Chapter Summaries

Eva defeated Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ghost Leopard Douluo, then confronted the spreading Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison that Dugu Bo had lost control of. She began absorbing the poison into her mirrors, leaving the battlefield’s fate unresolved.

• Eva used silver chains to bind Yue Guan and Gui Mei, while Ge Duo’s vines restrained Ghost Leopard Douluo, leaving all three Title Douluo captured.
• Yue Guan realized Eva had concealed her immense cultivation, but Eva told him he had never asked before turning toward the battlefield.
• Dugu Bo’s poison overwhelmed the Spirit Hall Empire’s flank, killing thousands as Soul Power drew the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison into victims and their corpses spread it further.
• Rapunzel feared the uncontrolled poison would reach Iron Gate Pass, while Dugu Bo admitted to Eva that he could not contain it.
• Eva told Dugu Bo she would handle the poison, exchanged a silent glance with Ge Duo, and filled the battlefield with mirrors that sucked the toxic mist into Reflection Space.

Eva and Ge Duo helped clear the poisonous mist at Iron Gate Pass, where the Northern Frontier Allied Army crushed the Spirit Hall Empire’s invasion and captured three Title Douluo. News of the victory spread across the continent, prompting the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and Star Luo Empire to reassess the war and Eva’s growing power.

• Eva used her mirrors while Ge Duo’s Demon Vine Domain neutralized the poison, clearing the battlefield and prompting many Spirit Hall Empire soldiers to surrender.

• Ning Fengzhi congratulated Eva and ordered supplies sent to the Northern Frontier while directing the Alliance to spread news of Spirit Hall’s defeat.
• Dai Tianfeng recognized that Eva had become a central force in the war after Spirit Hall lost four Title Douluo.

After Eva’s forces destroyed three Spirit Hall legions and captured three Title Douluo in the Northern Frontier, Dai Tianfeng and Bibi Dong adjusted their military plans. Qian Daoliu learned that Eva was at least level ninety-seven and reconsidered how much he had underestimated her.

• Dai Tianfeng read the battle report about Eva, Ge Duo, and Dugu Bo defeating Spirit Hall’s forces, then told his envoy to celebrate the victory with the alliance and pause the eastern offensive.
• Bibi Dong assessed the loss of a hundred thousand troops and three captured Title Douluo, then ordered Spirit Hall’s eastern, southern, and western garrisons to contract their defensive lines.
• Qian Daoliu read a detailed report estimating Eva’s cultivation at level ninety-seven or higher and recalled how he had dismissed her strength in the past.
• Qian Daoliu realized Eva no longer needed his protection and left Worship Hall after rereading the report.

Eva assigned responsibilities for governing the Northern Frontier’s twenty cities and incorporating the surrendered army, while Rapunzel continued healing wounded soldiers. After learning of Spirit Hall’s defeat, Xiao Wu decided to join the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and seek a chance to kill Bibi Dong.

• Old General Qin reported that more than eighty-nine thousand surrendered soldiers had been registered and incorporated into the Northern Frontier Allied Army.
• Duke Zhao reported captured supplies and the takeover of eleven cities, giving Eva control of twenty cities and a population of more than 1.2 million.

• Rapunzel healed wounded soldiers in the camp, gaining Reputation Points and advancing her Goddess of Life Divine Examination, while Ge Duo began preparing pills to help.
• Xiao Wu learned that Spirit Hall had been defeated and three Title Douluos captured, then told the Nine-Colored Deer she planned to join the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and kill Bibi Dong.
• The Nine-Colored Deer gave Xiao Wu a gentle blessing and reminded her to stay safe, and she headed toward Da Ming and Er Ming.

Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Great Forest for the human world, determined to approach Bibi Dong while the Spirit Hall Empire was weakened. In Clear Sky City, Tang San received a letter from his sister saying she was safe but not revealing her location, and he resolved to cultivate harder while ignoring her request not to search for her.

