Chapter Summaries

Qiu'er reunited with Di Tian and Bi Ji while hiding the true nature of her relationship with Kong Ming'an, and Bi Ji offered her support. Kong Ming'an then summoned the Body Sect’s Titled Douluo and Mu En to the square, where their arrival put the Soul Beasts on guard before a calm voice announced that everyone was present.

• Qiu'er greeted Di Tian and Bi Ji while holding Kong Ming'an’s hand, prompting her to panic and release it.
• Bi Ji drew Qiu'er aside, asked about her life and her relationship with Kong Ming'an, and promised she could always return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Qiu'er concealed that she was serving as Kong Ming'an’s maid and privately imagined a future with him and many children.
• Kong Ming'an summoned Du Busi and the Body Sect’s Titled Douluo, as well as Mu En, into the square.
• Di Tian and the Soul Beasts watched the arriving human powerhouses warily before a peaceful voice announced that everyone was present.

Kong Ming'an convened human and Soul Beast Body Cultivators to refine their cultivation framework, focusing on how Blood Essence Furnaces should be integrated into the Dharma Image. After the gathered experts shared their proposals, Kong Ming'an used Ling Shu and the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance to begin deducing a solution.

• Kong Ming'an calmed the tension between humans and Soul Beasts, then outlined the Body Cultivator path from body tempering and Blood Essence Soul Rings to condensing Blood Essence Furnaces.
• Kong Ming'an asked where Blood Essence Furnaces should be integrated into a Dharma Image to strengthen it without causing imbalance or collapse.
• Kong Ming'an linked the participants through the Ling Shu Network and allocated the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance's computational power to aid their discussion.
• Du Busi proposed making the heart the Dharma Image's Blood Essence Furnace so Bloodline Power could circulate through it.
• Mu En argued that the spine should support and unite the Dharma Image, while Di Tian proposed a framework incorporating the head, limbs, and torso.
• Kong Ming'an recorded everyone's ideas and ordered Ling Shu to deduce the next step.

Kong Ming'an led a month of dangerous Spirit Realm experiments to develop a universal foundational method for constructing a Dharma Image. After presenting the framework, he returned to his room exhausted, but a knock at the door interrupted his rest.

• Qiu'er watched Kong Ming'an lead a discussion of Dharma Images while Bi Ji silently observed her interest in him.
• Kong Ming'an connected the researchers to the Spirit Realm, where Body Cultivators repeatedly built and tested Dharma Images, often causing them to explode and reform.
• After more than a month of experiments, Kong Ming'an presented a universal Dharma Image template, identifying six outer Blood Essence Furnace locations and three core hubs: the spine, heart, and dantian.
• Kong Ming'an shared the construction methods and energy models, and qualified Body Cultivators began trying the framework as others discussed the next topic.
• Kong Ming'an returned to his room in the Silver Brilliance Tree, collapsed onto his bed, and projected his consciousness into the Undead Demiplane before someone knocked at the door.

Qiu'er found Kong Ming'an asleep, tucked him in, then climbed into bed and fell asleep hugging him. In the Undead Demiplane, Kong Ming'an sensed her embrace before resuming his discussion with Electrolux about how cultivation systems could complement one another.

• Qiu'er entered Kong Ming'an's room and confirmed that he was peacefully asleep.
• Qiu'er adjusted Kong Ming'an's position, tucked him in, and playfully poked his cheek.
• Qiu'er climbed beneath the blanket beside Kong Ming'an, hugged him, and fell asleep while telling herself she was preparing for Mistress Sister's sake.
• Kong Ming'an sensed Qiu'er hugging his body in the Star Dou Great Forest while he was in the Undead Demiplane with Electrolux.
• Kong Ming'an discussed Mu En's Light-imbued Dharma Image and Xiong Jun's Golden Body Dharma Image as examples of cultivation systems strengthening Body Cultivators.

After a month of research with Electrolux, Kong Ming'an woke in the Silver Brilliance Tree and found Qiu'er asleep in his arms. He thanked her for secretly cuddling with him while he was unconscious, leaving her mortified, then invited her to join him and Wang Dong'er for an errand.

• Kong Ming'an and Electrolux continued developing ideas for the Body Cultivator system in the Undead Demiplane.
• Kong Ming'an returned to his body in the Star Dou Great Forest and checked the Spirit Realm, where Di Tian, Mu En, and Du Busi were discussing Artistic Conception.
• Kong Ming'an tried to get up, waking Qiu'er, who had been sleeping beside him.
• Kong Ming'an thanked Qiu'er for taking care of him, revealing that he knew she had been sneaking into his bed during his unconsciousness.
• Kong Ming'an invited Qiu'er to accompany him and Wang Dong'er, and Qiu'er agreed.

