Chapter Summaries

Xu Yuan planned to spend two months in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform to strengthen his Soul Spirits and break through his Spiritual Power bottleneck, while hoping his Dream Realm Space could help Yaoyao advance to one hundred thousand years. Xu Shengqun agreed to arrange the resources, then asked Xu Yuan to teach Xiao Tian.

• Xu Yuan told Yaoyao that the Dream Realm Space had reached a bottleneck and urged her to raise her cultivation before it fully materialized.
• Xu Yuan decided to spend two months in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform to raise his Soul Spirits and improve his Spiritual Power.
• Xu Shengqun complained about the cost and resource demands but agreed to arrange Xu Yuan's access using his influence in the Spirit Pagoda.
• Xu Shengqun asked Xu Yuan to teach Xiao Tian for the next few days.

Xu Yuan learned that Xu Tian had self-awakened a spatial Martial Soul and reached Level 15 Soul Power after fusing with a Soul Spirit. Xu Yuan proposed that Xu Tian’s unusual physique had accumulated and nourished his Soul Power, but he warned that the key question was whether the physique would keep functioning.

• Xu Shengqun told Xu Yuan that Xu Tian had self-awakened his Martial Soul before turning six and that it possessed a spatial attribute.
• Xu Shengqun explained that Xu Tian’s Martial Soul resonated with space and seemed to be continually nourished by Space Power.
• Xu Shengqun revealed that Xu Tian had fused with a Soul Spirit the previous night, then he and Xu Yuan discovered Xu Tian had reached Level 15 Soul Power.
• Xu Yuan suggested that Xu Tian’s physique had absorbed Space Power and accumulated Soul Power, causing his premature awakening and rapid growth.
• Xu Yuan warned Xu Shengqun that they needed to find out whether Xu Tian’s physique would continue to function.

Xu Yuan agreed to train five-year-old Xu Tian, whose special constitution could naturally increase his Soul Power, and planned to teach him cultivation methods suited to his foundation. He left Xu Shengqun stunned by revealing that Soul Masters would soon be able to reach the Hundred-rank and become gods.

• Xu Shengqun learned that Xu Tian's special constitution nurtured his Martial Soul with external Space Power, and Xu Yuan estimated that Xu Tian could match his record if he cultivated diligently.
• Xu Shengqun asked Xu Yuan to teach Xu Tian cultivation and spear techniques, and Xu Yuan agreed.
• Xu Yuan said he would teach Xu Tian the Five Elements Heaven Origin Art and later the complete Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Great Art.
• Xu Yuan explained that the Five Elements Heaven Origin Art would strengthen Xu Tian's foundation and help him control Soul Power from external forces.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that the path to the Hundred-rank would open within ten years, leaving Xu Shengqun asking whether Soul Masters would become gods.

Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that Douluo Star would undergo a major upheaval within ten years, creating an opportunity for Soul Masters to reach Hundred-rank and ascend to godhood. He used Tang Wulin’s bloodlines and ancestry to explain his deduction, leaving Xu Shengqun to realize that Tang Wulin was connected to Tang Wutong and Tang San.

• Xu Yuan warned Xu Shengqun that Douluo Star would undergo a drastic change within ten years and could offer Soul Masters a chance to ascend to godhood.
• Xu Shengqun asked how Xu Yuan knew about the coming upheaval, and Xu Yuan said he had deduced it from Tang Wulin’s unusual bloodlines.
• Xu Yuan explained that Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was extraordinary because it had appeared only in Tang Ya and Tang San before him.
• Xu Yuan reminded Xu Shengqun that Dragon Butterfly Douluo was Tang Wutong, Huo Yuhao’s wife, prompting Xu Shengqun to realize Tang Wulin might be her younger brother and Tang San’s son.
• Xu Yuan said Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline was more crucial than his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

Xu Yuan explained to Xu Shengqun that Tang Wulin carried the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and that Gu Yue was the Silver Dragon King reincarnating in human form. Xu Shengqun ended the conversation proud that Xu Yuan had surpassed both Dragon Kings.

