Dai Mubai studied Lin Xiao’s enormous wealth as the Star Luo Auction began, drawing representatives from the continent’s major factions who hoped to acquire Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. Lin Xiao ignored the early lots and had Dai Mubai buy an eight-million-gold-soul-coin metal item, then waited for the second phase.

• Lin Xiao gave Dai Yueqing his card to pay for and arrange delivery of the bamboo segment, then left.

Lin Xiao used the auction’s commotion to draw out fifteen Sealed God Soul Beasts planning to rob him, then revealed three Limit Soul Beasts under his command. After his allies slaughtered the attackers, Enci fled with Dai Tianling and Dai Yun'er, leaving Lin Xiao’s dealings with the Star Luo Empire unresolved.

• Lin Xiao opened his Extraordinary Breeding Contract Space and summoned Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the Ten Thousand Demon King.

• Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King captured and killed the attackers while Di Tian remained beside Lin Xiao.
• Enci, Dai Tianling, and Dai Yun'er arrived and witnessed Lin Xiao’s three powerful attendants.

Lin Chen parted ways with Dai Yun'er after their outing and later discovered she was assigned as his attendant at the Star Luo Royal Auction House. The chapter ended with Dai Yun'er serving him in her royal auction-house role as he waited for the auction to begin.

• Lin Chen thanked Dai Yun'er for the outing, and she watched him enter the Star Luo Royal Grand Hotel.

• An envoy escorted Lin Chen to VIP private room number three, where Dai Yun'er arrived as his assigned attendant.
• Lin Chen and Dai Yun'er recognized their unexpected reunion, and he asked her to notify him when the auction began.

Lin Chen spent hundreds of millions of Federation credits sweeping up the auction’s top-tier lots, while factions wondered who he was and why he was so wealthy. The auction then introduced its grand finale, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo joints.

• Sun Rou opened the top-tier auction with the Nebula Storage Soul Tool, and Lin Chen won it for three hundred million Federation credits after raising the bid by one hundred million.
• Lin Chen ignored the Heart of Thunder mecha core, which another faction bought for two hundred million, and recognized that the Holy Spirit Cult had come for its half-Heavenforged Metal.
• Lin Chen won the Deep-Sea Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Saliva Incense for one hundred fifty million Federation credits.
• Lin Chen bought the remaining top-tier lots, including immortal herbs, spirit fruits, and pieces of battle armor, drawing suspicion and concern from the other factions and Dai Yun'er.
• The host announced the Black Jade Divine Bamboo joints as the auction’s grand finale and presented them in a crystal jade box.

After buying the Black Jade Divine Bamboo at auction, Lin Chen planned to cultivate it into a forest of immortal-herb bamboo and flew away from Star Luo Imperial City. A group of fifteen Titled Douluo ambushed him in the mountains to seize his treasures, including the bamboo, and he suspected the purple-armored leader was from Shrek.

• Dai Yun'er warned Lin Chen that people would hunt him after his enormous auction purchases, but he dismissed her concern and collected his items.
• Lin Chen showed the Black Jade Divine Bamboo segment to the Myriad Demon King, who confirmed it could grow and advised that strengthening its wood attribute would improve all its qualities.
• Lin Chen told the Myriad Demon King to evolve the bamboo’s wood attribute so he could cultivate a forest of immortal-herb bamboo.
• Despite Dai Yun'er’s warning, Lin Chen left Star Luo Imperial City alone and flew toward a distant mountain range, telling Di Tian he had prepared a surprise for him.
• Fifteen Titled Douluo in battle armor surrounded Lin Chen and argued over how to divide his treasures, with the purple-armored leader demanding the Black Jade Divine Bamboo.
• Lin Chen recognized that the purple-armored Titled Douluo was likely from Shrek and concluded that Shrek had resorted to joining the ambush for the bamboo.

Lin Chen collected the fallen Titled Douluo and brought Di Tian to the hidden Dragon Valley, which he had located by searching for spatial disturbances. Di Tian realized the Dragon God's resting place might be within reach, but Lin Chen revealed he had also prepared the key needed to enter it.

• Lin Chen stored the fifteen Titled Douluo corpses and their storage Soul Tools, including the half-finished Heavenforged Metal.
• Lin Chen flew to a mountain range in the Star Luo Continent where spatial fluctuations were unusually chaotic.
• Di Tian recognized the location as Dragon Valley, the Dragon Clan's secret graveyard, and asked how Lin Chen had found it.
• Lin Chen explained that he had learned about Dragon Valley from Na'er's memories and used his company's search network to pinpoint the area.
• Di Tian warned that only Golden Dragon King or Silver Dragon King blood could open the gate, but Lin Chen said he had prepared the key.

