Chapter Summaries

Gu Chen had Di Tian conceal the traces of Long Yeyue’s defeat, then arranged for the news of her death to reach Qiangu Dongfeng through Ghost Emperor. After leaving the scene, Gu Chen studied how to strengthen his power and received Gu Yue’s Godhead of Creation to help him develop a creation Soul Core.

• Gu Chen used the Fate Heavenly Ring and a Purple Lotus to alter Long Yeyue’s soul, cognition, and memories, intending to make her his subordinate.
• Gu Chen and Gu Yue left before Shrek’s people could arrive, and Gu Chen reflected on the Soul Core he needed to condense.
• Gu Yue sent Gu Chen her Godhead of Creation, and he began studying and simulating its energy.

Yun Ming ordered Shrek to publicly seek information about the missing Cai Yue'er and Long Yeyue, suspecting that a powerful enemy was targeting the academy. Meanwhile, Gu Chen continued forming a Creation Soul Core beneath Aolai City as Shrek unknowingly remained trapped within his Nine Dragon Sealing Heaven Array.

• Yun Ming examined Long Yeyue's charred Battle Armor fragment and concluded that she had likely fallen.
• Yun Ming ordered the Sea God Pavilion Elders to publicize the disappearances and offer a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone for information about the two women or their killer.
• Yun Ming argued that Shrek should control the news rather than let others expose it, and suspected an opponent as powerful as himself had attacked the academy.
• Yun Ming left with Ya Li, while the Nine Dragon Sealing Heaven Array still surrounded Shrek and its impending danger remained unknown to them.
• Beneath Aolai City, Gu Chen formed a Creation Soul Core and planned to place it in his upper dantian before moving it later.

Gu Chen completed his Creation Soul Core and told Gu Yue he would make Tang Wulin surrender the Golden Dragon King godhood rather than kill him. Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Ah Yin continued overpowering the Douluo Continent’s Plane Consciousness, which appeared ready to take desperate action as it neared defeat.

• Gu Chen formed his Creation Soul Core, reached ten trillion Soul Crystals, and gained a vast lifespan and surging life energy.
• Gu Yue asked whether Gu Chen would kill Tang Wulin, and Gu Chen said he would take Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King godhood but let him live.
• Gu Chen considered how to save Ya Li from dying alongside Yun Ming, while Gu Yue accepted his plan for Tang Wulin.
• In the starry sky, Tang Hao attacked the Plane Consciousness with Sea God and Asura God power while Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Bind restrained it.
• The Plane Consciousness, close to falling after months of being beaten back, looked toward Gu Chen and began a desperate plan that alarmed Tang Hao.

Tang Hao absorbed half of the Plane Consciousness and learned that the Silver Dragon King and another Child of the Plane had emerged, then fell into a deep sleep after telling Ah Yin to find Tang Wulin. At Shrek, Gu Yue recognized the Golden Tree as the former Life Core, and Gu Chen planned to use it to create an anti-divine weapon.

• Tang Hao split the Plane Consciousness with his Sea God power, absorbed half of it, and watched the other half escape through a rift.
• Tang Hao learned from the Plane Consciousness's memories about the Silver Dragon King, Tang Wulin, and a mysterious nearby plane, then decided to find Tang Wulin before falling asleep.
• Gu Yue sensed someone watching her near the Golden Tree and realized it might be the Life Core removed from the Lake of Life twenty thousand years earlier.
• Gu Chen told Gu Yue he wanted to reverse the Golden Tree's life and light attributes to create a weapon capable of killing gods.
• Gu Yue admitted she could not reverse attributes but promised to help Gu Chen make god-slaying weapons.

Gu Chen began the operation to destroy Shrek, planning to take the Golden Tree before the twelfth-rank cannon fell and keeping Leng Yaozhu unaware of Shrek’s fate. Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit Cult prepared the cannon in Shrek City, and Qiangu Dongfeng watched from the Spirit Pagoda as the attack approached.

• Gu Chen thanked Gu Yue, messaged Leng Yaozhu, and took Gu Yue back toward class as the operation began.
• Gu Chen decided the Golden Tree could be dismantled and taken before the cannon struck, while Yun Ming held out.
• Holy Spirit Cult members prepared the twelfth-rank God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon in Shrek City, with the Four Heavenly Kings present to ensure Yun Ming fell.
• The Evil Soul Masters handling the cannon discussed their fear of it exploding and anticipated feeding on the souls and negative emotions caused by Shrek’s destruction.
• Qiangu Dongfeng watched Shrek City from the Spirit Pagoda and recalled his hatred of Long Yeyue and Yun Ming.

