Chapter Summaries

Ye Xishui learned that Du Busi’s Undying Artistic Conception made him difficult to defeat, so she ordered the Holy Spirit Cult to hide and focused on strengthening the Death God Tower. She then seized Tang San and gave him to Zhongli Wu as a cultivation cauldron, instructing Zhongli Wu to make him harvest others before harvesting him in turn.

• Long Xiaoyao told Ye Xishui that Du Busi’s Undying Artistic Conception rapidly healed his injuries and might require three Limit Douluo to overcome.
• Ye Xishui ordered the Holy Spirit Cult to suspend large-scale operations and send her thirty percent of its collected Blood Food while she advanced the Death God Tower’s construction.

• Ye Xishui told Zhongli Wu to make Tang San harvest cult members to raise his strength, then harvest Tang San himself and take the refined essence.

Zhongli Wu planned to hand the unconscious Tang San to the Ji Family Four Brothers, while Kong Ming'an explained his God-Ascension Stairway and offered Gu Yue a new cultivation path. He brought her to a barren minor plane that would become her God Kingdom, but it still needed her to shape it.

• Ye Xishui encouraged Zhongli Wu to cultivate toward becoming a Limit Douluo, and he resolved to use the Ji Family Four Brothers to modify Tang San.

• Gu Yue agreed to change her cultivation methods and establish a God Kingdom, and Kong Ming'an asked her to change out of her Maid Outfit before they began.
• Kong Ming'an and Gu Yue arrived in a barren minor plane anchored by a giant tree radiating Silver Radiance, and Kong Ming'an told her the plane was only the basic material for her God Kingdom.

Kong Ming'an explained the God-Ascension Stairway and guided Gu Yue through its first two stages. Gu Yue formed nine Star Rings and a Godhead in minutes, leaving her poised to continue her re-cultivation.

• Kong Ming'an used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to share Law Cultivation insights with Gu Yue, who realized he had previously made the energy flow deliberately overwhelming.
• Kong Ming'an explained how God Kingdoms were formed and described the stages from Star Rings to Godheads and God Kingdoms, including Snow Empress's progress.
• Kong Ming'an assessed Gu Yue's recovered strength and said re-cultivation could restore her to the level of a First-Class God.
• Gu Yue began re-cultivating, transforming her nine golden Soul Rings into silver Star Rings and forming a silver Godhead in barely over ten minutes.
• Gu Yue sensed that her power was easier to control, while Kong Ming'an recognized that her Star Rings and Godhead had greatly improved her capacity and efficiency.

Kong Ming'an used the Order God Kingdom to replenish the ruined plane with energy so Gu Yue could begin fusing her Soul Power with it and shaping her God Kingdom. Snow Empress arrived, made an unusual request involving Bing'er, and kissed Kong Ming'an as he prepared to leave.

• Kong Ming'an summoned the Order God Kingdom through the Silver Brilliance Tree and filled the ruined plane with pure energy, restoring Gu Yue's strength.
• Kong Ming'an told Gu Yue to adapt to her new power system and begin fusing her Soul Power with the plane as she prepared to shape her God Kingdom.

• After Gu Yue returned to her cultivation, Snow Empress watched her with a knowing glimmer and leaned against Kong Ming'an again.

The semifinals ended with Shrek and the Sun Moon Team advancing to the finals, while the Star Luo Empire moved to strengthen its ties with neighboring powers after the clash outside Star Luo City. Examining Qiu'er's Battle Armor, Kong Ming'an realized that complementary cultivation methods might let different systems support one another without requiring him to merge them all at once.

• Mu En dismissed the elders' concerns about Tang San's name and ordered the announcement identifying him as an Evil Soul Master.
• After the battle outside Star Luo City, the Star Luo Royal Family pursued closer ties with the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, the Body Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team.
• Shrek defeated the Heavenly Soul Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, and the Sun Moon Team defeated the Star Luo Royal Academy to reach the finals.
• Qiu'er visited Kong Ming'an in her maid outfit, and he asked her to summon her Battle Armor so he could examine it.
• Kong Ming'an compared Qiu'er's Battle Armor with Meng Hongchen's and recognized that Battle Armor could supplement other cultivation systems rather than merge them.

