Chapter Summaries

After living a lifetime as Li Aiguo, Jerry recovered his memories and began reincarnating with the Silver Dragon King, developing new cultivation paths together. They created the Summoner profession through an equal contract between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, and Spirit Hall spread the method as Tang San began stirring up trouble over access to powerful Soul Beast contracts.

• Li Aiguo died after Gu Yue and Li Luoshui’s final remarks made him believe he had been betrayed, then awakened thirty days later with his memories restored and confronted the Silver Dragon King.
• Jerry and the Silver Dragon King continued reincarnating together, researching arrays and other disciplines across the Soul Tool World and Pill World.
• During their three hundredth visit to the Soul Tool World, Jerry and the Silver Dragon King developed the Contract Formation and Summoning Formation, establishing the Summoner cultivation path.
• Jerry released the Summoner method in the Main World, and Spirit Hall offered Soul Ring removal while publishing guidance on contracts, Soul Beast cultivation, and evolution.
• Spirit Hall families gained an advantage by having feeders contract their Soul Beasts, including one branch-family disciple who removed seven Soul Rings and contracted seven powerful beasts.
• Tang San circulated papers claiming Spirit Hall was hiding a way to increase affinity with Soul Beasts and demanding that it reveal the method.

Jerry helped establish the Summoner, Soul Engineer, Alchemist, and Array Master professions, then gained the God Positions of Soul Tools, Medicine, and Formations in one day. Tang San grew furious and prepared to spread another rumor, while Jerry returned to a Small World to research the Summoner Godhood and hit a bottleneck.

• Spirit Hall announced that people could contract captive-bred Soul Beasts, and Tang San considered joining the Summoner profession while suspecting Spirit Hall was concealing powerful secrets.
• The World Consciousness offered Jerry the vacant Godhoods of the Summoner and Soul Engineers, and Jerry organized the requirements for establishing professional God Positions.
• Jerry created enough Ninth-Class Soul Tools to trigger the birth of the God of Soul Tools, prompting the Asura God to consider descending before the strengthened world barrier and its suppression made him reconsider.
• Jerry established the God Positions of Medicine and Formations by training Alchemists and Array Masters, while Tang San raged and planned to stir up public outrage with another rumor.
• The five God Kings recognized Jerry as the source of the lower realm's upheavals and gave up hope for their inheritors, while Jerry spent hundreds of years in a Small World researching the Summoner Godhood before reaching a bottleneck.

Jerry researched numerous kinds of contracts and uncovered the origins of Weapon Martial Souls and human Bloodline Inheritance. After creating his 999th contract, he became the inheritor of the God of Contracts and received the Book of Contracts, leaving the world with new authority to enforce sworn promises.

• Jerry developed Slave, Master-Servant, revised Equal, and Life and Death Contracts in his Small World.
• Jerry investigated Bloodline Inheritance and discovered that human Martial Souls were a form of inherited contract, while Weapon Martial Souls originated from Bloodline Contracts with weapons.
• Jerry concluded that Bloodline Contracts could transform Martial Souls or create Twin Martial Souls, but that using Soul Beasts this way could destroy or consume them.
• Jerry created many more contracts, and the 999th caused golden light to appear across Douluo Continent as he became the inheritor of the God of Contracts.
• The Book of Contracts merged into Jerry, and the World Consciousness explained that the God of Contracts could enforce recognized oaths and punish those who broke them.

Tang San and the others secretly seized the Extreme North and became gods, while Jerry gained the Godhood of the Summoner by contracting a thousand Soul Beasts. Back in Spirit City, Jerry used his accumulated Power of Faith to help Chrysanthemum Douluo attempt to break through, and a divine tribulation struck him.

• Tang San and the other five received altered Divine Trials, occupied the Extreme North in secret, and became gods without revealing themselves.
• Jerry staged a ten-lightning-tribulation spectacle in the Soul Beast World, signed Master-Servant Contracts with a thousand Soul Beasts, and became the God of Summoning.
• Jerry discovered that Power of Faith could improve people’s bodies and cultivation, then returned to Spirit City to examine his companions and Ghost Douluo.
• Jerry transferred Power of Faith to Chrysanthemum Douluo, transforming his body into a Divine Body and triggering a divine tribulation.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo faced hours of ominous weather and psychological pressure before golden tribulation lightning struck him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Jerry survived their divine tribulations, and Jerry helped Ghost Douluo and the others ascend to godhood before the World Consciousness changed the rules for future tribulations. Meanwhile, Tang San’s group infiltrated Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang searched for Bibi Dong, Dugu Yan sought her grandfather, and Poison Douluo continued labor reform outside the city.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo survived his divine tribulation with layers of Soul Power Armor and defensive arrays, then stopped himself from condensing a Divine Ring after Jerry warned him.
• Jerry learned from the World Consciousness why Chrysanthemum Douluo received no golden light, then built composite lightning defenses that helped Ghost Douluo and the others survive their own tribulations and become gods.
• The World Consciousness told Jerry that future divine tribulations would grow stronger based on the defenses and strength of each person crossing them, while Jerry kept the new gods’ ascension secret.
• Tang San and his companions disguised themselves and explored Spirit City as Yu Xiaogang searched for a way to meet Bibi Dong and believed Jerry had imprisoned her.
• Dugu Yan searched Spirit Hall’s dungeons for Poison Douluo, while Poison Douluo remained alive outside the city, healthy and working through labor reform.

