Chapter Summaries

After learning that Poseidon had corrupted whale-type sea soul beasts to gain faith and become a god, Colossus vowed to help Mo Lin seek revenge. Mo Lin revealed plans to have Ming Jin lead an attack on Sea God Island and to organize the deep-sea soul beasts against the God Realm, leaving Colossus stunned by the claim that soul beasts could never become gods.

• Mo Lin told Colossus what Ling Yao had revealed about Ming Jin and the whale-type sea soul beasts, and Colossus erupted in anger at Poseidon's methods.
• Colossus asked when Mo Lin would cure Ming Jin and destroy Sea God Island, and Mo Lin said the cure would take at least a year and Ming Jin would lead the attack himself.
• Mo Lin told Colossus that Sea God Island's people were deceived accomplices and hinted that he planned to reach the God Realm and reclaim what it had taken from other worlds.
• Mo Lin asked Colossus to gather deep-sea soul beasts so they could resist the God Realm, and Colossus warned that he could not command them all.
• Mo Lin told Colossus to inform a deep-sea wanderer that soul beasts could never become gods, and Colossus reacted with shock and anger.

Mo Lin reassured Baxia after Colossus frightened the Holy Hall Orca Clan, then ordered them to relocate to Soul Beast Island and seek out other whale-type soul beasts. In Heaven Dou City, Tang San faced a Tang Sect struggling with empty halls, scarce supplies, few customers, and no clear way to stay afloat.

• Baxia apologized to Mo Lin for failing his first mission, but Mo Lin told him the encounter with Colossus was no fault of his.
• Mo Lin confirmed that Baxia and the Holy Hall Orca Clan were unharmed and ordered Baxia to take them to Soul Beast Island and search for other whale-type soul beasts.
• Baxia and Sacred Tiger led the Holy Hall Orca Clan toward Soul Beast Island.
• Tang San sat in the Tang Sect's mostly empty main hall with Titan and Ma Hongjun as the sect's outer halls and former clan allies were absent.
• Tang San's plans to attract the other clans with hidden weapons faltered because the Tang Sect lacked funding, reliable materials, production capacity, and customers.

Tang San's shortage of raw ore and hidden weapon production left the Tang Sect unable to meet the needs of either side in the Heaven Dou Empire's looming conflict. Titan proposed securing an imperial client to improve the sect's supply, but Tang San hesitated because he could not decide which side served justice.

• Tang San considered why Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing could not join the Tang Sect or help resolve its difficulties.
• Titan suggested that the Tang Sect negotiate a long-term hidden weapon contract with one side of the divided Heaven Dou Empire.
• Tang San refused to favor either faction until he could determine which one acted justly, and warned that limited production could ruin the Tang Sect's reputation.
• Titan explained that a major client would give him leverage to secure more raw ore from mine owners.
• Tang San wrestled with the conflict between his principles and the business opportunity, while Ma Hongjun agreed with Titan.

Tang San left Titan's proposal unresolved, then heard Flender argue that the Tang Sect should compromise rather than risk its future. The chapter ended with Tang San reflecting on his desire to live honorably and the consequences of choosing a partner he considered evil.

• Tang San dismissed Ma Hongjun's agreement with Titan and left the hall without giving Titan a chance to persuade him further.
• Flender visited Tang San at night and took him aside to discuss the meeting with Titan.
• Flender urged Tang San to set aside some principles to protect the Tang Sect from decline.
• Tang San considered how his past as an ostracized outer disciple shaped his wish to live openly and honorably.
• Tang San recognized that partnering with an evil force could leave him and the Tang Sect burdened by a dark history.

Mo Lin spent the month apart from Qian Renxue and Hu Liena studying heavenly lightning while sharing meals with Bibi Dong. A petition revealed that Tang Sect was seeking to sell hidden weapons to Xue Qinghe, and Mo Lin advised Bibi Dong to approve a smaller order for Spirit Hall to examine.

