Chapter Summaries

Di Tian showed Chen Ming and Long Na'er a cavern he had fashioned into a Dragon Clan ruin, where murals prompted Chen Ming to question contradictions in the clan’s history. The group found no answer to Douluo Star’s hidden significance, leaving the Dragon God’s origins and the planet’s secret unresolved.

• Di Tian led Chen Ming and Long Na'er through the cavern to a mural-covered underground hollow he had fashioned as a Dragon Clan ruin.
• Long Na'er objected to Di Tian depicting Purple Radiance Heaven-Exterminating Dragon, a forbidden figure who had rebelled against the Dragon God, but Di Tian defended including him in the clan’s history.
• Chen Ming compared the murals with what he knew and pointed out contradictions about the Dragon God’s origins and the Dragon Clan’s history.
• Long Na'er and Di Tian admitted they did not know the truth of those ancient events, while Di Tian explained that Douluo Star had become a root of the Dragon Clan’s rise despite not being its birthplace.
• Di Tian said the Mountain Dragon King might have known Douluo Star’s secret, but it had transformed into the continent and could not speak; Chen Ming continued studying the murals.

Chen Ming, Di Tian, and Long Na’er found a weakened Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavy Armored Earth Dragon guarding a Dragon King ruin. Di Tian had Chen Ming use his powerful Dragon Clan aura to confront it, and the dragon challenged him to a trial despite its obvious fear.

• Chen Ming recognized the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon as a rare Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and noticed that its life force had been drained.
• The dragon declared that humans were unworthy of entering the Dragon King ruin, while avoiding Di Tian and Long Na’er with its gaze.
• Di Tian pushed Chen Ming forward, claiming the cavern was too cramped for her to fight and telling him to release his Dragon Clan Martial Soul aura.
• Chen Ming released his Dragon King-level aura, and the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon mistook him for an ancestor and bowed in fear.
• Long Na’er coached the dragon through spiritual transmission until it challenged Chen Ming to accept its trial.

Chen Ming began Heavy Armored Earth Dragon’s trial to enter the ruins, enduring the Sub-Dragon’s aura before revealing his own overwhelming bloodline and Spiritual Power. Heavy Armored Earth Dragon immediately bowed before him, strengthening Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King’s belief that Chen Ming was a reincarnated Dragon Clan powerhouse.

• Heavy Armored Earth Dragon explained that entrants had to endure its aura and the Dragon King’s power for a quarter of an hour.
• Chen Ming accepted the trial after Long Na’er, Black Empress, and Di Tian encouraged him.
• Heavy Armored Earth Dragon released its aura in stages, but its dragon bloodline pressure barely affected Chen Ming.
• Chen Ming stepped forward and unleashed his own bloodline pressure and Spiritual Power.
• Heavy Armored Earth Dragon crashed to the ground and bowed, while Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King took Chen Ming’s strength as proof of his powerful origins.

Chen Ming, Di Tian, and Long Na'er entered the ruins, where Chen Ming discovered a powerful crystal left by a Heavenly Dragon Horse. Di Tian claimed the crystal was not his goal and revealed that he had come for a reverse scale of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

• The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon recognized Chen Ming’s bloodline, let him enter the ruins, and explained that its own life aura was weak after a cultivation mishap.
• Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King, and Chen Ming reached the deepest part of the ruins, a space Di Tian had relocated and refined.
• Chen Ming saw a golden crystal formed from the remains of a 99,999-year Heavenly Dragon Horse and recognized its potential to grant him Light Dragon Clan power.
• Di Tian pretended the crystal was only an unexpected find, then retrieved a black scale from the ground and identified it as his intended prize.

Di Tian gave Chen Ming the sealed Heavenly Dragon Horse crystal to study with Long Na'er, then led them to inspect ancient Dragon Clan murals. The carvings appeared to record a Dragon Clan war against the Behemoth Clan and ended with writing Chen Ming could not decipher, so he asked Senior Black Empress about it.

