Chapter Summaries

Key plot points

• The Federation’s leaders discuss the emergence of the End Dragon, the sentient sun, and Lin Yan—forces they know almost nothing about. Yun Ming’s failure to recover from his injuries underscores how serious the threat may be.
• Chen Xin Jie proposes locating Lin Yan’s mother and sister, assuming they might reveal something about him or provide leverage. Zhuo Shi reports that the Holy Spirit Cult has already taken them.
• Leng Yaozhu privately recognizes that Lin Yan’s family may not be useful leverage: they left him in debt and poverty. She imagines he might even welcome their deaths.
• The leaders begin to suspect Lin Yan may be connected to the ancient Angel God and perhaps possess a secret related to godhood. Leng Yaozhu urges restraint: based on years of records, Lin Yan shows no dangerous tendencies. She advises against contacting, coercing, or testing him—especially by sending another Ultimate Douluo.
• At home, Lin Yan finds Gu Yuena cooking the leftover meat from their buffet. She is awkward and nearly falls into the wok, but keeps working while watching to see whether he will abandon or reject her.

Character developments and interactions

• Leng Yaozhu remains cautious and analytical, prioritizing evidence over the others’ growing fascination with Lin Yan. Her dry internal joke about his family reveals both her humor and her understanding of his strained relationships.
• Chen Xin Jie and Zhuo Shi clash over which organization is responsible for failing to stop the Holy Spirit Cult. Their argument reflects long-standing institutional rivalry.
• Yue Zhengen shifts his attention from the mysterious beings to Lin Yan himself, wondering whether he holds a path to divine power.
• Gu Yuena shows insecurity beneath her practical efforts. She believes that cooking, helping Lin Yan, and staying useful will make him keep her, and is relieved that he has not sent her away.

Significant themes

• Power versus uncertainty: The Federation’s usual methods offer little guidance against forces it barely understands.
• Control and restraint: The leaders consider using family as leverage, but Leng Yaozhu argues that provoking Lin Yan could be far more dangerous than leaving him alone.
• Family and loyalty: Lin Yan’s history complicates the assumption that relatives are reliable emotional ties.
• Belonging through usefulness: Gu Yuena tries to earn security by making herself indispensable, even at the risk of a kitchen mishap.

Key plot points and events

• Gu Yuena secretly reads online commentary about herself, though her worsening reputation has made her avoid the internet. The Federation’s tributes to the fallen Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi portray them as heroes and cast her as cruel, with some blaming her for the Abyssal invasion.
• Though she tells herself human insults do not matter, the comments hurt her—especially because Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi had attacked Lin Yan first. Unable to explain herself publicly, she reads the criticism alone and sometimes cries.
• The Holy Spirit Cult challenges the Federation’s praise of Cao Dezhi, questioning whether his sixty years guarding the north were really as arduous as the official story suggests.
• When commenters accuse the cult of letting the Abyssal army in, it openly claims responsibility for the invasion, provoking widespread outrage.
• The cult then posts covert recordings of Tang Sect leaders and other powerful figures in private settings, including footage of Cao Dezhi with two cat-eared women. The posts cast doubt on the heroic image surrounding him, while viewers argue over whether the videos are authentic or fabricated.

Character developments

• Gu Yuena appears more vulnerable than her proud, formidable image suggests. She feels unfairly blamed and becomes emotionally affected by public condemnation, but has no way to defend herself.
• The Holy Spirit Cult presents itself as provocative and unapologetic: it admits responsibility for the invasion and uses scandalous footage to attack the Federation’s public narrative.
• Cao Dezhi is shown through the contrast between his celebrated public image and alleged private behavior, though the authenticity and meaning of the footage remain disputed.

Significant themes

• Public image and truth: Official memorials and the cult’s videos offer competing versions of Cao Dezhi’s life, leaving the public to judge between them.
• Scapegoating and accountability: Gu Yuena is blamed for the crisis despite believing the invasion has nothing to do with her, while the cult claims responsibility without remorse.
• Online outrage and misinformation: Anonymous accusations, inflammatory posts, and suspicions of AI-generated footage show how quickly online discussion turns into abuse and speculation.
• Private lives versus heroic reputations: The leaked recordings challenge the expectation that revered figures must live up to idealized public portrayals.