• Xu Yuan explained that the Dragon God had split into the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, with the latter hidden on Douluo Star.
• Xu Yuan used Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline and Golden Dragon Spear to confirm his identity.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that Na Er was an independent human consciousness born from the Silver Dragon Spear and separated from the Silver Dragon King's consciousness.
• Xu Yuan and Xu Shengqun concluded that Gu Yue was the Silver Dragon King cultivating anew in human form.
• Xu Shengqun realized Xu Yuan had suppressed both Dragon King heirs, blocked off the surrounding area, and praised him.

Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that Gu Yue was the Silver Dragon King and explained the threat she posed, then revealed that the Abyss was draining Douluo Star and preventing Soul Masters from reaching godhood. The chapter left Xu Shengqun aware that they needed to find a way to raise the Realm’s rank and overcome the Abyss before Gu Yue regained her full power.

• Xu Shengqun learned from Xu Yuan that Gu Yue was the Silver Dragon King and reconsidered her actions within the Spirit Pagoda.
• Xu Shengqun and Xu Yuan concluded that Gu Yue’s talent, plans, and possible return to her divine strength required careful preparation.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that Douluo Star’s Realm could not support Hundred-rank Soul Masters, so they needed to raise its rank to create a path to godhood.
• Xu Yuan explained that devouring energy from another Realm could raise Douluo Star’s rank, but the distant Demon Plane could not provide enough energy.
• Xu Yuan revealed that the Abyss was continually devouring Douluo Star’s energy and that the energy of slain Abyss Creatures returned to the Abyss.

Xu Yuan explained to Xu Shengqun why the Abyss had not yet invaded Douluo Star and speculated that the Sea God had arranged a Plane Master to protect the Realm. He warned that the Holy Spirit Cult’s two God-Slaying Missiles could destroy the Golden Ancient Tree, then began explaining Tang Wulin’s Child of Nature blessing.

• Xu Yuan explained that the Abyss was an energy Realm whose Plane Master, the Abyssal Sage King, controlled its power and made it difficult for Douluo Star to devour.
• Xu Yuan argued that the Abyss had held back because it feared the God Realm might return, but that it was now close to concluding the God Realm had vanished.
• Xu Yuan said Tang Wulin’s Sea God power suggested the Sea God might be preparing to oppose the Abyss and proposed that the Sea God had created a Plane Master for Douluo Star.
• Xu Yuan speculated that Tang San and his Blue Silver Emperor wife were connected to the Plane Master and the Golden Ancient Tree through the development of forging and new life.
• Xu Yuan reminded Xu Shengqun that the Holy Spirit Cult possessed two God-Slaying Missiles and warned they could destroy the Golden Ancient Tree.
• Xu Yuan contrasted his own blessing from the Golden Ancient Tree with Tang Wulin’s Child of Nature blessing and began recounting what the Nine Great Dragon Kings knew about it.

Xu Yuan explained his theory that a Plane Master was manipulating Tang Wulin and Shrek’s fate to make Tang Wulin the Child of Nature and prepare him to help Douluo Star devour the Abyss. He said the plan had been disrupted by Xu Yuan’s influence, and ended by identifying the Abyssal Sage King as another obstacle.

• Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that Tang Wulin had become the new Child of Nature, while the Golden Ancient Tree resisted the Plane Master’s plan to replace it as Douluo Star’s Plane Core.
• Xu Yuan argued that the Plane Master intended the First-Generation Blue Silver Emperor to become the Realm’s life core after Tang Wulin eventually died.
• Xu Shengqun questioned whether the Plane Master had also advanced the God-Slaying Missile crisis against Shrek, and Xu Yuan said Shrek’s destruction and rebirth could serve the plan.
• Xu Yuan said his unexpected influence and Tree Elder’s resistance had changed the scheme, including its effects on Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.
• Xu Yuan explained that Tang Wulin’s Child of Nature status could let him use Douluo Star’s Plane Origin to devour the Abyss, but said they would also have to deal with the Abyssal Sage King.

Xu Yuan explained the power hierarchy and the Abyssal Plane Master’s strength to Xu Shengqun, then urged him to help oppose the Abyssal Plane Master so Douluo Star could rise. Xu Shengqun agreed to support him, and Xu Yuan asked him to seek authority at the Spirit Pagoda so he could enter the Blood God Legion and study the Abyss’s power.