• Di Tian praised Chen Ming, invited him to join his sect, and gave him the ninety-percent-sealed Heavenly Dragon Horse crystal to study with Long Na'er.
• Chen Ming thanked Di Tian, and Di Tian suggested they inspect the remaining Dragon Clan murals.
• Chen Ming and Long Na'er examined carvings that seemed to depict a Dragon Clan battle against the Behemoth Clan, ending with a nine-colored dragon defeating a Behemoth.
• Chen Ming found strange, faded patterns at the end of the mural and asked Senior Black Empress whether she recognized the totem.

Di Tian explained that the ancient Dragon Script in the ruin had lost its power and offered Chen Ming an introductory guide. Chen Ming welcomed the chance to study the Dragon Clan’s lost magical system, and Long Na’er offered to study it with him.

• Di Tian identified the damaged writing as ancient Dragon Script whose spiritual and elemental power had dissipated.
• Di Tian explained Dragon Script’s uses and the Rainbow Dragons’ former skill with its magic, then offered to rewrite his notes and give Chen Ming a beginner’s guide.
• Chen Ming thanked Di Tian and considered how Dragon Script could supplement Soul Power and expand his abilities.
• Long Na’er offered to study Dragon Script with Chen Ming, drawing on her complete memories of Dragon Runes.

The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon explained why it believed Spirit Beasts had no future and asked Chen Ming to accept its Sacrifice in exchange for reviving it if he became a god. Chen Ming agreed, and the Earth Dragon began sacrificing itself after seeing his hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

• The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon asked Chen Ming whether he could become a god and proposed a bet.

• The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon saw Chen Ming's hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, ignited its origin, and began its Sacrifice.

Chen Ming received the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon’s sacrifice, gaining a sixth Spirit Ring and a left-arm Spirit Bone with powerful abilities. Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King debated whether Chen Ming was advancing toward godhood or recovering strength he had once possessed, while Chen Ming’s cultivation continued to surge.

• Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King concluded that the Hundred Thousand Year Dragon Turtle and the Sacred Illusion Demon Ape had likely sacrificed themselves to Chen Ming.
• The Silver Dragon King argued that Chen Ming’s extraordinary Spiritual Power suggested he was recovering lost strength rather than following an ordinary path to godhood.
• The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon’s sacrifice temporarily transformed it into a True Dragon and produced Chen Ming’s sixth blood-red Spirit Ring and a left-arm Soul Bone.
• Chen Ming guided the Spirit Ring’s skills toward Earth Domain and Gravity Crushing, while the Spirit Bone developed Double Roar and Yellow Dragon's Claw.
• Chen Ming found that the Soul Bone’s enhancements and vitality were exceptionally powerful, and his cultivation surged as the sacrifice’s energy joined the power already stored within him.

After reaching Level 66 and stabilizing his cultivation, Chen Ming revealed his Dragon Spear was his second Martial Soul and explained that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast had sacrificed itself to him. Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King suspected he was the reincarnation of the Dragon Prince, then left the ruins with him while Di Tian warned him to conceal his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones.

• Chen Ming told the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian that he had twin Martial Souls and had once received a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast's Sacrifice.

• The Silver Dragon King wondered what relationship she would have with the Dragon Prince's reincarnation, and Di Tian silently struggled with the implications.
• Di Tian advised Chen Ming to cultivate properly and hide his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, then flew away from the ruins with him and the Silver Dragon King.

Chen Ming returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy after Di Tian and Long Na'er abruptly left, then investigated his new Golden Claw Spirit Bone skill. The Mountain Range Giant Dragon explained that the skill had mutated from his Yellow Dragon's Claw after Life Gold fused with his Soul Core, though its full effects remained unclear.

• Di Tian flew Chen Ming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and disappeared with Long Na'er, leaving Chen Ming to wonder what had happened.
• Chen Ming asked the Mountain Range Giant Dragon's soul about the relic and its abilities, while the dragon chose not to volunteer what he knew about Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King.
• Chen Ming tested Golden Claw and found that its force field let him pierce extremely tough metal while absorbing energy that tempered his Soul Power and body.
• The Mountain Range Giant Dragon said that Life Gold had consumed his life force and fused with his Soul Core during his Sacrifice, becoming Chen Ming's left arm bone and altering his Yellow Dragon's Claw.

