Chapter Summaries

Ling Yun introduced the Ten Directions Trial Tower, a growth-type Divine Artifact that offered tailored trials and a path to greater cultivation for humans and Soul Beasts alike. Di Tian learned that Soul Beasts could reach the million-year realm inside the tower without triggering the God Realm Thunder Tribulation, giving his clan hope of overcoming its greatest barrier.

• Ling Yun revealed the Ten Directions Trial Tower and explained that its ten floors offered trials for Soul Masters across every cultivation realm, up to godhood.
• Ling Yun described how the tower tailored trials to each entrant and rewarded success with improved cultivation, Martial Soul mastery, and a chance to pursue godhood.

• Zhongli Wu considered how the Holy Spirit Cult could use the tower to raise powerful Evil Soul Masters and dominate the continent.
• Di Tian asked whether Soul Beasts could reach the million-year realm inside the tower without facing the God Realm Thunder Tribulation.
• Ling Yun confirmed the tower's internal rules were isolated from the outside world, and Di Tian, Myriad Demon King, and Xiong Jun rejoiced at the Soul Beast Clan's new hope.

The auction for the Ten Directions Trial Tower sparked a fierce bidding war among the major factions. Di Tian's nine-billion-Gold-Soul-Coin bid put the Soul Beast Clan ahead, leaving Zhongli Wu furious and fearing the Holy Spirit Cult would leave the auction empty-handed.

• Ling Yun explained that the Ten Directions Trial Tower aided cultivation but limited each person to two hours of use per day and required a one-day wait between entries.
• Ling Yun opened bidding at one billion Gold Soul Coins, and representatives of the Sun Moon Empire, Holy Spirit Cult, and Star Luo Empire drove the price upward.
• Shrek Academy watched helplessly as its depleted funds kept it from competing in the bidding.
• Zhongli Wu bid eight billion Gold Soul Coins, believing the Ten Directions Trial Tower was within the Holy Spirit Cult's grasp.
• Di Tian bid nine billion Gold Soul Coins for the Soul Beast Clan, shocking the hall and provoking Zhongli Wu's fury.
• Ling Yun confirmed the Soul Beast Clan's nine-billion-Gold-Soul-Coin bid and asked whether anyone would offer more.

The Soul Beast Clan won the Ten Directions Trial Tower, and Gu Yuena vowed to use it to strengthen the clan and repay the God Realm for its blood debt. Ling Yun then revealed the tenth auction item, a perfectly pure human body forged by the mysterious Spirit Clan, leaving its nature and purpose unexplained.

• Ling Yun sold the Ten Directions Trial Tower to the Soul Beast Clan, and Di Tian handed it to Gu Yuena.
• Gu Yuena sensed the tower's power and resolved to use it to raise powerful Soul Beasts and seek revenge against the God Realm.
• Ling Yun presented the tenth auction item, a lifelike human body whose purity puzzled the auction guests.
• Huo Yuhao consulted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and Electrolux, but none could fully explain the body's origin.
• Ling Yun explained that the body had been forged by the Spirit Clan, a race that used heaven and earth, laws, and worldly beings as materials.

Ling Yun revealed that the Spirit Clan-forged Spiritual Body offered a God-tier body and the potential to grow to God King strength, but merging with it would erase a person’s Martial Soul and Soul Master powers. Ye Xishui, the Sun Moon Empire, and Star Luo Empire began a fierce bidding war, while the Soul Beast Clan watched from the sidelines.

• Ling Yun explained that the Spiritual Body could grant a God-tier body and evolve toward God King strength, but would assimilate or reject its owner’s Martial Soul, Soul Rings, and soul skills.
• Ye Xishui became determined to obtain the Spiritual Body, while Di Tian and Gu Yuena considered it and Jing Hongchen urged Xu Tianran to pursue it as a possible basis for an evolving humanoid weapon.
• Ling Yun opened the bidding at one billion Gold Soul Coins, with minimum increases of one hundred million.
• Ye Xishui bid first, followed by Xu Tianran and Xu Jiawei, and the price climbed rapidly as the factions competed.
• Di Tian criticized humans’ desire for an easy gain as the Soul Beast Clan watched the auction.

The Holy Spirit Cult won the God-tier Spiritual Body for 8 billion Gold Soul Coins, but Ling Yun then revealed a Bodhi Seed with an extraordinary chance of helping powerful Soul Masters become gods. Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu realized the Seed might have been worth more than the treasure they had just bought.

• Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu agreed to spend everything to secure the Spiritual Body, and Ye Xishui won it with an 8-billion-Gold-Soul-Coin bid after Xu Tianran and Xu Jiawei withdrew.
• Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu celebrated the Holy Spirit Cult's acquisition of the Spiritual Body and its potential to produce a God King.
• Ling Yun presented an ordinary-looking golden sphere and identified it as a Bodhi Seed formed over centuries by a Bodhi Tree.
• Ling Yun explained that the Bodhi Seed could help Titled Douluo break through their bottlenecks and gave Limit Douluo a 90% chance of condensing a divine position.
• Ye Xishui's joy turned to dismay, and Zhongli Wu clenched his fists as they realized the Bodhi Seed might have surpassed the Spiritual Body in value.

The Bodhi Seed sparked a fierce auction among the great human factions, but Di Tian entered the bidding on behalf of the Soul Beast Clan and drove the price beyond the Clear Sky Sect’s means. The auction was left poised at eight billion Gold Soul Coins, with the Soul Beasts in the lead.

• Xu Jiawei, Ning Qitian, Titan, and Xu Tianran bid against one another as the Bodhi Seed’s price climbed past five billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Xu Tianran withdrew, and Ning Qitian gave up after Niu Tian raised the Clear Sky Sect’s bid to six billion.
• Di Tian bid six billion five hundred million, shocking the human factions and freezing Titan and Niu Tian’s apparent victory.
• Niu Tian raised the bid to seven billion, but Di Tian immediately offered eight billion.
• Titan and Niu Tian abandoned the bidding, while the Evil Emperor and Snow Empress suppressed their interest after seeing Gu Yuena’s support for Di Tian.

• Gu Yuena urged Di Tian to bid for the Bodhi Seed, and he offered eight billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Titan and Niu Tian gave up, and Ling Yun sold the Bodhi Seed to the Soul Beast Clan.
• Ling Yun revealed a mysterious golden light that stirred the souls of everyone in the auction hall.
• Gu Yuena recognized the light as God Realm Origin Power, and the Golden Dragon King shared her suspicion.
• Di Tian, Gu Yuena, and Xiong Jun realized the Soul Beasts could not absorb the power because the God Realm's rules rejected their bloodlines.
• Gu Yuena watched the human factions as the auction's final contest for the Origin Power approached.

Ling Yun revealed that the auction's next item was a wisp of God Realm Origin Power that could let its user become a god without undergoing tribulation. The Star Luo Empire and Clear Sky Sect remained in the bidding after the Sun Moon Empire and other contenders withdrew.

• Ling Yun explained that the God Realm Origin Power could transform its user's soul and body, break the Level One Hundred bottleneck, and grant immediate godhood, then opened bidding at 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Xu Jiawei, Xu Tianran, Du Busi, Ning Qitian, and Titan competed fiercely as the bids climbed past 6 billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Ning Qitian and Du Busi withdrew, leaving Xu Jiawei and Xu Tianran to compete while the Clear Sky Sect held back.

• Xu Tianran withdrew, leaving the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect in the final contest as Xu Jiawei prepared to keep bidding.

Xu Jiawei won the God Realm Origin Power for the Star Luo Empire with a bid of nine billion Gold Soul Coins. Ling Yun then revealed the God of Fire’s inheritance seed, sparking a new bidding war among the factions seeking a path to godhood.

• Xu Jiawei outbid Titan and Niu Tian with a bid of nine billion Gold Soul Coins, and the Star Luo Empire won the God Realm Origin Power.

• Xu Tianran, Jing Hongchen, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and leaders from other factions turned their attention to the inheritance seed.
• Ling Yun set the starting bid at one billion five hundred million Gold Soul Coins, and the factions immediately began bidding.

The Clear Sky Sect won the God of Fire's God Position Inheritance Seed after outbidding the other factions. Just as the auction seemed to be ending, Ling Yun revealed a mysterious card as the final item and hinted that it had a different purpose from the cards sold before.

• Xu Tianran, Du Busi, Ning Qitian, and Titan competed for the God of Fire's God Position Inheritance Seed as their factions' funds dwindled.
• Ma Xiaotao longed for the inheritance seed, but Shrek Academy could not afford it, and Yan Shaozhe comforted her.
• Niu Tian raised the Clear Sky Sect's bid to seven and a half billion, then an inconspicuous gray-clad old man bid eight billion.
• Niu Tian bid eight and a half billion, and the gray-clad old man withdrew, allowing the Clear Sky Sect to win the inheritance seed.
• Ling Yun announced a final auction item and presented a golden card, explaining that it did not increase cultivation or the age of Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

Ling Yun explained that the Golden Summoning Card could bring a genuine God-tier expert from another point in time to the present, and revealed that the summoned being could not be controlled but would be unable to harm the summoner or designated targets for one year. The factions began a frenzied bidding war, while Di Tian wondered whether the card could summon an expert from the Soul Beast Clan.