Character interactions

• Gu Yuena’s unspoken attachment to Lin Yan shapes her sense of injustice: she remembers that the fallen Douluo had targeted him, yet public opinion treats her retaliation as unforgivable.
• The Holy Spirit Cult directly taunts its critics, turning accusations into a public confrontation rather than offering an explanation.
• Online commenters clash with the cult, defend Cao Dezhi, condemn the invasion, and then shift from outrage to gossip and speculation when the videos appear.

Key plot points and events

• The Holy Spirit Cult releases a statement challenging the Federation’s portrayal of Ultimate Douluo Cao Dezhi as a tireless, selfless guardian. It argues that even the most powerful people would seek comfort and privilege, and contrasts the Federation’s public moralizing with the benefits its leaders supposedly enjoy.
• The Cult publishes an internal Federation document outlining a cautious, accommodating approach to Lin Yan and the End Dragon: avoid coercion, meet their living needs, and provide financial and identity-related assistance.
• Although many readers distrust the Cult, the claims spark uncomfortable questions about the Federation’s unequal treatment of ordinary citizens and powerful figures. People also question the Federation’s recent idealized publicity about Cao Dezhi and the other deceased heroes.
• Public criticism shifts toward the Tang Sect. Netizens point out that its leaders’ reputation for virtue sits awkwardly beside its lucrative businesses—especially its arms trade and health milk tea—and revive questions about the legacy of its founder, Tang San.
• Debate intensifies between Tang Sect defenders and critics, but the discussion can no longer be dismissed as mere Holy Spirit Cult propaganda.

Character developments

• Lin Yan recognizes the Tang Sect’s health milk tea as personally significant: its cost contributed to his family’s bankruptcy and their inability to afford even the cheapest Soul Spirit. The online criticism feels like it is finally targeting something he knows to be wrong.
• Cao Dezhi and the other celebrated heroes are not shown directly, but their public image becomes more complicated. Readers begin questioning whether they were as wholly selfless as the Federation’s messaging suggests.
• The Federation and Tang Sect face growing scrutiny as institutions whose claims of virtue conflict, in the public’s eyes, with their privilege and commercial interests.

Significant themes

• Power and privilege: The chapter questions whether people at the top can realistically be expected to live without comfort or personal interest.
• Propaganda and public trust: The Federation’s exaggerated praise makes citizens more suspicious of what it has concealed.
• Unequal treatment: Ordinary people face burdensome scrutiny to receive assistance, while the End Dragon is offered support and accommodation because of her power.
• Hypocrisy and moral authority: The Tang Sect’s peace-loving image is challenged by its profits from selling weapons.
• Doubt beyond the source: Even when information comes from an untrustworthy source, it can raise questions that audiences find difficult to ignore.

Character interactions

• The Holy Spirit Cult addresses netizens directly, mocking the Federation’s conduct and using its own documents to provoke public doubt.
• Netizens argue over whether the Cult’s claims are credible, then turn their frustration toward the Federation and Tang Sect, with some defending them and others demanding answers.
• Lin Yan silently connects the public controversy to his own family’s hardship, deepening his personal resentment toward the Tang Sect’s business practices.

Key events

• The Holy Spirit Cult releases more videos and alleged dirt on the Tang Sect and Federation officials. The revelations intensify existing class tensions, and online debate erupts.
• Public attention shifts away from the End Dragon. Some people begin defending her, while others offer tips and jokingly volunteer to become her subordinates.
• Gu Yuena secretly likes and bookmarks a particularly anti–Tang Sect comment, pleased that the controversy has eased the hostility directed at her.
• She discovers that people are sending her money. Although she initially dismisses human currency, she quickly realizes how much meat it could buy.
• Her payment accounts unexpectedly pass identity checks and receive several official-sounding subsidies. Gu Yuena accepts the money, reasoning that it is free and useful.
• At dinner, Lin Yan notices the meat Gu Yuena has served and asks how old it is. The chapter ends before she answers.