Chen Ming learned how Life Gold and his dragon bloodlines combined to make his Golden Claw a powerful, life-draining, metal-shaping skill that could continue to grow. He moved three Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast souls into his left-arm Spirit Bone, then excavated a vast underground laboratory to begin experimenting.

• Chen Ming listened as the Mountain Range Giant Dragon described its life in the Star Dou Forest and studied the changes to his left arm.
• The Mountain Range Giant Dragon explained how Life Gold, Chen Ming's dragon bloodlines, and the former Heavy Armored Earth Dragon's traits let the Golden Claw pierce defenses, drain life force, and absorb and reshape metal.

• Chen Ming canceled his safeguards, widened the mine tunnel, excavated a deep underground laboratory, and began experimenting.

Chen Ming built a steelmaking furnace and refined his stored metals, then used them to create an electromagnetic projectile launcher. The weapon demonstrated how he could combine technology with Soul Power, and he left the furnace’s materials exhausted while considering stronger force-field weapons.

• Chen Ming constructed an underground steelmaking furnace and charcoal kiln, using coke to reach temperatures that exceeded Douluo World's Extreme Fire.
• Chen Ming spent more than two days operating the furnace and refined all the metal he had stored, leaving him without materials.
• Chen Ming complained that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should handle mining while he focused on technology.
• Chen Ming alloyed the refined metals into a hand cannon that fired thirty-gram projectiles at three times the speed of sound.
• Chen Ming estimated that the weapon could kill Titled Douluos and that a larger version might threaten Limit Douluos.
• Chen Ming considered modifying conductive Soul Power metal into a force-field weapon to boost projectile speed and penetration.

Chen Ming built the Douluo World's first unmanned production line, which mass-produced cheap, low-level Card-Type Storage Soul Tools. After recognizing the potential for industrialization, he considered how Soul Power and rare metals could support future technological development.

• Chen Ming programmed a Soul Tool core and used it to build mechanical arms, conveyor belts, and other production-line equipment.
• Chen Ming started the line, which processed metal sheets into one-cubic-meter Card-Type Storage Soul Tools.
• Chen Ming found that the line could produce 4,000 cards per hour at a cost of two Gold Soul Coins each, despite the cards' many flaws.
• Chen Ming recognized the production line as a foundation for industrialization and considered the Douluo World's untapped potential.
• Chen Ming noted that the world lacked oil and considered using Soul Power Batteries, then planned to visit the Sun Moon Continent for rare metals and technology.

Chen Ming prepared encrypted Soul Tool guns and costly ammunition to sell as luxury weapons, then released Ah Yin from his Storage Soul Tool. He left her at her place of growth after his blood excited her so intensely that she begged him for another drop.

• Chen Ming modified small Soul Tools and their ammunition so they were difficult to replicate and could be sold as high-end weapons.
• Chen Ming took Ah Yin out of the Storage Soul Tool after keeping her inside for more than half a year.
• Ah Yin complained through her notebook about her confinement, and Chen Ming apologized before offering her a drop of his blood.
• Ah Yin convulsed with excitement after absorbing Chen Ming’s blood, and her spiritual fluctuations reached the Blue Silver King through the Blue Silver Network.
• Ah Yin asked Chen Ming for another drop, but he refused for the time being and returned her to her place of growth.

Chen Ming gave Xiao Wu a Soul Tool gun, and her memories of ancient humans without Martial Souls led them to wonder whether the lost technology came from aliens or another world. Xiao Wu recalled her father’s explorations and the giant bear that killed him, leaving her grieving over the family she had lost.

• After three years confined to Dugu Bo's residence, Xiao Wu complained to Chen Ming that she desperately wanted to go outside.
• Chen Ming offered Xiao Wu his Soul Tool gun 1.0, which he said could kill powerful Soul Masters, and she accepted it skeptically.
• Xiao Wu recalled stories from her father about ancient humans who lacked Martial Souls and possessed powerful Soul Tool technology before disappearing.
• Chen Ming wondered whether the ancient humans had come from another world or planet, while Xiao Wu guessed they might have left for an island across the sea.
• Xiao Wu praised her father’s explorations, then recalled that a giant bear had eaten him and mourned that he had not been there to protect her mother.

