Chapter Summaries

Qian Renxue and Spirit Hall’s surviving forces were ambushed by Xue Beng’s army and four Clear Sky Sect Title Douluo, suffering heavy losses before Hu Liena and Xie Yue helped them escape. Watching the comparison video, Qian Daoliu regretted sparing the Clear Sky Sect and blamed himself for the disaster.

• Qian Renxue refused to abandon her soldiers and fought three Clear Sky Sect Title Douluo, but could not reach the fourth as he slaughtered Spirit Hall’s forces.

Hu Liena went to the Tang Sect to ask Tang San to protect her and Qian Renxue’s surviving followers, but he refused to interfere with the Clear Sky Sect’s attack. His refusal shattered Hu Liena’s faith in him, while people watching the comparison video condemned him for breaking his promise.

• Tang San acknowledged promising Yu Xiaogang to spare Hu Liena and Qian Renxue but called it a personal promise and refused to interfere in mortal affairs.
• Hu Liena realized Tang San would not honor the protection she had expected and regretted betraying Spirit Hall for him.
• Viewers in the Black World were shocked by Tang San’s refusal, while Chenxiang mocked his promise as worthless.

After seeing Tang San refuse to protect Hu Liena and Qian Renxue in the Comparison Video, Qian Daoliu flew toward the Clear Sky Sect to take revenge. He learned that the sect’s survivors planned to gather in Gengxin City, then killed the witnesses and set off to continue his hunt.

• Qian Daoliu threatened the captives and killed several until a disciple revealed that the Sect Master and others planned to meet in Gengxin City.
• Qian Daoliu killed the remaining witnesses despite promising to spare them, then flew off to search for more Clear Sky Sect members or wait for them in Gengxin City.

Hu Liena learned that Tang San would not protect Spirit Hall’s remnants, while Qian Renxue led the hunted survivors through another year in hiding.

• That night, a noble and his thugs attacked the commoners who had petitioned Xue Beng and beat them to death in their homes.

After Spirit Hall fell, commoners in the Black World regretted celebrating its destruction as nobles denied them martial-soul awakenings and Xue Beng was blamed for ordering the killing of protesting villagers. In Nuoding City, Old Jack learned that Su Yuntao and other former Spirit Hall stewards still helped remote villages, and he hoped Tang San would ensure Holy Soul Village could keep receiving awakenings.

• Old Jack prayed that Tang San would help Holy Soul Village keep receiving free martial-soul awakenings, seeing this as repayment for his past kindness.

After years of being hunted by forces across the continent, Qian Renxue and her loyal companions were surrounded in a Far North snow valley and faced a massive enemy force. Qian Renxue refused to surrender, and the battle began as she targeted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s auxiliary Soul Masters.

• Su Yuntao reflected that his Black World counterpart kept awakening Martial Souls for free despite losing his salary, and felt fortunate that he had helped Tang Chuan rather than Tang San.
• The Clear Sky Sect, Xue Beng, the Star Luo Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Four Great Clans pursued Qian Renxue’s group for years while Tang San did nothing to stop them.
• Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were surrounded by their enemies in a snow valley in the Far North Forest.

• White Qian Renxue grieved over the deaths of her Black World counterparts' allies and felt grateful that Tang Chuan had remained loyal to Spirit Hall.

• Qian Renxue self-destructed, killing the remaining Star Luo Imperial Family High Priests and their wives and devastating Snow Valley.

He prepared to retire to Holy Soul Village and hand leadership to Jixiang, but Tang Sect’s disciples begged him to stay.

• Old Jack wondered why Tang San's return seemed to have changed little beyond the village's name and Tang San's new residence.

As peace returned after Spirit Hall’s fall, Blood Infant and the Evil Soul Masters began slaughtering settlements and growing stronger. After the Heaven Dou Empire learned the threat had overwhelmed its ability to respond, Xue Beng decided to seek his teacher’s help.

• Old Jack convinced himself that Tang San would eventually repay him and the village.
• Blood Infant gathered Evil Soul Masters and led an attack that destroyed a remote village.

• After at least eight villages and two towns were slaughtered, Meng Shenji warned Xue Beng that the Heaven Dou Empire could not handle the Evil Soul Masters.
• Xue Beng rejected asking the Star Luo Empire for help and decided to send someone to seek his teacher’s aid.

After they inherited Divine Positions, Tang San prepared to ascend with Xiao Wu and headed for Heaven Dou Imperial City, leading Yu Xiaogang to hope he would take Yu Xiaogang and Erlong too.

• Ma Hongjun celebrated receiving the Fire God's Nine Trials, but the Comparison Video revealed that his laziness caused him to fail and inherit the Phoenix God's Second-level Divine Position instead.
• Unable to bring Bai Chenxiang to the God Realm himself, Ma Hongjun asked Tang San to take her along when he ascended.
• Tang San said he had to reserve his two places for Tang Hao and Ah Yin, but promised Bai Chenxiang a place if both of them became gods.

• Tang San set out for Heaven Dou Imperial City, and Yu Xiaogang excitedly wondered whether he would take Yu Xiaogang and Erlong to the God Realm.

Tang San used his impending ascension to justify ending the Tang Sect’s large-scale Hidden Weapon sales to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou Empire. The revelation that he wanted Evil Soul Masters to remain a threat so he could keep gaining Faith Power left people across both worlds condemning him.

• Yu Xiaogang boasted to Flender that Tang San would take him and Liu Erlong to the God Realm, while Ma Hongjun resented Tang San for not helping Bai Chenxiang.

Tang San and Xiao Wu visited Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong before ascending, and Tang San let Yu Xiaogang turn down a place in the God Realm without pressing him. After Tang San and Xiao Wu departed, Tang San’s exposed thoughts revealed his contempt for Yu Xiaogang, leaving Yu Xiaogang humiliated and furious.

• Tang San changed the Tang Sect’s rules to prohibit large-scale public sales of Hidden Weapons and reserve them for sect disciples.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to Holy Soul Village, shed their physical bodies, and ascended toward the God Realm.
• Tang San’s revealed thoughts accused Yu Xiaogang of using him as a test subject and mocked him for hoping to ascend, humiliating Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San's explanation for leaving Bai Chenxiang behind failed to satisfy Ma Hongjun, who watched her grow old and die before ascending alone. As the Shrek Seven Devils reached the God Realm one by one, Ning Fengzhi realized the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had lost its greatest fighters and would have no descendants to inherit its martial souls.

• Ma Hongjun mocked Yu Xiaogang over Tang San's contemptuous inner thoughts, while Yu Xiaogang resolved to explain himself to Tang San someday.
• In the Comparison Video, Xiao Wu questioned why Tang San had not brought Chenxiang to the God Realm, and Tang San claimed he could bring only two people and wanted to be fair to his teacher and Aunt Erlong.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu entered the God Realm, followed by Oscar and Ning Rongrong, then Dai Mubai and Zhuqing.
• Ma Hongjun stayed with Bai Chenxiang as she aged and died, buried her, and ascended alone because he lacked the power to bring anyone with him.
• Ning Fengzhi realized Ning Rongrong and Oscar had left no descendants, while the sect had lost Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo and Tang San had canceled their Hidden Weapon supply contract.

After the Black World comparison video ended, the White World’s twelfth-stage video began and showed Yu Xiaogang deciding to rebuild the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
