Chapter Summaries

Shen Hanyu’s group entered Mingxia City and confronted Mad Bull Douluo, whose strength Shen Liuyu quickly overwhelmed. They met an ailing Tianyin Sect woman and learned that Xu Yuexuan, titled Ziyue, was a royal princess with longstanding ties to the sect.

• Xu Yuexuan revealed her Purple Blazing Sky Dragon Martial Soul, and the young woman recognized her as Princess Ziyue and asked her to introduce her companions.

Shui Bing'er and her companions introduced themselves to Xie Shiyu, who revealed that a fire poison was slowly killing her. Dugu Yan, Shen Hanyu, and Shui Bing'er removed most of the poison, leaving Xie Shiyu to recover and the group waiting to learn more about the Sun Moon Empire.

• Xie Shiyu introduced herself as a rank sixty-seven control-type Battle Soul Emperor and revealed the fire poison afflicting her.
• Dugu Yan examined Xie Shiyu and proposed balancing the fire poison with her Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor Poison so it could be purged.
• Shen Hanyu ordered Dugu Yan to begin the treatment, knocked Mad Bull Douluo unconscious, and used extreme cold to suppress the poisons as Dugu Yan drew them out.
• Shui Bing'er took over the treatment after Shen Hanyu removed most of the poison, while Xu Yuexuan and the others waited for Xie Shiyu to awaken.

After curing Xie Shiyu of her fire poison, Shen Hanyu's group learned that a mysterious force and Evil Soul Masters were stirring chaos across the Sun Moon Empire. Gu Yuena led them to a hidden divine inheritance that opened into a sealed, death-haunted world resembling the Evil Demon Forest, where they were attacked soon after arriving.

• Xie Shiyu and Mad Bull Douluo described the spread of Evil Soul Masters and recalled a devastating beast tide in the Evil Demon Forest years earlier.
• Gu Yuena offered to lead the group to a nearby divine inheritance, and Shen Hanyu's companions revealed their strength and their plan to hunt the Evil Emperor for Ayu's ninth Soul Ring.
• Gu Yuena led the group to a hidden entrance in a waterfall-covered stone wall, which opened after Bai Nian placed her blood on a skull-shaped mark.
• Shen Hanyu led the group into a sealed world that Xie Shiyu recognized as resembling the Evil Demon Forest, and he sensed that part of the forest had been brought there with something else.
• A massive tentacle attacked the group, and Gu Qingbo, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu raised a Soul Power Shield to block it.

• You Mengchu and Mad Bull Douluo dragged a gigantic Evil Eye Tyrant out of the forest, and Shen Hanyu restrained it while Xie Shiyu identified it as a relative of Evil Emperor.
• Shen Hanyu refined the Evil Eye Tyrant and several other Soul Beasts into Flesh and Blood Origin, while the Evil Eye Tyrant's skull Soul Bone went to Bai Nian.
• Shen Hanyu divided the refined essence among the group and reserved a special portion for Ye Lingling, who accidentally bit his finger and blushed when she realized what she had done.
• The group continued through the forest, encountered more powerful Soul Beasts with almost no signs of life, and noticed that the full moon had become incomplete before seeing a shocking sight deep within the forest.

Shen Hanyu’s group explored an ancient altar in a mysterious inheritance space and learned that it belonged to the Death God. Little Phoenix revealed the Death God’s history and suggested Bai Nian might be key to the failing inheritance, leaving Shen Hanyu willing to let her try its idea.

• Shen Liuyu and Qiu Ruoshui discovered that the altar’s stones absorbed Soul Power and blood, and Shen Hanyu destroyed one stone before watching it restore itself.
• Shen Hanyu warned the group not to touch anything, healed Qiu Ruoshui, and led them past ancient remains toward the altar’s pillar.
• Bai Nian felt drawn toward the pillar, but Shui Bing’er interrupted the influence and warned her to report any further changes.
• Snow Empress and Shen Hanyu discussed whether Bai Nian was connected to the inheritance, and Little Phoenix appeared and identified the space as the Death God’s inheritance grounds.
• Little Phoenix explained the Death God’s bloody rise and the likely instability of his inheritance, while Shen Hanyu reasoned that the God of Death Throne was involved.
• Little Phoenix suggested letting Bai Nian act on its suspicion, and Shen Hanyu agreed.

