Chapter Summaries

Li Chen defied Tang San’s order to surrender the Sun Moon Empire’s conquests, triggering the destruction of Douluo Star rather than let the empire become a god’s puppet. The Plane Spirit sent Li Chen and his companions ten thousand years into the past, where Tang San was fourteen, giving Li Chen a chance to change the future.

• Tang San appeared over the Sun Moon Empire’s army and demanded that it withdraw from the conquered territories and rename itself the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Li Chen challenged Tang San’s authority, then revealed Tang San’s interference in Huo Yuhao’s life and threatened to collapse Douluo Star with a Level Nine Soul Tool.
• Li Chen activated the Soul Tool, and as Douluo Star collapsed into a Black Hole, Ju Zi, Kong Mingde, Huo Yuhao, and the Sun Moon army stood by him rather than surrender.
• Douluo Star was destroyed, but Li Chen woke in a valley among his companions and learned from the Plane Spirit that they had been sent ten thousand years into the past.
• Li Chen realized he had arrived in the first Douluo era, when Tang San was fourteen, and vowed to change the future.

Li Chen and Ju Zi discovered that they had traveled ten thousand years into the past, bringing a small force and advanced Soul Tool technology with them. After learning they were near Spirit City, they began considering how to survive without being discovered by Spirit Hall.

• Li Chen revived Ju Zi, explained that the Plane Spirit had sent them to the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years earlier, and helped her understand the opportunity their future technology presented.
• Li Chen and Ju Zi woke their companions and learned that only two Soul Engineer Corps, a thousand soldiers, and a fraction of their weapons had survived the journey.
• Li Chen organized a camp and sent out scouts while he and Ju Zi went down the mountain to identify their location.
• Passing Soul Masters told Li Chen and Ju Zi they were in the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range near Spirit City and gave them food and Silver Soul Coins.
• Ju Zi questioned the histories condemning Spirit Hall, and Li Chen distinguished Spirit Hall’s support for Soul Masters from Bibi Dong’s actions before suggesting they return to camp.

Li Chen and Ju Zi’s group assessed the strength of the ancient Douluo Continent and their depleted Soul Tool supplies. They chose to avoid attacking Spirit Hall for now and prioritized gathering metals and deploying Soul Tool Satellites.

• Li Chen warned Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen that Spirit Hall had Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and powerful divine legacies, making a direct assault too dangerous.
• Li Chen shared his findings about the Top Three Sects and Shrek Academy, and Huo Yuhao concluded that no known protector of Shrek could stop them from targeting Tang San.
• Ji Juechen said he wanted to challenge Sword Douluo Chen Xin, hoping a formidable opponent would help him break through to Titled Douluo.
• Kong Deming and the others reviewed the continent’s powerful soul masters, including Tang Chen, while Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings left the strategy meeting.
• Ye Yulin reported that their troops had few Soul Tools remaining, and the leaders agreed to avoid rash action and first secure metals, Soul Tool Satellites, and Fixed-Installed Soul Tool Shells.

Li Chen prepared his group to approach Spirit Hall as a secluded sect and sent Zheng Zhan and Ye Yulin to negotiate while he used his Supercomputer Martial Soul to simulate options for his fifth soul skill. The two elders reached Pope Palace and were received by Chrysanthemum and Ghost instead of Bibi Dong.

• Li Chen agreed with Ye Yulin’s assessment and proposed trading Soul Tools with Spirit Hall to build their strength quickly.
• Li Chen told Zheng Zhan and Ye Yulin to pose as elders of a secluded sect, and Ju Zi organized the Soul Tool corps around the merchant-caravan cover story.

• Zheng Zhan and Ye Yulin introduced themselves as representatives of the secluded Sun Moon Sect and were escorted to Pope Palace.
• Chrysanthemum and Ghost received Zheng Zhan and Ye Yulin while Bibi Dong was absent.

Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan presented the Sun Moon Sect’s Soul Tools to Spirit Hall and claimed their sect was protected by a Peerless Douluo. Bibi Dong agreed to pursue cooperation while secretly investigating the sect and seeking to copy its technology.

• Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan demonstrated a Soul Guidance Milk Bottle, Lamp, and Water Heater to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, impressing them with the tools’ practical uses.
• Ye Yulin explained that the secluded Sun Moon Sect wanted rare metals in exchange for finished Soul Tools, and Zheng Zhan claimed their sect leader was a level-ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
• Ye Yulin privately told Zheng Zhan that Li Chen had instructed them to claim they had a Limit Douluo so Spirit Hall would not seize them.
• Bibi Dong told Yue Guan to treat the Peerless Douluo claim as true, cooperate with the visitors, and introduce the lamp and water heater in Spirit Hall’s name.
• Bibi Dong ordered an investigation into the Sun Moon Sect, instructed Yue Guan not to alert the Grand Worship, and demanded that Spirit Hall study the milk bottle and search for weapons of mass destruction.

Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan secured a soul-tool materials deal with Spirit Hall, while Bibi Dong ordered a search for the Sun Moon Sect after Gui Mei failed to follow them. Kong Deming took Li Chen and Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, with Gui Mei secretly following.

• Yue Guan agreed to supply Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan with materials for soul tools, and the two escaped Spirit City using their flying soul tools.
• Gui Mei failed to catch up with Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan, so Bibi Dong ordered a search for the Sun Moon Sect’s location.
• Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan reported the deal to Kong Deming and Ju Zi, who planned to build detection tools and seek more rare metals.
• Li Chen advised the group not to reveal the Sun Moon Sect’s strength, and Kong Deming suggested traveling to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts.
• Kong Deming brought Li Chen and Huo Yuhao into the forest, where Li Chen planned to obtain Chip Splitting and Huo Yuhao sought a mental-attribute soul beast.
• Gui Mei appeared after Kong Deming had entered the deeper forest and followed the group.

Kong Deming brought Li Chen and Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest to search for suitable Soul Beasts while Gui Mei secretly followed them. The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, recognized the Plane Spirit’s aura on Li Chen and sacrificed itself symbiotically, leaving Li Chen with a golden Soul Ring, the Eye of Destiny, and a golden skull bone.

• Gui Mei followed Kong Deming, Li Chen, and Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest and was astonished when Kong Deming rejected a twenty-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider and a forty-thousand-year Crystal Ore Beast as unsuitable.
• The Emperor Auspicious Beast followed its sense of powerful fortune until it encountered Li Chen and Huo Yuhao.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion mistook Li Chen’s aura for its mother’s scent and asked to enter his spiritual sea.
• Li Chen warned the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that the process could fail, but it chose to sacrifice itself symbiotically and became a Soul Ring while its soul remained in Li Chen’s spiritual sea.
• Li Chen gained the Eye of Destiny, which revealed enemies’ physical and spiritual weaknesses, and caught the golden Skull of Destiny.

Li Chen absorbed the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s Skull of Destiny, gained a new Soul Skill, and reached level fifty-four. After Kong Deming defeated a Silver Moon Wolf pack, Li Chen began a Soul Spirit Ritual to help Huo Yuhao form a contract with the dying Silver Moon Wolf King.

• Li Chen absorbed the Skull of Destiny with little resistance, gained its three skills, and broke through to level fifty-four, acquiring Chip Splitting.
• Kong Deming found a pack of Silver Moon Wolves and asked Huo Yuhao whether the fifty-thousand-year-old Wolf King would suit him.
• Kong Deming trapped the pack with Spatial Imprisonment and killed most of the wolves, but released the mother wolves and pups at Li Chen’s request.
• Kong Deming defeated the Silver Moon Wolf King, and Huo Yuhao prepared to finish it off and absorb its Soul Ring.
• Li Chen offered to help the Wolf King willingly contract with Huo Yuhao, then began chanting the Soul Spirit Ritual.

