Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingcang tried to examine Wang Dong'er after she collapsed, but her Spiritual Space violently repelled his power and knocked Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu unconscious.

• Ye Qingcang located Wang Dong'er's frightened True Spirit and instantly appeared before it.

Ye Qingcang stabilized Wang Dong'er's collapsing Spiritual Space and confronted her despair after she saw the truth of what happened in the past. He recognized that she did not truly want to die, but could not find a place for herself in the world.

• Ye Qingcang used Three Feet Divine Light to suppress the turmoil in Wang Dong'er's Sea of Consciousness without repairing its breaches for her.

• Ye Qingcang asked whether Wang Dong'er had seen the truth of what happened back then, and her silence confirmed his suspicion.
• Ye Qingcang described how Wang Dong'er doubted herself and questioned whether others' love for her was real, including Xiao Wu's feelings.
• Ye Qingcang praised Wang Dong'er for enduring the pain of the breaches and concluded that she did not want to die, but feared rejection and felt she had no place in the world.

Ye Qingcang helped Wang Dong'er resist her despair by reminding her that Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei cared for her as herself, not because of her identity. Wang Dong'er explained that Xiao Qi was dead and only a fragment of her True Spirit remained within her, and Ye Qingcang offered to repair the resulting flaws.

• Wang Dong'er insisted that she was a monster no one could love, and Ye Qingcang called out her tearful stubbornness.
• Ye Qingcang reminded Wang Dong'er that her friends' feelings were genuine because they had cared for her before knowing her identity.
• Wang Dong'er admitted that the memories released from her shattered Spiritual Space revealed Xiao Qi was dead and that only one percent of Xiao Qi's True Spirit remained.
• Ye Qingcang explained that Xiao Qi's Soul Shards had helped stabilize Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Space as part of Tang San's Poseidon Seal.
• Wang Dong'er questioned Ye Qingcang's familiarity with experiments on flesh and souls, and he admitted he had conducted similar experiments before Violet was born.
• Ye Qingcang asked whether Wang Dong'er wanted him to teach her to repair her flaws or repair them himself.

Ye Qingcang helped Wang Dong'er repair the holes in her Sea of Consciousness and explained how she could mend its remaining cracks later. Wang Dong'er revealed that Poseidon Tang San had hidden a seal in Xiao Qi's Soul Shards, and Ye Qingcang left to see what Tang San was doing outside.

• Wang Dong'er chose to learn how to repair her Spiritual Space herself, and Ye Qingcang taught her to stitch its holes with spiritual power.
• Wang Dong'er repaired the holes in Ye Qingcang's Sea of Consciousness while he exposed them for her to mend, then learned that the remaining cracks could be filled later.
• Wang Dong'er urged Ye Qingcang to defeat Poseidon Tang San and warned that he might exploit Ye Qingcang's absence from the outside world.
• Ye Qingcang said he had anticipated Tang San's move and had prepared a plan, then asked Wang Dong'er how Tang San had concealed himself from his senses.
• Wang Dong'er explained that Tang San had placed a seal within Xiao Qi's Soul Shards and that returning to the Clear Sky Sect to obtain soul rings had reinforced it.
• Ye Qingcang left Wang Dong'er's Sea of Consciousness and returned to his body to investigate Tang San's next move.

After repairing Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Space, Ye Qingcang suspected Poseidon Tang San had used the delay to carry out another move in the Dou Three Star System. With Yue Ye unreachable and his foothold there possibly compromised, Ye Qingcang left with Sheng Cai'er while Liu Erlong prepared an evacuation.

• Ye Qingcang woke after spending more than three hours repairing Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Space and learned no one knew where Violet was.
• Ye Qingcang ordered Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Liu Erlong to watch over Wang Dong'er and prepare Blue Tyrant Academy and their allies to evacuate to the Dou One Star System.
• Ye Qingcang told Liu Erlong that Poseidon Tang San had likely used the altered time flow in Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Space to keep him occupied, and Liu Erlong condemned Tang San's actions.
• Ye Qingcang messaged Yue Ye but received no reply, leading him to conclude that something had happened in the Dou Three Star System and that his foothold there might have been damaged.
• Ye Qingcang sent a message to a special group chat, then opened a World Gate and left for Sheng Cai'er's hometown with her, entrusting Liu Erlong with the evacuation.

A commander of the Temple Alliance’s mountain defenses explained how its professionals countered Dou Three’s Soul Tool forces while protecting the evacuation route from Zhennan Pass. The battle remained contested as both sides struggled to gain an advantage.

