Chapter Summaries

Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian were overwhelmed by two black-robed assassins, while Huo Yuhao was pinned down and unable to use his full strength. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi rushed to respond, and a blazing figure appeared in the sky, heading toward the battlefield.

• Ning Tian boosted Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng as they unleashed their soul skills against the Thunderclap Tiger Soul King and the wounded Shadowcat Soul Emperor.
• The assassins crushed the girls’ attacks, but Huo Yuhao’s Spatial Barrier absorbed most of the lethal damage before shattering and leaving them badly hurt.
• Huo Yuhao sensed the barrier break but remained trapped by two assassins while his Soul Power was changing and he could not use his second martial soul.
• Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi sensed the battle, and Bei Bei sent Xu Sanshi to alert the city guard while he rushed toward the forest path.
• Bei Bei saw a blazing figure streak across the night sky toward the battlefield.

The black-robed assassins captured Wang Dong and Ning Tian to force Huo Yuhao to surrender, but he stalled while completing his transformation to Extreme Water. With help from a Shrek Inner Court Soul Emperor's Phoenix Meteor Shower, Huo Yuhao rescued the hostages and the four assassins were caught in the blast.

• The wounded six-ringed Soul Emperor and Thunderclap Tiger Soul King seized Wang Dong and Ning Tian, then threatened Huo Yuhao with their lives.
• Huo Yuhao refused to surrender and taunted the assassins while secretly finishing his conversion from Extreme Ice to Extreme Water.
• A Shrek Inner Court Soul Emperor launched Phoenix Meteor Shower, prompting the four assassins to try to flee in different directions.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Link to scramble the assassins' perceptions, severed the arms holding Wang Dong and Ning Tian, and pulled the two girls into his protection.
• Huo Yuhao activated his Titan Divine Blood Martial Soul and shielded Wang Dong and Ning Tian as the Phoenix Meteor Shower engulfed the four assassins.

After Ma Xiaotao rescued the wounded students from the assassins, Huo Yuhao pretended to faint and remained unconscious while studying the conversion between Extreme Ice and Extreme Water in his Sea of Spirit. The Heavenly Creation Cauldron then stirred, signaling that the thing inside it had finished being nurtured.

• Ma Xiaotao found Huo Yuhao shielding Wang Dong and Ning Tian in the crater, and he feigned unconsciousness in her arms.
• Bei Bei and Zhuang Lao arrived, secured the scene, and ordered an investigation and a lockdown of Shrek City’s gates.
• The academy treated the five injured students, and the four besides Huo Yuhao gradually regained consciousness over the next two days.
• Wang Dong suspected Huo Yuhao was pretending to sleep, while Ma Xiaotao said they could only wait for him to wake on his own.
• Huo Yuhao stayed conscious in the Sea of Spirit, using the battle to study the conversion from Extreme Ice to Extreme Water.
• The Heavenly Creation Cauldron trembled, and Huo Yuhao realized the thing inside it had finished being nurtured.

Huo Yuhao confirmed that Electrolux's Divine Sense had fully recovered and prepared to use the Heavenly Creation Cauldron's freed Creation function. He visited his preserved mother and the sleeping Firmament-Shaking Sacred Dragon before bringing Electrolux back to his Sea of Spirit, where Electrolux awakened.

• Huo Yuhao confirmed that Electrolux's Divine Sense had recovered and learned that he could use the Heavenly Creation Cauldron's Creation function again.
• Huo Yuhao entered the cauldron's inner world and inspected the three-hundred-thousand-year-old Firmament-Shaking Sacred Dragon, planning to fuse its bloodline once he reached Soul Power Level forty.
• Huo Yuhao visited Huo Yun'er, preserved her soul, and promised to revive her after he became a god, while deciding her future would not be hers to choose.
• Huo Yuhao sensed Electrolux's restored Divine Sense, brought him out of the cauldron, and watched him awaken in the Sea of Spirit.

Electrolux fully awakened in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Spirit and learned about the Douluo Continent and the God-Making Plan. Impressed by Huo Yuhao’s power and the Soul Beasts supporting him, Electrolux agreed to join the plan.

• Electrolux recovered his memories and introduced himself to Huo Yuhao as the Holy Necromancer and Undead Calamity.
• Huo Yuhao explained the martial souls, Soul Power, Soul Beasts, and the possibility of ascending to godhood in this world.

• Electrolux sensed Huo Yuhao’s extraordinary spiritual power, physical strength, Extreme Ice, and Extreme Water.
• Huo Yuhao invited Electrolux to join the plan, and Electrolux agreed.

