Chapter Summaries

After surviving brutal torture on Sea God Island, Ning Fengzhi returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and warned his mother and Golden Crocodile Douluo that their planned attack had been exposed. He realized Sea God Island had manipulated the alliance into distrusting him, and Golden Crocodile Douluo remained unconvinced.

• Lady Ning summoned a Spirit Hall physician, who spent three days treating Ning Fengzhi and saved his life.
• When Ning Fengzhi woke, he warned Lady Ning not to attack Sea God Island, but she told him the troops had already gone.

• Ning Fengzhi argued that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had acted out of fear, but Golden Crocodile Douluo questioned his account and suspected he might have colluded with Sea God Island.

After Spirit Hall’s defeat, Ning Fengzhi tried to explain that the Clear Sky Sect had targeted him, but Golden Crocodile Douluo initially dismissed his claim. When Qian Daoliu returned and recognized the truth, he ordered the matter concealed so Spirit Hall would remain focused on Chuan Ling.

• Ning Fengzhi told Golden Crocodile Douluo that Tang Zhan, Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao had gone to kill him, but Golden Crocodile dismissed the claim and urged him to recover.

• Lady Ning went to approach the Clear Sky Sect while Ning Fengzhi waited for news of Spirit Hall’s defeat.
• Qian Daoliu returned with news that Spirit Hall had lost and would have to ransom its captives, then heard Ning Fengzhi’s account from Golden Crocodile.
• Qian Daoliu concluded that Ning Fengzhi was probably telling the truth and ordered Golden Crocodile to conceal the matter, since Spirit Hall needed to focus on Chuan Ling.

Qian Daoliu arranged the ransom for the captives from Sea God Island and asked Ning Fengzhi to let the attack on him go in exchange for resources. Ning Fengzhi agreed, while secretly remaining reconciled with Clear Sky Sect and believing the alliance’s chance to recover had already passed.

• Ning Fengzhi agreed to Qian Daoliu’s proposal, though he had already reconciled with Clear Sky Sect and thought it was too late for their alliance.

Ning Fengzhi learned that Slaughter City might contain a godhood inheritance and urged Qian Daoliu to send people there. Golden Crocodile Douluo entered the city with a group, while Xu Xiao prepared to set Black Gorilla in motion.

• Xu Xiao gave Evil Emperor the Underworld blueprints and sent him to speak with the Dragon Souls about beginning construction.

Xu Xiao learned that Bibi Dong and the others were enjoying a trip in the Star Dou Great Forest while he handled Chuan Ling affairs. There, the group captured Liu Erlong after she led a pursuing Soul Beast toward them, and Bibi Dong proposed using her to bargain with Yu Luomian.

• Xu Xiao asked Ye Qing about Bibi Dong and Ice Sister, then told her to send Bibi Dong back to help with work without warning her.
• In the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong and the others ate barbecue and prepared to deal with someone approaching.

• Chen Jianjun identified Liu Erlong as Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, and Liu Erlong insisted she wanted nothing to do with him.
• Bibi Dong suggested exchanging Liu Erlong for something from Yu Luomian, while Chen Jianjun asked why Liu Erlong had never enrolled in Chuan Ling Academy.

Bibi Dong and her group captured Liu Erlong, killed Flender when he appeared, and learned that Liu Erlong's mother had stopped her from joining Chuan Ling. Chen Jianjun then led them to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, where Yu Yuanzhen greeted Seven Kill as the group arrived.

• Bibi Dong's group cocooned Liu Erlong and restrained Flender when he tried to intervene.

• Bibi Dong asked Chen Jianjun to take the group to Blue Lightning, and they traveled there with Liu Erlong.
• Two days later, Chen Jianjun and the others arrived above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, where Yu Yuanzhen greeted Seven Kill respectfully.

Chen Jianjun’s group confronted Blue Lightning over Liu Erlong’s attempt to lure a Soul Beast at them and demanded compensation. After Yu Yuanzhen acknowledged Liu Erlong and agreed to pay within a year, the group left, while Xu Xiao revealed that Chen Jianjun had another plan involving Liu Erlong and Waste Gang.

