Vina later confessed and offered the Soul Bone back to Long Zhanye, who warned her that returning it could expose her to Elder Wu’s anger.

• Elder Wu delivered the Demon Soul Great White Shark Right Leg Bone to Elder Zhu’s family, then decided to divert Long Zhanye’s Demon Eye Demon Tree Skull to Vina.
• Elder Wu argued that Vina’s Twin Martial Souls and healthy future made her a better recipient, and forced her to accept the Soul Bone despite her protests.

• Long Zhanye calmly warned Vina that returning the Soul Bone could anger Elder Wu and be difficult to conceal, but Vina insisted she would avoid absorbing it for now.

After three years of treatment, his heart had recovered enough for him to attempt cultivation again, but Old Man Gu warned that his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul required Soul Rings containing Chaos Power.

• Vina gave Long Zhanye the Spirit Bone, and he promised to find one suited to her in the future if she was punished for it.
• Long Zhanye stored the Spirit Bone and vowed to recover, become stronger, and make Shrek repay its blood debt.
• Three years of Old Man Gu’s alchemy restored about eighty percent of Long Zhanye’s damaged heart meridians, and his Soul Power rose from level forty-five to forty-nine without cultivation.
• Old Man Gu allowed Long Zhanye to begin basic cultivation, while Elder Xu offered to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul beast.
• Old Man Gu opposed Elder Xu’s plan and explained that Long Zhanye’s Heavenly Eye Martial Soul likely had the Chaos Attribute and needed Soul Rings containing Chaos Power.

Long Zhanye agreed to let Old Man Gu arrange the Soul Rings for his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul, and the two set out for the Star Dou Great Forest with Zhua Yun. Old Man Gu revealed that Long Zhanye could begin with a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring and identified the rare Twin Cyclops as a possible Chaos-attribute soul beast.

• Old Man Gu warned Long Zhanye not to let anyone else choose his Soul Rings, and Long Zhanye promised to follow his arrangements.
• Long Zhanye declined Elder Xu's offer, and Elder Xu accepted Old Man Gu's expertise while urging caution.

• Old Man Gu named the Twin Cyclops, a rare mutant of the Cyclops clan, as a soul beast associated with the Chaos attribute.

Old Man Gu explained why the Cyclops clan was confined and prevented from producing hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, and led Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun toward their territory to find a suitable Soul Ring. When Long Zhanye asked how they could approach the Cyclopes undetected, Old Man Gu scolded him for not taking something out.

• Old Man Gu revealed that Cyclopes had unstable Chaos attributes and that their Soul Rings could suit Long Zhanye’s Heavenly Eye Martial Soul.
• Old Man Gu explained that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hunted Cyclopes and that Fierce Beasts confined the clan and killed individuals nearing sixty thousand years of cultivation.
• Old Man Gu said the clan’s territory held tens of thousands of Cyclopes but warned that their spiritual detection made approaching them extremely dangerous.
• When Long Zhanye asked how to avoid detection, Old Man Gu gestured at him with his cane and demanded that he take something out.

Long Zhanye and Old Man Gu used Mental Interference Bombs to approach the Cyclops territory without being detected, then hid near the basin where the tribe lived. They waited for a suitable Cyclops to emerge and watched the tribe pour out at night to forage.

• Old Man Gu reminded Long Zhanye to search his Storage Soul Tool, and Long Zhanye found Class 5 Mental Interference Bombs that could block most Spirit Detection.
• Old Man Gu told Long Zhanye to detonate a bomb roughly every ten li, and Long Zhanye created a path of mental blind spots as they traveled.
• The three reached the edge of the Cyclops basin and hid while Old Man Gu warned them not to enter the territory or alert the tribe.
• Long Zhanye observed that the Cyclopes lived in huts, built crude defenses, and carried out organized daily activities.
• At dusk, thousands of Cyclopes poured out of the basin, and Old Man Gu explained that they had adapted to nocturnal life to avoid predators.

