Chapter Summaries

Lin Yu, a transmigrator in Windmill Village, finally awakened a system that pulled everyone on Douluo Continent into a live quiz room. As the system began broadcasting the God Realm Calamity, Lin Yu learned that he owned the room and held special privileges, but would still have to answer its questions.

• Lin Yu lamented that his Martial Soul Awakening was the next day and his Cheat System had not appeared.
• A golden light entered Douluo Continent and showed people across the world a battle between a Nine-Colored Dragon and five figures.

• The Worldwide Live Quiz System bound itself to Lin Yu, pulled everyone else into a Live Stream Room, and began broadcasting the God Realm Calamity.
• Lin Yu learned that correct answers earned rewards and wrong answers brought punishments, and that his room-owner privileges included hidden answers and control over some rewards.

As the God Realm Calamity broadcast ended, everyone on Douluo Continent was pulled into a Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream and given a question about how Soul Masters were born. The enormous wish-granting reward tempted humans and Soul Beasts alike, while Bo Saixi feared the Live Stream Room had cut off her connection to the Sea God.

• The God Realm battle ended with the nine-colored giant dragon splitting into golden and silver dragons, and the silver dragon escaped through a spatial tunnel.
• The Live Stream Room appeared and brought people across Douluo Continent together, prompting Bibi Dong to identify the battle as having taken place in the God Realm.

• People including Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang considered the wishes they wanted granted, while Soul Beasts also hoped to heal or resurrect loved ones and increase their power.
• Bo Saixi discovered that she seemed unable to contact the Sea God and wondered whether the Live Stream Room was more powerful than him.

A continent-wide Q&A offered wishes as rewards for correct answers and punishments for wrong ones, while participants debated how Soul Masters came into existence. Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi answered incorrectly, and Hu Yanzhen's eighth Soul Ring began to be stripped away.

• Yu Xiaogang rejected Liu Erlong's pleas to find him, and Flender angrily called him out for leaving her waiting for years.
• Tang Xiao learned that Ah Yin was still alive but in poor condition, while Yue Guan and Tang Hao argued over the Previous Pope's death.
• Tian Meng revealed that Soul Beasts had also entered the Live Stream Room and asked someone to wish for his freedom; Di Tian knew the answer involved Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and dead divine beasts.
• Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi submitted different answers, while Di Tian concealed his correct answer among the responses.
• The Q&A declared Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi incorrect, ordering Hu Yanzhen's eighth Soul Ring stripped and Tuoba Xi's Soul Power reduced by three levels.

Hu Yanzhen and other Live Stream Room members suffered punishments for incorrect answers, while Lin Yu tried to solve the question about the origin of soul masters and was marked wrong again. The system began a one-minute countdown, threatening to randomly strip away a Martial Soul, a soul beast’s cultivation, or an ordinary person’s life if nobody answered correctly.

• Hu Yanzhen was immobilized and lost his eighth soul ring, while other members including Tuoba Xi and Di Tian received different punishments.
• The system explained that punishments were random but harsher for answers farther from the correct one, and Lin Yu learned that the extracted losses were stored for him.
• Lin Yu answered that soul masters’ birth involved the God Realm’s gods, the Silver Dragon King, and the deceased divine beasts, but the system marked him wrong again.
• Other members tried revised answers and also failed, with some receiving harsher punishments.
• The system announced that one minute remained before it would randomly strip a soul master’s Martial Soul, a soul beast’s cultivation, or an ordinary person’s life, causing everyone to panic.

Lin Yu correctly answered that martial souls originated after the Silver Dragon King arrived on the Douluo Continent, while the God Realm’s gods created Soul Rings by changing its rules. He rejected the powerful figures’ offers to claim his wish, and the Live Stream Room announced that another Q&A would take place in seven days.

• Hu Yanzhen warned others that a wrong answer could bring severe punishment, and the Live Stream Room fell silent.
• Lin Yu realized that the origins of martial souls and Soul Rings had separate causes and submitted his explanation to the system.

• Lin Yu refused to give his wish to anyone else, and major figures offered to welcome him or befriend him in the future.
• The system announced that the Live Stream Room would close temporarily and that the next Q&A would take place in seven days.

