Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Huo Yuhao wakes to find himself on top of Tang Ya. After realizing she had been watching over him rather than attacking, he apologizes and asks to hear her side of the story.
• Tang Ya explains that her Blue Silver Grass martial soul can cultivate by absorbing life force. Though frightened of this ability, she has secretly drawn life from plants to strengthen herself, insisting she has never harmed anyone.
• Huo Yuhao believes her, though he remains detached and soon leaves. He notices Bei Bei nearby and reflects awkwardly on the situation.
• Huo Yuhao heads toward the Mingdou Mountain Range, intending to reach the Sun Moon Empire and study soul tools at its royal academy. He considers knowledge—and especially soul-tool technology—a crucial resource for his next transmigration.
• Once safely away from Tang Ya and Bei Bei, he returns to his spiritual sea and asks the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to explain its “God-Making Plan.”
• The plan relies on three gifts: a million-year soul ring with four powerful spiritual abilities and passive Simulation; an ice-attributed second martial soul; and sealed cultivation energy that can greatly raise the age and strength of Huo Yuhao’s soul rings.

• Bei Bei does not directly participate, but his presence prompts Huo Yuhao’s comic, uncomfortable reflection on what he witnessed.

• Huo Yuhao hesitates, wary that she might be dangerous, but chooses to save her rather than let her die.

• Huo Yuhao reappears in the body of his Six-Winged Blood Angel phantom, which has wandered out to sea. He chooses it as his destination because his other phantom bodies are in populated places: one is waiting near Shrek Academy, and another is working in Heaven Dou City.

• Ambition and risk: The pursuit of a powerful second martial soul and ancient soul relics carries significant danger.

Key plot points

• The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion remains trapped in the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s ancient shed skin, which is powerful enough to restrain even her immense strength. Huo Yuhao recognizes its value, though using it drains Tian Meng’s spiritual origin.
• Tian Meng explains his history: after escaping the Far North, he was captured and consumed by Star Dou Great Forest soul beasts for three thousand years, inadvertently nourishing them with the rare resources he had absorbed.
• He reveals why he trapped the Ice Empress: he wants them to remain together, and both face near-certain death from future heavenly tribulations.
• Tian Meng proposes “god-making”: he believes his power can give Huo Yuhao a second martial soul and strengthen his soul rings, enabling him to become a god and eventually resurrect Tian Meng. He wants the Ice Empress to become a Wisdom Soul Ring and help Huo Yuhao as well.
• The Ice Empress doubts the plan, noting how difficult godhood is and how little time humans have. She asks Tian Meng how likely it is to succeed, leaving her decision unresolved.

Character developments and interactions

• Tian Meng presents his coercive capture as an act of love, but his fixation is evident: he has made a life-changing decision for the Ice Empress without her consent. His traumatic past and fear of death help explain his desperation.
• The Ice Empress shifts from anger and accusations to cautious consideration. Though she rejects Tian Meng’s romantic framing and distrusts his scheme, her perilous position forces her to weigh it against the danger of her next tribulation.
• Huo Yuhao listens as he learns the full extent of Tian Meng’s past. He sees Tian Meng’s devotion as closer to obsession than love and recognizes how the silkworm’s plan could affect his own future.
• Their exchange is marked by a clash between Tian Meng’s hopeful ambition and the Ice Empress’s skepticism and insistence on knowing the odds.

Significant themes

• Love versus obsession and consent: Tian Meng calls his plan love, while the Ice Empress experiences it as imprisonment and manipulation.
• Fear of mortality: Both ancient soul beasts seek a way to escape the death brought by heavenly tribulations.
• Risk, hope, and ambition: Godhood offers a possible escape, but its difficulty makes the plan a gamble.
• Power and dependence: The Ice Empress is forced to consider relying on a human and Tian Meng’s scheme despite her desire for freedom.

Key plot points and events

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tells the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion that teaming up with him could give Huo Yuhao a 50 percent chance of reaching godhood. The Ice Empress sees this as an unacceptable gamble that would make her dependent on someone else.
• She agrees only to meet Huo Yuhao before considering the proposal. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm makes her golden cage transparent, revealing that they are far from the Far North, apparently at sea.
• The Ice Empress mistakes their sudden relocation for a godlike feat. Huo Yuhao clarifies that it was merely one of his abilities.
• After assessing Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress doubts that an eleven-year-old with modest cultivation has the talent to become a god. She also dismisses the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s plan as wishful thinking.
• Huo Yuhao admits he does not believe the plan can produce godhood, though he wants the powerful second martial soul, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone it could provide. He introduces himself as the plan’s true “core,” then claims he can become a god without either spirit’s help.
• To support his claim, Huo Yuhao reveals a Golden Fragment containing a divine aura, leaving both the Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stunned.