Zhua Yun killed a Cyclops so Long Zhanye could absorb his first Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, which raised his Soul Power to level fifty. Afterward, Old Man Gu led Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun deeper into the Cyclops basin to find more Soul Rings.

• Old Man Gu spotted a sluggish Cyclops of roughly eighteen thousand years and had Zhua Yun test his strength by attacking it.
• Zhua Yun used his Bronze Level Awakening and Green-Splitting Claw to kill the Cyclops while Long Zhanye’s Mental Interference Bomb blocked its howl from reaching others.

• Old Man Gu praised them and led Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun past the territory’s outer perimeter into the basin’s inner habitat.

Long Zhanye, Old Man Gu, and Zhua Yun searched the Cyclops habitat for a suitable Soul Ring target without harming mothers or young. Old Man Gu found a rare, wounded Chaos Two-Headed Dragon, and Long Zhanye absorbed its thirty-two-thousand-year Soul Ring, reaching level fifty-one.

• Old Man Gu sent Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun to search separately, prioritizing sick, injured, old, or isolated Cyclopes and avoiding females with young.
• Long Zhanye passed up several suitable female Cyclopes because they were caring for their young, and used his Heavenly Eye’s vague visions to avoid disturbances.

• After several hours, Long Zhanye completed the absorption, and his Soul Power rose to level fifty-one.

• Old Man Gu proposed attacking a crippled Cyclops he estimated had at least forty thousand years of cultivation, and the group found it in a remote corner of the habitat.
• Old Man Gu revealed his Qilin Arm and two Dead Rings, while Zhua Yun told Long Zhanye that Gu had once been a Soul Douluo whose cultivation had fallen to level sixty-seven.
• Old Man Gu, Zhua Yun, and Long Zhanye overwhelmed the wounded Cyclops, and Long Zhanye delivered the final blow with the Azure Underworld Dagger.
• Long Zhanye absorbed the Cyclops's forty-thousand-year Soul Ring after nearly five hours, gaining his third ring and rising to level fifty-two.
• As returning Cyclopes approached the nest at dawn, Old Man Gu urged the group to flee, and they raced toward the habitat's outskirts.

Long Zhanye, Zhua Yun, and Old Man Gu fled the Cyclops habitat but were pursued by three Soul Beasts, including a powerful Double-Eyed Cyclops. Long Zhanye agreed to fight the leader for its Soul Ring while Zhua Yun engaged the other two, leaving Old Man Gu resting nearby.

• Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun ran from the Cyclops habitat, then returned to help the exhausted Old Man Gu catch up.
• The three fled several dozen li into the forest, where three pursuing Soul Beasts caught up with them.
• Old Man Gu identified the pursuers as relatives of the injured Cyclops, and Zhua Yun estimated the leader at forty-six to forty-eight thousand years of cultivation.
• Old Man Gu proposed the Double-Eyed Cyclops as Long Zhanye's Fourth Soul Ring, and Long Zhanye agreed to fight it.
• Old Man Gu said he was too exhausted to battle, so Zhua Yun took on the two thirty-thousand-year Cyclopes while Long Zhanye faced their leader.

Long Zhanye used a Level 5 Fixed Soul-Guided High-Explosive Shell to badly wound the Double-Eyed Cyclops, but the enraged beast stood back up. With Zhua Yun still occupied fighting another Cyclops, Long Zhanye revealed his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul and three black Ten-Thousand Year Soul Rings.

• The Double-Eyed Cyclops wielded an uprooted tree to block Long Zhanye’s Level 3 Flame Cannon shots as it closed in on him.

• Long Zhanye fired seven more shells at the fallen Cyclops, leaving it badly wounded but alive.
• The Double-Eyed Cyclops rose again and fixed Long Zhanye with its furious killing intent.
• Seeing Zhua Yun still fighting another Cyclops, Long Zhanye revealed his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul and three black Ten-Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Long Zhanye used Chaos Demon Light to blind and disorient the Double-Eyed Cyclops, then wounded it repeatedly with the Azure Underworld Dagger. After he slashed one of its eyes, the enraged beast unleashed a devastating cross-shaped blade of Chaos Power.