Lin Chen used the fused bloodlines of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings to open Dragon Valley, then led Di Tian, Bear Lord, and Myriad Demon King through its dangerous regions. They reached the core, where Di Tian found the remains of seven Dragon Kings but wondered why the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were absent.

• Di Tian, Bear Lord, and Myriad Demon King failed to open Dragon Valley’s entrance, so Lin Chen used blood stored in Super Blue Silver Grass plants near Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to summon the Golden and Silver Dragon King bloodlines.
• The fused bloodlines briefly released the Dragon God’s aura, revealing Dragon Valley’s gate, which Di Tian, Bear Lord, and Myriad Demon King opened together.
• Lin Chen and the three others entered Dragon Valley, where he ordered Di Tian to scout ahead and Bear Lord and Myriad Demon King to guard the group.
• The four traveled through the outer region, Dragon Ridge, and dragon-head region, overcoming increasingly powerful dragon souls as they advanced toward the core.
• After several days, they reached the Tomb Within Bones, where seven Dragon King skeletons surrounded a sea of nine-colored dragon energy, and Di Tian knelt before them and asked why the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were missing.

Lin Chen urged Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts to refine Dragon Valley's remains and treasures, but Di Tian condemned the idea as desecration of his ancestors. Lin Chen challenged Di Tian's understanding of the Dragon Clan's fall and began suggesting that the accepted account concealed a deeper cause.

• Di Tian grieved over the Seven Great Dragon Kings' remains and questioned why the Water and Fire Dragon Kings were absent from Dragon Valley.
• Lin Chen explained that some Dragon Clan remains might have been lost or found another resting place, then urged the Soul Beasts to absorb Dragon Valley's legacy.
• Lin Chen told Myriad Demon King and Bear Lord to refine Dragon Kings' remains matching their attributes, prompting Di Tian to erupt in anger.
• Di Tian declared the remains sacred relics and accused Lin Chen of ordering the desecration of his ancestors.
• Lin Chen challenged Di Tian to consider why the Dragon Clan had fallen and questioned whether the Dragon God's defeat by Asura God's sword had truly been an accident.

Lin Chen persuaded Di Tian that the God Realm had conspired to destroy the Dragon Clan, then claimed the dying will of Douluo Continent stood behind him. He revealed that Tang San had nearly killed the plane’s will, leaving Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts stunned.

• Lin Chen accused the God Realm of plotting against the Dragon God and destroying the Dragon Clan for its own gain.
• Di Tian reconsidered the Dragon Clan’s destruction and asked Lin Chen whether the conspiracy was true and how he knew about it.
• Lin Chen claimed his Transcendent Reproduction ability came from a powerful force behind him.
• Lin Chen revealed that Douluo Continent’s plane will was behind him, shocking Di Tian, Bear Lord, and the Myriad Demon King.
• Lin Chen said the plane will was close to death and that Tang San had nearly killed it after ascending to the God Realm twenty thousand years earlier.

Lin Chen revealed to Di Tian that Tang San and the Tang Family had seized control of the Douluo Continent and manipulated the Soul Beast clan for generations. Di Tian was left overwhelmed by despair and fury, realizing his lifelong efforts had unfolded within a deception.

• Lin Chen told Di Tian that Tang Hao had replaced the Douluo Continent’s plane consciousness and that Ah Yin controlled its life essence for the Tang Family.
• Lin Chen explained that the God Realm had blocked Soul Beasts from becoming gods and that Tang San had interfered in their decline and Huo Yuhao’s rise.
• Di Tian realized Lin Chen had arranged an independent small world to hide their plans from Tang Hao’s surveillance.
• Lin Chen said Tang Hao’s control of the plane made him overwhelmingly powerful on the Douluo Continent, even though he and Ah Yin had given up their divine positions.
• Di Tian accepted Lin Chen’s claims, then howled with centuries of pent-up grievance and hatred as he recognized the God Realm had long controlled his clan’s fate.

After Di Tian’s rage awakened the dragon souls in Dragon Valley, Lin Chen used their shared hatred and a display of ancient dragon descendants to persuade them to lend him their power. He began his plan to seize control of Dragon Valley in a single day.

• Di Tian transformed into his enormous black dragon form and roared through the sky, stirring the dormant dragon souls throughout Dragon Valley.
• Lin Chen linked his spiritual power with Myriad Demon King’s and claimed he would avenge the Dragon Clan and destroy the God Realm, Tang San, Tang Hao, and Dai Yuhao.
• Lin Chen admitted he was acting for the Douluo Continent’s plane will and asked the dragon souls to grant him Dragon Valley’s power.
• Lin Chen released more than a hundred dragon beasts from his storage Soul Tool and presented them as descendants of the Dragon Clan’s purest bloodline.
• The dragon beasts’ appearance prompted even more impassioned roars from across Dragon Valley.