Li Chen completed a Soul Spirit ritual that raised Huo Yuhao to level sixty-three, while Di Tian learned the Auspicious Beast had left willingly. Near the forest’s edge, Kong Deming discovered Tang San chasing a Sky Titan Giant Ape carrying Xiao Wu, and Huo Yuhao demanded to fight Tang San himself.

• Li Chen persuaded the Silver Moon Wolf King to become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit, and she entered Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Spirit beside Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress.
• The ritual raised Huo Yuhao to Soul Power level sixty-three, and Kong Deming collected the wolf corpses before leading him and Li Chen out of the forest.
• Di Tian discovered that the Auspicious Beast was missing, but the Silver Dragon King told him she had left voluntarily and cautioned him against provoking humans.
• Kong Deming found enormous tracks near the forest’s edge and followed them, hoping to locate a powerful Soul Beast.
• Kong Deming and Li Chen spotted a Sky Titan Giant Ape carrying Xiao Wu as Tang San chased it, and Huo Yuhao asked Kong Deming to let him down so he could kill Tang San.

Huo Yuhao stopped Tang San from pursuing Xiao Wu and brutally attacked him, while Li Chen stepped in to challenge Zhao Wuji. The chapter ended as Zhao Wuji, enraged by Li Chen’s confidence, launched a punch at him.

• Tang San flew after Er Ming but encountered a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, which Huo Yuhao killed in one strike.
• Huo Yuhao blocked Tang San, used Spiritual Confusion to knock him from the air, and beat him while accusing him of killing him before.

• Zhao Wuji arrived with the other five Monsters and demanded that Huo Yuhao release Tang San.
• Li Chen stepped in to fight Zhao Wuji, and Zhao Wuji leaped toward him with a punch.

Li Chen crippled Zhao Wuji with his Thunder Sequence Hand Cannon, while Huo Yuhao and Li Chen faced the Shrek group over Tang San. Tang Hao arrived to rescue his son, but Kong Deming appeared and stopped his attack.

• Li Chen fired his Thunder Sequence Hand Cannon at Zhao Wuji, badly wounding him and blasting the surrounding group backward.
• Li Chen and Huo Yuhao realized the cannon had grown stronger because the air in this era held denser Soul Power, and Dai Mubai suspected the weapon belonged to Spirit Hall.
• Ning Rongrong demanded that Li Chen and Huo Yuhao release Tang San, so Huo Yuhao attacked her with the Thought of Dong Sword.
• Tang Hao blocked Huo Yuhao's soul attack with his Clear Sky Hammer and threatened Li Chen and Huo Yuhao, but Li Chen's Red Dust Protection Soul Tool activated.
• Kong Deming arrived and stopped Tang Hao's hammer strike.

Kong Deming confronted Tang Hao and demonstrated that his Silver Moon Domain could redirect attacks, overwhelming the Clear Sky Douluo. Tang Hao escaped with Tang San after detonating Soul Rings, but Kong Deming’s counterattack severed his left arm and leg.

• Kong Deming identified himself as an elder of the Sun Moon Sect and mocked Tang Hao’s claim to fame by citing his own and his juniors’ exceptional cultivation.
• Kong Deming spread his Silver Moon Domain and demanded that Tang Hao cut off his limbs and surrender his Soul Bones.
• Tang Hao attacked Kong Deming repeatedly, but the domain diverted every hammer strike and eventually sent Tang Hao’s own Clear Sky Hammer crashing into him.
• Tang Hao detonated two black Soul Rings and one red Soul Ring, broke through Kong Deming’s barrier, seized Tang San, and fled.
• Kong Deming’s barrier released the absorbed force and struck Tang Hao, severing his left arm and leg as a wooden box fell from his robes.

Li Chen and Huo Yuhao failed to stop Tang Hao from escaping with Tang San, but collected three Soul Bones from the battlefield. Li Chen extorted Gold Soul Coins from Zhao Wuji and Tang San’s companions, secretly tracking them with implanted chips, and planned to wait until the Sun Moon Sect had a justification to strike.

