Chapter Summaries

Di Ruiqiu made her debut by facing seven opponents alone and overwhelming them with her Soul Saint cultivation, Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

• Di Ruiqiu entered the arena alone, prompting Xia Ming to recall his own solo debut there ten years earlier.
• At the referee’s signal, Di Ruiqiu revealed seven Soul Rings, including two red Hundred-Thousand-Year rings, and her dragon pressure extinguished the opponents’ Soul Rings and forced them down.
• Di Ruiqiu vanished from her starting position and appeared before the seven contestants, then threw a seemingly slow punch at the nearest one.
• The referee intervened and shielded the contestant, but Di Ruiqiu’s unskilled punch cracked the Soul Guidance Shield and left the referee shaken.
• Di Ruiqiu withdrew her fist as the opponents lay unable to fight, and the spectators and competing teams stared in stunned silence.

• Xia Ming stopped Wang Dong'er from leaving and asked her to stay, prompting an embarrassed misunderstanding and irritating Di Ruiqiu, who had hoped to spend the evening alone with him.
• Xia Ming told Di Ruiqiu that Faith Power could help purify and elevate her bloodline, and she sensed the power already gathered within her.
• Xia Ming explained that Wang Dong'er's bloodline came from a God King and that she had awakened only a fraction of its potential; Wang Dong'er reacted with visible discomfort.
• Xia Ming reassured Wang Dong'er that he could call upon Sea God Faith as a source of power, which could help address her bloodline.
• Xia Ming asked Di Ruiqiu and Wang Dong'er to calm their minds as he prepared to guide them in sensing Faith Power for the first time.

Xia Ming used Faith Power to help Wang Dong'er remove Tang San’s imprint from her bloodline and guide Di Ruiqiu’s Golden Dragon bloodline toward ascension. Wang Dong'er’s Martial Soul changed as she began recovering, while Di Ruiqiu’s strength continued to rise.

• Xia Ming showed Di Ruiqiu the faith gathered from the Star Dou Great Forest’s soul beasts and drew purified Sea God Faith Power for Wang Dong'er.
• Xia Ming used Faith Power to strip Tang San’s bloodline imprint from Wang Dong'er, leaving her temporarily weakened as her Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul changed.

• Faith Power entered Di Ruiqiu’s Golden Dragon bloodline, driving its evolution and steadily increasing her combat strength.

As Di Ruiqiu and Wang Dong'er continued their bloodline cultivation, Bei Bei led Shrek Academy into the second round without them. He revealed himself as a Soul Saint with a Bright Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and a Hundred-Thousand-Year seventh Soul Ring, stunning the arena.

Xia Ming entered the Valley of Love and Emotion to erase the secret realm’s threat and attempt to awaken the fallen God of Love. After the realm’s rules began testing him, he focused his attention on its core and the authority now held by Ning Rongrong.

• Xia Ming investigated the golden-and-silver lake west of Ming Capital and let its light pull him into a crystal realm.
• The realm announced a test of love and emotion, but Xia Ming identified it as the Valley of Love and Emotion.
• Xia Ming recalled how Tang San had used the valley to control Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao, and decided the realm was no longer a danger he needed to avoid.
• Xia Ming resolved to destroy the valley’s potential threat and try to awaken the God of Love’s remnant soul and claim its First-Class God Position for someone close to him.

Xia Ming broke free of the Valley of Love and Emotion’s rules and captured Ning Rongrong’s divine consciousness, exposing her interference in the lower realm. As he traced her connection to the God Realm and struck across realms, Ning Rongrong transferred her connection and authorization to Oscar so he would take the blame.

• Xia Ming resisted the Valley of Love and Emotion’s judgment, revealed the power of the Qilin God Position, and freed himself from the secret realm’s restraints.
• Xia Ming’s assault destabilized the Valley of Love and Emotion and forced Ning Rongrong’s divine consciousness incarnation to appear.
• Xia Ming bound Ning Rongrong’s divine consciousness and blocked her attempt to destroy it or sever its connection to her true body.
• Ning Rongrong rushed to Oscar, explained the danger, and asked him for help as Xia Ming’s probing strike reached the God Realm.
• Oscar offered to take responsibility, and Ning Rongrong transferred her divine-sense connection and control authorization to him.

Xia Ming’s attacks struck Oscar across realms, leaving the Food God severely wounded despite Ning Rongrong’s support. The God of Destruction recognized the ancient aura of the Qilin God King in the attack and arrived at the Food God Temple to investigate.

• Xia Ming’s first three strikes hit Oscar, who endured them with his Second-level God cultivation while Ning Rongrong supported his defense and recovery.
• Oscar told Ning Rongrong they could not keep taking hits and that they needed to find Dai and Fatty for help.
• Xia Ming’s fourth strike reached First-Class God power, severely wounded Oscar, and revealed a forceful divine fluctuation to the God Realm.
• Rong Nianbing and other gods sensed the unfamiliar power and suspected that a newly ascended First-Class God had arrived.
• The God of Destruction recognized the faint aura of the long-fallen God King Qilin and connected the attack to Xia Ming and Tang San.
• The God of Destruction appeared outside the Food God Temple to investigate the conflict.

