Chapter Summaries

Xuan Zi and the allied powerhouses demanded that Xu Jiujiu surrender actual command of the Allied Forces to him while remaining its public marshal. Outnumbered and unwilling to endanger Grandma Man Yi or undermine the war effort, Xu Jiujiu agreed.

• Xuan Zi asked Xu Jiujiu to dismiss everyone from the command tent so they could discuss a confidential matter, then detected Man Yi hiding nearby.
• Xu Jiujiu insisted that Man Yi stay, and Xuan Zi accepted her presence after confirming she was a Titled Douluo and sealing the tent with a Soundproof Soul Guidance Barrier.
• Xuan Zi demanded actual command of the Allied Forces while leaving Xu Jiujiu as its public commander, explaining that he wanted to avoid internal bloodshed and keep control discreet.
• Man Yi accused Xuan Zi and his supporters of inciting a rebellion, but Tang Feng and the other powerhouses backed Xuan Zi, arguing he had a better chance of leading the forces to victory.
• Xu Jiujiu stopped Man Yi from resisting and agreed to Xuan Zi's demand because she was outnumbered and the Allied Forces still needed the powerhouses.

Tang San celebrated the Faith Power he gained from the war and planned to intervene as a public savior when the timing suited him, despite the risk of punishment from the God of Destruction. After discovering that the Sea God’s believers and Faith Power had sharply declined, he confronted Sea God Douluo, who was startled by the demand for an explanation.

• Tang San saw the losses suffered by Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy as an opportunity to gather Faith Power and planned to rescue them publicly when the war neared its end.
• Tang San blocked his believers’ pleas, believing they should serve him rather than ask him for help.
• Tang San recalled how the Sea God Family supported his faith and decided to check the Faith Power gathered by his Sea God Godhood.
• Tang San discovered that both the Faith Power and the number of its sources had fallen, and blamed Sea God Douluo for failing to expand the Sea God Faith.
• Tang San demanded that Sea God Douluo explain the decline, shocking him in the Sea God Temple on Douluo Star.

Tang San ordered Sea God Douluo to investigate a suspected scheme behind the Sea God's declining influence, then planned to use a birthday ceremony to identify disloyal Sea Soul Beasts. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao returned to Mingdu after successfully spreading faith in the Ice God among the ocean's Sea Soul Beasts.

• Tang San sent Sea God Douluo to investigate the suspected loss of Sea God believers, fearing the God of Destruction was behind it.
• Sea God Douluo reported that the number of believers had increased and that he could not find the mastermind, prompting Tang San to reprimand him.
• Tang San ordered Sea God Douluo to announce a Sea God Ceremony and summon Sea Soul Beasts to the island, declaring that those who refused should be treated as traitors.
• Sea God Douluo left the temple to spread news of the ceremony through the Sea God Family and the Great White Shark of the Demon Soul Clan.
• Huo Yuhao walked through Mingdu in disguise with Jing Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen after returning from leading the Mermaid Clan in promoting faith in the Ice God.

Huo Yuhao learned that Tang San planned a Sea God Ceremony to draw Sea Soul Beasts to Sea God Island, and he moved to strengthen the Ice God faith while considering the danger. He also learned that Xuan Zi had seized control of the allied forces and told Ju Zi to keep the news secret until the Sun Moon Empire had defeated them.

• The Plane Consciousness warned Huo Yuhao that Tang San had ordered a Sea God Ceremony and sent Demon Soul Great White Sharks and Sea God Family members to summon Sea Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao judged the ceremony to be a trap, told the Sea Princess to spread the Ice God faith more quickly, and informed the Plane Consciousness of their plan.
• The Plane Consciousness told Huo Yuhao that Xuan Zi had secretly taken command of the allied forces and made Xu Jiujiu a figurehead.
• Huo Yuhao sent Ju Zi a recorded message about Xuan Zi's power grab and instructed her not to reveal it until the Sun Moon Army had badly defeated the alliance.
• At Yu Ming City, Ju Zi told her generals about Xuan Zi's actions, and Wang Yiheng questioned whether the intelligence was real.
• Ju Zi said Huo Yuhao had provided the information and assured the generals that his intelligence network was reliable.

