Yun Che revealed the Primordial Wraith and attacked Zang Xin, whose Retrospection soul skill let him evade the first strike and counterattack. Yun Che effortlessly stopped Zang Xin’s sword assault and crushed the surrounding space, leaving Zang Xin to realize his opponent might rival Yun Ming.

• Zang Xin concluded that Yun Che might be comparable to Yun Ming and that he would lose in a real fight.

Gu Chen and Yun Che refused to negotiate with Zang Xin over the Tang Sect’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Gu Chen let Zang Xin mistake him for a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. As Tang Sect reinforcements approached, Yun Che launched his ninth soul skill, Heavenly Demon Curse.

• Gu Chen looked down on the newcomers, judging them unworthy because they had become Title Douluo at an older age.

Trapped in a dark realm without his Soul Power or dragon bloodline, Gu Chen discovered his double pupils remained and hoped to use the Heaven-Mending Stone to remake himself. A mysterious man appeared, revealed the realm as the Path of Reincarnation, and told Gu Chen to follow him, but Gu Chen demanded to know who he was.

• Gu Chen found that his Soul Power and Purple Desolation Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon bloodline had vanished, but his double pupils still worked.
• Gu Chen considered using the Heaven-Mending Stone to transform his martial soul into a unique physique and become a true Double Pupil Bearer.
• A mysterious golden-eyed man appeared, and the surrounding darkness receded at his presence.
• The man identified the place as the Path of Reincarnation and told Gu Chen to come with him.
• Gu Chen saw the souls of dead Evil Soul Masters and realized the realm might be a reincarnation place for Douluo Continent.
• Gu Chen ignored the man's invitation and asked who he was, feeling both familiar with him and wary of him.

Gu Chen followed a mysterious man to a hall that could supposedly return him to his original world, while the man warned that the Heaven-Mending Stone might not save him. In Star Luo, Na'er and Gu Yue realized Gu Chen was in grave danger after his Reverse Scale shattered, and Di Tian set out to find someone.

• A mysterious man led Gu Chen through the darkness to a hall and said it could return him to his original world.
• Gu Chen questioned why he should return while injured, and the man warned that the Heaven-Mending Stone could be taken from him if its original master was far stronger.
• The man claimed that a woman had promised Gu Chen would suffer no adverse effects, while Gu Chen's system gave no response.
• Na'er discovered that Gu Chen's Reverse Scale had shattered and hurried to New Star Luo City to meet Gu Yue.
• Gu Yue recognized the scale's deathly Destruction Power and called Di Tian to find someone.

Di Tian searched for Gu Chen across several regions and eventually reached Sunset Forest, where he witnessed a battle that ended with Gu Chen critically injured. Di Tian rescued Gu Chen’s corpse-like body and fled, while Yun Che rushed toward Zang Xin.

• Gu Yuena ordered Di Tian to find Gu Chen and bring him back, so he searched Tiantou, Shrek City, Star Dou Forest, and other locations without success.
• Di Tian reached Sunset Forest and hid to watch a clash between a Quasi-God and a Limit Douluo, hoping to take advantage if both were weakened.
• The battle became increasingly strange as one fighter grew stronger, and a burst of divine power immobilized nearly everyone present except Di Tian.
• A sharp sword pierced Gu Chen’s chest, and divine power shattered his heart, leaving him apparently dead with only a faint breath remaining.
• Yun Che charged toward Zang Xin, while Di Tian transformed into the Gold Silver Black Dragon King, seized Gu Chen’s body, and escaped through a spatial rift.

Di Tian returned with Gu Chen, whose body remained intact but whose soul had vanished, leaving Gu Yue and Gu Na'er devastated. Gu Yue tried to prioritize the Soul Beast plan, while Na'er took Gu Chen away to find another way to save him.

• Di Tian brought Gu Chen back after trying every treatment he could, but Gu Chen showed no signs of life.
• Gu Na'er rushed to Gu Chen and wept, while Gu Yue stood frozen beside him.
• Gu Yue recalled that she had watched over Gu Chen for three days and discovered his body had not decayed, though his soul was gone.
• Gu Yue told Gu Na'er to hand Gu Chen over because the Soul Beast plan could not stop for him.
• Gu Na'er slapped Gu Yue, accused her of abandoning Gu Chen, and carried him away to seek a way to save him.
• Di Tian watched silently, unable to help with their grief.

Gu Yue let Na'er take Gu Chen away, unable to find a reason to stop them. Trapped in darkness, Gu Chen discovered the Five-Colored Stone was slowly transforming his body, but its progress meant he might have to wait thousands of years to return.

• Gu Yue accepted that she needed time to heal as Na'er took Gu Chen farther away.
• Gu Chen complained that he had already spent three years trapped in the dark, while a man told him he would have to wait even longer before leaving.
• The man departed after saying someone had come to find him, leaving Gu Chen alone and furious.
• Gu Chen noticed multicolored crystals from the Five-Colored Stone covering a small part of his fingertips and felt its power transforming his body.
• Gu Chen realized the stone had covered only a fingernail-sized area in three years and estimated it could take thousands of years to cover his whole body.
• Gu Chen considered the River of Oblivion but chose to keep waiting for the Five-Colored Stone to return him to his original world.

Gu Chen endured centuries of isolation in the Yellow Springs as five-colored crystals slowly encased him and transformed his body. Sealed in a cocoon and unable to think, he began losing access to memories of his past.

• Gu Chen waited alone and cursed Tang Buddha Ancestor and Zang Xin, but the crystal covering him continued to grow.
• Over centuries, the crystals spread across Gu Chen's body until only his left shoulder and the area above his neck remained exposed.
• Gu Chen's prolonged solitude and inability to move or cultivate pushed him toward mental collapse, and he began to forget his name.
• The five-colored crystals sealed Gu Chen in a cocoon while their light broke down and rebuilt his body.
• Gu Chen absorbed a small amount of the crystals' light as his body evolved, while memories of important people and events became unreachable.