• Ling Yun announced that the Summoning Card could summon a genuine God-tier expert, stunning the auction hall and drawing Gu Yuena's intense interest.
• Jiang Li reflected that the card summoned someone who had truly existed in Douluo Continent's past or future and carried risks such as an uncertain target and temporal paradoxes.

• Xu Tianran, Du Busi, Ning Qitian, Xuan Zi, Titan, and others drove the price past eight billion in a furious contest.
• Di Tian asked whether the card could summon an expert from the Soul Beast Clan, such as a Million-Year Soul Beast.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian bid five billion Gold Soul Coins for the God-tier Summoning Card, prompting human factions to form an alliance to keep it from the soul beasts. Ling Yun then revealed that the card could summon only human God-tier experts connected to Douluo Continent, and the soul beasts abandoned the bidding.

• Gu Yuena ordered Di Tian to bid for the Summoning Card, and he raised the price to five billion Gold Soul Coins.
• Human factions reacted with alarm, and Xuan Zi urged Shrek Academy, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Clear Sky Sect to join forces.
• The three human factions agreed to pool their funds and secure the card before deciding how to approach the summoned expert and divide the benefits.
• Ling Yun explained that the card could summon only human God-tier experts from Douluo Continent's past or future, not soul beasts or beings from other planes.
• Di Tian lowered his Auction Paddle after learning the card could not summon a soul beast, while Gu Yuena concealed her disappointment.

The alliance of Shrek Academy, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Clear Sky Sect won the God-tier Summoning Card after the Soul Beast Clan withdrew and the bidding soared to twelve billion Gold Soul Coins. Ling Yun announced that the next auction, one month later, would focus entirely on opportunities for godhood, leaving the continent’s factions scrambling to prepare and Gu Yuena determined to return.

• Gu Yuena ordered Di Tian to withdraw from the bidding after learning the Summoning Card could summon only human experts.

Mu En, Niu Tian, and Titan activated the Summoning Card at Shrek Academy, opening a gate that unleashed overwhelming divine light. Tang Hao and Ah Yin recognized the presence behind it and warned the Sea God Pavilion to stop, but the summoning could not be halted, leaving the entire continent wondering which deity had arrived.

• Mu En, Niu Tian, and Titan poured their Soul Power into the golden Summoning Card, which opened a radiant gate at Sea God Island.
• Tang Hao and Ah Yin sensed the gate's Ultimate Light and recognized its aura, then urgently warned Mu En and Xuan Zi to stop the summoning.
• Mu En and Xuan Zi tried to withdraw their Soul Power, but the gate had stabilized and the ritual continued.
• The gate burst open, and its divine light swept across Sea God Island, forcing Mu En, Xuan Zi, Niu Tian, and Titan back.
• The golden radiance and God-level Pressure spread over Shrek Academy and Shrek City, alerting powerful figures across the Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy's summoning brought back Angel God Qian Renxue, whose divine Light Power alarmed factions across the continent and horrified Shrek and the Clear Sky Sect. As Qian Renxue began to understand her return, Tang Hao's thought-form rose from the Golden Tree to confront her.

• Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling sensed Shrek's divine Light Power, and Zhongli Wu suspected it belonged to a legendary figure before deciding to watch events unfold.
• Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen sensed the divine aura, and Jing Hongchen feared Shrek had summoned a great disaster from the past.
• Jiang Li watched the pillar of light over Shrek and remarked on the unlikely summon.
• Qian Renxue appeared above the Sea God Pavilion, and the Shrek elders and Clear Sky Sect members recognized the Six-winged Angel and reacted with horror.
• Qian Renxue awoke, learned she had been summoned across time and space, and sensed she had returned to Douluo Continent.
• Tang Hao's thought-form erupted from the Golden Tree and rose to confront Qian Renxue with enough power to briefly contend with her.

Tang Hao confronted the newly resurrected Qian Renxue, and their clash unleashed a battle between god-level powers above Sea God Island. Huo Yuhao and the others watched from safety as Ice Empress warned that Tang Hao’s thought-form was vastly outmatched by Qian Renxue.

