Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao captured Dai Huabin and other noble heirs as mechas carried out a massive assault on the Star Luo Empire’s Mingdou Mountain defenses. After a saturation strike annihilated the defensive line, an enormous giant rose from the mountains and flattened the main peak with one stomp.

• Huo Yuhao revealed himself to Dai Huabin, bound him with Silver Spirit Chains, and lifted him into the air in his mecha.
• Dai Huabin saw dozens of mechas carrying captured young nobles above the Star Luo defensive line.
• Tens of thousands of high-grade Fixed Soul Tool Shells struck the Mingdou Mountain Range, destroying its defenses and killing hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
• An immense figure rose from within the mountain range and stomped the main peak flat.

After the Sun Moon Empire destroyed the Mingdou Mountain Range, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen discussed the campaign as the army advanced into Star Luo territory. Kong Ming'an oversaw construction of the first Ling Shu Signal Tower, extending the Ling Shu Network beyond the empire’s borders, where its coverage modes remained to be explained.

• Huo Yuhao confirmed to Xiao Hongchen that he had captured Dai Huabin for later use.
• Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen discussed why the Sun Moon Empire had chosen overwhelming force against Star Luo.
• The Sun Moon Legion advanced across the cleared Mingdou Plain toward the Star Luo Empire.
• Kong Ming'an used the Tree of Myriad Silver Radiance and Ling Shu Ring to coordinate signal tower plans and construction teams.
• The army’s engineers built the first Ling Shu Signal Tower, expanding the network’s coverage into Star Luo territory.

Kong Ming'an advanced his plan to integrate the Ling Shu Network into the world's Laws, forging an Information Law he called “Void Proof.” As the Sun Moon Army pushed into Star Luo, it appeared suddenly at Star Desert City, where the city’s commanding general fled and left an unprepared deputy general to decide whether to surrender.

• Kong Ming'an reflected on the limits of soul-based and Silver Brilliance Tree network models and explained how signal towers would accelerate his Law Integration plan.
• Kong Ming'an concluded that the Information Law did not yet exist as a defined Law in the Universe, so he had to shape it himself; he described the process as his own God-Ascension Stairway and called it “Void Proof.”
• The Sun Moon Legion advanced into Star Luo while construction teams built signal towers and forward bases behind it.
• The commanding general of Star Desert City spotted silver pillars of light and saw the Sun Moon Army emerge from Spatial Ripples beyond the city.
• The commanding general ordered the gates closed, left the deputy general in charge, and fled to seek reinforcements.
• The deputy general watched the approaching army and wondered whether he should surrender.

The Sun Moon Empire declared war and rapidly conquered Star Luo’s western cities using overwhelming firepower and an unexplained troop-deployment method. Dai Hao assembled the Empire’s remaining strength at Jueya City, where he awaited the approaching army and tried to understand its advances.

• Empress Xu Tianzhen declared war, and Sun Moon forces destroyed the White Tiger Legion’s defenses before Kong Deming flattened part of the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• The Sun Moon Vanguard Legion captured twelve cities in two days as the Star Luo court received footage of the devastation.
• Dai Hao ordered Star Luo into a state of war, called for outside aid, and announced that he would personally lead the campaign.
• Seven days later, Dai Hao gathered nearly five hundred thousand troops at Jueya City, the fortress guarding the road to Star Luo City.
• Dai Hao concluded that the Sun Moon Army’s rapid conquests and simultaneous administration of captured cities depended on an unknown mass-deployment technology.

Dai Hao watched Star Luo’s territory shrink and realized that Shrek Academy would not help defend against the Sun Moon Empire. When the Sun Moon Army appeared at Jueya City, a colossal Dharma Image crushed the city’s defenses, leaving the imperial army’s line collapsing under the attack.

• Dai Hao learned that his envoys had failed to secure aid from Shrek Academy or the other powers, and suspected the former emperor had abdicated to protect the Star Crown Lineage from a trap.
• Dai Hao gathered Star Luo’s remaining Titled Douluo on Jueya City’s walls as the Sun Moon Army appeared across the plains.
• Dai Hao ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and Star Luo’s Titled Douluo rose to confront the enemy.
• A colossal metallic hand emerged through a rift in the sky and struck down nine Titled Douluo before a thousand-meter Dharma Image appeared.
• The Dharma Image crushed Jueya City with one step, and a palace guard dragged Dai Hao away as the Sun Moon Army charged through the breach.

The Sun Moon Empire conquered the Star Luo Empire, and Huo Yuhao visited the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to confront the former Duchess with Dai Hao and Dai Huabin. He left them alive but bound, explaining that his revenge came from the abuse he and his mother had suffered.

