Chapter Summaries

Di Tian simulated Qian Renxue’s life as the Angel God and watched her birth into Spirit Hall amid Qian Xunji’s control of Bibi Dong. He remained unable to interfere, then witnessed Qian Xunji’s failed attempt to capture Ah Yin and his death at Bibi Dong’s hands.

• Di Tian selected Qian Renxue as his simulation target and entered the past without altering the current world.
• Bibi Dong gave birth to Qian Renxue and rejected the child, while Qian Xunji named her and claimed her as Spirit Hall’s Young Master.
• Di Tian found himself confined to observing Qian Renxue’s life and unable to touch or influence anyone.
• Qian Xunji led Spirit Hall forces to capture Ah Yin, but Tang Hao fought them off and Qian Xunji returned wounded and empty-handed.
• Bibi Dong ambushed Qian Xunji and devoured him with her Devouring Soul Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji and claimed the position of Pope, while Qian Daoliu chose to spare her after the Angel God marked Qian Renxue as its successor. Their uneasy separation left Qian Daoliu preparing to raise his granddaughter and both divine inheritances set to determine their future conflict.

• Qian Daoliu confronted Bibi Dong as she devoured Qian Xunji, and Bibi Dong admitted she had pushed her dying husband toward death.
• Bibi Dong condemned Qian Xunji for what he had done to her, while Qian Daoliu acknowledged that he had known and allowed it.
• The Angel God marked the sleeping Qian Renxue, prompting Qian Daoliu to restrain his anger and appoint Bibi Dong as Pope under three conditions.
• Qian Daoliu took Qian Xunji's body and brought Qian Renxue to the Worship Hall, while Bibi Dong ordered the Elders to announce her succession and declare Spirit Hall an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect.
• Qian Daoliu vowed to train Qian Renxue and wait until she and Bibi Dong completed their divine trials before settling their grudges.

At six, Qian Renxue underwent her Martial Soul awakening and received overwhelming recognition from the Angel God, who appeared to reserve the Angel God Position for her. Bibi Dong witnessed the divine display from the Pope Palace and was left shaken by the favor bestowed on the child she resented.

• Di Tian watched Qian Renxue grow up and found that neither his attempts to influence her nor his efforts to skip ahead changed her path.
• Qian Daoliu presided over Qian Renxue's six-year-old Martial Soul awakening in the Worship Hall, surrounded by Spirit Hall's powerful Elders.
• The Angel God Statue awakened and bathed Qian Renxue in divine light, causing her Angel Mark to shine and real Six-Winged Angel wings to emerge.
• An Elder tested Qian Renxue and announced that she had Innate Soul Power Level 20, while Qian Daoliu and the other Elders knelt in worship.
• Bibi Dong sensed the divine power from the Pope Palace, saw Qian Renxue's six-winged silhouette, and trembled with pain and hatred at the Angel God's choice.

Bibi Dong reacted to Qian Renxue’s Angel God inheritance by separating the Pope Palace from the Worship Hall and reaffirming her intent to destroy Spirit Hall. Meanwhile, Di Tian began assigning trades to the Star Dou Great Forest’s powerful Soul Beasts and ordered Scarlet King to study Soul Tools.

• Bibi Dong refused to congratulate Qian Renxue and ordered the Pope Palace and Worship Hall to operate separately.
• Qian Daoliu embraced Qian Renxue after her awakening, while she wondered whether her mother would come; Di Tian failed to interact with her or the Angel God’s power.
• Di Tian considered how to benefit from Qian Renxue’s Godhood inheritance but found he could not affect her as an observer.
• Di Tian decided that Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old had to learn trades, assigning Xiong Jun to forging and Scarlet King to Soul Tools.
• Di Tian reminded Scarlet King that Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, and Xiong Jun were all working, but Scarlet King protested that Soul Tools should be studied by Psychic Soul Beasts.

Di Tian forced Scarlet King to learn Soul Tools from Elder Lin, a human Soul Engineer, and Scarlet King began his lessons at the forest’s eastern waterfall. His first attempt at controlling a flame melted a Soul Tool, so Elder Lin planned to start with the fundamentals.

• Di Tian told Scarlet King that his fire attribute could help him forge Soul Tool cores and ordered him to study under a human Soul Engineer.
• Di Tian arranged for Scarlet King to visit Elder Lin’s workshop twice a week, with Bi Ji’s Mark of Life allowing Di Tian to monitor the situation.
• Scarlet King went to the waterfall at dawn and met Elder Lin, who was waiting with a Soul Tool blueprint.
• Elder Lin asked Scarlet King to activate a Soul Heating Disk with a tiny flame, but Scarlet King overheated and warped it.
• Elder Lin explained that Scarlet King would need to learn precise flame control and introduced the method of repairing faulty Core Formations by remelting them.