Tang San infiltrated Spirit Hall Academy as Tang Yin, while Dugu Yan joined the Enforcement Team to search for her grandfather. Yu Xiaogang failed to enter the Inner City, then sneaked inside and discovered it was empty and its Teleportation Array required a card he did not have.

• Tang San explored Spirit City's modern transport and Soul Tool facilities, realizing that array formations were already built into everyday life.
• Tang San changed his name to Tang Yin and successfully became a guard at Spirit Hall Academy, while Dugu Yan joined the Enforcement Team.

• Yu Xiaogang returned from the Inner City disappointed and spent several days lying at home.
• Tang San used his patrols to explore Spirit Hall Academy and spent his free time memorizing library materials, including Soul Engineer and Teleportation Array research.
• Dugu Yan trained with the law enforcement team, while Oscar and Ma Hongjun spent their days eating their way through Spirit City.
• At a gathering, Tang San gave Yu Xiaogang Soul Engineer materials and Teleportation Array information to study, while Oscar shared what he had heard about cultivation-boosting foods.
• Oscar accused Yu Xiaogang of holding back his growth with flawed advice and reminded him that he had once discouraged Jerry from becoming a Soul Master.
• Yu Xiaogang failed to answer Oscar's accusations and spat blood tinged red and gold, while Tang San felt Oscar had gone too far.

Yu Xiaogang searched Spirit City Library for proof that Food-type Martial Souls could create food that permanently increased attributes, while Tang San joined him in the futile search. Oscar and Ma Hongjun discussed Yu Xiaogang’s past and admitted they had withheld the Recipe Book Martial Soul explanation from him.

• Yu Xiaogang abandoned his array research and searched the library for records about Food-type Martial Souls, but found no answer because Jerry classified the Recipe Book as a Special Martial Soul.
• Jerry’s research described how special Martial Souls such as the Brewing Gourd, farming tools, and Iron Pots were better suited to civilian professions than combat.
• Tang San found Yu Xiaogang absorbed in his research and began reading about Food-type Martial Souls himself to help him.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun ate and drank together, and Ma Hongjun said Yu Xiaogang was searching the library to explain himself to Oscar.
• Oscar said Yu Xiaogang’s theories had been unverified and that he had kept the Recipe Book explanation from him out of resentment; Ma Hongjun admitted he had also withheld it to watch Oscar’s reaction.

Jerry explained that he could use accumulated Power of Faith to help others reach godhood, then selected Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Spirit Hall’s Twelve Cabinet Elders for the first group. He prepared them for divine tribulations and began considering pills that could help them survive, while the Nine-tailed Demon Fox remained trapped and slowly fading inside Hu Liena’s Martial Soul.

• Jerry visited Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, explained that Power of Faith could help people become gods, and told Qian Daoliu that Qian Renxue had already become one.
• Jerry chose Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and the Twelve Cabinet Elders to receive help breaking through to godhood, citing their cultivation and contributions to Spirit Hall.
• Jerry examined the fourteen candidates and explained godhood and divine tribulations, then told them to keep the plan secret while preparations were made.
• Jerry noted that the Tribulation Crossing Ground needed repairs and considered developing pills to heal injuries, restore Soul Power, and strengthen defenses during tribulations.
• The Nine-tailed Demon Fox remained trapped inside Hu Liena’s Martial Soul, its soul dissipating faster because Jerry had synchronized the laws of life and death with the world.

Jerry refined his approach to making powerful weapons by forging Star Celestial Iron and embedding six arrays in a shortsword. After the weapon astonished Lou Gao, Jerry explained how arrays improved Soul Tools, leaving Lou Gao eager to advance in Soul Engineering.

• Jerry left a clone to cultivate medicinal seeds in Pill World while his main body returned to Spirit City to research magic tools.
• Jerry selected Star Celestial Iron and Flowing Fire Iron for their resistance to heat, then spent a night hammering impurities from Star Celestial Iron.

