Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao confronted the Snow Empress in the Extreme North and offered information about Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in exchange for her protection and the Far North’s friendship. He resolved to stay on Douluo Continent and avoid becoming a god so he could escape Tang San’s influence.

• The Snow Empress ordered Huo Yuhao to leave the Extreme North, but he refused and asked to make a deal.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that he had information about Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, shocking the Snow Empress, Tian Meng, and the Ice Emperor.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the marrow could help the Snow Empress survive her Heavenly Tribulation, and she considered the offer seriously.
• Huo Yuhao asked to exchange the information for the Snow Empress’s protection and the Far North’s friendship.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on how Tang San’s influence had followed him despite his cautious choices and decided to remain on Douluo Continent rather than become a god.

Huo Yuhao traded the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow for the Snow Empress’s protection, then built the Spirit Pagoda and prepared to escape Douluo’s destiny by faking his death. Tang San believed him dead, but Huo Yuhao revived decades later and entered the Undead Demigod Plane.

• Huo Yuhao gave the Snow Empress the location of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in exchange for her protection, and she marked him so he could travel and contact her freely.
• The Snow Empress seized the marrow from the Earth Dragon Sect, restored her origin, formed Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores, and made Huo Yuhao an honored guest of the Extreme North.
• Huo Yuhao cultivated, built the Spirit Pagoda, and appointed Su Tong to lead it while arranging support from the Snow Empress and Di Tian.
• Huo Yuhao left the Spirit Pagoda and asked Su Tong to erase every trace of him, then told the Snow Empress they would meet again when the time came.
• Huo Yuhao and Electrolux began a plan to break free of his Son of Destiny identity by making him die and preserving his vitality with the Blade of Life Protection and Gold of Life.
• Tang San saw Huo Yuhao’s apparent death and dismissed him, but decades later Huo Yuhao reopened his eyes and slipped into the Undead Demigod Plane.

Ten thousand years after the Federation’s founding, Huo Yuhao began Human Form Re-cultivation and entered the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City to awaken his Martial Soul under a new identity. He left the awakening room registered as a Level Ten Soul Master, while the Million Year Heavenly Tribulation remained a threat he would have to face.

• Huo Yuhao arrived alone for Awakening Day, and the Spirit Pagoda staff member registered him as a child named Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao recalled becoming an Undead Creature ten thousand years earlier and explained that he had slept in the Undead Demigod Plane to avoid triggering a Million Year Heavenly Tribulation.
• Electrolux attributed the tribulation to Tian Meng’s unabsorbed origin merging with Huo Yuhao, while explaining that the origin and his sealed cultivation could eventually give him a foundation comparable to a Deity.
• Huo Yuhao entered the Awakening Room and told Tian Meng that registering at the Spirit Pagoda would give him a legitimate identity in the new era.
• Huo Yuhao rejected Tian Meng’s question about regret, then awakened his Spiritual Eye Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power Level Ten.

Huo Yuhao awakened an Innate Full Soul Power Spiritual Attribute Body Spirit and impressed Spirit Pagoda Tower Master Hua Yichen with his physical fitness and Spiritual Power. He agreed to join the Spirit Pagoda as Hua Yichen’s student, and they prepared to visit the spirit souls.

• Anya recognized Huo Yuhao’s awakened martial soul as a top-tier Spiritual Attribute Body Spirit and invited him to join the Spirit Pagoda.
• Huo Yuhao corrected Anya about his lack of parents and asked where to buy Soul Spirits, so she arranged tests before taking him to see them.
• The tests showed Huo Yuhao had physical fitness comparable to a Soul Grandmaster and Spiritual Power of three hundred in the mid-stage Spirit Connection Realm.
• Hua Yichen arrived, offered Huo Yuhao excellent support if he joined the Spirit Pagoda, and agreed to let him study the spirit souls in Eastsea City.
• Huo Yuhao accepted Hua Yichen as his teacher, and Hua Yichen took him to see the spirit souls.