• Kong Deming and the Sun Moon Army crushed Star Luo's forces at Jueya City, while Huo Yuhao captured Dai Hao and broke his legs.
• The Sun Moon Army took Star Luo City, and the remaining cities surrendered or were conquered after the empire's ultimatum.
• The Sun Moon Empire announced Star Luo's fall and began rebuilding the capital as Huo Yuhao visited the abandoned courtyard where he had lived with his mother.
• Huo Yuhao entered the former Duchess's room, struck her down, and used Spiritual Power to restore some clarity to her mind.
• Huo Yuhao bound the Duchess and placed Dai Hao and Dai Huabin before her, then told her he sought revenge for the abuse inflicted on him and his mother.

After completing his revenge on the Duchess, Dai Hao, and Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao left the Duke’s Mansion and returned to his work for the Sun Moon Empire. The empire extended the Ling Shu Network across the former Star Luo territory, using it to register the population, investigate crimes, consolidate its rule, and announce provincial reorganization and infrastructure plans.

• Huo Yuhao tortured Dai Hao and Dai Huabin while forcing the Duchess to watch, then left the Duke’s Mansion after two days with their heads arranged in the hall.
• Huo Yuhao traveled to the military command center as the Sun Moon Empire finished clearing resistance across the former Star Luo Empire and activated more than 3,600 Ling Shu Signal Towers.
• The Sun Moon Army registered the population through the Ling Shu Network and entered official records and accumulated evidence into its database.
• The Order system reviewed cases and identified suspects, prompting arrests and public trials of former Star Luo nobles, officials, and local magnates.
• After public trials and network access increased support for Sun Moon rule, the empire reorganized the territory into twenty-four provinces and announced a large infrastructure program.

The Sun Moon Empire rapidly absorbed the Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul Empires after both surrendered, completing its unification of the Douluo Continent. Xu Tianzhen then questioned how a continent-wide conquest could have ended in barely two months.

• The Sun Moon Empire dismantled Star Luo’s former government and introduced new policies, public offices, and the God-Sealing Method.
• On March 3rd, the Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul Empires submitted unconditional surrenders, which the Sun Moon Empire accepted the next day.
• On March 5th, Sun Moon forces began building Ling Shu Signal Towers outside major cities in both former empires.
• By March 14th, the Ling Shu Network covered the continent, and the Sun Moon Empire began screening residents, addressing crime, and promoting its policies across both regions.
• On March 20th, the Sun Moon Empire announced the provincial incorporation of Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul, completing its unification of the continent.
• In the Imperial Palace, Xu Tianzhen told Kong Ming'an that the speed of the conquest felt unreal and remarked that it had taken less than two months.

After the Sun Moon Empire’s unification of the continent, Kong Ming'an told Xu Tianzhen that the realm was entering a period of consolidation and that overseas expansion would continue through former rival forces. Xu Tianzhen looked forward to a vacation, but Kong Ming'an sensed an urgent matter and left the palace to handle it.

• Kong Ming'an told Xu Tianzhen that the conquest had gone quickly because the Sun Moon Empire had strong military, economic, and intelligence support and faced little resistance.
• Kong Ming'an explained that the empire would focus on integrating the conquered lands, extending the Ling Shu Network, and promoting its systems and technology.
• Kong Ming'an said Xu Jiawei and Star Crown Sect members had sailed to one overseas continent, while former Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling royal forces would jointly develop the other.
• Xu Tianzhen realized she could take a break from her imperial duties and excitedly began planning how to enjoy her free time.
• Kong Ming'an sensed an important matter, told the sleepy Xu Tianzhen to rest, and vanished from the bedchamber.

Kong Ming'an met Wang Dong'er at an overseas outpost and learned that the Demon Empress had attacked her during a survey mission. After releasing the Demon Empress from her Soul-Sealing Bracelets, he suppressed her completely and left her captive on the reef.

• Kong Ming'an arrived at the Sun Moon Empire's overseas outpost and detected Wang Dong'er cultivating nearby with an unfamiliar energy accompanying her aura.
• Wang Dong'er flew to Kong Ming'an after he contacted her through the Ling Shu Network.
• Kong Ming'an spotted a wary woman on a nearby reef and removed the Soul-Sealing Bracelets from her wrists.
• The Demon Empress's Soul Power surged as she tried to attack or flee, but Kong Ming'an's force pinned her down and suppressed her.
• Wang Dong'er told Kong Ming'an that the Demon Empress and several Ferocious Beast-level Sea Soul Beasts had attacked her during a survey mission, accusing her of being the Sea God's inheritor.

