Chapter Summaries

The Gods of two connected timelines gathered to negotiate their differences, and Poseidon Tang San accused Ye Qingcang of disrupting the mortal realm and raising Evil Spirit Masters. The Destruction God challenged Tang San’s argument by pointing out that Tang San had also interfered in mortal affairs when he fought Spirit Hall.

• The Gods recognized that the two realms’ timelines had begun to draw together and assembled representatives from both God Realms for negotiations.
• The Gods agreed to identify themselves as belonging to the realms from five thousand years ago or five thousand years later, using nameplates to distinguish mirrored Gods.
• The Douluo I Goodness God King opened the meeting and invited the Gods to raise requests, while the God Kings retained the authority to speak for their realms.
• Poseidon Tang San presented a Heaven Dou Empire newspaper and accused Ye Qingcang of influencing the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, raising Evil Spirit Masters, and interfering with the mortal realm.
• The Douluo II Destruction God objected that Ye Qingcang was a God Test Taker rather than a Deity and argued that Tang San himself should have been arrested for interfering in mortal affairs during his fight against Spirit Hall.

The gods debated Poseidon Tang San’s past crimes, and the Asura God moved to strip his future self of godhood. After Tang San defended his actions and insulted the Rakshasa God, the Asura God sided with Ye Qingcang and declared his godhood belonged to him.

• The Destruction God King argued that Poseidon had helped Tang San through divine descent and that Tang San’s supposed complete compatibility had been an illusion.
• The Asura God ordered the future Rakshasa God exiled and the future Poseidon Tang San confined, then proposed stripping the future Asura God Tang San of his godhood.
• Poseidon Tang San rejected the charges, claiming his dual godhood and killing of Rakshasa God Bibidong were justified, while the Rakshasa God and Angel God challenged his account.
• The Rakshasa God argued that Tang San had killed Bibidong after becoming a god and that his actions had fueled further wars; Tang San invoked his law-enforcement authority and defended Spirit Hall’s defeat.
• After Tang San accused the Rakshasa God of seeking revenge, the Asura God comforted her and declared that his godhood would belong to Ye Qingcang unless Ye Qingcang killed the Angel God and Rakshasa God.

The Asura God exposed Xiao Wu as a mere sword stand, then humiliated Poseidon Tang San when he demanded an apology. After the God Kings resumed their discussions, Ye Qingcang watched the sunrise and reflected on his own place in what came next.

• The Asura God told Xiao Wu she was only a sword stand, and she left in tears.
• Poseidon Tang San tried to stop Xiao Wu and demanded that the Asura God apologize, but the God Kings mocked him.
• The Asura God overwhelmed Tang San, kicked away his trident, and stepped on his face before the Goddess of Life intervened.
• The Asura God released Tang San but warned him to stay quiet, and Tang San returned to his seat and ate Oscar's healing sausage.
• Ye Qingcang watched the sun rise and said, "Other than me..."

Ye Qingcang brought Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Bai Chenxiang, and Ye Lingling to Blue Tyrant Academy and used a teleportation array to send them to Dou Two World. A heart-marked anomaly diverted him elsewhere, and he realized someone had imposed a Lifebound Contract on him.

• Violet woke Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang with Stellar Martial Arts after they fell asleep on the sofa, and she explained how deep sleep could quickly restore their energy.
• Violet brought Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang to Blue Tyrant Academy, where they met Ye Qingcang, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianxin.

Warrior Wang Yuanyuan battled Summoner Chen Yinger, whose unexpected summoning produced the Gate of Life. It revealed Ye Qingcang, Chen Yinger’s Lifebound Summoned Beast, and he intervened just as Wang Yuanyuan’s attack was about to land.

• Wang Yuanyuan opened the match with a high-speed charge, and she and Chen Yinger traded close-range attacks as Chen Yinger defended with her parasol.
• Chen Yinger began a summoning ritual, but her six-pointed star array transformed into the Gate of Life, astonishing the Temple leaders.
• Wang Yuanyuan activated her bloodline and prepared to face the powerful creature she expected to emerge from the gate.
• The Gate of Life produced Ye Qingcang, and Chen Yinger recognized him as her Lifebound Summoned Beast and begged Wang Yuanyuan to show mercy.
• Ye Qingcang raised stone pillars and a golden barrier, stopping Wang Yuanyuan’s attack and remarking on his unusual welcome.

