Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingcang returned to Dou Two and met the Silver Dragon Kings Gu Yuena from two different eras in the Star Dou Great Forest. After approving Dou Three Gu Yuena’s plan to use his soul-ring manufacturing technology, he proposed that Dou Two Gu Yuena cooperate with him to build stronger bonds between soul beasts and Summoners.

• Ye Qingcang returned to Dou Two and reflected on Huo Yuhao’s choices and God King Tang San’s growing influence.
• Ye Qingcang met the Dou Two and Dou Three versions of Gu Yuena, who looked nearly identical, and identified each by her aura.
• Dou Two Gu Yuena reported that artificial soul rings had sharply reduced soul beast hunting and that conservation efforts had begun growing the beast clan’s population.
• Dou Three Gu Yuena apologized for her earlier distrust and asked to use Ye Qingcang’s machinery and transfer soul beasts to save species that had gone extinct in her era.
• Ye Qingcang authorized Dou Three Gu Yuena to use the technology and invited Dou Two Gu Yuena to begin a deeper collaboration.
• Ye Qingcang proposed promoting Summoners who treated soul beasts as fighting companions, aiming to change public attitudes and reduce soul beast deaths for the long term.

Ye Qingcang explained how contracts between humans and Soul Beasts could make Soul Beasts indispensable in an escalating arms race. When Dou Three's Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena warned that peace would revive human hatred of Soul Beasts, Ye Qingcang proposed starting wars with other worlds to unite humans and beasts against a common enemy, leaving Gu Yuena unsettled by his ruthless plan.

• Ye Qingcang argued that contracted Soul Beasts would become part of their human partners’ strength, leading summoners and other professions to protect them and drive an arms race.
• Ye Qingcang described how Soul Beasts could support knights, magicians, priests, assassins, and warriors, giving teams a major advantage through added combat power and specialized abilities.
• Dou Three's Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena warned that humans would target Soul Beasts for soul rings again if the world became peaceful, and that Soul Beasts might split along human faction lines.
• Ye Qingcang proposed turning humanity and the beast race toward an outside world, claiming an external war would unite them and bring shared resources.
• Ye Qingcang suggested prolonging the war and shaping stories of human and Soul Beast comradeship to secure their unity, leaving Gu Yuena uneasy despite recognizing that the plan could work.

Ye Qingcang heard Di Tian’s report on the shifting conflicts across Dou One, Dou Two, and Dou Three, then invited the Silver Dragon Kings to explore gaining strength through national fortune. Gu Yuena chose to test the method with a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast.

• Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King of Dou Two, expressed reluctance about Ye Qingcang’s plan, while Gu Yuena of Dou Three voiced admiration and offered the soul beast race’s cooperation.
• Gu Yuena of Dou Two asked Di Tian to brief Ye Qingcang on the situation across the three planes, and Di Tian described Shrek Academy’s decline, political alliances, rising tensions, and ongoing interstellar war.
• Ye Qingcang considered the conflicts and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda’s contact with the Five Elements Continent, then asked whether the Silver Dragon Kings would become guardian divine beasts of a nation through national fortune.
• Ye Qingcang explained that national fortune could greatly strengthen a beast but might also destroy it, and Gu Yuena of Dou Two proposed sending a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast to test the method.

Ye Qingcang explained his plan to use demons from the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world to alter the balance between humans and beast clans across three star systems, and outlined that world's power levels. He left the group with plans to open a World Gate, scout the other world, and bring people over to explore.

• Gu Yuena asked how Ye Qingcang would use the vast populations across the Douluo star systems, and he said internal pacification would be inefficient, so he intended to use external conflict to ease internal tensions.
• Ye Qingcang rejected creating a new species through life alchemy and proposed connecting their worlds with a demon world, where he had discovered a form of immortality.
• Gu Yuena reasoned that demons could balance humans and beast clans, and Ye Qingcang explained that demons included beast-like forms and could preserve memories through reincarnation after making a wish beneath the Bitter Love Giant Tree.
• At Gu Yuena's request, Ye Qingcang compared the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world's demons, Demon Kings, Demon Emperors, and higher beings to soul beasts, ferocious beasts, and Deities.
• Ye Qingcang proposed opening a World Gate, scouting the demon world himself, and then bringing people over to explore.

Ye Qingcang reassured the two Gu Yuenas that God King Tang San would not counter-invade, explaining that he could offer the Third Young Master access to stronger worlds and realms. He remained confident in his unique power and connections as preparations for the interstellar expedition continued.

• Gu Yuena of the Dou Three Star System warned Ye Qingcang that adding another star system could prompt God King Tang San to join forces with a supreme expert and counter-invade.
• Ye Qingcang said the Third Young Master would accept his offer because he could provide access to a higher realm and worlds beyond Tang San's reach.
• Ye Qingcang reflected on the power within his soul, which he believed had enabled his transmigration and granted him the ability to explore other star systems.
• Ye Qingcang compared the Third Young Master's prospects in stronger worlds and concluded that his connections could help keep Tang San from becoming a threat.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Qingcang weighed the many forces tied to him and resolved to coordinate with their leaders before beginning an expedition to another world. He wanted allies to join by choice and to avoid repeating Tang Hao’s mistake of endangering his allies through reckless action.

