Xu Tianyao regained consciousness in his Sea of Consciousness after the mysterious divine radiance separated him from Snow Maiden, who remained missing. He discovered an ancient scroll and a silver-green tree among two mysterious light clusters, while Electrolux sensed that the objects were familiar but could not name them.

• Kong Deming failed to break the divine radiance surrounding Xu Tianyao and Snow Maiden, so he guarded the ruin and waited for it to end.

Xu Tianyao accepted the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map and the Eternal Tree, gaining a view of parts of Douluo Planet and locating the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Eternal Tree rooted itself in his Sea of Consciousness, while Electrolux began to suspect Xu Tianyao had received an unprecedented inheritance; Xu Tianyao then awoke underwater and saw a new icy rune on Snow Maiden’s forehead.

• Electrolux said he could not identify the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map or the sapling, but believed they meant Xu Tianyao no harm, and Xu Tianyao chose to accept both.
• Xu Tianyao’s blood activated the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map, which showed him parts of Douluo Planet and revealed the hidden Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
• The map closed after Xu Tianyao memorized the valley’s location, and the Eternal Tree took root in his Sea of Consciousness, drawing life force from the Blade of Life and nourishing him.
• Ice Empress sensed what she believed was the aura of heaven and earth’s laws, while Electrolux privately considered that Xu Tianyao might have gained an unprecedented path.
• Xu Tianyao awoke in the lake and saw Snow Maiden standing nearby with a new icy-blue snowflake rune on her forehead.

After receiving the Ice God’s legacy, Snow Maiden kept its connection to Xu Tianyao secret while he and Kong Deming searched the ruins and left. Xu Tianyao then used the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map to lead them toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, arriving at the poisonous miasma concealing its entrance.

• Xu Tianyao confirmed he was unharmed, while Snow Maiden revealed a powerful snowflake rune and refused to explain what she had received.
• Snow Maiden recalled that the Ice God had bound her origin to Xu Tianyao without making her a successor, and she kept the truth from him because she did not understand the god’s intentions.
• Xu Tianyao, Snow Maiden, and Kong Deming searched the lakebed ruins, found nothing else of value, and left after the statue and Ice Talisman lost their power.
• Kong Deming noted Xu Tianyao had reached level fifty and asked whether they should seek his fifth Soul Ring in the Star Dou Forest, but Xu Tianyao chose to pursue another opportunity in Sunset Forest.
• Xu Tianyao used the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map to locate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Snow Maiden identified it as one of the Three Great Treasure Basins.
• Xu Tianyao, Snow Maiden, and Kong Deming flew southeast and stopped before the purple-black poisonous miasma hiding the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Xu Tianyao, Kong Deming, and Snow Maiden crossed the poisonous miasma surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and found a valley filled with powerful energy and rare immortal herbs. After the sentient plants attacked, the three subdued them, leaving the garden under their control.

• Kong Deming discovered that the valley’s poisonous miasma had accumulated over thousands of years, while Xu Tianyao froze and collected a toxic herb from its outskirts.
• Kong Deming used the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield and spatial power, while Xu Tianyao’s Ultimate Ice froze the poison, to bring the three through the miasma.
• The three found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its abundant immortal herbs, including the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.
• The plants attacked with poisonous mist, vines, ice, and flames, but Snow Maiden froze the mist and vines while Xu Tianyao and Kong Deming defeated the two prominent plants.
• Kong Deming trapped the remaining plants with spatial power, and Snow Maiden’s presence silenced them before one demanded to know what the humans wanted.

Xu Tianyao used the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map to identify and harvest the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s herbs, then extracted the life essence from two hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs and swallowed the balanced ice-fire pearl. Drawn to the spring’s depths, he found two enormous dragon skeletons and a pulsing crystal where they met.

• Xu Tianyao used the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map to identify the herbs, and Kong Deming and the Snow Maiden harvested and stored them according to his instructions.
• Xu Tianyao selected special herbs for Kong Deming and the Snow Maiden, then used the Blade of Life and Electrolux’s power to extract the life essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.
• Xu Tianyao combined the two life essences into a red-and-white pill pearl and swallowed it, using his Sunlight Martial Soul and Bright Moon Martial Soul to stabilize its power.

• Xu Tianyao descended to the spring bed and saw two enormous dragon skeletons surrounding a crystal pulsing with ice-fire dragon breath.

Xu Tianyao survived the Water-Fire Dragon Kings’ awakening and learned that their remnant souls could grant him divine rings, divine bones, and their inheritance. The chapter ended with the Dragon Kings demanding that he return their dragon cores to the dragon clan and keep them from the gods who had slaughtered the divine beasts.

• The Water-Fire Dragon Kings awakened at the Ice-Fire Spring Eye, and the Mountains Rivers Sun Moon Map and Eternal Tree protected Xu Tianyao from their ancient power.
• The Dragon Kings’ remnant souls emerged from the crystal and joined with the Eternal Tree, exchanging their divine power for its life energy.
• The Water Dragon King recognized Xu Tianyao’s unusual powers and offered him the Dragon Kings’ inheritance, including two divine bones and dual divine rings for his Martial Souls.
• Xu Tianyao asked what the Dragon Kings wanted in return, and they revealed that he must return their dragon cores to the dragon clan and keep them from the gods who had attacked the Dragon God.