Ju Zi rejected a plan to expose Xuan Zi’s seizure of power before the next battle and instead arranged to seek support from the Body Sect and Tianhun Army. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao visited a treasure fair in Mingdu, where Meng Hongchen asked Jing Hongchen to buy her a pile of subdragon scales.

• Xu Tianyuan urged Ju Zi to expose Xuan Zi’s seizure of power and exploit the allied forces’ internal divisions.
• Ju Zi refused, saying she would bring in the Body Sect and part of the Tianhun Army to bolster her forces.
• Ju Zi explained that she would invite the Body Sect’s leader and the Heaven Soul Emperor to Yu Ming City to discuss their support and the Heaven Dou Empire’s demotion to the Tianhun Kingdom.
• Huo Yuhao and his companions visited a treasure fair in Mingdu at Jing Hongchen’s invitation.
• Meng Hongchen stopped at a display of fifty-thousand-year subdragon scales and told Jing Hongchen she wanted them.

Jing Hongchen arranged for Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao to spend time alone at the Treasure Appreciating Fair, where they grew closer while attending Teacher Chen Wei’s lecture. Meanwhile, Ning Tian and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School’s delegation arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to meet Huo Yuhao and its Dean, but neither was there.

• Jing Hongchen bought the scales Meng Hongchen chose, then left with Xiao Hongchen and the maid under the excuse of meeting an old friend, leaving Meng Hongchen with Huo Yuhao.
• Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao continued exploring the fair, and she realized her feelings for him had grown stronger.
• Ning Tian learned that Huo Yuhao and the Dean were absent from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, so she and her delegation waited in the reception hall.
• Meng Hongchen took Huo Yuhao’s hand as they pushed through the crowd to reach Teacher Chen Wei’s lecture.
• The host asked Teacher Chen Wei about the Sun Moon Empire’s opponents accusing its army of invasion, and he replied, “The more the enemy opposes us, the more it proves we were right!”

At a public lecture in Mingdu, Teacher Chen Wei praised the Sun Moon Empire’s war effort and predicted it would unify the Douluo Continent within two and a half years. After the lecture, Meng Hongchen tried to arrange for Huo Yuhao to carry her back, but he suggested waiting for the Dean instead.

• Teacher Chen Wei told the audience that Shrek Academy’s opposition proved its fear of the Sun Moon Empire and that its resistance would eventually be crushed.
• Chen Wei said the Sun Moon Military expected to unify the continent within two and a half years and had not yet used its full strength.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on the army’s Humanoid Soul Tools and the progress that could eventually improve his Ice Extreme War God Armor.
• Chen Wei addressed the enemy through an Image Recording Soul Guidance Device, promising citizenship to those who surrendered and a devastating blow to those who resisted.
• Meng Hongchen asked Huo Yuhao to take her back, hoping he would carry her, but he proposed waiting for the Dean to return.

Huo Yuhao carried Meng Hongchen back to the academy after she asked him to help her rest, while Jing Hongchen watched them through Soul Guidance surveillance. Jing Hongchen explained Xiao Hongchen’s unease about his sister’s growing closeness to Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Hongchen then asked when they should return to the academy to receive the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School delegation.

• Meng Hongchen refused to bring Jing Hongchen back and asked Huo Yuhao to carry her to the academy instead.
• Huo Yuhao carried Meng Hongchen through Mingdu, keeping his Soul Power circulating as he felt her against his back.
• Jing Hongchen watched the pair on a Soul Guidance surveillance screen and praised Meng Hongchen for getting Huo Yuhao to carry her.
• Xiao Hongchen told Jing Hongchen that he felt uneasy about Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao growing closer, and Jing Hongchen explained that he feared losing his sister and worried she might be bullied.
• Xiao Hongchen accepted Jing Hongchen’s explanation and asked when they should return to the academy to receive the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School delegation.

