Chapter Summaries

Dugu Yan reunited with Dugu Bo at the reform camp and learned he had stayed there by choice because the Soul Guiding Shackles suppressed his clan’s poisonous backlash and slowly changed his Martial Soul. Dugu Yan explained that she had been missing in the Extreme North, and realized that her own disappearance had kept them apart.

• Dugu Yan found Dugu Bo’s work records and learned he had completed his reform term years ago but had chosen to remain at the camp.
• Dugu Yan discovered that Zhao Qian-kong had misled her about Dugu Bo and resolved to confront him.
• Dugu Yan secretly entered Dugu Bo’s cell, and they embraced and cried after reuniting.
• Dugu Bo explained that the Soul Guiding Shackles drained his Soul Power, stopped his poison backlash, and caused his Martial Soul to mutate.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan he had searched for her because he feared her Martial Soul would cause the same poison backlash.
• Dugu Yan explained that she had gone to the Extreme North, where Spirit Hall could not track her, and realized that her disappearance had prevented their reunion.

Dugu Yan reunited with Dugu Bo and learned that his Martial Soul might soon mutate, while he discovered that her poison could eventually overwhelm her Soul Bones. Dugu Bo urged her to search Spirit Hall’s records for research by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Jerry that might solve the problem, and Dugu Yan began looking.

• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that Empress Xue Ke had quietly dealt with the nobles who bullied her, and Dugu Bo warned her not to cause trouble for the Empress.
• Dugu Bo explained that his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was nearing mutation and might let him leave the Reformation Facility in about half a year.
• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that she stored her poison in Soul Bones and had become a god, but Dugu Bo warned that the bones would eventually reach capacity.
• Dugu Bo recalled that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Jerry had succeeded in an experiment involving poisonous Martial Souls and concluded that Spirit Hall held records of a possible solution.
• Dugu Yan returned to her residence and began searching Spirit Hall’s records for the experiment.

Dugu Yan discovered that detoxification pills could only temporarily relieve her Mixed Poison, then learned that sentence searches could narrow the materials on her phone. At a gathering, she showed Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun the search function, revealing that they had wasted months reading irrelevant results.

• Dugu Yan tested three Detoxification Pills and found that the Ten Thousand Poisons Detoxification Pill removed eighty percent of her Mixed Poison, but Grandpa warned that the remaining poison would eventually fill her Soul Bone.
• After reading more than three thousand search results, Dugu Yan learned from a colleague that she could enter full sentences to filter the materials.
• Dugu Yan used sentence searches to find information about poison, attribute-boosting foods, and Tang San's Fire Ring Formation, then laughed at how much time she and others had wasted.
• At the gathering, Dugu Yan showed Tang San and Yu Xiaogang targeted search results, and they realized they had spent months reading without using the sentence-search function.

After learning that Spirit Hall had already published information about attribute-raising foods and ready-made formations, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San realized their recent research had been wasted. Yu Xiaogang resolved to study Soul Engineering privately, while Tang San made quick progress with formations before discovering that advanced ones required a long chain of prerequisites.

• At dinner, Dugu Yan, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun laughed about Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's search-bar discoveries, and the embarrassed pair left as soon as the gathering ended.
• Yu Xiaogang read Spirit Hall's article on foods that permanently increased attributes and learned that Oscar's Food-type Martial Soul cultivation had never been a problem.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that Oscar and Ma Hongjun had known the secret from their Master Chef certificates, then cleaned himself up and decided to study Soul Engineering in private.
• Tang San found instructions for the Fire Ring Formation, succeeded on his first attempt, and read the phone manual after realizing he had overlooked useful functions.
• Tang San used the phone's materials to complete his fourth and fifth formations, then stopped at the sixth when he learned it required mastering multiple lower-level formations and attributes.

Dugu Yan studied Spirit Hall’s research on Poison Attribute Martial Souls and discovered that a Soul Ring could store poison by condensing a Soul Power Seed inside it. She tested the method with her Wood Attribute Sixth Soul Ring, successfully storing poison, but the chapter leaves clear that the technique requires unusually high Spiritual Power and is not an easy solution for most Soul Masters.