Yun Ming sensed an approaching crisis that could threaten Shrek and asked Ya Li to take the students and Na'er away if he fell. Gu Chen prepared for the coming confrontation, but the chapter ended as Ya Li arrived and saw his purple-gold armor.

• Yun Ming told Ya Li that Shrek might face a life-or-death crisis and asked her to evacuate the students, the Elders, and Na'er if he could not hold on.
• Yun Ming agreed that Gu Chen could accompany Na'er when Ya Li took her away from Shrek.
• Gu Chen watched Yun Ming from Shrek City and weighed his guilt over the plan, holding a jar containing black and white energy.
• Gu Yue embraced Gu Chen, and Na'er and Su Mengchan arrived and teased him for being with Gu Yue.
• Ya Li appeared, discovered Na'er's exceptional spatial abilities, and saw Gu Chen wearing a purple-gold suit of armor.

Gu Chen subdued Ya Li and explained that he intended to take the fruit of Douluo Continent’s Life Core. As his group prepared to act, he spotted a Level 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon aimed in their direction.

• Gu Chen knocked Ya Li’s soul from her body, stored her body, and then restrained and questioned her.
• Gu Chen told Ya Li that the Tang Sect might be unable to help Shrek, then sealed her consciousness and stored her soul.

• Gu Yue and Na’er bickered while Gu Chen surveyed the distant buildings with Double Pupils.
• Gu Chen detected a Level 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon and estimated that it would fire in about five minutes.

Gu Chen recognized Devour Heaven and Earth's Core Array and activated the Nine Dragon Sealing Heaven Array to protect Shrek City. When the Federation's ultimate weapon descended, the barrier trapped everyone inside, leaving Shrek's defenders struggling to save the students.

• Gu Chen identified the hidden experts around Shrek and prepared to activate the Nine Dragon Sealing Heaven Array with Gu Yue, Na'er, and Su Mengchan.
• Gu Chen summoned a Purple Desolation Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon bloodline avatar as the array drew power from its participants and formed a barrier over Shrek City.
• Chen Xinjie tried to enter Shrek City but was blocked by the golden barrier.
• Devour Heaven and Earth appeared over Shrek, and Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming realized that the Federation's ultimate weapon had been deployed against the academy.
• Yun Ming ordered the Shrek Elders to evacuate the students, but the barrier prevented them from leaving.
• Yun Ming attacked the Sealing Heaven Formation with Qingtian, Sun Shooting, trying to protect Shrek's students.

Gu Chen opened the Heaven-Sealing Array and let Na'er take the students away, then prepared to move against the Golden Tree under the identity of Di Cang. Yun Ming unleashed his full power to protect those left behind as Ha Luosa and Ghost Emperor attacked them.

• Gu Chen warned Na'er that releasing Shrek's survivors could leave powerful enemies to threaten the Soul Beasts, but she promised to act against them if necessary.
• Gu Chen calmed Na'er's bloodline rampage and opened the Heaven-Sealing Array, allowing her to take the others through a tear in space.
• Gu Chen admitted he could not bring himself to order the survivors killed and put on a Human Skin Mask before heading for the Golden Tree as Di Cang.
• Yun Ming activated his Four-Word Battle Armor and Spirit Rings, revealing his strength and blasting Underworld Emperor and Ghost Emperor out of the spatial interlayer.
• Ha Luosa and Ghost Emperor attacked the students, but Yun Ming struck Ghost Emperor with the Qingtian Spear and wounded his hand.

Yun Ming used a sacred-energy clone to hold off Ghost Emperor while his true body prepared to sacrifice himself to save Shrek. As Ha Luosa threatened Wu Changkong, Di Cang appeared, revealed his Quasi-God strength, and faced Ha Luosa’s attack.

• Yun Ming’s sacred-energy clone repeatedly struck Ghost Emperor, while Yun Ming’s true body prepared to unleash a final attack and reflected on Shrek’s fate.

• Di Cang appeared and erased Ha Luosa’s Underworld Aria before it could hit Wu Changkong.
• Di Cang identified himself as the Butian Sect Leader and revealed his Quasi-God cultivation.
• Ha Luosa challenged Di Cang, unleashed Underworld Rebirth and its twelve black gates, and Di Cang judged his darkness and reincarnation abilities.