Character developments and interactions

• Gu Yuena remains wary of the Holy Spirit Cult but appreciates how its actions have diverted public anger from her. Her growing familiarity with human life is played for comedy: she moves from disdaining money to calculating how many meals it can buy.
• Lin Yan stays calm and observant. He notices Gu Yuena’s reaction to the online discussion but does not challenge her, then turns his attention to the suspiciously old meat.
• Their dinner exchange ends on a teasing, ominous question, suggesting the meal—or Gu Yuena’s food habits—may be questionable.

Significant themes

• Public opinion and distraction: A new scandal can rapidly redirect outrage, regardless of whether the information is fully verified.
• Distrust of authority: Some commenters question whether officials can remain honest, even while condemning Evil Soul Masters.
• Pragmatism amid chaos: Gu Yuena treats political turmoil and unexpected government payments mainly in terms of their practical value.
• Comedy through contrast: The End Dragon’s fearsome reputation clashes with her interest in tips, subsidies, and pork belly.

Key events

• Lin Yan realizes that the meat Gu Yuena served had been stored in the Small World, where time passes far faster than in reality. Though it may have aged for decades, Gu Yuena insists her layered preservation—extreme cold, a spatial barrier, and a stable elemental environment—kept it perfectly fresh.
• Annoyed by Lin Yan’s doubts, Gu Yuena reminds him how much effort she put into cooking and tells him to eat. He tries the meat, then says it is too rich, jokes that it is “zombie meat,” and announces he is going out for rice noodles.
• Gu Yuena angrily scolds him for being picky, wasting money, and forgetting the hardships they once faced. Despite her irritation, she retrieves and prepares vegetables for him instead. Lin Yan eats the replacement dish.
• As they continue their meal, both feel a heavy, muffled thump transmitted through Lin Yan’s connection to the Small World. A second, clearer thump confirms that something inside the world is causing it.

Character developments and interactions

• Gu Yuena is fiercely protective and nurturing, expressing affection through cooking and practical care. Her complaints reveal pride in her work and anxiety about Lin Yan’s health and finances. Though she is furious, she still makes him something he will eat.
• Lin Yan is playful and blunt, using jokes to avoid the disputed meal, but ultimately backs down from arguing and accepts Gu Yuena’s substitute dish. He reflects that she has shifted from scheming to reclaim her former power toward managing food and household expenses.
• Their bickering is familiar and intimate: Gu Yuena scolds him like a child, while Lin Yan teases her, but their care for one another remains clear. Their shared reaction to the thumps shifts the scene from domestic comedy to a new mystery.

Significant themes

• Care expressed through everyday labor: Gu Yuena’s cooking and food preservation show devotion, even when she is angry.
• Changing priorities and domesticity: Gu Yuena’s former ambition to regain power has given way to ordinary concerns like meals and budgeting.
• Time and consequence: The Small World’s accelerated time turns an ordinary plate of food into a question of age and preservation.
• A looming mystery: The unexplained thumps suggest a significant disturbance or event within the Small World.

Key plot points and events

• A mysterious young woman outside Lin Yan’s Small World slaps its spatial barrier, apparently out of innocent curiosity rather than hostility.
• Each slap sends violent tremors through the world: mountains crack, oceans surge, and celestial bodies shift. Lin Yan and Gu Yuena watch from outside, alarmed.
• Gu Yuena fears the woman may break through and curses the Golden Dragon King’s other half for failing to control the situation. When the woman looks in their direction, Gu Yuena falls silent and edges closer to Lin Yan, hoping the woman did not hear her.
• Inside the Small World, underground refuges collapse. Creatures and people flee to the surface, where they see the immense, radiant figure beyond the stars: a beautiful being with twelve wings and an expression of childlike confusion. Feeling trapped, she continues slapping at the barrier.

Character developments

• Lin Yan is visibly shaken by the danger, even snapping his chopsticks as he watches the Small World suffer.
• Gu Yuena shifts from bossy irritation to genuine fear. Her bluster gives way to cautious embarrassment when she thinks the woman may have noticed her.
• The young woman is introduced as overwhelmingly powerful but apparently unaware of the harm she is causing; she seems newly awakened, curious, and uncomfortable in her confined surroundings.
• The inhabitants of the Small World respond with panic, forced to abandon their shelters and confront a being beyond their understanding.