The God of Destruction discovered the interference with the lower realm and executed Oscar, who had taken responsibility to protect Ning Rongrong. He imprisoned Ning Rongrong with Tang San, where Tang San quickly set her to work on a new plan.

• The God of Destruction confronted Oscar and Ning Rongrong over the cross-realm passage and their interference in the lower realm.
• Oscar claimed he had led the plan and accepted sole responsibility, while the God of Destruction saw that he was protecting Ning Rongrong.
• The God of Destruction destroyed Oscar's body and soul, stripped Ning Rongrong of her freedom, and sent her to the Forbidden God Land.
• Ning Rongrong told Tang San and Xiao Wu that Oscar had died after taking the blame for her.
• Tang San briefly grieved for Oscar, then asked Ning Rongrong to support Xiao Wu with an urgent plan.

After the God of Destruction destroyed the passage between realms, Xia Ming explored the Valley of Love and Emotion and discovered the awakened remnant consciousness of the God of Love. She asked him to find a successor for her God Position, then chose to dissipate and purify the valley as she ended her long vigil.

• Xia Ming sensed that the God of Destruction had destroyed the passage from the God Realm, so he stopped attacking and turned his attention to the Valley of Love and Emotion.
• Xia Ming examined the valley and found a concealed core, but the God King Qilin stopped him and revealed the God of Love's awakened remnant consciousness.
• The God of Love told the God King Qilin that she had died from grief after her husband fell in the Dragon God calamity and she could no longer bear love.
• The God of Love asked Xia Ming to find a steadfast, strong successor to inherit her God Position.
• The God of Love decided to let her remnants and the Valley of Love and Emotion be purified together, and her consciousness began to dissipate as the realm's laws started to collapse.

Xia Ming escaped the collapsing Valley of Love and Emotion with the complete Seed of the God of Love Position, entrusted to him by the God of Love. After the secret realm vanished, he began planning how to find a worthy inheritor through the seed’s response to natural affinity.

• The God of Love gave Xia Ming the complete Seed of the God of Love Position and transferred control of the trials and their rewards to him.
• Xia Ming stored the seed in his Spirit Sea, bowed to the fading God of Love, and escaped the collapsing secret realm.
• The God of Love remained behind as the Valley of Love and Emotion was destroyed, then released her final attachment and accepted its end.
• Xia Ming returned to the ordinary valley, confirmed the secret realm had vanished, and bid farewell to the God of Love.
• Xia Ming decided to use the seed’s sensitivity to emotional resonance to identify a suitable inheritor without rushing the choice.

Xia Ming discovered that Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu strongly resonated with the God of Love’s God Position, but he ruled out immediate inheritance for both. He planned to invite the team to undertake God Trials, which could test their compatibility and leave open the possibility of a future inheritance.

• Huo Yuhao greeted Xia Ming, whose God Position Seed detected Huo Yuhao’s strong affinity with the God of Love’s inheritance.
• Xia Ming decided that Huo Yuhao should not inherit the God Position because the God of Love had requested a female successor, and he considered the trials a way to prepare Huo Yuhao for the God of Emotion’s inheritance.
• Xia Ming told Huo Yuhao to quietly gather Wang Dong'er, Bei Bei, Xiao Hongchen, and the others in his room.
• Xia Ming tested the assembled team and found that Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen had only slight affinity, while Di Ruiqiu resonated strongly with the God of Love’s laws.
• Xia Ming concluded that Di Ruiqiu could not inherit a God Position while the laws restricting soul beasts remained in force, but lower-tier trials could still benefit her and the others.
• Xia Ming resolved not to force an incompatible inheritance and planned to let the trials determine whether anyone could eventually meet the God of Love’s requirements.

Xia Ming successfully guided Di Ruiqiu to receive the God of Love’s Red-Grade Eight Trials, and she unexpectedly completed the first trial by understanding true love. After returning to the hotel, he found the others waiting, shaken by the revelation that the God of Love’s inheritance was within his reach to guide, though none of them qualified to inherit it.

• Xia Ming guided Di Ruiqiu through the descent of a God Trial in a secluded forest, and she accepted the Red-Grade Eight Trials.
• Di Ruiqiu revealed that she had already completed the first trial, “Understand true ‘love,’” surprising Xia Ming.
• Di Ruiqiu told Xia Ming that the reward raised her Soul Power by two ranks and increased her true body’s cultivation age by the same amount.
• Xia Ming considered how the trial rewards could strengthen Di Ruiqiu’s soul beast origin and prepare her for future godhood.
• Xia Ming and Di Ruiqiu returned to the hotel, where the others waited, eager and anxious about the God of Love’s inheritance.
• Xia Ming’s companions learned that the God of Love accepted only female inheritors, and none of them currently qualified.
