Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao defended his determination to find a true way to resurrect his mother, rejecting the God of Emotion Dai Yuhao's argument that any resurrection would only create a version shaped by memories. Dai Yuhao struggled to answer and changed the subject when the food arrived.

• Dai Yuhao opened the door with divine power as the dishes arrived and redirected the conversation to his memories of selling grilled fish.

Huo Yuhao defended Spirit Hall’s subsidies for Soul Masters, arguing that ordinary people benefited regardless of how official histories portrayed the organization. When Dai Yuhao asked who had taught him, Huo Yuhao turned the question back on him by asking who their future family members would be.

• Huo Yuhao described Spirit Hall’s subsidies and free martial-soul awakenings, arguing that its policies improved ordinary people’s lives.

• Huo Yuhao said that Spirit Hall had paid Commoner Soul Masters reliably, and that he valued the support despite never receiving it himself.
• Dai Yuhao wondered who had become Huo Yuhao’s teacher, considering Fan Yu the likely possibility.
• Huo Yuhao refused to answer directly and asked Dai Yuhao who his future father-in-law and Huo Yuhao’s other half would be.

Huo Yuhao pressed Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, about his past relationships and inferred that Wang Dong was Wang Dong'er and that Poseidon Tang San was his father-in-law. Dai Yuhao conceded that Huo Yuhao already knew too much to need his guidance, then revealed that his second relationship was with Ju Zi, who became the mother of his first child.

• Dai Yuhao began describing his first relationship and said he had not realized Wang Dong was a girl until the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event.
• Huo Yuhao deduced that Wang Dong was Wang Dong'er and insisted that he wanted to protect their friendship rather than let his desires interfere.

• Dai Yuhao acknowledged that Huo Yuhao did not need his guidance and asked whether he still wanted to hear about the remaining relationships.
• Dai Yuhao said his second relationship was with Ju Zi, his senior sister at the Royal Soul Tool Master Academy and the mother of his first child.
• Huo Yuhao recalled meeting Ju Zi and realizing that Xu Tianran treated her with deference and that she wielded great power.

Huo Yuhao confronted God of Emotion Dai Yuhao over abandoning Ju Zi and their son, arguing that responsibility mattered more than excuses about love or status. Dai Yuhao explained the threats and losses that shaped his choices, but Huo Yuhao concluded that he had betrayed the person he once was and surrendered control of his fate.

• God of Emotion Dai Yuhao recalled meeting Ju Zi as a student and regretted that they had not been together, while acknowledging the hatred between her and his father, Dai Hao.
• Huo Yuhao condemned Dai Yuhao for abandoning Ju Zi and their child, arguing that he should have accepted responsibility rather than hiding behind his relationship with Tang Wutong.
• Dai Yuhao defended his choices, saying Ju Zi had conceived their son without his consent and that he had not known about the child, while Huo Yuhao challenged his claims about love and responsibility.
• Dai Yuhao explained that Poseidon Tang San had threatened their son’s life to force Ju Zi to withdraw her troops, and said he had feared that resisting would get the child killed.
• Dai Yuhao listed the loved ones he had lost and said he was relieved that Ju Zi and their son had survived, but Huo Yuhao accused him of losing himself and betraying who he had once been.

The God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, struggled to make sense of Huo Yuhao’s criticism and the flaws in his past choices, then tried to ease his distress alone. Tang Wutong found him and asked whether they were husband and wife, challenging his attempt to hide his feelings from her.

• After their meal ended without resolution, the God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, recognized that his worldview had cracked and that he needed to understand why before rebuilding it.
• He reconsidered his past promises and choices, comparing his solid foundations to the first half of an exam and his later failures to answers written against his own heart.
• In the Divine Realm of Dou Three, Huo Yuhao smoked a cigarette from Dou Two to distract himself from his mental pressure, then discarded it and composed a smile.
• Tang Wutong appeared at the entrance of the Emotion God Temple, and the God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, told her he was fine and tried to change the subject.
• Tang Wutong refused to follow his lead and asked him, “Yuhao, are we husband and wife?”

