Chapter Summaries

After learning that the Clear Sky Sect had occupied the Balak Kingdom, Empress Xue Ke and Empress Zhu Zhuqing prepared their empires for war and secured Spirit Hall’s cooperation. The Two Great Empires began planning a joint campaign focused on the Clear Sky Sect while aiming to protect Balak’s civilians.

• A Spirit Hall spy told Empress Xue Ke that the Clear Sky Sect had seized the Balak Kingdom, and Xue Ke ordered heightened defenses and surveillance.
• Empress Xue Ke publicized the threat, rallied the Heaven Dou Empire, and began large-scale military preparations.
• Empress Zhu Zhuqing told her ministers that the Clear Sky Sect had returned, then stirred support for a Star Luo Empire campaign framed as revenge.
• The Two Great Empires notified Spirit Hall that they would handle the war themselves, and Spirit Hall agreed on the condition that they spare Balak’s civilians where possible.
• The empires assigned Spirit Hall’s Information Department to gather intelligence and began studying the Clear Sky Sect’s tactics and weaknesses.

The Two Great Empires’ siege caused panic and shortages in the Balak Kingdom, pushing Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect toward war while Spirit Hall stayed officially neutral. In Spirit City, Qian Daoliu urged the Cabinet Elders to restrain their people, and Bo Saixi remained silent rather than plead for the Clear Sky Sect.

• The Two Great Empires surrounded the Balak Kingdom without attacking, and a week of military drills and pressure drove citizens to flee.
• Tang San traced the kingdom’s shortages and panic to Spirit Hall branch halls closing after stocking supplies, then concluded that the kingdom had to go to war before its economy collapsed.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun failed to contact Tang San because signals in the Balak Kingdom had been shut down, and they criticized his decision to act without consulting them.
• The Cabinet Elders met as Spirit Hall purchased supplies and closed its Balak Kingdom branches, while the Two Great Empires declined Spirit Hall’s offer of help.
• Qian Daoliu told the Twelve Elders to restrain their subordinates, and Bo Saixi chose not to ask him to protect the Clear Sky Sect.
• The Cabinet Elders struggled to control Spirit Hall members and Soul Engineer students eager to join the war and test their weapons.

Tang San tried to break the Balak Kingdom’s encirclement by seeking outside aid, while Zhuqing and Xue Ke let a message get through so they could identify his allies. After Oscar and Ma Hongjun sent supplies and promised a coordinated attack, Zhuqing traced the Balak Kingdom’s contact to the Gourmet Association and concluded that Tang San was inside the kingdom.

• Tang San sent a flying squad to scout the northern canyon, but the Two Great Empires captured the squad and, on Xue Ke and Zhuqing’s orders, let its members go after erasing their memories.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun agreed to help Tang San after receiving a secret letter, and a black-clad Soul Master later delivered one hundred Storage Soul Tool Rings filled with supplies and a plan for an attack in two weeks.
• Tang San accepted the supplies and promised that the Balak Kingdom would attack from within when the Church of Light God’s followers struck from outside.
• Zhuqing and Xue Ke investigated where the escaped flying Soul Masters had gone and discovered that all seven had visited the Gourmet Appreciation Association’s restaurant.
• Zhuqing concluded that the Gourmet Association had helped Tang San and realized he was in the Balak Kingdom.

After the Clear Sky Sect’s forces and the Church of Light God’s believers turned the tide of the war, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke planned battles to expose the hidden believers. Spirit Hall Academy students then brought experimental weapons to the front, and the chapter ended with Zhu Zhuqing shielding her army from a bomb that annihilated an enemy camp.

• Zhu Zhuqing reported her suspicion that Tang San was in the Balak Kingdom to Spirit Hall and urged it to monitor the Gourmet Appreciation Association.

• A young soldier launched Jerry’s enormous bomb at an enemy camp, and Zhu Zhuqing shielded her army from the blast as the bomb destroyed the camp and left a massive crater.

A researcher’s unauthorized large bomb Soul Tool exploded on the battlefield, exposing Spirit Hall’s secret weapon and terrifying the armies. After Elder Gong Ya collected the researcher and authorized cautious use of the weapons, Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke prepared the Two Great Empires to resume the war with a modernized arsenal.

• A large bomb Soul Tool detonated, shocking Tang San and the soldiers while forcing both sides to halt their offensives.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke calmed the shaken soldiers during a week of rest and questioned the researcher who had fired the bomb.
• The researcher confessed that he had secretly joined the army to test his invention after Spirit Hall’s superiors refused to approve a test site.
• Elder Gong Ya arrived, took the researcher away, forbade researchers from joining the war, and told Zhu Zhuqing to use the exposed weapons cautiously.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke revised their battle plans, and Zhu Zhuqing showed the generals an arsenal of Soul Tools and explained how to use them.

Tang San’s mechanical weapons initially slowed the Two Great Empires, but Zhu Zhuqing’s Soul Tool forces won a major battle and drove the Balak Kingdom toward collapse. After Clear Sky Sect Titled Douluo killed more than seventy thousand soldiers, Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her army and prepared to avenge them with five Five Elements Bombs.

• Tang San learned that the Two Great Empires’ large bomb Soul Tools were no longer in use, regrouped his troops, and deployed mechanical weapons that shifted the fighting in Balak’s favor.
• Zhu Zhuqing recognized the mechanical weapons and concluded Tang San was in the Balak Kingdom, then sent her Soul Tool squads to the front.
• The Two Great Empires’ Soul Tool forces overcame the mechanical weapons’ ammunition and endurance limits, broke the Balak Kingdom’s lines, and forced Tang San to retreat.

