Chapter Summaries

The Sun Moon Empire shattered the Star Luo Empire’s defenses, killing Dai Hao and leaving Xu Jiawei near death before Ye Guyi rescued him to the Undead Semi-Plane. Ning Que prepared to help Shrek while awaiting Tang San’s intervention, and Wang Dong reunited with Huo Yuhao and told him the details of her divine trial, enraging Tang San.

• Dai Yueheng withdrew with his wife and subordinates as the Sun Moon Empire broke through the Star Luo Empire’s defenses, and Dai Hao died on the front lines.
• Ye Guyi arrived too late to save Xu Jiawei’s life, but brought him to the Undead Semi-Plane, where Ning Que explained that he would manage its undead creatures and Soul Spirits.

• Wang Dong found Huo Yuhao, reunited with him, and revealed the details of her divine trial despite its ban on telling outsiders.
• Tang San sensed that Wang Dong’s divine trial had gone wrong and was so furious he nearly vomited blood.

Tang San altered Wang Dong’s divine trial and withdrew from directly interfering in Douluo Continent while ordering his allies to keep watch. In Shrek City, Ning Que urged Zhang Lexuan and the others to retreat and survive, warning that the Sun Moon Empire planned to use Shrek Academy to legitimize its invasion.

• Tang San cursed Wang Dong for rejecting godhood and exposing her divine trial, then decided to restore her eligibility while avoiding further rash interference.
• Tang San altered Wang Dong’s divine trial, ordered Sea God Island and Daming to monitor Douluo Continent, and set out to find the god watching from the shadows.
• Ning Que urged Zhang Lexuan and her people to withdraw to a secluded place after their severe losses.
• Zhang Lexuan refused, unwilling to betray Shrek Academy by retreating.
• Ning Que warned Zhang Lexuan, Bei Bei, and the others that the Sun Moon Empire would exploit Shrek Academy’s influence to justify its invasion and turn survivors into its tools.

Ning Que convinced Shrek’s people to arrange safe passage for their families and others, warning that Sea God might not arrive in time. As he made preparations, injured Xuan Zi returned and mistook the evacuation plans for betrayal.

• Ning Que argued that Sea God might be unable to intervene before Shrek City fell, and urged everyone to consider their families and the people of the city.
• Dai Yueheng agreed to stay at Shrek Academy for now but said he would leave if Sea God had not helped by the final moment, so he could protect the Dai family and White Tiger Lineage.

• Ning Que left to arrange for Zhang Lexuan, Dai Yueheng, and the others’ relatives to evacuate, while Elder Yi and the others waited to see whether God King Tang would descend.
• Xuan Zi returned after being injured by a Class 9 soul cannon and, seeing people prepare to flee to Shrek Academy, angrily accused Zhang Lexuan and the others of desertion and betrayal.

Xuan Zi attacked Ning Que in anger, but Ning Que suppressed him with his Nine-Colored Divine Light and prepared a devastating Ninth-Tier Magic. The clash left Xuan Zi facing the possibility that his own actions could destroy Shrek City and make him a sinner of Shrek Academy.

• Ning Que confronted Xuan Zi as his gathered power threatened to flatten half of Shrek City, leaving Xuan Zi alarmed at the consequences.

• Xuan Zi backed down, ending the conflict, and chose to call a meeting about the crisis.

With Shrek Academy weakened by its losses and the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion, Ning Que proposed plans to rally former students and preserve the academy’s Core Flame. The empire conquered Star Luo’s imperial city before abruptly turning its forces toward Shrek Academy.

• Xuan Zi convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting and asked how Shrek Academy should respond to the Sun Moon Empire’s invasion.
• The attendees discussed seeking help from the Sea God, the Clear Sky Sect, and Sea God Island, but Xuan Zi said he had received no response.
• Xuan Zi asked Ning Que for a solution, and Ning Que proposed uniting former students and preparing to preserve Shrek Academy’s Core Flame.
• Xuan Zi accepted Ning Que’s proposals, while Ning Que continued building his strength after the meeting.
• The Sun Moon Empire captured Star Luo’s imperial city and vast territory, then redirected its army toward Shrek Academy.