Chen Ming suspected Xiao Wu had nearly left seven or eight months earlier and feared that an unseen force was trying to send her back to Tang San. He tested whether she could consume a Peerless Immortal Herb hidden inside a special metal, telling her the rare treasure could greatly strengthen her.

• Chen Ming reasoned that the Sun Moon Continent's metals and weaker Spirit Beasts made it a better base for technological development than Douluo Continent.
• Chen Ming asked Xiao Wu whether anything had been troubling her, and she said she had once considered leaving seven or eight months earlier but had stayed.
• Chen Ming connected that timing to Shrek's student recruitment and worried that someone was trying to reunite Xiao Wu with Tang San.
• Chen Ming gave Xiao Wu a special metal stone to test whether she could eat it, then described the powerful Peerless Immortal Herb hidden inside.

Xiao Wu failed to activate Lovesick Heartbreak Red with her feelings for her family, so Chen Ming drained the immortal herb’s seed instead. He absorbed its life force and refined a near-divine power hidden inside it, while Xiao Wu’s feelings toward him grew stronger.

• Xiao Wu struck herself and offered blood to the black stone while thinking of her family, but Lovesick Heartbreak Red did not respond.
• Chen Ming pierced the stone with his Golden Claw and extracted the seed’s immense life force and energy.
• Xiao Wu felt an unfamiliar, intense attraction to Chen Ming as the herb’s energy affected him.
• Chen Ming blocked a powerful aura hidden in the seed and sealed it within the Spirit Bone formed from Life Gold.
• Chen Ming refined the near-divine power, increasing his left arm bone’s age and strengthening his Golden Claw skill.

Chen Ming considered the hidden influence of the God Realm, weighed Sea God as a possible ally, and planned to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for research. After asking about Xiao Wu’s cultivation, he promised to help her conceal her aura so she could go outside with him.

• Chen Ming suspected a God King had interfered with events in the lower realm and wondered whether Angel God and Rakshasa God were still alive.
• Chen Ming considered contacting Sea God and keeping Sea God’s Godhood as a possible option for himself.
• Chen Ming decided to seek the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Empire, believing its origins as a God Rank Soul Tool made it valuable to study.
• Xiao Wu told Chen Ming she had reached Rank 38 and planned to condense a black Spirit Ring for her fourth ring.
• Chen Ming promised to help Xiao Wu conceal her aura so she could leave confinement and accompany him, and Xiao Wu excitedly kissed him.

Chen Ming asked Qian Renxue to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud so he could study it, and she secured the treasure from Xue Ye. When Chen Ming touched it and sent Spiritual Power into it, the artifact pierced his defenses and merged into his head bone.

• Chen Ming told Qian Renxue he wanted the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as a sample for his Soul Tool research.
• Qian Renxue promised to request the treasure from Xue Ye, believing Chen Ming was worthy of it.
• Qian Renxue returned from the palace with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and showed it to Chen Ming.
• Chen Ming touched the treasure and sent a trace of Spiritual Power into it.
• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew into Chen Ming's head and merged into his head bone despite his Dragon Transformation defenses.

As the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud fused with Chen Ming's Spirit Bone, he uncovered its origins as the surviving core of an alien civilization's spacecraft and learned how its powers became the Shroud's four skills. The Sea God appeared through the artifact and offered Chen Ming a chance to inherit his godhood, leaving Chen Ming facing the legendary deity's unexpectedly casual pitch.

• Chen Ming analyzed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's code and discovered that it came from Ocean's Heart, a spacecraft built by a technological civilization that had fled to Douluo Star before Spirit Beasts destroyed it.
• Chen Ming learned that the civilization's descendants developed Soul Tools and pursued a failed God-Making Project, while Ocean's Heart's converted core eventually became the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Chen Ming identified the Shroud's four skills as the spacecraft's concealment and defense system, restraint function, group-fire attack, and main cannon.
• The Sea God awakened inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and admitted that Chen Ming's Spiritual Power had nearly let him refine the artifact before its underlying permissions were unlocked.
• The Sea God introduced himself as Poseidon and offered Chen Ming the Shroud, a super divine artifact, and a path to godhood in exchange for taking over his burden.