Di Tian forced Scarlet King and other Psychic Soul Beasts to study human Soul Tool technology, warning that their kind could one day be confined in zoos. Scarlet King struggled through a lesson on Soul Tool core arrays, and Elder Lin waited to see whether he had understood.

• Scarlet King returned from his first lesson with a Soul Tool textbook and complained that studying was harder than fighting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Di Tian gathered Psychic Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old and ordered them to study Soul Tool fields, offering protection in the Core Circle to those who complied and banishment to the Outer Area to those who refused.
• Wan Yao Wang tended the Immortal Herbs and privately enjoyed Scarlet King's misery, while Di Tian built a human-style residential and study area in the Mixed Area for the students.
• Scarlet King recalled that Di Tian had extinguished his flames and warned him that soul beasts might end up in human zoos unless they learned Soul Tool technology.
• Elder Lin taught Scarlet King the basics of Soul Tool core arrays, and after an hour asked whether Scarlet King understood.

Scarlet King struggled to learn Soul Tool arrays and material science under Di Tian’s new education program, while Di Tian developed a brightly lit study area in the Star Dou Great Forest. The chapter ended with Scarlet King learning that its new schedule included night study.

• Elder Lin tried to teach Scarlet King to draw a simple Soul Tool array, but Scarlet King lost control of its Soul Power and blew up half the classroom.
• Scarlet King returned to its nest and struggled with homework, biting Cold Iron Silver and guessing that it was suitable for a Defense-Type Soul Tool’s outer shell.
• Di Tian surveyed the newly built Study Area, while Wan Yao Wang managed the Immortal Herb Garden and wondered why Di Tian wanted Soul Beasts to learn human technology.
• Di Tian woke Scarlet King at dawn, and Elder Lin announced a Human Academy Style Schedule with classes, an afternoon session, and night study.
• Scarlet King widened all six eyes in disbelief when it heard that night study was part of the schedule.

Scarlet King struggled through a practical Soul Tool lesson, destroying the equipment when his Soul Power overwhelmed the array. Di Tian rewarded the hard-studying Soul Beasts by adding an earlier morning study period and a morning run.

• Scarlet King learned that failing an assessment would send him to patrol the Outer Area, then reluctantly attended a practical class on Soul Tool Core Arrays.
• Scarlet King spent two hours drawing an array, but overloaded it with Soul Power and caused an explosion that wrecked the laboratory.
• Scarlet King rested outside the Study Area and missed the Auspicious Beast after his disastrous lesson.
• Di Tian reviewed the Simulator, continued making Soul Tools, and exchanged letters with Gu Yu, whose ideas had inspired Star Dou's study system.
• Di Tian decided to ease the Soul Beasts' stress by moving morning self-study earlier and adding a morning run.

Di Tian forced Yao Ling, Scarlet King, and other Soul Beasts to study Soul Tools as part of his effort to transform Star Dou. Yao Ling reluctantly returned to class, while the Study Area continued to fill with experiments, explosions, and Soul Power fluctuations.

• Yao Ling and Scarlet King suspected that someone, possibly Elder Lin, had influenced Di Tian to impose strict control and Soul Tool studies on the Soul Beasts.
• Yao Ling complained that her Soul Tool practice had burned her robes, while Scarlet King admitted that his studies were going poorly.
• Scarlet King's three heads argued that humans ruled through learning and invention, and that Di Tian wanted Soul Beasts to change how they fought.
• When Scarlet King offered Yao Ling a choice between studying and patrolling the Outer Area for a month, she picked up her metal plate and continued practicing.
• A sonic-attacking Soul Beast rang the lunch-break bell, and Scarlet King and Yao Ling headed to class as Soul Beasts across the Study Area tested their arrays.

Di Tian began teaching soul beasts to study Soul Tool technology so they could develop a path of their own, and Scarlet King struggled through months of lessons. Scarlet King eventually completed early projects and worked toward a simulated-combat training ground, still driven by fear of Di Tian.

• Di Tian told Bi Ji that soul beasts had to learn and adapt to human technology, beginning with Scarlet King and the others.
• Scarlet King repeatedly failed to engrave formations, but kept trying under Di Tian’s watch while the Study Area stayed lit through the night.
• A week later, Yao Ling showed Scarlet King her shockwave hammer and teased him as he studied a Soul Spotlight and formation diagrams.
• Scarlet King divided tasks among his three heads and, a month later, made a crude Soul Insulation Box that kept an Immortal Herb at a constant temperature.
• Three months later, Scarlet King carefully assembled the core of a Soul Training Ground as Elder Lin watched approvingly.