Ning Que joined Shrek Academy’s defenders as the Sun Moon Empire besieged Shrek City, boosting more than a thousand people with his Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. The battle began with Xuan Zi charging at Kong Deming and Xu Tianran, while Ning Que withdrew to recover.

• Xuan Zi charged toward Kong Deming and Xu Tianran, while Ning Que retreated to recover his depleted Soul Power.

After Shrek Academy's Golden Tree vanished, Ye Guyi gained god-level soul rings and reached the Limit Douluo realm, while Electrolux revealed his plans to Ning Que. Ning Que learned that Ye Guyi was pregnant.

• Dai Yueheng, Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan, and Kong Deming left Shrek Academy, and Ning Que departed through a passage to the Undead Semi-Plane with the Golden Tree.
• The Golden Tree's sacrifice gave Ye Guyi three more god-level soul rings and helped her break through to the Limit Douluo realm.
• Electrolux revealed that he had used the Golden Tree's remains to create a body and planned to form soul rings using Gold of Life.
• Electrolux asked Ning Que to contact Di Tian about trading Gold of Life for help healing his injuries, and told Ning Que to see Ye Guyi.
• Ye Guyi told Ning Que that she was pregnant.

After learning that Ye Guyi was pregnant, Ning Que remained in the Undead Semi-Plane to protect her and their child while studying under Electrolux. Tang San discovered how drastically Douluo Continent had changed and began considering sending Ma Hongjun there to intervene.

• Ning Que learned that Ye Guyi was pregnant and decided to keep the child while continuing his plans.
• Electrolux advised Ning Que and Ye Guyi to stay in the Undead Semi-Plane because the God Realm might be searching for the Golden Tree.
• Ning Que cared for Ye Guyi and studied under Elder Yi as the Sun Moon Empire's invasion advanced after Shrek Academy was dealt with.
• Tang San discovered that the Golden Tree and Shrek Academy were gone and that the Sun Moon Empire had conquered much of the continent.
• Tang San considered gathering forces, sending his parents, or dispatching a god, then settled on Ma Hongjun as a possible choice.

Tang San hesitated to act after sensing an unknown deity’s power near Shrek Academy, while Ning Que completed his Class 10 natal Soul Tool, the God-Devouring Spear. With the Rakshasa Secret Realm located and Ye Guyi nearing childbirth, Ning Que prepared to leave for another continent to retrieve needed items.

• Tang San decided he might descend to Douluo Continent through Wang Dong after noticing an unfamiliar divine aura near Shrek Academy.
• Over half a year passed, and Ye Guyi’s pregnancy neared its end as Ning Que forged a Class 10 Soul Tool under Electrolux’s guidance.
• Ning Que severed part of his soul origin and merged it into his long spear, completing the God-Devouring Spear as his second martial soul’s foundation.
• Electrolux told Ning Que that he had roughly located the Rakshasa Secret Realm but needed an item held by Evil Soul Masters to enter it.
• Ning Que asked to take Ye Guyi to another continent before their child’s birth, and Electrolux agreed and told him to retrieve the items he needed.

Ning Que returned to the war-torn Douluo Continent and traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet Di Tian and the ferocious beasts. He provoked Bear Lord into a contest of physical strength, and Di Tian realized Ning Que’s vitality and physique rivaled those of a pure-blooded true dragon.

• Ning Que left the Undead Semi-Plane and saw that the Sun Moon Empire had conquered and begun rebuilding the Douluo Three Kingdoms, while Tang San had yet to act.
• Ning Que used spatial magic to reach the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, where Di Tian discovered him and led him to meet the gathered ferocious beasts.
• Bear Lord reacted with hostility to Ning Que, and Ning Que challenged him to compare strength.
• Bear Lord attacked Ning Que with a powerful claw, and Ning Que charged forward without using spiritual power or Soul Power.
• Di Tian sensed Ning Que’s immense vitality and blood energy and recognized that his physical strength rivaled a pure-blooded true dragon’s.