Jing Hongchen confronted Ning Tian over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School’s ties to both sides and demanded absolute loyalty before agreeing to deeper cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire. Ning Tian favored supporting the empire but recognized that her sect could not safely abandon its connection to Shrek Academy.

• Jing Hongchen returned to the academy and met Ning Tian and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School delegation.
• Ning Tian proposed deeper cooperation and offered to buy Sun Moon Soul Tools and provide financial and resource support.
• Jing Hongchen challenged the sect’s commitment, rejected its offer as insufficient, and demanded that it choose the Sun Moon Empire over the allied forces.
• The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School elders objected angrily, while Jing Hongchen used their reaction to pressure them and seize the initiative.
• Ning Tian judged that pledging the whole sect to the Sun Moon Empire was too risky if it lost, and recalled how Shrek Academy had treated the declining Tang Sect.

Jing Hongchen demanded that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School show its sincerity before discussing deeper cooperation, while Ning Tian sought Huo Yuhao’s help with negotiations. Huo Yuhao used his divine consciousness to pressure the visitors, and the Sect Protecting Douluo agreed to advocate for the school to side with the Sun Moon Empire, but had a request of his own.

• Jing Hongchen told the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School elders that deeper cooperation required them to meet his demands, and Ning Tian asked for Huo Yuhao to join the negotiations.
• Huo Yuhao entered carrying the apparently sleeping Meng Hongchen, placed her on a chair, and set up a Soundproof Soul Guidance Barrier around her.
• Ning Tian asked Huo Yuhao to help deepen cooperation, and he said the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had to side completely with the Sun Moon Empire.
• Huo Yuhao released some of his divine consciousness, overwhelming Ning Tian and the elders with Spiritual Power pressure.
• The Sect Protecting Douluo agreed to call a sect meeting to advocate support for the Sun Moon Empire, then said he had a request before returning.

Huo Yuhao agreed to help the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School obtain the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul if the sect fully supported the Sun Moon Empire. After a successful Soul Tool deal, Ning Tian’s group returned to Star Cloud City to report that the goal might be possible.

• The Sect Protecting Douluo asked Huo Yuhao to help the sect obtain the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and Huo Yuhao made his help conditional on the sect fully supporting the Sun Moon Empire.
• The Sect Protecting Douluo promised to discuss the sect’s support with the sect master, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School placed a Soul Tool order worth three billion Gold Soul Coins with Mingde Hall.
• Ning Tian invited Huo Yuhao to visit the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he agreed to come another time.
• At the sect’s temporary residence in Star Cloud City, Ning Xiujie asked Star Elder about the negotiations, and Star Elder said the sect might obtain the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.
• Star Elder asked Ning Tian to explain what happened in the Sun Moon Empire, and Ning Tian began recounting the events.

Ning Xiujie and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School decided to secretly support the Sun Moon Empire, hoping Huo Yuhao might help their martial souls evolve. In Star Cloud City, Xuan Zi confronted Tang Feng over his attempt to secure cushy, low-risk jobs for the Clear Sky Sect’s ordinary outer disciples.

• Ning Xiujie believed Huo Yuhao could become a god and help the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ning Xiujie and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School elders agreed to support the Sun Moon Empire and relocate their sect disciples to infiltrate the allied forces.
• Ning Xiujie sent Star Elder to inform Huo Yuhao of the decision and coordinate with the Sun Moon Empire at the front lines.
• Xuan Zi accused Tang Feng of seeking lucrative, low-risk posts for the Clear Sky Sect’s outer disciples and warned that it could alienate allied forces.
• Tang Feng defended his request, saying the ordinary outer disciples were vulnerable and that Ancestor Tang San had instructed the sect to treat them well and share its inherited techniques with them.

