• In his previous life, Zhang Lan triggered a Data Duplicator Max while playing a computer game, and a flash of light transported him to another world.
• After the elderly Soul Elder who had raised him died, Zhang Lan sold his house for five hundred Gold Soul Coins and went to Shrek City’s martial soul awakening site.

Zhang Lan and Tian Meng traveled into the Far North and persuaded the Ice Empress to join Tian Meng's god-making plan. Zhang Lan then offered to find ten-thousand-year-old profound ice marrow for the Snow Empress, leaving the Ice Empress demanding proof and Tian Meng worried about the risks.

• Zhang Lan used the Star of Eden to shield himself from the Far North's storms while Tian Meng called out to the Ice Empress.
• The Ice Empress appeared and threatened Tian Meng, but he said he had come to offer her a path to godhood.
• After hearing Tian Meng's plan and learning Zhang Lan had reached level twenty at seven, the Ice Empress agreed to join and allowed Zhang Lan to call her Sister Ice Empress.
• Zhang Lan asked whether the Ice Empress could contact the Snow Empress, who was preparing for her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.
• Zhang Lan claimed he knew of a cavern with ten-thousand-year-old profound ice marrow that could help the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress warned that the plan would end if he was lying.
• Zhang Lan privately told Tian Meng he was ninety-eight percent certain of the location and hoped the Snow Empress would safeguard their plan.

Zhang Lan and the Ice Empress reached the Snow Empress’s canyon and learned that her attempt to form a second Soul Core had failed, leaving her with little chance of surviving her coming tribulation. Zhang Lan revealed where she could obtain ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Marrow and explained the Ice Empress’s role in Tian Meng’s plan to cultivate him into a god.

• Zhang Lan warned the Ice Empress that the Snow Empress might have reincarnated as a human and been captured, prompting them to hurry to her seclusion.
• The Ice Empress and Zhang Lan arrived at the canyon and heard a disturbance in the Snow Empress’s chaotic aura before she emerged.

• The Ice Empress told the Snow Empress that Zhang Lan knew where to find ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Marrow and that Tian Meng had returned with a god-making plan.
• Zhang Lan revealed that the Profound Ice Marrow lay beneath the Cold Spring in the Earth Dragon Sect’s secret grounds in Dragon City, and said the Snow Empress could retrieve it in human form.

Zhang Lan brought the Snow Empress to Dragon City, where he learned that the Heavenly Dragon Sect was threatening to absorb the Earth Dragon Sect. He planned to help Nan Shuishui preserve her sect so she might grant them access to the Cold Spring Secret Realm.

• The Snow Empress agreed to accompany Zhang Lan to Dragon City, warning that she would imprison him in ice if he had lied.
• Zhang Lan, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress entered Dragon City under the cover of the Snow Empress's icy mist.
• A vendor told Zhang Lan that the Heavenly Dragon Sect, led by Yu Tiankuang and another Titled Douluo, was pressuring Nan Shuishui's Earth Dragon Sect to merge with it.
• Zhang Lan explained that the Heavenly Dragon Sect coveted the city's dragon vein and the Earth Dragon Sect's resources, and proposed rallying other sects to support Nan Shuishui.
• Zhang Lan planned to save Nan Shuishui's sect first, then ask her for access to the Cold Spring Secret Realm in return for their help.

Zhang Lan and the Ice Empress and Snow Empress went to the besieged Earth Dragon Sect to offer Nan Shuishui a way out in exchange for something in return. After witnessing the Ice Empress’s power, Nan Shuishui welcomed the three as potential allies and offered the sect’s allegiance if they helped it survive.

• Zhang Lan decided to visit the Earth Dragon Sect with the Snow Empress while the Ice Empress covered them, after flames and battle cries signaled another move by the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
• Zhang Lan and the two Empresses slipped through Dragon City's battle-scarred northern district and arrived at the Earth Dragon Sect's gates, where disciples admitted them to meet Nan Shuishui.
• Zhang Lan described the Earth Dragon Sect's disadvantage against the Heavenly Dragon Sect and offered Nan Shuishui a way to break the deadlock in return for something.
• The Ice Empress released a flash of Titled Douluo pressure, startling Nan Shuishui and extinguishing the altar's incense before Zhang Lan calmed her.
• Nan Shuishui recognized the visitors' strength and offered to make them supreme elders or hand over the Earth Dragon Sect if they helped it survive.

Zhang Lan negotiated with Nan Shuishui for access to the Cold Spring Secret Realm in exchange for protecting the Earth Dragon Sect, then followed the passage token to the hidden entrance. He and the Ice Empress and Snow Empress opened the concealed passage, leaving the secret realm ahead of them.