Wang Dong'er explained how she subdued the Demon Empress and learned that she sought revenge on Tang San for killing her husband, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Kong Ming'an recruited the Demon Empress to help expand the Ling Shu Signal Tower network, then set out with Wang Dong'er to confront another old acquaintance.

• Wang Dong'er told Kong Ming'an that she had sealed the Demon Empress after learning of her hatred for Tang San and had promised that Kong Ming'an could help her take revenge.
• Kong Ming'an released the Demon Empress from his suppression and gave her information about the Ling Shu Network and a mission to help build signal towers in the deep sea.
• The Demon Empress asked whether Kong Ming'an could kill Tang San, then swore to assist him and offered the help of trusted old friends.
• Kong Ming'an told Wang Dong'er to coordinate the Demon Empress's arrangements and release her companions after they signed contracts.
• The Demon Empress transformed into a dark-violet whale and swam into the deep sea to settle matters before the mission, including finding a safe place for her daughter.
• Kong Ming'an took Wang Dong'er by the hand and set out to deal with another old acquaintance, whom Wang Dong'er eagerly anticipated confronting.

Lower Realm Tang San broke through to level eighty-two, claimed his eighth Sea God Trial reward, and was found unconscious by Kong Ming'an and Wang Dong'er, who began altering his information and taking on the Asura God Seat Origin. In the God Realm, Tang San celebrated gaining greater control of the Asura origin and sent more of it down to the lower realm.

• Lower Realm Tang San absorbed a ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring, broke through to level eighty-two, and spent a day mastering his new power.
• Lower Realm Tang San claimed the reward for his completed eighth Sea God Trial and collapsed as a massive infusion of divine power entered him.
• Kong Ming'an and Wang Dong'er appeared in the Stone Chamber, where Kong Ming'an used the Asura God Ring to edit false information and take on the Asura God Seat Origin.
• God Realm Tang San found that his control over the Asura God Seat Origin had risen to thirty-four percent and planned to gain still more by using Lower Realm Tang San as a bearer.
• God Realm Tang San sensed Lower Realm Tang San's completed trial and sent prepared Asura God Seat Origin down to him.

God Realm Tang San transferred sixteen percent of the Asura God Position Origin to his lower-realm self, then prepared to increase his own control over it while growing wary of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. In the Holy Spirit Cult's Secret Chamber, Kong Ming'an took the Sea God Trial mark from the unconscious Lower Realm Tang San and transferred it to Wang Dong'er.

• The God Realm Tang San's transfer of Asura God Position Origin to Lower Realm Tang San stopped at sixteen percent, the vessel's current limit.
• God Realm Tang San noticed that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had sealed their residence and suspected they were plotting against him.
• God Realm Tang San revealed a dark, resentful Divine Seat in his palm, concealed it, and resumed absorbing control of the Asura God Position Origin.
• Kong Ming'an withdrew from Lower Realm Tang San and confirmed that his Asura God Ring now held sixteen percent of the God Seat Origin.
• Kong Ming'an joined hands with Wang Dong'er, drew the Sea God Trial mark from the unconscious Tang San, and placed it between Wang Dong'er's brows.

Kong Ming'an transferred the Sea God inheritance to Wang Dong'er, granting her the first eight trials and the qualifications to inherit the Sea God Seat. They left to prepare her cultivation, while Tang San awoke under Kong Ming'an's influence and went to make the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters help him cultivate.

• Kong Ming'an granted Wang Dong'er the Sea God inheritance, completing her first eight trials and giving her enough affinity to attempt the ninth.
• Wang Dong'er asked about killing Tang San, but Kong Ming'an said they needed to strengthen her cultivation and control first.
• Kong Ming'an explained that he had left Tang San an empty-shell God Trial Mark and planned to use him later against God Realm Tang San.
• Kong Ming'an promised to reimburse Wang Dong'er's training expenses, then took her away from the Secret Chamber.
• Tang San awoke, walked out under Kong Ming'an's influence, and set out to make the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters help him cultivate.

Kong Ming'an oversaw Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er’s sparring as they refined their rapidly growing strength, then reunited with Gu Yue. Gu Yue confronted him about his recent intimacy with Qiu'er, and Kong Ming'an defended their dual cultivation while drawing Gu Yue close.

• The overseas expansion and ocean network progressed, while the Demon Empress pursued cultivation and Merchant Guild assignments to prepare for revenge against Tang San.
• Kong Ming'an watched Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er battle at sea and guided them through the Ling Shu Network as they honed their abilities.
• Wang Dong'er used her Sea God Martial Soul to challenge Qiu'er, who fought with her Golden Dragon Spear and light armor.
• Gu Yue appeared beside Kong Ming'an, smelled Qiu'er on him, and accused him of bullying her during their recent days together.
• Kong Ming'an pulled Gu Yue close and said his dual cultivation with Qiu'er had helped make her stronger.