• Dugu Yan finished studying twenty articles on Poison Attribute Martial Souls and discussed the possible remedies with Dugu Bo, who explained that his pearl stored only half his poison and was not a true poison core.
• At Dugu Bo’s suggestion, Dugu Yan asked Tang San to search using his employee ID, and he found an additional article detailing Soul Ring Poison Storage.
• Dugu Yan restrained her Wood Attribute Sixth Soul Ring with Spiritual Power and injected Poison Attribute Soul Power until a green-black Soul Power Seed formed inside it.
• Dugu Yan poured poison from her Soul Bone into the Soul Ring overnight, confirming that it could safely store poison and seeing its age rise from fifty thousand to fifty thousand and one years.
• Dugu Yan realized that one Soul Ring might resolve a Poison Attribute Martial Soul’s backlash, but the method required at least two thousand Spiritual Power, making it inaccessible to most Soul Masters.

After an unexpected enlightenment strengthened Dugu Yan and helped her transfer poison from her Soul Bones, she reconsidered her hatred of Spirit Hall and began doubting the plan to overthrow it. Oscar and Ma Hongjun had also grown attached to their lives in Spirit City, leaving Tang San’s infiltration plan increasingly compromised.

• Dugu Yan emerged from an overnight enlightened state with greatly improved Spiritual Power, smoother Soul Power control, and fewer cultivation problems.
• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that she had successfully found a way to resolve poison backlash, and Dugu Bo celebrated while postponing his own treatment until his Martial Soul finished mutating.
• Dugu Yan resumed transferring poison from her Soul Bones and discovered that much of it had already moved into her Soul Rings.
• Dugu Yan reconsidered her resentment toward Spirit Hall, judged its laws and public services beneficial, and began wavering over Tang San’s plan to overthrow it.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun were revealed to have already lost much of their willingness to fight Spirit Hall and planned to assess the situation before helping Tang San.
• Spirit Hall monitored suspected infiltrators, while Jerry imprisoned some and investigated how to remove the malicious implants placed during Divine Trials.

Jerry uncovered a widespread Church of Light God network by updating the Body Detector to identify Divine Trial participants, then secretly arrested key believers across Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires. He discovered that removing their Soul Rings caused the implanted golden souls to separate and dissipate, freeing coerced believers, while Tang San and the other suspected successors remained undetected.

• Jerry examined a Divine Trial participant and found a golden soul fused into his soul, along with high-density energy stored in his Soul Rings.
• Jerry updated the Body Detector, which identified 74,351 Soul Masters with high-density energy in their Soul Rings, and ordered investigations and secret arrests.
• Jerry questioned captured Church of Light God leaders and learned they used deceptive tasks to recruit believers; several leaders had also cultivated Jerry's Visualization Method.
• Jerry tried to extract a golden soul directly but shattered the believer's soul, then discovered that removing the Soul Rings caused the golden soul to detach and eventually dissipate.
• Jerry arranged for coerced believers who had committed no betrayal to remove their Soul Rings, recover after the golden souls dissipated, and be quietly released.

Jerry purged the infiltrated believers across the empires and learned how Divine Trials turned participants into followers of the Church of Light God. He secretly entered Extreme North City, where everyone had undergone a trial, and began by freeing the local Spirit Hall staff from their implanted golden souls.

• Spirit Hall and local garrisons investigated believers, removed their Soul Rings and golden souls, and used contracts to prevent them from revealing the operation.
• Jerry learned the Divine Trial grades and discovered that the Sea God had altered the Thunder God's trial rules and kept Thunder God Hall.
• After purges across Spirit City and the two empires, Jerry traveled secretly to Extreme North City and found that every Soul Master there had participated in a Divine Trial.
• Jerry captured the eleven Spirit Hall branch staff, identified them as deceived believers, removed their golden souls, and replaced their Soul Rings.
• Jerry ordered the staff to familiarize themselves with their new Soul Skills and planned to wait for the other nineteen workers before expanding the purge.