Hua Yichen explained how Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit Contract and Contract Dissolution Method helped humans and Soul Beasts coexist, then taught him how to choose a Soul Spirit. Huo Yuhao selected an Ice Silkworm for its Simulation skill.

• Hua Yichen told Huo Yuhao that Inherited Soul Spirits had thwarted those who wanted to raise Soul Beasts in captivity, and warned him not to harm Soul Spirits.
• Hua Yichen said rumors claimed Spirit Ice Douluo had been the Ice Empress, and Huo Yuhao silently found the theory strangely plausible.
• Hua Yichen brought Huo Yuhao to a room containing Soul Spirits and offered him a seven-hundred-year Ice Silkworm, a six-hundred-year Purple Spirit Wolf, and a seven-hundred-year Silver Hero Beast.
• Huo Yuhao chose the Ice Silkworm because its ordinary appearance suggested it had an exceptional quality.
• Hua Yichen explained that the Ice Silkworm could grant Spiritual Attribute soul masters the Simulation skill, useful for support, deception, and escape.

Huo Yuhao used the Soul Spirit Contract to secure the first Soul Spirit slot for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and began cultivating in Eastsea City. At Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Leng Yaozhu discussed Huo Yuhao’s talent with her disciple Gu Yuena, who decided where she wanted to go next.

• Huo Yuhao enlisted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to take the first Soul Spirit slot during the contract ceremony, and a yellow soul ring appeared around him.
• Hua Yichen learned Huo Yuhao was an orphan and decided not to send him to Spirit Pagoda Headquarters until he was older and stronger.
• Leng Yaozhu showed Gu Yuena Huo Yuhao’s information and praised his exceptional talent.
• Gu Yuena recognized Huo Yuhao as the person Di Tian had mentioned and wondered whether he would affect her plans.
• Leng Yaozhu offered to send Gu Yuena to an academy after three years, and Gu Yuena began stating where she wanted to go.

Huo Yuhao studied the Spirit Pagoda and its Soul Spirit system while gathering information about the current era. In his Spiritual Sea, Tian Meng tried to impress the Little Ice Silkworm but was interrupted when the Ice Empress appeared and confronted him.

• Huo Yuhao reviewed books supplied by Hua Yichen and learned that the Spirit Pagoda still respected Soul Beasts' consent, while Inherited Soul Spirits offered descendants a path to greater strength.
• Huo Yuhao read about the Spirit Pagoda's leadership and joked with Tian Meng about Di Tian's position as a Deputy Pagoda Master.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to study Soul Tool books and reflected on his four first-ring soul skills: Spiritual Interference Domain, Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, and Simulation.
• Tian Meng pretended to be the Ice Silkworm Clan's million-year-old emperor and convinced the Little Ice Silkworm that he was its ancestor and was pursuing godhood.
• The Ice Empress appeared behind Tian Meng after he called the Snow Empress his disciple, then attacked him as he begged her not to hit his face.

Huo Yuhao reassured the Ice Empress that he intended to pursue Level 100 cultivation and explained that his soul bones had been safely sealed with his origin. Anya brought him cultivation resources and an invitation to the East Sea Auction, showing how the Spirit Pagoda was supporting him as one of its promising disciples.

• Huo Yuhao told the Ice Empress he would save his origins for a future breakthrough to Level 100 rather than use one to gain a soul ring.
• The Ice Empress noticed Huo Yuhao’s torso soul bone was missing, and he explained that Old Yi had sealed his soul bones with his origin among his soul spirits.
• Huo Yuhao sensed Anya’s arrival and went downstairs to meet her as she delivered a Storage Ring from Hua Yichen.
• Huo Yuhao found cultivation resources, three Spirit Ascension Pills, a Soul Ascension Pill, Soul Tools, and an invitation to the East Sea Auction in the ring.
• Huo Yuhao noticed the auction manual listed Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue and recognized that Hua Yichen intended to help strengthen his first Soul Spirit.

