Chapter Summaries

Bai Chen awakened three powerful martial souls across the Douluo I, II, and III eras, but each appeared in the wrong era. He recognized that the mismatch deprived them of the advantages and resources that made them the answers to their own eras, leaving their futures uncertain.

• Bai Chen’s three versions began their martial soul awakenings in their respective eras.
• The Douluo I Bai Chen awakened the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Douluo II Bai Chen awakened the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, and the Douluo III Bai Chen awakened the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s voice instructed Bai Chen to kill, devour, and plunder, and declared that its divine trial would begin at the seventh ring.
• Bai Chen realized that all three martial souls had awakened in eras that did not suit them.
• Bai Chen considered how the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lacked an abundant supply of soul beasts, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had missed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion faced slow cultivation in Douluo I.

After awakening three powerful martial souls with Innate Full Soul Power, Bai Chen joined Spirit Hall and hurried to Aolai City with Xue E to find Na'er. He spotted a helpless silver-haired girl sitting by the street, leaving his attempt to approach and protect her just beginning.

• Bai Chen tested as Innate Full Soul Power, accepted the Spirit Hall invitation, and rejected the Spirit Pagoda's offer.
• Bai Chen asked Xue E to take him to Aolai City because he had a premonition that he would meet someone important there.

• Bai Chen stopped when he saw a petite silver-haired girl crouched helplessly by the street.

Bai Chen brought Na'er back toward Skysea City while discovering that his versions in different eras had sharply different abilities to cultivate. In the Douluo I Era, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion took him from his village, and he explained that he had offered himself to spare the other villagers.

• Bai Chen asked Xue E to let him take Na'er home after the city government found no information about her parents, and Na'er fell asleep against him during the journey.
• Bai Chen tried cultivating across the three eras and found that his Douluo I self meditated readily, his Douluo II self struggled, and his Douluo III self could barely cultivate.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried Bai Chen toward the Star Dou Great Forest and confirmed that she could speak.
• Bai Chen told the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that he had willingly faced her because he would rather die himself than let her kill the Spirit Hall member or other villagers.

• Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried Bai Chen to the Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest, where a crimson figure asked where the Auspicious Beast had gone and who Bai Chen was.

Bai Chen told Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King that Soul Beasts would face extinction in the future and proposed using Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s power to become a god and save them. The Silver Dragon King listened to his offer and considered his plan to share future technology with the Soul Beasts.

• Bai Chen explained that Soul Tools and rising human cultivation would let humans surpass Soul Beasts, whose intelligence developed too slowly to keep pace.
• Bai Chen proposed becoming a god with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s power and sharing future technologies with Soul Beasts in exchange; the Silver Dragon King found the plan interesting.

Bai Chen met the imprisoned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and offered to share the Soul Spirit technique in exchange for help developing a Wisdom Soul Ring, while the Silver Dragon King agreed to strengthen the Ice Silkworm if Bai Chen proved his value. In the Douluo III Era, Na'er woke at the Bai Family Villa, where Bai Chen told her that his home would become hers.

• The Silver Dragon King sent Di Tian to take Bai Chen to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and agreed to consider using the Lake of Life's resources to help it reach a million years.

The chapter ended with Bai Chen arriving at the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect's training grounds, where Ning Tian and a disgruntled red-haired girl were gathered.

• Ning Jingchen explained that Bai Chen and Wu Feng would duel for the right to become Ning Tian’s partner.

Bai Chen proved he was already a Level-One Soul Engineer by crafting a Soul Tool, persuading the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect to let him and Ning Tian study in the Sun-Moon Empire. As they traveled toward the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his first Soul Ring, he tried to ease Ning Tian’s nerves with a magic trick.

• Bai Chen crafted a Level-One Soul Tool in Ning Jingchen’s workshop, astonishing Ning Jingchen and Hua Tianyu with his speed and skill.

• Bai Chen noticed Ning Tian was nervous and performed a coin trick, making three Copper Soul Coins appear where there had been one.

Bai Chen entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Ning Tian, Ning Jingchen, and Hua Tianyu to hunt a Soul Ring. After absorbing a two-thousand-year Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring and gaining a right palm bone from the same beast, he began absorbing the bone.

• Bai Chen and Ning Tian grew comfortable with each other during the journey, and Ning Tian’s nervousness eased after Bai Chen’s magic trick.
• The group entered the Star Dou Great Forest, where Hua Tianyu drove off a pack of Wind Wolves with his Title Douluo aura.
• Hua Tianyu and Ning Jingchen found a two-thousand-year Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear and recognized it as a suitable Soul Ring for Bai Chen.
• Hua Tianyu restrained the bear, and Bai Chen killed it before absorbing its Soul Ring; his Domination Domain suppressed the beast’s bloodline aura and helped him absorb it safely.
• Bai Chen’s Soul Power rose to level fourteen, and Hua Tianyu told him the bear had produced a valuable right palm bone.
• Bai Chen accepted the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone and began absorbing it.

Bai Chen absorbed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone and tested its evolving claw ability and his first Soul Skill, Steel Bone Shaking Gold, before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest with his companions. Later, in the Douluo III Era, visitors arrived at the Bai residence, and Xiaoyan went with Bai Chen to meet Na'er.

Bai Chen joined a Federation voyage to hunt Sea Soul Beasts while studying the Soul Spirit Ritual, hoping to find a Dark- or Space-attribute Soul Ring.

• Xue E showed Bai Chen the Sea Soul Beast distribution map and explained how the Federation guided the hunt through surveyed waters.
• The Soul-Hunting Ship stopped at three marked regions, where Federation Soul Masters helped customers hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings.
• An unrecorded attack brought a pack of Evil Tiger Sharks, including a leader with about fifty thousand years of cultivation, and Xue E recognized them as suitable for Bai Chen's Martial Soul.
• Xue E negotiated with the ship's leaders, and the Federation used Soul Guide Shells to rout the Evil Tiger Sharks and collect their corpses and Soul Rings.
• Xue E brought Bai Chen the Soul Rings he wanted, then asked why Bai Chen had bought two.

Bai Chen discovered that his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul gave him Innate Level-20 Soul Power, allowing him to absorb two Soul Rings and reach Level 22, but the Evil Attribute’s hunger and murderous whispers also grew stronger. At the Ice Attribute Soul Beast hunting ground, the group came under attack, and Bai Chen flew toward the golden fish that had tried to pierce him.

• Bai Chen absorbed the Evil Tiger Shark Soul Ring, broke through to Level 20, and shocked Xue E with his Innate Level-20 Soul Power.

Bai Chen slaughtered Sea Soul Beasts, then used his new Time Freeze skill to survive a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast’s attack and kill it with Xue E’s help. After reassuring Xu Xiaoyan and Na'er, he explained why Soul Masters and Soul Beasts inevitably fought.

• Bai Chen killed Sea Soul Beasts with the Evil God Hook and gained enough energy to rise to level twenty-three before stopping himself from continuing to slaughter.