Di Cang revealed a powerful Qilin spirit and crushed Ha Luosa’s undead knights and Pluto Armor with overwhelming pressure. Ha Luosa launched another attack, then rushed into close combat, convinced Di Cang was weaker at close range.

• Ha Luosa summoned twelve undead knights, each as powerful as a Super Douluo, and they surrounded the battlefield.
• Di Cang formed a Qilin behind him and used its pressure to shatter the knights’ bones and break Ha Luosa’s Pluto Armor.
• Ha Luosa released his Martial Soul Avatar and struck with Underworld, Aria, but Di Cang dodged by using spatial power.
• Ha Luosa pursued Di Cang and raised his sword, believing his opponent’s close-combat ability was poor because he had not revealed his Battle Armor.

Di Cang killed Ha Luosa and rescued Tang Wulin and Xie Xie from the Heaven-Sealing Array, while Yun Ming faced the destruction of the Golden Tree. As Devour Heaven and Earth devastated the tree, a blue-haired figure appeared and confronted Ah Yin over her plan to replace the Life Core.

• Di Cang killed Ha Luosa with a single punch and flew to the Golden Tree, leaving Chen Xinjie wary of his power.
• Yun Ming saw Tang Wulin and Xie Xie being drained by the Heaven-Sealing Array and sent his golden projection to pull them out, causing the array to vanish.
• Di Cang observed that the Golden Tree held the consumed souls of past Sea God Pavilion Masters and watched Devour Heaven and Earth explode against it.
• The Golden Tree cracked under the blast, and Yun Ming disappeared in the explosion as its defenses failed to protect Ah Yin and the Life Core.
• A blue-haired figure appeared above the Golden Tree, resisted the Level 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon, and accused Ah Yin of planning to replace the Life Core after rebirth.

Gu Chen, disguised as “Di Cang,” killed Ah Yin, took the Golden Tree, and destroyed Shrek Academy and Shrek City. He returned to Gu Yue and Na'er, where their bickering resumed as Na'er waited for him to make food.

• “Di Cang” stabbed Ah Yin, told her Tang Hao was still asleep, and crushed her body into a life seed, leaving her spirit ring and spirit bone behind.
• “Di Cang” uprooted the Golden Tree and escaped through torn space as Devour Heaven and Earth obliterated Shrek Academy and Shrek City.
• Gu Chen returned to Gu Yue and Na'er with the Golden Tree, planted it in a flowerpot, and went to the kitchen to prepare food for the hungry Na'er.
• Gu Yue mocked Na'er's appetite, and Na'er teased her about being thin before Gu Yue turned Na'er's golden hair silver again.

Gu Chen reunited with the unconscious Tang Wulin and removed the Golden Dragon King's God Core from him. After giving Tang Wulin some of his own blood, Gu Chen called out Tang Yin, who had been pretending to sleep.

• Gu Chen served bone noodles to Gu Yue, Na'er, and Hajina after finding Gu Yue pinning Na'er.
• Qiangu Dongfeng learned Yun Ming had survived with severe injuries and worried that Shrek and the Butian Sect remained threats.
• Tang Wulin woke briefly in a cave, recognized Gu Chen, and passed out again after hearing he would wake as a girl.
• Gu Chen examined Tang Wulin, took the Golden Dragon King's God Core, and replaced some of its essence with his own blood.
• Gu Chen told the seemingly sleeping Tang Yin to stop pretending.

Gu Chen sent Tang Yin toward a path to gain power and seek revenge on Tang San, then left with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to help them grow stronger. Back in his room, he examined Soul Crystals, a Soul Core, and the Core of Destruction while considering new ways to develop power.

• Gu Chen gave Tang Yin cultivation resources and told him to go to the Star Luo Continent, asking him to help when the Abyss invaded.
• Gu Chen suggested that Tang Yin pursue the Sea God inheritance, seek power on Devil Island, or find the Demon Empress to gain strength for revenge on Tang San.
• Gu Chen took Tang Wulin and Xie Xie away, leaving Tang Yin to consider his own path.
• Gu Chen placed Tang Wulin and Xie Xie in a guest room and studied a Soul Crystal and Soul Core, considering whether Blood Essence Soul Rings could be made in batches.
• Gu Chen examined the Core of Destruction and reflected on the origins of the Dragon God's divine sparks.