Dai Yuhao struggled to explain why meeting his younger self had left him troubled, and Tang Wutong realized his guilt came from the promises they had broken to their old friends. She proposed changing events in the other world so their younger selves could avoid tragedy.

• Dai Yuhao hesitated when Tang Wutong asked whether they were husband and wife, then tried to handle his burden alone.
• Tang Wutong offered him the Clear Sky Hammer and demanded he decide whether he trusted her as his wife or regarded her as an enemy.
• Dai Yuhao admitted he had visited the Dou Two Star System and met his younger self from ten thousand years ago.
• Tang Wutong understood that seeing their younger selves had reminded Dai Yuhao of their broken promises to Xiao Xiao, Sect Master Xiao Ya, Sister Nan Nan, and their other friends.
• Tang Wutong proposed having the younger Yuhao skip the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Competition to prevent Wang Dong'er’s death and defeat Xu Tianran and his allies later.
• Tang Wutong accepted the idea of Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er sharing their younger Yuhao, while Dai Yuhao listened to her plan.

Dai Yuhao and Tang Wutong discussed whether changing history could erase Wutong’s existence, and she insisted that her identity came from her own heart. Wutong urged him to change the past and supported him even if it meant opposing Tang San, leaving Dai Yuhao resolved to act.

• Dai Yuhao asked Tang Wutong whether she would still exist if Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er had survived, and she admitted she did not know.
• Tang Wutong explained that she considered herself a new individual whose identity depended on what she believed, then told Dai Yuhao not to suppress his wishes for her sake.

• Dai Yuhao thanked Tang Wutong but warned that changing history could put her between him and her father; she reaffirmed that she trusted his judgment and would stand with him.
• Tang Wutong kissed Dai Yuhao and returned to the Emotion God Temple, while he resolved to prevent another tragedy and vowed to draw Tang San into the conflict if necessary.

Tang San and the other Dou Three God Kings arrived to find the Gods of Dou One and Dou Two already selecting thousands of God Trial Takers and maneuvering to protect their factions. The chapter left the coming contest poised to become a war between star systems, with the Gods treating mass casualties as an acceptable cost.

• Tang Wutong rejected being treated as a substitute for Wang Dong'er or Wang Qiu'er and chose to let Dai Yuhao go honestly as herself.

• More than four thousand Gods from Dou One and Dou Two chose God Trial Takers, despite there being fewer than a thousand candidates suited to immediate combat.
• The Asura God and Rakshasa God assembled a factional strategy around Bibidong, Ye Qingcang, and Qian Renxue while accounting for Poseidon Tang San's possible moves.
• Tang San and the other four Dou Three God Kings arrived and were shocked by the scale of the contest, which could escalate into war between the star systems.

After returning from the God Realm, Ye Qingcang found the Three Finals nearly over and prepared for the team final, whose outcome he had already agreed to shape in Spirit Hall’s favor. Before the match, the Spirit Hall and Blue Tyrant teams shared a friendly gathering until a sudden knock interrupted them.

• Dai Yuhao returned to the Dou Three God Realm, and Tang San learned about the current situation while time passed much faster in the mortal world.
• Ye Qingcang reflected on his agreement with Qian Renxue to give Spirit Hall one or two victories and on his plan to grow stronger without revealing his ultimate trump card.
• The Spirit Hall and Blue Tyrant teams chatted together in Blue Tyrant Academy’s private room before the team final.
• Yan took subtle digs at Ye Qingcang, while Xie Yue tried to pull Yan aside and reduce his presence.
• Someone knocked on the door, silencing the room as Ye Qingcang set down his pudding.

Huo Yuhao visited Ye Qingcang’s private room to ask about a rainbow-colored mark that appeared on his forehead and seemed to identify him as a god’s chosen trial taker. His revelation stunned the Spirit Hall members, who wondered why a god had chosen someone so young and weak.

• Ye Qingcang invited Huo Yuhao into the private room and introduced him to Hu Liena and the others.
• Huo Yuhao apologized for interrupting, then revealed the rainbow-colored mark on his forehead and explained that his teacher believed a god had chosen him as a trial taker.
• Huo Yuhao said the god seemed to be dead and that neither he nor his teacher could communicate with it, so he had come to ask Ye Qingcang for help.
• Yan and several Spirit Hall team members were shocked that Huo Yuhao had become a God Trial Taker, and some felt jealous that the god had chosen him over them.
• The Spirit Hall members privately questioned Huo Yuhao’s tone, which sounded as if he might be dissatisfied with being chosen.