Huo Yuhao prepared to attend an auction with Hua Yichen, who discovered the remarkable power of Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection Sharing and felt jealous of his talent. They arrived at the East Sea Museum, where an Eight Star Saint Craftsman and a golden-haired girl had just stepped out of a car.

• Anya found Huo Yuhao immersed in books and went to remind him about the auction.
• Hua Yichen personally accompanied Huo Yuhao to the auction, explaining that the final item was precious and prominent figures would attend.
• During the drive, Hua Yichen advised Huo Yuhao to stay restrained and asked about his Simulation Soul Skill.
• Huo Yuhao demonstrated Spiritual Detection Sharing, astonishing Hua Yichen, who envied how useful the skill could be for mecha design and manufacturing.
• At the East Sea Museum, Hua Yichen sensed a special person as an Eight Star Saint Craftsman and a golden-haired girl arrived.

Huo Yuhao attended the East Sea Auction with Hua Yichen and met Mu Chen and his daughter, Mu Xi, as the auction revealed its final lot. The thirty-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit went up for bidding, and Hua Yichen realized the auction had been arranged with them in mind.

• Hua Yichen introduced Huo Yuhao to Mu Chen and Mu Xi before they entered the auction together.
• The group received masks and number plates, then took seats in the auction hall as Hua Yichen suspected the event was targeting him and Huo Yuhao.
• Hua Yichen won the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue for thirty million Federal Coins, while Mu Chen bought spirit fruits for Mu Xi.
• The auctioneer presented the final lot as a thirty-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant Inherited Soul Spirit and opened bidding at one hundred million Federal Coins.

At an auction in Eastsea City, Mu Chen and Hua Yichen competed for a rare Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit, which Hua Yichen ultimately bought for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao declined it, and after Mu Xi challenged his abilities, he said he was merely luckier than others.

• The auctioneer presented a Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit, and Mu Xi realized its Fire Attribute suited her.
• Mu Chen bid three hundred million Federal Coins for the Soul Spirit as a future gift for Mu Xi.
• Huo Yuhao recognized that the auction item was likely intended for him, but told Hua Yichen he did not need it because he already had the Evil Emperor as his Soul Spirit.
• Hua Yichen bid six hundred million Federal Coins and won the Soul Spirit, explaining that it was too valuable to pass up.
• Outside the auction house, Mu Xi questioned Huo Yuhao's talent, and he replied that he was not especially talented, just luckier.

Mu Chen learned that the Spirit Pagoda had arranged a Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit for Huo Yuhao, while Mu Xi blushed over her earlier remarks to him. Huo Yuhao received the Soul Spirit and Whale Rubber, then asked Hua Yichen about joining the Mecha Master Association to study a Side Profession.

• Elder Li told Mu Chen that the Shen Family had provided the Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit for Huo Yuhao, whose Innate Full Soul Power and Body Spiritual Attribute martial soul had earned him a Soul Douluo's protection.
• Mu Chen warned Mu Xi not to antagonize Huo Yuhao again, and Mu Xi remembered what she had said to him and flushed with embarrassment.
• Li Yucheng left after failing to secure an alliance between the Eastern Sea branches of the Forging Association and the Mecha Master Association.
• Hua Yichen gave Huo Yuhao a Soul Spirit Ball containing the Soul Spirit and explained that the Shen Family only wanted a ticket to the Soul Spirit Tower.
• Huo Yuhao asked Hua Yichen whether he could join the Mecha Master Association, and Hua Yichen agreed as long as it did not distract him from cultivation.

Huo Yuhao reflected on his efforts to reconcile soul masters and Soul Beasts, then absorbed Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue at the Spirit Pagoda. After hearing Hua Yichen and Luo Yanglu discuss how to motivate him, he reached out through his Spiritual Sea to the Throne of Eternity and Creation.

