Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang woke from a dream in which Dugu Yan had become a deity and attacked him, then vowed revenge on her and Bibi Dong. Several days later, Yun Duo and Dugu Bo arrived in Nuoding City and saw how much it had grown under Bibi Dong’s rule.

• Yu Xiaogang dreamed that Dugu Yan wielded divine power to attack him and her allies, and he wet himself in fear.
• Yu Xiaogang woke, recognized the dream was false, and swore to make Bibi Dong and Dugu Yan pay after training Tang San.
• Bibi Dong sensed Yu Xiaogang’s intense hatred but could not locate its source, then considered hunting Soul Beasts to advance her Rakshasa God Trial.
• Yun Duo brought Dugu Bo into Nuoding City several days later and found it transformed, with orderly streets, shops, and patrolling Rakshasa soldiers.
• Yun Duo praised Bibi Dong’s administration, while Dugu Bo argued that her empire depended on force and would collapse without her.

Yun Duo explained to Dugu Bo that a hidden divine influence surrounded Tang San and Xiao Wu, so they should avoid killing them without certainty. After confirming Tang Hao had left Holy Soul Village, Yun Duo and Dugu Bo reached the waterfall cave and found Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor form.

• Yun Duo stopped Dugu Bo from attacking Tang San and Xiao Wu, explaining that Tang Hao might also be a pawn of a deity.
• Yun Duo revealed that Xiao Wu carried a concealed divine aura and a faint blood-red thread of Divine Power within her soul.
• Dugu Bo sensed the area and confirmed Tang Hao was absent, while detecting a faint Soul Power fluctuation in the waterfall cave.
• Yun Duo and Dugu Bo traveled to the cave behind the waterfall, where Dugu Bo scorned Tang Hao for leaving Ah Yin and her Soul Bone unprotected.
• Yun Duo and Dugu Bo entered the cave and found Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass form in the grotto’s center.

Yun Duo and Dugu Bo took the Blue Silver Emperor and her hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone from the cave, then left a taunting demand for Tang Hao. The chapter shifted back to Tang Hao meeting Tang Xiao as the growing Rakshasa Empire’s expansion left him worried about Tang San’s future.

• Yun Duo confirmed the Blue Silver Grass was the sleeping Blue Silver Emperor, and Dugu Bo searched the cave for her Soul Bone.
• Yun Duo uprooted the Blue Silver Emperor and stored her in his Hundred Treasures Pouch, intending to keep her alive until she regained her hundred-thousand-year cultivation.
• Dugu Bo found the iron box containing the Blue Silver Emperor’s right leg Soul Bone, and its restriction alerted them that Tang Hao might know someone had disturbed his belongings.
• Yun Duo carved a message on the cave wall in Bibi Dong’s name, demanding that Tang Hao either make the Clear Sky Sect serve the Rakshasa Empire or abase himself to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Dugu Bo stored the Soul Bone, and he and Yun Duo left Holy Soul Village.
• Half an hour earlier, Tang Hao met his brother Tang Xiao and sought to secure an invincible path for Tang San as the Rakshasa Empire expanded across the continent.

Tang Hao visited the Clear Sky Sect and urged Tang Xiao to help persuade the sect's elders to devote resources to cultivating Tang San, while planning an alternative path if they refused. The sect remained confident it would seize Yun Duo's Divine Inheritance after Xue Ye's birthday banquet and rise to the top of the continent.

• Tang Hao feared Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Spirit Hall's newly empowered Consecrated Elders, whose strength threatened him and the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Hao asked his elder brother Tang Xiao to persuade the Clear Sky Sect's Titled Elders to use the sect's resources to cultivate Tang San, who had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.
• Tang Hao planned to develop Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor to the Titled Douluo level so the elders would support his growth and help him obtain nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings for his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the Clear Sky Sect expected to take Yun Duo's Divine Inheritance after Xue Ye's birthday banquet and believed they would then dominate the continent.

Tang Hao persuaded Tang Xiao to consider a plan for Tang San’s future, then sensed that someone had tampered with his restriction near Ah Yin and rushed back to Holy Soul Village. Tang Xiao was left facing four Titled Elders who demanded an explanation about Tang Hao.

• Tang Hao proposed nurturing Tang San and eventually adding nine Red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Xiao agreed the latter plan was more practical.
• Tang Hao and Tang Xiao discussed the elders’ pursuit of Yun Duo’s Divine Inheritance and lamented Tang Chen’s disappearance and the losses caused by Spirit Hall.
• Tang Hao sensed that someone had tampered with his restriction in Holy Soul Village and feared Ah Yin was in danger.
• Tang Hao activated his Soul Rings and flew toward Holy Soul Village, asking Tang Xiao to look after Tang San.
• Four Titled Elders blocked Tang Xiao and questioned why Tang Hao had been near the sect, leaving Tang Xiao troubled.