• Mo Lin continued trying to comprehend the heavenly lightning from his tribulation while Qian Renxue cultivated in seclusion and Hu Liena searched for a divine position.
• Mo Lin joined Bibi Dong for breakfast at the Papal Palace, where she gave him a petition from Heaven Dou City.
• Mo Lin learned that Tang Sect had proposed a hidden-weapons deal with Xue Qinghe's faction.
• Mo Lin explained how hidden weapons worked and advised Bibi Dong to order one hundred sets instead of five hundred, with ten sent to Spirit City for him to study.

Tang San accepted the Heaven Dou Imperial Family’s order for one hundred sets of hidden weapons, but Mo Lin quickly copied the designs for Spirit Hall, which had no intention of placing further orders. The Tang Sect received its final payment and was left tied to Xue Qinghe’s faction, threatening its chances of doing business with anyone else.

• After Bibi Dong reduced the order to one hundred sets, Spirit Hall delivered the deposit to Tang Sect headquarters in Xue Qinghe’s name.
• Tang San accepted the payment but felt troubled about compromising his intentions for the Tang Sect’s urgent needs.
• Mo Lin deciphered the basic hidden weapons and sent their designs and production methods to Spirit Hall’s craftsmen.
• Mo Lin persuaded Bibi Dong to stop at the basic weapons because Tang San would not sell the more powerful designs.
• Xue Qinghe’s envoy delivered the remaining payment without placing another order, leaving Tang San confused and the Tang Sect politically tied to Xue Qinghe’s faction.

The Star Crown Clan launched a coup in Star Luo City, but Dai Weisi warned Dai Tianfeng and helped the imperial family resist. Dai Tianfeng and Dai Mubai were trapped in separate battles, and Dai Mubai hoped reinforcements would soon arrive.

• The Star Crown Clan entered Star Luo City through the bribed South Gate guards and began attacking the imperial palace.
• Dai Weisi forced his way into Dai Tianfeng’s bedchamber to warn him, then summoned Dai Mubai using Dai Tianfeng’s name.
• Dai Tianfeng and his empress fought the Star Crown Clan’s three Titled Douluo inside the palace while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing fought outside with Hell White Tiger.

Dai Tianfeng sent Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun to the underground treasury to activate the Star Luo Imperial Family’s hidden trump card while he held off the Star Crown Clan. Meanwhile, Grace Hall delayed reinforcements to the palace, and Mo Ning explained to Yu Tianxin why the Star Crown Clan had requested only limited help.

• Yu Tianxin asked Mo Ning why the Star Crown Clan had sought an alliance with Grace Hall for such limited assistance.
• Mo Ning asked whether a nation founded through another force’s fighting could avoid being manipulated by that force afterward.

Mo Ning explained that the Star Crown Clan had only wanted Grace Hall to avoid interfering while sharing blame for the throne seizure. As the palace battle shifted, the city defense army attacked the Star Crown Clan, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress prepared to make their move.

• Mo Ning told Yu Tianxin that the Star Crown Clan had never intended to let Grace Hall control its plans, then declared their mission complete.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing collapsed outside the palace after their flying Hell White Tiger was forced to fight until they were badly wounded.

• The Star Crown Clan's Soul Douluo ordered signal flares fired to summon reinforcements from the southern gate.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress stepped out of hiding, and the Ice Empress urged Tian Meng to take their first mission seriously.

Mo Lin sent Ice Empress and Tian Meng to ensure Dai Tianfeng and Dai Mubai died, while Dai Weisi discovered a secret in the Star Luo Imperial treasury. The chapter left Dai Weisi hearing that the White Tiger blood could trigger his martial soul’s atavistic evolution, though drinking it too soon could kill him.