After leaving the Live Stream Room, Lin Yu considered how to use his wish and rejected immediate Douluo-level power in favor of abilities from stronger worlds. The system ruled out or discouraged his proposed options, then recommended the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, which Lin Yu chose.

• Lin Yu left the Live Stream Room and prepared to use his wish on Windmill Village’s back mountain.
• Lin Yu rejected wishing for Level 99 Titled Douluo strength or a god-tier Martial Soul, deciding instead to seek power beyond Douluo Continent’s rules.

• Lin Yu asked about the Three God-Making Projects and Kryptonian Bloodline, but the system warned that their limitations made them poor choices.
• The system recommended the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, and Lin Yu chose to wish for it.

After gaining the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, Lin Yu attended Windmill Village’s Martial Soul Awakening with three other children. Goudan, Sizhu, and Erya awakened ordinary Martial Souls without Soul Power, and Lin Yu was about to undergo his own awakening.

• Lin Yu returned to Windmill Village after wishing for the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul and found villagers discussing the Live Quiz System.
• The next morning, Lin Yu went to the village Martial Soul Sub-Hall, where village chief Leo and other families had gathered for the awakening.
• Hou Yuntao arrived from Jila City and led Lin Yu and the other three children into the Sub-Hall.
• Goudan awakened a Rake with zero Soul Power, Sizhu awakened a sickle with zero Soul Power, and Erya awakened Blue Silver Grass.
• Lin Yu stepped up for his Martial Soul Awakening after the other three children.

Lin Yu awakened the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul and displayed Innate Full Soul Power, prompting Hou Yuntao to invite him to join Spirit Hall. When Hou Yuntao recognized Lin Yu’s name from a live stream, Lin Yu denied being that person and said he would have chosen a powerful combat ability instead.

• Hou Yuntao watched Lin Yu absorb many golden motes in the awakening array and suspected his Martial Soul had mutated.
• Lin Yu summoned the Chaos Azure Lotus, which Hou Yuntao could not identify.
• Lin Yu placed his hand on the Soul Power Test Crystal Ball, and Hou Yuntao discovered he had Innate Full Soul Power.
• Hou Yuntao invited Lin Yu to join Spirit Hall, but Lin Yu said he wanted to think about it and might find Hou Yuntao in Jila City.
• Hou Yuntao reacted with shock to Lin Yu’s name, and Lin Yu denied being the Lin Yu from the live stream, claiming he would have wished for a powerful combat ability instead.

After awakening the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, Lin Yu declined Hou Yuntao’s invitation to join Spirit Hall and tested his new power at home. Seven days later, the second Live Q&A began, but its broadcast had not started yet.

• Hou Yuntao tried to recruit Lin Yu into Spirit Hall, but Lin Yu declined while he considered his future and hoped to attract greater attention from Spirit Hall.
• Lin Yu told Hou Yuntao that his parents had died, so Hou Yuntao decided to report the talented child to the Martial Soul Main Hall instead of forcing him to go.
• Hou Yuntao told village chief Old Leo that one child had Innate Full Soul Power, and Goudan, Sizhu, and Erya identified Lin Yu as that child.
• Lin Yu returned home and found that his level 10 Soul Power could manifest the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul for less than three minutes, without activating its special abilities.
• After completing ceremonies in nearby villages, Hou Yuntao sent a letter to Spirit City, and seven days later the second Live Q&A began with its broadcast yet to appear.

The second Live Q&A showed a filthy craftsman apparently inventing the Amplification Soul Guidance Device and offered a Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity for the correct answer. While factions searched their archives, Ning Fengzhi quickly answered that the inventor was Fanos.

• Xue Ye, Dai Tianfeng, and others argued about the future before the broadcast began.
• The broadcast showed a middle-aged craftsman carving a metal cylinder and celebrating what appeared to be a successful invention.

• Xue Ye and other factions ordered searches through their archives, while Lin Yu and Yu Xiaogang struggled to answer.
• Ning Fengzhi answered that the inventor was Fanos, shocking everyone.

Ning Fengzhi correctly identified Fanos as the inventor of the Amplification Soul Guidance Device and received a Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity. He evolved his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, recruited young Soul Masters for his sect, and the Live Q&A ended with the next one scheduled in fifteen days.