Scarlet King completed a Level 2 Soul Tool protective shield after three months and was told it had graduated. Elder Lin immediately presented more advanced blueprints, leaving Scarlet King to question whether its studies were really over.

• Scarlet King activated the shield on the metal core, and it held steady.
• Elder Lin inspected the array and confirmed the shield was stable and met the standard for a Level 2 Soul Tool.
• Elder Lin told Scarlet King it had graduated, and Scarlet King reflected on the three months and thirty-seven failed attempts it took to finish the core.
• Scarlet King thanked Elder Lin, who credited Di Tian and Scarlet King before producing more complex blueprints for further study.
• Scarlet King demanded that Elder Lin explain why its studies were continuing after graduation.

Scarlet King returned to Di Tian after three months of Soul Tool training, having earned Elder Lin’s mock graduation from senior kindergarten. Di Tian sent it back to continue studying in three days while Gu Yu completed another large Soul Tool delivery in Ming City.

• Elder Lin told Scarlet King it had graduated from senior kindergarten and should begin first grade, leaving it furious and dejected.
• Di Tian inspected the Soul Tools he had ordered through Gu Yu and dismissed Shrek Academy’s samples as overpriced knockoffs.
• Scarlet King delivered its Soul Training Core to Di Tian and reported Elder Lin’s verdict; Di Tian called its progress acceptable and praised it as the first Soul Beast to learn Soul Tools.
• Di Tian gave Scarlet King three days to rest before resuming lessons and considered adding monthly or weekly exams, nearly causing Scarlet King to stumble out of the hall.
• In Ming City, Gu Yu finished delivering Soul Tools and reflected that the Sun Moon Empire had believed his fabricated explanation for the orders.

Gu Yu continued selling low- and mid-tier Soul Tools to the Star Dou Great Forest through military channels, while the Sun Moon Empire accepted the profitable trade despite its suspicions. After another payment was processed, Gu Yu learned that most of the funds had been converted into rare metals and were ready for collection.

• Gu Yu received his fifth payment of the month while balancing Soul Tool studies under Kong Deming with his role as a middleman for the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The Sun Moon Empire's military investigated Gu Yu's claim that Dou Ling nobles were buying Soul Tools, then allowed the trade to continue because it brought profits and posed little technological risk.
• Di Tian expanded the transactions, sending gold and valuable Soul Beast materials, including hides, rare ores, and a thousand-year Spirit Bone.
• Lin Tao told Gu Yu that the latest three thousand Gold Soul Coins had been deposited, with seventy percent routed through hidden channels and exchanged for rare metals.

Lin Tao reported that the Sun Moon Empire wanted Soul Beast materials and rare ores in future trades, while Gu Yu considered why Di Tian was pursuing Soul Tool knowledge. A huge explosion struck Mingde Hall, and Gu Yu realized the Body Sect’s attack had begun.

• Lin Tao told Gu Yu that a military figure wanted future trades to include Spirit Bones, ten-thousand-year Soul Beast materials, and rare ores.
• Gu Yu agreed to relay the request and reflected that Di Tian might have come from the era of Legend of the Dragon King, when Soul Tools had reached their peak.
• Gu Yu reasoned that Soul Beasts could learn Soul Tool fundamentals through effort and time, even if they lacked the talent of Human Race Soul Engineers.
• An enormous explosion erupted beneath the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, shaking Ming City and lighting the sky with a fireball.
• Gu Yu suspected the Body Sect had attacked Mingde Hall and recognized the moment as when Huo Yuhao’s cheat arrived.

A coordinated explosion devastated Mingde Hall, killing many Soul Engineers while triggered barriers on their experimental benches saved some of those nearby. The chapter ended with Mingde Hall destroyed and its losses catastrophic.

• Multiple prearranged blasts erupted across Mingde Hall, vaporizing laboratories and killing Soul Engineers caught in the destruction.
• Protective barriers on experimental benches activated and shielded nearby researchers from the explosions.
• Survivors realized that Gu Yu had previously suggested installing the barriers, while Jing Hongchen had turned the proposal into a funded project requiring researchers to install their own.
• Soul Engineers without effective barriers, or who had stepped away from their benches, were killed by the blast.
• The explosion left Mingde Hall destroyed and its losses catastrophic.

