Chapter Summaries

Gu Chen refined the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone and gained another Dragon King-level bloodline, while Gu Yue gathered the Dragon Clan's remains. The Dragon God's curse still blocked Soul Beasts from godhood, so Gu Chen decided to create a godhood of his own and bind it to the Void Plane.

• Gu Chen examined the Mountain Dragon King's remains, and Gu Yue confirmed that its Dragon Soul could still be saved.
• Gu Chen took the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone to refine, while Gu Yue collected nearby Dragon Clan skeletons.
• After a month, Gu Chen finished refining the torso bone, adding the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline to the four he already possessed.
• Gu Chen felt the Dragon God's curse begin to restrain him, though his human blood kept it from taking effect directly.
• Gu Chen decided to gather a godhood himself and bind it to the Void Plane.

Gu Chen pushed his body through a dangerous evolution, trying to form a Chaos Soul Core and seize greater power after a loved one was killed. The four Soul Cores began to stabilize under his pressure, and he hoped the transformation would carry him to the realm he sought.

• Gu Chen gathered opposing energies in his dantian and began forming a Chaos Soul Core, forcing his body to adapt even as it broke down.
• Gu Chen drew on heaven and earth origin energy and the Dragon Emperor Seal’s energy while condensing a Blood Essence Soul Core in his right elbow.
• Gu Chen released his Body Martial Soul and absorbed energy from the Dragon Tomb until his Soul Cores grew to equal size.
• Gu Chen’s four Soul Cores collided and cracked one another, but he used divine power to force them toward balance.
• Gu Chen poured his stored power of faith into the Chaos Soul Core and hoped the transformation would let him reach the realm he sought.

Gu Chen survived his apparent death by using the Heaven Mending Technique to reverse time, then told Gu Yue to have Na'er search the Dragon Tomb for the Dragon God Pillar and a descendant of the Fire Dragon King. With his embryonic divine position and fourth Soul Core stabilized, he prepared to seek the Dragon God Core and explained how a godhood might be formed and sustained without the God Realm.

• Gu Yue found Gu Chen's body exploding and reassembling, recognized the Heaven Mending Technique's reversal of spacetime, and embraced him after he recovered.
• Gu Chen said his embryonic divine position had appeared and his fourth Soul Core was stable, then asked Gu Yue to contact Na'er and have her search for the Dragon God Core and the Fire Dragon King's descendant.
• Gu Yue entered their shared Sea of Consciousness and told Na'er to search the Dragon Tomb for the Fire Dragon King's surviving descendant, who was likely still an egg.
• Gu Chen identified the descendant as Jia Lin, a future super-god-level powerhouse, while Gu Yue questioned how he knew about her.
• Gu Chen showed Gu Yue his embryonic divine position and explained that people could create divine positions or become gods without the God Realm, though stabilizing a position would require facing the universe's laws.

Gu Chen brought Gu Yuena and Na'er toward the Dragon God's Dragon Cloud, intending to help Gu Yuena absorb it, but an oppressive danger from his Dragon Clan bloodline made him stop short. He sent Gu Yuena ahead with the Dragon Emperor Seal and searched the area, yet still could not find the Dragon God's Dragon Soul.

• Gu Chen speculated that divine seats could become shackles and blamed the Dragon God for the long-lasting curse that prevented Soul Beasts from becoming gods.
• Na'er returned through a spatial gate carrying a crimson dragon egg, and Gu Chen examined the young Fire Dragon King inside and planned to hatch Jia Lin at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Gu Chen, Gu Yue, and Na'er headed toward the center of the Dragon Tomb to find the Dragon God, while discussing the Dragon God Pillar and the Dragon Clan Dharma Blade.

• Gu Chen handed the Dragon Emperor Seal to Gu Yuena and asked her to absorb the Dragon God's Dragon Cloud while he waited behind.
• Gu Chen searched the surrounding void, sand, and bones with his Double Pupils, but could not locate the Dragon God's Dragon Soul.

Gu Chen was unexpectedly forced to accept the Dragon God Nine Trials, and the Dragon God tried to seize his body to rebuild the Divine Dragon Realm. Gu Chen resisted by repeatedly destroying and restoring himself, leaving the struggle unresolved as Gu Yuena neared awakening.

• Gu Chen sorted the Soul Bones from Na'er's portable space, then a nine-colored crystal struck his forehead and activated the Dragon God Nine Trials.

• The Dragon God recognized Gu Chen from a possible future encounter and attacked to take over his body.
• As Gu Yuena's absorption slowed, Gu Chen repeatedly used God Suppressor on himself, destroying and restoring his body and Sea of Consciousness to wear down the Dragon God.

Gu Chen repeatedly destroyed his body and Sea of Consciousness to weaken and kill the Dragon God's soul, despite the severe pain and risk. As enemies gathered outside the Dragon Tomb, he identified the Abyssal Emperor Lie and the Black Empress as targets, while the Dragon God questioned why it had clung to life.

