Chapter Summaries

Li Ming strengthened the Soul Engineer Academy’s research incentives and helped develop the top-secret Soul-Charging Treasure while using newly gained fortune to enhance his strongest soul ring. At the Moon Base, the Di Tian Hearts reached five hundred thousand years, bringing him close to fusing with his fifth soul ring.

• The Soul Engineer Academy awarded technical contribution points that Soul Engineers could exchange for technology licenses, renewing their empires’ support and spurring research.
• The academy developed the Soul-Charging Treasure, which stored compressed solid-state soul power, and Li Ming put safeguards in place to prevent its technology from leaking.
• Li Ming intercepted the fortune gained by the Space Soul Beast Project and infused it into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, strengthening Whale Siphon and the Demon King Annihilation Cannon.
• At the Moon Base, Li Ming saw the nearly five hundred connected Di Tian Hearts reach an age of five hundred thousand years, making him ready to fuse with his fifth soul ring.
• The Fate AI began stitching an AI spirit into cultivated brain tissue as Li Ming anticipated soul skills tied to the Di Tian Heart’s heartblood and dark power.

Li Ming completed a painless fusion with a five-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, breaking through to level sixty and gaining two new soul skills. He examined the first skill, Bloodline Dragon Body, and began learning how the ring had changed him.

• The Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion assured Li Ming that the perfected sacrifice program would make the soul ring fusion safe and painless.
• Li Ming used Nightmare on the Di Tian Hearts, and the AI Spirits burned their life and soul power to form a blood-colored soul ring.
• With the AI Spirit guiding the ring's power, Li Ming absorbed it for a day and broke through from level fifty to level sixty.
• Li Ming's spiritual power, physical attributes, and soul core strengthened, while the Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion became more solid and lifelike.
• Li Ming manifested his Space Station Martial Soul with five soul rings and discovered that his new skills involved heartblood and dark power.
• Li Ming identified his first new soul skill, Bloodline Dragon Body, which temporarily infused him with true-dragon bloodline power and transformed his body.

Li Ming tested his Bloodline Dragon Body Soul Skill and discovered that spending more Soul Power created a stronger dragon transformation. In his full transformation, his Soul Ring powers became innate abilities that he could use through his body and even through his space stations.

• The Fate AI explained that the Bloodline Dragon Body Soul Skill grew stronger with the amount of Soul Power used.
• Li Ming used a small amount of Soul Power, transforming into a tougher, two-meter-tall Half-Dragon before reverting to his human form.
• Li Ming spent all his Soul Power to transform into a three-meter-tall, black-scaled dragonlike form and tested its immense strength, speed, and defense.
• Li Ming discovered that his Soul Ring powers fused with his dragon body as innate abilities, letting him unleash Scorching Beam and Demon King Annihilation Cannon in new ways.
• Li Ming realized he could use spatial and devouring powers through his Bloodline Dragon Body, and that every space station could serve as an extension of those abilities.

Li Ming tested the innate Devouring Power awakened by his Bloodline Dragon Body and used his stored soul power to evolve into a high-level sub-dragon. He hoped to push the transformation further toward a true dragon as his soul power reserves continued to drain.

• Li Ming used a sea station to devour a sea soul beast and confirmed that Devouring Power could increase his soul power.
• Fate AI explained that his second transformation had raised his bloodline concentration enough to unlock innate powers.
• Li Ming poured more soul power into Bloodline Dragon Body, grew dragon wings, and learned to fly.
• Li Ming's body reached twenty meters, but he remained a sub-dragon despite the continued bloodline infusion.
• Li Ming realized his stored reserves might let him surpass the soul skill's usual limit, while his evolving bloodline made his innate powers easier to control.

Li Ming evolved into a pure-blooded true dragon and mastered the Dark Domain, a soul skill that could repel powers and trap enemies in a darkness without time or space. With half his soul power left, he continued strengthening his dragon body, while Fate AI urged him to try using fate power.

• Li Ming broke through a bodily bottleneck and transformed into a fifty-meter pure-blooded true dragon.
• Li Ming used his Dark Domain, discovering it could block senses and powers, briefly halt time, and erase the concept of distance, though powerful counters could break through it.
• Li Ming withdrew the Dark Domain and considered whether further bloodline evolution might let him become a dragon king.
• Li Ming poured his remaining soul power into Bloodline Dragon Body, and his dragon body began expanding again.
• Fate AI urged Li Ming to use fate power, believing his current state would help him gain new insight.

Li Ming saw through Fate Power that Purple Heaven City’s gathered Soul Masters could generate vast fortune and potentially increase his Fate Power. After reaching a hundred meters in dragon form, he learned to force himself back into human shape while keeping his Bloodline Dragon Body active, and used Fate Power to conceal his true nature more effectively.