Character developments and interactions

• Ice Empress remains proud and fiercely independent. She listens to the proposal not because she trusts it, but because she is trapped and wants to judge Huo Yuhao for herself.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is excited and emotionally invested in his God-Making Plan, but overconfident about the Ice Empress’s willingness to join.
• Huo Yuhao proves more pragmatic—and more confident—than Tian Meng realizes. He has his own reasons for allowing the plan to proceed, but distinguishes those benefits from actually achieving godhood.
• The three clash over the plan: Tian Meng advocates it, the Ice Empress challenges its plausibility, and Huo Yuhao undercuts its promise before revealing evidence that he may have another path.

Significant themes

• Independence versus dependence: The Ice Empress fears surrendering control of her fate.
• Ambition versus realism: Tian Meng’s hopeful plan is questioned by both the Ice Empress and Huo Yuhao.
• Hidden power and evidence: Huo Yuhao’s claim initially sounds arrogant, but the divine fragment suggests he knows something the others do not.

Key plot points and events

• The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion (the Ice Empress) doubts Huo Yuhao’s promise that he can help her reach godhood. He shows her a fragment of the Light God’s origin and claims it will eventually lead to a divine trial, persuading her to proceed with her sacrifice.
• The Ice Empress gives Huo Yuhao her Soul Bone and Soul Ring, then becomes his Wisdom Soul Ring. Absorbing her 390,000-year torso bone causes extreme pain, but greatly boosts his cultivation.
• Her Soul Ring transforms into a 400,000-year ring, and Huo Yuhao gains the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion as an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. The Ice Empress now lives consciously in his Spiritual Sea alongside Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• Huo Yuhao returns to the Far North, where Ling Luochеn has already left. Since the Ice Empress’s ring belongs to his new Martial Soul rather than his Spirit Eyes, he still needs a mental-attribute ring for the latter.
• He and Sky Dream find a 3,000-year ice silkworm. Huo Yuhao absorbs its ring, then sets off for the Sun Moon Empire.

Character developments and interactions

• Huo Yuhao gains enormous power but remains cautious: his promise of eventual godhood is partly a persuasive tactic, and he knows the sacrifice leaves his life dependent on the Ice Empress’s cooperation.
• The Ice Empress moves from skepticism to trust and willingly sacrifices herself after seeing the divine fragment. Her transformation gives Huo Yuhao a powerful new Martial Soul and ring.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm guides the sacrifice and helps Huo Yuhao search for his next Soul Ring, while recognizing that he still knows little about Huo Yuhao.
• Ling Luochеn is absent when Huo Yuhao returns; he is disappointed to find she has already left.

Significant themes

• Trust and risk: The sacrifice requires mutual dependence, but Huo Yuhao remains aware that trust cannot eliminate danger.
• Opportunity and ambition: Huo Yuhao’s rapid rise highlights how pivotal opportunities can outweigh talent alone.
• Power through cooperation: His growing strength comes from bonds with powerful beings who retain their own consciousness.
• Deception for survival: Huo Yuhao exaggerates his prospects of becoming a god to secure the Ice Empress’s willing cooperation.

Plot points and events

• Shrek City is crowded for Shrek Academy’s annual admissions. Applicants need a recommendation from a city lord or someone more influential to take the entrance assessment. Although the academy publicly lowered its age-and-power threshold, it later removes many students it considers untalented.
• Huo Yuhao’s handsome Six-Winged Angel Phantom Body has spent a month working as an attendant at the Shrek Auction House, earning 1,000 Gold Soul Coins—mostly in tips.
• On his final day, he thanks Zhuang Yan, the wealthy inner-court student who hired him. She offers to provide a recommendation letter so he can apply to Shrek.
• He declines, saying he can enter without one.