Bai Nian activated Death God's altar by sacrificing blood and transforming its stone pillar, awakening Death God's phantom and beginning the divine test. He survived the altar's transformation, but the test left him marked by Death Aura and altered his six Soul Rings.

• You Mengchu drained nearby Soul Beasts to fill the altar's grooves, revealing a blood-marked pattern around the stone pillar.
• Little Phoenix explained that Bai Nian had to feed his blood to the pillar to pass the first trial, and Shen Hanyu urged him to prepare for the danger.

• The altar awakened Death God's phantom, who appeared before Bai Nian as blood poured into the altar and a formation lifted him into the air.
• Bai Nian endured the divine test's agonizing transformation as a gray mark appeared on his forehead and Death Aura altered all six of his Soul Rings.

After Bai Nian began the Death God's inheritance, Shen Hanyu and the others were expelled from the inheritance grounds, and Gu Yuena speculated that the Death God and Ice God had fallen while seeking to escape the God Realm's limits. As the group waited overnight for Bai Nian, Little Phoenix secretly took human form using the Ice God as her model and approached Shen Hanyu.

• The Death God's phantom sent Shen Hanyu and the others out of the inheritance grounds while Bai Nian remained behind to receive the Death God Inheritance.
• Shen Hanyu told Gu Yuena what had happened, and she explained her theory that the Ice God and Death God had sought to escape the God Realm's restrictive rules.
• The group camped beside the river while they waited for Bai Nian, and Snow Empress entered Shen Hanyu's Spiritual Inner World to begin seclusion.
• You Mengchu went away to meditate, and the Demon Queen left the camp to resolve something that had been weighing on her.
• Little Phoenix transformed into a girl modeled after the Ice God and approached Shen Hanyu, who initially mistook her for a stranger.

• Shen Xinyu stayed with Shen Hanyu overnight and chose to remain by his side in human form.
• Shen Hanyu asked how Snow Empress could grow stronger, and Shen Xinyu said she needed to absorb the world's source power in a place rich in ice and snow.
• Shui Bing'er called from outside to report that the vortex by the stone wall had changed, and Shen Hanyu took Shen Xinyu out to meet the others.

Shen Hanyu introduced the newly humanized Ice Phoenix, Shen Xinyu, to the others, then faced Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling’s anger over his relationship with her. He subdued their objections through intimacy, leaving them exhausted while worrying about how Snow Empress would react when she learned the truth.

• Shen Hanyu introduced Shen Xinyu as the Ice Phoenix who had taken human form, and Shen Liuyu recognized her as the former Little Phoenix.
• Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling confronted Shen Hanyu about secretly getting together with Shen Xinyu, and he admitted it.
• Shui Bing'er accused Shen Hanyu of continuing to add partners without consulting them and threatened to tell Snow Empress.
• Shen Hanyu kissed Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling, then overwhelmed them until they begged him to stop.
• After the barrier came down, Shen Hanyu carried the exhausted girls to the river and worried about explaining Shen Xinyu to Snow Empress.

Bai Nian emerged from the collapsed trial space having qualified to inherit the downgraded God of Death Throne, and she revealed the first test and the Death God's divine artifacts. Shen Hanyu led the group toward the Evil Demon Forest, while a mysterious remnant appeared after they left and spoke of a coming victory in the God Realm.

• Bai Nian emerged from the collapsing vortex as Shen Hanyu shielded the group from the flood, and she said she had completed the trial and begun her first Death God's Divine Test.
• Bai Nian explained that the God of Death Throne had fallen to a Second-level God throne, and Gu Yuena said Bai Nian could restore its rank through cultivation.
• Shen Hanyu decided the group would return to the City Lord's Manor and then travel to the Evil Demon Forest, where Bai Nian's first test required her to kill powerful Soul Beasts alone.
• Bai Nian revealed the Eye of Death and described the Death Scythe, while Gu Yuena explained that the Scythe had been forged from the Death God's original body and had slain many deities.

As they traveled across the Sun Moon Empire, the group witnessed advanced artillery in a war zone, and Shen Hanyu reassured Shui Bing’er that Soul Tools would not overcome Soul Masters in their era.

• Xie Shiyu brought experimental Soul Guided Vehicles to the City Lord’s Mansion, and Xu Yuexuan explained how their compact designs resembled warship power devices.

Elsewhere, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen named their daughter Tang Nianxi as Bibi Dong advanced toward godhood and Qian Renxue endured the Angel Secret Realm's trials.
