Chapter Summaries

Tang Hao reacted to Chen Xinjie's death and the destruction of Sea God Island, worrying that the Demon Empress would reach God Rank before Wulin matured and wondering who had killed Chen Xinjie. The battle’s lingering fluctuations drew nearly every Quasi-God to the ruined island, where Yun Ming confronted Ghost Emperor and the arrivals searched for clues.

• Tang Hao realized Chen Xinjie's death left no one to restrain the Demon Empress, so he told Da Ming and Er Ming to watch her while he considered who had killed Chen Xinjie.
• Tang Hao sensed the Plane Spirit counterattacking, vanished into the void, and spread the battle’s fluctuations across Douluo Continent.
• Yun Ming, a graying young man in the Spirit Pagoda, the Demon Empress, and Ghost Emperor sensed the fluctuations and headed for the sea, while an elderly man at the War God Temple stayed behind.
• Yun Ming, Ghost Emperor, Qiangu Dieting, and Long Yeyue arrived near New Sea God Island and found it reduced to ruins.
• Yun Ming recognized Ghost Emperor, and the powerful arrivals searched the island but found no useful clues because Ice Empress had erased the traces.

Long Yeyue recognized the ruins of Sea God Island and grieved for Chen Xinjie, while Yun Ming and Ghost Emperor prepared to fight before powerful Sea Soul Beast auras appeared. After the newcomers departed, Qiangu Dieting reminded Yun Ming to help Long Yeyue and went to Mingdu to pursue a political opportunity.

• Long Yeyue remembered Chen Xinjie telling her he came from the original Sea God Island, then cried his name and rushed toward its ruins.

Su Mo and the Ice Empress discovered that Tang San had secretly made the Sea God Helmet consume its user’s spiritual power, making its use fatal for Chen Xinjie. After learning that it was made of yuanlan profound gold, Su Mo planned to give it to Ling Zichen and went to find Xiao Bai, who was struggling with her group’s betrayal of Sea God Island.

• The Ice Empress told Su Mo that the Sea God Helmet burned the spiritual power of anyone below god rank who used it, and that Chen Xinjie’s choice to wield it had doomed him.
• Su Mo considered the helmet useless, but the Ice Empress suggested melting it down for Battle Armor; the Snow Empress identified its material as yuanlan profound gold, a metal with strong water-element affinity.
• Su Mo handed the helmet to the Ice Empress to melt, but she admitted she could not do it, so he decided to give it to Ling Zichen instead.
• Su Mo and the Ice Empress returned to the sea and used Flying Thunder God to reach Xiao Bai and Bai Xiuxiu, whom Su Mo had secretly marked before they fled.
• Bai Xiuxiu worried that they had betrayed Sea God Island, and Xiao Bai told her that Soul Beasts and humans followed different paths and that they were no longer followers of the Sea God.

Su Mo ordered Xiao Bai to exploit intelligent Sea Soul Beasts in the Sea God's name, hoping to turn them against Tang San, and had the Ice Empress collect their blood as a safeguard. Xiao Bai then helped Bai Xiuxiu take human form by merging her Shark Pearl into her, triggering Xiuxiu's 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.

• Su Mo told Xiao Bai that intelligent Sea Soul Beasts must worship the Sea God and pay monthly tributes, with those who refused to be executed as heretics.
• The Ice Empress recognized that Su Mo wanted the Sea Soul Beasts to resent Tang San by making them suffer under the Sea God's banner.

• Su Mo asked when Bai Xiuxiu could take human form, and Xiao Bai said she could do it immediately.
• Xiao Bai comforted Bai Xiuxiu, then merged her Shark Pearl into her daughter, and dark clouds gathered as Bai Xiuxiu's 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation began.

Bai Xiuxiu fused with Xiao Bai’s Shark Pearl, took human form, and chose the name Dong Qianqiu. Su Mo brought her to Eastsea City, where she began exploring the human world, and agreed to keep her with him temporarily.

• Su Mo and the Ice Empress noticed that Bai Xiuxiu’s hundred-thousand-year tribulation was unusually weak as she transformed into a human.
• Su Mo caught Bai Xiuxiu when she fell into the water, gave her clothes, and accepted her chosen human name, Dong Qianqiu.

• Su Mo and the Ice Empress finished collecting the clan’s blood and traveled with Dong Qianqiu through the Undead Demi-plane to Eastsea City.
• Dong Qianqiu eagerly explored Su Mo’s home, and Su Mo told the Ice Empress he would keep her there until she understood human life better.

Su Mo used his Sharingan to draw Dong Qianqiu into an Illusion World, where he explained that he intended to teach her basic life skills rather than kill her. He began showing her everyday human-world scenes in a training illusion where time passed far faster than in reality.

• Su Mo transformed the Illusion World into scenes of supermarkets, schools, and busy streets, while Dong Qianqiu watched closely.
• Su Mo explained that an hour in the Illusion World equaled about a second outside, making it a fast training ground for skills and knowledge.

After spending nearly a year together in the Illusion World, Dong Qianqiu returned with an unexpectedly close attachment to Su Mo. Su Mo planned to send her away, but she begged him not to leave her.

• Su Mo and Dong Qianqiu returned from the Illusion World, and Dong Qianqiu expertly helped the exhausted Su Mo to his room.

• Dong Qianqiu pleaded with Su Mo not to send her away and said she did not want to leave him.

Su Mo introduced Di Qiu'er to Dong Qianqiu, gave Ning Bei the Sea God Helmet to study, and agreed to take Dong Qianqiu to an amusement park in the Undead Demi-plane.

• Di Qiu'er told Ice Empress she had been fifteen thousand years old, leading Ice Empress to recognize the flaw in Tang San’s claim that the Auspicious Beast was part of Tang Wutong’s soul.
• Su Mo introduced Dong Qianqiu to Di Qiu'er and told Dong Qianqiu to cultivate by her side; Di Qiu'er inwardly blamed Tang Wutong and Tang San for leaving her with the infamy.

• Su Mo gave the Sea God Helmet to Ning Bei to study, and Ning Bei flew away toward a distant tower.
• Dong Qianqiu asked Su Mo to take her to an amusement park before she left, and Su Mo carried her toward the city in the Undead Demi-plane.

• Infernal Delicate Apricot accepted Su Mo's offer, saying, "I'm willing!"

He then used leaves from Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to cultivate an Ice and Fire Golden Body, leaving the immortal herbs stunned as he began absorbing power directly from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Infernal Delicate Apricot confirmed that becoming Su Mo’s Soul Spirit was her choice, and Su Mo said he would return once he reached level forty.
