Chapter Summaries

Tang Chen returned to the Clear Sky Sect injured after his duel with Sima Jinchi, while the truth of their battle remained quiet. In Star Luo, the disappearance of Dai Li and his companions went unexplained as the Wolf God Cult rose among the poor and enslaved, rekindled when the white Giant Wolf appeared again.

• Tang Chen told the Clear Sky Sect elders that Sima Jinchi had the slight edge in their duel and had shattered his Great Sumeru Hammer, then urged them to keep the defeat secret.
• Sima Jinchi reported the encounter to Ye Qing, who learned that Gu Yuena was disguised as a human and living among human tribes.
• Chen Jianjun witnessed the aftermath of Tang Chen and Sima Jinchi's battle, resolved to challenge them after his training, and continued west toward the Xili Stone Kingdom.
• Dai Qingkun learned that Dai Li and the others had disappeared, while the devastated terrain left no trace of what had happened to them.
• Former slaves and impoverished commoners formed the Wolf God Cult around stories of the white Giant Wolf, and a slave revolt was quickly suppressed.
• The white Giant Wolf appeared again a little over a month later, renewing the enslaved people's hope for freedom.

Ye Qing learned that Fara Province’s officials and slave traders had fabricated the Wolf God Cult to gather poor people and escaped slaves as a pretext for selling more slaves. He arranged for Shana to deal with the unrest, while the Wan Family prepared to use the scandal to create an opening for its youngest son to take office.

• Ye Qing questioned how the Wolf God Cult had survived for months despite its members’ poverty and lack of military strength.
• The Wan Family’s intelligence revealed that Fara Province’s officials and remaining slave traders had engineered the cult by using true stories about Shana’s white Giant Wolf form.
• Officials planned to provoke illegal gatherings and sheltering of escaped slaves, then use them to justify selling a new batch of slaves and cover the province’s financial deficit.
• Ye Qing asked how the Wan Family was faring and learned Dai Qingkun was considering giving its youngest son an official post.
• Ye Qing told his people to notify Shana and let her handle the cult that had borrowed her name.

Fara Province officials lured thousands of poor people to a remote border zone with promises of grain, intending to enslave and traffic them. As the soldiers began capturing the final group, the real white Giant Wolf appeared, leaving the officials alarmed and the poor people hopeful.

• The Wolf God Cult’s grain handouts drew thousands of poor people to a full-moon gathering in the buffer zone between Star Luo and Heaven Dou.
• A poor man brought his family to seek grain despite suspecting something was wrong, while officials used the cult’s promises to draw people away from Fara Province.
• Soldiers surrounded the final group and declared that the poor people would be enslaved for illegally joining an evil cult.
• A wolf howl made the army commander turn around, where he saw a white Giant Wolf standing beneath the full moon.
• The Marquis Mansion advisers realized the Giant Wolf was real, while the poor people hailed it as their savior.

Shana confronted the Star Luo army guarding the imprisoned commoners, but struggled to kill people who had not personally harmed her. After the soldiers fired arrows and Shana broke their formation without using lethal force, the commoners were freed, and one hailed her as the Wolf God.

• Shana approached the nearly thousand-strong Star Luo army while its commander ordered the soldiers to form ranks and raise their bows.
• Shana hesitated to attack because the soldiers had no personal grudge against her, though Ye Qing had instructed her to take the commoners away.
• A soldier loosed an arrow, prompting hundreds of arrows to rain down on Shana, but her Ice Wolf King's fur deflected them.
• Shana charged into the army, sent its level 35 commander flying, and used chunks of ice to break the soldiers' formation.
• The soldiers fled, freeing the imprisoned commoners, and one man prostrated himself before Shana and called her the Wolf God.

Shana and Eagle Woman rescued Fara Province’s civilians and promised to take them to a new homeland on the Eastern Continent. Ah Rou joined the migration to help manage the settlement, leaving Xiao Wu behind as the people set out across the sea.

• Shana defeated the soldiers, and a civilian fell to his knees, believing she was the Wolf God.
• Eagle Woman assured the civilians that they were divine envoys who would lead them to a new homeland on the Eastern Continent.
• The migration group traveled to a coastal cliff, where Eagle Woman summoned dozens of Haidai Turtles to carry them across the sea.
• Ah Rou asked Ye Qing to let her accompany the migrants and help establish their new settlement.
• Ye Qing agreed, and Ah Rou left the Star Dou Great Forest with the migration force.

