and attacked them with Dark Silver Light Spears.
• Tang San and his allies fought the barrier's defenses while Master's warning led them to target the tower as its likely core.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao sensed a twisted power sharing her Star Brilliance origin and vowed to make Star Gazing Hall pay for its blood debt.

They discovered an underground entrance and learned that imprisoned Star Brilliance Tribe Members were below, leaving the group poised to confront the Star Gazing Hall's final threat.

• Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Mu Chen, Xiao Wu, Bai Heyu, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar held off the Light Spears while the barrier grew stronger.

• Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao found an underground entrance and sensed imprisoned Star Brilliance Tribe Members below.
• Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao entered the passage with their companions to face the Star Gazing Hall's final threat.

Tang San and his companions fought through waves of Star Remnant Puppets in the Star Tower and uncovered a ritual draining the Star Brilliance Tribe to restore the Rakshasa God. They faced the Star Priest, Shadow Eater, and the Rakshasa God's Will at the ritual chamber as Tang San called the group to fight.

• Tang San led the group through the Star Tower, where Xiao Xiaoxiao sensed that the tribe members' power was being drained for a ritual.
• Dozens of Star Remnant Puppets attacked, and Elder Xing Hen revealed that the Star Gazing Hall had turned tribe members' souls into battle puppets.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao identified the puppets' Star Cores between their brows, allowing the group to target and destroy them as they fought through the passage.
• Tang San and his companions reached an ancient stone door and confronted the Star Priest, Shadow Eater, and the Rakshasa God's Will.
• The door opened to reveal a vortex draining hundreds of Star Brilliance Tribe Members, including Xiao Xiaoxiao's parents, while the stolen City of Slaughter ore floated at its center.
• Tang San confronted the Star Priest and declared that the group would fight to stop the ritual and rescue the captives.

Tang San and his companions broke the Star Priest’s control of the Star Tower Formation, but the Rakshasa God’s Will fused with the chaos ore and began to manifest. Under the resulting divine pressure, Tang San’s Sea God and Asura powers resonated through Chaos Origin, and he advanced toward true godhood to prove his path as one of the Chaos Twin Gods.

• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing transformed into the Hell White Tiger and held back the Star Priest’s galaxy vortex while Ning Rongrong and Oscar supported them.
• Mu Chen used holy light to restrain the Rakshasa resentment, while Shadow Eater silently absorbed the attacks from Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Bai Heyu.
• Tang San weakened the Star Priest’s star-arrow assault with Blue Silver Domain, and Xiao Xiaoxiao found a flaw in the Star Scepter’s gemstone.
• Tang San used Unfixed Waves—Chaos Transformation to halt the formation, allowing Xiao Xiaoxiao to crack the gemstone and sever the Star Priest’s connection to it.
• The Rakshasa God’s Will escaped into the soul vortex and fused with the chaos ore and Power of Stars, beginning to form a Rakshasa phantom.
• Tang San’s Sea God and Asura powers resonated and began to fuse through Chaos Origin as he declared his intent to prove his path as one of the Chaos Twin Gods.

Tang San destroyed the Rakshasa phantom and defeated the Star Priest, freeing the Star Brilliance Tribe Members and leading them out as the Star Tower collapsed. The survivors prepared to rebuild, while Tang San's Path of Chaos took a crucial step and new threats remained ahead.

• Tang San used Chaos Power, Returning Ruins to erase the Rakshasa phantom and absorb its power, ending the god-level threat.
• Tang San killed the Star Priest, while Shadow Eater recognized the Path of Chaos and then slipped away.

• Tang San warned everyone to leave as the formation collapsed, and the Star Tower sank beneath the ice and snow after they escaped.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao accepted responsibility for leading her people, and Tang San and his companions prepared to continue their journey south toward the alliance.

After stabilizing the Star Brilliance Tribe, Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao discovered the Guardian Star Tablet beneath Starfall Canyon. Touching a hidden stone behind it gave Tang San a vision of ancient Chaos Origin and revealed a clue pointing toward more fragments and secrets about the world's origins.