Tang Hao found Yun Duo’s message blaming Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa Empire for the Blue Silver Emperor’s destruction, then set off for Hagen-Dazs Province seeking revenge. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Yun Duo and Dugu Bo unexpectedly encountered Bibi Dong’s party, where Bibi Dong deduced Yun Duo’s time-and-space dual martial souls and learned he had the Life God King’s favor.

• Tang Hao read Yun Duo’s accusation in the cave, vowed revenge on Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa Empire, and flew toward Hagen-Dazs Province.
• Yun Duo and Dugu Bo encountered Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo, and the others in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Dugu Bo’s remark about their hunting plans made Yue Guan suspect that Dugu Bo had spies in the Rakshasa Empire.
• Yun Duo identified himself to Bibi Dong, then wondered why her party had come to the Star Dou Great Forest instead of the Sunset Forest.
• Bibi Dong overheard Yun Duo’s thoughts about time, space, and fate, deduced his dual martial souls, and recognized that the Life God King had favored him.
• Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo reacted with shock as Bibi Dong praised Yun Duo’s rare talent and admitted she envied his powers.

Bibi Dong offered Yun Duo Hu Liena’s hand in marriage and the Rakshasa Empire’s throne to recruit him. Yun Duo declined the offer, saying that royal power meant little to him compared to becoming a deity.

• Hu Liena blushed and appeared infatuated when she saw Yun Duo, and Bibi Dong decided to use her feelings to try to win him over.
• Bibi Dong offered Yun Duo Hu Liena’s hand in marriage and said she would abdicate the throne to make him emperor if he joined the Rakshasa Empire.
• Yan reacted with jealousy and tried to oppose the marriage, but Xie Yue restrained him and warned that his actions could endanger Hu Liena and the empire.
• Bibi Dong glared at Yan as the others reacted to his outburst, while Yun Duo remained indifferent.
• Yun Duo thanked Bibi Dong for the offer but said he valued becoming a deity far more than gaining royal power.

Yun Duo rejected Bibi Dong’s offer of royal power but considered marrying Hu Liena compatible with his path to godhood. He challenged Bibi Dong to reckon with the gap between a Deity’s eternal life and a mortal’s limited lifespan, leaving her marriage proposal unresolved.

• Yun Duo refused to trade his future godhood for worldly royal power, and Bibi Dong praised his ambition before offering him the Rakshasa throne and the empire’s support if he married Hu Liena.
• Dugu Bo interrupted to reveal that Yun Duo had childhood marriage engagements, and Bibi Dong inferred that one was with Dugu Yan while noting Dugu Bo’s soul bones and connection to Yun Duo’s Divine Power.
• Those present reacted with shock when Bibi Dong suggested Yun Duo could use Divine Power to help Dugu Bo activate his Complete Martial Soul Bone Armor True Body; Chrysanthemum Douluo grew jealous, and Dugu Bo teased him.
• Yun Duo agreed that marrying Hu Liena and having children would not hinder his ascent to godhood, but reminded Bibi Dong that Deities lived eternally while mortals had limited lifespans.

At Dugu Manor, Yun Duo explained to Dugu Bo that he had revealed the Sun-Moon Continent’s Divine Inheritance to divert Bibi Dong’s attention from their weak allies. He left Dugu Bo warning that the Rakshasa Empire could overwhelm the Heaven Dou alliance, with only a handful of major powers able to make it wary.

• Yun Duo woke late and joined Dugu Bo for tea and pastries, prompting Dugu Bo to scold him for neglecting cultivation.
• Dugu Bo asked why Yun Duo had told Bibi Dong about the Sun-Moon Continent and its Divine Inheritance, and wondered if Yun Duo liked Hu Liena.
• Yun Duo denied having feelings for Hu Liena and said he had revealed the information because their allies were too weak to withstand Bibi Dong.
• Yun Duo explained that Bibi Dong would learn about the Sun-Moon Continent eventually, and that drawing her attention there could ease pressure on the Heaven Dou Empire and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Dugu Bo questioned whether the Rakshasa Empire could truly defeat the allied forces, but Yun Duo said only Qian Daoliu, the major empires, the combined soul master world, and partly his Time-Space Kingdom could make it wary.

Yun Duo warned Dugu Bo that the Rakshasa Empire likely had hidden Titled Douluo among the former four kingdoms’ royal families, and urged him to stay out of the war after repaying his debt to Xue Xing. They agreed the Time-Space Kingdom would deal with eastern invaders before preparing to attack the Star Luo Empire, and Dugu Bo proposed giving a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to Lingling.

