Chapter Summaries

Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi visited Wriothesley to discuss the Star Luo Empire’s impending invasion and its advantage from Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. Wriothesley lightly chided Xue Qinghe for seeking his advice, and their urgent military discussion ended as a relaxed tea gathering without a strategy being decided.

• Wriothesley teased Xue Qinghe for bringing every matter to him, and their discussion continued as a casual tea gathering.

Wriothesley discussed Star Luo’s growing threat with Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, then warned that Tang San and Dai Mubai might have gained divine power. The chapter ended with Qian Renxue realizing Tang San could seek revenge on Wriothesley and wondering why he remained calm.

• Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe told Wriothesley that Star Luo’s military strength and Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons threatened Heaven Dou.

• Wriothesley said victory depended on more than weapons and directed Xue Qinghe to discuss equipment with Ning Fengzhi.

• Qian Renxue considered the missing Shrek members and realized Tang San might return to avenge his relatives, but wondered why Wriothesley was still calm.

Wriothesley challenged Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi’s belief that gods were immortal and invincible, insisting that mortals could live long lives and even slay gods. He brought them to Heaven Dou City’s southern wall to demonstrate his point, but the demonstration had not yet begun.

• Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi asked Wriothesley how powerful gods were and whether he feared Tang San and Dai Mubai becoming gods.
• Wriothesley said that longevity did not necessarily make one a god and that godhood did not necessarily mean invincibility.
• When Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi doubted that humans could defeat gods, Wriothesley said mortals could slay gods and decided to teach them a lesson.
• Wriothesley called for Sigewinne, then led Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi to Heaven Dou City’s southern wall.
• Wriothesley placed his hand against the city wall and told Ning Fengzhi to have Chen Xin or the Pope try striking a wall to see whether they could achieve what he was about to show.

Tang San led Star Luo’s 1.2-million-strong army toward Jialing Pass, aiming to invade Heaven Dou while relying on the Balak Kingdom’s cooperation. As he approached the pass, he warned Dai Tianyang that enemy Soul Masters could attack their extended supply lines, leaving the army’s next response unresolved.

• Tang San and Dai Tianyang discussed the plan to pass through Jialing Pass and advance toward Heaven Dou’s capital, while Dai Tianyang explained why bypassing the Tianling Mountain Range was too dangerous.
• Tang San agreed to attack Jialing Pass but warned that its massive walls could resist their Hidden Weapons; Dai Tianyang trusted their numbers and Tang San’s strength to secure victory.
• The Star Luo army arrived before Jialing Pass, where Heaven Dou and Balak Kingdom soldiers were waiting to meet them.
• Tang San cautioned Dai Tianyang that enemy Soul Masters could circle behind the invading army and repeatedly attack its logistical supply units.

Tang San warned Dai Tianyang that Soul Masters made war difficult to predict, but the marshal and his generals dismissed his concerns, prompting Tang San to leave and focus on reaching godhood. Meanwhile, Wriothesley and Sigewinne went to the Star Dou Great Forest to decide how to help Heaven Dou in the coming war, and Sigewinne remained unsure of Wriothesley’s plan.

• Tang San argued that Heaven Dou and Star Luo could not guard against an attack by Soul Masters, but Dai Tianyang and the generals challenged his view of warfare.
• Dai Tianyang assured Tang San that he had prepared properly and suggested the State Preceptor could handle trouble himself if it arose.
• Tang San left the central army camp, intending to complete the final step toward becoming a god.
• Wriothesley brought Sigewinne to the Star Dou Great Forest after receiving the three keys to the Under Heaven Treasury and agreeing to help Heaven Dou.
• Sigewinne said she opposed the war and asked whether Wriothesley could defeat Star Luo’s army and Tang San’s Hidden Weapons.

Heaven Dou generals speculated that Xue Qinghe was letting the war weaken the nobles, while Tang San hunted powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to strengthen his martial souls. After reaching level 95, he set his sights on Da Ming and Er Ming for his seventh soul ring.