Gu Chen fell into the River of Oblivion and vanished beneath its waters, while a man arrived too late to find him. Later, a merchant caravan found a young man beneath a tree, and his sudden awakening unleashed a devastating punch.

• Gu Chen's crystal shattered in the River of Oblivion, and the current carried him into its depths.
• A bloodied man reached the riverbank, found no trace of Gu Chen, and left after reflecting on their bond.
• A merchant caravan traveling through a forest spotted a figure beneath a tree and cautiously surrounded it.
• A young man poked the unconscious youth with a wooden stick, which exploded into fragments.
• The youth awoke abruptly and threw a powerful punch, and the caravan leader pulled the young man out of its path.

A powerful youth awoke in a forest with no memory of his identity, alarming a group led by a middle-aged man. The man took him along and named him Gu Chen, while the youth suggested Di Cang felt familiar.

• The youth opened his eyes and struggled to remember who he was after nearly striking the middle-aged man with a powerful punch.
• The middle-aged man questioned the youth, who said he could not remember his identity.
• The middle-aged man offered to take the youth with his group until his memories returned.
• The youth agreed, and the middle-aged man named him Gu Chen, with Di Cang as a nickname after the youth said it felt familiar.

Gu Chen traveled with the middle-aged man and the group to Ming Capital, where the city’s streets and buildings stirred an unexplained sense of familiarity in him. When the man tried to give him Federal Coins using a phone, Gu Chen instinctively reached for the device, leaving them both stunned.

• Gu Chen learned that the group was heading to Ming Capital and joined them in the Soul Island Off-road Vehicle.
• After the journey, the group reached Ming Capital and stopped at the city gate to report their cargo.
• The middle-aged man asked Gu Chen whether the city felt familiar, and Gu Chen said it did despite having no clear memory of visiting it.
• The middle-aged man offered to transfer Gu Chen some Federal Coins so he could shop, then realized Gu Chen had no phone.
• Gu Chen recognized something about the middle-aged man's phone, reached out, and took it, leaving both of them frozen.

Gu Chen recognized the purple eye on the phone as strangely familiar, and fragments of memories about a silver-haired girl and others surfaced before he crushed the phone into pieces. The middle-aged man urged him to ignore or pursue his memory flashes, and they later brought the wrecked phone to a shopkeeper for repairs.

• Gu Chen snatched the phone from the middle-aged man's hand with astonishing speed and stared at its purple eye, which reminded him of his own eyes.
• Gu Chen recalled scattered phrases and images of a silver-haired girl and a black-haired girl, then asked who the familiar person was before the middle-aged man startled him back to his senses.
• Gu Chen and the middle-aged man discovered that the phone had been crushed into tiny fragments, and the man explained that Gu Chen could either pursue his memory flashes or ignore them.
• Gu Chen followed the middle-aged man, still thinking that the person in his memory felt familiar.
• Gu Chen, the middle-aged man, and the shopkeeper looked over the wrecked phone, and the shopkeeper questioned how he was supposed to repair it.

At a phone repair shop in Ming Capital, Gu Chen learned his crushed Red Dust Brand Phone could not be repaired, and the shopkeeper began to suspect he matched a missing-person notice. The shopkeeper sensed an oppressive aura from Gu Chen and hesitated to summon the City Defense Army.

• The shopkeeper recognized that Gu Chen looked like someone in the recent missing-person notices but initially decided not to ask.
• The shopkeeper found the Red Dust Brand Phone shattered and said it could not be repaired.

• When the shopkeeper asked how the phone broke, Gu Chen said he had accidentally crushed it.
• The shopkeeper compared Gu Chen with the missing-person notice and noticed their strong resemblance.
• The shopkeeper felt an oppressive aura from Gu Chen and hesitated with his finger near the button that would summon the City Defense Army.

The shopkeeper questioned Gu Chen about his name and Martial Soul while a middle-aged man hurried him away. The shopkeeper suspected the pair were hiding something as they left with their phones.

• The shopkeeper asked Gu Chen his name, and Gu Chen introduced himself as Di Cang.
• The shopkeeper asked about Gu Chen's Martial Soul, but Gu Chen did not know what one was, so the shopkeeper decided he was not the person in the missing-person notice.
• The middle-aged man interrupted the questioning and steered Gu Chen toward the door, hoping to keep him from revealing more.
• The shopkeeper called after them to take their phones, and Gu Chen returned to the table to retrieve his.
• After the pair left, the shopkeeper shut the door and worried that their business was more complicated than it appeared.

Gu Chen told the middle-aged man he probably had no Martial Soul and walked ahead rather than listen to an explanation. Elsewhere, the Plane Will fought back against Tang Hao, and Tang Hao discovered a huge piece of his body was missing.

• The middle-aged man questioned Gu Chen about his Martial Soul and explained what Martial Souls were.
• Gu Chen said he did not understand and walked ahead, while the middle-aged man hurried after him.

• Tang Hao, who had merged with more than half of the Plane Will, looked down and found a huge piece of flesh missing from his body.
• Tang Hao sent out his Divine Sense and saw that the sky had collapsed again.

The chapter explained how the disappearance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Golden Tree had damaged the continent and nearly wiped out the soul beasts.

Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbits thrived as Soul Beasts declined, while the aftermath of Yun Che’s battle devastated Sunset Forest and the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect blamed the Holy Spirit Cult for the conflict and put a bounty on its members, leaving the cult in an uproar.