Xu Tianyao, Electrolux, and the Water-Fire Dragon Kings formed a Soul Spirit Contract that preserved the Dragon Kings’ souls and sealed their power in Xu Tianyao’s Martial Souls and the Eternal Tree. The contract’s completion sent their dragon auras across Douluo Planet, where Di Tian recognized them.

• Electrolux proposed that the Water-Fire Dragon Kings become Soul Spirits instead of burning their souls to pass on their inheritance.

Xu Tianyao fused the Water Dragon King's and Fire Dragon King's god bones and powers, gaining two divine fifth soul skills and reaching level fifty-seven. He emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Kong Deming questioned him about the spring's depths, and Xu Tianyao offered only a vague explanation.

• Di Tian sensed the Water-Fire Dragon Kings' auras, but they vanished before he could locate them, while the silver dragon also sensed their presence and then withdrew.
• The Water and Fire Dragon Kings' remains shattered, and their divine power entered Xu Tianyao as he fused their god bones into his arms.
• Electrolux guided the Dragon Kings' power into Xu Tianyao's Twin Martial Souls, forming divine fifth soul rings and granting him Water Dragon King's Ice Domain and Fire Dragon King's Raging Flame.
• Xu Tianyao's Soul Power rose to level fifty-four, then the completed god-bone fusion pushed it to level fifty-seven before he sealed the remaining power.
• Xu Tianyao emerged from the spring, and Kong Deming's detection tools confirmed his level and the extraordinary energies in his arms.
• Kong Deming asked what lay beneath the spring, and Xu Tianyao said he had received a special inheritance and broken through a bottleneck.

Xu Tianyao and Kong Deming harvested the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and distributed immortal herbs before leaving for the Sun Moon Empire’s eastern border. Kong Deming planned to place Xu Tianyao in a main Soul Engineer legion, but they had not yet chosen which one.

• Xu Tianyao, Kong Deming, and Snow Maiden harvested the mature herbs, seedlings, soil, spring water, poisonous plants, and miasma from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Kong Deming sealed the valley, then led Xu Tianyao and Snow Maiden toward the eastern border instead of Ming Capital and consulted a secret map showing three main Soul Engineer legions.

A year into the western war, Xu Tianyao led a Sun Moon Empire operation unit in ambushing and annihilating Xingluo scouts in the Mingdou Mountain Range. After seizing military intelligence and a White Tiger Guards token, he recalled his recent clash with Dai Hao, which had earned him the feared title of the Sun Moon War God.

• Xu Tianyao used Mingde Hall’s detection Soul Tool to locate a 47-person Xingluo unit carrying reconnaissance equipment near Reconnaissance Point Three.

• Xu Tianyao froze the Xingluo unit’s Soul Tools and defeated its White Tiger Soul Sage with his Water Dragon King’s Ice Domain and Explosive Flame Titan’s Power.
• Xu Tianyao ordered his troops to leave no one alive, and they wiped out the remaining Xingluo soldiers within fifteen minutes.
• Xu Tianyao’s unit recovered reconnaissance Soul Tools, secret military orders, and a White Tiger Guards token as he recalled wounding Dai Hao in battle a month earlier.

• Wang Yiheng ordered Xu Tianyao and his operations unit to return to the base while the empire paused its large-scale offensives for peace talks.
• Xu Jiujiu traveled toward the Ming Capital with an envoy, accompanied in secret by Mu En, who confirmed the convoy faced no ambushes.
• Mu En told Xu Jiujiu that the peace mission was a cover for targeting Xu Tianran and Xu Tianyao, with Shrek personnel operating inside the Ming Capital and Du Busi handling the border operation.
• Mu En said he would accompany Xu Jiujiu into the Ming Capital and perish with Xu Tianran if he could not defeat the enemy protecting him.

Xu Jiujiu and Mu En’s allies launched a coordinated assassination attempt against Xu Tianran in Ming Capital while Du Busi’s forces targeted Xu Tianyao at the frontier. The attack on Ming Capital met fierce resistance, and Xu Tianran ordered the Xingluo Delegation seized as Mu En and Long Xiaoyao continued their battle overhead.

• Xu Jiujiu agreed with Mu En that Xu Tianran and Xu Tianyao both had to be killed, then ordered her convoy to hurry toward the border post with concealed allied forces aboard.
• Du Busi deployed five Titled Douluo and seventeen Soul Douluo and demanded certainty about Xu Tianyao’s patrol route before attacking him.
• Several days later, allied experts attacked Ming Capital, where Soul Engineer forces sealed the city and Mu En fought Long Xiaoyao in the sky.
• Xu Tianran learned that the Xingluo Delegation was resisting a blockade in the western district and ordered its members detained and Xu Jiujiu captured alive.
• Long Xiaoyao warned Mu En that he would not last much longer, but Mu En recklessly reignited the Light Dragon’s power.