• A Heaven Dou general questioned Xue Qinghe's decision not to launch a surprise attack, and another suggested the Emperor intended to reduce the Empire's burden by eliminating nobles.
• The generals agreed to keep their suspicion secret, while Heaven Dou remained divided and Star Luo stood united.
• Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings before facing the Seven Emotions Trial.
• Tang San absorbed the soul ring of a nearly sixty-thousand-year Cave Demon Spider Emperor, then hunted additional powerful soul beasts to reach level 95.
• Tang San decided to seek Da Ming and Er Ming for his seventh soul ring and headed toward the forest's core region, concealing his intentions from Xiao Wu.

Wriothesley and Sigewinne entered the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest to meet its gatekeepers, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. The two beasts sensed that Sigewinne was neither human nor soul beast and demanded to know who she was.

• Wriothesley and Sigewinne traveled into the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, where soul beasts sensed Wriothesley’s aura and kept their distance.
• Wriothesley approached the lake, intending to assess the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python before involving them in his plans.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python rose from the lake and asked Wriothesley why he had come.
• The Titan Giant Ape noticed that Sigewinne did not smell human, while the Sky Azure Bull Python questioned what she was.
• The Titan Giant Ape stared at Sigewinne and asked how she was there.

Tang San encountered Wriothesley and Sigewinne alongside the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who learned Xiao Wu had sacrificed herself and took her order to kill Wriothesley. Wriothesley prepared to fight the two soul beasts while Tang San waited for a chance to strike.

• Tang San's fifth soul ring revealed Xiao Wu's phantom, and the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape grieved upon seeing her.
• Xiao Wu's words led the two soul beasts to target Wriothesley, while they warned Tang San not to betray her sacrifice.
• Tang San retreated and hoped the soul beasts would wear Wriothesley down so he could take advantage afterward.
• Wriothesley told the two soul beasts they were no match for him and covered his hands with gauntlets as they prepared to attack.

Wriothesley defeated Da Ming and Er Ming in seconds, leaving Tang San to flee the Star Dou Great Forest while Xiao Wu grieved. In the God Realm, the God of Destruction convened the gods to decide whether to abandon the Douluo Continent now that the Rakshasa Godhood had been inherited.

• Da Ming and Er Ming unleashed their Domains and strongest attacks against Wriothesley, but his ice and punch overwhelmed them and collapsed their Domains.
• Sigewinne reappeared beside Wriothesley as he left the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings behind; Xiao Wu wept, and Da Ming urged Tang San to escape.

• The God of Destruction gathered the God Realm’s leaders and raised the question of whether to abandon the Douluo Continent after the Rakshasa Godhood was fully inherited.
• The God of Kindness began to respond to the proposal to abandon the Douluo Continent.

The gods agreed to abandon Douluo Continent, while Di Tian received orders to keep the Star Dou Great Forest hidden as war loomed. Tang San failed to revive Xiao Wu, and Balak betrayed Heaven Dou by admitting the Star Luo army, prompting Xue Qinghe to prepare Jialing Pass for defense.

• The God of Destruction and the other gods agreed to hand Douluo Continent over to Wriothesley, while the Asura God gave up on Tang San inheriting a complete divine position.
• Xiong Jun demanded that Di Tian avenge the fallen soul beasts, but a majestic voice ordered the beasts to guard their territory and stay hidden from the God Realm.
• Tang San tried to revive Xiao Wu, but she did not appear; the Asura God revealed that she had used up the last of her soul to protect him.
• The king of Balak opened his city gates to Dai Tianyang and the Star Luo army, which advanced toward Jialing Pass.
• Xue Qinghe learned of Balak's betrayal and ordered Heaven Dou's forces to defend Jialing Pass, then accepted Spirit Hall's offer of reinforcements.

Xue Qinghe received news that the Star Luo army had breached Jialing Pass after King Barack opened its gates, and that Marshal Gelong had died defending it. She ordered Heaven Dou’s forces and Spirit Hall reinforcements to the front, then learned that the Duke had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• A guard reported that the Star Luo army had entered Jialing Pass with King Barack’s help and was advancing into Heaven Dou.
• The guard said Marshal Gelong had died resisting the attack and that Star Luo Emperor Dai Mubai had personally led the assault.
• Ning Fengzhi urged Xue Qinghe to gather forces and stop the Star Luo army from advancing.
• Xue Qinghe ordered Heaven Dou’s elite troops and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples led by Sword Douluo Chen Xin to reinforce the front, and demanded that Chrysanthemum Douluo reach Jialing Pass within three days.
• The guard reported that the Duke had left Heaven Dou City for the Star Dou Great Forest after disturbances were reported there.