• Xiao Xiaoxiao healed the surviving tribesmen and told Tang San that their origins were depleted and the clan had lost its sacred land.
• A young tribesman reported a buried passage with an ancient star response, so Tang San, Xiao Xiaoxiao, and their companions investigated it.
• The group found the Guardian Star Tablet, and Elder Xing Hen identified it as the ancestral stone that the traitors of Star Gazing Hall had failed to defile.
• Tang San noticed a hidden directional mark, found a gray stone behind the tablet, and was pulled into a vision of Chaos Origin and a star track.
• Tang San identified the gray stone as a memory fragment and concluded that the Star Brilliance Clan's origins were linked to the world's foundational origin.

Tang San awakened the Guardian Star Tablet and discovered a Star Track Map that indicated the locations of scattered memory fragments. As he and the others prepared to investigate, two hostile Peerless Douluo arrived demanding the map and Chaos Fragment, and Tang San stood ready to fight them.

• Tang San sensed that other memory fragments were scattered across the world and that gathering them could help him perfect the Path of Chaos.
• The Guardian Star Tablet awakened and revealed a World Star Track Map, which Tang San identified as marking their location and other points of interest.

• A red-haired Dragon Soul Master and a black-robed undead mage appeared, demanded the Star Track Map and Chaos Fragment, and threatened the group.
• Tang San confronted the intruders and challenged them to take the items by force.

Tang San and his allies fought off two powerful intruders in the Star Brilliance Ancestral Land by drawing on the Guardian Star Tablet’s stored Star Origin. The attackers escaped after identifying themselves as Tianshu Envoys, and Tang San resolved to pursue the fragments and confront their organization.

• Tang San met the red-haired Dragon Soul Master’s attack head-on while the necromancer unleashed his Death Blight Domain, weakening the Star Brilliance Tribe Members and trapping the Hell White Tiger in soul chains.
• Mu Chen, Xiao Xiaoxiao, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Bai Heyu defended their allies and challenged the intruders, but the death domain and Dragon Might began to overwhelm them.
• Tang San used Sea God Purification to weaken the chains binding the Hell White Tiger, then infused the Guardian Star Tablet with Chaos Qi and awakened its stored Star Origin.
• The torrent of stars suppressed the enemies’ powers and strengthened Tang San’s allies, allowing him to strike with a trident formed from the Sea God’s power, starlight, and chaos.
• The red-haired Dragon Soul Master used a Space Item to escape with the necromancer, vowing that the Tianshu Envoys would claim the Star Track Map and Chaos Stone.
• Tang San and his companions learned that their enemies sought the Star Track Map and Chaos Fragments, and Tang San resolved to collect the scattered fragments and confront the Dubhe Organization.

After condensing the Chaos Core, Tang San decided to move the Star Brilliance Clan to Heaven Dou City before Tianshu could strike again. An emergency report revealed that several factions were converging on the Crimson Flame Desert, so Tang San and his companions set out there while the alliance handled the clan’s relocation.

• Tang San studied the Chaos Core within his dantian and realized that the Sea God and Asura powers formed foundations of the Path of Chaos.
• Tang San proposed that Elder Xing Hen and the Star Brilliance Clan relocate to Heaven Dou City, and the elders agreed.
• A Speed Clan Soul Master reported scattered traces of Soul Power resembling the Tianshu Envoys, suggesting more hidden observers were nearby.

• Tang San assigned Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, and the alliance’s reception forces to move the Star Brilliance Clan, then led Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun toward the Crimson Flame Desert.

Tang San and his companions entered the Sea of Death in the Crimson Flame Desert, where they found the Holy Spirit Cult guarding a strange quicksand vortex. After rescuing a Star Luo Empire reconnaissance team, Tang San led the group toward the vortex, where the pull of his gray memory fragment originated.

• Tang San’s group reached the Sea of Death and advanced through its distorted, hazardous terrain.