Kong Ming'an examined Gu Yue to assess her readiness to break through to God King. He found that she was already near the threshold and mainly needed to accumulate more energy, though he considered her approach inefficient and unhelpful as a model for the God-Ascension Stairway.

• Kong Ming'an teased Gu Yue about her past visits and her unwillingness to resist him, while she insisted that he was merely useful to her cultivation.
• Kong Ming'an stopped teasing Gu Yue and told her it was time to prepare for her breakthrough to God King.
• Kong Ming'an used Silver Radiance to examine Gu Yue's body, meridians, Origin, God Kingdom, and energy nodes.
• Gu Yue said she would be close to the critical point after absorbing the remaining Golden Dragon King Origin energy in the Golden Dragon God Ring and accumulating a little more.
• Kong Ming'an concluded that Gu Yue's breakthrough depended on accumulating enough energy, but judged the process inefficient and unsuitable as a reference for the God-Ascension Stairway.

Kong Ming'an brought Gu Yue to an Abyss Plane rift to test his newly devised fifth stage of the God-Ascension Stairway and find her a suitable source of nourishment. They entered the Abyss Plane, where a majestic altar and Dark Throne stood at its center.

• Kong Ming'an examined Gu Yue and said he needed to test the fifth stage of the God-Ascension Stairway on a First-Class God before using it on her.
• Kong Ming'an told Dong'er and Qiu'er he would be away, then took Gu Yue from the sea to the Lightless Trench.
• Gu Yue recognized a Plane Rift, and Kong Ming'an explained that it connected to the Abyss Plane, ruled by a Plane Lord at the Level One God level.
• Kong Ming'an deactivated the Silver Array sealing the rift and led Gu Yue through before it could grow large enough for an invasion.
• Kong Ming'an and Gu Yue arrived in the Abyss Plane's first layer, where a bone-and-crystal altar held a dark throne.

The Abyssal Sage King discovered that an army from another plane had invaded the Abyss Plane, deploying forces across all 108 layers. The invasion erupted into battle throughout 107 layers, while the Saint Lord’s layer remained untouched.

• The Abyssal Sage King sensed that the seal on a rift had been undone and summoned the Spirit Emperor and other Abyss Emperors to investigate.
• Five silver moons appeared above the Abyss Plane and sent beams of light into every layer.
• Silver-armored armies emerged from the beams and formed disciplined battle formations across the abyss.
• Abyss Creatures charged the invaders, but Soul Tool Cannons and energy shields devastated their first wave.
• Blood Giants and haloed figures attacked the Abyss Emperors, and fighting engulfed all layers except the Saint Lord’s first layer.

The Abyssal Sage King watched coordinated invasions across the Abyss Plane with confidence, until four gods arrived at its core and Kong Ming'an was found holding his stolen Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd. Gu Yue, the God King, revealed overwhelming power, and the Abyssal Sage King transformed to face the threat while concealing his true intentions.

• The Abyssal Sage King dismissed the invasion forces, trusting the Abyss Plane's ability to recover and his own strength as its Lord.
• Four god-level combatants descended upon the Abyss's core layer, alarming the Spirit Emperor and prompting the Abyssal Sage King to rise from his throne.
• The Abyssal Sage King discovered Kong Ming'an and another figure behind his throne, with Kong Ming'an holding the Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd.
• Gu Yue summoned the Silver Dragon Spear and restrained the Abyssal Sage King with the aura of a Level One God who had mastered a complete Law.
• The Abyssal Sage King abandoned his human form and drew energy from the Abyss Plane, while secretly holding something back.

The Dragon King Miss restrained the Abyssal Sage King while Kong Ming'an blocked his Plane Lord authority and planted a silver seed in his forehead. After his power and connection to the Abyss Plane returned, a small silver tree sprouted atop his head, leaving him stunned.

• The Dragon King Miss used seven-colored Law Chains to pierce and restrain the Abyssal Sage King, interrupting his attempt to escape through fragments of his Divine Soul.
• Kong Ming'an touched the Abyssal Sage King's forehead, temporarily severed his connection to the Abyss Plane, and planted a silver seed beneath his skin.
• Kong Ming'an released his restriction, and the Dragon King Miss dissolved the chains, restoring the Abyssal Sage King's connection to the plane.
• The Abyssal Sage King regained his strength and tried to attack Kong Ming'an and the Dragon King Miss, but dizziness stopped his raised hand.
• The Abyssal Sage King sensed a small silver tree growing atop his head and watched it purify the Abyss energy around him.
