Chapter Summaries

Ju Zi and the Sun Moon Empire's group checked into a hotel in Heaven Dou City and discussed how to proceed after discovering how powerful this era was. They agreed to avoid harming civilians, while Ju Zi argued against searching for Xu Tianran because he was being hunted and helping him would make the empire a target.

• Xu Tianran hid from the Sun Moon Empire's group as they passed him, intending to find a place to stay near them after the danger passed.
• Ju Zi's group checked into a hotel near the city gate, where Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, Kong Deming, and the other Consecration Hall members gathered in her room.

• Xu Tianyuan suggested finding Xu Tianran, but Ju Zi warned that helping him while he was being hunted would make them enemies of the world and weaken the empire's position.

• Ju Zi argued that Ye Mu would judge them by their sincerity rather than their origins, and resolved to ask Huo Yuhao how he had earned Ye Mu’s approval.

• Tang Wutong worried about her parents and the coming judgment of her father, while Ye Mu reflected that Tang San had corrupted the Peerless God Realm by controlling divine positions and their inheritors.

Xu Tianran waited near the city gates for his Sun Moon Empire allies, believing they would help him conquer the era, but Ye Xishui and Ju Zi dismissed his plans in favor of seeking Ye Mu’s approval and the chance to become gods.

• Ye Xishui and Ju Zi supported Ye Mu’s competition proposal, and Ye Mu told Xue Ye to prepare venues in or around Heaven Dou City.

Yu Luomian proposed letting deities compete after Ye Mu sealed their powers, giving the empires a chance to win more prizes in the Territory Competition. Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao joined Shrek Academy’s preparations, and Huo Yuhao suggested entering the Soul Emperor stage because he was wary of stronger deities at higher levels.

At the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San reunited with Tang Hao, who had recovered to Soul Saint level but gained only a twelve-thousand-year seventh Soul Ring.

With the Clear Sky Sect destroyed and nowhere safe to go, he led Tang San and Yu Xiaogang deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest to seek shelter.

• Tang Hao told Tang San that his weakened Bamboo Shoot Hammer could not handle powerful soul beasts or Clear Sky Sect techniques, forcing him to settle for a twelve-thousand-year soul ring.