• Xu Yuan explained the universe’s cultivation ranks and how God Positions enhanced Deities’ strength to Xu Shengqun.
• Xu Yuan estimated that the Abyssal Plane Master could reach God-King Rank and draw on the Abyss’s power, making him especially formidable near his own realm.
• Xu Yuan said that the plan would be completed within ten years and insisted that they had to stand against the Sea God and the Abyssal Plane Master to give Douluo Star a chance to rise.
• Xu Shengqun agreed to cultivate diligently and do everything he could to help Xu Yuan.
• Xu Yuan asked Xu Shengqun to contend for the Pagoda Master position and obtain Research Institute authority so he could join the Blood God Legion and study how to devour the Abyss’s power.

Xu Yuan discussed using the Spirit Pagoda to secure access to the Blood God Legion so he could test whether his perfected Devouring Power could absorb Abyss Energy and accelerate his cultivation. After Xu Shengqun agreed to help arrange a researcher identity, Xu Yuan began preparing for two months of Spiritual Power training before heading north.

• Xu Yuan assessed his perfected Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Great Art and planned to test it on Abyss Creatures at the Blood God Legion.
• Xu Yuan asked Xu Shengqun to obtain part of the Research Institute's management authority so he could arrange a suitable identity, and Xu Shengqun agreed to pursue it.
• Xu Yuan openly told Xu Shengqun that he would oppose the Sea God and received his support.
• Xu Yuan's Spiritual Power bottleneck loosened, and he planned to train in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for two months.
• Xu Yuan noted that the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform was inefficient at enhancing Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and hoped his preparations would solve the problem.

Xu Yuan discovered that he could use Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and his own essence, qi, and spirit to improve the quality of spiritual power in an Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, greatly increasing its effectiveness for raising Soul Ring ages. He planned to turn the method into technology for Xu Shengqun, while noting that he would need manual support to replenish Soul Beasts the platform could no longer detect.

• Xu Yuan restrained the spiritual power released by a nine-thousand-year Phantom Leopard and concluded that ordinary methods wasted most of it when raising Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
• Xu Yuan infused the Phantom Leopard's spiritual power with Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and his essence, qi, and spirit, turning its purple glow black and confirming his method worked.
• Xu Yuan realized his method could improve existing Spirit Ascension Platforms and help Xu Shengqun compete for the position of Spirit Pagoda Master, unlike Gu Yue's separate Ten Thousand Beasts Platform.
• Xu Yuan devoured the transformed spiritual power and found that each of his five Soul Rings had increased by nearly two thousand years.
• Xu Yuan recognized that the Spirit Ascension Platform could not detect Soul Beast deaths when he absorbed their spiritual power himself, so he planned to have Xu Shengqun manually increase the platform's Soul Beast population.

Xu Yuan exploited the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform to strengthen his Soul Spirits and Spiritual Power, while learning that the Spirit Pagoda drew its spiritual energy from a fragmentary Small World. After six cycles of training, he had grown much stronger but had consumed a substantial amount of the platform’s spiritual energy.

• Xu Yuan contacted Xu Shengqun after slaughtering Soul Beasts in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for seven days and asked him to replenish its population.
• Xu Shengqun questioned Xu Yuan about his method for enhancing himself, then explained that the Spirit Pagoda’s spiritual energy came from a stable fragmentary Small World.
• Xu Yuan suspected the fragmentary space came from the God Realm and believed the Spirit Pagoda’s upper ranks had investigated its origin.
• Xu Yuan spent two months repeating seven days in the platform and three days recovering, gaining six hundred thousand years of spiritual energy for his sixteen Soul Rings.
• Xu Yuan’s Soul Spirits grew substantially, and his Spiritual Power rose by two thousand points to the Spirit Abyss Realm High Stage, but he had consumed too much spiritual energy.

Xu Yuan learned that his massive spiritual-energy absorption had helped Xu Shengqun gain ground in the Spirit Pagoda’s power struggle, which had split into three main factions and two allied branches. After arranging for Xu Tian to continue training, Xu Yuan traveled toward Heaven Dou City and stopped at the Moonlight Sect to ask Yue Rushuang for help.