Ning Que provoked Bear Lord into revealing his evolved bloodline and its instinctive hostility toward the Dragon Clan, prompting Di Tian to intervene. With the conflict halted, Ning Que turned to his reason for coming: offering his teacher’s help with someone’s injuries.

• Ning Que matched Bear Lord’s strength and taunted him, drawing out his full power and Sky-Rending Claw.
• Di Tian sensed Bear Lord’s bloodline instinctively suppressing the Dragon Clan and realized Ning Que had provoked him to expose it.
• Di Tian stopped Bear Lord and warned him that he would tolerate his existence as long as Bear Lord did nothing excessive.
• Di Tian asked Ning Que why he had come, and Ning Que offered his teacher’s help treating that person’s injuries.

Ning Que negotiated with Di Tian for Gold of Life and a chance to turn Bear Lord into a Soul Spirit, then asked him to capture the Mermaid Clan chief for his ninth soul ring. Di Tian agreed to the capture and left to consult Lord about the Gold of Life, while Ning Que stayed in Star Dou Great Forest to approach Bear Lord.

• Ning Que told Di Tian that Electrolux could help heal Lord in exchange for Gold of Life and discussed his plan to take Bear Lord as a Soul Spirit.
• Di Tian hesitated to give up Bear Lord, but Ning Que explained that he intended to bring him to the God Realm rather than kill him.
• Ning Que asked Di Tian to capture the Mermaid Clan chief as the target of his ninth soul ring, promising a reward that could help Di Tian advance.
• Di Tian agreed to capture the Mermaid Clan chief despite knowing the mission could bring the Sea God's attention.
• Di Tian said he would consult Lord about the Gold of Life and return with an answer within three months, while Ning Que chose to remain in Star Dou Great Forest and approach Bear Lord.

Ning Que tried to recruit Bear Lord by offering him a chance to surpass Di Tian, but Bear Lord rejected him and left intent on killing him. Di Tian later confirmed the Silver Dragon King had accepted Ning Que’s deal, gave him Gold of Life, and allowed him to try persuading Bear Lord as long as he did not force him.

• Ning Que saw how the Auspicious Beast’s growth had transformed the Star Dou Great Forest and considered keeping it alive for its value.
• Bear Lord confronted Ning Que, blamed him for exposing his bloodline reversion, and threatened to kill him.
• Ning Que offered Bear Lord an opportunity to grow stronger and suppress Di Tian, but Bear Lord rejected the offer and walked away.
• Ning Que continued exploring the forest and collected things he found valuable.
• Di Tian brought Ning Que a large piece of Gold of Life and said the Silver Dragon King had agreed to the deal.
• Di Tian allowed Ning Que to persuade Bear Lord to submit but forbade him from forcing Bear Lord to comply.

Ning Que gave Elder Yi the Gold of Life and entrusted him with the Undead Semi-Plane while Elder Yi prepared to travel the Douluo Plane in his true body. After Di Tian returned with the Mermaid Clan Chief, Ning Que killed her and revealed a demigod artifact.

• Ning Que delivered Gold of Life to Elder Yi, who said he would leave the Undead Semi-Plane and temporarily entrusted its control to Ning Que.
• Elder Yi told Ning Que that Mu En was nearly finished converting and could soon form a summoning contract with people outside.
• Ning Que checked on Ye Guyi, then left her in the Undead Semi-Plane and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Di Tian returned five days later with the severely wounded Mermaid Clan Chief, a six-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast loyal to Tang San.
• Ning Que decided not to make the Mermaid Clan Chief his Soul Spirit, killed her, and surprised Di Tian by revealing a demigod artifact.