• Dugu Bo counted ten publicly known Titled Douluo in the Rakshasa Empire against three in the Heaven Dou Empire and worried about the disparity.
• Yun Duo explained that Bibi Dong likely concealed additional Titled Douluo, possibly among the former four kings and their families, and Dugu Bo recognized the implication.
• Yun Duo asked Dugu Bo to move to the Time-Space Kingdom after Xue Ye’s birthday banquet and avoid the war, and Dugu Bo agreed now that he had repaid Xue Xing.
• Dugu Bo asked how Yun Duo would respond if Xue Ye requested aid, and Yun Duo said the kingdom would slow its offensive, defeat the eastern invaders, and then prepare to attack the Star Luo Empire.
• Dugu Bo handed Yun Duo a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and suggested giving it to Lingling because it suited her and Ye would likely pass it to her anyway.

Yun Duo stored the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and considered who should receive it, then began crafting Soul Tools while planning to seek the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. At Xue Ye’s birthday banquet and Xue Qinghe’s apprenticeship ceremony, Tang Yuehua’s students helped serve guests as the gathering began.

• Yun Duo considered giving the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to Dugu Yan rather than Ye Lingling because its skills better suited an assault-type Soul Master.
• Yun Duo reminded Dugu Bo that they still possessed the Blue Silver Emperor’s original body and could obtain another Soul Ring and Soul Bone in a few years.
• Yun Duo requested precious metals from Dugu Bo and began crafting offensive and defensive Soul Tools, while planning to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
• Xue Ye’s birthday banquet and Ning Fengzhi’s ceremony accepting Xue Qinghe as his disciple took place at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
• Tang Yuehua brought Moonlight Pavilion students to help at the banquet so they could practice etiquette and meet influential guests.

At the banquet, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, spoke with Tang Yuehua and offered to introduce her to Xue Ye. Tang Yuehua declined, choosing to stay outside the first circle and watch Tai Tan so she could prevent the Strength Clan from joining the operation against Yun Duo.

• The banquet’s three circles separated the empire’s most powerful figures, its ministers and nobles, and the younger generation, while Xue Qinghe oversaw the third circle.
• Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, thanked Tang Yuehua for bringing Moonlight Pavilion’s juniors and recognized her interest in the first circle.
• Qian Renxue offered to introduce Tang Yuehua to Xue Ye, but Tang Yuehua politely refused because of the risks posed by Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect’s presence.
• Tang Yuehua decided to go to the second circle and keep an eye on Tai Tan, hoping to stop him from joining the operation against Yun Duo.
• Tang Yuehua’s loyalty to Tai Tan and the Strength Clan outweighed her affection for most of the Clear Sky Sect, whose bloodline she knew made her a target in Heaven Dou City.

At Xue Ye’s birthday banquet, Yu Luomian suppressed his hatred of Salas while Sword Douluo Chen Xin confronted the Platinum Bishop over his interest in Ning Rongrong. Salas answered Chen Xin’s threat by defending Spirit Hall, and Yu Luomian silently mocked him.

• Yu Luomian endured sharing a room with Salas, despite blaming Spirit Hall for the destruction of the old Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Salas assessed Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin as threats to Spirit Hall.
• Chen Xin used precise Soul Power pressure to intimidate Salas and warned him not to harm Ning Rongrong.
• Salas protested that Spirit Hall acted honorably and would not target a junior.
• Yu Luomian privately sneered at Salas’s defense of Spirit Hall.

Yu Luomian and Salas exchanged insults over Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s decline, while Ning Fengzhi offered support to Yu Luomian. Sword Douluo withdrew his pressure at Ning Fengzhi’s request, allowing the birthday banquet to continue without further conflict.

• Yu Luomian condemned Spirit Hall and defended the future of the rebuilt Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as Salas mocked his injuries and age.
• Salas backed down from pursuing the dispute after Ning Fengzhi urged him to spare Yu Luomian for the sake of Sword Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Yu Luomian taunted Salas for being only a Soul Douluo and questioned whether he could speak for Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi offered Yu Luomian help, and Yu Luomian thanked him while remaining wary of the offer.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo to withdraw his pressure, and Ning Rongrong soothed Sword Douluo until he relented.

Yun Duo secured the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Xue Ye in exchange for Soul Guidance Technology blueprints to help the Heaven Dou Empire resist the Rakshasa Empire. He told Dugu Bo about the deal and his repeated sale of information about a Sun-Moon Continent divine inheritance, leaving the others curious about their conversation.