Ah Rou led a large group of people east toward the Eastern Continent on Haidai Turtles, with Wolf Bandits carrying their supplies. After the group departed, Eagle Woman and Shana prepared to handle remaining business and capture A-Zhao, who still had a punishment to complete.

• The Haidai Turtles carried the people and their supplies toward the Eastern Continent, while Ah Rou organized the boarding and traveled with them.
• Ah Rou glanced toward Eagle Woman and the others before leaving, and Eagle Woman waved goodbye and promised they would handle what remained.
• After the turtles disappeared and the seawater receded, Shana wondered how long Ah Rou would be gone, and Eagle Woman said the journey would not take too long.
• Eagle Woman told A-Zhao he still had to carry bags as punishment, then flew into nearby bushes to confront someone who had been hiding there.

Eagle Woman killed a Wolf God Cult spy who had followed the group across the sea, and she and Shana went on vacation to Heaven Dou while Star Luo's court dealt with the abuses in Fara Province. In Heaven Dou City, they noticed a fleeing man wearing a claw necklace that carried Ye Qing's aura.

• A Wolf God Cult spy who had hidden among the poor tried to learn White Wolf's identity, but Eagle Woman killed him with a feather.
• Eagle Woman and Shana chose to visit Heaven Dou, leaving A-Zhao to carry their shopping bags.
• Dai Qingkun ordered Nuo Bo arrested and tried, while the Fara Province military commander received a salary deduction and twenty strokes after the prime minister intervened.
• Dai Qingkun appointed Wan Lu acting governor of Fara Province.
• While shopping in Heaven Dou City, Eagle Woman and Shana noticed a man running past with a claw necklace that carried Ye Qing's familiar aura.

Shana and Eagle Woman noticed that a rushed Spirit King wore a claw bearing Ye Qing’s scent, and they followed him after he hurried back for two midwives. The man, Dugu Bo, raced the doctors toward his home because his pregnant wife had gone into labor early, leaving the women to catch their breath in an ox cart as he pulled it himself.

• Shana and Eagle Woman recognized Ye Qing’s scent on the claw necklace worn by a Spirit King and wondered whether he had a connection to their lord.
• The man returned, grabbed two female doctors, and rushed toward the outskirts, so Shana and Eagle Woman followed while A-Zhao was left carrying their shopping.
• Dugu Bo told the doctors his wife had gone into labor nearly half a month early and urged them to keep up as he hurried home.
• Dugu Bo paid an old farmer two Gold Soul Coins for his ox cart, then told him to keep the ox.
• Dugu Bo loaded the doctors into the cart and pulled it at speed toward his home, giving them a chance to recover.

Dugu Bo’s wife Xin'er suffered difficult labor and severe bleeding, while his poisonous Soul Power could not save her. As the doctors struggled to stop the bleeding, the Eagle Woman offered to save Xin'er in exchange for an explanation about Dugu Bo’s necklace.

• Dugu Bo waited anxiously outside as Xin'er went into labor, then chose to prioritize saving her if the birth turned dangerous.
• The doctors discovered the baby was stuck, and Dugu Bo urged them to save the mother; Xin'er then gave birth, but began bleeding severely.
• The doctors called for Dugu Bo to use his Soul Power, but he revealed that his poisonous power could not stop the bleeding.
• Dugu Bo despaired when no other Spirit Master was available, and the Eagle Woman appeared and offered to save Xin'er if he explained the necklace.
• Dugu Bo agreed to the Eagle Woman’s condition and asked her to save Xin'er first.

Eagle Woman saved Xin'er from severe bleeding after childbirth, and Dugu Bo welcomed their healthy son, Dugu Xin. As Dugu Bo began explaining the Dugu Clan necklace to Eagle Woman, Shana called out that Xin'er seemed to have been poisoned.

• Eagle Woman entered the room and used her Soul Power to stop Xin'er's bleeding and help her recover.
• The doctors confirmed that Xin'er and her newborn son were safe, and Xiao Yun carried the baby out to Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Bo held his son, worried briefly about the green tips of his hair, and named him Dugu Xin.
• After Xin'er woke, Dugu Bo cooked while she fed the baby and he began explaining the origins of the Dugu Clan necklace to Eagle Woman.
• Shana shouted that Xin'er seemed to have been poisoned and called Dugu Bo over.