Ning Que absorbed the Mermaid Clan Chief’s six-hundred-thousand-year soul ring with help from Snow Empress and the Blue Silver Emperor, overcoming her remnant soul. He became a Title Douluo at rank ninety-six and gained two powerful soul skills and a skull soul bone for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

• Ning Que warned Di Tian not to underestimate the development of human Soul Tools, and Di Tian took the warning seriously.
• Ning Que began absorbing the Mermaid Clan Chief’s soul ring, while her remnant soul tried to destroy him from within.
• Ning Que summoned Snow Empress and the Blue Silver Emperor to suppress the remnant soul, then shattered it with Soul Severing.
• After five days and five nights, Ning Que completed the absorption and broke through to rank ninety-six, becoming a Title Douluo.
• Ning Que gained Starlight Protection and a large-area skill that removed negative statuses, and he set aside the Mermaid Clan Chief’s skull soul bone as an inheritance for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

After becoming a Title Douluo, Ning Que thanked Di Tian and left the Star Dou Great Forest with Guyi for the Overseas Continent. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong advanced in their divine trials as Tang San discovered his faith power was declining and suspected the God King of Destruction had taken the Golden Tree.

• Ning Que put away the six-hundred-thousand-year skull soul bone, then challenged Bear Lord to fight again, but Bear Lord refused.
• Ning Que thanked Di Tian, promised to fulfill his and his teacher's agreement, and left with Guyi through the Undead Semi-Plane for the Overseas Continent.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong reached a critical stage in their divine trials, and their strength rapidly increased.
• Tang San sensed that the power of faith from the Douluo Plane was dwindling and lamented that Shrek Academy had fallen and the Golden Tree had disappeared.
• Tang San concluded that only a true God King could have taken the Golden Tree without his knowledge, and suspected the God King of Destruction.

Tang San used Wang Dong’s ninth Butterfly God trial to descend on Douluo Continent through his Sea God soul skill, hoping to drive out the Sun Moon Empire and strengthen his position. Rong Nianbing noticed Tang San’s excessive interest in the planet but remained focused on passing his divine position to Huo Yuhao, and Tang San arrived at the former Shrek Academy.

• Tang San suspected the God King of Destruction had sabotaged his plans, but he chose not to confront him while he lacked strength and instead ordered Wang Dong to repeatedly use Sea God’s Descent.
• Wang Dong told Huo Yuhao about the ninth trial despite Tang San’s instruction to keep it secret, and Huo Yuhao encouraged him to complete it so they could ascend together.
• Electrolux recognized Tang San’s plan but stayed silent, while Rong Nianbing discovered Electrolux within Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and learned a fabricated account of their fused souls.
• Rong Nianbing noticed Tang San’s unusually possessive attention toward Douluo Continent but decided it did not concern him and continued focusing on Huo Yuhao’s succession.
• Wang Dong used Sea God’s Descent at a designated location, allowing Tang San to descend with part of his divine power at the former Shrek Academy, now controlled by the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran and Kong Deming weighed their options after the Sea God appeared, while Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe remained devoted to Shrek Academy despite becoming Evil Soul Masters. The Sun Moon Empire prepared to resist or withdraw strategically, and Xuan Zi watched the Sea God from hiding.

• Xu Tianran asked Kong Deming whether the Sun Moon Empire could fight the Sea God, and Kong Deming said a combined Soul Engineer strike might only injure him.
• Xu Tianran abandoned the idea of a direct fight but planned to make the empire's forces attempt resistance and keep troops secretly in the Douluo Three Kingdoms if they withdrew.
• Xuan Zi watched the Sea God in the sky and rejoiced that he had not abandoned them, but stayed hidden because he had become an Evil Soul Master.
• Xuan Zi recalled escaping Kong Deming's capture, devouring the blood and essence of soul beasts, and seeking strength to take revenge and rebuild Shrek Academy.
• Yan Shaozhe secretly seized another Evil Soul Master's power and believed he could advance further while declaring his heart still yearned for the light.