• Jerry inscribed six composite arrays into the forged shortsword, and Lou Gao tested it by cutting through the Sword Testing Stone.
• Jerry explained arrays and their role in advanced Soul Tools, strengthening Lou Gao's resolve to pursue Soul Engineering.

Jerry prepared weapons, armor, pills, and a rebuilt Tribulation Crossing Ground so Spirit Hall’s experts could cross divine tribulations. Bibi Dong and the others succeeded, and after Hu Liena’s crossing Jerry sensed a faint trace of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s aura and resolved to investigate it.

• Jerry and Lou Gao forged tribulation-crossing weapons, armor, and shields, while Jerry refined a first version of the Tribulation Pill and prepared the Star Celestial Iron Tribulation Crossing Ground.
• Bibi Dong crossed her divine tribulation without taking a pill, reached level one hundred, and displayed 70% comprehension of Dark Attribute laws.
• The Twelve Elders crossed their tribulations successfully, and Jerry provoked the hesitant Hu Liena into entering the tribulation area.
• Hu Liena crossed her divine tribulation, thanked Jerry for helping her overcome her fear, and then prepared to absorb a Divine Ring.
• Jerry sensed a faint trace of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s aura and decided to investigate after Hu Liena finished absorbing her Divine Ring.

Jerry discovered that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was dying inside Hu Liena’s Martial Soul because the world’s new laws had sealed it, and he learned that Hu Liena’s original Martial Soul was an Eight-tailed Demon Fox. After Jerry explained her options, Hu Liena chose to release the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and have Jerry help revive it, leaving him to arrange her new path.

• Jerry inspected Hu Liena’s Martial Soul and found the Nine-tailed Demon Fox’s soul dissipating inside it.
• The Nine-tailed Demon Fox explained that the world’s laws of life and death had sealed it and that it needed to reach a place beyond those laws to revive.
• Jerry learned that Hu Liena’s original Martial Soul was an Eight-tailed Demon Fox that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox had suppressed, and he realized Hu Liena’s blood had not produced true Nine-tailed Demon Fox bloodline pills.
• Jerry explained three choices to Hu Liena: keep her current Martial Soul, release the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and become a Summoner, or release it and receive nine powerful Soul Rings.
• Hu Liena chose the second option, and Jerry began preparing to help revive the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and arrange contracts with fox Soul Beasts.

Jerry teleported Hu Liena to his secret lunar base, where she released the Nine-tailed Demon Fox from her Martial Soul. The revived fox learned that the world’s rules would punish it if it returned to Douluo Continent, leaving it stranded on the moon as Jerry watched its dismay.

• Jerry took Hu Liena through a Teleportation Array to his lunar base and explained that the enormous sphere in the sky was Douluo Planet.
• Hu Liena summoned her Martial Soul, and her ten Soul Rings turned into energy that restored the Nine-tailed Demon Fox while reducing her cultivation to Soul Scholar.
• The Nine-tailed Demon Fox greeted Hu Liena and offered to find her new Soul Rings, but she said she planned to follow the summoner path instead.
• Jerry explained the newer cultivation professions to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, which then asked whether it could form a contract with Hu Liena.
• Jerry revealed that the world’s rules had marked the Nine-tailed Demon Fox as dead and would subject it to Heavenly Punishment if it returned to Douluo Continent.
• The Nine-tailed Demon Fox lamented being trapped on the moon, while Jerry secretly enjoyed its predicament and Hu Liena fell into thought.

Jerry helped the Nine-tailed Demon Fox endure Heaven’s Punishment so it could be recognized by the Douluo World and fully revived. The fox revealed its name was Bai Song, and Jerry asked him for the Fairy Queen’s name.

• The Nine-tailed Demon Fox asked Jerry how it could survive Heaven’s Punishment, and Jerry explained that it could endure the punishment itself or have someone powerful block it.
• Bai Song agreed to give Jerry extra blood for pill refining in exchange for his help, while Hu Liena decided not to watch because Heaven’s Punishment could damage her state of mind.
• Jerry transported Bai Song to the Tribulation Crossing Ground and used his clones and stored energy to bear all 108 bolts of Heaven’s Punishment.
• A golden beam struck Bai Song after the punishment ended, and he rejoiced that the world had recognized him and declared that his name was Bai Song.
• Jerry asked Bai Song for the Fairy Queen’s name, and Bai Song fell silent to think.

Jerry revived the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Bai Song, used its blood to make Fox Blood Pills, and gathered nine fox cubs for Hu Liena to contract. The chapter ended with Hu Liena contracting all nine Soul Beasts, absorbing a new Divine Ring, and evolving her Martial Soul into a Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

• Bai Song admitted that it had forgotten the Fairy Queen's name, and Jerry advised it against contracting with Hu Liena before drawing its blood.