• Xue Ye calmed the tense birthday banquet by urging the factions to unite against Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa Empire, and Ning Fengzhi supported him.
• Yun Duo told Dugu Bo through Soul Power that he had traded blueprints for offensive and defensive Soul Guidance systems below Level Five for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Yun Duo explained that he had attributed the blueprints to a divine inheritance on the Sun-Moon Continent and sold information about that inheritance multiple times.
• Dugu Bo was shocked to learn that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a divine artifact and questioned Yun Duo about the risks of reselling the inheritance information.
• Yun Duo assured Dugu Bo that no one would find evidence, while the other guests noticed their exchange and looked toward them.

Dugu Bo disguised his concern for Yun Duo and Dugu Yan as anger at the Rakshasa Empire, while those present saw through his family motives. Yun Duo pledged to help Xue Ye resist invasion, leaving the court mindful of the divine power backing him.

• Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye asked Dugu Bo what had unsettled him, and Xue Ye hoped to secure another favor from him.
• Dugu Bo claimed he was angered by Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa Empire, then condemned their actions in a show of righteous indignation.
• Those present realized Dugu Bo was chiefly worried about Yun Duo and Dugu Yan, while Salas privately dismissed his motives as self-interest.
• Yun Duo took note of Salas's disdain and considered sending him to establish a Spirit Hall branch on the Sun-Moon Continent.
• Yun Duo assured the court that he would help Xue Ye prepare to repel the Rakshasa Empire, leading those present to consider the Deity supporting him.

At Emperor Xue Ye’s banquet, Tai Tan presented a suit of Deep Sea Silver armor, and Xue Ye accepted it while privately resolving to sacrifice Tai Tan for the Heaven Dou Empire’s interests. Bai He joined the empire and became its White Marquis as more forces pledged their allegiance, while Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi watched Tai Tan with regret.

• Tai Tan presented Emperor Xue Ye with a suit of Deep Sea Silver armor capable of withstanding a Soul King’s full-force attacks, and Xue Ye accepted it.
• Xue Ye reflected that Tai Tan had remained loyal to the Clear Sky Sect and decided that the empire’s alliance with Yun Duo mattered more than keeping Tai Tan.
• Xue Ye invited Bai He to join the Heaven Dou Empire, and Bai He accepted the title of marquis.
• Several other soul master families and sect forces joined the empire, prompting Xue Ye to promise rewards and celebrate their support.
• Tai Tan, Bai He, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao joked together about Bai He’s new title, while Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi lamented Tai Tan’s choice.

At the banquet following Xue Qinghe’s apprenticeship ceremony, Yun Duo waited for the Clear Sky Sect to take the bait while Dugu Bo reflected on his difficult past. Yun Duo joked that he and Dugu Yan would have ten or eight children, leaving Dugu Bo secretly warmed by the imagined family.

• Ning Fengzhi accepted Xue Qinghe as his disciple, and the guests celebrated before the banquet began.
• Yun Duo stayed at the banquet despite disliking the socializing because he wanted Tai Tan to report his location to the Clear Sky Sect.

• Dugu Bo teased Yun Duo to discuss having children with Dugu Yan, while privately anticipating the lively future.

After Xue Ye's birthday banquet, Yun Duo and Qian Renxue discussed Ning Fengzhi's attempt to match him with Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue's offer of help against the Clear Sky Sect elders. The chapter left them together under the moonlight as Qian Renxue opened Yun Duo's gift: a ring engraved with "Xue."

• Yun Duo told Qian Renxue he had rejected Ning Fengzhi's scheme to bring Ning Rongrong to his Time-Space Kingdom and arrange a future marriage.

• Yun Duo presented Qian Renxue with an exquisite ring engraved with "Xue," and she opened the box to inspect it.

Yun Duo gave Qian Renxue a divine ring made by the Life God King, and its left-hand placement raised questions about the feelings between them. After Qian Renxue insisted he would have to defeat her to marry her, Yun Duo kissed her, leaving her flustered and clinging to his sleeve.

• Yun Duo explained that the Phantom Spirit Snow Ring was a divine artifact crafted by the Life God King, with vast storage space and long-distance communication abilities.
• Qian Renxue accepted the ring and put it on the ring finger of her left hand, while Yun Duo grew embarrassed by the gesture.
• Yun Duo asked whether Qian Renxue understood the romantic meaning of accepting a ring, and she replied that he would have to defeat her if he wanted to marry her.
• Yun Duo asked Qian Renxue to lean closer, then cupped her cheeks and kissed her before she could react.
• Qian Renxue blushed and weakly pushed against Yun Duo while gripping his sleeve, unable to meet his gaze.
