Chapter Summaries

Ye Qing awakened in the body of a Heaven-Swallowing Hou on Douluo Continent after its soul was destroyed in the God Realm’s battle with the Dragon God. After receiving three rewards and meeting Self-Discipline No. 3, he learned that he was in the Star Dou Great Forest and would need to complete missions to obtain a cultivation technique that could let him transform.

• The Heaven-Swallowing Hou’s empty body crossed into the God Realm during the gods’ battle with the Dragon God and absorbed energy after the Dragon God was split apart.
• Two higher-dimensional beings placed a human soul from Blue Star in the Hou’s body and assigned him Self-Discipline No. 3 with three random draws.
• Ye Qing awakened, received Body Fusion, Eternal Life Growth Supply, and Rule Adaptation, then wandered the Star Dou Great Forest while searching for a transformation method.
• Self-Discipline No. 3 rebooted and told Ye Qing that it served a seven-dimensional Supreme Existence and would train him through missions.
• Ye Qing learned that he was in Douluo Continent, that his mission would begin when he encountered a main storyline character, and that he needed to complete missions to obtain a cultivation technique.

Ye Qing faced a heavenly tribulation soon after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest, but his powerful demon body endured it. The lightning damaged his energy reserve, so Self-Discipline No. 3 sent him out to recover what he could.

• Ye Qing learned that the system’s assimilation made him a seven-hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast, and the heavenly tribulation began striking him.
• Ye Qing survived the first lightning strikes unharmed because his body had endured far stronger tribulations in another world and the world’s will mistook him for a rabbit.
• The tribulation intensified after Ye Qing showed no fear, and its lightning struck the energy cluster the system had gathered, destroying a large part of his reserve.
• Ye Qing found that half the energy cluster remained, but the lost portion represented tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
• Self-Discipline No. 3 gave Ye Qing a container that could function as a Storage Ring and ordered him to search the Star Dou Great Forest for the scattered energy.

The scattered energy from Ye Qing's tribulation awakened Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and Bi Ji and drove them into new Heavenly Tribulations. Ye Qing recovered some of the energy but was struck by stray lightning, and the chapter left him hearing a woman's voice calling him a little rabbit.

• Di Tian absorbed the scattered energy, broke through the eight-hundred-thousand-year threshold, and rose to face his Heavenly Tribulation.
• Xiong Jun and Bi Ji also absorbed the energy and faced their own tribulations.
• Ye Qing recovered twenty percent of the scattered energy while the system explained that powerful Spirit Beasts had absorbed much of the rest.
• A stray bolt from Di Tian's tribulation charred Ye Qing's left arm, and the system warned him to control his aura to avoid future tribulations.
• Ye Qing learned to control his aura and heard a woman call him over as a little rabbit to treat his wound.

Ye Qing met Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan who healed the Spirit Beasts injured by the Heavenly Tribulations, and asked her how he could take human form. After helping Bi Ji restore her Soul Power, Ye Qing accompanied her to heal the others, where Di Tian arrived and exposed Ye Qing’s seven-hundred-thousand-year cultivation and possible origins from another planet.

• Di Tian arrived, accused Ye Qing of hiding his strength, and told Bi Ji that Ye Qing had seven hundred thousand years of cultivation.
• Di Tian asked whether Ye Qing had come from another planet.

Ye Qing’s Heaven-Swallowing Hou instincts made him challenge Di Tian, and the system turned their fight into a familiar game-like battle. Ye Qing wounded Di Tian with a soul attack, but Di Tian began fighting in earnest.

• Di Tian named Ye Qing Qing Di and said he and Bi Ji recognized his title.

Ye Qing learned more about Spirit Beasts from Di Tian and accompanied him to see the sealed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Di Tian’s instructions on Shape Transformation instead led Ye Qing to invent a new attack method, which the two named Soul Flash and Bala.

• Di Tian explained Spirit Beast cultivation and recovery, then asked Ye Qing to share his stored energy when needed, and Ye Qing agreed.
• Di Tian took Ye Qing to an underground cavern and showed him the sealed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, but Ye Qing declined to establish a territory nearby.
• When Di Tian demonstrated Shape Transformation, Ye Qing followed his instructions and fired compressed Soul Power through his hand instead of transforming.
• Di Tian recognized the attack’s potential and asked Ye Qing to name it; they settled on Soul Flash and Bala.
• Di Tian began experimenting with the new attacks, which became a method available to Spirit Beasts.

Years after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Qing built a Castle and settled into a lonely routine of crafting, cooking, and training. After Xiong Jun suggested he find subordinates, Ye Qing returned home and discovered a green energy cluster growing atop one he had left behind.

Ye Qing discovered that a small snake had evolved into a human girl after absorbing energy in his territory, then decided to keep her as company. The Nine-Section Jade Snake woke in his home and learned that Ye Qing had named her Xiao Qing.

• An emerald cocoon broke open, revealing a human girl, and Ye Qing learned from the system that she was a Spirit Beast with twenty thousand years of cultivation.
• The frightened girl transformed into a tiny snake, bit Ye Qing, and pleaded for her life when he picked her up.
• The system warned that the snake could not survive more energy, so Ye Qing placed her in another room and named her Xiao Qing.
• Xiao Qing remembered being a five-hundred-year-old Nine-Section Jade Snake who had fled a predator and followed a sweet scent into Ye Qing’s territory.
• After waking in Ye Qing’s home, Xiao Qing realized the terrifying being was real, and Ye Qing told her she would live there and be called Xiao Qing.

Thirty years after Xiao Qing joined Ye Qing's Castle, Ye Qing gave her a way to disguise herself as a human Spirit Master and prepared to send her on a task. The chapter ended before he revealed what he wanted her to do.