Dugu Bo explained how the Dugu Clan’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison had afflicted generations of his family and revealed that the ancestral Beast Claw necklace could suppress it. After Xin’er’s hidden poison was subdued, his story reached the moment when the necklace saved his dying father.

• Shana noticed dark green patterns spreading beneath Dugu Xin’s skin and called Dugu Bo and Eagle Woman for help.
• Dugu Bo placed the ancestral Beast Claw necklace over Dugu Xin’s heart, suppressing the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison and restoring Xin’er’s complexion.
• Dugu Bo explained that the poison was an inherited curse, already fused into the bloodline of children born with the Dugu Clan’s Martial Soul.
• Dugu Bo recounted how the clan’s Martial Soul mutated from Bamboo Green Snake to Jade Phosphor Serpent and then Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, making its poison increasingly dangerous.
• Dugu Bo described how his ancestors preserved the necklace as an heirloom and how it first revealed its power when his father was dying from the poison.

Dugu Bo explained how the Beast Claw Necklace had suppressed his family’s inherited Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison, but could not cure it. After telling the others about his father’s suffering and his search for the claw’s origin, he promised to repay them for saving Xin’er.

• Dugu Bo showed how the Blood Hourglass tracked the poison and explained that the necklace suppressed it only while he wore it.
• Dugu Bo recalled how his father trained him to fight the hereditary poison and revealed that the Beast Claw Necklace had reacted shortly before his father’s poison was due to flare.
• Dugu Bo demonstrated that the claw could pierce Diamond Purifying Bamboo and said he had never identified the Spirit Beast it came from.
• Dugu Bo gave Xin’er an antidote, put the necklace back on, and explained that it could not cure his deeply rooted poison.
• Dugu Bo thanked the others for saving Xin’er and vowed to help them whenever they needed him.

Eagle Woman discovered that the Beast Claw Necklace had once belonged to Ye Qing and told him about its poison-warding effect. Ye Qing arranged to meet Dugu Bo in Sunset Forest at noon the next day, leaving Dugu Bo shocked by the news.

• Dugu Bo hosted Eagle Woman and Shana for dinner, and the two stayed overnight with him and Xin'er.
• A-Zhao waited at the outskirts of Heaven Dou City for Eagle Woman and Shana, then endured a heavy rainstorm alone.

• Eagle Woman told Dugu Bo that the owner of the Beast Claw wanted to see him.

Dugu Bo agreed to meet the mysterious lord who gave him the beast claw, hoping the lord could end his family’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison. Eagle Woman took him toward Sunset Forest, where the meeting was set for noon.

• Eagle Woman told Dugu Bo that the beast claw’s owner wanted to see him and suggested the lord might solve his family’s poison problem.
• Dugu Bo agreed to meet the lord in Sunset Forest the next day, partly for his newborn son Dugu Xin’s sake.
• Eagle Woman and Shana reunited with A-Zhao, gave him a spatial soul tool and supplies, and told him they had new instructions from the lord.
• Dugu Bo discussed the meeting with his wife and resolved to go so Dugu Xin would not inherit an even worse poison affliction.
• Eagle Woman arrived late the next morning, transformed into a giant flying eagle, grabbed Dugu Bo beneath her claws, and flew toward Sunset Forest.

Eagle Woman led Dugu Bo through Sunset Forest to meet Ye Qing, who removed the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison from his body and offered to cure his son. Ye Qing made his help conditional on Dugu Bo becoming a Titled Douluo, leaving the second condition for later.

• Eagle Woman reassured Dugu Bo as she led him deep into Sunset Forest, where a nearly forty-thousand-year-old Moon Leopard confronted them.
• Eagle Woman showed the Moon Leopard an unknown object, causing it to abandon its aggression and retreat without a fight.
• Eagle Woman brought Dugu Bo to Ye Qing in a clearing and introduced him to her lord.
• Ye Qing examined Dugu Bo and cleansed the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison from his body.
• Ye Qing offered to cure Dugu Bo's son on the condition that Dugu Bo first became a Titled Douluo, with the other condition to be discussed later.

Ye Qing discovered that the system required Dugu Bo to cultivate to Titled Douluo without outside assistance before it would reward him for working willingly. After Eagle Woman escorted Dugu Bo out of Sunset Forest, she warned him to avoid the Star Dou Great Forest when seeking a Spirit Ring.