Wang Dong'er fully recovered her soul and gained control of her Sea God Martial Soul before Kong Ming'an arrived with Qiu'er to request her help. The story then shifted to the thriving Holy Spirit Cult, where Evil Soul Masters gathered at its Main Altar and surrounding settlement.

• Wang Dong'er completed her recovery and reached the six-ringed Soul Emperor level after using Merchant Guild commissions and resources to strengthen herself.
• Kong Ming'an and Qiu'er appeared before Wang Dong'er, who noticed they were holding hands and teased Qiu'er about their closeness.
• Kong Ming'an asked to borrow Wang Dong'er's Sea God Martial Soul for a special mission with triple compensation, and she readily agreed to hear the details.
• The narration described how the Crown Prince's arrangements and a conversion Cultivation Method had swelled the Holy Spirit Cult's ranks with Evil Soul Masters.
• Several Evil Soul Masters drank and talked in a tavern near the Main Altar while fights and Soul Skills drew cheers from the crowd.

Tang San endured three months of humiliation while disguised as a courtesan in the Holy Spirit Cult, until the Sea God Sixth Trial declared complete and awakened his buried consciousness. As memories returned, Lower Realm Tang San blamed the main body in the God Realm and his soul began to transform.

• A pale Soul Saint claimed the courtesan rewarded clients with Blood Food and insisted he could replenish the energy she drained.
• Ji Da and his brothers entered the room, tore off Tang San’s Painted Skin, and ordered him returned to the Stone Chamber beneath the Main Altar.
• The Ji Family Four Brothers cleaned Tang San, dressed him, and threw him into the chamber, where the Sea God Sixth Trial was declared complete.
• The trial’s intervention awakened Tang San’s consciousness, and memories of his three months of torment flooded back.
• Lower Realm Tang San’s hatred fixed on the main body in the God Realm as his soul began to transform and ascend.

Lower Realm Tang San completed the Sea God Sixth Trial and received a Divine Power Infusion, while the Sea God Martial Soul secretly redirected the Asura God Seat Origin sent by God Realm Tang San. Kong Ming'an and the others left after increasing the Origin hidden in the Asura God Ring to about one and a half percent.

• Tang San realized his three months of torment had counted as surviving an extreme environment and completed the Sea God Sixth Trial, then chose to claim its reward while consumed by thoughts of revenge.
• God Realm Tang San sensed the completed trial and sent Asura God Seat Origin to his Lower Realm Avatar, believing the transmission was proceeding normally.
• The Sea God Martial Soul diverted the transmitted Origin into the Asura God Ring and infused Lower Realm Tang San with gentler Asura God Power, while concealing the interference from God Realm Tang San.
• The Sea God Martial Soul ended the infusion after sending a false saturation signal, and Lower Realm Tang San collapsed after his cultivation rose to Rank 60.
• Kong Ming'an told Qiu'er and Dong'er that the operation was over, then confirmed that the Asura God Ring held about one and a half percent of the Asura God Seat Origin and planned to keep deceiving God Realm Tang San.

Kong Ming'an planned to exploit Tang San’s struggle over the Asura God Position Origin to seize control of it and take the Sea God Seat for Wang Dong'er. He explained the inheritance scheme and its risks, leaving Wang Dong'er with his proposal still unanswered.

• Kong Ming'an outlined how he would wait for Tang San to accumulate more Asura God Position Origin before attempting to seize control of the Asura Divine Sword.
• Kong Ming'an asked Wang Dong'er whether she wanted to become the Sea God.
• Kong Ming'an reasoned that Wang Dong'er could inherit Tang San’s Sea God Trial results through the Sea God Martial Soul, using Tang San Chen and Tang San’s transfer of Asura trial progress as a precedent.
• Kong Ming'an planned to deceive the Sea God Seat into initiating Wang Dong'er's inheritance while Tang San was distracted fighting over the Asura God Position Origin.
• Kong Ming'an estimated that his plan offered at least an 80% chance of victory, which he considered far too low.

Zhongli Wu awakened Tang San and gave him a chance to absorb a sixth soul ring, after which Tang San’s cultivation surged to level sixty-six before Zhongli Wu put him through another punishing trial. With his level back down near sixty, Tang San decided he needed another way to grow stronger and emerged declaring that he wanted to cultivate.

• Zhongli Wu found Tang San’s soul power had reached level sixty and ordered an Evil Soul Master to bring back a suitable soul beast.
• Zhongli Wu woke Tang San and presented him with a forty-eight-thousand-year Iron-Armored Warthog for his sixth soul ring.
• Tang San killed the Iron-Armored Warthog, absorbed its soul ring, and rose to level sixty-six as stored energy flooded his body.
• Zhongli Wu began testing Tang San’s cultivation results, and Tang San’s soul power later fell back to around level sixty.
• Lower Realm Tang San resolved to find a way to gain power and grabbed Ji Da by the collar, shouting that he wanted to cultivate.