• Ye Qingcang left the Star Dou Great Forest after exchanging intelligence with the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
• Ye Qingcang considered the allies and affiliated forces that could be drawn into a conflict, including Blue Tyrant Academy, Spirit Hall, the Demon Race, the Six Great Temples, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ye Qingcang reviewed how Tang Hao’s expulsion from the Clear Sky Sect had deprived his allies of a reason to support him and had contributed to the Three Upper Sects’ losses.
• Ye Qingcang decided to consult Spirit Hall leaders Qian Renxue and Bibidong, as well as Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, before acting on his plans.
• Ye Qingcang also considered Shrek Academy’s leadership and recent staffing changes as he prepared to tell potential allies about establishing a presence in another world.

Violet reported that forces from Dou Three were contesting Blue Tyrant Academy’s interests, while Spirit Hall was too stretched thin to deploy freely. Ye Qingcang decided to offer Spirit Hall support with reanimated bodies and told Violet to avoid using the Angel remains unless necessary.

• Violet told Ye Qingcang that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and Shrek Academy were leading forces that refused peaceful coexistence and were interfering in Dou Two.
• Ye Qingcang read about the Spirit Transfer Pagoda’s repeated attacks on Yue Ye’s chamber of commerce and the bloody battle in which the Spirit Transfer Pagoda lost four Titled Douluo.
• Violet reported that the Six Great Temples had discovered the Creation Continent and clashed with its inhabitants, drawing Spirit Hall into the conflict.
• Ye Qingcang offered Spirit Hall reanimated bodies, including Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, and ordered that the Angel remains not be used unless necessary.

Violet reported that Huo Yuhao and the Dou Three Gods of Goodness and Evil would cooperate with Ye Qingcang, while Ye Qingcang weighed the political risks and changed the order of his plans. He sent Violet to prepare for an exploration mission and went to confirm the Fox Demon Star System’s timeline.

• Violet told Ye Qingcang that Huo Yuhao would help in exchange for rewriting Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er's destinies, and that the Goddess of Goodness and Evil God would cooperate in exchange for the Dou Three Star System’s autonomy.
• Ye Qingcang judged that the Gods’ support could corner God King Tang San and provoke a backlash, so he decided to delay the counterattack and begin the exploration plan first.
• Violet warned that Blue Tyrant Academy’s growing admissions and operations could strain its resources, and asked whether they should broaden their targets and prepare for shortages.
• Ye Qingcang advised Violet to pace herself and prioritize cultivation over administration, then left to confirm the Fox Demon Star System’s timeline.

Ye Qingcang encountered Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan, and their attendant on a rainy road near the Southern Kingdom. After Qinlan accidentally splashed the attendant and remarked on Ye Qingcang walking without an umbrella, the strangers introduced themselves, leaving Ye Qingcang face-to-face with the two Dongfang sisters.

• Dongfang Qinlan complained about the rain and boasted that she would defeat any demons she encountered, while Dongfang Huaizhu cautioned her about the dangers near the Southern Kingdom.

• Dongfang Huaizhu noticed Ye Qingcang's unfamiliar knowledge and asked whether he came from Aolai Country or beyond their world's borders.

Ye Qingcang discussed the world and the Circle with Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan as they walked toward town. Dongfang Huaizhu showed little interest in exploring beyond the Circle, while Ye Qingcang reflected on how Wangquan Baye and his peers compared with other human talents.

• Ye Qingcang asked Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan how large they believed the world was and whether he came from Aolai Country or beyond the Circle.
• Dongfang Qinlan described the territories of the Human Race and Demon Race, explained that Aolai Country lay far east of Tushan, and pointed out that Dongfang Huaizhu had seen the One Qi Alliance's Secret Records.
• Dongfang Huaizhu said the Secret Records showed a golden figure drawing a circle and explained how she had learned about the concepts of inside and outside the Circle.
• Ye Qingcang asked whether Dongfang Huaizhu wanted to see beyond the Circle, and she questioned why she would need to; he agreed that exploring it was unnecessary.
• Ye Qingcang considered Wangquan Baye's strength and compared him unfavorably with Electrolux, Wang Quan Wumu, and Wangquan Shouzhuo.

Ye Qingcang explained his vast cosmology to Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, while Huaizhu quietly weighed the risks of his claims and intentions. The group reached an eerily empty town, and after they settled into its only open inn, several figures descended from the sky.

• Ye Qingcang, Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan, and the little book boy entered the only open inn and ordered food.
• Several figures descended from the sky while the group waited for their meal.

Ye Qingcang watched Shi Tang, Chi Huo, and Ximen Chuisha arrive and reflected on how his presence had changed the expected course of events. As the group settled in the tavern, Dongfang Qinlan turned her attention to the newcomers and their conversation.

• Ye Qingcang observed the three newcomers and considered how they differed in their ways of dealing with others.