Character development and interactions

• The Six-Winged Angel Phantom Body is diligent and charming, but also self-assured and determined to avoid unnecessary obligations. His striking appearance and angelic presence have made him a favorite of the auction house’s wealthy female customers.
• Zhuang Yan has grown attached to him during the month they have worked together. Though she knows he plans to leave, she is reluctant to see him go and offers practical help through her family’s influence.
• Their farewell is warm but tinged with sadness: Zhuang Yan recalls how quickly the month passed, while he expresses gratitude for her care.

Significant themes

• Privilege and opportunity: Shrek’s admissions process favors applicants with influential connections, while commoners are excluded.
• Institutional pragmatism: The academy presents itself as benevolent but prioritizes investment in students it considers valuable.

• The Six-Winged Angel Phantom Body waited in the enrollment line as Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu arrived in a tiger-drawn carriage and cut ahead of the applicants.

• Dai Huabin attacked the Phantom Body with his tiger claws, but the Phantom Body released a powerful aura as Huo Yuhao arrived.

Huo Yuhao overwhelmed Dai Huabin during the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s enrollment, revealing a Six-Winged Angel martial soul and leaving the admissions teachers eager to summon the dean. After punishing Dai, Huo Yuhao reaffirmed his intention to make the White Tiger Duke's Mansion pay.

• Huo Yuhao arrived when Dai Huabin attacked him and stopped Dai's tiger claws with his bare hands, crushing both without initially releasing his martial soul.
• Dai Huabin fired his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave at close range, but Huo Yuhao shattered it with a punch and used his Six-Winged Angel wings to shield himself from the blast.
• The explosion badly burned Dai Huabin's face, and Huo Yuhao kicked Zhu Lu away before pinning Dai's head beneath his foot.
• Huo Yuhao recalled the abuse he had suffered from Dai Huabin and vowed to make the White Tiger Duke's Mansion pay, while treating this victory as only a first act of revenge.
• The admissions teachers recognized Huo Yuhao's Six-Winged Angel as a legendary god-level martial soul and called for the dean.

At Shrek Academy’s admissions gate, Huo Yuhao crippled Dai Huabin and claimed he had awakened a six-winged angel martial soul with innate level 20 soul power. Convinced he was a rare god-level talent, the academy’s staff prepared to protect and recruit him as Du Weilun arrived to see him.

• An admissions teacher told Du Weilun that a boy possessed the legendary six-winged angel martial soul, and explained that he had injured the young master of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion.
• The admissions teachers approached Huo Yuhao to stop him, but he kicked Dai Huabin away and left him unconscious and near death.
• Huo Yuhao told the teachers he was an orphan whose martial soul had awakened in the Star Dou Great Forest, where he killed a hundred-year soul beast and discovered his soul power was level 20.
• The teachers believed Huo Yuhao’s story and decided Shrek Academy would protect and nurture him despite the White Tiger Duke’s influence.
• Du Weilun arrived and asked to see the boy with the six-winged angel martial soul.

Huo Yuhao enrolled at Shrek Academy after revealing his god-level martial soul and securing free tuition and a stipend. While exploring the academy and looking for Ling Luochеn, he clashed with his new roommate Molo over a bed and agreed to fight him.

• Du Weilun verified Huo Yuhao’s identity and martial soul, then enrolled him, waived his tuition, and promised him an annual stipend.
• Huo Yuhao mocked his supposed fear of retaliation after injuring Dai Huabin, and Du Weilun dismissed the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion’s complaint because Dai Huabin had started the fight.
• Huo Yuhao stayed at Shrek Academy to explore and look for Ling Luochеn, then briefly encountered Mu En in the new students’ dormitory.
• Huo Yuhao entered Room 108, chose a bed, and began setting out his bedding.
• Molo attacked Huo Yuhao for taking the bed he had chosen, and the two agreed to fight outside after introducing themselves.

Huo Yuhao and Molo began their wagered fight outside Shrek Academy’s dormitories, drawing a crowd that included Ling Luochеn and Ling Xiao. Molo revealed that his god-level martial soul had granted him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at awakening, leaving Huo Yuhao and the spectators stunned.

