Chapter Summaries

Xu Yuan helped Shan He endure a month-long Mixed Tribulation on Devil Island, then used the stabilized Scroll World to condense new Soul Rings and evolve his Runes. He created the Life and Death Rune and Yuan Rune, then began forming a new Tribulation Rune.

• Shan He opened its Scroll World and endured an intensified Mixed Tribulation as Xu Yuan helped it absorb tribulation power and establish the world's laws.
• Shen Yue reported the second Heavenly Tribulation above Devil Island, and Dragon Old, Ya Li, and Feng Wuyu concluded that Xu Yuan's Soul Spirits were breaking through.
• After recovering, Xu Yuan condensed Shan He's Soul Rings, fusing Shan He with the Heaven Origin Brush through a Seventh Soul Ring.
• Xu Yuan's First Soul Ring evolved from the Five Elements Rune into the Yuan Rune, reflecting his control over the Power of Heaven and Earth.
• Xu Yuan used his brush to create another Rune within the Scroll World, defining it as Tribulation.

Xu Yuan returned from Devil Island after refining his powers and brought the seven old demons back to Shrek, where he opened a semi-realm for them above Sea God Lake. As the group discussed the new ranks and honorifics for God-level Soul Masters, Ya Li revealed that True God Rank cultivators could begin using Faith Power.

• Xu Yuan spent half a year absorbing the energies of Life and Destruction, strengthening his body and mastering the Tribulation Rune’s power.
• Xu Yuan returned to Shrek City, reunited with Na Er, Ya Li, and Feng Wuyu, and confirmed that he had brought back all seven old demons with their souls stabilized for now.
• Xu Yuan opened a vast semi-realm above Sea God Lake with the Heaven Origin Brush, while Tree Elder drew in laws and Xu Yuan anchored the realm with a Life and Death Rune.
• Abomination Old Demon proposed naming their home Seven Saints Abyss, but Feng Wuyu objected that the title “Saint” could no longer be used casually.
• Ya Li explained that the Federation had introduced honorifics for ranks beyond God Level and said that True God Rank cultivators could begin contacting Faith Power.

Ya Li explained to Xu Yuan how Faith Power might relate to longevity and becoming a deity, while Xu Yuan made plans for Seven Saints Abyss and learned about the Federation’s Star Dou Battle Net. The chapter ended with him connecting to the network but failing to register a nickname and logging in as a guest instead.

• Ya Li told Xu Yuan that records from deity-protected tribes claimed Ultimate Douluo could live for up to eleven hundred years, and she explained Faith Power’s importance to cultivation and opening a God Realm.
• Xu Yuan agreed to act more conspicuously to gather faith, then named the demi-realm Seven Saints Abyss and told the seven Old Demons it would train students and host the Dragon Clan’s revival.
• Xu Yuan learned that the Federation had launched Star Dou Battle Net nine months earlier, offering simulated combat for Soul Masters and Mecha Pilots.
• Xu Yuan entered a Star Dou Ship and connected to Star Dou Battle Net, but the system rejected his attempted nicknames, so he chose to log in as a guest.

Xu Yuan explored the Star Dou Battle Net and discussed the Federation’s advances in technology and space travel. He then met Na Er, who gave him a mysterious piece of dead wood containing a powerful presence named Lex.

• Xu Yuan explored Heaven Dou City in the Star Dou Battle Net, considered entering the All-Federation Challenge Tournament, and left without registering.
• Xu Yuan reflected on the Federation’s technological limits and the Star Sea Alliance’s new spaceship, which he could pilot using his own strength and energy control.
• Xu Yuan met Na Er, learned she had reached Level 85, and agreed to take her to the Blood God Legion.
• Na Er gave Xu Yuan dead wood she had found in the Hell Plane’s Land of Dead Bones and explained that it held both death and life energy.
• Xu Yuan devoured the wood’s dangerous death energy, exposed its hidden Divine Sense, and learned from the awakened Lex that the wood was a fragment of a Super Divine Artifact from a magic Realm.

Xu Yuan learned that Lex was a fallen mage from the Saint Heart Plane whose Divine Sense survived within a mutated fragment of the Tree of Life. After arranging shelter for Lex in the Seven Saints Abyss and learning the fragment might grow into a new Tree of Life, Xu Yuan asked Lex to demonstrate magic, but Lex demanded payment.