• The Star Luo commander pointed out a massive quicksand vortex and warned that it was guarded by powerful spatial forces.
• Tang San recognized the vortex as the source of the pull from his gray memory fragment and ordered the group to investigate beneath it.

Tang San and his companions entered the underground Star Track Altar and found the Holy Spirit Cult corrupting the second memory fragment with death and resentment. The Nether Pope summoned nine Dragon Skeleton Guards and attacked, leaving Tang San to confront him as the others held off the enemy forces.

• Tang San, Xiao Xiaoxiao, and Mu Chen stabilized the collapsing Space Node, allowing the group to descend through the quicksand vortex.

• The Nether Pope revealed himself, declared the return of the Flame Emperor Star Core inevitable, and awakened nine Dragon Skeleton Guards.
• Tang San ordered his companions to defend against the dragon skeletons and cultists while he faced the Nether Pope.
• The Nether Pope unleashed a dense netherly aura over the altar, beginning the battle against Tang San.

Tang San resisted the Nether Pope’s Netherworld Domain by devouring its Death Law, then wounded the Pope and turned the battle in his allies’ favor. The Pope began a ritual to contaminate the Flame Emperor Star Core fragment and tried to exile Tang San, awakening an ancient power of chaos that ended with Tang San declaring death prohibited.

• The Nether Pope trapped Tang San and the nine Dragon Skeleton Guards in his Netherworld Domain, but Tang San combined his Sea God and Asura powers to crack it.
• Tang San changed tactics and used Chaos Qi to devour the Netherworld blades and death chains, then struck the Nether Pope and shattered his bone shield and pale scepter.
• With the domain weakened, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Bai Heyu, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing attacked the Dragon Skeleton Guards and brought one down.
• The wounded Nether Pope sacrificed his blood at the Star Track Altar, accelerating the ritual and contaminating the Flame Emperor Star Core fragment with Death Law.
• The Nether Pope used Netherworld Exile against Tang San, but Tang San’s Chaos Core awakened, and he declared that death was prohibited.

Tang San and his companions fought the Nether Pope’s forces at the altar, using Oscar’s star-enhanced sausages to recover their strength before Tang San destroyed the ritual’s scepter. They claimed the second Flame Emperor Star Core fragment, while the Dubhe Organization remained a looming threat.

• Tang San imposed a temporary Prohibition of Death rule that weakened the attackers and stopped fatal blows, but the Nether Pope urged his forces to exhaust him.
• Oscar discovered that Xiao Xiaoxiao’s Star Dragon Power enhanced his Recovery Big Sausages, helping the group replenish their Soul Power and continue fighting.
• With Xiao Xiaoxiao guiding his aim, Tang San shattered the altar’s scepter, causing the ritual energy to consume the Nether Pope and freeing the fragment from corruption.
• Tang San received the second Flame Emperor Star Core fragment, and the two fragments resonated to reveal the next fragment’s direction.

Tang San learned that the Star Rail fragments were tied to a world-threatening collapse and that the core fragment lay beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. A Star-Rail Resonance triggered attacks on multiple fronts, forcing him to split the alliance’s forces and lead a team toward the Moonlight Heaven Sect.

• Tang San saw memories revealing the Star Rail’s destruction, the danger of the scattered fragments, and the core fragment’s location in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The fragments and Xiao Xiaoxiao’s bloodline triggered a continent-wide Star-Rail Resonance that drew hidden powers toward the Crimson Flame Desert.
• A wounded Moonlight Heaven Sect disciple reported that the Dubhe Organization was attacking the sect, while Marshal Ge Long reported that the Holy Spirit Cult had seized Iron Rock City and sacrificed its inhabitants.
• Tang San ordered Ge Long and the alliance forces to reinforce Iron Rock City and defend Heaven Dou City, while he and four companions went to investigate the Moonlight Heaven Sect.
• Tang San, Mu Chen, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Bai Heyu left for the Moonlight Heaven Sect as the alliance divided its forces to confront the simultaneous attacks.
