Chapter Summaries

Rus Wang arrived in the Far North seeking the Ice God Ruins and support for building a new Divine Realm, and recruited Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai after proving his power and offering him a new home. A-Tai agreed to leave with Rus Wang, who planned to bring his granddaughter and Elf subordinates before they searched the ruins.

• A-Tai lamented that Huo Yuhao and the others had left him responsible for the Far North, then confronted Rus Wang when the dragon suddenly appeared.
• Rus Wang explained his plans, but A-Tai mistook him for a liar and charged, so Rus Wang knocked him down with one claw.
• A-Tai sensed the powerful blood Rus Wang produced and agreed to guide him to the Ice God Ruins after learning about Zheer Continent and Rus Wang's offer of land for his people.
• A-Tai accepted Rus Wang's herb, recovered his injuries, and transformed into a young human form before deciding to follow him.
• Rus Wang told A-Tai to wait while he brought his granddaughter and Elf subordinates, and described how an Elf's Mental Contract with a Titled Douluo could help them reach beyond level one hundred.

Rus Wang led A-Tai and the others to the Ice God Ruins, where they found the site stripped of nearly all its treasures. Irwin rejected the shattered Ice God Divinity, and the group left with supplies to help an Ice Jade Scorpion face its Heavenly Tribulation.

• Rus Wang introduced A-Tai to the Dragon-born Elves, prompting the Titan Snow Demon King to question the purpose of his own efforts over ten thousand years.
• A-Tai led Rus Wang, Toriya, Irwin, Yang Xuanmin, and Luo Yinyao into the frozen canyon where the Ice God Ruins stood.
• Rus Wang inspected the ruined site and concluded that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had likely consumed much of its Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow.
• Irwin caught the last fragment of the Ice God Divinity as it tried to enter her body, and Rus Wang stopped her from absorbing it.
• Rus Wang took the divine-seat fragment and directed A-Tai to collect Ice Marrow and dead Ice Silkworms for an Ice Jade Scorpion nearing its hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
• Rus Wang and the others left the ruins to help the Ice Jade Scorpion survive its tribulation before nightfall.

Rus Wang arranged for the Titan Snow Demon and Ice Jade Scorpion clans to relocate to his continent using a Space Ball, then traveled toward the Sun Moon Empire’s front to observe its coming invasion of the Star Luo Empire. At the border, Colonel Elion prepared a Soul Engineer squad for an infiltration operation set to begin within minutes.

• Xiao Bing thanked Rus Wang after surviving her tribulation and becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and A-Tai asked about relocating their clans.
• Rus Wang showed A-Tai and Xiao Bing a Space Ball with a frozen habitat, taught them how to use it, and told them to gather their clans inside before he returned.
• Rus Wang left the Far North with Irwin and the four Elves, then tasked Irwin with choosing an observation post along the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion route.
• Rus Wang explained to Toriya that the Star Luo Empire was poorly positioned to resist the Sun Moon Empire’s coming attack.
• Colonel Elion gave Adjutant Li Ziying a Level 8 Soul Tool and led her to meet three teams of Level 7 Soul Engineers in the forest.
• Elion told the assembled squad that their infiltration operation would begin at 11:50 p.m.

Elion led an infiltration team through the Star Luo Empire’s border defenses to seize a river-fork strongpoint and its bridges, clearing the way for a Sun Moon Empire invasion. As his team approached the bridge in disguise, the Sun Moon Empire began its general assault.

• Elion ordered thirty-two infiltrators to slip through the forest and silently kill the Star Luo soldiers guarding the first defensive line.
• Elion’s team ambushed and killed or captured the soldiers at a larger position, then changed into Star Luo uniforms and also subdued the incoming platoon.
• Elion learned that another infiltration team had reached the opposite bridge and led his disguised team toward their bridge to deal with its defenders and explosives.
• The Sun Moon Empire’s 13th Soul Master Regiment received confirmation that two reindeer had been captured and began the general assault with Soul Guidance Rays and Soul Cannons.

The Sun Moon Empire seized Bachtinger and Kizliya, disrupting Star Luo's defenses, while its commanders paused their advance for a victory banquet. Elion questioned the halt and learned that the Crimson Fire Dragon could sense Rus Wang, but they agreed to remain undercover in the army.

• Elion led Rank 7 Soul Engineers to capture river vessels and seize Bachtinger, while the Sun Moon 13th Division advanced into the provincial capital.
• The Sun Moon 13th Division broadcast Bachtinger's capture, sowing confusion among Star Luo forces, and Elion was assigned to hold the province.
• The Star Luo 5th Division learned Bachtinger had fallen and that the 6th Division had lost Kizliya, while Count Libai ordered the 5th Corps to retreat toward Rustri and Star Luo City.
• The Sun Moon Empire's 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 13th Divisions paused for a day and held a victory banquet, allowing the Star Luo 5th Division to evacuate 120,000 troops.
• Elion privately criticized the Sun Moon Empire commanders for halting their advance, and the Crimson Fire Dragon explained how it sensed Rus Wang before they recommitted to staying undercover.