• Tang Hao escaped with Tang San after Kong Deming’s attack, leaving behind three Soul Bones that Li Chen collected.
• Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai tried to blame Tang San, while Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing reacted with disappointment.
• Li Chen demanded payment for sparing the group, and Zhao Wuji paid thirty-five thousand Gold Soul Coins to take two people away.
• Ning Rongrong paid another hundred and eight thousand Gold Soul Coins, but Li Chen initially refused to let her leave until she paid.
• Li Chen revealed that he had implanted tracking chips in Tang San and the others, then told Huo Yuhao they would wait for a just cause before attacking.

Li Chen and Huo Yuhao returned from the Star Dou Great Forest with several Soul Bones, including the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, while Gui Mei learned of Tang Hao’s connection to Tang San and the Sun Moon Sect’s location. Li Chen absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor bone, and Huo Yuhao kept the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances he had obtained from a Man Faced Demon Spider.

• Kong Deming regretted failing to kill the Sky Titan Giant Ape, and Li Chen explained that Xiao Wu was the third Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast they had encountered.
• Huo Yuhao asked about Tang San’s mother and wondered whether he could revive his own mother, while Li Chen kept Ah Yin’s location to himself.
• Gui Mei followed Li Chen, Huo Yuhao, and Kong Deming back, realized Tang Hao was Tang San’s father, and resolved to report the discovery to Bibi Dong.
• Kong Deming returned to the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range, where the group divided three Soul Bones: Li Chen took the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Ji Juechen took the left arm bone, and Xiao Hongchen took the left leg bone.
• Li Chen went to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, while Huo Yuhao retained the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances from the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.

Li Chen absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor’s right leg bone, then launched the first Soul Tool Satellite into orbit, giving the Sun Moon Empire the ability to monitor Douluo Star and communicate over long distances. The satellite revealed Spirit City’s rapid transformation, while the Five Great God Kings watched it from the Divine Realm in confusion.

• Li Chen absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor’s right leg bone, gained plant affinity, and reached level 55; Huo Yuhao gave him the Eight Spider Lances to absorb.
• Li Chen and Jing Hongchen planned Soul Tool High-Explosive Bombs, while the academy’s engineers adjusted weapons and Kong Deming prepared weapon cores for the Soul Engineer Corps.
• Li Chen completed the Soul Tool Rocket’s checks and launched it with a satellite aboard; the satellite reached orbit and deployed its solar panels.
• Ju Zi and the others celebrated as the satellite began sending images and enabling long-distance communication, including images of Soul Guide Circuits spreading through Spirit City.
• Li Chen accepted Spirit Hall’s likely claim to the technology, confident that the Sun Moon Empire controlled its core designs, while the Five Great God Kings wondered what the satellite was.

After the Soul Tool Satellite reached orbit, three God Kings secretly arrived in Li Chen’s Sea of Spirit, each intent on choosing him for a Godhood inheritance. Li Chen had already set out to investigate Sunset Forest for Immortal Herbs, while other gods began competing for Huo Yuhao and considering different successors.

• The Divine Realm gods discussed Li Chen’s Soul Tool Satellite and argued over whether he should inherit the Asura, Evil, Kindness, or War Godhoods.
• The Asura God, Evil God King, and Kindness God King left the meeting to compete for Li Chen, while the Nine Heavens Goddess and others went to consult the Destiny Supreme God about their chosen successors.
• The Ice God and God of Spirit each claimed Huo Yuhao as a suitable successor and hurried off to reach him first; the War God settled on Dai Mubai.
• At the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Li Chen celebrated the Soul Tool Satellite’s successful launch and told Ju Zi that they would go to Sunset Forest to search for Immortal Herbs.
• Ju Zi reflected that being with Li Chen had made her feel at home, while Li Chen went to sleep after the celebration.
• Three God Kings’ divine consciousnesses suddenly appeared within Li Chen’s Sea of Spirit.