• Zhu Zhuqing entered the password on all five Five Elements Bombs, set their targets across the Balak Kingdom, and launched them.
• Tang San grew suspicious of the Two Great Empires' retreat and spotted the bombs heading toward the kingdom's cities.
• Tang San tried to block the bomb aimed at the capital, but its resistance trigger caused it to explode in midair.
• The capital and the other four target locations were devastated, killing the people and Clear Sky Sect elders caught in the blasts.
• Tang San flew to the border and accused Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke, while Zhu Zhuqing calmly defended the attack as an act of war.

Tang San attacked the armies of the Two Great Empires with his god-level power, believing his side could overcome Spirit Hall. When Zhu Zhuqing stood against him and revealed that she too had become a god, Tang San was left questioning how she had gained divine power without the Divine Realm’s announced trials.

• Tang San reflected on his plans against Spirit Hall and his failed attempts to infiltrate its Research Department before deciding to crush the Two Great Empires by force.
• Tang San released his ten Soul Rings and overwhelming pressure, forcing the soldiers to kneel while Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke remained standing.

• Zhu Zhuqing revealed her ten Soul Rings, including nine red rings and a final golden ring, dispelled Tang San’s pressure, and drew cheers from the soldiers.
• Tang San questioned how Zhu Zhuqing had become a god without undergoing the Divine Realm’s announced trials.

Zhu Zhuqing fought Tang San in a god-level battle but struggled to break through his defenses, while he threatened the armies behind her. Empress Xue Ke protected the soldiers with her Swan abilities and revealed that she was also a god, as Zhu Zhuqing launched her Ninth Soul Skill at Tang San.

• Zhu Zhuqing attacked Tang San with her Ninth Soul Skill, Hell Demonic Fiend, and Tang San raised his Clear Sky Hammer to block it.

Zhu Zhuqing shattered Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer and left him gravely wounded, but Yu Xiaogang rescued him from the battlefield. After waking in a hidden Gourmet Appreciation Association property, Tang San thanked Yu Xiaogang, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun and resolved to recover and grow stronger.

• Zhu Zhuqing destroyed Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer and defenses, then wounded him severely while Xue Ke watched.
• As Zhu Zhuqing prepared to finish Tang San, Yu Xiaogang used a lightning strike to obscure the battlefield and carried Tang San away.

• Ma Hongjun and Oscar encouraged Tang San not to give up, while Yu Xiaogang remained silent beside the bed.

After Zhu Zhuqing reported Tang San’s emergence as a god, the divine-level powerhouses reconsidered how divine battles and cultivation worked. Her deductions, followed by Ye Lingling’s explanation of the Power of Faith, revealed why their bodies transformed at different rates and sparked a comic scramble to exchange departments with Elder Ghost Leopard.

• A week after recovering, Tang San secretly returned to Spirit City, and Zhu Zhuqing reported his godhood and mysterious rescuer to Qian Daoliu’s meeting of divine-level powerhouses.
• Zhu Zhuqing proposed that divine battles depended on comprehending rules and creating individual rule skills, while their blood tests suggested most attendees had not yet completed their transformation into gods.
• Elder Jin E questioned why their transformations differed, and Ye Lingling explained that the Power of Faith accelerated them.
• Zhu Zhuqing explained that living beings produced faith through gratitude and that serving people could bring it; she said the Information Department was especially suited to gaining faith, though Elder Ghost Leopard had received very little.
• Elder Jin E, the Saint Dragon Elder, and others rushed to exchange departments with Elder Ghost Leopard, who began wondering whether he was the problem.

Great Elder Qian Daoliu ended the elders’ dispute over Power of Faith and redirected Spirit Hall’s focus to Tang San and the unknown god-level expert. As Spirit Hall monitored Oscar and Ma Hongjun, the two used a hidden underground passage to meet and agreed to keep their connection to Tang San secret; Oscar then slipped away toward another concealed space in Spirit City.

• Great Elder Qian Daoliu stopped the elders from arguing over the Information Department and warned them to prioritize Spirit City's development while seeking more Power of Faith.
• The elders failed to find a practical way to deal with Tang San and the unknown god-level expert, so Spirit Hall quietly removed Tang San's warrant the next day.
• Spirit Hall's elders decided to monitor Oscar and Ma Hongjun because Zhu Zhuqing identified them as members of Tang San's faction, and Elder Ghost Leopard and Elder Demon Bear watched their home.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun discovered the surveillance and secretly descended through a hidden passage, where they agreed not to let Spirit Hall discover their connection to Tang San.
• Oscar left through another passage and entered an empty courtyard in Spirit City's fourth ring, where a concealed mirror opened onto a staircase leading to another hidden space.

• Oscar told Tang San that Spirit Hall was watching him and Ma Hongjun, and warned that Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Dugu Yan should avoid meeting them.
• Tang San worried that Spirit Hall might have another way to create gods, and urged Oscar to flee rather than fight if danger arose.
• Oscar quietly notified Yu Xiaogang and Dugu Yan, while Elder Ghost Leopard and Elder Demon Bear watched Oscar and Ma Hongjun for a month without finding anything unusual.

• The Elf Queen told Jerry how past betrayals had caused the Tree of Life to stop communicating, and Jerry vowed to protect it; the Tree of Life responded and agreed to relocate.