Kong Ming'an explored ways to complete his cultivation system by combining Law Cultivator and Body Cultivator methods, then visited Electrolux in the Undead Demiplane. He found that Electrolux had completed all nine Star Rings and his Godhead.

• Kong Ming'an reasoned that Body Cultivator methods could strengthen Law Cultivators and Law Cultivator methods could expand Body Cultivators' Vitality, and considered using the three dantians more fully.
• Qiu'er watched Kong Ming'an study her Battle Armor, suspected his polite behavior was an act, and eventually left.
• Kong Ming'an connected to the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance, observed Dragon King Miss, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, then sent an Avatar to the Undead Demiplane.
• Kong Ming'an met Electrolux and asked about his condition.
• Electrolux revealed his completed nine Star Rings and Godhead, while Kong Ming'an recalled how he had rebuilt his body and prepared the Undead Demiplane as his God Kingdom.

The Soul Master Tournament finals began, with the Sun Moon Team winning the opening match before Meng Hongchen and Ma Xiaotao prepared to fight.

• Kong Ming'an shared his ideas on using Body Cultivation to assist Law Cultivation, and Electrolux agreed to study the problem using some of the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance’s computing power.
• Kong Ming'an and Electrolux began their research as Kong Ming'an split his attention between the Order God Kingdom, Ice Empress’s breakthrough, and the tournament finals.
• The finals began with a draw determining the match order, and Xiao Hongchen entered the opening Two-Two-Three match with a support teammate against Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan.
• Xiao Hongchen defeated Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan with his Mecha and Ship-Slaying Blade, giving the Sun Moon Team the first victory.
• Ma Xiaotao and Gongyang Mo faced Meng Hongchen and a Sun Moon Team support Soul Master in the second match, and the referee started the bout.

Ma Xiaotao and Gongyang Mo faced Meng Hongchen’s expanding Ice Mist Domain in the arena, but Ma Xiaotao could not break through its defenses. The ice chains overwhelmed her, and she was dragged into the mist alongside Gongyang Mo, leaving the match’s outcome unclear.

• Ma Xiaotao charged at the Sun Moon Team with Gongyang Mo’s enhancements, but Meng Hongchen unleashed an Ice Mist Domain that swallowed her and her support Soul Master.
• Ma Xiaotao attacked the mist with fireballs, but the evaporated fog froze and replenished the domain, so she ordered Gongyang Mo to retreat higher.
• Ma Xiaotao used her Martial Soul Avatar and Phoenix Meteor Shower, but Meng Hongchen’s five black Soul Rings restored the mist and unleashed ice chains and weapons.
• The Ice Mist Domain spread across the arena and seized Gongyang Mo, dragging him into the fog as Ma Xiaotao struggled to reach him or Meng Hongchen.
• An ice chain froze Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire Phoenix, and the other chains pulled her down into the mist.

Meng Hongchen's Ice Mist Domain gave the Sun Moon Team an easy victory over Shrek in the first round, leaving Shrek short-handed for the team battle. Huo Yuhao joined the replacement lineup and faced Xiao Hongchen after helping Shrek open the next match.

• Meng Hongchen used her Ice Mist Domain to defeat Ma Xiaotao and Gongyang Mo, securing the Sun Moon Team's victory in the Two-Two-Three round.
• Ma Xiaotao explained the ice mist's effects, and Shrek chose Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Huo Yuhao to fill out its team battle lineup.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection Sharing at the start of the team battle, but an interference field blurred the Sun Moon Team members.
• Shrek launched a coordinated attack, while Ma Rulong and two teammates blocked it with stacked Energy Barriers.
• Jiang Nannan used Gravity Control to force Xiao Hongchen's cannonballs to fall short, and Huo Yuhao restrained Xiao Hongchen's mecha with silver chains.

Qiu'er overwhelmed Shrek in the finals, and Huo Yuhao surrendered as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy won the tournament. The story then shifted to Tang San, who was imprisoned by the Holy Spirit Cult’s Zhongli Wu and offered the position of disciple and Holy Son.

• Meng Hongchen attacked Jiang Nannan while Huo Yuhao fought Xiao Hongchen, and Shrek’s front line pressed against Ma Rulong’s group.