• Xu Shengqun explained that he had used Xu Yuan’s absorption of spiritual energy as cover for a claimed research breakthrough, helping him extend his influence into the Research Institute.
• Xu Shengqun described the Spirit Pagoda’s factions: Qian Gu Dongfeng’s direct lineage, his own side, Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue’s coalition, and the allied Heaven Dou and Star Luo branches.
• Xu Yuan learned that Xu Shengqun could not yet arrange his access to research on Abyssal power, but planned to pursue a connection through Xu Yuan’s father.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Tian to cultivate diligently; after Xu Tian reached level sixteen, Xu Shengqun took over his spear training.
• Xu Yuan left Skysea City for Heaven Dou City, stopped at the Moonlight Sect, and asked Yue Rushuang for help.

Xu Yuan persuaded Yue Rushuang to support Xu Shengqun’s bid for Spirit Pagoda Master and to help establish a Star Sea Alliance for cosmic exploration. After leaving the Moonlight Sect, he visited Mu Ye in Heaven Dou City, where Mu Ye shared breakthrough insights and new research on fusion Martial Souls.

• Xu Yuan showed Yue Rushuang his Soul Forged Jade Silver and asked her to support his uncle Xu Shengqun’s bid for Spirit Pagoda Master.
• Xu Yuan proposed forming a Star Sea Alliance to coordinate cosmic exploration, with Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy leading spacecraft construction and Xu Yuan supplying Soul Forged Metal.
• Yue Rushuang agreed that the Moonlight Sect would cooperate, refined the Moonlight Array with Xu Yuan’s help, and sent researchers to Celestial City.
• Xu Yuan left the Moonlight Sect and stopped at the Forging Master Association in Heaven Dou City, where Mu Ye questioned his short stay at Shrek.
• Mu Ye gave Xu Yuan insights from his breakthrough and new findings from his grandmartial uncle’s research on fusion Martial Souls.

Xu Yuan discussed Martial Soul fusion and cultivation techniques with Mu Ye, who suggested using a Vital Energy Avatar as the framework for fusing Xu Yuan’s three Martial Souls. Xu Yuan then explained his theory about becoming a god within ten years and the Sea God’s plans, leaving Mu Ye convinced by his reasoning.

• Xu Yuan gave Mu Ye a Storage Ring filled with Spirit Forged Metal, and Mu Ye said the rebuilt Body Sect would specialize in medicinal cuisine.
• Mu Ye advised Xu Yuan to improve the Vital Energy Avatar’s durability while preserving its size and power.
• Mu Ye suggested that Xu Yuan use the Vital Energy Avatar as a framework to fuse his three Martial Souls, but Xu Yuan remained unsure how to incorporate the Heaven Origin Brush.
• Xu Yuan put off discussing fusion until he had a Martial Soul Avatar and told Mu Ye his theory about becoming a god within ten years and the Sea God’s plans.
• Mu Ye supported Xu Yuan’s theory and helped him verify it, drawing on the Body Sect’s history.

Xu Yuan discussed the Sea God's influence over Douluo Star with Mu Ye, then traveled to Celestial City to plan the Star Sea Alliance with Zhang Tianxing. Zhang Tianxing agreed to draft the proposal, leaving Xu Yuan responsible for winning support and handling pressure from the Federation.

• Mu Ye said the Sea God had treated Douluo Star as his private backyard, and Xu Yuan urged him to grow stronger so they could break the Sea God's shackles.
• Mu Ye said he had reached Level 99 after fusing again with Little Red and would spend the next decade building a solid foundation.
• Xu Yuan traveled to Celestial City, where Zhang Tianxing sensed his connection to the stars and praised the results of his Starry Sky Meditation Technique.
• Zhang Tianxing warned that the Star Sea Alliance would challenge the Federation's authority and asked Xu Yuan to clarify its purpose.
• Xu Yuan said the alliance's sole pursuit would be exploring the universe, while acknowledging that he also hoped to advance his own goals.
• Zhang Tianxing agreed to draft the alliance proposal and said Xu Yuan would need to secure support and withstand pressure; Xu Yuan said the other forces would not be able to refuse.