Gu Chen attempted to condense a Destruction Soul Core but found that his immense Soul Power made the process dangerously difficult without Immortal Spiritual Qi. He used the Blue Silver Emperor's Seed of Life to seek a way to balance the core, and Ah Yin agreed to help if he spared Wulin.

• Gu Chen judged that annihilation was too unstable to use for a Soul Core and began compressing Destruction Power instead.
• Gu Chen struggled to stabilize the Destruction Soul Core because matching its energy required more power than he could safely supply.
• Gu Chen paused the condensation and seized the Blue Silver Emperor's Seed of Life, hoping it contained Immortal Spiritual Qi.
• Gu Chen burned the seed's shell with Destruction Power and threatened to harm its soul if it refused to cooperate.
• Ah Yin offered Gu Chen what he wanted on the condition that he did not hurt Wulin, and Gu Chen sent her into his world to prevent her from self-destructing.

Gu Chen brought Gu Yue to the Void Plane and offered it as a home for the Soul Beasts, then extracted the Immortal Spiritual Qi from Ah Yin to advance his cultivation. He ended by examining the weakened Plane Consciousness of Douluo Continent, which feared it would have to fall into slumber.

• Gu Chen transferred his house and underground space to the Void Plane, where Gu Yue discovered he owned the plane and admired its potential for restoring the Soul Beasts.
• Gu Chen offered to let the Soul Beasts move to the Void Plane, and Gu Yue agreed to explain the offer to Di Tian and bring Life Gold as rent.
• Gu Chen went to an altar, suppressed Ah Yin, and extracted all the Immortal Spiritual Qi from her soul before sealing her in a jar.
• Gu Chen planned to use the Immortal Spiritual Qi to condense another Soul Core and break through to Quasi-God, then eventually reach God Official.
• Gu Chen brought out the weakened Plane Consciousness of Douluo Continent, which said it might have to fall into slumber like the usurper.

Gu Chen agreed to use his mastery of time and space to try to bring the Imperial Auspicious Beast back and help the endangered Soul Beast race. He planned to wait until he condensed his second Soul Core, then began gathering energy to condense his Destruction Soul Core.

• The Plane Consciousness warned Gu Chen that the Soul Beasts’ luck was fading and that their race needed an Imperial Auspicious Beast to survive.
• Gu Chen proposed traveling into the past to retrieve the Imperial Auspicious Beast, explaining that he had studied time and space through the Heaven Mending Technique.
• The Plane Consciousness agreed to the attempt and told Gu Chen to leave the Fate Heavenly Ring behind as an anchor for his return.
• Gu Chen decided to try after condensing his second Soul Core and returned to his cultivation room to activate the Spirit Gathering Array.

Gu Chen prepared to travel back in time to bring the Imperial Auspicious Beast back, while the Plane Consciousness helped him seize control of Douluo Continent’s time origin. The world froze, and the Ghost Emperor revealed that he had arranged for three Abyssal Quasi-Gods to help kill Gu Chen, though Ha Luosa doubted they could win.

• Gu Chen used the Golden Dragon King’s Core of Destruction to strengthen the Fate Heavenly Ring, then prepared to retrieve the Imperial Auspicious Beast.
• The Plane Consciousness separated a silver ball of light and entered the Fate Heavenly Ring to guide Gu Chen.

• Ha Luosa recalled how Gu Chen had overwhelmed him and questioned whether Gu Chen was human.
• The Ghost Emperor told Ha Luosa that three Quasi-Gods from the Abyss would assist them in killing Gu Chen and declared they had a one-hundred-percent chance of victory.
• Ha Luosa rejected the Ghost Emperor’s claim, pointing out that the five of them would only be Quasi-Gods.

Gu Chen tested Space-Time Travel and entered the River of Time to search for the era when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been born. After glimpsing future battles and a dragon being attacked, he pursued Electrolux's falling soul fragments and descended above the Star Dou Forest.

• Gu Chen prepared for the journey, left a "Do Not Disturb" plaque on his chamber, and entered the silver doorway without the Golden Dragon King God Core.
• In the River of Time, Gu Chen saw Tang San fighting Tang Yin, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, then watched a black dragon named Hajime being attacked by an azure dragon and a Giant Ape.
• Gu Chen swam upstream through the River of Time, searching for a period when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had already been born.
• Gu Chen spotted Electrolux's soul fragments falling into the river, transformed into a small purple dragon, and followed them.
• Gu Chen descended above the Star Dou Forest in a burst of multicolored radiance.