• Huo Yuhao told the Ice Empress and Tian Meng that the Soul Spirit Contract was his best hope for helping Soul Beasts and soul masters coexist.
• Two children nearly turned their Soul Spirit Balls into weapons for a duel before their parents stopped them.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue processed by Luo Yanglu, while Luo Yanglu and Hua Yichen discussed his calm temperament and the possibility of entering him in the Young Genius List.
• Huo Yuhao considered his own strengths and limits, then asked the Throne of Eternity and Creation to lend him its help.

The Lord of Eternity considered Huo Yuhao as a possible inheritor but told him to wait for the right moment, while Huo Yuhao focused on other ways to become stronger and pursue his plans. After Huo Yuhao cultivated with a Spirit Ascension Pill, Hua Yichen and Luo Yanglu were astonished when his Soul Power rose to Level 15.

• The Lord of Eternity decided to observe Huo Yuhao longer before choosing an inheritor and told him to wait for the right moment.
• Huo Yuhao realized the Throne of Eternity and Creation might eventually help him, but resolved not to rely on it and reviewed his other plans.
• Huo Yuhao asked the Ice Empress to return the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, swallowed a Spirit Ascension Pill, and began cultivating.
• Hua Yichen and Luo Yanglu sensed Huo Yuhao's aura rise and discovered he had reached Level 15.
• Hua Yichen reasoned that the Ice Silkworm Soul Spirit had mutated or gained a special foundation that produced unusually strong feedback when raised to a Thousand Year Soul Spirit.

After Huo Yuhao absorbed his Soul Bone and Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue, his first Soul Spirit reached the thousand-year level, and he revealed a Martial Soul Innate Domain. Hua Yichen arranged for him to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform’s Isolation Zone, where real Soul Beasts—or spirit souls—awaited.

• Huo Yuhao finished absorbing his Soul Bone and grew strong enough physically to rival an ordinary Four Rings Soul Ancestor.
• Huo Yuhao told Hua Yichen he would not hide his abilities on the rankings and asked to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to learn combat techniques.
• Huo Yuhao used a domain-like Soul Skill without activating his Soul Ring, and Hua Yichen identified it as a Martial Soul Innate Domain.
• Hua Yichen warned Huo Yuhao to keep some of his trump cards hidden, then agreed to arrange his entry into the Spirit Ascension Platform.
• Hua Yichen directed the staff to send Huo Yuhao into the Isolation Zone, where Luo Yanglu explained that its Soul Beasts were real, experienced spirit souls.

Huo Yuhao trained against Soul Beasts in the Spirit Pagoda's Isolation Zone and developed his craft as a Mecha Designer and Manufacturer. After seeing his latest work, Li Yucheng decided to confront Hua Yichen about his teaching and offer to take Huo Yuhao under his wing.

• Huo Yuhao entered the Isolation Zone's simulated Extreme North and recalled how the region's Soul Beasts had trained him through repeated sparring.
• Luo Yanglu arrived and watched Huo Yuhao use his Spiritual Interference Domain to gain the upper hand against a Thousand-Year Vermilion Ice Toad, which Huo Yuhao later let go.
• Three years later, Huo Yuhao submitted a Level Three Solar Soul Tool Energy Storage Device to the East Sea Mecha Master Association and received three hundred thousand Federal Coins.
• Huo Yuhao accepted more Level Three design and manufacturing tasks before leaving the association.
• The staff member brought Huo Yuhao's work to Li Yucheng, who criticized Hua Yichen for letting Huo Yuhao study several Side Professions and resolved to speak with him and take Huo Yuhao under his wing if needed.

Huo Yuhao agreed to enroll at Eastsea Academy as an ordinary student, with Hua Yichen promising the Spirit Pagoda would back him. He weighed the danger of encountering Tang Wulin and Tang San’s Divine Sense, then wondered why Gu Yuena had joined the Spirit Pagoda instead of going to Aolai City.