Significant themes

• Power and scale: What feels like a gentle tap to the young woman is a catastrophic blow to an entire world.
• Innocence with unintended consequences: The woman’s lack of malice does not lessen the danger she poses.
• Fear of the unknown: The inhabitants’ myths cannot prepare them for seeing such a being firsthand.
• Fragility and confinement: The Small World is a vulnerable, cage-like space to its inhabitants’ apparent intruder.

Character interactions

• Lin Yan and Gu Yuena silently share the shock of witnessing the barrier’s collapse-level strain.
• Gu Yuena vents at the Golden Dragon King’s other half, then quickly retreats into cautious politeness after the woman looks toward them.
• The young woman makes no direct contact with anyone; her repeated attempts to reach beyond the barrier provoke a world-wide crisis.

Plot points and events

• Qian Yuhan repeatedly strikes the Small World’s invisible barrier, causing devastation inside. Her blows gradually reveal the barrier as a glasslike outline around the world.
• As she prepares another strike, time stops throughout the Small World: winds, waves, animals, and falling objects freeze. The world loses all color, leaving only black and white.
• The inhabitants recognize the sign of the True Creator’s awakening. They fear that the Creator’s return will merge the eras and destroy everyone.
• Convinced Qian Yuhan’s attacks have triggered the awakening, humans and Soul Beasts alike plead with her to stop. She pauses and looks beyond the world.
• A figure approaches through Chaos and countless layers of time and dimensions. Beside this being, even the immense Angel God seems insignificant.
• Looking at the figure overwhelms Qian Yuhan. Her recently restored consciousness is shaken by terror, unexpected warmth, and fragments of memories from the earlier eras.

Character developments

• Qian Yuhan shifts from childlike determination to alarm and confusion. The encounter awakens buried memories of Eternal Night, war, and her role as the Angel God, though she does not yet understand her contradictory feelings.
• The Small World’s inhabitants are revealed as shaped by inherited, generational fear of the Creator and the repeated end of previous eras.

Significant themes

• Inherited trauma: Fear persists across generations, embedded in memories, myths, bloodlines, and the World Origin.
• Power and perspective: Qian Yuhan appears godlike to the Small World, yet is insignificant beside the approaching Creator.
• Faith turned upside down: Instead of praying for their god to save them, the people beg the Angel God not to awaken another god.
• Memory and identity: Qian Yuhan’s encounter begins reconnecting her newly formed self with her former life and burden.

Character interactions

• The inhabitants collectively confront Qian Yuhan with desperate pleas, making her recognize that her actions have endangered them.
• The approaching Creator does not attack or speak; its mere presence freezes the world and triggers fear.
• Qian Yuhan’s confrontation with the figure is internal: fear and warmth surface together as fragments of her past return.

Key plot points and events

• Qian Yuhan experiences fragmented memories of a past version of herself, the Angel God, enduring a world of eternal night, famine, war, and death.
• Believing she must remain a source of hope, the Angel God repeatedly enters the Life Forbidden Zone alone to fight Soul Beasts. She returns grievously wounded, only to face more refugees and crises without time to recover.
• The memories show her final struggle against the Golden Dragon King. Their opposing powers and wills consume each other over many years until their identities begin to blur.
• Qian Yuhan then witnesses the Creator God as he truly appeared: an ordinary-looking boy, not the grand divine figure described in later myths. Despite his appearance, he can halt time and nature, erase creatures from existence, and begin unmaking the entire world with a thought.

Character developments

• Qian Yuhan feels an unsettling, deeply personal connection to the Angel God’s suffering, despite not consciously remembering that life. She recognizes the woman as a former or alternate self and is struck by how lonely and exhausted she must have been.
• Her view of the Creator God shifts from inherited myth to direct, terrifying evidence of his power.