Jerry and Xue Ke secretly reclaimed the Extreme North from the Church of Light God while the Empire and Spirit Hall publicly began developing the region. After the believers were captured or freed from the Church’s influence, Jerry started planning the region’s development, and the Five Divine Envoys celebrated in Spirit City, unaware of the deception.

• Jerry told Xue Ke that the Church of Light God controlled the Extreme North, and they arranged an Empire inspection team to resolve the situation secretly.
• Tang San instructed the Church’s followers in the Extreme North not to interfere with the Empire’s or Spirit Hall’s development efforts, while the other Divine Envoys agreed.
• Spirit Hall recruited workers to help build a barrier and block phone signals, then gradually freed or imprisoned the Church’s believers.
• Jerry surrounded the City Lord’s residence and captured its occupants, who revealed that none of them knew the Divine Envoys’ identities.
• The Extreme North returned to the Empire, and Jerry began planning its development while the Five Divine Envoys celebrated in Spirit City.

Jerry reflected on the limits of Spirit Hall’s phone-based sweep for the Church of Light God and helped Oscar and Ma Hongjun expand the Gourmet Appreciation Association with a continent-wide food event. Oscar and Ma Hongjun stayed in Jerry’s Floating Courtyard, where they discovered its free teleporting food and clothing services, and experimented with its facilities until dawn.

• Jerry concluded that phone checks could not expose believers without phones or the Church of Light God’s five Divine Envoys, and he identified storage Soul Tools as a phone signal blind spot.
• Tang San studied Level Six formation arrays while Yu Xiaogang struggled to memorize Soul Tool materials, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun’s Gourmet Guide helped boost food tourism across the continent.
• Jerry promoted the Gourmet Appreciation Association through the Martial Soul Newspaper and phone messages, making the association and its leaders widely known.
• Jerry met Oscar and Ma Hongjun, and the three planned a continent-wide food event to help people discover local dishes.
• Jerry arranged for Oscar and Ma Hongjun to stay in a Floating Courtyard, where they tested its free teleporting food and clothing services and explored its cultivation facilities through the night.

Tang San questioned Oscar and Ma Hongjun for openly cooperating with Spirit Hall, but Dugu Yan privately confirmed that she and the two men no longer wanted to overthrow it. As the continent-wide food event approached, Oscar and Ma Hongjun explained that their work with Spirit Hall supported regional development, while Jerry’s larger goal remained the advancement of the continent and its world.

• Spirit Hall announced a continent-wide culinary event with the Gourmet Appreciation Association, listing Oscar and Ma Hongjun as organizers and judges.
• Tang San challenged Oscar and Ma Hongjun’s open cooperation with Spirit Hall, and they defended it as another way to develop their faction.
• Dugu Yan privately confronted Oscar and Ma Hongjun, revealed that her grudge against Spirit Hall had been resolved, and said she no longer wanted it overthrown.
• Dugu Yan explained her change of heart, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun agreed that Spirit Hall benefited people across the continent.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun described how Jerry’s investments and the food event encouraged travel and local development, while Jerry sought to advance the continent and its world.

After arranging an explosion to secure time off, Tang San traveled alone to the Extreme North, found a nearly formed Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and consumed five Immortal Herbs that greatly increased his strength. Back in Spirit City, he prepared new pills and arrays for a future clash with Jerry, while Yu Xiaogang advanced his Soul Tool studies after discovering a more practical approach.

• Tang San became a Level Seven Array Master but decided not to wait years to reach Level Nine, so he staged an alchemy-room explosion that injured him and earned him a month of leave.
• After the academy failed to investigate the explosion, Tang San traveled alone to the Extreme North and found a mist-covered treasure site with a nearly formed Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Tang San planted medicinal seeds, consumed five Immortal Herbs, and gained greatly enhanced strength before returning to Spirit City with spirit herbs.
• Tang San refined powerful pills and prepared Magnetic Force Arrays, believing they would give him an advantage against Jerry.
• Yu Xiaogang learned that he could study Soul Tool crafting without memorizing every material first, then ordered uninscribed First-Class Soul Tools and began engraving them.