Kong Ming'an explained how he had repaired Dong'er's soul and said he would remove his lingering will from her Sea God Martial Soul, while assuring her that she could choose whether to pursue the Sea God Seat. He then made clear that the Divine Seat and her other debts would require her to work for him, leaving Dong'er wondering whether she could take a shortcut instead of working hard.

• Kong Ming'an explained that the Sea God Power and his will had stabilized Dong'er's restored soul, but said his will should now be removed to prevent future harm.
• Kong Ming'an told Dong'er she was the most suitable candidate for the Sea God Seat, but assured her she could refuse it and choose her own path.
• Dong'er worried she did not deserve the Divine Seat, and Kong Ming'an explained that she already owed him for her debts, investments, and the future Seat.
• Qiu'er stayed quiet rather than defend Dong'er, who muttered that Kong Ming'an was an exploitative President.
• Dong'er reflected that Da Ming and Er Ming were living comfortably in the Undead Demiplane and began to consider whether accepting Kong Ming'an's offer could spare her from working hard.

Dong'er joked that she could repay her debt by becoming Kong Ming'an's bed-warming maid, prompting Qiu'er to silently deny Kong Ming'an's claim that she already held that role. Kong Ming'an then began adjusting Dong'er's Sea God Martial Soul, leaving Dong'er in pain and Qiu'er suspicious of the strange sensations she experienced.

• Dong'er asked Kong Ming'an whether she could repay her debt by warming his bed, and Kong Ming'an said Qiu'er was already doing so.
• Dong'er offered to share Qiu'er's burden, while Qiu'er silently protested that she was not Kong Ming'an's bed-warming maid.
• Kong Ming'an ended the joking conversation and began reshaping the Sea God Martial Soul connected to Dong'er's soul.
• Kong Ming'an's Silver Radiance altered the Martial Soul's face and robes to match Dong'er's appearance, causing Dong'er intense discomfort.
• Qiu'er caught the trembling, overheated Dong'er and wondered whether Kong Ming'an's procedure was really a normal Martial Soul adjustment.

Kong Ming'an completed Wang Dong'er's Sea God Martial Soul and gave her Soul Solution to ease the painful adjustment, adding its cost to her debt. As Dong'er began cultivating, Qiu'er watched Kong Ming'an with suspicion and demanded an explanation with her hostile gaze.

• Kong Ming'an fused the completed Sea God Martial Soul into Wang Dong'er, leaving her overwhelmed by intense sensations and pain.
• Kong Ming'an held the limp Wang Dong'er and gave her Soul Solution, which soothed her soul and restored her clarity.
• Kong Ming'an told Wang Dong'er the Soul Solution's cost had been added to her debt, and she jokingly offered to warm his bed in repayment.
• Kong Ming'an pinched Wang Dong'er's cheek and urged her to absorb the Soul Solution, so she began cultivating at once.
• Kong Ming'an reflected on Wang Dong'er's more carefree nature, then noticed Qiu'er glaring at him with suspicion.

In the corridor outside the Laboratory, Qiu'er confronted Kong Ming'an over his intentions toward Dong'er and offered herself in Dong'er's place. Kong Ming'an demanded a deposit for her promise, but stopped her attempted kiss and reminded her of their previous lesson, leaving Qiu'er unexpectedly wanting more.

• Qiu'er accused Kong Ming'an of wanting to make a move on Dong'er and offered to take Dong'er's place.
• Kong Ming'an challenged Qiu'er to prove her sincerity by wearing a Maid Outfit and showing him what she wore underneath when they returned.
• Qiu'er agreed, but Kong Ming'an demanded a deposit before accepting her promise.
• Qiu'er tried to kiss Kong Ming'an, but he covered her mouth with his hand and reminded her not to crash into him as she had before.
• Qiu'er recalled how Kong Ming'an had taught her to kiss and found herself yearning for the sensation again.

While Dong'er completed her soul connection with the Sea God Martial Soul in the Laboratory, Kong Ming'an and Qiu'er disappeared together. They returned with Qiu'er visibly disheveled, leaving Dong'er suspicious about what they had done.

• Kong Ming'an pulled Qiu'er against a wall and kissed her after she admitted she had taken the initiative.
• Kong Ming'an kissed Qiu'er again and touched her chest, leaving her overwhelmed and unable to protest.
• Dong'er finished absorbing the Soul Solution and confirmed her connection to the Sea God Martial Soul was complete.
• Kong Ming'an and Qiu'er returned to the Laboratory, and Dong'er noticed Qiu'er's swollen lips, flushed face, wrinkled clothes, and missing buttons.
• Qiu'er avoided Dong'er's stare and hid partly behind Kong Ming'an, making Dong'er more suspicious.