Significant themes

• The burden of faith: People’s belief in their god gives them hope but also leaves her responsible for every crisis.
• Isolation and concealed vulnerability: The Angel God cannot show fear or despair without risking the collapse of those who depend on her.
• Memory and identity: Qian Yuhan’s present self feels separate from the Angel God, yet experiences her pain as something deeply her own.
• Power beyond conventional destruction: The Creator God’s abilities resemble rewriting reality rather than simply defeating or destroying it.

Character interactions

• The Angel God’s relationship with the refugees and worshippers is defined by their reliance on her: they kneel and look to her for hope, while she hides her own uncertainty.
• In the past, the Angel God and Golden Dragon King are locked in a prolonged, mutually consuming conflict.
• Qian Yuhan responds to the remembered Creator God with growing shock and fear, ending on a trembling attempt to process what she has seen.

Plot points and events

• Qian Yuhan recognizes Lin Yan as the terrifying Creator God from fragments of ancient memories. Remembering the world and an entire era nearly being erased, she panics and flees into the sun.
• She burrows deep inside, still afraid that Lin Yan might awaken or destroy the sun. Her fear activates the Six-Winged Angel’s dormant power, whose golden wings fold around her protectively.
• The golden dragon’s lingering will also stirs and coils around the wings. Sheltered by both, Qian Yuhan finally peeks out through a gap in the feathers.
• Gu Yuena watches, confused by Qian Yuhan’s reaction, and asks Lin Yan what he has done to frighten her. Lin Yan admits that he has destroyed the world several times, describing it as part of a natural cycle of life and renewal.

Character developments

• Qian Yuhan is overwhelmed by her ancient memories. Though she may once have stood beside the Creator God, her newly formed consciousness cannot reconcile that past with its present terror.
• Lin Yan remains calm and emotionally detached, regarding repeated world-destruction as routine rather than a moral catastrophe.
• Gu Yuena shifts from suspicion to stunned disbelief as she realizes how casually Lin Yan treats the destruction of worlds.

Character interactions

• Qian Yuhan’s fear of Lin Yan prompts the Six-Winged Angel’s and golden dragon’s protective instincts.
• Gu Yuena climbs onto Lin Yan’s shoulder and interrogates him, unconvinced when he initially says he did “nothing much.”
• Lin Yan’s explanation leaves Gu Yuena speechless: she understands his words, but finds the outlook behind them deeply unsettling.

Significant themes

• Memory and identity: Qian Yuhan’s ancient memories clash with her vulnerable new consciousness.
• Protection and vulnerability: Her immense power does not prevent her from needing shelter and reassurance.
• Scale and morality: Lin Yan’s creator-like perspective treats civilizations as temporary stages in a cycle, while Gu Yuena’s reaction reflects a more human sense of the value of life.

Plot and events

• A newly awakened consciousness emerges within the sun, cautiously checking that the terrifying figure beyond Chaos—and the World Membrane—are gone.
• Memories left by the Angel God, Qian Yuhan, and the Destruction Dragon flood her mind. They reveal conflicting legacies: repeatedly sacrificing herself to save humanity, and a furious desire to kill the gods and defy fate.
• Through the sun’s bond with living beings, she hears people praying for contradictory things: for the sun to keep shining, to withdraw, or simply not to awaken the Creator God.
• She recognizes memories of the End Dragon’s past destruction and learns that Qian Yuhan once fought the dragon and even threatened the Creator God. Overwhelmed, she hides inside the sun.
• Determined not to inherit the blame or identity of either predecessor, she renames herself Qian Xi, meaning the light of the newly risen sun, and hopes the End Dragon and Creator God will not hold her responsible for what they did.

Character development

• Qian Xi begins frightened and confused, burdened by memories and fears she did not choose.
• Her instinct is to retreat from danger, but she also shows a playful, self-protective ingenuity: changing her name becomes her way of asserting a fresh identity.
• She distinguishes herself emotionally from both Qian Yuhan and the Destruction Dragon, insisting that their actions were not hers.

Character interactions

• Qian Xi is indirectly connected to humanity through the sun, hearing worshippers’ pleas and anxieties without responding to them.
• Her imagined appeal to Gu Yuena—and to the absent End Dragon and Creator God—shows how deeply she fears being judged for her predecessors’ actions.