• Mo Lin placated Ice Empress and Tian Meng into carrying out their first mission involving soul beasts, citing the need to secure Dai Tianfeng and Dai Mubai’s deaths.
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun reached the underground treasury while the battle outside the palace resumed, and an elderly man ordered all non-imperial visitors to leave.
• Dai Weisi entered the treasury alone and followed the elderly man to a crystal bottle containing the legendary Divine Beast White Tiger’s blood.
• The elderly man explained that the Dai Family’s White Tiger martial soul was only an imperfect imitation and that the blood could cause atavistic evolution once a person was strong enough.
• The elderly man warned that Dai Weisi was not yet powerful enough to drink the blood safely, while Dai Weisi focused on how to take it.

Dai Weisi urged an old man to take White Tiger blood to the besieged palace, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing retreated to recover outside. As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress watched, a powerful surge of soul power erupted inside the palace, giving Ice Empress a reason to consider joining the battle.

• Dai Weisi asked the old man to bring White Tiger blood to Dai Tianfeng and help fight the enemy, and the old man fell silent.
• Dai Mubai spat out congealed blood, then stopped trying to charge into the palace and rested with Zhu Zhuqing behind the reinforcements.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress watched Dai Mubai and discussed waiting for Dai Mubai and Dai Tianfeng to be killed by the Star Crown Clan before intervening.
• A powerful surge of soul power erupted from the imperial palace, and Ice Empress asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm whether they could now make their move.

Dai Weisi brought the treasury’s guardian and White Tiger Blood to the palace battle, where Dai Tianfeng drank the blood and transformed. Empowered, Dai Tianfeng attacked the Star Crown Clan and ordered the imperial forces to charge, while the old man remained wary of an unseen threat.

• The treasury guardian joined Dai Tianfeng and Empress Zhu, alarming the Star Crown Clan’s three Titled Douluo.
• Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun returned with White Tiger Blood, and Dai Weisi explained its effects to Dai Tianfeng.
• Dai Tianfeng drank the blood, transformed into a white tiger-like beast, and released a powerful killing intent before calming down.
• The guardian stepped aside and asked Dai Tianfeng to resolve the battle, and Dai Tianfeng claimed the Star Crown Clan was no match for him.
• Dai Tianfeng struck the Star Crown Clan’s patriarch through several walls, then ordered the imperial forces to attack.
• The guardian watched the battle without intervening and wondered why the people he sensed had still not appeared.

Dai Tianfeng lost control during the Star Luo Imperial Family’s attack on the Star Crown Clan, slaughtering enemies and allies alike. Ice Empress ambushed the old man guarding the treasure vault and trapped him in a battle while Dai Tianfeng continued his rampage.

• Dai Tianfeng tore through the Star Crown Clan’s soul masters, while Xu Siwei and Xu Siyi could only delay him briefly.
• Dai Tianfeng accidentally killed a soul master from his own side, then became more reckless and began attacking everyone around him.

• The old man raised his arms to block Ice Empress’s pincers and suffered the agony of her ultimate ice as his nerves began to fail.

• The old man unleashed White Tiger Seven Mansions Kill by spending his remaining Soul Power and life force, and Ice Empress summoned her true-body phantom to meet him.

Mo Lin briefed Grace Hall’s elders on the destruction of the Star Luo Empire and reviewed the organization’s preparations for what came next. Qiuniu proposed focusing on the coast, and Mo Lin asked him to explain further.

• Mo Lin received the report that Dai Tianfeng, Dai Mubai, and a Star Luo Imperial Family Title Douluo had died, while Dai Weisi fled toward Gengxin City.
• Mo Lin told the elders that the Star Crown Clan had suffered heavy losses and could no longer pose a serious threat.
• Lou Gao reported that the Craftsmen Association had forged more than ten thousand magic artifacts, with roughly five thousand more in production.
• After the elders reported on Grace Hall’s forces, Mo Lin revealed a map and said their next focus would remain in Star Luo territory.
• Qiuniu suggested that Grace Hall focus on the coastal regions, and Mo Lin asked him to elaborate.

Mo Lin and the Grace Hall elders discussed using a sea invasion to exploit the coastal cities’ weak defenses. After the meeting, Mo Lin learned that his students were progressing rapidly and told Snow Empress to slow their cultivation and protect their health before they condensed soul rings.