• Zhang Lan told Nan Shuishui he needed to reach the secret realm’s ice soul domain and take ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow.
• Nan Shuishui agreed to let Zhang Lan enter if he compensated the sect, kept the realm’s secrets, and treated their arrangement as a trade rather than charity.
• Zhang Lan and Nan Shuishui swore their agreement on their Martial Souls, and she gave him the passage token.
• Zhang Lan promised to answer within three days whether he could deal with Yu Tiankuang, then left with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
• Zhang Lan followed the token’s directions to a blind alley, where its light opened a hidden passage in a stone wall.

Zhang Lan and the Snow Empress and Ice Empress found fifty-nine pieces of ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Marrow in the cold spring, then took three pieces for Nan Shuishui. Zhang Lan led Nan Shuishui and a force from the Earth Dragon Sect to the Heavenly Dragon Sect, where they found its encampment sealed beneath a dark red barrier and lightning still raging inside.

• The Snow Empress found the hidden ice cave, where the Ice Empress counted fifty-nine pieces of ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Zhang Lan reassured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that he had another way to obtain a second martial soul, and the group collected three pieces for Nan Shuishui.
• Zhang Lan returned to the Earth Dragon Sect and asked Nan Shuishui to bring her disciples to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's encampment.
• The Ice Empress sensed chaotic soul power at the encampment, including Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon energy and another dense, lightning-like substance.
• Zhang Lan, Nan Shuishui, and twenty Earth Dragon Sect disciples reached the encampment and found it enclosed by a dark red barrier with lightning flashing within.

Zhang Lan, Nan Shuishui, and the Ice Empress found the Heavenly Dragon Sect slaughtered beneath a blood-colored formation, with Nether Thunder Douluo standing over the corpse of its sect master, Yu Tiankuang. The Ice Empress attacked Nether Thunder Douluo, but his Level 9 Soul Tool helped him repel her first strike.

• Nan Shuishui recognized that the blood-colored barrier was not the Heavenly Dragon Sect's formation, and the Ice Empress identified it as an Evil Soul Master's work fueled by living people's Soul Power.
• Zhang Lan used the Star of Eden to crack and destroy the barrier, revealing the slaughtered Heavenly Dragon Sect and Nether Thunder Douluo holding Yu Tiankuang's corpse.
• Nan Shuishui recognized Nether Thunder Douluo, the Holy Spirit Cult's third elder, and asked why he had come.
• The Ice Empress attacked Nether Thunder Douluo, but he used a bronze Level 9 Soul Tool to amplify and reflect her strike.
• The Ice Empress froze and shattered the lightning from the mirror, but Nether Thunder Douluo retreated and discarded Yu Tiankuang's corpse.

Ice Empress fought Nether Thunder Douluo until Snow Empress killed him with a thread of ice, ending the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s threat to the Earth Dragon Sect. Nan Shuishui secured the defeated sect’s resources and public support, while Zhang Lan and his companions settled into the Earth Dragon Sect and Zhang Lan continued cultivating.

• Ice Empress battled Nether Thunder Douluo, who recognized her as a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old and kept fighting with power amplified by his bronze mirror.
• Snow Empress pierced Nether Thunder Douluo’s heart with a thread of ice, killing him and shattering the bronze mirror.
• Zhang Lan watched Nan Shuishui and the Earth Dragon Sect disciples as the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s defeat ended their crisis.
• Nan Shuishui returned Nether Thunder Douluo’s corpse and the shattered Level 9 Soul Tool to the Earth Dragon Sect and sealed them away.
• Nan Shuishui submitted evidence of the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Earth Dragon Sect took control of its resources and became Dragon City’s greatest power.
• Zhang Lan and his companions settled into the Earth Dragon Sect, where Zhang Lan continued cultivating with the help of the Star of Eden’s gravity.

Zhang Lan prepared to leave Dragon City to hunt for his second soul ring and return to the Far North with the ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow. Nan Shuishui brought her daughter Nan Qiuqiu to ask about a soul beast that could strengthen the annihilation mutation in her martial soul, and Zhang Lan suggested a dangerous rift valley north of Northreach Pass.