• Ning Fengzhi answered that Fanos invented the Amplification Soul Guidance Device and received a Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity.
• Ning Fengzhi activated a Shared Live Stream so everyone could witness his evolution.

• The Shared Live Stream ended, and the system announced that the next Live Q&A would be held in fifteen days.

After the live stream ended, Tang Hao regretted failing to win a reward that could restore Ah Yin, while the Far North and Star Dou Forest rulers considered how to benefit from future quizzes. Lin Yu realized he needed access to extensive historical records and decided to choose a faction to join.

• Tang Hao apologized to Ah Yin for failing to obtain a reward that could restore her and said they still could not reveal their identities to Xiao San.
• Ice Empress worried that the quiz rewards might focus on humans, but Snow Empress urged her to wait for future questions.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hoped a future reward would be useful to him, while Di Tian ordered the Star Dou Forest's ferocious beasts to study their collected books and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spread its spiritual power through them.
• Lin Yu realized he lacked knowledge of Douluo Continent's history and ruled out the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Imperial Family as factions to join.
• Lin Yu weighed joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or Spirit Hall and finally made his choice.

Lin Yu chose to join Spirit Hall and spent the following days testing his Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, discovering it was nearly indestructible. Fifteen days after the previous session, the third Live Q&A began, leaving everyone watching as a bustling city appeared in the transformed space.

• Lin Yu decided Spirit Hall suited him better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and wondered when its representatives would come for him.
• Lin Yu experimented with his Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul and found that it could not be torn or damaged, suggesting it might shield him from attacks.

• Fifteen days later, Hu Yanzhen, Yu Yuanzhen, Yue Guan, Dai Tianfeng, and Xue Ye boasted about their factions' preparations as soul beasts and smaller factions worried they could not compete.
• The third Live Q&A began, blocked the public chat, and changed the dark space into a bustling city.

A live-stream illusion revealed how Qian Xunji’s pursuit of Tang Hao and the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ah Yin ended in her sacrifice. The scene stopped after Tang Hao escaped with infant Tang San, and the Q&A asked who was chiefly responsible.

• Tang Hao and pregnant Ah Yin toured a city until they encountered Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei in a ceremonial carriage.
• Qian Xunji recognized Ah Yin as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and later demanded that Tang Hao leave her behind.
• After Tang Hao refused, Qian Xunji exposed their relationship to the Clear Sky Sect, prompting Tang Hao to withdraw from the sect and flee with Ah Yin.
• Qian Xunji and Spirit Hall pursued the couple, and Ah Yin gave birth while they were escaping.
• Unable to escape with the newborn, Ah Yin sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, who became a Titled Douluo and gravely wounded Qian Xunji.
• Tang Hao escaped with infant Tang San, and the Q&A asked who was the main culprit behind Ah Yin’s sacrifice.

The Live Q&A asked who caused Ah Yin’s sacrifice, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm answered that Spirit Hall was responsible. His answer was declared wrong, and the punishment stripped away ten thousand years of his cultivation, leaving Di Tian and the other beasts furious.

• Hu Yanzhen questioned why Tang Hao had not answered the question about Ah Yin’s sacrifice.
• Ah Yin prepared to answer that Spirit Hall was the culprit, but Tang Hao urgently tried to stop her.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm answered first, naming Spirit Hall as the culprit in hopes of winning an ability that could free him.
• The Live Stream Room declared Tian Meng’s answer incorrect and began stripping away ten thousand years of his cultivation.
• Di Tian watched the punishment remove an icy-blue mass of energy from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and decided the sealed silkworm needed to be taught a lesson.

Lin Yu deduced that the Clear Sky Sect was behind Ah Yin’s sacrifice and correctly answered the quiz, earning a soul-bone reward. The revelation stunned those who had dismissed his answer, while Ah Yin and other observers reconsidered who had truly caused her family’s tragedy.

• After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm answered incorrectly that Spirit Hall was the culprit, Ah Yin, Lin Yu, and others were left uncertain about the true culprit.
• Lin Yu reasoned that the Clear Sky Sect had orchestrated Ah Yin’s sacrifice and submitted that answer to the system.
• The system confirmed Lin Yu was correct and awarded him a random soul bone above one hundred thousand years.
• Lin Yu chose to reveal his answer in the Live Stream Room, prompting Hu Yanzhen, Tang Xiao, Yu Yuanzhen, and others to dispute it.
• The system publicly confirmed the Clear Sky Sect was the culprit, leaving the people who had mocked Lin Yu shocked and dumbfounded.