• Lex explained that the Tree of Life had been the Saint Heart Plane's Plane Core and that he had survived its destruction inside a fragment.
• Lex said the fragment had absorbed death energy and might awaken into a new Tree of Life if its Vital Energy was strengthened.
• Xu Yuan agreed to help Lex return to the Saint Heart Plane if possible, but chose the Seven Saints Abyss as his place to reside.
• Xu Yuan brought Lex, Na Er, and the fragment into the Seven Saints Abyss, where Lex sensed that its laws of life and death could stabilize him.
• Xu Yuan asked Lex to demonstrate basic magic, and Lex asked what he would receive in return.

Xu Yuan negotiated with Lex for a complete magic inheritance in exchange for allowing him to study the Life and Death Rune. Lex taught Xu Yuan the fundamentals of magic, but Xu Yuan’s first attempt to cultivate Magic Power showed no change in his Spiritual Power.

• Xu Yuan asked Lex to teach him magic cultivation and all the spells he could learn, and Lex agreed to teach one complete inheritance in exchange for a valuable offering.
• Xu Yuan showed Lex the Life and Death Rune in the Seven Saints Abyss and allowed him to observe it but forbade him from touching it.
• Lex explained the magic system, its ranks, and how magicians analyzed laws and developed Magic Power through elemental resonance.
• Lex tested Xu Yuan’s elemental affinities and found divine-grade compatibility with numerous elements, including Life, Light, and Destruction-related energies.
• Xu Yuan followed Lex’s method to absorb elemental particles and construct a magic model, then found that his Spiritual Power had not changed into Magic Power.

Lex taught Xu Yuan the Saint Heart Plane’s magic system and discovered that Xu Yuan’s Spiritual Power could cast spells without condensing Magic Power. Impressed by his talent, Lex urged him to make magic his main path, but Xu Yuan refused and revealed that his Soul Master teacher had already reached Super God Rank.

• Lex tested Xu Yuan’s meditation and found that he could not condense Magic Power, though a God Level Meditation Method noticeably increased his Spiritual Power.
• Lex concluded that Xu Yuan’s elemental affinity might exceed God Level and that his Spiritual Power could function as Magic Power.
• Lex explained combination spells and taught Xu Yuan the Blazing Firestorm model, which Xu Yuan memorized and constructed with remarkable speed.
• Xu Yuan cast Blazing Firestorm successfully, confirming Lex’s conclusion that his Spiritual Power could power magic directly.
• Lex urged Xu Yuan to pursue magic toward Super God Rank, but Xu Yuan insisted that he would remain primarily a Soul Master and said his teacher was already Super God Rank.

Lex taught Xu Yuan the principles and advancement path of combination magic, and Xu Yuan used his Scroll World and Dream Realm Space to develop a personal framework of elemental spells. After half a year of seclusion, Xu Yuan had mastered advanced magic of his own and strengthened his inner worlds, while Lex hoped he would soon become strong enough to help with problems on the Saint Heart Continent.

• Lex praised the Soul Master system and explained that Electrolux’s Divine Sense had helped bring Soul Spirits into existence.
• Lex taught Xu Yuan combination magic, and Xu Yuan mastered forty-six intermediate combination spells in three days.
• Lex instructed Xu Yuan to develop elementary spells for earth, fire, water, and wind, and Xu Yuan used his Scroll World and Dream Realm Space to break down and evolve the spells.
• After half a month of meditation, Xu Yuan gained the vision of a true magician and began using his elemental spells to build his own intermediate and advanced magic.
• Xu Yuan secluded himself in Sea God Pavilion for half a year, developed advanced magic, and strengthened his Scroll World and Dream Realm Space.
• Lex congratulated Xu Yuan, promised to teach him the rest of the elemental magic set, and judged that Xu Yuan could reach the True God or Super God Rank quickly.

Xu Yuan returned to the Underworld with Na Er and learned that the Abyss conflict had escalated after the Spirit Pagoda and Research Institute transformed Abyss Creatures into Soul Beasts. With extreme-level battles now breaking out almost daily, he was summoned to join the growing war.