• Xiao Wu told Da Ming and Er Ming she planned to join the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and get close to Bibi Dong, but refused Tian Meng's suggestion that the two soul beasts sacrifice themselves to become her Wisdom Soul Rings.
• Er Ming carried Xiao Wu to the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, where she promised to return before setting out alone.
• Tang Hao gave Tang San a letter from his sister, who said she was safe, would not visit Clear Sky City soon, and asked him not to look for her.
• Tang Hao explained that the letter's postmark showed it had been sent from an eastern coastal town and that the letters were arriving more frequently.
• Tang San decided to increase his cultivation time, but he ignored his sister's request not to search for her.

Tang Hao brought Tang San to a hidden cave and revealed that the Blue Silver Grass growing there was his mother, Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who had sacrificed herself to save him and Tang San. As Tang Hao introduced their son to her, Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Blue Silver Domain awakened on their own, and Ah Yin’s grass began to sway violently.

• Tang Hao led Tang San from Clear Sky City to a cave behind a waterfall, where a pale, struggling stalk of Blue Silver Grass grew on a small mound.
• Tang Hao demanded that Tang San kneel before the grass, then revealed that it was his mother, Ah Yin.
• Tang Hao explained that Ah Yin had been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who sacrificed herself, giving him her power, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone to protect him and their unborn son.
• Tang San connected his Blue Silver Grass affinity and other experiences to his mother’s bloodline, then asked whether the grass truly was Ah Yin.
• Tang Hao introduced Tang San to Ah Yin, and Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Blue Silver Domain activated without his control as the grass began to sway violently.

Tang San used his Blue Silver Domain to awaken the Blue Silver Grass that held Ah Yin, which reached two feet tall and responded tenderly to him and Tang Hao. Tang Hao urged Tang San to join him in taking revenge on Spirit Hall, but Tang San left the matter unresolved, believing they were still too weak to act.

• Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain caused the Blue Silver Grass to grow and reveal signs of awareness, but it stopped at two feet tall.
• The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Tang Hao’s wrist and Tang San’s finger, sending Tang San a faint, affectionate spiritual feeling.
• Tang Hao told Tang San that Qian Xunji had led Spirit Hall members in the attack on him and Ah Yin, and said Qian Xunji later died from Tang Hao’s injuries.
• Tang Hao urged Tang San to avenge Ah Yin and help him level Spirit Hall while its forces were occupied elsewhere.
• Tang San agreed that he wanted revenge but questioned who had attacked his parents and silently decided he would not act until he was strong enough.

Tang Hao gave Tang San the blue-gold Right Leg Bone Ah Yin had left for him, and Tang San absorbed it, undergoing a profound transformation before losing consciousness. He awoke in the stone chamber with a strange new sensation in his right leg and found his skin shedding a layer of grayish-white residue.

• Tang San reflected that Cinderella was the person he cared about most and that revenge was only a secondary concern.
• Tang Hao retrieved a heavy lead box and revealed the living, blue-gold Right Leg Bone Ah Yin had left for Tang San.
• Tang San absorbed the Soul Bone, which purified his Mysterious Heaven Skill energy, expanded and strengthened his meridians, and triggered a rapid breakthrough.
• Tang San lost consciousness as the Soul Bone’s gentle energy transformed his body, while Tang Hao watched sadly.
• Tang San awoke on the stone chamber floor and scraped away grayish-white residue from his right leg, revealing tender new skin.

Tang San recovered after absorbing his mother's Soul Bone, gaining a greatly strengthened body and a low-cost flight ability. Meanwhile, Cinderella reached Balak Royal City and reunited with Ailuo, who was managing the kingdom amid division and war.