Li Chen encountered the Asura God and the Evil and Kindness God Kings, who competed to offer him their Godhoods. He decided to pursue creating a Wisdom Godhood alongside their Divine Examinations, and the two God Kings agreed to protect him and wait.

• The Asura God appeared in Li Chen's Sea of Spirit and offered him the Asura inheritance.
• The Evil and Kindness God Kings arrived, warned Li Chen about Asura's treatment of Tang Chen, and drove Asura's divine will away.
• Li Chen told the Evil and Kindness God Kings that he wanted to create his own Wisdom Godhood to offer ordinary people a path to divinity.
• The Evil and Kindness God Kings warned that Asura would threaten Li Chen unless he also inherited their Godhoods or created a God King-level one.
• The Evil and Kindness God Kings offered to let Li Chen take their examinations at his own pace while developing his Godhood, and Li Chen accepted.

Li Chen began the Evil and Kindness God Kings’ trials and inspected Spirit City’s rapid adoption of Soul Tools before taking Yuhao to Sunset Forest. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong grew suspicious of the Sun Moon Sect’s influence and ordered Hu Liena to seek its technology, while Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan guarded the sect’s Core Magic Arrays.

• Li Chen completed the first three trials from both God Kings, which cleansed his soul and sharpened his ability to perceive good and evil.
• Li Chen surveyed Spirit City’s new Soul Tool infrastructure and told Yuhao to pack for a trip to Sunset Forest.
• Bibi Dong tried Hu Liena’s milk tea and saw Yan’s game console, then became suspicious of the Sun Moon Sect and ordered Hu Liena to send Spirit Hall members into its shops and factories to learn its technology.
• Hu Liena explained that the Sun Moon Sect’s businesses and metal purchases had created jobs for Spirit City residents, but agreed that Spirit Hall depended on its technology.
• Ye Yulin and Zheng Zhan refused to move Core Magic Array production to Spirit City and ordered that only trusted Sun Moon Sect members transport the arrays.

Li Chen and his companions traveled toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Meng Hongchen hoped to find an herb to suppress her poison, while Li Chen promised to help Huo Yuhao revive Dong'er if he became a god. At Shrek Academy, Tang San woke from his injuries just as Yue Guan surrounded the school to seize Tang Hao.

• Li Chen, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao, and Kong Deming set out for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well using their Flying Soul Tools.
• Li Chen revealed that he had received a God King's inheritance and promised Huo Yuhao he would help bring Dong'er back if he became a god.
• Huo Yuhao asked Li Chen to revive Dong'er only if he could take her to the Divine Realm, and Li Chen reassured him that he could receive a Divine Examination.
• Tang San woke after ten days unconscious at Shrek Academy and told Yu Xiaogang and Flender that the Sun Moon Sect had badly wounded him and Tang Hao.
• Yu Xiaogang vowed to avenge Tang San and showed him Bibi Dong's Papal Decree, while Flender urged them to flee.
• Yue Guan arrived at Shrek Academy, ordered it surrounded, and declared that Spirit Hall had come to capture the wanted Tang Hao.

Yue Guan arrested Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the other Shrek members, refusing to trust Yu Xiaogang’s Papal Decree until Bibi Dong could judge it. Meanwhile, Li Chen and four companions entered Sunset Forest, where they descended toward its poisonous Core Area to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Yue Guan found the injured Tang Hao at Shrek’s lodging and arrested him along with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others present.
• Yu Xiaogang produced a Papal Decree and demanded their release, but Yue Guan seized it and ordered everyone taken to Spirit Hall for Bibi Dong to decide whether it was genuine.
• Li Chen, Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Kong Deming flew into Sunset Forest, startling witnesses who mistook them for five Titled Douluo.
• Li Chen dismissed Xiao Hongchen’s concern about the Heaven Dou Empire and said Kong Deming could defeat any pursuers they might recruit.
• The group reached the poisonous miasma in Sunset Forest’s Core Area, and Li Chen handed out Soul Tool gas masks so they could descend safely.