Ye Qingcang considered why Huo Yuhao had been chosen by a Deity and explained the Divine Realm’s competing factions. He could not identify Huo Yuhao’s forehead mark, but promised to ask Asura God and reassured him that a god trial was a two-way process.

• Ye Qingcang reasoned that Poseidon Tang San wanted Huo Yuhao as a way to expand his influence, while other Deities might also choose him under the rules of the game.
• Ye Qingcang outlined the Divine Realm’s three factions and explained that the neutral camp’s personal relationships did not necessarily determine its members’ loyalties.

• Ye Qingcang suggested that another version of Huo Yuhao in the Dou Three Star System might have chosen him, while Qian Renxue argued that Aunt Liu had been the true turning point in changing Destiny.
• Ye Qingcang said he would ask Asura God about Huo Yuhao’s mark and revealed that Mu En had never actively completed a god trial.

Ye Qingcang and Gu Yuena explained the limits and purpose of god trials to Huo Yuhao, reassuring him that a Deity could not simply force him into obedience or kill him. As they waited for the Asura God’s reply, Ye Qingcang asked Qian Renxue how they should make their entrance.

• Ye Qingcang explained that god trials were contests of intelligence, that Deities could not issue excessive missions, and that he would help Huo Yuhao exploit loopholes if necessary.
• Gu Yuena described how god trials developed from soul beasts’ Heavenly Tribulations and explained their three components: divine power, a Godly Body, and a divine soul.

• Gu Yuena told Huo Yuhao that he could pursue his own path and even defy a Deity, prompting startled coughs from those present.
• Ye Qingcang noted that a day in the Divine Realm equaled a year in the human world, then asked Qian Renxue whether they should appear together or separately.

Ye Qingcang and Ju Zi established the Redeemers as a force to infiltrate and eradicate Evil Spirit Masters, using strict sentences and incentives to control those who repented. The Sun Moon Empire’s purge soon quieted down, while the Redeemers’ mission expanded toward threats across other worlds and systems.

• Qian Renxue agreed to stage an exhibition match with Ye Qingcang and use it to identify potential enemies of Spirit Hall.

• Ye Qingcang calculated that each championship prize held resources worth a major empire and explained how the prizes could provoke wars if empires targeted champions who refused recruitment.
• Ye Qingcang outlined how the championship titles were distributed among his factions, the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and the Heaven Dou Empire, while Ju Zi pursued the Sun Moon Empire’s plans.
• Qian Renxue told Ye Qingcang she trusted him completely, and he advised her to remain cautious with others while keeping personal secrets private.
• Ye Qingcang argued that the Gods had not foreseen his rise but had become trapped in a course of action they could no longer abandon, and he explained why they would hesitate to support God King Tang San at the Asura God’s expense.
• Ye Qingcang urged Qian Renxue to focus on her fight so he could crown her with fewer suspicions, and Qian Renxue entered the spotlight with Hu Liena and the others.

The Third Division quarterfinals saw Ye Qingcang’s team defeat Zhang Lexuan’s Shrek Battle Team, while Qian Renxue’s Spirit Hall Team overcame Ma Rulong’s formidable Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Battle Team.

• Ye Qingcang conceded their individual match based on his earlier bet, giving Qian Renxue every Third Division championship.

After the Third Division ended, Ye Qingcang noticed an unexpected visitor and discreetly urged Violet and the others to leave for the night market with Gu Yuena. Their departure left Ye Qingcang alone with the visitor, while Ning Rongrong sensed something was wrong and suggested a nearby market.

• Ye Qingcang realized that an unexpected guest had arrived and redirected Violet, Gu Yuena, and the others toward the night market.
• Gu Yuena accepted Violet's invitation while indirectly asking Ye Qingcang whether she should leave, and he said he would respect her choice.