• Zhang Lan cultivated until a soul power vortex began forming in his dantian, and Tian Meng said his reserves were nearly equal to a Soul King's.
• Zhang Lan and Tian Meng agreed it was time to leave Dragon City and seek his second soul ring before heading to the Far North.
• Nan Shuishui introduced her seven-year-old daughter, Nan Qiuqiu, whose Rouge Dragon martial soul had a faint annihilation mutation and had just reached level ten.
• Zhang Lan described the Voidmark Moths in a warped rift valley north of Northreach Pass and suggested their disruptive force fields might strengthen Nan Qiuqiu's mutation.
• Nan Shuishui worried about sending Nan Qiuqiu on a two- or three-month journey with Zhang Lan, and said she would not feel at ease about her traveling far from home for the first time.

Zhang Lan led Nan Qiuqiu, Nan Shuishui, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress to a rift in the Far North to hunt a Voidmark Moth for Nan Qiuqiu’s first Soul Ring. After Zhang Lan trapped and weakened a moth, Nan Qiuqiu prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

• Nan Shuishui agreed to join Zhang Lan’s journey with Nan Qiuqiu, and Zhang Lan set the group’s departure for three days later.
• The group traveled north from Dragon City and searched for four days before Nan Qiuqiu spotted the mist-covered rift northeast of Northreach Pass.
• Zhang Lan identified the rift as a Voidmark Moth nesting ground and waited with the others until dusk to descend.
• At about fifty zhang deep, Zhang Lan lured a Voidmark Moth from its nest and trapped it in his gravitational dome.
• Zhang Lan weakened the moth and told Nan Qiuqiu to prepare to finish it with her spectral dragon claw.

Nan Qiuqiu absorbed a Voidmark Moth Soul Ring, then Zhang Lan gained a domain Soul Skill from another moth. Their search revealed the remains of an ancient Annihilation Rouge Dragon, which the Ice Empress condensed into a small torso bone.

• Nan Qiuqiu absorbed the Voidmark Moth’s Soul Ring, and Nan Shuishui stabilized her.
• Zhang Lan absorbed a Soul Ring from a five-thousand-year-old Voidmark Moth and gained the Void-Trace Domain.
• Zhang Lan sensed a powerful presence beneath the rift, and Nan Shuishui recognized the remains as an Annihilation Rouge Dragon.
• The Ice Empress opened the ground and lifted the enormous dragon skeleton from its hollow.
• The Ice Empress compressed the skeleton into a small purplish-brown torso bone.

Zhang Lan gave Nan Shuishui the 200,000-year Annihilation Rouge Dragon trunk bone for Nan Qiuqiu and announced that he would found a faction called Anti-Entropy. He left with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to continue north, while Nan Shuishui agreed to tell the Earth Dragon Sect about the new faction.

• The Ice Empress gave Zhang Lan the Annihilation Rouge Dragon trunk bone, and Nan Shuishui watched as he put it away.
• Zhang Lan considered Nan Qiuqiu's talent and decided she would be the first person in his future faction.
• Zhang Lan gave Nan Shuishui the trunk bone for Nan Qiuqiu, explaining that he wanted a stronger one for himself.
• Nan Shuishui pledged the Earth Dragon Sect's support, and Zhang Lan told her to call him Alliance Leader and announced the faction's name: Anti-Entropy.
• Zhang Lan invited the Earth Dragon Sect's members to join Anti-Entropy without forcing them to change their allegiance, then headed north with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

Zhang Lan escorted Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu to the edge of the Far North before entering its core with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress. As the two prepared to go into seclusion, the Ice Bear King arrived to guard them, and Zhang Lan waited with the final rod of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow.

• Nan Shuishui agreed to prepare for Anti-Entropy after returning to stabilize the Earth Dragon Sect, then left the Far North with Nan Qiuqiu.
• Zhang Lan entered the core of the Far North with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who quickly regained their strength in their home domain.
• The Ice Empress and Snow Empress used two rods of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow to make separate ice chambers and began preparing for seclusion.
• The Snow Empress summoned Xiao Bai, the Ice Bear King, and asked him to guard the chambers while she was in seclusion.
• The Snow Empress gave Xiao Bai a small piece of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow as payment, and Zhang Lan sat nearby examining the final rod he had kept.

Zhang Lan spent a year cultivating in the Far North, reaching rank thirty while waiting for the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to recover. In his Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious bead awakened and Electrolux appeared before him.

