Chapter Summaries

Tang Wutong saw fragments of her other self being murdered and realized Tang San might eventually kill her, so she sought help from the God of Destruction. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao learned from Rong Nianbing that the Divine Realm had split into rival power bases, and Rong Nianbing intended to stay out of the conflict and leave.

• Tang Wutong saw her other self enter a black hole while Tang San's attendants pretended to panic, and concluded that they had murdered her.

• Rong Nianbing told Huo Yuhao that the Divine Realm had split into separate power bases and that he would not take sides, confirming Huo Yuhao's belief that his teacher planned to leave.

Huo Yuhao discussed the Divine Realm’s civil war and explained why he was raising Douluo Star’s cultivation potential while allowing its people freedom. He refused to let Little Angel Baby grow up, warning that her fate depended on saving the person she wanted to save.

• Rong Nianbing told Huo Yuhao that the God of Destruction currently had the stronger claim to being in the right and still treated Douluo Star as his Base Star.
• Huo Yuhao told Ye Guyi that he was raising Douluo Star’s energy himself because the process was dangerous, and urged her and Snow Girl to focus on their divine trials.

• Little Angel Baby asked Huo Yuhao if she could grow bigger, hoping to return to her adult form and help Zhou Weiqing.
• Huo Yuhao refused and warned Little Angel Baby that she would never save the person she wanted if she was condemned never to be reborn.

Tang San blamed the Goddess of Light for leaking his plans and punished her, while Huo Yuhao welcomed the God of Destruction to the Douluo Star Netherworld and asked him to help Little Angel Baby. The God of Destruction agreed to intervene, and Huo Yuhao began asking him for another favor concerning the Goddess of Light.

• Tang San suspected those who had been near Zhou Weiqing and accused the Goddess of Light of interfering with his plans.

• Huo Yuhao asked the God of Destruction for another favor, objecting to the treatment of the Goddess of Light.

Huo Yuhao gave the God of Destruction a proposed method for removing the Gu afflicting the Goddess of Life, then tested the strength of an ordinary Divine Official by sparring with Snow Girl. He concluded that reaching level 100 itself had not caused gods to suppress mortals, though Snow Girl remained astonished by the possibility.

• Snow Girl's empowered Ice Extreme Peerless sent Huo Yuhao crashing into a crater, where he coughed up blood and reassured her that he had no hidden injury.
• Huo Yuhao explained that he had used only the abilities of an ordinary Divine Official and concluded that level 100 itself had not caused gods to overpower lower-level Soul Masters.

Huo Yuhao asked Qian Renxue about the power of Tang San’s Guanyin’s Tears and compared it with the technique he could reproduce. He concluded that Tang San’s version had drawn on the Douluo Continent’s plane laws, while Qian Renxue said she had fought on because she could not abandon Spirit Hall and her grandfather’s legacy.

• Huo Yuhao told Snow Girl not to abandon her own path after completing Teacher Nianbing’s divine trials.
• Huo Yuhao asked Qian Renxue how powerful Tang San’s Guanyin’s Tears had been during the battle at Jialing Pass.
• Huo Yuhao demonstrated his own Guanyin’s Tears for Qian Renxue and Electrolux, striking a distant mountain with a crystal-like blade.

• Huo Yuhao concluded that Tang San’s Guanyin’s Tears had borrowed power from the Douluo Continent’s plane laws.
• Qian Renxue explained that she had kept opposing Tang San because she could not let go of Spirit Hall or her grandfather’s legacy.

After learning about Qian Renxue’s plans and the Angel Nine Trials, Huo Yuhao considered the nature of plane consciousness and offered Douluo Star two ways to change. Douluo Star chose to remain instinctive and transform under his guidance, while Huo Yuhao suspected that the universe had changed around the time of the spacetime turbulence.

• Qian Renxue said she wanted to revive her grandfather or free him to reincarnate, and confirmed she understood the Angel Nine Trials.
• Electrolux dismissed Huo Yuhao’s concern that Qian Renxue’s path as a White Mage would threaten his authority over death.
• Huo Yuhao warned the Douluo Star consciousness against acting recklessly and offered either to awaken its intelligence or guide its transformation while it remained instinctive.
• Douluo Star chose the second path, and Huo Yuhao resolved to ask plane consciousnesses beyond the Douluo God Realm about their nature.
• Huo Yuhao suspected that spacetime turbulence had prompted wider changes across the universe, then gathered elemental energy for Douluo Star through Huo Yutong and refined it into spiritual energy.