• Huo Yuhao and Molo went outside the dormitory building to fight, while Ling Xiao brought Ling Luochеn over to watch.
• Huo Yuhao summoned his Six-Winged Angel, doubled his attributes with Angel Shackles Unlocked, and attacked Molo with a soul-power sword.
• Molo planted the Molo God-Slaying Spear in the ground and revealed a purple thousand-year soul ring and a blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Molo told the crowd that his god-level martial soul automatically gained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at awakening, and Huo Yuhao questioned how anyone could absorb one as a first ring.

Huo Yuhao defeated Molo in their dormitory battle by unleashing the Angel Sword Art, then returned to Mingdu to register at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. After admitting he had never studied soul tools, he tried to persuade the admissions teachers to reconsider by revealing his twin martial souls and near-rank-thirty soul power.

• Molo used his hundred-thousand-year soul ring to create a spear domain, but Huo Yuhao activated Angel Shackles and boosted his abilities sixfold.
• Huo Yuhao fought through Molo's spear formation and blood threads, then overpowered him with a sword strike that nearly cut his throat.
• Molo admitted defeat, and Huo Yuhao spared him, telling him to reflect on how the fight had ended.
• Huo Yuhao left Qian Renhan's body and returned to Mingdu, where he hurried to register at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
• Huo Yuhao told the admissions teachers he had never studied soul tools, then revealed he was eleven, had twin martial souls, and was nearly rank thirty.

Huo Yuhao revealed his twin martial souls to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s admissions teachers, who brought him to Dean Lin Jiayi. He fabricated a story about fleeing war and seeking revenge on the White Tiger Duke, while Lin Jiayi recognized that Huo Yuhao was concealing his true background and decided to keep him at the academy.

• Huo Yuhao summoned his Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial souls, convincing the admissions teachers of his exceptional talent.
• An older admissions teacher carried Huo Yuhao to meet Dean Lin Jiayi, while the other teachers resented being left behind.
• Huo Yuhao told the teacher a fabricated account of losing his parents in war, crossing the Mingdou Mountain Range, and hating the White Tiger Duke.
• Lin Jiayi examined Huo Yuhao’s martial souls and the Lie Detector readings, concluded that his claims could not be trusted, and resolved not to let him leave.

After Lin Jiayi admitted Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Huo Yuhao met Meng Hongchen, who guided him to the first-year dormitory. He cleaned his assigned room and began meditating, only for his new roommate to angrily confront him for touching their belongings.

• Lin Jiayi waived Huo Yuhao's entrance assessment, admitted him to the academy, and agreed to teach him soul engineering.

• Huo Yuhao found his room was number 108, cleaned the dusty space, and put his roommate's belongings back in place.
• Huo Yuhao began meditating, but his roommate returned and angrily demanded to know who had given him permission to touch their things.

Wang Dong, the Clear Sky Sect’s female heir disguised as a boy, provoked Huo Yuhao to drive him out of their dorm. Huo Yuhao defeated her with his soul skills and began beating her until she cried for surrender.

• Wang Dong dumped her belongings in the dorm and picked a fight with Huo Yuhao to conceal her identity and claim the room for herself.
• Wang Dong revealed that she had disobeyed her fathers by choosing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and had passed its soul-tool entrance test by chance.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong agreed to fight outside, where Wang Dong summoned her Butterfly Goddess martial soul and displayed two soul rings.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Shock to stun Wang Dong, then attacked her with his Ice Empress skills and beat her until she begged to surrender.

Huo Yuhao defeated Wang Dong and compelled her to honor their wager, while Jing Hongchen decided to train Huo Yuhao despite knowing his identity was false. In Heaven Dou City, Huo Yuhao’s Glazed Divine Fire Eyes phantom body became a promising soul engineer before four strange men arrived and called him their junior brother.

• Huo Yuhao defeated Wang Dong in one move, and she reluctantly agreed to do whatever he said after losing their wager.
• Jing Hongchen watched the fight with Lin Jiayi, recognized Huo Yuhao as a genius with twin martial souls, and ordered Lin to train him rather than investigate his false identity.
• In Heaven Dou City, Huo Yuhao’s Glazed Divine Fire Eyes phantom body worked at Song Tie’s smithy and began learning soul engineering from the Level 6 Soul Engineer.
• The phantom body mastered the basics within a month, became a Level 1 Soul Engineer, and was taken on as Song Tie’s final disciple under the alias Ning Yuhao.
• Four oddly proportioned men entered the smithy, and their leader enthusiastically greeted the phantom body as his little junior brother.