• Li Ming used Fate Power to see Purple Heaven City blazing with Destiny Fire fueled by the fortune of its hundred thousand Soul Masters.
• Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion suggested that Purple Heaven City could help them command more Fate Power, and Li Ming realized he needed to gather fortune to increase it.
• Li Ming exhausted his Soul Power and grew into a hundred-meter black dragon, finding that further bloodline growth would require enormous amounts of Soul Power.
• Li Ming forced his dragon body upright and shrank it until he returned to human form without dismissing his Bloodline Dragon Body Soul Skill.
• Li Ming used Fate Power to conceal his Soul Beast aura and tighten the web of destiny around himself, making his extraordinary nature harder to detect.

Li Ming completed his transformation into a Bloodline Dragon Body and discovered that heartblood could still strengthen his dragon bloodline, prompting him to consider seeking the Silver Dragon King’s blood. After returning to Heaven Dou City, he severed the Silver Dragon King’s attempt to trace him and sensed another presence connected to his destiny.

• Li Ming realized Bloodline Dragon Body let him wield Soul Ring powers as flexible innate abilities, strengthening him beyond the limits of ordinary Soul Skills.
• He drank a vial of Di Tian heartblood and confirmed that it could still improve his bloodline, though its effect was weak.
• Li Ming considered obtaining heartblood from the Silver Dragon King to raise his bloodline’s potential toward Dragon King level.
• He ordered Fate AI to rebuild the Di Tian Heart industry, then used his space station martial soul to return to Heaven Dou City.
• Li Ming assessed his strength as comparable to a Titled Douluo and weighed options for his next Soul Ring.
• He sensed the Silver Dragon King tracing his bloodline, severed her connection with a blade of destiny, and then detected something else intersecting with his destiny.

Li Ming followed a fate-guidance thread to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where he confronted Dugu Bo. He trapped Dugu Bo in his Dark Domain and drained all of his Soul Power, leaving him helpless inside the darkness.

• Li Ming used his fate power to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and traveled to it through space.
• Dugu Bo emerged from the cabin, recognized Li Ming as the likely thief of his herbs, and threatened to kill him.
• Li Ming unfolded Dark Domain, broke through Dugu Bo’s Time Freeze, and plunged their surroundings into darkness.
• Dugu Bo transformed into his Martial Soul Avatar and unleashed poison, but the darkness swallowed it.
• Li Ming used Whale Siphon and his innate devouring power to overcome Dugu Bo’s resistance and drain all his Soul Power.
• Li Ming shrank the Dark Domain until it enclosed only Dugu Bo and left him trapped within it.

Li Ming explored the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and discovered two enormous dragon skeletons and a golden crystal containing a Dragon Soul. After the crystal destroyed his Space Station, he sought Gu Yuena’s help in Purple Heaven City and showed her the crystal, which visibly startled her.

• Li Ming sent his Space Station into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and collected a dragon claw, other bones, and glowing crystals from two giant skeletons.
• Li Ming found a golden crystal containing a sleeping translucent dragon, but the Dragon Soul opened its eyes and the Space Station’s screen went dark.
• Li Ming escaped to Star Dou Forest, saw that Dugu Bo remained trapped in the Dark Domain, and decided to consult an expert.
• Li Ming entered Purple Heaven City and located Gu Yuena, whose spiritual perception could no longer see through his changed power.
• Li Ming recreated the golden crystal for Gu Yuena, and her composed expression changed when she saw it.

Li Ming learned from Gu Yuena about the Fire Dragon King's lingering divinity and the dangerous dragon marrow of the Fire and Ice Dragon Kings, then considered how Fate AI might help him study their power. He planned to prepare before drawing the undying dragon soul into Purple Heaven City, while Dugu Bo escaped the Dark Domain and fled the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Gu Yuena explained that the Fire Dragon King's remnant soul survived through its divinity, warned Li Ming not to approach it without gaining its recognition, and said it might be possible to draw it into Purple Heaven City.
• Gu Yuena identified the crimson and ice-blue crystals as the Fire Dragon King's and Ice Dragon King's dragon marrow, warning that their violent power could help create a divine body but could kill anyone who used them recklessly.
• Li Ming considered using Fate AI to research the dragon marrow and produce a God-Rank Soul Ring, and decided to prepare carefully before drawing the undying dragon soul into Purple Heaven City.
• Li Ming assigned a Space Station to monitor the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then dispersed the Dark Domain's power and released Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Bo recovered from the Dark Domain, realized he had narrowly escaped death, abandoned his search for medicinal herbs, and hurried away.