Huo Yuhao tested a Soul Power model for transforming matter, but Electrolux revealed that its idealized assumptions made it fail in reality. Electrolux then demonstrated how changing conditions could reverse the Five Elements’ cycle, leaving Huo Yuhao with a deeper understanding of conditional truths.

• Huo Yuhao simulated Extreme Ice transforming an ordinary stone into Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow and considered the model complete.
• Electrolux destroyed the simulation and told Huo Yuhao that the theoretical deduction could not work in reality.
• Electrolux added matter’s resistance, energy losses, and environmental effects to the model, causing the stone to break into ice and snow.
• Huo Yuhao recognized that real transformations could not be perfectly efficient and quickly revised his understanding of Soul Power assimilation.
• Electrolux demonstrated a Five-Elements generation cycle, then changed its variables until it became destructive mutual restraint.
• Huo Yuhao realized that truths held only under sufficient conditions and that conclusions were relative.

After waking from a week-long coma, Huo Yuhao learned Dai Huabin had arranged the attack and decided his fate at Shrek Academy. The Snow Empress’s possible survival of her million-year heavenly tribulation was left uncertain after a terrifying force erupted in the Far North.

• Huo Yuhao woke in Shrek's infirmary, where Ma Xiaotao apologized for injuring him and Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng came to see him.
• Ning Tian told Huo Yuhao that Dai Huabin had used a family token to hire the assassins and was being held at Shrek Academy.
• Huo Yuhao went to see Dai Huabin in detention and chose his punishment.
• Shrek Academy permanently expelled Dai Huabin and sent him back to the Star Luo Empire.
• A divine force erupted in the Far North, and Huo Yuhao wondered whether the Snow Empress had survived her million-year heavenly tribulation.

Ju Zi waited in the Far North for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, but a terrifying upheaval drew her attention. The Snow Empress survived her million-year tribulation and began forming her own law, only for an unexplained blow to shatter her progress and reduce her cultivation to nine hundred and ninety thousand years.

• Ju Zi waited on the outskirts of the Far North for the Soul Beast Embryo, then felt a powerful heavenly force erupt from its depths.
• The Snow Empress used Nine-Turn Profound Ice Pills to recover from her first failed ascension and later endured a second million-year heavenly tribulation.
• The Snow Empress became a complete Million-Year Soul Beast and expanded Emperor's Cold Heaven across a hundred thousand meters.
• The Snow Empress compressed her domain into her palm and began transforming its power into the Cold Heaven Law.
• An unexplained force shattered the forming law, damaged the Snow Empress's origin, and dropped her cultivation back to nine hundred and ninety thousand years.

After her attempt to become a god was struck down, Snow Empress learned from the Ice God that the world’s laws barred soul beasts from godhood. He offered her another path: abandon her soul beast body and reincarnate as a human to inherit his Godhood.

• Snow Empress’s attempt to cross into godhood was shattered, reducing her cultivation and driving her into a storm of grief and rage.
• Snow Empress remembered Huo Yuhao’s claim that soul beasts could not become gods and wondered if he had been right.
• The Ice God appeared and explained that changed rules and the God Realm’s supreme will prevented soul beasts from becoming gods.
• Snow Empress asked herself whether she could inherit the Ice God’s Godhood, but he warned that the God Realm Center would destroy her if she tried.
• The Ice God told Snow Empress she could abandon her soul beast body, cultivate anew as a human, and inherit his Godhood after reaching the pinnacle.

Dugu Ling survived a heavenly tribulation and the Snow Empress’s destructive outburst in the Far North Core Circle, then tried to escape without attracting attention. He stopped when he encountered a mysterious white-haired girl whose beauty reminded him of Huo Yuhao.

• Dugu Ling hid beneath the snow when a terrifying heavenly tribulation erupted in the Far North Core Circle.
• An immense domain of extreme cold nearly froze Dugu Ling to death before it abruptly vanished.
• The Snow Empress roared in despair and unleashed a storm that collapsed snow mountains, so Dugu Ling hid for hours.
• Dugu Ling emerged after the storm and set off toward the outskirts, abandoning his search for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
• Dugu Ling rounded an icy rock and found a white-haired girl standing in the snow, whose appearance reminded him of Huo Yuhao.

Ju Zi questioned Dugu Ling about the mysterious white-haired girl he had brought back from the Far North, and learned she was a fourteen-year-old Soul Ancestor. After Dugu Ling hurried off to visit his stabilized grandson, Ju Zi reflected on how she had treated Dugu Yu’s allergy to Soul Power and turned her attention back to the girl.