• Tang Hao evacuated Mu En and most of the lower-cultivation students to a safe area as Qian Renxue recognized him and attacked with Angel, Judgment.
• Tang Hao used Clear Sky Avatar and Exploding Ring to meet Qian Renxue’s strike, then drew her into the sky to protect Shrek Academy and the Golden Tree.
• Qian Renxue and Tang Hao’s attacks collided, sending a devastating energy ripple across the Douluo Continent.
• Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe shielded the relocated students while Huo Yuhao watched the battle and struggled under its pressure.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress identified the fighters, and Ice Empress judged that Tang Hao’s thought-form could not overcome Qian Renxue’s superior divine rank.

Huo Yuhao feared the one-year agreement with Qian Renxue would leave Shrek Academy defenseless once she regained her full power. As Qian Renxue pressed her assault on Tang Hao, she discovered Zhongli Wu spying and forced him to flee, while Shrek’s defenders struggled to protect the academy from the battle’s shockwaves.

• Huo Yuhao worried that Shrek and the Douluo Continent could not produce an expert stronger than a First-Class Deity within a year.
• Zhongli Wu watched the divine battle outside Shrek City and realized Shrek possessed a powerful hidden ally.
• Qian Renxue sensed Zhongli Wu’s evil aura, exposed his hiding place, and sent him fleeing.
• Qian Renxue unleashed Angel Domain and Divine Judgment against Tang Hao, whose fading phantom struggled to block her attacks.
• Titan and Niu Tian strengthened the Sea God Pavilion’s defensive formation to shield Sea God Island from the battle’s shockwaves.

The God Kings realized that Qian Renxue had returned and suspected the Starry Sky Auction House was responsible, but their fear of provoking its mysterious expert kept them from intervening. Qian Renxue destroyed Tang Hao’s consciousness phantom, leaving Ah Yin and the weakened Golden Tree facing her next move.

• The God Kings questioned Tang San about Qian Renxue’s impossible resurrection, and he blamed the Starry Sky Auction House and its mysterious expert.
• Tang San urged the God Kings to stop Qian Renxue from attacking his father’s consciousness and Shrek Academy, but they hesitated because of the God Realm’s rules and their fear of the Auction House.
• Qian Renxue unleashed Angel, Purify the World, and shattered Tang Hao’s crimson-gold phantom despite his final charge with the Clear Sky Hammer.
• The Golden Tree dimmed and withered after Tang Hao’s phantom vanished, while Ah Yin realized Tang Hao’s true body could not reach Shrek Academy in time.

Qian Renxue was prevented by a binding placed by the Starry Sky Auction House from destroying Shrek Academy, so she withdrew and went to confront the auction house. Shrek’s survivors planned to warn Tang San, while Qian Renxue wondered whether the Pavilion Master could revive her family and sought answers behind the opened doors.

• Qian Renxue’s attempt to attack Shrek Academy was stopped by a binding that forbade her from harming it for one year, and she warned that she would destroy it when the restriction ended.
• Qian Renxue left Shrek as its survivors collapsed, and Yan Shaozhe lamented the damage and the academy’s lost wealth.
• Niu Tian and Titan told Mu En and Xuan Zi that they would return to the Clear Sky Sect and seek a way to contact Lord Sea God about Qian Renxue’s resurrection.
• Qian Renxue considered asking the Starry Sky Auction House to revive Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, while resolving to find Tang Hao’s true body before Tang San could intervene.
• Qian Renxue arrived at the Starry Sky Auction House, and its doors opened before she could knock.

Qian Renxue met Jiang Li at the Starry Sky Auction House and learned that her revival had been caused by a random Summoning Card rather than his deliberate choice. Jiang Li hinted that the auction one month later might offer a way to help her, leaving her hopeful about reviving her family and opposing Tang San.

• Qian Renxue entered the Starry Sky Auction House and confronted Jiang Li when he appeared before her.
• Jiang Li explained that a Summoning Card had randomly revived Qian Renxue and that the Auction House did not sell such cards directly.
• Qian Renxue asked whether the Auction House could revive a specific person, and Jiang Li said the odds with another Summoning Card would be less than one in ten thousand.
• Jiang Li told Qian Renxue that the next auction would take place in one month and might offer something she wanted.
• Qian Renxue asked whether the auction would include a way to oppose or suppress a God King, but Jiang Li left without revealing the items.