• Gu Yuena lifted the reluctant Three-Eyed Golden Lion and prepared to leave with Violet and the others.
• The chapter explained that Qian Renxue was absent because she was arguing with Bibidong over how to divide the championship prize money between Soul Tool Masters and Commoner Soul Masters.
• Ning Rongrong suggested a nearby night market so the group would not have far to walk back.

Ye Qingcang confronted the God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, for secretly entering his room, then acknowledged Dai Yuhao’s perceptiveness and invited him to state his purpose. Dai Yuhao had not yet revealed what he wanted when Ye Qingcang guessed he might be concerned about Yuhao’s fate or seek protection for Wang Dong’er and Wang Qiu’er.

• Xiao Wu agreed to support Ye Qingcang, and Ning Rongrong left with the others without getting an answer from him.

• Ye Qingcang admitted he relied on people choosing what benefited them and asked Dai Yuhao to explain his needs and sincerity.
• Ye Qingcang guessed Dai Yuhao might object to his influence on Yuhao’s destiny or seek protection for Wang Dong’er and Wang Qiu’er, noting that Gu Yuena already guarded Wang Qiu’er.

Ye Qingcang rejected Dai Yuhao’s plan to use Qiu’er’s destiny and warned him not to force Huo Yuhao into accepting help, so they agreed to pursue their own arrangements. The Silver Dragon King from Dou Three then tried to recruit Ye Qingcang to her campaign against humanity, but left before he could answer, leaving the Evil God King to begin a surprising confession.

• Dai Yuhao explained that he had planned to use Qiu’er’s destiny to interfere with Poseidon Tang San’s plans, but Ye Qingcang rejected the idea and warned him against coercing Huo Yuhao.
• Ye Qingcang and Dai Yuhao agreed they were not enemies and would each pursue their own plans before Dai Yuhao departed.
• The Silver Dragon King from Dou Three introduced herself to Ye Qingcang and said she wanted to cooperate with him against the God Realm.
• The Evil God King challenged the Silver Dragon King’s hostility toward the God Realm and urged her to follow the Dou Two version’s approach to cooperation.
• The Silver Dragon King described her plan to conquer humanity and offered Ye Qingcang a powerful position and territory if he joined her, then left before he could respond.
• The Evil God King teleported beside Ye Qingcang and opened with, “I like you very much...”

Ye Qingcang explained to the Evil God King that his schemes came from a desire to protect what mattered to him and avoid the future he feared, not from a desire for power. The Evil God King interpreted Ye Qingcang’s choices as acts of pride and caution, and admired how he had faced events from a defensive position.

• The Evil God King offered to make Ye Qingcang his successor, but Ye Qingcang said he did not want another god position or to be treated as something transferred between gods.
• Ye Qingcang told the Evil God King that he hated trouble and had been forced to scheme when others chose paths that threatened his interests.
• Ye Qingcang explained that he opposed Tang San’s history changing his home and Qian Renxue’s fate, and that he had taken precautions rather than accept that outcome.
• The Evil God King reasoned that Ye Qingcang could have manipulated his adoptive mother or killed Tang San, but had refused to use those options because of his pride and uncertainty.
• The Evil God King concluded that Ye Qingcang had protected the people he cared about while facing events defensively, and praised him for it.

Ye Qingcang explained why he opposed gods who interfered in the mortal world and described how he had retaliated against the Asura God and attacked Poseidon Tang San. He left the Evil God King convinced that Ye Qingcang's suspicion and concern for his safety were justified, while calmly asserting that the Evil God King would not kill him.

• Ye Qingcang said gods should answer prayers rather than act on their own, and he blamed the Asura God and Rakshasa God for interfering with mortal lives.
• Ye Qingcang explained that he understood the Asura God's favoritism toward Tang San but had retaliated by killing Tang San and then attacking Poseidon Tang San.
• The Evil God King observed that Ye Qingcang seemed to expect people to target him, and Ye Qingcang called this persecutory delusion and insufficient firepower anxiety.
• The Evil God King wondered whether Ye Qingcang feared he might kill him, but Ye Qingcang argued that the Evil God King would not risk provoking Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena or dying in an attempt to take him down.