Rus Wang heard reports of the Sun Moon Empire’s disastrous naval campaign against the Star Luo Empire and considered how the war had unfolded. He reviewed Dai Ruoheng’s history and decided to meet her after his trip to the Douluo Continent.

• Rus Wang listened as Irwin explained how intelligence passed through Thranduil and Dai Ruoheng helped General Kallen prepare the Star Luo fleet, which destroyed most of the Sun Moon Empire’s South Sea Fleet.
• Irwin reported that the Sun Moon Empire’s East Sea Fleet became trapped by the defenses at the Star Luo port, while its army crossed a river and entered the Star Luo Empire’s heartland on the seventh day of the war.
• Rus Wang dismissed further discussion of the war and asked whether his granddaughters were studying the armor he had brought from Heaven Dou City.
• Irwin said the armor enhanced its wearer but conducted Soul Power less effectively than Dragon Flame Alloy Steel, and Rus Wang explained the trade-offs involved in developing new materials.
• After Irwin left to help test the Battle Armor, Rus Wang read Thranduil’s investigation of Dai Ruoheng and decided to meet her after his trip to the Douluo Continent.

Toriya investigated why human armor’s effects had changed over time and explored whether armor, rare metals, and divine concepts were connected. Irwin’s account of a broken godhood at the Ice God Ruins gave Toriya evidence that godhoods controlled only fragments of a concept, leaving her theory open for further investigation.

• Toriya and Irwin compared armor test results and noticed that the change in Battle Armor’s boost appeared around the time of the Light Dragon King’s sacrifice three years earlier.
• Toriya proposed that anomalous energy around Shrek Academy might relate to Battle Armor’s effectiveness, but rejected the theory after comparing it with Rus Wang’s growth and the continent’s energy patterns.
• Luo Yinyao brought Toriya older armor records, and Toriya theorized that a god with an armor-related godhood had used rare metals to create more armor and gain control over the planet beneath him.
• Toriya asked Irwin about the broken godhood at the Ice God Ruins, and Irwin said it had tempted her to inherit control over ice.
• Irwin concluded that godhoods did not control entire concepts but only cut out and controlled part of them.

The Sun Moon Empire broke through Star Luo defenses on both fronts, while Count Libai and General Kallen discussed the Empire’s dwindling forces and the evacuation of civilians. As Sun Moon infiltrators entered Star Luo City, Libai prepared to exploit their advance and target the enemy’s Limit Douluo.

• The Sun Moon Empire’s right-wing army broke through the Star Luo Empire’s 11th and 14th Divisions and occupied Borsk, forcing the Star Luo commander to gather troops near Setokli.
• Sun Moon forces crossed the Star Luo River, captured Ashiwod and Krasil, and killed the Marine division’s acting commander, leaving the first major tributary’s defenses untenable.
• General Kallen told Count Libai that the navy’s ships could not support the inland defenses, and Libai described how few troops remained to defend Star Luo City.
• Kallen asked whether he should send navy Soul Engineers to Star Luo City, but Libai urged him to protect the emperor and evacuate civilians instead.
• Colonel Elion’s infiltration team entered Star Luo City, where Libai had concentrated the troops he could gather and discovered that Sun Moon supporters and traitors outnumbered willing defenders.
• Count Libai planned to exploit the enemy’s eagerness to take Star Luo City by luring in its Limit Douluo and killing or gravely wounding him.

Rus Wang abandoned his plans to leave by teleportation and prepared to escort a fleet of captured ships by sea, while Irwin struggled to organize the migration of the Far North’s powerful Soul Beasts to Zheer Continent. The chapter ended with Irwin deciding to capture the bears herself after giving Xiao Bing and A-Tai a few more days to move the Ice Jade Scorpions.

• Zhang Cheng died after mortally wounding the Sun Moon Empire’s Limit Douluo, and Star Luo City’s defenses collapsed as its fall became inevitable.
• Rus Wang stopped watching the battle and revealed that Grey Feather Division agents had acquired a shipyard and more than thirty vessels, including a Sun Moon Empire battleship.
• Rus Wang chose to escort the fleet by sea to Zheer Continent instead of teleporting back, intending to protect the ships and their crews from sea creatures.
• In the Far North, Irwin criticized Xiao Bing and A-Tai for trying to persuade the Ice Jade Scorpions to migrate rather than carrying them away by force.
• Irwin gave Xiao Bing and A-Tai a few more days to move the Ice Jade Scorpions, then decided to capture the bears herself.

Rus Wang led the Elf Kingdom’s captured fleet out from the Star Luo Empire toward the Zheer Continent, promising to handle any threats as the ships crossed the deep sea. The fleet encountered hostile sea creatures and rough waters, leaving the sailors on the outer destroyers bracing for danger.

• The navy major general warned Rus Wang that the crews could sail the ships but were not ready to respond quickly to attacks, and Rus Wang said he would handle any threats.
• Toriya, Luo Yinyao, and Yang Xuanmin inspected a Soul Guidance Tugboat’s engine as the fleet prepared to depart.

• Rus Wang told the Demon Empress that Tang San had killed her husband and planned to use her in a divine trial, and explained that the Divine Realm would not notice Douluo Planet for nearly four thousand years.