Wang Yuanyuan’s powerful attacks failed to break Ye Qingcang’s golden barrier, while he approached Chen Ying'er and questioned whether she wanted to win or lose. He then separated himself from Chen Ying'er with stone pillars, leaving the arena in an awkward three-way standoff as the audience wondered what kind of Lifebound Summoned Beast he was.

• Wang Yuanyuan recognized Ye Qingcang as Chen Ying'er's humanoid Lifebound Summoned Beast and charged at him, but he dismissed her as an opponent and walked toward Chen Ying'er.

• Chen Ying'er tried to stomp on Ye Qingcang, but he dodged, and she sprained her foot on the arena floor.
• Ye Qingcang raised stone pillars to separate himself from Chen Ying'er, creating a three-way standoff that left the audience and the Six Great Temples' leaders dumbfounded.

Ye Qingcang explained Chen Yinger’s Chaos Spirit Body and contacted his companions in another world while Wang Yuanyuan continued attacking the barrier. After the match rules changed, he promised to defeat Wang Yuanyuan and dissolve his contract with Chen Yinger, then used his Killing Intent to stop a Soul Temple higher-up from leaving.

• Ye Qingcang explained that Chen Yinger’s Chaos Spirit Body had summoned him and that its abilities below the Seventh Order depended on luck.
• The Soul Temple higher-ups changed the match to a thirty-minute timed match, with the outcome depending on whether Wang Yuanyuan broke the barrier and defeated Chen Yinger.
• Ye Qingcang contacted Bai Chenxiang, Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianxin, told them to identify their location, and said he would reach them in about ten days.
• Ye Qingcang told Chen Yinger he would defeat Wang Yuanyuan and then dissolve their Lifebound Contract without visiting San Shui.
• Ye Qingcang pinned a Soul Temple higher-up back in his seat with a wave of blood-red pressure and Killing Intent.

Chen Yinger won her match against Wang Yuanyuan, but Ye Qingcang’s refusal to dissolve their Lifebound Contract brought him into conflict with the Six Great Temples. After he demonstrated overwhelming strength by defeating the Warrior Temple Hall Master and another Soul Temple higher-up, the arena fell silent under his control.

• The Soul Temple higher-up conceded Chen Yinger’s match, but she refused to leave with him and asked Ye Qingcang to help her defeat Wang Yuanyuan.
• Ye Qingcang swiftly seized Wang Yuanyuan by the throat, knocking her unconscious and securing Chen Yinger’s victory.
• When the Soul Temple higher-up threatened to contact Chen Yinger’s grandmother to prevent the contract’s dissolution, Chen Yinger admitted she wanted Ye Qingcang to meet her grandmother rather than clearly agree to dissolve it.
• Ye Qingcang warned everyone to leave within a minute, then overwhelmed Qiu Yonghao when the Warrior Temple Hall Master challenged him.
• Ye Qingcang planted a Soul Temple higher-up beneath his foot and asked whether anyone else still objected, leaving Chen Yinger and the audience too frightened to respond.

Ye Qingcang resolved the conflict at the Warrior Training Ground, returned Chen Ying'er’s blank soul contract, and urged the temple leaders to remain humble. He then left for the Assassin Temple, where a purple-haired girl sensed his aura.

• A blind purple-haired girl sensed Ye Qingcang's aura, stopped walking, and turned around in recognition.

Sheng Cai'er reunited with Ye Qingcang while temporarily blind, and the two discussed her duties, the Demon God Emperor, and their hopes of leaving together. Ye Qingcai agreed to trust her strength and stay by her side as she led him toward the Assassin Temple's Main Hall.

• Sheng Cai'er's four Shadow Guards followed her and were stunned when she covered Ye Qingcang's eyes and greeted him affectionately.

• Sheng Cai'er's Shadow Guards agreed to keep following her and leave her relationship with Ye Qingcang alone.

• Ye Qingcang recounted how Sheng Cai'er's parents had locked her in a dark cave for seven days when she was three, and described the prolonged unconsciousness and isolation that followed.

Ye Qingcang challenged Lan Yanyu and the Temple Alliance over sacrificing Sheng Cai'er as a child, arguing that the choice had destroyed their bond and made trust impossible.