• A black projectile struck the Magic Power torrent above the battlefield, then burst into ice that exploded among the forces below.
• The fortress commander watched the fighting and described his limited role in defending one of several positions guarding the evacuation route from Zhennan Pass.
• He explained how Mage squads, assassins, and flying knights countered Dou Three’s artillery, aircraft, and Soul Masters.
• He compared the sides’ combat systems, arguing that the God Seal Plane’s tactics could offset Dou Three’s superior numbers and equipment.
• He noted that the God Seal Plane’s deities and Demon Gods had not yet revealed their full potential, leaving the war’s advantage uncertain.

A Demon Race war council debated whether to help defend Exorcist Pass against the army from Dou Three Main Star. Gilbert and a centaur general supported intervening to preserve the trade that sustained their people, but a Medusa-like commander warned that their roughly five thousand troops could not safely face hundreds of thousands.

• A lion-headed Demon Race general asked the council whether Long Tianyin could hold Exorcist Pass against a large-scale attack.
• The generals discussed how the Human Race's cannons were dangerous in massed fire but could be countered with small, mobile harassment teams.
• Gilbert argued that the Demon Race should help the Temple Alliance because Exorcist Pass's fall would end trade and leave both sides facing the invaders alone.
• A centaur general agreed with Gilbert's proposal.
• A Medusa-like commander counted roughly five thousand troops in their force and warned that they could not relieve the siege without risking annihilation.

Unable to contact their superiors, the isolated Demon Race army at Exorcist Pass struggled to decide how to aid the Human Race under attack. Ye Qingcang arrived with Sheng Cai’er, took command, and ordered the troops to break the encirclement before marching to reinforce Zhennan Pass, which was close to falling.

• The Demon Race commanders learned they could not contact their allies or higher-ranking Demon Gods, while enemy forces clashed with Exorcist Pass’s defenders.
• The Lion-headed Humanoid general ordered the Snake Woman to keep trying to establish contact and warned that the survival of both races was at stake.
• Ye Qingcang entered the command tent with Sheng Cai’er and used a Moon Demon Race princess token to take command of the army.
• Ye Qingcang told the commanders that Dou Three had committed more than five million troops across the Human Race’s six main battlefields.
• Ye Qingcang ordered the Demon Race army to break the encirclement at Exorcist Pass and then march through Human Race territory to reinforce Zhennan Pass.

Ye Qingcang used his magnetic field to tear through the Dou Three Main Star army’s weapons, armor, and rear lines while the defenders of Exorcist Pass prepared to counterattack. He then killed the Three-Word Dou Armor Masters fighting Sheng Yue, leaving the invading force in chaos.

• Ye Qingcang approached the enemy flank and used his magnetic field to twist Soul Tools into deadly fragments, killing hundreds of soldiers without firing a shot.
• The local commander summoned his Dou Armor, but Ye Qingcang’s magnetic field turned it against him and killed him inside his tent.
• Ye Qingcang swept through the army’s rear, disabling weapons and killing Dou Armor users as the formation fell into chaos.
• Sheng Lingxin rallied Exorcist Pass’s defenders to open the gates and attack the invaders from the front and rear.
• One of the Three-Word Dou Armor Masters fighting Sheng Yue tried to leave and reinforce the rear, but Ye Qingcang killed him before he could escape.
• Ye Qingcang used metal spikes grown from the remaining three opponents’ Dou Armor to pierce their hearts and brains, killing them.

After helping defeat the invading army, Ye Qingcang discussed the war’s next steps with Sheng Yue and chose to reinforce Zhennan Pass. He left Exorcist Pass with a concentrated force, aiming to hold back the invaders before counterattacking.

• Ye Qingcang killed four powerful opponents, and Sheng Yue began to ask how he had done it before realizing he had probed Ye Qingcang’s strength.
• Ye Qingcang and Sheng Yue landed on the battlefield, where the enemy’s morale collapsed under attacks from the Demon Race and Exorcist Pass defenders.
• Sheng Yue asked about the army’s next move, and Ye Qingcang proposed defending first, then attacking once the invading forces had been stopped.
• Ye Qingcang selected Zhennan Pass as his destination because the Priest Temple’s forces there were weak in combat, and he said he would provide support.
• Sheng Yue agreed to send Ye Qingcang additional warriors, assassins, and knights, and told him to travel through the pass without detouring.

Ye Qingcang explained why he restrained the Faceless Men’s infiltration of his own allies, then asked Sheng Yue about the force confronting Zhennan Pass. He learned that Qian Gu Dong Feng and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda had cut off communications, but remained confident they could not breach the pass.