• Tang San woke with his body covered in expelled impurities, and Tang Hao said the Soul Bone had reforged his bones, meridians, and muscles.
• Tang Hao told Tang San that his strengthened physique could withstand cultivating both Martial Souls and that he could add rings to the Clear Sky Hammer after the Blue Silver Emperor reached nine rings.
• Tang San discovered that his Soul Bone granted flight with almost no Soul Power cost, then returned the pale gold gemstone to illuminate the Blue Silver Grass.
• Cinderella traveled to Balak Royal City and contacted Ailuo, who agreed to have someone meet her at the city gate.
• Cinderella entered the divided kingdom's uneasy capital and was escorted through the palace to Ailuo.
• Cinderella and Ailuo greeted each other warmly, then sat together while dossiers and letters covered Ailuo's desk.

Cinderella visited Ailuo, who asked her to stay in Balak Royal City and help manage the kingdom’s affairs, but Cinderella left without deciding. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu traveled toward the Northern Frontier and considered detouring to the Far North to find out whether the Ice Snow Queen had become a god.

• Ailuo told Cinderella that Balak Kingdom had split and that she was struggling to manage the war effort and government alone.
• Ailuo asked Cinderella to stay in Balak Royal City and help her, and Cinderella said she would think about it before leaving.
• Xiao Wu headed north for the Northern Frontier, hoping to join the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and gain an opportunity to confront Bibi Dong.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Xiao Wu to visit the Far North and check whether the Ice Snow Queen had attained godhood.
• Xiao Wu weighed the short detour against the possibility that the Ice Snow Queen’s success could prove a path to godhood existed for Soul Beasts.

Xiao Wu traveled to the Far North to investigate whether the Ice Snow Queen had become a god, despite suspecting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was manipulating her. After venturing only a short way into the ice field, she sensed divine power rising and saw an immense, vividly colored aurora spreading across the sky.

• The Ice Crystal Snow Lotus urged Xiao Wu to visit the Far North, and Xiao Wu agreed to go and take a look.
• Xiao Wu reached the edge of the ice field and refused the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's request to go farther until he could report the Ice Snow Queen's condition.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm admitted he could not determine whether the Ice Snow Queen had become a god from the edge, and he and the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus persuaded Xiao Wu to venture a little deeper.
• Xiao Wu followed the ice field inward for about the time it took to eat a meal, then stopped as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed a powerful divine presence.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Xiao Wu to look up, and she watched a brilliant aurora begin spreading across the sky.

Snow White received the Aurora God's divine mark and became the deity's successor, beginning a divine examination whose true trials still lay ahead. The Ice Empress and Snow Empress learned that the Aurora God's domain did not conflict with the Ice God's, and the Ice Snow Queen revealed that she was close to inheriting the Ice God's Divine Seat.

• Xiao Wu, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the ice crystal snow lotus recognized the Far North's vast aurora as divine power.
• The aurora gathered on Snow White's forehead, giving her the Aurora God's divine mark and making her the deity's successor.
• Florian approached Snow White after the light faded, and she said the mark felt warm as they acknowledged that her divine examination had only begun.
• The Ice Empress and Snow Empress went to the Ice Snow Queen, who confirmed that a destined woman had triggered the Aurora God's divine examination in the ancient ruins.
• The Ice Snow Queen assured the Snow Empress that the Aurora God's Divine Seat would not affect her Ice God examination and said she would inherit the Ice God's Divine Seat within a few years or sooner.

The Ice Empress remembered meeting the Ice Snow Queen and struggling with the fear that the newcomer had changed her place beside the Snow Empress. In the present, Xiao Wu learned the Ice Snow Queen had not yet become a god and hurried to leave, while the Ice Snow Queen detected and pursued the person who had spied on her.

• The Ice Empress recalled how the Snow Empress introduced the Ice Snow Queen, and how she welcomed her despite feeling a quiet sense of loss.
• The Ice Empress remembered teaching the Ice Snow Queen and later accepted that she would attend when the Ice Snow Queen became a god.
• Xiao Wu asked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm whether they could leave, and he explained that the divine power belonged to an unknown inheritor rather than the Ice Snow Queen.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed that the Ice Snow Queen had grown stronger but had not yet reached a Divine Seat, and Xiao Wu decided to leave for the Northern Frontier.
• The Ice Snow Queen detected spiritual power probing her and sent an ice-blue ray after its source.