• Dongfang Huaizhu stopped Dongfang Qinlan from probing Ye Qingcang about his secrets, and Dongfang Qinlan returned to eating.
• Shi Tang, Chi Huo, and Ximen Chuisha began talking, catching the attention of Dongfang Qinlan, Dongfang Huaizhu, Ye Qingcang, and the little book attendant.

At an inn, Dongfang Qinlan took offense when Chi Huo was praised as the Little Fire God and when Ximen Chuisha insulted the Dongfang family. She challenged Chi Huo and revealed her golden flames, leaving him stunned and Ye Qingcang amused.

• Ximen Chuisha praised Chi Huo as the Little Fire God, and Dongfang Qinlan grew angry while listening from the next table.

• Dongfang Qinlan challenged Chi Huo to a contest and revealed a powerful golden flame, identifying herself as a daughter of Shenhuo Mountain Manor.
• Ye Qingcang teased Dongfang Huaizhu about her younger sister’s name, Dongfang Qinlan.

Dongfang Qinlan challenged Chi Huo after confronting him and the others for speaking ill of her, but Dongfang Huaizhu ended the quarrel before it became a fight.

• Ye Qingcang told Ximen Chuisha, Shi Tang, Chi Huo, and the Dongfang sisters that history had misrepresented Wang Quan Jingxing and Wang Quan Wumu, and urged them to seek the truth from Fan Yunfei or the Third Young Master of Aolai Country.
• Ye Qingcang warned the group not to call him Jin Renfeng, and Dongfang Huaizhu denied having any relationship with him before choosing to protect him.
• Ximen Chuisha unleashed a gale at Ye Qingcang, but Ye Qingcang's protective shield blocked it.
• Ye Qingcang raised a stone pillar and fashioned it into an axe, then struck at Ximen Chuisha with a powerful qi slash that Chi Huo and Shi Tang helped him block.
• Wangquan Baye arrived with Li Qizhuo and Li Zizai, interrupting the fight.

Ximen Chuisha tried to turn Wangquan Baye and his companions against Ye Qingcang by distorting their earlier dispute. When Wangquan Baye demanded an answer and intervened to protect Ximen Chuisha, Ye Qingcang struck him down with a single slash.

• Ximen Chuisha accused Ye Qingcang of insulting Jin Renfeng and Wang Quan Jingxing, while Dongfang Huaizhu and the others reacted with disbelief at his twisted account.
• Li Qizhuo asked Ximen Chuisha for evidence, and Ximen Chuisha claimed that everyone present could testify.
• Wangquan Baye asked Ye Qingcang whether the accusations were true, but Ye Qingcang ignored him and sent a blade of light at Ximen Chuisha.
• Wangquan Baye deflected the attack with sword qi and insisted on protecting Ximen Chuisha, prompting Ye Qingcang to warn him to prepare to become his enemy.
• Wangquan Baye faced Ye Qingcang with his sword still sheathed, and Ye Qingcang sent him flying with one slash.

Ye Qingcang struck Wangquan Baye with a sword infused with Wangquan Sword Intent, leaving him stunned but uninjured.

• Ye Qingcang’s sudden sword strike sent Wangquan Baye flying and cut his clothes without injuring him.
• Wangquan Baye accepted that his underestimation of Ye Qingcang had caused the setback, then raised a golden sword light and charged back at him.
• Wangquan Baye demanded to know who Ye Qingcang was and why he knew the Wang Quan Family’s ultimate art.
• Ye Qingcang calmly claimed he had comprehended Wangquan Sword Intent on his own and warned that he would beat Wangquan Baye down if he interfered.

Ye Qingcang defended his claim that he had independently comprehended Wangquan Sword Intent, and Wangquan Baye removed his mask to ask him about it. As Ye Qingcang turned his attention to Ximen Chuisha, a strange fluctuation of demon power interrupted them.

• Li Qizhuo doubted that Ye Qingcang could have learned Wangquan Sword Intent on his own, but Ye Qingcang argued that its creator, Wang Quan Wumu, had also forged the art without a teacher.
• Li Qizhuo reconsidered and could not rule out that Ye Qingcang had independently comprehended the sword art, while the others remained puzzled by his claim.
• Wangquan Baye removed his mask, introduced himself, and asked Ye Qingcang to explain where his Wangquan Sword Intent came from; Ye Qingcang repeated that the choice to believe him was Baye’s.
• Ye Qingcang turned his attention to Ximen Chuisha, who prepared to defend himself rather than accept a beating.
• A peculiar fluctuation of demon power flashed and drew everyone’s attention.

Wangquan Baye, Ye Qingcang, and the others encountered spider demons attacking a border town near the Southern Kingdom. After the group discovered that their attacks were spreading poison toward ordinary residents, Dongfang Huaizhu stepped forward to purify the poisonous mist with her Pure Yang Flame.

• Shi Tang warned Ximen Chuisha that his gust of wind had spread poison toward nearby residents, and Chi Huo's attempt to burn the spider demons only released more poisonous mist.
• Dongfang Huaizhu raised her Pure Yang Flame to burn away and purify the spreading poisonous mist.