• Ye Qingcang said using Faceless Men to replace his own allies would be cruel and would stifle their potential, so he limited their infiltration.
• Ye Qingcang asked Sheng Yue which force Zhennan Pass was fighting after its communications with Exorcist Pass were severed.
• Sheng Yue reported that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, led by Qian Gu Dong Feng, was attacking Zhennan Pass and that the Demon God's Fall squad had been holding him back.
• Ye Qingcang identified Qian Gu Dong Feng as a Rank 99 Limit Douluo and Four-Word Dou Armor Master, but said he alone could not breach the pass.
• Sheng Yue asked whether Ye Qingcang had spies in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and Ye Qingcang replied that the Holy Spirit Church had already infiltrated it heavily.

Ye Qingcang argued that Evil Martial Souls should be accepted and guided rather than suppressed, citing the Spirit Transfer Pagoda’s cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church as evidence of the dangers of discrimination. After Sheng Cai'er refused to give her parents another chance, Sheng Yue accepted her choice and offered Ye Qingcang troops for the battle, while reserving the Mage Squad for Exorcist Pass’s defense.

• Ye Qingcang told Sheng Yue that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda’s pagoda master had willingly cooperated with the Holy Spirit Church and argued that Evil Martial Soul users should have the chance to become respected Soul Masters.
• Ye Qingcang distinguished Evil Martial Souls from Evil Spirit Masters and said people’s stance and circumstances determined whether their powers were considered good or evil.
• Sheng Yue asked whether Sheng Cai'er had suffered grievances and explained that her parents hoped Ye Qingcang could persuade her to give them a chance.
• Ye Qingcang left the decision to Sheng Cai'er, and she silently refused to reconcile with her parents.
• Sheng Yue accepted Sheng Cai'er's choice and offered to select soldiers for Ye Qingcang, while insisting that Yanyu's Mage Squad remain behind as Exorcist Pass's air defense.

Ye Qingcang accepted Sheng Yue’s offer of the Sky Knight Order instead of the Mage Squad and led a mixed force of more than twenty thousand toward Zhennan Pass. He prepared to reinforce the pass, where street fighting and the enemy’s strength made troops essential, while learning about the other passes along the way.

• Ye Qingcang recognized that the Mage Squad was needed to defend Exorcist Pass against the opposing air force, so he did not demand it from Sheng Yue.
• Sheng Yue assigned Ye Qingcang the Sky Knight Order of more than five hundred Punishment Knights, and Ye Qingcang set out with them, Demon Race remnants, and other knights and warriors for Zhennan Pass.
• Ye Qingcang judged that he could not defeat Qian Gu Dong Feng quickly enough to prevent the enemy from capturing Zhennan Pass, so he brought the army to help prolong its defense and inflict losses.
• Ye Qingcang traveled by Flying Soul Tool with mages, summoners, and priests who could relay Temple Alliance information and summon reinforcements through Teleportation Gates.
• Ye Qingcang asked the accompanying team for news from the other passes.

Ye Qingcang assessed the threat posed by Yun Ming’s surprise attack on the Demon Race while leading reinforcements toward Zhennan Pass, where Qian Gu Dong Feng’s forces were fighting the Temple Alliance. The pass was engulfed in a brutal, fragmented battle with no clear breakthrough.

• A Mage Squad member reported that Yun Ming had likely joined the war on the Demon Race battlefield, and Ye Qingcang realized this explained why Yue Ye had lost contact.
• Ye Qingcang concluded that the Human Race could not spare forces to rescue the Demon Race and ordered his troops to save those in immediate danger while preventing Dou Three from gaining strategic space.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng and Spirit Transfer Pagoda experts seized Zhennan Pass with allied forces drawn from the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire.
• The battle at Zhennan Pass intensified as Demon God's Fall attacked Spirit Transfer Pagoda forces and fighters across the city engaged in bloody, fragmented clashes.

Zhennan Pass suffered devastating casualties as the Priest Temple’s healing system buckled, and its vice hall master Ruo Shui lay near death. Just as she prepared to sacrifice herself to heal the remaining soldiers, a mysterious alchemy formation restored her heart, leaving her to seek the source of the Soul Power.

• The chapter described how Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu’s strength and the veterans’ history of war had shaped the fragile peace between the Human Race and Demon Race.
• Zhennan Pass’s heavy losses overwhelmed the Priest Temple’s healing capacity, and Ruo Shui was left gravely wounded with most of her vital organs destroyed.
• Ruo Shui ordered the Eighth Order priests to return to their posts and prepared to cast the Universe Spring Returns Spell with her remaining life force.
• An alchemy formation connected Ruo Shui to a strand of Soul Power, which vanished as her shattered heart was restored.
• Ruo Shui used a nearby priest’s staff to restore her other organs, then looked toward the source of the Soul Power.

Ye Qingcang arrived at Zhennan Pass and heard Ruo Shui report the heavy losses caused by the battle and the city’s fall. The pass still held, but only about 80,000 professionals remained, with perhaps 50,000 to 60,000 fit to fight.

