Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi learned that Zhongli was feared even by God Kings and that Xiao was a God of Fire inheritor, leaving him shaken by how far outmatched he was. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he explained the divine ranks to Chen Xin and admitted why he had lost his composure.

• The Nine-Colored Goddess warned Ning Fengzhi that Zhongli was feared by God Kings, while Xiao's inheritance came from a Rank One God.
• Xiao wondered whether Du Siji wore the Qianyan Set and belonged to a Qianyan Army in this world, until Paimon clarified that the God of Fire was not the one Xiao knew.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin left Zhongli Manor in a daze, and Ning Fengzhi cursed that becoming a deity's inheritor had only made him more afraid to stand up to Zhongli.
• Chen Xin asked Ning Fengzhi what had happened, and Ning Fengzhi explained the divine ranks and revealed that the Nine-Colored Goddess was a Rank Two God while the God of Fire was at the peak of Rank One.

Ning Fengzhi learned that Oscar had received the Food God’s divine inheritance, but the news only deepened his despair about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s standing against the Innate Sect. Gu Rong brought Oscar before Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin to show them the bearing of a divine inheritor, leaving Oscar to reveal his martial soul and unusual soul rings.

• Gu Rong arrived at the council hall and announced that Oscar had received a divine inheritance.
• The Nine-Colored Goddess explained that Oscar had inherited the Food God’s Rank Two Deity position, and Ning Fengzhi lost hope of competing with the Innate Sect.

• Gu Rong brought Oscar into the hall and told him to release his martial soul so Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin could see a divine inheritor.
• Oscar thanked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and revealed his martial soul with one yellow and three purple soul rings.

Oscar revealed that his second Soul Ring had become a thousand-year ring, but Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin reacted calmly because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already obtained a divine inheritance. After Ning Fengzhi explained why the sect feared a powerful figure, Oscar accepted the unchanged conditions and agreed to keep his Food God inheritance secret from Ning Rongrong.

• Oscar showed Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin his thousand-year second Soul Ring and was confused by their lack of surprise.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed his own nine-ring martial soul and told Oscar to cultivate diligently while keeping Ning Rongrong in the sect until Oscar became a god.

• Ning Rongrong continued to act crazed, though she restrained herself around Oscar because she knew he was the last person who loved her.

Zhongli learned that Du Siji’s Third Trial required him to withstand Zhongli for the time it took an incense stick to burn, and the group went to the outskirts of Heaven Dou City to begin. Du Siji activated his strongest abilities to face Zhongli, but the trial’s outcome remained unsettled.

• Zhongli summoned his All-encompassing shield, which absorbed Du Siji’s attack without cracking or moving.

• Du Siji attacked Zhongli with enhanced strength, and Zhongli explained that Du Siji’s power was poorly controlled and only temporarily reached the threshold of level ninety-six.