• Yu Zhen asked Hua Yichen to let Huo Yuhao enroll at Eastsea Academy, and Hua Yichen left the choice to Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao accepted Yu Zhen’s offer but asked to be treated like an ordinary student, and Yu Zhen departed excitedly.
• Hua Yichen explained that the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda branch would protect Huo Yuhao, who agreed that Eastsea Academy was a suitable place to study.
• Huo Yuhao considered the risk of Tang San’s Divine Sense noticing him through Tang Wulin and decided not to provoke it before he could handle Tang Hao.
• Huo Yuhao decided to focus on taking the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and wondered why Gu Yuena had joined the Spirit Pagoda without losing her memories.

Huo Yuhao proposed using Tian Meng's Soul Ring as a bridge to fuse his Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Souls, and tried to turn Tian Meng's former ability to grant a second Martial Soul into a Soul Skill. A White-Gold Soul Ring began to form, but Tian Meng warned that his weakened energy might not be enough to complete it.

• Huo Yuhao explained that his Martial Souls could be compatible because Tian Meng had enabled the second Martial Soul and provided a Soul Ring for the Spirit Eyes.
• Huo Yuhao proposed using Tian Meng's Soul Ring as a medium for a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and Tian Meng agreed to help.
• Huo Yuhao asked Tian Meng to solidify the ability that had granted him a second Martial Soul into the Spirit Eyes' Third Soul Skill.
• Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng used Spiritual Sharing and their intersecting memories to try to form a Soul Ring.
• A transparent White-Gold Soul Ring began to appear, but Tian Meng said he lacked the energy to construct the Soul Ring for the Soul Skill.

Huo Yuhao completed his Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, with Electrolux’s help and discovered it could connect his martial souls. Tang Wulin learned about an affordable way to obtain a soul spirit through the Spirit Pagoda, while Tang San’s divine sense worried that the First Generation Tower Master’s legacy was winning Wulin’s admiration.

• Huo Yuhao used Tian Meng’s origin to form his Third Soul Skill, and Electrolux supplied the power needed to complete the gray-gold soul ring.
• Huo Yuhao named the skill Heavenly Silkworm Transformation and sensed that it could help him perform a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique and possibly elevate his Ice Emperor Martial Soul.
• Tang Wulin learned that his family could not afford a Hundred Year Soul Spirit, but he chose to draw rather than ask Tang Ziran to borrow money.
• The Spirit Master offered to let Tang Wulin meet soul spirits that could choose a partner, allowing him to take one for a handling fee and repay the Spirit Pagoda later.
• Tang Wulin heard how the First Generation Tower Master established the Spirit Pagoda’s soul spirit and martial soul awakening systems, and Tang San’s divine sense panicked that Wulin was becoming impressed by the Tower Master.

Tang Wulin gained the recognition of a Hundred Year Gray Sea Snake Soul Spirit and signed a contract at the Spirit Pagoda. The Spirit Master gave him a valuable Spirit Pagoda storage bracelet, while Tang San grew wary of the Spirit Pagoda’s influence and Mang Tian regretted losing the chance to give Wulin a storage tool himself.

• A Spirit Master praised the Spirit Pagoda to Tang Wulin, while Tang San’s Divine Sense listened and blamed the organization for threatening his plans.
• Tang Wulin received the recognition of a Hundred Year Gray Sea Snake Soul Spirit, and the Spirit Master reported his apparent talent and possible special bloodline to a superior.
• The Spirit Master waived most costs and gave Tang Wulin a Spirit Pagoda storage bracelet, which Tang Wulin accepted after Tang Ziran encouraged him.
• Tang Wulin promised to repay the Spirit Master by obtaining him an even better storage tool, and Tang San’s Divine Sense became more suspicious of the Spirit Pagoda.
• After Tang Wulin completed the Soul Spirit contract and returned to Mang Tian, Mang Tian lamented that the Spirit Pagoda had beaten him to giving Wulin a storage tool.