• Ruo Shui recognized Ye Qingcang, thanked him, and rose from the crystal bed.
• Ye Qingcang asked for figures on the fighting and the condition of Zhennan Pass.
• Ruo Shui reported that the pass had begun with 123,753 professionals and suffered severe losses as the enemy broke through and the battle moved into the city.
• Ruo Shui estimated that around 80,000 professionals remained, though only 50,000 to 60,000 were likely able to fight.
• Ruo Shui blamed herself for failing to hold the line and concluded that the Priest Temple had been crippled.

Ye Qingcang arrived at Zhennan Pass with about twenty thousand reinforcements and explained that they lacked the strength to turn the battle through conventional means. He transformed the Dou Three coalition’s Soul Tools into robots and unleashed them against the enemy, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.

• Ye Qingcang told Ruo Shui he had brought around twenty thousand troops from Exorcist Pass, including a small Sky Knight Order.
• Ruo Shui described the enemy’s remaining strength and worried that ten thousand troops would not be enough to defeat them.
• Ye Qingcang rejected Ruo Shui’s suggestion to join the high-level battle and began preparing his own plan.
• Ye Qingcang used a massive Alchemy Array to transform the Soul Tools carried by the Dou Three coalition troops.
• Ye Qingcang activated Spirit Imbuement and unleashed the Myriad Machine Tide, sending the newly transformed robots to slaughter the enemy.

Ye Qingcang used the Alchemy Array to turn Soul Tools across Zhennan Pass into mechanoids, devastating the Dou Three forces and killing Qian Gu Dong Feng. He remained at the array’s center, calmly controlling the battle as the surviving enemies faced his overwhelming power.

• Ye Qingcang’s awakened Soul Tools drained and attacked the Dou Three troops, reversing the battle and causing the forces inside Zhennan Pass to suffer devastating losses.
• The Dou Three troops outside the city formed defensive lines against the mechanoids, but their resistance had little effect without powerful fighters to stop them.
• A Level 92 Three-Word Dou Armor Master broke through the fighting to attack Ye Qingcang, who killed him with a glance and turned his remains into Flesh Armor.
• Qian Gu Dong Feng unleashed his final staff technique while Ruo Shui tried to block the blow, but Ye Qingcang made the staff and attack vanish through the Alchemy Array.
• Ye Qingcang redirected the Coiling Dragon Staff into a Dou Three camp, crushing most of its troops, then killed Qian Gu Dong Feng by exchanging Soul Power for his brain.

Ye Qingcang assessed Qian Gu Dong Feng’s strength and explained how dual cultivation compared with single-path mastery. He judged Qian Gu Dong Feng manageable, while Yun Ming remained a more dangerous opponent whose potential godhood could make him vastly stronger.

• Ye Qingcang concluded that Qian Gu Dong Feng’s reliance on a perfected strength left him vulnerable to anyone who could exploit his weaknesses.
• Ye Qingcang compared Qian Gu Dong Feng to Ye Xishui and explained the benefits and limitations of cultivating both the Soul Master and Soul Tool Master paths.
• Ye Qingcang estimated Qian Gu Dong Feng’s combat power at about three, below Mu En’s God Trial Taker state and far below the gods’ power levels.
• Ye Qingcang judged that Yun Ming could reach First Level Godhood by creating a god position and raising his Soul Power, making him a far greater threat.
• Ye Qingcang admitted that killing Yun Ming amid the current battle would be uncertain, but said he could handle Qian Gu Dong Feng and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda’s other fighters.

After Qian Gu Dong Feng fell, Ye Qingcang crushed the Spirit Transfer Pagoda forces at Zhennan Pass and took command of the counterattack. The God Seal Plane powerhouses left to reinforce the other battlefronts while Ye Qingcang stayed behind to handle the remaining enemies.

• After Qian Gu Dong Feng fell, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda forces fled or fought desperately, but Ye Qingcang disrupted their machines and turned their Dou Armor against them.
• Ye Qingcang’s Flesh Armor killed a kneeling Titled Douluo, ending the survivors’ attempts to beg for mercy.
• Ye Qingcang ordered the Demon God's Fall squad and the other God Seal Plane powerhouses to leave the city, disrupt the enemy army, and lead the Exorcist Pass reinforcements in a counterattack.
• The God Seal Plane powerhouses accepted Ye Qingcang as Zhennan Pass’s temporary commander-in-chief, while Ruo Shui sent nearby priests and professionals into the city and stayed with him.
• Ye Qingcang had sent squads containing seven to twelve Impure World Reincarnation Technique Evil Spirit Master Titled Douluo to each of the other four passes, while Yue Ye held the Demon Race’s side alone against Yun Ming.