• Ju Zi asked Dugu Ling about the white-haired girl, but he admitted he knew neither her name nor her identity.
• Dugu Ling claimed he had rescued the girl because she was a human with exceptional talent, a fourteen-year-old Soul Ancestor.
• Ju Zi accepted his explanation and told him that Dugu Yu’s condition had stabilized, prompting Dugu Ling to leave eagerly to see his grandson.
• Ju Zi recalled that Dugu Yu was allergic to Soul Power and that she had stabilized him with a physical treatment plan using Soul Tools and medical knowledge.
• Ju Zi gathered herself and looked again at the white-haired girl.

Ju Zi questioned the mysterious white-haired girl and discovered she was Bing Hanxue, a fourteen-year-old Soul Ancestor with an exceptionally powerful Extreme Ice attribute. Suspecting Bing Hanxue had a divine or otherwise extraordinary origin, Ju Zi invited her to join the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and Bing Hanxue accepted.

• After Dugu Ling left, Ju Zi tried to question the silent white-haired girl and noticed her react to Huo Yuhao's name.
• Ju Zi introduced herself as Huo Yuhao's fiancée, prompting Bing Hanxue to release an oppressive cold aura and scrutinize her.
• Bing Hanxue identified herself, revealed her Snow Woman martial soul and four Soul Rings, and stated that she was a level forty-three Soul Ancestor.
• Ju Zi speculated that Bing Hanxue might be a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or possess a god's inheritance, and decided to win her over.
• Ju Zi invited Bing Hanxue to join the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and Bing Hanxue agreed.

Ju Zi brought Bing Hanxue to Minghuang Academy and entrusted her to Ye Guyi for enrollment. After leaving them there, Ju Zi flew toward the Sun Moon Empire’s border, where the Divine Machine Hall awaited her.

• Bing Hanxue explored Mingkun Commandery City with Ju Zi and learned that humans considered her beautiful.
• Ju Zi brought Bing Hanxue to Minghuang Academy, which she had secretly established to recruit and train Soul Master talent.
• Ye Guyi met them at the academy gate, and Ju Zi asked her to enroll Bing Hanxue and look after her.
• Ye Guyi led Bing Hanxue into the academy while Ju Zi left the city aboard a Flying Soul Tool and headed for the Divine Machine Hall.

Ju Zi visited the Divine Machine Hall’s underground laboratory, where researchers used a thirty-thousand-year Extreme Fire Soul Bone to test whether Soul Power could transform matter into Scarlet Flame Crystal. The experiment failed at the brink of producing Scarlet Flame Crystal Marrow, leaving the researchers unable to explain the collapse.

• Ju Zi entered the Divine Machine Hall and passed several senior Soul Engineers who showed her deep respect as their chief.
• Ju Zi inspected the Soul Power Pollution Experiment, which used radiation from an Extreme Fire Soul Bone to transform gold into Scarlet Flame Crystal.
• The researchers increased the Soul Bone’s output, and the Scarlet Flame Crystal began growing toward its more valuable marrow form.
• The crystal cracked and exploded into useless powder, triggering a chain reaction that destroyed the other newly formed crystals.
• The researchers studied the failed experiment’s data and could not understand why the crystal collapsed despite the theory and equipment appearing sound.

Ju Zi oversaw the Soul Power Crystal Cultivation Project and reflected on how Huo Yuhao's theories had advanced the Divine Machine Hall's research. The chapter ended as her Communication Soul Tool rang and she answered it.

• Ju Zi ordered researchers to record the failed Scarlet Flame Crystal experiment's parameters and include environmental suppression and natural loss in their next simulations.
• Ju Zi inspected the Soul Power Crystal Cultivation Project, which had produced small first-generation crystals but reached a technical bottleneck.
• Ju Zi credited Huo Yuhao's research from Shrek Academy's Library with supporting many of the Divine Machine Hall's secret projects.
• Ju Zi recalled how Huo Yuhao had developed a theory of Wave-Particle Duality from an obscure biography, enabling the Divine Machine Hall to create Communication Soul Tools.
• Ju Zi pressed the reception crystal on her wrist-mounted Communication Soul Tool.

Ju Zi approved Minghuang Academy’s entry into the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament while juggling her other responsibilities. News of Dai Huabin’s execution reached her, and the chapter ended as her team completed a major experiment measuring the benefits of different levels of Soul Rings.