• Xiao Qing teased Ye Qing during morning training, and he continued to avoid responding to her advances because he would not cross his boundary before his body transformed into human form.

Ye Qing sent Xiao Qing to a trading town to buy seasonings, where merchants and the Lone Wolf Hunting Group mistook her for an inexperienced young Spirit Master. Xiao Qing revealed her power after a stall owner threatened her, leaving the town to find a doctor for him and buy soy sauce.

• Ye Qing gave Xiao Qing a list, Gold Soul Coins, and a handcart, then sent her to buy seasonings and pots.
• The Lone Wolf Hunting Group decided to follow Xiao Qing into the forest, believing she was a rich girl who had sneaked out to hunt her first Spirit Ring.
• Merchants overcharged Xiao Qing because she did not know the market prices, and a soy sauce seller demanded one hundred Gold Soul Coins for a barrel.
• The soy sauce seller threatened Xiao Qing with his Martial Soul, so she released a faint fragrance that poisoned him and revealed her five Spirit Rings.
• Xiao Qing told the onlookers to find a doctor for the seller and asked who else sold soy sauce.

Xiao Qing traveled toward the Star Dou Great Forest, where a group of bandits tried to ambush her, unaware that she was a powerful Spirit King. After she killed their hidden archer and revealed her identity, the remaining men realized they had badly underestimated her.

• A doctor examined the poisoned soy sauce stall owner and said the attacker had likely used the incurable poison of the Nine-Section Jade, though it would fade after a few days.
• A spirit-hunting group waited at the forest entrance, expecting Xiao Qing to hire them, but she passed them without stopping.

• The group's leader realized Xiao Qing might be dangerous, but one of his underlings threatened her and exposed their plan to rob and assault her.
• Xiao Qing used a green beam cannon to kill the hidden archer, then introduced herself as a level 59 Agility Attack Type Battle Soul King with the Nine-Section Jade Martial Soul.

Xiao Qing and Ye Qing defeated a hunting group that tried to ambush them, and they returned to the Castle after leaving the bodies in the snow. There, they discovered that new guests had arrived.

Ye Qing found a giant Soft Bone Rabbit that had collapsed outside his Castle and brought her inside. After waking, she mistook him for a fellow captive and tried to save him from the humans, leaving their encounter unresolved.

• Ye Qing discovered a giant rabbit near his Castle after it damaged his fenced garden, and Xiao Qing helped carry the unconscious animal into the house.

• The Rock Fox stopped pursuing the rabbit after sensing a terrifying aura from Ye Qing's territory.
• The Soft Bone Rabbit woke, saw Ye Qing preparing food, and climbed out a window to escape what she believed was a human home.
• When Xiao Qing called to Ye Qing, the rabbit bit him and tried to drag him away, warning him that the humans would eat them.

Xiao Qing found Ye Qing with Ah Rou, a Soft Bone Rabbit who had been driven into the forest while searching for food. When Ah Rou revealed that her daughter was named Xiao Wu, Ye Qing realized who she was and set out with Ah Rou to find his niece.

• Xiao Qing went to the warehouse and mistook Ye Qing's conversation with the rabbit for flirting.

• Ye Qing confirmed that Xiao Wu was Ah Rou's daughter, called her his niece, and left with Ah Rou to find her.

Ye Qing discovered that Xiao Qing had read forbidden romance and advice books, then let her accompany him to meet Ah Rou’s daughter. The hungry Xiao Wu received a crystal carrot and was brought out to meet her new uncle, while Xiao Qing suspected Ye Qing liked raising girls.

• Xiao Qing confronted Ye Qing about leaving and recited a melodramatic story from a forbidden book she had found in his study.
• Ye Qing scolded Xiao Qing for reading strange books, rejected Virtues for Women, and agreed to let her come along, though he refused to let her sleep in the next morning.

• Ah Rou gave Xiao Wu a Hundred-Fruit Crystal Carrot from Ye Qing, and Xiao Wu eagerly ate it.
• Ah Rou told Xiao Wu that her new uncle was outside and took her to meet Ye Qing, while Xiao Qing wondered whether he liked raising girls.

Ye Qing met Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, and the system identified Xiao Wu as a key individual, unlocking its Marketplace and quest system. He invited them to live at the Castle and began wondering whether Ah Rou’s cultivation had come from a rare opportunity in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Ah Rou brought Xiao Wu to meet Ye Qing, who reacted with wild excitement after the system identified Xiao Wu as a world protagonist.
• Ye Qing found that the Marketplace had unlocked but that activating it had consumed most of his self-discipline points, leaving him unable to afford the Heaven-Swallowing Hou Shape Transformation method.
• The system revealed quests involving Xiao Wu, including helping her at the Seventh Dormitory, teaching her human society, and preventing her sacrifice.
• Ye Qing asked Ah Rou and Xiao Wu to move to the Castle, and Ah Rou agreed after Xiao Wu asked whether it had plenty of carrots.
• Ye Qing returned to the Castle with Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, bringing its membership to four, and speculated that Ah Rou’s cultivation might have resulted from a rare encounter he could search for in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Qing’s quiet life in the Star Dou Great Forest was unsettled when Xiao Qing, fearing he preferred Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, attempted a night raid on him. Ye Qing stopped her and tried to explain why he could not accept her advances, leaving Xiao Qing waiting for an answer.

• Ye Qing reflected on the decades he had spent living quietly in his Castle and chose to cultivate patiently rather than risk a Heavenly Tribulation.

• Ye Qing woke, broke free from Xiao Qing’s hold, and wrapped her in a blanket to stop her advances.
• Xiao Qing asked why Ye Qing rejected her, and Ye Qing told her she was beautiful but struggled to explain his refusal.