• Gu Chen recognized the Abyssal Emperor Lie and the Black Empress, adding them to his list of targets for devouring the Abyssal Demon Dragon's remains.
• Gu Chen told the Dragon God that its past deeds deserved condemnation and that its legacy would be buried, and the Dragon God wondered why it had clung to life.

Gu Chen told Gu Yuena that the Dragon God had caused the Dragon Clan’s destruction and Soul Beasts’ decline, then revealed that the Dragon God had only just truly died in his Sea of Consciousness. Gu Yuena struggled to absorb the truth as Gu Chen recovered from his injuries.

The memories ended with the Dragon God looking at the devastation he had caused and questioning whether anything he had done mattered.

• Gu Yuena struggled to process the Dragon God’s deception, and Gu Chen soothed her before falling asleep from his injuries.
• Gu Chen’s dream showed the Dragon God’s birth alongside the Purple Desolation Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon, followed by an encounter with a dying, immensely powerful version of Gu Chen.

• Seeing the fallen Dragon Clan and Dragon Kings, the Dragon God questioned whether his efforts to protect them had ever had meaning.

Gu Chen awoke after a month of recovery in the Dragon Tomb, then left despite Gu Yuena's worries to confront the Abyssal Sage King. He emerged badly injured as the Abyssal Sage King attacked, while both understood that their clash was part of a larger struggle over the planes.

• Gu Chen woke from a month-long unconsciousness with Gu Yuena beside him and found that his Sea of Consciousness had nearly recovered, though his body still leaked divine power.
• Gu Yuena showed Gu Chen the Dragon God Core, and they agreed to use it to gather up the Dragon Tomb and take it with them.
• Gu Chen warned Gu Yuena that he needed to check the outside world and protect the Butian Sect from the Abyssal Sage King and the Plane Master, then persuaded her to let him leave.
• Gu Chen passed through the Dragon God Core's doorway and dodged the Abyssal Sage King's Heavenly Saint Abyss Halberd as soon as he emerged.
• Gu Chen and the Abyssal Sage King faced each other with open killing intent and greed, each expecting their clash to weaken the other ahead of a plane invasion war.

Gu Chen fought the Abyssal Sage King and three Abyssal Emperors despite being badly weakened by his previous injuries. He rapidly slaughtered the Abyssal creatures and Scythe Emperor, then prepared to finish the remaining enemies before his body gave out.

• The Abyssal Sage King brought Emperor Lie, Ling Emperor, Scythe Emperor, and countless Abyssal creatures to confront Gu Chen, and noticed that Gu Chen was in poor condition.
• Gu Chen summoned the Fate Heavenly Ring, severed its golden threads, and caused the Abyssal creatures to collapse and die, then absorbed their energy.

• Gu Chen pulled Scythe Emperor out of hiding and used Twilight of the Gods to reduce him to a skeleton, keeping his scythes.
• Gu Chen revealed that divine power was tearing through his already vulnerable body and said he needed only two moves to kill the Abyssal Sage King and Emperor Lie.

Gu Chen killed the Abyssal Sage King and Emperor Lie, but his injuries left him near his limit. Tang Hao arrived with Niu Tian and Titan, and Gu Chen prepared to face them.

• The Abyssal Sage King attacked Gu Chen with the Heavenly Saint Abyss Halberd, and Gu Chen answered with the God-Slaying Spear as God Rank auras drew powerful fighters across the continent.

• Tang Hao descended with his Clear Sky Hammer and music playing, accompanied by Niu Tian and Titan, as Gu Chen recognized them and turned his killing intent toward them.

• Gu Chen rushed to finish Titan, swept Niu Tian aside with the God-Slaying Spear, then readied a punch as Niu Tian emerged from space and sent him flying.

Gu Chen defeated the Titan Giant Ape and crippled Niu Tian while fighting Tang Hao, who used Ring Detonation. After the battle left Gu Chen near death, he escaped into the Void Plane as powerful fighters arrived at the ruined battlefield.

• Gu Chen killed the Titan Giant Ape by piercing its eye and blasting through its head with the combined power of his four Spirit Cores.

• Dozens of powerful figures arrived at the devastated battlefield and found shattered earth, ruined ley lines, and scattered remains.

While recovering from his battle with the Abyssal Sage King and Tang Hao, Gu Chen considered the Demon Plane’s proposed alliance and sensed that Fate pointed toward a conflict involving the younger generation. Two months later, the planes remained mostly calm, Void had grown stronger, and Gu Chen had regained about half his strength while continuing to cultivate.

• Gu Chen recuperated beneath sunlight in the Butian Sect and used the Plane Master’s authority to inspect a Demon Monarch who had arrived to propose an alliance.
• Gu Chen told his Vice Sect Master to decide whether to accept the alliance, then suspected he could eventually use the Demon Plane for his own plans.
• Gu Chen consulted the Fate Heavenly Ring, which gave him the words “the younger generation,” and he wondered whether the planes would arrange another youth conflict.
• Over the next two months, the four planes avoided major battles, Void absorbed new regions, and Gu Yuena refined the Dragon Tomb for possible integration.
• Gu Chen recovered to about fifty percent strength, increased his Soul Crystals to roughly twenty-five trillion, and found his cultivation and Double Pupils nearing limits.