Huo Yuhao learned how the Tang Family and the God of Destruction’s faction had anchored their portions of the Divine Realm to different Base Stars, and Rong Nianbing warned him of the danger spacetime turbulence posed to Douluo Star’s ascension. After attending Kong Deming’s funeral, Huo Yuhao reassured Ju Zi that divine legacies would not lead to a new age of oppressive institutions because times had changed.

• Rong Nianbing explained that the Tang Family had abandoned the Five Elements Continent for the Vast Continent as its Base Star, while the God of Destruction’s faction remained attached to Douluo Star.
• Huo Yuhao asked Rong Nianbing which gods had followed Tang San, and learned that the Seven Elemental First-Level Gods and half of the Second-Level and Third-Level Gods had gone with him.
• Rong Nianbing warned Huo Yuhao that spacetime turbulence could destroy a Divine Realm, so Huo Yuhao resolved not to let Douluo Star ascend before the conflict was settled.
• Huo Yuhao attended Kong Deming’s funeral with Ju Zi after Kong, the father of soul guidance technology, died; few nobles came to mourn him.
• Ju Zi worried that gods leaving legacies in the mortal world would create more oppressive institutions like Shrek Academy, and Huo Yuhao promised her that times had changed.

At Kong Deming’s funeral, Huo Yuhao spoke with Jing Hongchen about the future of scientific research and visited Mingde Hall’s rocket launch site. After seeing a spacecraft launched with energy that did not rely on life energy, he learned that Douluo Star’s scientists were working to make humanity a multiplanetary species.

• Huo Yuhao attended Kong Deming’s funeral and comforted Jing Hongchen, who felt alone after his friend’s death.
• Huo Yuhao asked Jing Hongchen how Kong Deming’s project to replace life energy with light energy was progressing, and Jing Hongchen invited him to Mingde Hall.
• Huo Yuhao watched a rocket launch a spacecraft and detected no life-energy fluctuations.
• Jing Hongchen explained that the rocket used light energy and energy harnessed from the weight of matter.
• Jing Hongchen told Huo Yuhao that the scientific community planned to make humanity a multiplanetary species so it would not depend on a single planet.

Huo Yuhao comforted Tang Ya as she struggled with the collapse of her faith in Tang San and the Tang Sect, then discussed divine trials and Spirit Hall with Snow Girl and Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi rejected rebuilding Spirit Hall, and Snow Girl remained uncertain whether she could complete her trial.

• Huo Yuhao told Tang Ya that recognizing her misplaced faith could help her stop relying on illusions, and urged her to stand on her own for the people the Tang Sect helped.
• Tang Ya explained that she had depended on Tang San's name and felt her world collapse after learning he had been only a victor in an ancient struggle.
• Huo Yuhao praised Snow Girl and Guyi for reaching their Ninth Trial and reassured Snow Girl that Rong Nianbing would not have given them the trials if they could not pass.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ye Guyi whether she would rebuild Spirit Hall if she and Snow Girl shared a divine seat.
• Ye Guyi refused, saying the age of soul masters had passed and that she did not want to revive an old institution or perpetuate a cycle of hatred.

Huo Yuhao helped Ye Guyi reconsider the Angel Clan’s tendency toward self-blame, and she resolved to challenge the misconceptions in her own way. At the Divine Realm, the injured Goddess of Light questioned why she had been punished as the God of Destruction asked whether she still supported Tang San’s orthodoxy.

• Snow Girl argued that the story of Qian Yuhan cast the Angel God as a scapegoat while contrasting him with the Tang Family, and Ye Guyi reacted bitterly.
• Huo Yuhao told Ye Guyi that striving to be absolute could bring calamity, and she decided to try changing people’s misconceptions.

• The Goddess of Light recuperated in the Life God Temple and wondered why she had suffered punishment despite never coveting the Tang Family’s power.
• The God of Destruction visited the Goddess of Light and asked whether she still intended to stand with Tang San and uphold his claimed Divine Realm orthodoxy.

Huo Yuhao settled into the new Mental Divine Hall and discussed Snow Girl’s difficult divine trial before the Goddess of Light and God of Darkness arrived to leave the Divine Realm. The chapter ended with Huo Yuhao welcoming them and recognizing an opportunity for Xiao Bai.

• The God of Destruction concluded that the Goddess of Light would no longer stop him from confronting Tang San, while the God of Darkness brought medicine to the Life God Temple.