Themes

• Inherited identity and responsibility: Qian Xi struggles with whether she must answer for the memories and deeds embedded in her.
• The burden of history: Her birth immediately exposes her to past catastrophes and the world’s fear of another divine awakening.
• Conflicting needs and uncertainty: Humanity’s prayers pull in opposite directions, leaving the new sun unsure whether to shine or retreat.
• Comic self-preservation: Qian Xi’s sincere belief that a new name will solve an ancient cosmic problem adds humor to the chapter’s apocalyptic stakes.

Plot points and events

• Lin Yan and Gu Yuena observe the Small World for nearly a century to see whether Qian Xi is a threat. Though she was formed from several powerful and confusing sources, Qian Xi behaves like an innocent, independent child, quietly watching the world and listening to its prayers and complaints.
• Gu Yuena worries that the Small World—and the Star Dou Forest within it—may no longer be safe. She asks Lin Yan to bring Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts outside as well. He refuses, pointing out the practical problems of housing and supporting them.
• Their argument turns into familiar comic bickering: Lin Yan flicks Gu Yuena’s forehead, she protests and boasts about the chores she has done for him, then retreats behind her claws when he raises his hand again.
• In the Far North, Yun Ming returns to the battlefield after recovering from the Angel God’s mental assault. Shrek, the Federation military, and the Spirit Pagoda help push the Abyss’s forces back, giving humanity a fragile reason to hope.
• Online spectators celebrate the apparent turnaround, despite the mounting casualties that remain visible to those fighting. Some soon grow overconfident and threaten Gu Yuena and the Soul Beasts. She angrily blocks, mutes, and reports them.

Character developments

• Qian Xi appears to be a distinct, self-controlled person rather than a vessel for Qian Yuhan’s return or the Destruction Dragon’s resurrection, though her origins remain unsettling.
• Gu Yuena is protective of her trapped subordinates and increasingly wary of the danger inside the Small World. Her anxiety and resentment are expressed through comic bravado and petty retaliation.
• Lin Yan remains pragmatic and unsentimental about taking on more responsibility, while maintaining a teasing, sometimes physically mischievous dynamic with Gu Yuena.
• Yun Ming regains his resolve and becomes a symbol of renewed confidence for the human forces.

Significant themes

• Uncertain origins and identity: Qian Xi’s strange creation does not determine who she becomes; her conduct suggests an independent self.
• Hope versus reality: The battlefield’s limited gains inspire civilians, but the growing death toll shows how far the war is from being won.
• Overconfidence and hostility: Public celebrations quickly turn into renewed threats against Soul Beasts, revealing how shallow and volatile humanity’s confidence can be.
• Responsibility and dependence: Gu Yuena wants to protect her people, while Lin Yan emphasizes the real costs of bringing them into his care.

Character interactions

• Lin Yan and Gu Yuena argue over whether to rescue Di Tian and the others, mixing genuine concern with teasing, scolding, and comic threats.
• Qian Xi’s relationship to the world is indirect: she watches its inhabitants and listens to their prayers without intervening.
• Yun Ming’s return strengthens the soldiers’ morale, while the livestream lets distant civilians celebrate a success whose true cost they cannot fully see.
• Gu Yuena responds to online threats not with confrontation but with a furious barrage of platform tools.

Gu Yuena worried about the Federation arresting her, but Lin Yan warned that humanity would lose if the Douluo Plane stopped suppressing the Abyss. A sudden wartime alert revealed the Abyss tearing open the sky above the Far North and pouring deadly energy onto the continent.

• Gu Yuena asked Lin Yan to save her if the Federation came after her, and he joked that they would be arrested together.
• Lin Yan told Gu Yuena the Abyss was not weak and that humanity would lose if the Douluo Plane stopped suppressing it.
• Gu Yuena wondered whether Lin Yan could foresee the future, but he teased her instead of answering.
• Lin Yan's communicator sounded a highest-level emergency warning and displayed footage from the Extreme Northern Abyss battlefield.
• After humanity had pushed the Abyssal front north and celebrated, a vast fissure tore open the sky above the Far North.
• Purple-black Abyssal energy poured through the fissure, rotting frozen ground, withering plants, and draining the life from nearby animals.