Xu Yuan revealed to Zhang Tianxing that he had become a Saint Craftsman, then came to the Star Gazing Platform to cultivate while Zhang Tianxing arranged to contact representatives from several factions. There, Xu Yuan noticed exceptional student Wang Jinyang, whose Power Gem Martial Soul showed an unexplained compatibility with Star Power.

• Xu Yuan told Zhang Tianxing he was already a Saint Craftsman, shocking him with his ability to Soul Forge.
• Zhang Tianxing brought Xu Yuan to the Star Gazing Platform and estimated that representatives from other factions would take at least half a month to arrive.
• Xu Yuan began cultivating at the Star Gazing Platform, allowing Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy's students to benefit from its activation.
• Xu Yuan noticed twelve-year-old Wang Jinyang using a blood-red Power Gem to guide Star Power into his body.
• Li Zhilong explained that Wang Jinyang had rank thirty-one Soul Power and a Martial Soul that passively enhanced his strength, while Zhang Tianxing and Li Zhilong wondered why it resonated with Star Power.

Xu Yuan recognized Wang Jinyang’s talent for Star Power and saw that his Power Gem Martial Soul could suit the Body Sect. After Wang Jinyang finished cultivating and met Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan told him he was destined to join his sect.

• Xu Yuan sensed that Wang Jinyang had reached Soul Power Level 32 and could cultivate Star Power through a faint connection to a star.
• Xu Yuan explained to Zhang Tianxing and Li Zhilong that Wang Jinyang’s Power Gem and Star Power talent could make him highly compatible with the Body Sect.
• Xu Yuan said he would try to recruit Wang Jinyang into the Body Sect while leaving Shrek enrollment to Wang Jinyang’s wishes.
• Wang Jinyang realized his previous training had left his Soul Power poorly refined and gained better control after tempering his Meridians with Star Power.
• Li Zhilong introduced Xu Yuan as Shrek’s strongest current-generation genius and leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, and Xu Yuan told Wang Jinyang he was destined for his sect.

Xu Yuan recruited Wang Jinyang into the Body Sect by demonstrating his power and explaining the sect’s Bloodline Cultivation. Wang Jinyang agreed to join the sect but declined to leave the Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy for Shrek Academy, while Xu Yuan encouraged him to visit Shrek on an exchange program.

• Xu Yuan showed Wang Jinyang how his Heaven Origin Five Elements Spear embodied Body Sect cultivation and Bloodline Power, and Li Zhilong explained the sect’s strength.
• Xu Yuan said he was seventeen, had Level 64 Soul Power, and could kill any Soul Master below Level 95, stunning Wang Jinyang, Li Zhilong, and Zhang Tianxing.
• Wang Jinyang decided to join the Body Sect, and Xu Yuan said his teacher would accept him as a disciple and make him Xu Yuan’s junior brother.
• Xu Yuan asked whether Wang Jinyang wanted to join Shrek Academy, but Wang Jinyang declined because he could not abandon the Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy and Li Zhilong’s support.
• Xu Yuan accepted Wang Jinyang’s choice and suggested he attend Shrek as an exchange student, leaving Li Zhilong and Zhang Tianxing wondering whether Shrek was preparing such a program.

Xu Yuan arranged for Mu Ye to take Wang Jinyang as a disciple and begin preparing him to cultivate a Vital Energy Martial Soul. A month later, Xu Yuan gathered representatives from thirteen factions and demonstrated Soul Forged Metal that absorbed and collected Star Power, offering it to support their research.

• Xu Yuan explained the exchange study program to Li Zhilong and described how Wang Jinyang could gradually convert his Power Gem into a Vital Energy Martial Soul.
• Xu Yuan contacted Mu Ye, who arrived the next day, assessed Wang Jinyang, and accepted him as a disciple.
• Li Zhilong provided Wang Jinyang with a thousand-year Spiritual Object for the disciple-acceptance ceremony, and Mu Ye took him to Heaven Dou City to begin conditioning his body.
• A month after Xu Yuan left Heaven Dou City, representatives from thirteen factions gathered at Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy at Zhang Tianxing's proposal.
• Xu Yuan showed the representatives ten pieces of Soul Forged Metal that absorbed and gathered Star Power, offering them as support for the factions' research.