• Rong Nianbing brought the Goddess of Light to meet Huo Yuhao, and she explained that life in the Divine Realm had become unbearable for her.
• The God of Darkness said they would leave once Xiao Bai finished her business, and Huo Yuhao thanked them on behalf of the planet’s outstanding talents.

The Goddess of Light offered Ye Guyi her divine inheritance, while the God of Darkness chose Nan Qiuqiu as his successor. Huo Yuhao worried that Snow Girl would have to face Di Tian without help, but Rong Nianbing left the matter to her and Huo Yuhao.

• The Goddess of Light recognized Ye Guyi's sacred attribute and offered her the light-based divine inheritance, which Ye Guyi accepted after Rong Nianbing assured her it was all right.
• The Goddess of Light told Ye Guyi to investigate the hidden events surrounding Tang San's rise ten thousand years earlier and the neighboring 108 Life Stars.
• The God of Darkness praised Nan Qiuqiu's annihilation attribute and asked her to become his successor, and Nan Qiuqiu agreed.

• Huo Yuhao concluded that Snow Girl's life was not in danger because his relationship with Di Tian was better in this life.

Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu accepted separate divine trials, leaving Snow Girl alone to face Di Tian in Rong Nianbing’s trial. Huo Yuhao sought the Dragon-Slaying Saber as a way to help her, and Nan Qiuqiu led him to Liu Jindao, whose mysterious power suppressed dragon opponents.

• Ye Guyi worried that Snow Girl could not defeat Di Tian alone, while Nan Qiuqiu claimed she knew someone who could help.
• Huo Yuhao abandoned his plan to have Ye Guyi join Snow Girl and decided to find the Dragon-Slaying Saber, which could suppress dragons.
• Nan Qiuqiu brought Huo Yuhao to the rebuilding Earth Dragon Sect and pointed out a youth with an unusual ability against dragon opponents.
• Nan Shuishui criticized the youth for standing idle, while Nan Qiuqiu explained that he had been rescued years earlier and could suppress the sect’s dragon-affiliated disciples.
• Huo Yuhao approached the youth, who introduced himself as Liu Jindao.

Huo Yuhao asked Liu Jindao to help Snow Girl prepare for her final God of Emotion trial against Di Tian, then discussed his concerns about the future of soul-master cultivation.

• Huo Yuhao explained Snow Girl's trial and why he could not secretly lend her divine power or ask Di Tian to throw the match.
• Liu Jindao warned that Di Tian was a formidable opponent, but Huo Yuhao clarified that their contest would not be a fight to the death.
• Huo Yuhao told Liu Jindao he wanted to discuss the Douluo Continent's cultivation path and invited him to visit the Body Sect.
• Liu Jindao accepted the invitation and said they should discuss what made a cultivation inheritance orthodox or unorthodox.
• Huo Yuhao returned to his Spirit Temple, where Snow Girl cultivated and Baby played with Xiao Xiao.

Huo Yuhao spoke with Snow Girl about her feelings for him and the divine trial awaiting her. After learning Ye Guyi had accepted the Goddess of Light's trial, Snow Girl realized hers would be more difficult, and Huo Yuhao promised to give her a magic blade while asking her to spare the Beast God.

• Huo Yuhao reflected on Snow Girl's exceptional potential and reassured her before her approaching ascension to godhood.
• Snow Girl told Huo Yuhao she had loved him since he rescued her and gave her a human identity.

• Huo Yuhao promised Snow Girl an unusual magic blade to help her pass and asked her not to kill the Beast God.

Snow Girl reassured Huo Yuhao about the Soul Beasts’ understanding and questioned the danger of his plan to create a new Divine Realm. Meanwhile, Tang San traced the leak of his secret scheme to Tang Wutong, exposed her memories, and stood over his unconscious daughter, furious.

• Snow Girl explained that Soul Beasts with intelligence understood one another and did not casually fight, then reminded Huo Yuhao that her loyalties reflected her six hundred thousand years as a Soul Beast.
• Huo Yuhao apologized for overlooking Snow Girl’s past, and she asked whether his plan to bring the Douluo Continent’s living beings into a new Divine Realm was safe; he claimed he had a clever plan.
• Tang San reviewed how Huo Yuhao had refused to serve the Douluo God Realm and how Tang San’s secret interference with the Goddess of Life had nearly cost him Zhou Weiqing.
• Tang San traced the chain of events through time and space and summoned Tang Wutong to the Sea God Palace, accusing her of betraying him.
• Tang Wutong denied the accusation and challenged Tang San over the fabricated history of Qian Yuhan, so Tang San restrained her with a Divine Pattern and rendered her unconscious.
• Tang San viewed Tang Wutong’s memories and saw that she had informed the God of Destruction about his scheme; Xiao Wu nearly collapsed in rage, and Tang San ordered Divine Officials to escort her away.