The dragon souls in Dragon Valley chose Lin Chen over Di Tian and poured their remaining power and faith into him, triggering a transformation of his Azure Snake martial soul. As Di Tian and the others guarded him, the snake evolved into a flood dragon and then began transforming into a powerful, unfamiliar kind of dragon.

• The dragon souls sent their power and faith into Lin Chen, forming a golden cocoon around him.
• Lin Chen's Azure Snake martial soul appeared and devoured the dragon energy, while Di Tian stood guard and Bear Lord and the Myriad Demon King watched from a distance.
• The Azure Snake grew larger, developed horns and dragon scales, and transformed into a flood dragon.
• The flood dragon continued evolving, growing to one hundred meters long and developing Azure Dragon horns, claws, and whiskers.
• Di Tian watched in disbelief as Lin Chen's martial soul kept transforming into a dragon unlike any he had seen.

Lin Chen completed his transformation in Dragon Valley, gaining the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King’s wings and the bloodlines of the Dragon Kings. He broke through to the Soul Elder realm, while Di Tian sensed that Lin Chen’s bloodline now surpassed his own.

• Lin Chen’s Azure Snake martial soul transformed into an azure-green Azure Dragon, becoming a martial soul nearly at god-grade.
• The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King awakened and bestowed dark energy and a pair of External Soul Bones on Lin Chen.
• The Golden and Silver Dragon King bloodlines fused with Lin Chen as three pairs of black dragon wings emerged from his back.
• Lin Chen reached Rank 30 and formed a seven-colored Dragon Soul Ring, advancing from Soul Grandmaster to Soul Elder.
• Di Tian felt superior bloodline suppression from Lin Chen, who sensed his new powers and reconsidered his dislike of being transformed.

Lin Chen gained a divine dragon bloodline, Black Dragon Wings, and control of Dragon Valley through the Dragon Soul Ring. He chose to bury the Dragon Clan’s remains rather than claim them, then collapsed from the effort as Di Tian caught him.

• Lin Chen awakened with a fusion of Golden, Silver, and Black Dragon King bloodlines, Black Dragon Wings, and a Dragon Soul Ring that gave him control of Dragon Valley.
• Lin Chen decided to bury the dragon bones instead of taking them, despite the strength and treasures he would forgo.
• Lin Chen used the Dragon Soul Ring, his Soul Power, and his blood to make graves for the scattered dragon remains throughout Dragon Valley.
• Lin Chen buried every dragon bone, sealed the graves, and raised dragon tombstones before collapsing from the strain.
• Di Tian caught the unconscious Lin Chen and felt ashamed that an outsider had shown the Dragon Clan such respect.

Lin Chen laid the Dragon Clan’s lingering souls to rest and received four Dragon King soul bones as gifts. Before departing, the Dragon Kings warned him not to absorb another soul bone and forbade him from touching a dangerous resource in Dragon Valley.

• The lingering dragon souls thanked Lin Chen and dissipated, prompting six Dragon King souls to appear in Dragon Valley.
• Four Dragon King soul bones floated before Lin Chen: those of the Mountain, Wind, Golden Sacred, and Light Holy Dragon Kings.
• The Mountain Dragon King warned Lin Chen that absorbing another soul bone would overwhelm his body and kill him.
• Lin Chen thanked the Dragon Kings and accepted their recognition as the hope of both Douluo Continent and the Dragon Clan, leaving Di Tian frustrated.
• The Dragon Kings granted Lin Chen control over Dragon Valley’s resources but warned him never to touch a certain thing.

After the Six Great Dragon Kings vanished, Lin Chen assessed the Dragon Valley soul bones and gave the Mountain Dragon King torso bone to Bear Lord, intending to purify his bloodline into a Golden Behemoth. The chapter left Lin Chen planning to strengthen his contracted beasts and their descendants rather than let them all evolve into dragons.

• Lin Chen promised the Six Great Dragon Kings he would protect Dragon Valley and leave the Dragon God's Heart alone, and the Dragon Kings entrusted the Dragon Clan's future to him.
• The Six Great Dragon Kings spoke with Di Tian before their lingering souls faded, leaving him grieving and apologizing for his failures.
• Lin Chen joked about Di Tian's nickname, then considered how to use the soul bones since humans could not absorb them.
• Lin Chen gave Bear Lord the Mountain Dragon King torso bone and instructed him to absorb its power to awaken and purify his Golden Behemoth bloodline rather than evolve into a dragon.