• Long Zhanye activated Chaos Demon Light, blinding targets and blocking their Mental Power while his Heavenly Eye let him see through the light.
• Long Zhanye repeatedly attacked the Double-Eyed Cyclops's legs and body with the Azure Underworld Dagger as it flailed blindly.

• The Double-Eyed Cyclops's remaining eye glowed crimson and fired a cross-shaped gray blade of Chaos Power that withered plants in its path.
• Long Zhanye sensed the danger of the beast's desperate counterattack and braced himself.

Long Zhanye used his Colorless Wall and Corrosive Ray Cannon to defeat and kill a severely wounded Double-Eyed Cyclops. After Zhua Yun finished off two other Cyclopes, he praised Long Zhanye’s strength, and Old Man Gu congratulated them both.

• Long Zhanye layered three Colorless Walls to block the Double-Eyed Cyclops’s final Cross Gray Light Blade.

• Zhua Yun praised Long Zhanye, and Old Man Gu rose to congratulate them.

After Long Zhanye defeated the Twin Cyclops, he discovered that its remains had produced two rare eyeball-shaped External Soul Bones. Old Man Gu identified the treasure, but Long Zhanye hesitated over where the bones might fuse as he prepared to absorb them.

• Long Zhanye noticed that Old Man Gu had stopped pretending to be frail and went to absorb the Twin Cyclops's Soul Ring.
• Long Zhanye spotted two jade-like objects hovering over the Twin Cyclops's ruined eye sockets, and Old Man Gu rushed over in shock.
• Old Man Gu identified the objects as two eyeball-shaped External Soul Bones, astonishing Long Zhanye and Zhua Yun.
• Long Zhanye asked where the External Soul Bones would fuse, and Old Man Gu admitted they might appear on Long Zhanye's face or elsewhere on his body.

Long Zhanye absorbed a Forty-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Head Spirit Bone, then began fusing two eyeball-shaped External Soul Bones. The fusion overwhelmed him with agony and left him unconscious, while Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun could only guard him and hope he survived.

• Old Man Gu urged Long Zhanye to absorb the two External Soul Bones and the Hundred Thousand Year Head Spirit Bone together, and Long Zhanye agreed.
• Long Zhanye successfully fused the Head Spirit Bone and absorbed the Forty-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, raising his Soul Power to level fifty-four and greatly strengthening his spiritual power.
• The two External Soul Bones circled Long Zhanye before shooting into his eyes and beginning a painful fusion.
• Long Zhanye felt the foreign eyeballs trying to displace his own, lost consciousness, and collapsed.
• Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun hurried to Long Zhanye and stood guard as Old Man Gu warned that the fusion's outcome depended on whether Long Zhanye could pull through.

After waking beside the campfire, Long Zhanye discovered his eyes had evolved into Double Pupils with extraordinary vision, shocking Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun. He also found his Soul Power had risen to the peak of level fifty-four, and he resolved to obtain a suitable Fifth Soul Ring and recover the cultivation he had lost.

• Long Zhanye woke hungry after his battles and saw Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun eating roasted Cyclops meat.
• Long Zhanye noticed his vision had become exceptionally clear and could perceive distant details and fast-moving creatures.
• Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun reacted with alarm when they saw Long Zhanye's eyes.
• Long Zhanye saw in a puddle that each eye now had two pupils, and Old Man Gu identified the legendary Double Pupils.
• Long Zhanye sensed that his fused External Soul Bone had granted him Double Pupils and powerful spiritual potential.
• Long Zhanye discovered his Soul Power had reached the peak of level fifty-four and resolved to obtain a Fifth Soul Ring to regain his lost progress.

Long Zhanye woke from a dream in which the God of Sin appeared to grant him a mysterious Fifth Soul Ring. The ring was real, and after Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun discovered it, Long Zhanye began testing its Fifth Soul Skill.