Mu En sacrificed himself to attack Xu Tianran in Ming Capital, devastating Imperial Zenith Hall but leaving the emperor alive and gravely injured. As the city descended into violence, Xu Jiujiu led the Xingluo Delegation in a desperate charge, while the Sun Moon Empire feared for Xu Tianyao at the front lines.

• Mu En burned through his life force and detonated his power against Imperial Zenith Hall as Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe held Long Xiaoyao back.
• Mu En's explosion destroyed Imperial Zenith Hall and tore through Ming Capital, but Xu Tianran survived and ordered the city sealed off and every assassin killed.
• Jing Hongchen ordered the Royal Soul Engineer Legion to stop indiscriminate bombardment and target the invading Shrek experts.
• Surrounded by Royal Soul Engineers, Xu Jiujiu led the Xingluo Delegation in a final charge rather than surrender.

• Xu Tianyao fled through the forest as Du Busi defeated the Soul Engineers protecting him and wiped out his escort.
• Xu Tianyao called on Electrolux, who used undead magic to slow Du Busi long enough for Xu to reach Sun Moon Empire territory.
• Du Busi caught up with Xu Tianyao at the border and confronted him before a defensive squad of Soul Engineers.

Du Busi’s assault on Xu Tianyao was stopped by Kong Deming, while the Sun Moon Empire’s forces drove back Xingluo’s army and learned that Ming Capital had been attacked. Xu Tianyao chose to return to the capital and take charge, but news that Xu Tianran could no longer move or have children changed the meaning of his decision.

• Kong Deming trapped Du Busi with spatial Soul Tools, allowing Xu Tianyao and the Level-9 Soul Engineers to escape to legion headquarters.

• A new report confirmed that Xu Tianran had permanently lost the ability to move and have children, prompting Kong Deming to tell Xu Tianyao that the matter was no longer up to him.

While Ju Zi guarded the unconscious Xu Tianran and resisted the imperial clan’s efforts to seize power, Xu Tianran experienced an illusory world in which he suffered the same crippling fate and tried to secure an heir with Ju Zi. The vision ended with Ju Zi secretly replacing his blood sample in the artificial-life experiment, leaving Xu Tianran horrified and unable to stop her.

• Xu Tianran watched his dream-self lose his legs and ability to father children after an assassination by imperial clansmen.
• Xu Tianran’s dream-self and Ju Zi arranged to use artificial-life technology to create an heir from his preserved blood sample.
• Ju Zi secretly replaced Xu Tianran’s blood sample in the laboratory and erased the operation’s records while Xu Tianran pleaded for her to stop.

Xu Tianran dreamed that Ju Zi betrayed him and a child with the White Tiger Martial Soul inherited the Sun Moon Empire’s throne, making him realize how important Xu Tianyao was to the Xu Family. After waking, he ordered Xu Tianyao summoned to the capital to rule as regent, then lost consciousness again.

• Xu Tianran watched a dream in which Ju Zi gave birth to a boy with the White Tiger Martial Soul, who later ascended the throne and inherited the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Tianran blamed Ju Zi and Shrek for the imagined betrayal and recognized that Xu Tianyao would have protected the Xu Family’s succession.

• Xu Tianran awoke in the underground chamber during a storm, and Ju Zi and the imperial guards rushed to his side.
• Xu Tianran ordered the guards to summon Prince Ming Xu Tianyao to the capital at once and rule as regent in his stead, then lost consciousness.

As Xu Tianran’s injuries worsened and Xu Tianyao raced toward the capital to become regent, the Holy Spirit Cult devised a way to preserve its influence by giving Xu Tianran an heir through forbidden methods. Ju Zi accepted the plan and went to tell the unconscious emperor that he would not die before handing the Empire to its true heir.

• News of Xu Tianran’s condition and Xu Tianyao’s appointment as regent spread through Ming Capital, heightening fears of internal conflict.
• The Holy Spirit Cult learned that Xu Tianran was near death and that Xu Tianyao’s return could destroy its plans.
• Ye Xishui proposed using Xu Tianran’s bloodline and a forbidden technique to make Ju Zi pregnant, keeping Xu Tianyao from becoming the sole heir.
• A Holy Spirit Cult envoy gave Ju Zi the secret technique and explained that Xu Tianran would agree to preserve the Xu Family bloodline.
• Ju Zi accepted the plan and told the unconscious Xu Tianran that he would not die before handing the Empire to its true heir.

While recovering from his severe injuries, Xu Tianran rejected Ju Zi’s proposal to use the Holy Spirit Cult’s forbidden technique to produce an heir, suspecting she wanted power for herself. He confined her and prepared to transfer authority to his returning brother Xu Tianyao, leaving the throne’s fate uncertain as his life dwindled.

• Xu Tianran woke after seven days unconscious and learned that Xu Tianyao was still returning to the capital.
• Ju Zi proposed using a Holy Spirit Cult technique to let her bear Xu Tianran’s child, but he accused her of pursuing power and struck her.