• Ye Qing examined the system’s mission for Dugu Bo and found that external help with his cultivation would invalidate the reward.
• Ye Qing told Dugu Bo to cultivate to Titled Douluo and promised to resolve the Dugu family’s problem; Dugu Bo agreed and asked about his necklace.
• Ye Qing said he had once met one of Dugu Bo’s ancestors and let him keep the necklace.
• Dugu Bo asked for help leaving Sunset Forest, so Ye Qing sent Eagle Woman to escort him.
• Eagle Woman explained that Ye Qing had helped her companions begin new lives and said someone would contact Dugu Bo when he became a Titled Douluo.
• Eagle Woman warned Dugu Bo to stay away from Star Dou Great Forest when he needed a Spirit Ring.

Ye Qing brought Eagle Woman to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which he called the Dragonfall Grounds, to investigate signs of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King awakening beneath it. He placed their Dragon Pearls into the two springs, and pillars of light erupted as the dragons’ souls responded.

• Ye Qing told Dugu Bo he would provide a suitable Beast-Made Spirit Ring when Dugu Bo broke through, and confirmed that a Spirit King had been escorted to safety.
• Ye Qing asked Eagle Woman for two sealed crystals containing the Dragon Pearls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, then explained what they were.
• Ye Qing led Eagle Woman into the basin and warned her not to touch its many plants because some were poisonous.
• Ye Qing explained that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well marked the resting place of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, whose souls had recently become more active.
• Ye Qing took the Dragon Pearls from Eagle Woman, crushed their crystal shells, and dropped one into each spring.
• The two springs boiled and sent pillars of light into the sky.

Ye Qing revived the Ice Dragon King and began learning how he and the Fire Dragon King had died. The Ice Dragon King recounted their final battle against the God Realm, where both siblings sacrificed themselves to destroy their pursuers.

• Ye Qing used mysterious energy and the two Dragon Pearls to form humanlike energy bodies for the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, though the Fire Dragon King remained dormant.
• The Ice Dragon King questioned Ye Qing about his aura and the Dragon Pearls, then explained that the Emerald Dragon King had sacrificed his soul and Dragon Pearl to help the Dragon Kings escape the God Realm.
• The God Realm pursued the fleeing Dragon Kings, and five First-Class Gods cornered the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings after they had already been exhausted by battle.
• The Ice Dragon King froze the battlefield and self-destructed to restrain the five gods, giving the Fire Dragon King time to turn her body into an energy form.
• The Fire Dragon King unleashed her own Dragon Soul Self-Destruction, and the resulting explosion killed the siblings and the gods, leaving a vast Abyss.

Ye Qing helped the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings awaken and explained the Dragon Clan’s fate and the Silver Dragon King’s plans. The Dragon Kings agreed to support the Dragon Clan, then returned to their Dragon Pearls to rebuild their bodies as Ye Qing left Lusen to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• The Fire Dragon King awakened and reunited with her twin brother, the Ice Dragon King, who introduced her to Ye Qing.
• Ye Qing told the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings about the God Realm, the surviving dragons, and Gu Yuena’s recovery.
• The Dragon Kings said they could not contact their scattered kin, and explained that their damaged foundations left them with less than one-tenth of their former strength.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings accepted the Silver Dragon King’s leadership and chose to recuperate rather than leave the springs in vessels.
• Ye Qing introduced Lusen as the new guardian of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the Dragon Kings returned to their Dragon Pearls to rebuild their bodies.
• Ye Qing prepared to leave for the Star Dou Great Forest, where an interesting event had occurred during his absence.

Da Ming and Er Ming guarded Star Dou Lake while the Star Dou Great Forest’s Spirit Beasts continued growing stronger under Ye Qing’s influence. A newly advanced Titled Douluo reached the Core Area alone, seeking a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and unaware of what awaited him.

• Da Ming and Er Ming continued taking turns guarding the Core Area, while the forest’s Beast-Humans gradually took on more responsibilities.
• The Spirit Hall’s newly advanced Titled Douluo decided to enter the increasingly dangerous Star Dou Great Forest alone to find a suitable ninth Spirit Ring.
• Ye Qing’s influence had strengthened the forest’s Spirit Beasts, though he kept their growth within the limits the ecosystem could sustain.

• The Titled Douluo gripped his Nine-Section Steel Whip and watched the unnaturally quiet lake, having abandoned his earlier confidence.