• Xu Yuan agreed to help Lex with future matters in exchange for Lex teaching him magic, then stored Lex within the deadwood and Dream Realm Space.
• Xu Yuan and Na Er left Shrek and traveled to Heaven Forging Peak, where Long Yeyue explained the Underworld's changes and the Blood God Legion's growing need for energy.
• Long Yeyue told Xu Yuan that strange objects in the Underworld could convert energy, and that an experiment had used them to transform Abyss Creatures into Soul Beasts with Soul Spirits.
• The Abyss retaliated against the transformation research by sending three emperor-level combatants to attack Star Dou City, where Zhang Huanyun and Dong Zi'an held them off until reinforcements arrived.
• Long Yeyue reported that the Abyss had intensified its counterattacks, with extreme-level battles erupting almost every day over the past month.

Xu Yuan, Long Yeyue, and Lex examined an exotic artifact in the Underworld, where Lex explained how such artifacts might connect to the Starry Sky Anomaly’s Core Law. Yun Ming arrived and identified energy conversion as the likely Core Law, then called for Jue and judged it exceptionally suited to that law.

• Long Yeyue told Xu Yuan that the Abyss had revived five Ultimate Emperors and that Shrek held twenty of more than one hundred and fifty exotic artifacts.
• Long Yeyue led Xu Yuan and Lex to an unused exotic artifact in Twin Dragon City, where Lex identified it as a possible Energy Node in the Underworld’s circulation.
• Lex explained that a Starry Sky Anomaly’s opportunity was its unique Core Law, and he urged them to investigate how exotic artifacts worked.
• Yun Ming appeared and said the Underworld’s Core Law would likely involve energy conversion, with exotic artifacts connected to its Energy Nodes.
• Yun Ming asked Xu Yuan to release Jue, examined its true body, and said Jue was exceptionally suited to the Core Law.

Xu Yuan learned that Jue could absorb a Starry Sky Anomaly’s Core Law and discussed ways to help it evolve, while Yun Ming planned to use the anomaly’s dispersal to deepen his Underworld’s fusion with Cosmic Space. Xu Yuan then traveled to Star Dou City, where he proposed expanding the Star Dou Battle Net as he prepared to forge equipment and enter seclusion.

• Lex explained that Xu Yuan could either use a rare artifact to transfer the Core Law into Jue or cultivate magic until he could help Jue attract the law naturally, and Yun Ming agreed to intercept the Abyssal Sage King.
• Xu Yuan told Na Er to follow the academy’s arrangements while he went to Star Dou City, planning to forge Heaven Forged Metal and later cultivate the energy conversion law for Jue.
• Xu Yuan met Dong Zi'an at the Zhan Tian Department and learned that Venerable One titles required certification; Dong Zi'an considered recognizing God Origin Realm Spiritual Power as a certification threshold.
• Xu Yuan learned that Star Dou City faced Abyss Emperor attacks about every two days and offered to forge and upgrade materials for Dong Zi'an, his eldest uncle, Yuanen Zhentian, and Yue Rushuang.
• Xu Yuan proposed public Star Dou Battle Net sections for Sub-Professions, cultivation instruction, and theoretical research, and Dong Zi'an realized he wanted to make existing institutional resources available to everyone.

Xu Yuan established God Forging City in the Underworld and began a month-long public effort to recreate God Forging, hoping to prepare a path for his uncle to become a god. After seven days of repeated attempts, he had achieved ten Heavenly Forgings but not God Forging, just as five powerful streams of Abyss Energy approached.

• Xu Yuan told Dong Zi'an that he intended to make cultivation, research, and sub-profession resources accessible to soul masters, and Dong Zi'an agreed to report the proposals to the Federation Council.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Shengqun that he expected to reach the cultivation limit soon, gave Xu Tian spatial-element magic and advice, and said he would upgrade Xu Shengqun's Battle Armor through God Forging.
• Xu Yuan asked Yue Rushuang and Yuanen Zhentian about their armor requirements, then returned to Heaven Forging Peak and told Zhen Hua he would attempt God Forging in the Underworld.
• Xu Yuan established God Forging City and began a public forging session, drawing forging masters and spies from major factions to watch.
• Xu Yuan made at least fifteen forging attempts in seven days, achieving ten Heavenly Forgings but not God Forging, before five powerful streams of Abyss Energy approached.

After five Abyss Emperors attacked God Forging City, Xu Yuan revealed his extraordinary cultivation and used the Heaven Origin Brush, the Scroll World, and the laws to overpower them. He trapped all five inside the city’s sealed domain as a destructive Heavenly Tribulation descended upon them.