• Yu Yuanzhen acknowledged Liu Erlong and received one year to deliver the compensation, or Yu Luomian would lose body parts.
• After leaving, Chen Jianjun told the group he had an interesting use for Yu Luomian, and Xu Xiao guessed he planned to send Liu Erlong into Slaughter City to bring out Waste Gang.
• Bibi Dong startled at Xu Xiao’s sudden appearance, and he scolded her for swearing.

Xu Xiao and his allies planned to use Yu Xiaogang to disrupt the balance between Spirit Hall and the other factions, while arranging for Liu Erlong to bring him out of Slaughter City. Xu Xiao warned Chen Jianjun that the Asura God was watching Slaughter City and told him to stay away from it.

• Chen Jianjun reported that Spirit Hall had sent more than a hundred people into Slaughter City without a single one returning, and that Qian Xunji had tried to kill Yu Xiaogang.

• Xu Xiao said he would search for a Golden Ancient Tree and asked Chen Jianjun to watch over Chuan Ling while he was away.
• The Silver Dragon King recognized the Golden Ancient Tree as Douluo Continent’s Life Core, and Xu Xiao said he wanted it because the Spirit Pagoda lacked life.

Xu Xiao and the old chief descended into a forbidden abyss and found the conscious Golden Ancient Tree hidden in another space.

• The Golden Ancient Tree spoke to Xu Xiao and the old chief, explaining that it had sensed Xu Xiao's life aura and could not hide from him.
• Xu Xiao offered to help the Golden Ancient Tree comprehend the Life Law in his own world, and the tree asked whether that world had Divine Power.
• The Golden Ancient Tree said it needed Divine Power to advance but would die if it entered the Divine Realm, where its Life Core enemy could devour it.
• The Golden Ancient Tree explained that leaving would make the planet a dead world, and Xu Xiao asked why it still wanted to enter the Divine Realm.

The tree warned him that Douluo Continent’s child of destiny had been born and that the child’s fortune seemed strange.

• Xu Xiao threatened to eat the Golden Ancient Tree and asked how the tree could grow stronger and what benefits it offered.
• The Golden Ancient Tree explained that it nourished planets, had reached its limit on Douluo Planet, and could advance in a world with divine power.
• Xu Xiao asked whether the tree could preserve Douluo Planet if both entered his world, and the tree agreed to leave behind essence and eventually become the planet’s new life origin.
• The Golden Ancient Tree offered Xu Xiao a drop of life essence every ten years, and Xu Xiao agreed to take him along.
• The Golden Ancient Tree warned Xu Xiao that Douluo Continent’s child of destiny had been born with strange fortune.

Xu Xiao learned that Tang San’s fortune had been artificially bolstered and sought a way to strip it away. After bringing the Golden Ancient Tree to his world, he learned the Silver Dragon King could draw out the added fortune, and she eagerly agreed once she heard the Asura God was behind it.

• The Golden Ancient Tree told Xu Xiao that Tang San’s fortune was weaker than the previous Child of Fortune’s and seemed to have been artificially raised by another strand of fortune.
• The Golden Ancient Tree said it could weaken Tang San’s fortune but could neither strip it away nor transfer it without a god’s help, so Xu Xiao brought it to his world.
• Ye Shengxin sensed that the continent had changed when the Golden Ancient Tree left, and he expected to become a god soon.
• The Golden Ancient Tree trembled before the Silver Dragon King, who wanted to eat it to recover but agreed to keep it because it could help her regain strength.
• The Silver Dragon King warned Xu Xiao that stripping away fortune could harm them, then eagerly volunteered to drain Tang San’s added fortune after learning the Asura God had arranged it.
• Xu Xiao told the Silver Dragon King that Tang San had not been born yet, and she vowed to make him suffer when the time came.

Xu Xiao moved the Golden Ancient Tree to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then watched as Hei Xing gave birth while Qian Xunji sensed her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura and raced toward her. Tang Hao held their newborn son, Tang San, and was shocked by how ugly and fur-covered the baby was.

• Xu Xiao sent the Golden Ancient Tree to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where he met Bi Ji.

• Hei Xing's aura surged with the power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, alerting Qian Xunji, who hurried toward her location.
• Xu Xiao watched from the void with Bibi Dong, the Ice Empress, and Ye Qing as Qian Xunji approached.
• Hei Xing gave birth to Tang San, and Tang Hao stared in disbelief at the hideously ugly, black-furred newborn.