The Butian Sect leaders negotiated a supposed alliance with the Demon Monarch, then Gu Chen killed the Demon Monarch’s clone and ordered Zhu Zhao to refine it into pills. Gu Chen also discussed Liu Yu’s evolved martial soul, while Liu Yu complained about being left to manage the sect.

• The Demon Monarch demanded a share of the Plane Origin in exchange for an alliance, and Liu Yu agreed to an eighty-twenty split.

• Yun Che asked if Gu Chen feared the Demon Monarch’s anger, and Gu Chen said the Demon Monarch had effectively agreed to be used for medicine.
• Liu Yu complained about managing the Butian Sect, and Gu Chen asked whether his martial soul had evolved.

Gu Chen visited Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, saw Tang Wulin was thriving with his adoptive parents, and left him a golden book and the Light Dragon King's soul bone without meeting him. While walking with Gu Yuena, Gu Chen explained that he regarded Tang Wulin as a friend despite his identity as Tang San's son, but would show no mercy if Tang Wulin opposed him.

• Gu Chen visited Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, who lived with Tang Wulin in a small town in the Void Plane.
• Gu Chen heard Tang Wulin talking with his parents and learned that the fifteen-year-old had reached rank 81 Spirit Douluo.
• Gu Chen left without meeting Tang Wulin, who glimpsed his departing figure and found a glowing book and the Light Dragon King's soul bone by the door.
• Gu Yuena asked Gu Chen why he cared about Tang Wulin, and Gu Chen said he did not blame Tang Wulin for being Tang San's son.
• Gu Chen told Gu Yuena that he would not regret sparing Tang Wulin, though he would show no mercy if Tang Wulin stood against him.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena agreed that, once their larger goals were settled, they would represent humanity and soul beasts in a contest to determine their respective positions. Gu Yuena then used the Dragon God Core to overpower him and initiate an intimate encounter, but Gu Chen broke free and turned the tables.

• Gu Chen reminded Gu Yuena that their relationship could not obstruct their goals and proposed that they compete for the humans' and soul beasts' interests after everything was under control.
• Gu Yuena reluctantly promised to face Gu Chen as the soul beasts' representative, while he would represent humanity.
• Gu Yuena immobilized Gu Chen with the Dragon God Core and pinned him to a bed, explaining that she wanted to resolve what had happened when he left the Dragon Tomb.
• Gu Yuena bound Gu Chen and began undressing him, but Gu Chen used his Double Pupils to destroy the bindings, embrace her, and reverse their positions.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena consummated their relationship, and their intense union strengthened both of them and elevated Gu Chen’s Desolation Extinction Dragon God bloodline. As they bathed afterward, Gu Yuena wondered whether she might become pregnant, leaving Gu Chen to consider her question.

• Gu Yuena undressed and embraced Gu Chen, and the two made love behind a barrier.
• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena’s union boosted their power, bringing Gu Yuena to about level 136 and restoring Gu Chen to seventy percent strength.
• Afterward, Gu Chen carried the exhausted Gu Yuena to the bathroom and washed her hair as they bathed together.
• Gu Yuena pressed her swollen lower abdomen and asked Gu Chen what would happen if she became pregnant.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena spent the night together, then Gu Chen considered the coming plane war and the Dragon God Divinity he had obtained. When he tried to tell Gu Yuena about it, she split into Gu Yue and Queen Na'er, who demanded to know why he kept calling Gu Yue by name.

• Gu Chen and Gu Yuena agreed not to use protection and returned to their bedroom after bathing.
• Gu Chen replaced their ruined bed, held Gu Yuena as they slept, and thought about the coming plane war and ways to grow stronger.
• Gu Chen recalled that Xie Xie had found a shattered Godhead and decided the Emerald Dragon King spirit bone would not help him.
• Gu Chen considered who should receive the Dragon God Divinity and began telling Gu Yuena he had obtained it.
• Gu Yuena split into Gu Yue and Queen Na'er, and Queen Na'er asked Gu Chen why he kept saying Gu Yue's name.

Gu Chen showed Gu Yue and Na'er the Dragon God Seed, and they agreed it should eventually go to Di Tian. After a punishing night together and a year spent healing from his injuries, Gu Chen recovered his combat strength, while Gu Yuena remained frustrated by his restraint.

• Gu Chen told Gu Yue and Na'er that they were both his wings, then revealed the Dragon God Seed and offered it to them.
• Gu Yue refused the divine position, and Gu Chen decided to give the seed to Di Tian when the time was right.
• Gu Chen, Gu Yue, and Na'er spent the night together, leaving all three exhausted by morning.
• Over the next year, Gu Chen cut away injured flesh and regenerated it to remove the lingering divine power from his wounds.
• Gu Chen's injuries healed and his combat strength returned to its peak, while Gu Yuena remained unsatisfied because he would not go further with her.