Tang San interpreted Tang Wutong’s dream fragments as signs that enemies from his glorious future were interfering with the present, then summoned Zhou Weiqing to apologize and stage a punishment of Tang Wutong. Zhou Weiqing rushed to protect her, while both men maintained their pretenses before Tang San’s next move.

• Tang San brooded over Tang Wutong’s dream fragments and concluded that future enemies were trying to disrupt his plans.

• Tang San slammed Tang Wutong onto the floor and claimed he would punish her as an apology to Zhou Weiqing.
• Zhou Weiqing rushed to shield Tang Wutong and pleaded with Tang San not to punish her.

Tang San sent Tang Wutong into the Divine Forbidden Land, revealing his willingness to discard her once she no longer served the Tang Family. Huo Yuhao understood that Tang San had killed the Wutong Heavenly Essence Emperor on Falan Star as a veiled warning to him and Tang Wutong, while Tang Wutong’s loss of status stemmed from her inability to submit to Tang San’s plans for Huo Zhanji.

• Tang San dismissed Zhou Weiqing, then used his power to awaken Tang Wutong and send her toward the Divine Forbidden Land.
• The Golden Dragon King welcomed Tang Wutong as an offering and grew wary of Tang San’s willingness to sacrifice his own daughter.
• Huo Yuhao recalled that Tang San had killed the Wutong Heavenly Essence Emperor during the contest on Falan Star, sparing the Phoenix Demon Emperor as a message to Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong.
• Tang San considered the crystal dragon more qualified than Tang Wutong to be the Tang Family princess, but Huo Zhanji’s arrival ultimately displaced her.
• Huo Yuhao could carefully play the role of Tang Hao while raising Huo Zhanji, but Tang Wutong’s domineering behavior toward the child violated Tang San’s expectations and cost her standing in the Tang Family.

Huo Yuhao examined a New Testament brought by Nan Qiuqiu and concluded that the angel and light traditions in his universe were modeled on a world where the Tang Family held the place of the absolute one. He questioned Qian Renxue about Spirit Hall’s shift away from serving ordinary people, leaving him convinced that the angel sequence’s role resembled his own place within the Tang Family.

• Nan Qiuqiu gave Huo Yuhao a New Testament that Sister Guyi had found in the Earth Dragon Sect’s records.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the book described the actions of an absolute being and that its angel differed from the angel of Guyi’s martial soul.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that the former Divine Realm of the angelic Supreme Gods and the universe’s angel and light sequence had been modeled on the book, with the Tang Family occupying the absolute one’s position.
• Huo Yuhao met Qian Renxue in the Netherworld and asked how Qian Xunji had planned the future Spirit Hall Empire.
• Qian Renxue explained that Qian Xunji had redirected Spirit Hall toward gaining influence for Light Attribute Soul Masters, while its former charitable work and support for grassroots society had faded.

Huo Yuhao uncovered how the universe’s light-aligned beings were bound to worship the Tang Family and sought to free Ye Guyi and the Goddess of Light from that fate. Ye Guyi inherited the divine seat of light, while Huo Yuhao’s questions led her to doubt the values that had governed her world.

• After leaving the Douluo Star Netherworld, Huo Yuhao worried that the universe’s light-aligned beings were inclined to worship the Tang Family and resolved to keep Ye Guyi from becoming an expendable resource.
• Huo Yuhao went to the ruins of Spirit City, where Xiao Bai, the Goddess of Light, was transferring her divine seat to Ye Guyi.
• Huo Yuhao gave the Goddess of Light a copy of the New Testament and told her that no one was born to be a slave as she struggled with the backlash of her bright heart.
• Ye Guyi fused with the divine seat and became a god, and the Goddess of Light urged her to question whether her choices were truly her own before departing.
• Huo Yuhao asked Ye Guyi whether ending sacrifice and protecting life had always held true on the Douluo Continent, prompting her to confront its history of celebrated sacrifices.