Xuan Zi reluctantly agreed to give the Clear Sky Sect's outer disciples low-risk, lucrative positions after Tang Feng defended their right to serve and reminded Xuan Zi that he relied on the sect's support. In Star Luo City, Xu Jiawei learned that the Star Luo Chino Defense Line would be completed in about half a month, preparing the city to withstand a Sun Moon Army advance.

• Xuan Zi tried to persuade Tang Feng to send the Clear Sky Sect's outer disciples home, arguing that they would be in danger and were not needed on the battlefield.
• Tang Feng refused, saying the outer disciples had a right to contribute and that Ancestor Tang San had ordered the sect to respect their dignity and wishes.
• Tang Feng reminded Xuan Zi that the Clear Sky Sect and other reclusive powerhouses had helped him seize command of the allied forces and could withdraw their support.
• Xuan Zi agreed to assign the Clear Sky Sect's outer disciples low-risk, lucrative positions, leaving Star Luo and Dou Ling powerhouses to bear the resulting resentment.
• Cheng Gang told Xu Jiawei that construction of the Star Luo Chino Defense Line was progressing smoothly and would take about another half month to finish.

Xu Jiawei strengthened the Star Luo Empire’s defenses and ordered Dai Luoli and Yun'er back to Star Luo City, while Zhu Qifeng led an increasingly battered fleet across the Great Sea. The fleet finally found a vast new continent, giving the Empire a potential refuge, while Xuan Zi stood before a map in Star Cloud City.

• Xu Jiawei ordered Cheng Gang to bring Dai Luoli and Yun'er back to Star Luo City so Dai Luoli could support the weakened Dai Family and Yun'er could avoid battlefield dangers.
• Zhu Qifeng refused to leave his post aboard the fleet, and he ordered injured Dai Yuan and the other officers to rest, insisting they address him by rank while on duty.
• Zhu Qifeng worried that Sea Soul Beast attacks and the endless ocean could destroy the fleet before it found land.
• Several days later, Zhu Qifeng spotted a lush coastline and flew over to confirm that the fleet had discovered a vast new continent with unusual trees in the seawater.
• Zhu Qifeng returned to the fleet, determined to lead an exploration of the new continent, while Xuan Zi stood before a map in a command tent in Star Cloud City.

Xuan Zi proposed faking a rebellion to lure the Sun Moon Army into an ambush and kill Kong Deming, while Ju Zi secured the support of the Body Sect and Tianhun Army. The chapter left Ju Zi considering a report that Xuan Zi had rebelled against Xu Jiujiu, unsure whether it was a genuine coup or a deception.

• Xuan Zi told Xu Jiujiu to present his plan for a staged rebellion so the Sun Moon Army would attack the supposedly weakened allied forces.
• Xuan Zi claimed he could use the ambush to kill Kong Deming, and Xu Jiujiu questioned whether the plan could survive the uncertainties of battle.
• Ju Zi offered the Body Sect and Tianhun Army Soul Tools in exchange for their support of the Sun Moon Army.
• A female scout reported that Xuan Zi had rebelled against Xu Jiujiu and attempted to seize command, prompting Ju Zi to suspect a ruse.

Ju Zi learned that Xuan Zi had seized control of the allied forces and planned to lure the Sun Moon Army into a trap, but she chose to delay the advance and wait for reinforcements. Five days later, Xuan Zi grew anxious when Ju Zi’s army still had not attacked Star Cloud City.

• A scout reported that Xuan Zi had taken Xu Jiujiu hostage, seized command, and thrown the allied forces into chaos.
• Ju Zi explained that Xuan Zi planned to use the apparent rebellion to lure the Sun Moon Army into battle and kill Old Kong at great cost to the allies.
• Ju Zi rejected Wang Yiheng’s proposal to take the bait immediately and ordered the army to wait for several days and for the Body Sect and Tianhun Army to arrive.
• Five days later, Xuan Zi wondered why the Sun Moon Army had not advanced, then convinced himself that Ju Zi was merely being cautious.