Ning Fengzhi reflected on Ning Rongrong’s growth and worried about the vast gap between her strength and that of her peers. At Jialing Pass, Dai Mubai ordered the Star Luo army to press into Heaven Dou after the city fell, and led the assault against its defenders.

• Ning Rongrong brought Ning Fengzhi tea and offered to help with sect affairs, while he privately regretted that she had not pursued a different path.
• Ning Fengzhi noted that he had sent thirty percent of the sect’s disciples to support the front lines and wondered what Wriothesley was doing.

• Zhu Zhuqing revealed her flaming wings and ten Soul Rings, prompting Dai Mubai to accuse her of betraying Star Luo.
• Zhu Zhuqing said she had nothing to defend and raised a flame barrier with her Divine Skill, Immortal Will, against Dai Mubai's God of War's Roar.

• A dark crimson sword light interrupted Shui Binger's attack, and someone called out for Wriothesley, saying they had ascended to godhood.

• Tang San appeared before Shui Binger and Zhu Zhuqing, unleashed his divine might, and ordered them to stop resisting Star Luo’s unification.
• Shui Binger and Zhu Zhuqing refused to retreat and prepared to hold Tang San off together.

• Bibi Dong and Tang San exchanged attacks, clashing her demonic claw against his Asura God Sword.

Bibi Dong transformed into her Rakshasa True Body and continued fighting Tang San, while Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin approached the battlefield and chose to seek an advantage without joining the duel. Ning Fengzhi then revealed two Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotuses and prepared to use them against Star Luo’s forces, prompting Tang San to order Xiao Bai to stop him.

• Bibi Dong transformed into her Rakshasa True Body, and Tang San readied himself as their aerial battle intensified.
• Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin watched the duel from a distance and agreed they could not intervene directly.
• Ning Fengzhi decided to preserve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s strength and ordered the army not to advance at full speed.
• Ning Fengzhi took two Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotuses from his storage Soul Tool and prepared to reduce Star Luo’s military strength.
• Tang San recognized the hidden weapons and ordered Xiao Bai to stop Ning Fengzhi.
• Ning Fengzhi challenged Tang San by reminding him that the Tang Sect was a vassal of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while continuing to handle the weapons.

Ning Fengzhi unleashed the Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotus on the Star Luo army, causing catastrophic casualties and making Tang San realize the weapon’s destructive power. Dai Mubai vowed that Star Luo would become the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s enemy, while Wriothesley and Sigewinne continued toward the battlefield.

• Ning Fengzhi launched two Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotus weapons toward the densest parts of the Star Luo army, and Dai Mubai failed to stop them.
• Wriothesley and Sigewinne watched from afar, and Wriothesley told her that the war was not theirs to interfere in before continuing forward with her.
• Ning Fengzhi activated the weapons, and their explosions killed two Soul Saints and devastated the soldiers and civilians around them.
• Bibi Dong watched the destruction and wondered what kind of weapon could cause such damage without Soul Power.
• Dai Mubai declared Star Luo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect irreconcilable enemies, and Tang San condemned Ning Fengzhi and his people to death.

Ning Fengzhi confronted Tang San over the Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotus and rejected Tang San’s claim that godhood put him above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The confrontation was interrupted by Ma Hongjun’s arrival as a newly ascended Second-Level God, while Oscar remained behind in the God Realm.

Ma Hongjun joined Dai Mubai and the others as a god and attacked Spirit Hall’s army, but Bibi Dong struck back and forced them into a fight. While Shui Binger and Zhu Zhuqing kept their distance, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin attacked the Star Luo army; Bibi Dong was growing exhausted under the three gods’ combined assault when someone pleaded for the fighting to stop.