• Five Abyss Emperors, including Sage Emperor, Spirit Emperor, and Devil Emperor, attacked God Forging City after Xu Yuan forged continuously for seven days.
• Xu Yuan revealed eight orange-gold Soul Rings and spread the Scroll World across the surrounding space.

• Xu Yuan resisted Spirit Emperor’s Mental Shock and struck back with a violet-black beam from the Evil Eye.
• Xu Yuan invoked the laws of Life and Death and Tribulation, summoning a destructive Heavenly Tribulation that pursued Sage Emperor.
• Xu Yuan sealed the realm against escape, and the Heavenly Tribulation expanded to include all five Abyss Emperors.

Xu Yuan killed the five Abyss Emperors who attacked God Forging City, then used the insight he gained from their revival to develop a method for condensing a metal’s Origin during forging. He began God Forging a Heavenly Saint Shattering Void Crystal, leaving it to face a Seven-Colored Thunder Tribulation.

• Tang Wulin watched Xu Yuan’s divine skill overwhelm the five great emperors, while Old Tang urged him to seek the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and pursue the Sea God Trial.
• Dong Zi'an and Xu Shengqun arrived after Xu Yuan had gravely wounded and killed the five great emperors; Dong Zi'an returned to guard Star Dou City.
• Xu Yuan considered how the Abyss Emperors revived through their Origin, then returned to forging and condensed Origin in the Heavenly Saint Shattering Void Crystal.
• The Abyssal Sage King, alarmed by Xu Yuan’s power, decided to request reinforcements and warned that he might deal with the Demon Empress.
• Xu Yuan used the Scroll World, Vital Energy Domain, and Dream Realm Space to perform Spirit Forging and Soul Forging on the crystal, producing extraordinary spiritual radiance and a Soul Forging Echo.
• Xu Yuan’s seven-element tribulation cloud formed, and the crystal transformed into a spear and charged into the first Seven-Colored Thunder Tribulation, while Xu Shengqun restrained himself from intervening.

Xu Yuan’s God Forging created a metal that merged with Xu Shengqun’s Martial Soul, transforming his strength and revealing a new path beyond Heavenly Forging. After the Federation approved Xu Yuan’s proposal to expand the Star Dou Battle Net, he explained to Dong Zi’an that God Forging Metal could help Soul Masters become gods and might eventually form Battle Armor rivaling a Super Divine Artifact.

• Xu Shengqun resisted the Heavenly Saint Shattering Void Crystal’s influence during its tribulation, then absorbed it into his Martial Soul after it took the shape of his Heavenly Saint Piercing Void Spear.
• Zhen Hua studied the God Forging and concluded that complete inheritance could guide Heavenly Forging toward God Forging, while Yun Ming prepared to condense his Origin.
• Xu Shengqun completed his transformation, and within half a month he reached Quasi-God and gained greatly enhanced Martial Soul, Soul Skills, and Four-Word Dou Armor.
• Xu Yuan spent the following month performing Heavenly Forgings, then visited Star Dou City, where Dong Zi’an told him the Federation had approved sub-profession modules for the Star Dou Battle Net.
• Xu Yuan told Dong Zi’an that God Forging Metal fused directly with a Martial Soul, greatly improved the chances of becoming a god, and could eventually form Battle Armor with the potential to rival a Super Divine Artifact.

Xu Yuan reorganized his powers and condensed his third Soul Core while preparing to break through to Ultimate Douluo and the God Origin Realm. The breakthrough stirred the laws above God Forging City, revealing the immense force of his unified Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

• Xu Yuan urged Dong Zi'an to release the cultivation and research modules and learned that the All-Federation Challenge Tournament had already passed its elimination stage.
• Xu Yuan returned to God Forging City, where Mu Ye and Tong Yu arrived to support the city, and handed Mu Ye materials for the Star Dou Battle Net.
• Xu Yuan entered seclusion and began separating his mixed powers into Soul Cores for Essence, Qi, and Spirit, each centered on one of his three Martial Souls.
• Xu Yuan formed a Spiritual Soul Core in his Sea of Spirit and separated Soul Power from Bloodline Power in his two dantians.
• After three months, Xu Yuan completed his third Soul Core, and the resulting fluctuations shook the laws above his cultivation chamber as his Essence, Qi, and Spirit fused.