• In a dream, Long Zhanye heard a voice describe nine near-gods and saw an eerie black Soul Ring form in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Long Zhanye woke to find five black Soul Rings beneath his feet and his Soul Power stabilized at level fifty-five.
• Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun were shocked by the new ring and questioned Long Zhanye, who said it had appeared after a strange dream.
• Old Man Gu asked Long Zhanye to reveal the Fifth Soul Skill, and Long Zhanye began forming a seal to activate it.

Long Zhanye demonstrated the domain granted by his mysterious Fifth Soul Ring, which let him absorb elemental energy, move freely within its range, and control Chaos Power. He told Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun that an unknown being had bestowed the ring through his Sea of Consciousness, leaving Old Man Gu convinced that Long Zhanye might be chosen by a god.

• Long Zhanye activated his Son of Mingling Soul Skill, creating a domain that drained and converted elemental energy while restoring his strength.
• Long Zhanye vanished from across the domain and appeared beside Old Man Gu, frightening him; Long Zhanye then explained he could move anywhere in the domain and control its elemental energy.
• Old Man Gu demanded to know where Long Zhanye's Fifth Soul Ring came from, and Long Zhanye said an unknown being had placed it in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Old Man Gu concluded that only a god could bestow such a powerful Soul Ring and wondered if Long Zhanye was god-chosen.
• Long Zhanye said the being had only promised to bestow fortune upon him before the Soul Ring appeared, strengthening Old Man Gu's belief.

Old Man Gu praised Long Zhanye’s talent and promised to train him, but Zhua Yun sensed that a hidden observer had witnessed Long Zhanye’s Fifth Soul Skill. Long Zhanye pursued the spy himself and found a composed young woman named Ye Guyi, who greeted him politely.

• Old Man Gu offered to teach Long Zhanye everything he had kept hidden for three months, and Long Zhanye accepted.
• Zhua Yun reported sensing a Spirit King or possible Soul Emperor spying on Long Zhanye’s Fifth Soul Skill from at least a thousand meters away.
• Old Man Gu ordered Zhua Yun to find and kill the spy to prevent Long Zhanye’s abilities from becoming known.
• Long Zhanye stopped Zhua Yun and rushed toward the suspected observer, saying he would handle the danger himself.
• Long Zhanye found Ye Guyi in the forest, and she introduced herself with a friendly greeting.

Long Zhanye attacked Ye Guyi after deciding she had to die for learning his secret, and their fight escalated from close combat to Soul Tool fire. Ye Guyi was driven into an increasingly perilous retreat by Long Zhanye’s Level 6 weapons.

• Ye Guyi introduced herself as a member of the Ordinary Alliance and invited Long Zhanye to join its fight against Evil Soul Masters.
• Long Zhanye refused and attacked Ye Guyi with his Azure Underworld Dagger because she had seen his secret.

• Long Zhanye revealed a Level 6 Corrosive Ray Cannon and a Soul Power Backlash Shield after Ye Guyi intensified her sword assault.
• Long Zhanye fired repeated corrosive rays, forcing Ye Guyi to dodge through the terrain as her situation grew increasingly dangerous.

Long Zhanye spared Ye Guyi after she revealed her Holy Angel Martial Soul, but warned her to keep his abilities secret. He returned to Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun, claiming he had killed her, while Ye Guyi fled the forest and Long Zhanye’s party headed back to their sect.

• Ye Guyi awakened her Holy Angel Martial Soul, and Long Zhanye recognized it as a sacred weapon against Evil Soul Masters.
• Long Zhanye lowered his Soul Tools, spared Ye Guyi, and warned that he would kill her if she revealed his abilities.

• Ye Guyi withdrew her Martial Soul and departed in the opposite direction from Long Zhanye.
• Long Zhanye returned to Old Man Gu and Zhua Yun and falsely claimed that he had killed Ye Guyi.
• Old Man Gu ordered the group to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, and Long Zhanye followed while briefly looking back toward Ye Guyi’s departure.
