Cao De arrived in Spirit City and found Bibi Dong leading a team in the Soul Master Tournament, making him suspect he had traveled into the past. Following the system’s coordinates, he discovered Qingwu, confronted him in a hotel room, and learned that the system’s bug had somehow become a human woman.
Qingwu used his Shame Value System to earn points and tried to hide his identity from Cao De, but Cao De exposed him as a system. Qingwu escaped to the Star Dou Great Forest, while Cao De used the system’s purchase history to begin tracking him down.
Cao De found Qingwu in the past and confronted him after overhearing him plead with his system. Qingwu admitted he had been Cao De’s former system, but knew nothing about their time travel, while Cao De continued browsing the System Shop and Qingwu begged him to leave some points.
Cao De persuaded Qingwu to help earn the five billion Shame Points needed to upgrade the system, and they signed a Great Dao Contract. After using Qingwu’s remaining credit purchases to obtain two Causality-Avoidance Masks, Cao De put one necklace on each of them.
Cao De used the [Compelling Cause Mask] to take Qingwu above Spirit City and earn Shame Points by frightening him with repeated free falls. After Qingwu began enjoying the drops, they explored the city, where his embarrassment at being mistaken for Cao De’s beautiful girlfriend earned more points; they returned to the streets together as bystanders admired them.
Over a month of traveling with Cao De, Qingwu grew close to him and devised a new way to earn Shame Points. Two months later, Cao De was running an unnoticed barbecue stall in Spirit City through his ability to evade cause and effect.
Qingwu and Cao De upgraded the Emotion Points System and discovered its new exchange feature and expensive cards. After Qingwu's attempt to overpower Cao De failed, Cao De opened his own system's exchange option and tested it with a Thousand-Blade Demon Sword.
Cao De exchanged a Demon Eye for Shame Points and used a Causality Detection Card to see how his arrival had changed the future. He decided to correct the altered causality, but the Causality Modification Card required eight hundred billion, leaving him short of the funds needed to return home.
Cao De followed the system's hint to meet Bibi Dong and found her with Yu Xiaogang in the Star Dou Great Forest. He demonstrated his unusual strength by punching Yu Xiaogang, leaving Bibi Dong surprised by his abilities.
Bibi Dong fought the Earth King and the Pink Lady in the Star Dou Great Forest while Yu Xiaogang and Cao De tried to survive the scorpion swarm. Cao De shielded Bibi Dong from the Pink Lady but was stabbed by her short sword and badly wounded.
After Cao De saved Bibi Dong and recovered from his injuries, he told her that their customs required her to marry him because she had removed his mask. Bibi Dong refused, but she gave him a replacement mask when he left, keeping the original as a keepsake.
Cao De completed several tasks on the Causality Modification Card, including creating Qian Renxue’s embryo and planting imprints in Qian Xunji and Yun Wan. He returned to the hotel, where he found Qingwu berating a portrait with a broom.
Cao De packed up their hotel room after telling Qingwu they had earned enough shame points to return, and Qingwu feared their contract would keep them apart. Cao De revealed a hidden clause that let him take Qingwu with him, and they prepared to leave the room together.
Cao De and Qingwu used the Causality Modification Card, then traveled through a blood-red Time Travel Card that shattered into fragments across the world. In the Divine Realm, the Asura God led nearly a hundred gods to confront the wounded High God and accused him of breaking the realm’s laws.
The Asura God exposed Stone Brick’s past and led the gods in battle, while Stone Brick unleashed divine flames and created a phantom of Cao De to fight him. The chapter ended with the phantom blocking the Asura God’s devastating sword strike with its bare hands.
Cao De's phantom defeated the Asura God after he transformed into God-Slaying Asura, shattering his armor and the Asura Sword. Stone Brick failed to finish off the fallen Asura God because the phantom kicked him away.
Stone Brick took control of Cao De’s phantom and ordered the destruction of the Douluo Continent’s divine inheritances. As gods descended and slaughtered mortals, one selected Xiao Wu and another Soul Master, forcing Bibi Dong and the others to prepare to fight.
Cao De rescued Xiao Wu and the others, then began hunting down the gods on the Douluo Continent. After killing more than a dozen gods, he entered the Golden Net to confront Stone Brick.
Cao De entered the Divine Realm and slaughtered more than a thousand gods sent to kill him, then confronted the High God Stone Brick. Stone Brick offered to work with him, but Cao De attacked, and Stone Brick summoned a powerful figure who looked like Cao De.
Cao De defeated Stone Brick’s phantom, but the awakened Golden Net stopped him from killing Stone Brick. The Golden Net took human form, while Stone Brick recognized it and recalled how he had plotted to kill his teacher to gain control of its power.
The golden net used Cao De to locate the Divine Realm origin, then tried to devour it while the two origins merged. Cao De struck down the golden net, leaving the brown origin stronger and the lightning-filled void transformed.
Cao De destroyed the Origin and repaired the rift between the Divine Realm and the lower realm, but collapsed from his injuries after saving the world. Two months later, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang worked as laborers while the continent recovered and people wondered whether Cao De was alive.
Xiao Lingmeng visited Cao De after he awoke, shared the letter he had left her, and asked to stay by his side; Cao De welcomed her. Qingwu then updated Cao De on Spirit Hall’s negotiations with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire’s support.
Cao De discovered that spiritual energy had appeared and used the Great Sun Heart Method to cultivate, reaching the nascent soul stage. He found his rabbit mother-in-law and carried her toward Heaven Dou Imperial City, where Bibi Dong and the others awaited amid Spirit Hall's collapse.
Cao De rescued Bibi Dong from the Heaven Dou Emperor’s ambush, killed the emperor, and returned with the women to the New Villa at Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong’s memories of Cao De resurfaced, and she confronted him over the mask he had once let her remove before storming upstairs.