• Jerry performed the contracts, raising Hu Liena's Soul Power to level one hundred, and she absorbed a new level-one-hundred Divine Ring.
• Hu Liena refined fifteen Fox Blood Pills and evolved her Martial Soul into a Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

Hu Liena and three fox Martial Soul elders evolved their Martial Souls with Jerry’s Nine-tailed Demon Fox Blood Pills, while Jerry learned more about the fox clan’s attributes and the dangers of time powers. He prepared to strengthen two more foxes as his growing unease warned him that a major event might be coming.

• Hu Liena’s original Martial Soul emerged and evolved into a Nine-tailed Demon Fox, while Jerry taught her to raise her nine contracted fox cubs and train their bodies under gravity.
• Jerry learned from Bai Song that Nine-tailed Demon Foxes could master eight attributes, including space but not time, and concluded that time abilities could consume lifespan.
• Jerry drew blood from Bai Song and refined three hundred more pills, then evolved Yu Shu’s Martial Soul into a Nine-tailed Fire Fox, You Yi’s into a Nine-tailed Ice Fox, and Lan Qiaoqin’s into a Nine-tailed Wood Fox.
• Jerry considered giving the remaining pills to two Eight-tailed Foxes in the Star Dou Great Forest and felt that his persistent unease foretold a major event.

Tang San struggled and failed to make a First-Class Soul Tool after trying to teach himself Soul Engineering, while Yu Xiaogang became so absorbed in studying that he neglected his hygiene. Dugu Yan suspected a prisoner was her Grandpa but could not confirm it, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun continued exploring places and building a large chat group.

• Tang San learned that library materials were available on his phone, then used the app to study Soul Engineering and spent his savings unsuccessfully trying to make a First-Class Soul Tool.
• Yu Xiaogang bought a phone and buried himself in studying, overlooking the search function and letting his hair, clothes, and living habits deteriorate until others avoided him.

• Dugu Bo remained in Soul Guiding Shackles that suppressed his poisonous Soul Power and noticed his Martial Soul slowly changing.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun kept exploring shops and food spots, while Oscar became the owner of a chat group with more than a thousand members.

Tang San learned pill refinement quickly and began seeking older medicinal ingredients, hoping a treasure site would let him make stronger pills. He searched Sunset Forest for Dugu Bo’s former herb garden but found only forest and meteorites, then left determined to look for another treasure site.

• Tang San borrowed money from Oscar and Ma Hongjun, bought a pill furnace and ingredients, and quickly mastered the three public pill formulas.
• Tang San sold some of his pills to fund further study, but found that medicinal ingredients older than nine years were unavailable in Spirit City.
• Tang San suspected the former herb garden in Sunset Forest might have been a treasure site that could grow older medicinal herbs, so he traveled through Heaven Dou City to investigate.
• Tang San reached the herb garden’s remembered location but found only forest, and he searched without discovering the treasure site.
• Tang San guessed meteorites had destroyed or displaced the treasure site, sold the meteorites he found, and decided to seek other unusual locations for a new treasure site.

Tang San researched a rumored volcano in the Extreme North that might conceal an Immortal Herb and treasure land, then began studying array formations so he could reach it without abandoning his Spirit Hall Academy job. He successfully learned the first two arrays and, convinced he had exceptional talent, opened the materials for the third.

• Tang San read an account of a Soul Douluo who found a potent sweet-potato-like plant on a mist-shrouded volcano, recognized it as the Immortal Herb Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, and concluded the mountain might contain a treasure land.
• Tang San sent his followers to find the volcano, and they reported three mountains matching the description.
• Tang San decided to inspect the mountains himself but realized he could not leave his Spirit Hall Academy position for months, so he planned to learn a Teleportation Array.
• Tang San studied array materials and learned to draw the basic Fire-Starting Array after more than a dozen attempts.
• Tang San found the correct route for the Fireball Array on his fourth attempt, repeatedly activated it, and moved on to the third array.

Tang San studied Spirit Hall’s formation lessons obsessively while working as a guard, and Dugu Yan arranged a transfer to the reformation site to find the man she suspected was her grandfather. There, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo recognized each other but held back from reuniting.

• Tang San studied the Fire Ring Formation and spent a month trying to reverse-engineer its complex pattern routes, convinced formations would eventually let him counter Jerry’s Soul Tools.
• Tang San’s coworkers encouraged his studies, and their kindness strengthened his resolve to keep learning formations.
• After Dugu Yan’s distraction nearly let a thief escape, her captain offered to change her assignment, and she requested a post at the reformation site.
• Dugu Yan arrived at the reformation site and waited anxiously for her first day of work, losing sleep as she anticipated seeing her grandfather.
• Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan among the supervisors, and they recognized each other but kept their reunion private.