• Zhang Lan discussed building Anti-Entropy in the Far North with Tian Meng and recognized that he would eventually need the Ice Bear King's support.
• Zhang Lan cultivated for a year behind the Ice Bear King’s watch, using the Star of Eden’s Gravity Dome to absorb the Far North’s dense soul power.
• Zhang Lan reached rank thirty and waited for the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to emerge from seclusion, observing signs of their recovery.
• Zhang Lan told Tian Meng that the gray bead in his Sea of Consciousness contained the remnant soul of Electrolux, a powerful being from another world.
• The bead awakened, and Electrolux’s luminous form appeared in Zhang Lan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Electrolux emerged in Zhang Lan’s Sea of Consciousness and agreed to develop a soul spirit contract after Zhang Lan declined his necromancer legacy. The Ice Empress then broke out of seclusion with wildly unstable soul power and raced south, away from the Snow Empress.

• Electrolux appeared in Zhang Lan’s Sea of Consciousness and offered him the mantle of the Holy Necromancer, but Zhang Lan declined because he wanted to follow his own path.
• Zhang Lan explained his plan to systematize soul spirit contracts, and Electrolux agreed to work out a framework while studying more cases.
• Electrolux returned to the gray bead and told Zhang Lan that the Ice Empress and Snow Empress were about to emerge from seclusion.
• The Ice Empress shattered her ice barrier and, after answering the Snow Empress, raced south as her soul power surged out of control.

The Ice Empress survived her four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, while the Snow Empress completed her Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. A far more powerful black lightning tribulation then began falling on the Snow Empress, leaving her enduring its opening strikes.

• The Ice Empress ran several miles from the Snow Empress’s ice chamber to face her Heavenly Tribulation.
• The Ice Empress withstood a prolonged barrage of purple lightning and returned with her cultivation advanced to four hundred thousand years.
• The Snow Empress’s ice chamber bloomed open, revealing her completed blue-and-red Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores.
• Dark clouds gathered over the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress moved Zhang Lan and the Ice Bear King farther away.
• The Snow Empress met the first black lightning bolt with her Soul Core and held firm as successive strikes grew stronger.

After completing her seven-hundred-thousand-year breakthrough, the Snow Empress joined Zhang Lan and the Ice Empress on a journey to Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They discovered that poison mist and deliberately planted flowers had turned the forest into an apparent private stronghold, and the Ice Empress condemned whoever had driven out or killed its older soul beasts.

• The Snow Empress survived the final black lightning bolt, completed her breakthrough, and asked Zhang Lan to call her Sister Xue'er.
• At Zhang Lan's suggestion, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress left the Far North with him, leaving the Ice Bear King to guard their domain.
• The three reached Sunset Forest and found it shrouded in poisonous mist, so the Snow Empress used her spiritual power to guide them toward its source.
• They passed through the poison mist and found a gorge entrance ringed with Jade-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flowers planted in an unnaturally orderly formation.
• The Ice Empress concluded that someone had used the flowers and poison mist to keep people out, while driving away or hunting the forest's older soul beasts.

Zhang Lan, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, where they encountered plant-type soul beasts guarding the area. Snow Empress attacked the Aromatic Silk Beauty and Infernal Delicate Apricot after they refused to let the group enter, leaving the Aromatic Silk Beauty badly weakened.

• Snow Empress led Zhang Lan and Ice Empress through the canyon while her soul power dispersed the Ninefold Jade-Scaled Flower's toxic mist.
• Zhang Lan sensed something dense beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Ice Empress noticed that someone had tended the canyon's plants.
• The Aromatic Silk Beauty, whom the Infernal Delicate Apricot called Youyou, warned the visitors that the well belonged to a lord and ordered them to leave.
• The Infernal Delicate Apricot insisted that the lord had forbidden anyone but his chosen person from entering, and Snow Empress looked to Zhang Lan for a decision.
• After Zhang Lan nodded, Snow Empress swung her ice sword and struck both plant soul beasts, draining much of the glow from the Aromatic Silk Beauty's petals.

Zhang Lan persuaded the aromatic silk beauty and infernal delicate apricot to let him use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then began gathering essence from the octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot to forge the Ice and Fire Golden Body. The chapter left him suffering as the opposing forces rampaged through his meridians and clashed inside his body.

• Snow Empress subdued the aromatic silk beauty and infernal delicate apricot, and Zhang Lan persuaded them to let him enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Zhang Lan identified the octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot and explained that he wanted to use both to forge the Ice and Fire Golden Body.
• The aromatic silk beauty warned Zhang Lan that using both immortal herbs could kill him, but he proceeded after the infernal delicate apricot agreed to provide three drops of essence each.
• The two herbs released a drop of essence into Zhang Lan's palms, sending extreme cold through his left side and intense heat through his right.
• Zhang Lan guided the opposing forces into his body, where they violently clashed in his dantian and meridians.