After the explosion devastated Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao escaped the Body Sect’s massacre and seized a massive Soul Tool before its power awakened his second martial soul as an Ultimate Ice Ice Serpent. The chapter left him with a revived martial soul while Jing Hongchen battled Du Busi.

• A massive explosion destroyed much of Mingde Hall, but a protective barrier saved many Soul Engineering researchers, and Huo Yuhao survived in a sturdy auxiliary laboratory.
• Body Sect experts stormed the wreckage and slaughtered the survivors, while Jing Hongchen ordered a counterattack and charged at Du Busi.
• Huo Yuhao fled through Mingde Hall and found a fifteen-meter giant Soul Tool packed with unfamiliar Soul Arrays, then stored it in a Starlight Sapphire.
• A Body Sect Spirit Douluo confronted Huo Yuhao, who used Simulate to disguise himself as Du Busi and threw the God Sealing Platform at the attacker.
• The Spirit Douluo shattered the God Sealing Platform with his fist and was frozen by its ice, while its Ultimate Ice power entered Huo Yuhao and revived his second martial soul as an Ice Serpent.

Huo Yuhao watched the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo become an Ice Serpent Martial Soul girl who looked like Wang Qiu'er and called him Master. He learned that she had become his second Martial Soul, but neither he nor the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm understood why she had Wang Qiu'er's face.

• Huo Yuhao saw the God Sealing Platform shatter and a girl with Wang Qiu'er's face emerge from the embryo's light.
• The girl opened her eyes, called Huo Yuhao Master, and insisted that he was her Master when he objected.
• Huo Yuhao summoned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and demanded to know what had happened to the embryo and why the girl had fused with him.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized the girl was an Ice Serpent of at most twenty thousand years and had replaced Bing'er's place as Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm noticed the girl's resemblance to Wang Qiu'er and joked that four Wang Qiu'ers meant four times the happiness.

Huo Yuhao escaped the collapsing Mingde Hall after collecting the fragments of the God Sealing Platform, while Du Busi and the Body Sect wreaked havoc and withdrew. Jing Hongchen was left injured amid the ruins, furious at Du Busi and determined to take revenge.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Huo Yuhao that the underground base was collapsing, and Huo Yuhao gathered every fragment of the God Sealing Platform shell.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to survey Mingde Hall and saw widespread destruction, casualties, and blocked passageways.
• Du Busi attacked Jing Hongchen while the Body Sect Elders rampaged through the base, leaving Jing Hongchen to defend himself with multiple Level 9 Soul Tools.
• Du Busi ordered the Shrek Academy personnel to retreat, and the Body Sect forces withdrew through a hidden passage after he knocked aside Jing Hongchen's cannon beam.
• Jing Hongchen spat blood and cursed Du Busi for devastating Mingde Hall and pretending to be Xuan Zi of Shrek Academy.

After the Body Sect’s raid, Jing Hongchen learned that both Experiment Subject One and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo had been stolen, and appeared to collapse under the loss. He revealed that his fainting and despair were a calculated performance meant to make the Imperial Family shoulder the crisis and keep him as Mingde Hall’s Hall Master.

• Jing Hongchen swore revenge on the Body Sect after seeing Mingde Hall’s destruction.
• Lin Jiayi reported that Experiment Subject One’s chamber had been breached and the subject was missing.
• Lin Jiayi revealed that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo had also been taken from the Underground Core Warehouse.
• Jing Hongchen vomited blood and fell among the ruins, lamenting the loss of his life’s work.
• Jing Hongchen opened his eyes and revealed that his apparent collapse was a performance to shift the crisis onto the Imperial Family and retain his position.

After Mingde Hall was breached and its core warehouse looted, Jing Hongchen ordered Lin Jiayi to conceal the truth, recover Experiment Subject One, and frame Shrek Academy for the attack. Across the continent, factions blamed Shrek, worsening tensions between it and the Sun Moon Empire.

• Jing Hongchen learned from Lin Jiayi that Huo Yuhao and the other Shrek exchange students had survived the explosion, then ordered him to seal the news and offer an enormous bounty for Experiment Subject One.
• Jing Hongchen ordered Lin Jiayi to issue a death warrant for every member of the Body Sect in Shrek Academy's name.
• Rumors spread that Shrek Academy had raided Mingde Hall, despite the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek publicly blaming the Body Sect and denying the accusations.
• Citizens of the Sun Moon Empire and soul masters across the continent accepted the rumors and blamed Shrek, while the Three Douluo Kingdoms' leaders stoked them to prevent reconciliation between Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire.