A terrifying Abyssal figure emerged and killed an Ultimate Douluo with overwhelming spiritual power, turning the battlefield’s apparent victory into a crisis. As the Abyssal army began to descend, Gu Yuena suspected Lin Yan had somehow chosen the Abyss as a protagonist to destroy civilization.

• Federation alarms sounded as spatial fluctuations rose again, and an unknown high-level Abyssal figure emerged from the rift.
• An Abyssal Spirit Dragon appeared and unleashed spiritual pressure that incapacitated soldiers and disrupted detection equipment.
• An Ultimate Douluo charged the Abyssal figure, who froze him with a glance, crushed his throat, and devoured his life energy.
• Gu Yuena questioned Lin Yan about his prediction that humanity would lose and jokingly accused him of making the Abyss his new protagonist.
• More spatial fluctuations appeared after the Ultimate Douluo’s death, and the Abyss’s true army began to descend.

Lin Yan and Gu Yuena watched the Abyssal invasion overwhelm the Federation, while the livestream brought Lin Yan face-to-face with the fear and loss of war. Gu Yuena suspected the Douluo Plane’s vanished suppression might be connected to Lin Yan or the sun in his Small World, as desperate humans begged the End Dragon for help.

• Lin Yan watched the battlefield livestream and imagined that his father might have died amid the same terror and chaos.
• The Federation sent its strongest fighters and God-Slaying Soul Cannons to the front, but the Abyssal leader’s spiritual power left ordinary troops exposed and the defense collapsed.
• Abyssal creatures broke through into northern cities, ending humanity’s belief that the invasion would remain a border war.
• Gu Yuena noticed the near-God-Rank Abyssal leader showed no sign of being suppressed by the Douluo Plane, and she and Lin Yan wondered whether the sun in his Small World or his other half was responsible.
• Online commenters who had insulted Gu Yuena begged the End Dragon to save humanity, prompting her to angrily call humans rotten.

The Abyssal Sage King’s projection arrived as humanity’s exhausted forces faced the invasion, revealing a power beyond anything they could resist. Yun Ming and Chen Xin Jie charged to stop the descent but were immediately knocked from the sky, leaving the array undisturbed.

• The Holy Spirit Cult fell silent as the Abyss threatened to consume humans and Evil Soul Masters alike, while the Federation’s defenders fought to buy time.
• The Spirit Emperor revealed that the Abyss had 108 layers ruled by Emperors and that its supreme ruler, the Abyssal Sage King, was a lifeform beyond God Rank.
• Abyssal forces formed a Spatial Array, bowed, and welcomed the Sage King’s projection as the Far North darkened.
• Lin Yan sat up and Gu Yuena raised her head when the projection appeared, while Yun Ming ordered the defenders to stop the descent.
• Chen Xin Jie and Yun Ming charged the array despite Long Yeyue’s pleas, but the projection’s glance hurled them both from the sky.

The Abyssal Sage King's spiritual pressure crushed Yun Ming and Chen Xin Jie while his power began draining energy and life across the Douluo Plane. In Eastsea City, Lin Yan sensed the world's energy shifting and watched the Far North livestream as the broadcast flickered out.

• The Abyssal Sage King's glance forced Yun Ming to his knees and drove Chen Xin Jie into the ice, leaving both Ultimate Douluos unable to approach the formation.
• Yun Ming tried to burn his life essence and rise, but stronger spiritual pressure crushed him back into the ice and revealed the gulf between their levels of existence.
• Darkness spread from the Abyssal Passage across the Far North, the sun vanished, and the wind and snow stopped as the Abyssal Sage King drew in ambient energy.
• The Abyssal Sage King's influence spread across the Douluo Plane, twisting the flow of ambient energy and life toward the Far North.
• In Eastsea City, Lin Yan sensed the disturbance as residents struggled to breathe, Martial Souls wilted, and Soul Guidance Lamps flickered.
• Lin Yan opened the Far North livestream and saw a dark, interference-ridden battlefield where Yun Ming and Chen Xin Jie lay among the wreckage.