The Ice Snow Queen attacked Xiao Wu for probing her affairs, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used his shed husk to shield Xiao Wu from the first strike. When the Nine-Colored Deer Mark protected her from a second attack, the Ice Snow Queen recognized the Fairy-Tale World power and spared Xiao Wu, who left the icefield with Tian Meng.

• The Ice Snow Queen sensed Xiao Wu at the edge of the icefield and sent a powerful icy-blue pillar toward her.
• Xiao Wu yielded control of her body to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who formed a platinum barrier from his shed husk and blocked the first strike.
• The Ice Snow Queen gathered power for a stronger second attack as the barrier cracked and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm weakened.
• The Nine-Colored Deer Mark on Xiao Wu's neck released a golden halo that dispersed the second pillar.
• The Ice Snow Queen recognized the Nine-Colored Deer's connection to the Fairy-Tale World and withdrew her attack, sparing Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu confirmed with the exhausted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that they were alive and walked away from the icefield.

After surviving the Far North, Xiao Wu headed to Iron Gate Pass to join the Anti-Spirit Hall Alliance and get close to Bibi Dong. At the Soul Master Recruitment Office, she recognized Zhu Zhuqing, who was registering recruits.

• Xiao Wu recognized Zhu Zhuqing at the registration desk.

Xiao Wu enlisted in the Northern Frontier Allied Army’s Elite Camp after declaring her desire to avenge her family and fight Spirit Hall. A few days later, she watched Rapunzel tend to wounded soldiers and saw a resemblance to her mother, Ah Rou.

• Zhu Zhuqing registered Xiao Wu as a level sixty-six Soul Emperor and called her superior, Zhao Heng.
• Zhao Heng used a lie-detecting mirror to question Xiao Wu, who said she wanted to fight Spirit Hall and avenge her family without harming the alliance.
• Zhao Heng accepted Xiao Wu into the Elite Camp and gave her an identification token.
• After several days in camp, Xiao Wu struggled with homesickness but reminded herself she could not return before completing her goals.
• Xiao Wu met Zhu Zhuqing in the morning and learned that the golden-haired Rapunzel was caring for wounded soldiers.
• As she watched Rapunzel work, Xiao Wu saw her mother’s gentleness and beauty in the young woman.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed Divine Power in Rapunzel and told Xiao Wu that she was likely a god’s successor. Xiao Wu watched Rapunzel treating wounded soldiers and hesitated over how to approach her.

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm scanned the Soul Masters nearby and detected Divine Power in Rapunzel.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Xiao Wu that Rapunzel was likely a god’s successor.
• Xiao Wu reflected that she had encountered three Divine Examinations in only a few days.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Xiao Wu that Rapunzel had competed in the Soul Master Tournament as a member of Heaven Dou Team One.
• Xiao Wu watched Rapunzel tend to the wounded soldiers and struggled to find a way to speak to her.

Xiao Wu met Rapunzel in the Northern Frontier Allied Army’s wounded soldiers’ camp and learned that Rapunzel’s divine power was tied to healing and life. In the Balak Kingdom, Cinderella said goodbye to Ailuo and left the palace.

• Zhu Zhuqing introduced Xiao Wu to Rapunzel, who recognized her from the Soul Master Tournament and chatted with her before returning to treat wounded soldiers.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Xiao Wu that Rapunzel’s divine power seemed connected to healing and life, and Xiao Wu wondered how many powerful figures she had yet to learn about.
• Xiao Wu set aside her thoughts and went with Zhu Zhuqing to train.
• Cinderella told Ailuo she had decided to leave that day, and Ailuo wished her a safe journey.
• Cinderella and Ailuo embraced and said goodbye, then Cinderella left the palace.
