Ch. 81Evolving the Undead World

Chapter Summary: Evolving the Undead World

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Immortal Herbs discuss Xiao Wu and Er Ming, judging them as ordinary despite their extraordinary rise in status after following Tang San. Xiao Wu, now the wife of a God King, and Er Ming, a Divine Official, have surpassed the herbs within only ten thousand years.
  • Xiao Wu observes that the surrounding Undead creatures treat the Undead Demiplane as their home rather than a prison. She instinctively feels that she and Er Ming do not belong among them and prevents Er Ming from approaching.
  • Under Huo Yuhao’s direction, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King return to their enormous dragon corpses. Their revived bodies enter the Undead Demiplane through a massive Undead Gate, carrying their Dragon Pills and springs of ice-blue and crimson water.
  • Their arrival transforms the wasteland. Their dragon bodies create enormous craters, while the springs and their powerful energy begin replacing the land’s death aura with vitality. The Undead creatures are driven back but are drawn toward the new life energy.
  • Huo Yuhao realizes that the Undead Demiplane is beginning to evolve toward a genuine world. The Fire Dragon King explains that a complete world would require a full range of elements and complete laws, meaning Huo Yuhao still has much to accomplish.
  • The Dragon Kings reveal that the light-attributed death aura can repair their divine souls and reactivate their corpses, though doing so consumes considerable energy. They give Huo Yuhao their Dragon Pills and prepare to rest.
  • The Dragon Kings then suggest that Huo Yuhao create another Martial Soul from his Golden Dragon Bloodline. A dragon-type Martial Soul would allow him to make better use of their powers and strengthen his body.
  • Huo Yuhao considers the possibility of cultivating a Golden Dragon Martial Soul and using Dragon Transformation. He imagines eventually becoming able to shift between human and dragon forms, potentially helping Qiu’er preserve some of the Star Dou Great Forest’s destiny.
  • His thoughts drift into a vision of a future family with Qiu’er, and he embarrassingly reminds himself that she is still young.

Character Developments

  • He begins to understand that the demiplane could become a true, self-sustaining world rather than merely a domain of death.
  • Huo Yuhao also considers expanding his own cultivation by developing a second, dragon-based Martial Soul from his Golden Dragon Bloodline.
  • The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King become more integrated into Huo Yuhao’s plans. They willingly surrender their Dragon Pills and corpses to aid the demiplane and offer him a way to maximize their strength.
  • The Fire Dragon King remains proud and indirect, while the Ice Dragon King is more practical and openly explains their request.
  • Xiao Wu becomes wary and perceptive, recognizing that the Undead creatures have a different relationship with the demiplane than she and Er Ming do.
  • Er Ming remains largely silent but shares Xiao Wu’s awe and fear before the overwhelming power of the ancient Dragon Kings.

Significant Themes

  • Transformation and evolution: The Undead Demiplane begins changing from a barren realm of death into a world containing vitality, elemental energy, and the potential for independent existence.
  • Balance between life and death: The coexistence of death aura and renewed life energy shows that the realm’s development depends on combining opposing forces rather than relying on only one.
  • Power and sacrifice: The Dragon Kings willingly give up their bodies and Dragon Pills, showing that great advancement requires personal sacrifice.
  • Identity and belonging: Xiao Wu and Er Ming question whether they belong in the Undead Demiplane, contrasting with the Undead creatures that regard it as home.
  • Legacy and destiny: Huo Yuhao considers using his Golden Dragon Bloodline and Qiu’er’s connection to the Star Dou Great Forest to preserve or redirect ancient destinies.

Ch. 82New Martial Soul: Golden Dragon

Chapter Summary: New Martial Soul: Golden Dragon

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Huo Yuhao and the dragon kings determine that creating a Golden Dragon Martial Soul is feasible, but the existing Golden Dragon bloodline is too weak to withstand direct assimilation. They decide to strengthen it first.
  • The Earth Dragon Golden Melon volunteers to serve as the first test of Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit Method, which the dragon kings want to witness before trusting it with their own souls.
  • Huo Yuhao uses the Necromantic Disaster Staff and a special formation to convert the Earth Dragon Golden Melon’s consciousness, Soul Power, and life essence into a Soul Spirit.
  • The Earth Dragon Golden Melon awakens inside Huo Yuhao’s spiritual world and successfully attaches himself as a blood-red Soul Ring. Huo Yuhao’s Soul Power rises to level twenty and reaches the threshold for further advancement.
  • The conversion causes a powerful dragon roar, which mysteriously reaches Gu Yuena deep beneath the Star Dou Great Forest. She senses a familiar presence but cannot identify its source.
  • Huo Yuhao instructs the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to continue cultivating rather than immediately provide more Soul Rings. He intends to use the melon later when forming the Golden Dragon Martial Soul’s seventh Soul Ring.
  • Having witnessed the successful conversion, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings agree to become Soul Spirits themselves. Huo Yuhao carefully limits the amount of power drawn from their corpses so their divine energy will not overwhelm or contaminate the developing Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
  • The two dragon kings are successfully transformed into Soul Spirits and take human forms: the Fire Dragon King becomes a tall, muscular man, while the Ice Dragon King becomes a powerful and elegant young woman.

Character Developments

  • Earth Dragon Golden Melon becomes the first successful experimental Soul Spirit in this process. He is enthusiastic about helping Huo Yuhao and eager to provide additional Soul Rings, though Huo Yuhao assigns him the longer-term task of strengthening his bloodline.
  • Ice and Fire Dragon Kings move from cautious observers to willing participants after seeing the method work safely. Their decision marks a major increase in their trust in Huo Yuhao.
  • Gu Yuena is alerted by the dragon roar, suggesting that Huo Yuhao’s Golden Dragon-related transformation may have consequences beyond the Undead Demiplane.

Significant Themes

  • Transformation and preservation: The ritual seeks to convert powerful beings into Soul Spirits without erasing their identities or destroying the unique qualities of their bloodlines.
  • Trust through proof: The dragon kings refuse to rely solely on theory and insist on seeing the Soul Spirit Method succeed before submitting themselves to it.
  • Control versus overwhelming power: Huo Yuhao must carefully regulate the dragons’ strength so that their divine energy supports, rather than corrupts, the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
  • Legacy and prevention of tragedy: Huo Yuhao refuses to use Qiu’er as a replacement for the Golden Dragon King, determined not to repeat the sacrifice and suffering of the past.
  • Suppressed emotion and duty: Huo Yuhao’s current emotional numbness makes him highly effective but also highlights the unsettling cost of the power he is using.

Character Interactions

  • The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is encouraged by Eight-Angle, whose prior experience reassures him before the ritual.
  • Huo Yuhao guides the Earth Dragon Golden Melon through the conversion and later reassures him that his assistance will be needed in the future.
  • The Fire and Ice Dragon Kings observe the experiment, then openly admit their hesitation and request conversion once they are convinced of its safety.

  • Xiao Wu: Her desperation and helplessness intensify. Under the influence of “joy,” she loses rational control, then collapses into despair once Huo Yuhao reasserts control over her.
  • Er Ming: His serious injuries leave him nearly powerless; the emotional influence causes him distress, though he cannot meaningfully resist.
  • Tian Meng: Though absent from the immediate action, he remains central to Huo Yuhao’s plans. Huo Yuhao is still determined to preserve Tian Meng’s consciousness rather than allow his energy to be completely consumed.