Jerry discovered that all ten Small Worlds had been destroyed during failed advancements because they were incomplete, independent half-worlds. The Main World's World Consciousness began absorbing their remaining origins, and Jerry and the others sensed the Main World changing.

• Yu Xiaogang ruined more than a dozen unfinished Soul Tools while trying to engrave their rule runes, revealing his poor Spiritual Power control.
• Jerry watched recordings showing the ten Small Worlds and their star systems destroyed after their worlds began advancing.
• The Main World's World Consciousness explained that Jerry had made the Small Worlds independent by disconnecting them from the Main World, but they lacked the conversion Isolation Belts needed to advance safely.
• The World Consciousness said it could absorb the destroyed Small Worlds' origins before they dispersed.
• Jerry comforted the grieving Silver Dragon King and Fairy Queen, promising to create their worlds again once he understood world creation.
• The World Consciousness began absorbing the remaining energy, and people across the Main World sensed it changing.

Jerry and the World Consciousness prepared the Main World for another advancement after it absorbed his ten Small Worlds. As the advancement began, Jerry projected a message across the continent to reassure its panicking people.

• The World Consciousness absorbed Jerry’s ten Small Worlds, and the resulting pressure left people across the Main World confused and frightened.
• The World Consciousness warned Jerry that the Main World might fail to advance because there were too few nearby meteorites to expand it.
• Jerry, the Fairy Queen, and Jerry’s clones gathered meteorites from a distant belt and piled them in the Far South while the Silver Dragon King helped suppress the advancement.
• After Jerry and the Fairy Queen made more than thirty trips, the World Consciousness confirmed they had gathered enough meteorites.
• Jerry told the World Consciousness to release the suppression, then projected himself above major cities and announced that Douluo Planet was about to advance.

As Douluo Continent began advancing for a second time, people moved into cities while the Divine Realm’s God Kings debated the consequences and warned their inheritors not to interfere. The chapter ended with Jerry and Spirit Hall anticipating the changes, while Tang San’s group remained unwilling to help Jerry.

• Jerry’s explanation calmed the people, who followed the previous safety measures and moved into cities as the world began advancing again.
• The God Kings discussed how the advancement could raise the cultivation limit and agreed to support it, then warned the gods’ inheritors against causing trouble.
• The Sea God spent resources contacting Tang San and ordered him to leave the advancement alone; Tang San replied that his group had never planned to interfere.
• Tang San wondered what benefits the advancement would bring and decided he would not help Jerry, even if the gods asked him to.
• At Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu hoped the advancement would restore his youth and help the Angel Clan, while Jerry speculated about new ways to become a god in a higher-level world.

Jerry helped the World Consciousness complete the planet’s second advancement in one year by moving water, earth, and stone, while Spirit Hall supported the continent through the disasters. Afterward, Soul Power increased tenfold, and Jerry discovered that the world’s cultivation limits had risen, renewing his drive to cultivate.

• Jerry agreed to help the World Consciousness and set up 104 water-conversion sites on the moon, using his clones and the Fairy Queen’s clones to produce water.
• Jerry used Storage Soul Tool Rings to transport water into the planet, then requisitioned more rings from Spirit Hall so he could move meteorites and earth to fill the expanding world’s fissures.
• The planet’s advancement continued for a year, and Jerry’s work, along with Spirit Hall’s supplies and the World Consciousness’s efforts, reduced the devastation and prevented unrest.
• The advancement ended, leaving damaged villages, farmland, and roads, while Spirit Hall’s stores had been depleted and the continent faced the need to rebuild its food reserves.
• Soul Power continued gathering for three months after the advancement and stabilized at ten times its previous concentration, prompting widespread growth, longer lifespans, and breakthroughs among humans and Soul Beasts.
• Jerry found that his apparent rule comprehension had fallen by 20 percent because the world’s limits had risen, and he realized his body and Soul Force could now advance further.