Xu Yuan advanced to Ultimate Douluo, broke through to the God Origin Realm, and condensed Jue’s spiritual Soul Ring while developing powerful Forbidden Spells. After emerging from seclusion, he asked Lex about the universe and learned that the Hell Plane could lead to the Saint Heart Plane.

• Xu Yuan fused Essence, Qi, and Spirit, synchronized his three Soul Cores, and broke through to Ultimate Douluo.
• Xu Yuan developed Extinction Divine Lightning, then refined it into Life and Death Divine Lightning and created Five Elements Divine Lightning as Forbidden Spells.
• Xu Yuan broke through to the God Origin Realm and condensed Jue’s spiritual Soul Ring.
• Xu Yuan emerged from nearly a year of seclusion with level-ninety-nine Soul Power and planned to complete Jue’s stellar Soul Ring and the Heaven Origin Brush’s ninth Soul Ring.
• Xu Yuan asked Lex about the universe and the Saint Heart Plane, and Lex told him he could reach it through the Hell Plane.

Lex explained that he had entered the Hell Plane through a wormhole from the Saint Heart Plane and invited Xu Yuan to travel there with him. Xu Yuan agreed, and as his spaceship was upgraded for wormhole travel, he remained at Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy and continued developing Forbidden Spells.

• Lex told Xu Yuan that he had led mages from the Saint Heart Plane into the Hell Plane ten thousand years earlier, where a Deity from the Blood Demon God Realm killed him and left his Divine Sense hidden in the Saint Tree Fragment.
• Lex explained how the Hell Lord's demon lineage became an anchor for the Demon Plane, then warned Xu Yuan that Shrek Academy's Sea God faith had been extracted and that the Abyssal Sage King posed a grave threat.
• Xu Yuan accepted Lex's invitation to travel through the Hell Plane's wormhole to the Saint Heart Plane, after deciding that strengthening himself was more important than staying to guard God Forging City.
• Xu Yuan informed Mu Ye of his departure, and Mu Ye urged him to become a god quickly before the Abyss's larger scheme unfolded.
• At Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, Lex gave Professor Zhang wormhole-travel technology, and Professor Zhang estimated that upgrading Xu Yuan's Soul Forged spaceship would take three months.
• Xu Yuan waited at the academy and focused on developing Forbidden Spells, including Life and Death Divine Lightning and Five Elements Divine Lightning.

After three months of seclusion, Xu Yuan developed a theory for combining Soul Skills through Runes and accepted the Abyss Explorer, a spacecraft Mecha built for him. He entered the Hell Plane with Lex to locate a spatial wormhole, where Lex revealed that he wanted to study the Blood Division system’s contract laws and develop a contract Forbidden Spell.

• Xu Yuan concluded that ordinary Soul Rings could cultivate core Runes, which could be combined to express laws and strengthen Soul Skills like Forbidden Spells.
• Professor Zhang presented Xu Yuan with the silver-white spacecraft Mecha, and Xu Yuan approved its name, the Abyss Explorer, before fusing with it.
• Xu Yuan returned to Shrek City, sealed his Soul Power, and entered the Hell Plane, where Lex said the Blood Demon God Realm had likely disappeared.
• Lex explained that the Blood Demon God Realm had once expanded through conquest and left bloodlines in the Hell Plane, but no Deity inheritances, allowing the Blood Division system to develop naturally.
• Xu Yuan asked Lex for the spatial wormhole’s coordinates, but Lex said he had come to study the Blood Division system’s contract laws and create a contract Forbidden Spell.

Xu Yuan and Lex realized that Forbidden Spells could help create new Realms, offering mages a path toward God-King Rank, and they went to Imperial City to consult Ye Feng about the Blood Division system. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin asked Zang Xin about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, leaving Zang Xin visibly alarmed.

• Xu Yuan explained how Forbidden Spells might reproduce a Realm’s laws or accelerate a planet’s evolution, and Lex saw an opportunity to witness a Realm’s birth and advance toward God-King Rank.
• Lex persuaded Xu Yuan that bloodlines could encode inherited applications of laws, and Xu Yuan agreed to research Bloodline Power without merging with another bloodline.
• Xu Yuan and Lex arrived at Imperial City and asked Ye Feng to discuss the Blood Division system; Ye Feng agreed despite sensing their overwhelming strength.
• At Tang Sect Headquarters in Shrek City, Tang Wulin asked Zang Xin whether he possessed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Zang Xin reacted with a burst of oppressive aura.