Kong Ming'an examined Wang Dong'er, encouraged her to cultivate toward Soul Saint in exchange for a subsidy, then took Qiu'er back to his room, where she prepared to change into a maid outfit. He provoked her by suggesting she undress, then warned that Gu Yue might see her.

• Kong Ming'an checked Wang Dong'er's soul and told her to focus on familiarizing herself with her Sea God Martial Soul and cultivating.
• Kong Ming'an promised Wang Dong'er five times the subsidy for five red-tier commissions if she reached Soul Saint within a year, and she eagerly accepted.
• Kong Ming'an took Qiu'er from the Laboratory to his room in the Silver Brilliance Tree, and she hurried toward the door to change clothes.
• Qiu'er confronted Kong Ming'an about wanting to see her in a maid outfit, and he offered to buy her more clothes later.
• Qiu'er threatened to undress rather than keep changing outfits, and Kong Ming'an asked whether she wanted Gu Yue to see her like that.

Gu Yue emerged from her recovery cocoon in the Elemental God Kingdom and reunited with Qiu'er and Kong Ming'an. The chapter ended with Gu Yue embracing Qiu'er while silently meeting Kong Ming'an’s gaze.

• Kong Ming'an sent Qiu'er to change out of her damaged clothes before they went to see Gu Yue.
• Kong Ming'an led Qiu'er into the Elemental God Kingdom, where the Silver Brilliance Tree sustained Gu Yue inside an energy cocoon.
• The cocoon cracked and shattered, and Gu Yue awakened with silver hair and violet eyes before returning to her usual appearance.
• Qiu'er rushed into Gu Yue's arms and told her she had missed her.
• Gu Yue returned Qiu'er's embrace and met Kong Ming'an's eyes over Qiu'er's shoulder.

Gu Yue completed her recovery to Level One God after forging and merging with the Elemental God Kingdom, then reunited with Qiu'er. She believed her restored strength would let her take more initiative with Kong Ming'an, while Qiu'er grew suspicious of their closeness.

• Gu Yue reunited with Qiu'er and asked whether Kong Ming'an had mistreated her, but Qiu'er denied it despite recalling his past bullying.
• Gu Yue let Kong Ming'an examine her, and he confirmed that she had recovered to Level One God.
• Qiu'er watched their easy, familiar interaction and suspected that Gu Yue and Kong Ming'an had grown close.
• Gu Yue felt pleased with her restored strength and thought she could now make Kong Ming'an follow her wishes.
• Kong Ming'an already knew that Snow Empress had left to forge her own God Kingdom, while Gu Yue's recovery had depended on absorbing energy rather than cultivating step by step.

Dragon King Miss, now restored to First-Class God strength, agreed to begin the next phase of Kong Ming'an's plan. Di Tian advanced his Body Cultivator training before Kong Ming'an arrived with Qiu'er and Dragon King Miss, whose appearance shocked him.

• Kong Ming'an assessed Dragon King Miss's recovery and proposed returning to begin their plans for a Plane War and resource plunder.
• Gu Yue agreed to proceed and privately considered discussing Qiu'er and their contract with Kong Ming'an.
• Di Tian left the Spirit Realm after repeated failures to integrate two Blood Essence Furnaces into his Dharma Image.
• Di Tian reviewed his progress, including five Blood Essence Furnaces and strength comparable to an ordinary Third-Grade Deity, while postponing the energy-intensive task of forming a Godhead.
• Kong Ming'an arrived with Qiu'er and Dragon King Miss, and Di Tian recognized Dragon King Miss as his Master.

Gu Yue returned with her strength restored to Level One God and credited Kong Ming'an with helping her recover. She gave Di Tian and other qualified Soul Beasts God Kingdom prototypes to support their breakthroughs, then agreed to Kong Ming'an's request to gather the Star Dou Great Forest's strongest members in one week.

• Gu Yue returned holding Kong Ming'an's hand, and Di Tian knelt to welcome her and learned that she had recovered to Level One God.
• Gu Yue told Di Tian that Kong Ming'an's cultivation system and resources had helped her recover, and Di Tian thanked Kong Ming'an on behalf of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Gu Yue gave Di Tian a God Kingdom prototype and Dragon Scales connected to prototypes for Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Myriad Demon King, Scarlet King, and Zi Ji.
• Di Tian said he could condense his Godhead within one to three days and thanked Gu Yue and Kong Ming'an for their help.
• Kong Ming'an asked Di Tian to gather everyone in the Star Dou Great Forest who had condensed a Blood Essence Furnace or Star Ring in one week, and Di Tian agreed.