• Ju Zi told Dugu Ling to register Minghuang Academy for the tournament and carefully select its team while guarding the academy’s secrets.
• Ju Zi oversaw Divine Machine Hall, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and Minghuang Academy as preparations continued.
• Dai Huabin went mad at the White Tiger Duke’s Estate, killed his mother, and was sentenced to death by the Supreme Tribunal.
• Ju Zi read the report of Dai Huabin’s death and reflected on how small changes had altered the future she remembered.
• Ju Zi, Xuan Ziwen, and the Seventh-Level Soul Engineers completed cross-verification of more than a thousand experiments on the effects of Ten-Year, Centennial, and Millennium Soul Rings.

Divine Machine Hall completed the foundational Soul Ring research needed to mass-produce spirit liquid, giving Spirit Medicine Pavilion a way to reduce its dependence on Huo Yuhao. As the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament approached, Ju Zi prepared Minghuang Academy’s formidable team, while Huo Yuhao learned that Dai Yueheng had left Shrek after Dai Huabin killed his mother and destabilized the White Tiger Duke’s Estate.

• Ju Zi received Divine Machine Hall’s Soul Ring enhancement data, which allowed researchers to mature the Soul Guidance Medicine Cauldron technology and plan assembly-line spirit liquid production.
• A month later, Ju Zi watched Dugu Ling rally Minghuang Academy’s tournament team, which included Ye Guyi, Bing Hanxue, Jiang Nannan, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Xu Mingzi, and Ye Xifei.
• Ju Zi anticipated that Minghuang Academy would crush Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, and hoped Huo Yuhao would last long enough to see her team’s strength.
• Ma Xiaotao told Huo Yuhao that Dai Yueheng had withdrawn from Shrek after Dai Huabin killed his mother, an imperial princess, and caused upheaval at the White Tiger Duke’s Estate.
• Huo Yuhao realized his hidden command had caused Dai Huabin’s actions, while Ma Xiaotao vowed to carry Shrek’s tournament burden and said another Soul Saint would soon appear.

At Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao revealed she had reached level seventy, and Huo Yuhao announced that he had reached level forty. Ma Xiaotao proposed that they hunt soul beasts together to obtain their next Soul Rings before the tournament.

• Dai Yueheng withdrew from school after the chaos at the White Tiger Duke's Estate, leaving the Shrek Seven Monsters short one member.
• Huo Yuhao was chosen as a reserve team member after defeating the Outer Court core disciples in a chaotic melee, then selected the other six members himself.
• Ma Xiaotao displayed her level-seventy Soul Power, astonishing the people gathered in the arena.
• Ling Luocheng admired Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice but hesitated to approach him because of her social anxiety and the girls around him.
• Huo Yuhao told Ma Xiaotao that his Soul Power had reached level forty, and she invited him to hunt soul beasts so they could obtain their next Soul Rings.

Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao refused to join the Shrek Inspection Corps and split from the team to seek Soul Rings in the Southern Volcanic Archipelago. They reached the volcanic islands, where Ma Xiaotao hoped to find an Extreme Fire Soul Beast while Huo Yuhao planned to secretly complete the Firmament-Shaking Sacred Dragon’s sacrifice.

• Xuan Zi invited the reserve team to join the Shrek Inspection Corps, but Huo Yuhao declined and Wang Dong, Ning Tian, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng followed suit.
• Xuan Zi accepted the refusals and led the main group toward the Ming Dou Mountain Range, while Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao separated from them to obtain Soul Rings.
• Ma Xiaotao aimed to absorb an Extreme Fire Soul Beast for her seventh Soul Ring, while Huo Yuhao planned to summon the Heavenly Creation Cauldron and complete the Firmament-Shaking Sacred Dragon’s sacrificial ritual.
• After flying for two days, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao reached the Southern Sea and flew toward the Southern Volcanic Archipelago.

Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao reached Heavenly Phoenix Island to hunt its ruler, the sixty-thousand-year Great Sun Phoenix, whose Extreme Fire and Phoenix bloodline could help Ma Xiaotao transform her Evil Fire. They found the beast resting in a magma lake, and Ma Xiaotao prepared to fight it.

• Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao flew into the Southern Volcanic Archipelago, where Ma Xiaotao identified Heavenly Phoenix Island as their destination.
• Ma Xiaotao explained that the Great Sun Phoenix’s Extreme Fire and Phoenix bloodline could purify her Evil Fire and develop her martial soul.
• Huo Yuhao judged that his Extreme Ice and Eternal Frozen Domain could counter the Great Sun Phoenix’s home-ground advantage and help them defeat it.
• Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao reached Heavenly Phoenix Island and spotted the Great Sun Phoenix sleeping in the magma lake.
• Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists and spread her fiery wings, eager to fight the Great Sun Phoenix.