• Qiuniu proposed attacking Douluo Continent’s coastal cities by sea, and Mo Lin agreed that the strategy could help surround the Star Luo Empire.

• Mo Lin ordered Snow Empress to reduce their cultivation time, increase combat practice and rest, arrange daily healing, and delay soul rings until their soul beasts exceeded nine hundred years of cultivation.

Qian Renxue completed her cultivation in the Angel Secret Realm, reaching great completion in the Internal Alchemy Method and strengthening her power. She left the realm and passed Qian Daoliu without speaking, leaving him to regret their strained relationship.

• Qian Renxue broke through to great completion in the Internal Alchemy Method, compressing and purifying her soul power.
• Qian Renxue revealed her Ten-Winged Angel martial soul and nine soul rings, all of which were now over ten thousand years old.
• Qian Renxue decided to leave the secret realm and see how Bibi Dong and Mo Lin were doing.
• Qian Daoliu waited outside the Angel Secret Realm as Qian Renxue emerged.
• Qian Renxue gave Qian Daoliu an indifferent glance and walked past him without greeting him, and he sighed sadly.

After leaving seclusion, Qian Renxue reunited with Bibi Dong and learned that her mother had given up the Rakshasa God inheritance. Worried that Bibi Dong might never become a god, Qian Renxue asked what Mo Lin was busy with and learned that the Star Luo Empire was in crisis.

• Qian Renxue visited Bibi Dong after leaving the Angel Secret Realm, and the two reunited affectionately.
• Bibi Dong explained that she had lost the Rakshasa God’s interest because she could no longer sustain the hatred required for its inheritance.
• Qian Renxue worried that Bibi Dong had lost her chance at immortality and hoped Mo Lin could help her find another divine position.
• Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a report stating that the Star Crown Clan had rebelled, Dai Tianfeng had died in battle, and Dai Mubai had succumbed to his injuries.
• Bibi Dong told Qian Renxue that Dai Weisi was fleeing with Zhu Zhuyun toward Gengxin City, within Mo Lin’s sphere of influence.

Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the remnants of the Star Luo Empire arrived in Gengxin City after fleeing Star Luo City. Grace Hall received Dai Weisi and the two women but lodged the former officials separately, leaving them to recognize that they had lost their status.

• Zhu Zhuqing traveled alone in a carriage and struggled to process Dai Mubai's sudden death and the future she had been raised to expect.
• Dai Weisi's battered convoy reached Gengxin City's gates, where Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan questioned them before allowing them inside.
• Yu Tianheng remained puzzled by the convoy and suggested asking Tianxin what he knew.
• The convoy's unusual appearance drew attention as it made its way through Gengxin City toward Grace Hall.
• Grace Hall welcomed Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing into guest rooms, while an ordinary Soul Grandmaster escorted the former officials to separate dormitories.
• The former officials saw their modest accommodations and lack of servants as a deliberate snub from Grace Hall.

Mo Lin dismissed the possibility of trusting the Star Luo Empire’s surviving civil officials and planned to recruit ordinary people for Gengxin City’s government. Meanwhile, Gu Yuena proposed creating an artifact that could maintain a stable spatial passage, but their discussion was interrupted by Dai Weisi’s request for an audience.

• Mo Lin decided that Grace Hall would not rely on Star Luo Empire officials, whom he considered loyal to the Dai Family and a potential political risk.
• Mo Lin planned to fill Gengxin City’s future government with ordinary people selected through examinations, while recognizing that the Star Luo remnants posed little immediate threat.
• Gu Yuena proposed that Mo Lin and his subordinates create an artifact capable of sustaining a spatial passage, and Mo Lin doubted the idea could be realized.
• A servant announced that Dai Weisi, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, had requested an audience.
• Gu Yuena took Qiu'er into another room, and Mo Lin ordered Dai Weisi to be admitted.