Xuan Zi’s plan to lure the Sun Moon Army into a trap reached its decisive moment when Kong Deming appeared above Star Cloud City. The allied soldiers learned the truth about Xuan Zi’s staged rebellion and joined the attack, but Kong Deming raised a barrier around Xuan Zi and his group.

• Xuan Zi told Xu Jiujiu that the allied forces’ unrest had to continue until the Sun Moon Army took the bait.
• Seven days later, the Sun Moon Army surrounded Star Cloud City and began bombarding it with Soul Guidance Cannons.
• Kong Deming appeared above the city with masked black-robed figures, and Xuan Zi led the allied powerhouses to attack him.
• At Xu Jiujiu’s signal, a Mind-Type Titled Douluo revealed Xuan Zi’s plan to the allied soldiers, who joined the assault after seeing the supposedly dead or captured commanders appear.
• A silver moon formed a barrier of light around Xuan Zi and his group.

Kong Deming faced Xuan Zi and the allied forces inside the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield until Du Busi and the Body Sect experts revealed their support for the Sun Moon Empire. Meanwhile, Ning Xiujie reached the Sun Moon Army’s command tent under Huo Yuhao’s arranged coordination, having pretended to the allied forces that he intended to assassinate the marshal.

• Xuan Zi led the Titled Douluo in attacking Kong Deming’s shield while allied cannon fire added pressure, but Kong Deming remained calm.
• Du Busi and ten other Body Sect experts revealed themselves and destroyed incoming shells, turning the fight against the allied forces.
• Xuan Zi condemned Du Busi for aiding Kong Deming, while Xu Jiujiu worried that the allied plan was collapsing and hoped Ning Xiujie’s mission would succeed.
• The allied forces had agreed to let Ning Xiujie target the Sun Moon Marshal to draw the army’s attention, but Ning Xiujie had only proposed it to mislead them.
• Ning Xiujie and his group moved through the Sun Moon Army under the marshal’s guards, following Huo Yuhao’s arrangement for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Xiujie met the Sun Moon Marshal, Ju Zi, and learned she wanted his group to remain undercover in the allied forces rather than join the Sun Moon Army openly. Following Huo Yuhao’s guidance, Ju Zi ordered them to gain influence by rescuing important figures when the allied forces faced their greatest danger.

• Ning Xiujie entered Ju Zi’s command tent expecting to meet an older marshal and was astonished to learn that the young woman before him was the Sun Moon Marshal.
• Ning Xiujie proposed betraying the allied forces immediately and helping the Sun Moon Army destroy them, but Ju Zi rejected the plan.
• Ju Zi told Ning Xiujie to make the assassination attempt appear to fail, return to Star Cloud City, and rescue important figures during a crisis to earn merit and influence.
• Ju Zi explained that Huo Yuhao had foreseen that controlling the pace of the war would give the Sun Moon Empire time to grow stronger and prepare for powerful enemies.

Ju Zi arranged for Ning Xiujie and selected members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to fake their deaths and return to the allied forces, while the Sun Moon Army gained the upper hand in the battle at Star Cloud City. Star Elder then reported that the assassination attempt had failed and warned the allied commanders that a traitor was among them.

• Ju Zi told Ning Xiujie to leave people behind as apparent casualties and promised to protect them at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Ning Xiujie agreed to have two elders lead the young members to study there, and Ju Zi arranged a staged pursuit to make their escape convincing.
• The Sun Moon Army's bombardment devastated the allied forces, while Du Busi and his group joined Kong Deming against Xuan Zi's experts.
• Nine Body Sect Titled Douluo withdrew wounded, while the allied forces lost twenty Titled Douluo and two Super Douluo.
• Xuan Zi saw Ning Xiujie and his group flee with Soul Engineers in pursuit, then heard Star Elder report that their assassination attempt had failed and that a traitor was likely among the allied higher-ups.
• Xuan Zi suspected a traitor had also exposed Kong Deming's earlier movements and resolved to investigate if he survived.