After the world advancement, Jerry investigated a barrier enclosing the Douluo Star System and concluded that the Divine Realm gods likely used a Teleportation Array to leave. He learned that the world’s advancement was still underway as gravity gradually increased, then arranged for the Fairy Clan to grow food to help the continent cope with shortages.

• Jerry found a spherical transparent barrier enclosing the Douluo Star System, but could not break it even with 80% mastery of the Space Law.
• Jerry reasoned that the Divine Realm gods must have a Teleportation Array capable of traveling between star systems and decided he would need to seek them out.
• After three months in space, Jerry returned to Douluo Planet and discovered that gravity had risen to 1.3 times its former level.
• The World Consciousness told Jerry that gravity would rise gradually until it reached one hundred times its former level, then vanished after raising it to 1.4 times.
• Jerry worried that elderly people and children would struggle to adapt to the rising gravity and that food supplies would run short.
• Jerry arranged for a thousand Fairies to switch from growing medicinal herbs to planting food crops.

After Douluo Planet's advancement disrupted Teleportation Arrays and other Soul Tools, Jerry diagnosed the changes and modified the arrays and Energy Storage Devices. He began organizing their repairs and planned a large-scale replacement of the teleportation modules in Soul Tool Phones.

• The Great Elder told Jerry that the planet's expansion had disabled Teleportation Arrays and caused Floating Courtyards, Energy Storage Devices, and Soul Tools to malfunction.
• Jerry identified the main causes as shifted coordinates, a hundredfold increase in Soul Power Concentration, and increased gravity.
• Jerry changed the Teleportation Array's location rules to use variable coordinates and reduced Energy Storage Device absorption to a sustainable rate.
• Jerry modified one Teleportation Array, which activated successfully, and determined that other arrays and their Teleportation Cards also needed adjustments.
• Jerry planned to have his 106 available clones repair the remaining arrays, then produce replacement teleportation modules for one hundred million Soul Tool Phones.

Jerry updated Energy Storage Device parameters, announced the effects of the world's advancement, and made arrays and gravity devices adaptive to changing conditions. He speculated that the gods had severed humanity's cultivation inheritance, while Tang San remained unaware that the arrays he had studied were now invalid.

• Jerry tested lower-grade materials, posted updated Energy Storage Device parameters, and announced the world's advancement and its effects on Spirit Hall's website and in the Martial Soul Newspaper.
• Jerry reasoned that Soul Ring limits had once been much higher and concluded that gods had deliberately severed the cultivation inheritance of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
• Jerry modified the Floating Courtyard's Gravity Array to detect and adapt to monthly changes in gravity.
• Jerry posted new rule runes that let arrays adapt to changes in Soul Power Concentration, resolving the array problem caused by the world's advancement.
• Tang San struggled to combine arrays into a level-seven array, unaware that the arrays he had learned had become invalid after the world's advancement.

Jerry hosted a meal for his masters and fellow disciples, shared tea, and discussed cultivation after the world’s advancement. When Zhu Zhuqing asked for a child, Jerry explained that their divine bodies were too different; she returned to seclusion determined to catch up to him, while Jerry remained unable to find Tang San.

• Jerry updated his medicinal-herb data and invited his masters, senior sisters, and junior sisters to a meal at his courtyard.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo told Jerry that elders had repeatedly mooched tea from him and Ghost Douluo, and Jerry revealed that Qian Daoliu had likely spread word about the premium tea.
• Jerry explained that hundred thousand year tea could help gods comprehend rules, gave Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo more leaves, and advised his disciples to focus on one rule at a time.
• After the gathering, Zhu Zhuqing told Jerry she wanted a child, and Jerry explained that the difference between their Divine Bodies made having descendants effectively impossible.
• Zhu Zhuqing took Jerry’s pills and went into seclusion, believing she could catch up to him before his cultivation reached its limit.
• Jerry considered using Tang San as an opponent to motivate his disciples, but dismissed the idea and remained unable to locate him despite Spirit Hall’s intelligence network.