As the Federation’s strongest fighters lay dead or wounded, Gu Yuena panicked and tried to flee Douluo Star with Lin Yan and the Soul Beasts. She had no way to leave the planet, so they remained stuck as Lin Yan reflected on how impossibly early the final threat had appeared.

• Lin Yan realized that fewer than half of the Federation’s Ultimate Douluo and Quasi-God-level fighters could still fight, and even Yun Ming and Chen Xin Jie had fallen to the enemy’s projection.
• Gu Yuena hurriedly packed supplies and dragged Lin Yan toward the door, insisting they flee Douluo Star before the enemy’s true body arrived.
• Gu Yuena remembered the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest and worried about bringing Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the others along.
• Gu Yuena proposed using Qian Xi as an engine, but Lin Yan pointed out that they had neither a spaceship nor the strength to escape on their own.
• Lin Yan stayed behind and lamented that the final enemy had appeared while he was still around level ten and had barely begun his journey.

As the Abyssal invasion spread across Douluo Star, terrified people begged the End Dragon to save them, but Gu Yuena was too weakened to fight and Qian Yuhan was too frightened to help. In Eastsea City, Tang Wulin confronted Tang San’s remnant consciousness as the Abyssal Sage King drained the city’s energy, leaving Tang San to wonder whether Tang Hao’s plans had also gone wrong.

• People who had feared the End Dragon began pleading for Gu Yuena to fight the Abyss and save the world.
• As devouring vortices spread across the continent and reached Eastsea City, Gu Yuena asked Lin Yan whether he could release the Scruffy Bird, but Qian Yuhan was too frightened to fight.
• Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline surged, but the vortex overhead began draining its power, so he pulled it back under control.
• Tang Wulin entered his spiritual world and demanded that Tang San act before the world ended.
• Tang San explained that he was only a remnant consciousness and realized that the Abyssal invasion had unfolded far earlier than his plans predicted.
• Tang San wondered whether the strange sun, the era projections, and the changes in fate had also disrupted Tang Hao’s plans.

Tang Wulin struggled with his helplessness as the Abyss drained Eastsea City, until the End Dragon's silver projection broke the devouring force and gave the city hope. Gu Yue refused Di Tian's offer to intervene and went to find Tang Wulin herself.

• Tang Wulin rejected Tang San's warning that he was too weak to help and struck a wall in frustration while the academy evacuated its students.
• Xie Xie pulled Tang Wulin toward safety, claiming his powerful new boss might save them.
• The End Dragon's silver projection unleashed the seven elements, tore through the black vortex above Eastsea City, and stopped the city's vitality from being drawn away.
• Eastsea City's people recognized the End Dragon and celebrated her as their protector, while Di Tian watched her intervention with conflicted feelings.
• Gu Yue refused Di Tian's offer to take Tang Wulin and the young liege away, then located Tang Wulin and headed toward him.

As the Abyssal Sage King's power drained life across the Douluo Plane, Tang Wulin believed the Angel God could still answer humanity and held up the Angel Sacred Sword as proof of hope. Gu Yue sensed divine power in the tiny sword, but Tang Wulin's livestream left the desperate viewers facing an absurdly small relic and his appeal to faith.

• The Abyssal Sage King's power spread across the Douluo Plane, draining people's life force and spreading fear and despair.
• After seeing the End Dragon's phantom, Tang Wulin reasoned that the Angel God might also return and declared that hope remained.
• Tang Wulin identified the tiny sword as the Angel Sacred Sword and recalled how it had symbolized hope during the Eternal Night Era.
• Xie Xie pointed out that the sword was only toothpick-sized, while Tang Wulin decided its small form did not disprove its divine connection.
• Gu Yue sensed that the sword contained faint but lofty divine power, though Xie Xie joked that she had gone stupid too.
• Tang Wulin started a livestream and urged viewers to believe in hope, miracles, and the Angel God, while viewers saw him holding up the tiny sword.