• The referee declared the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy the tournament champion, and the arena erupted in cheers.
• At the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Zhongli Wu introduced himself to the captive Tang San and offered to make him his disciple and the Holy Son.

Zhongli Wu subjected Tang San to a Holy Son Trial, leaving him bound in a secret chamber with the Ji Family Four Brothers, who intended to test him as a cauldron. Tang San’s desperate call for help barely reached his resentful God Realm Main Body, which dismissed the faint unease and continued its meditation.

• Tang San asked Zhongli Wu to let him consider the offer and then to release him, but Zhongli Wu said he had to undergo a trial as the destined Holy Son.
• Zhongli Wu introduced Ji Da, Ji Er, Ji San, and Ji Si as Tang San’s examiners and told them to make him understand what a qualified cauldron was.
• Zhongli Wu left the secret chamber, and Ji San and Ji Si inspected Tang San before Ji Si discovered that Tang San was castrated.
• Ji Da ordered his brothers to show their abilities and satisfy the Holy Son, while Tang San screamed for his Main Body to save him.
• In the God Realm, Tang San’s Main Body sensed a fleeting unease, but told Xiao Wu it was nothing and returned to controlling the Asura God Position Origin.

Tang San planned to use his lower-realm Avatar to gain control of the Asura God Seat Origin, while Kong Ming'an spent the evening with Xu Tianzhen, Meng Hongchen, and Qiu'er. Xu Tianzhen revealed that their engagement ceremony had been scheduled for next year and suggested her Emperor might make an announcement at the banquet.

• Tang San planned to gradually increase the share of the God Seat Origin carried by his Avatar and eventually reclaim it to fully control the Asura God Position.

• Qiu'er grabbed Kong Ming'an, kissed him clumsily, and pinned him to the sofa.

Qiu'er kissed Kong Ming'an to persuade him to let Mistress Sister go, but she took his response as proof that he had a secret relationship with her. The chapter ended with Qiu'er proposing a deal after concluding that Kong Ming'an's contract-bound answers meant the opposite of what he said.

• Kong Ming'an guided Qiu'er through her first kiss, then stopped and asked whether she was satisfied.
• Qiu'er demanded that Kong Ming'an let Mistress Sister go, but he denied having the relationship she suspected.
• Convinced Kong Ming'an had kissed her while hiding the truth, Qiu'er began tearing open her Maid Outfit, and Kong Ming'an stopped her.
• Qiu'er asked whether Kong Ming'an had a contract with Mistress Sister, and he said he had an equal cooperation contract with the Soul Beast race.
• Qiu'er reasoned that a contract must be keeping Kong Ming'an from revealing his relationship with Mistress Sister, then proposed a deal.

Qiu'er offered herself to Kong Ming'an in exchange for his promise to treat Gu Yue well, and he accepted her request. The next morning, Qiu'er resolved to strengthen her plan to protect Gu Yue, but Kong Ming'an was missing from his room.

• Qiu'er asked Kong Ming'an to promise not to bully Gu Yue and offered herself in return.

In Mingdu, Xu Tianran received a report through his secret Dark Web and sent an encrypted order as he considered the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce and the approaching engagement ceremony.

• Xu Tianran considered the power and independence of the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce and, with the engagement ceremony approaching, sent an encrypted order through the Dark Web.

Xu Tianran arranged for a secret group to provide stronger poison and stand ready to act, while the Sun Moon Team returned to Mingdu and its members went their separate ways. Kong Ming'an appeared in Qiu'er's dormitory as she packed to move to the Merchant Guild, and she mistook his arrival for a romantic advance.

• Qiu'er packed her belongings in her dormitory and considered buying new clothes before Kong Ming'an suddenly appeared.
• Qiu'er assumed Kong Ming'an had come to make a move on her and told him she was ready, leaving him confused.

Kong Ming'an asked Qiu'er whether she wanted to return with him to the Star Dou Great Forest, and she worried he meant to make her wear the Maid Outfit. At the forest, Di Tian reflected on how cooperation with the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce had transformed the Soul Beasts’ fortunes, then watched Kong Ming'an arrive holding Qiu'er's hand and suspected he had come to provoke him.

• Kong Ming'an asked Qiu'er if she wanted to return to the Star Dou Great Forest with him, and she asked whether he expected her to wear the Maid Outfit.