Tang Xiao challenged Lin Yu’s claim that the Clear Sky Sect had betrayed Tang Hao, but Lin Yu questioned why Tang Hao had taken the pregnant Ah Yin to a major city despite the danger of her being discovered. Ah Yin confirmed Tang Hao had taken her there, leaving her convinced the Clear Sky Sect had directed him to go.

• Tang Xiao and Hu Yanzhen rejected the Live Stream Room’s answer, and the system stripped Hu Yanzhen of one level of Soul Power for slandering it.
• Ning Fengzhi defended the Live Stream Room’s credibility and directed Tang Xiao to ask Lin Yu why he blamed the Clear Sky Sect.
• Lin Yu argued that the Clear Sky Sect might have been behind a scheme that backfired, then questioned why Tang Hao had taken pregnant Ah Yin to a major city.
• Tang Xiao explained that Titled Douluo could not recognize a mature-stage human-form Soul Beast, but Lin Yu pointed out that pregnancy could make Ah Yin’s identity detectable.
• Ah Yin said Tang Hao had taken her to the city, and recalled that she had no wish to visit one and could no longer fully conceal her Soul Beast aura while pregnant.
• Ah Yin concluded that someone from the Clear Sky Sect must have told Tang Hao to take her there.

Lin Yu accused the Clear Sky Sect of causing Ah Yin’s sacrifice and exposed Tang Hao’s guilt, while Tang Hao tried to deny the sect’s involvement. Ah Yin demanded an explanation, and Tang Hao privately admitted that someone from the Clear Sky Sect had sent him to the city but still refused to confess.

• Lin Yu argued that the Clear Sky Sect had directed Tang Hao to take Ah Yin to the city, and Tang Hao claimed he had gone on his own.
• Tang Hao insisted the Clear Sky Sect was innocent and said he had taken Ah Yin out to surprise her, leaving Ah Yin doubtful and hurt.
• Lin Yu pointed to Tang Hao’s years of despair and neglect of his son as evidence of his guilt, shocking Tang Hao by revealing knowledge of his life.
• Lin Yu hinted that his first Q&A reward gave him knowledge about the Douluo Continent, prompting people in the Live Stream Room to speculate about his wish.
• Ah Yin asked Tang Hao to make the Clear Sky Sect explain and apologize, while Tang Hao privately acknowledged that someone from the sect had told him to take her there but refused to admit it publicly.

Ah Yin demanded that Tang Hao reveal why he had taken her to the city where Spirit Hall discovered them, but Tang Hao denied that the Clear Sky Sect had any role. As Ah Yin was left heartbroken and Lin Yu accused the sect of betrayal, Niu Gao challenged claims that the Clear Sky Sect had suffered heavy losses.

• Tang Lingtian blamed Ah Yin for the Clear Sky Sect’s troubles, and Ah Yin demanded that Tang Hao explain why he had taken her to the city where Spirit Hall found them.
• Tang Hao chose to protect the Clear Sky Sect, telling Ah Yin that he alone had wanted to go to the city and that the sect was uninvolved.
• Ah Yin was devastated by Tang Hao’s answer, while Lin Yu mocked him as a sect slave and accused the Clear Sky Sect Master of selling out his daughter-in-law.
• Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong defended Tang Hao and argued that the Clear Sky Sect had suffered heavy losses.
• Niu Gao rejected their defense, saying the Clear Sky Sect had abandoned the Four Great Clans when Spirit Hall attacked and that his clans had paid the price.

Lin Yu publicly mocked Yu Xiaogang by using his own theory to expose the gap between his claims and his cultivation, leaving Yu Xiaogang humiliated and unconscious. Lin Yu then began to reveal what had happened when the Clear Sky Sect abandoned its allies.

• The Four Great Clans condemned the Clear Sky Sect for abandoning its forces, while their resentment toward Tang Hao eased after they learned he had also been betrayed.
• Lin Yu insulted Yu Xiaogang for defending Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect, prompting Liu Erlong to defend Yu Xiaogang and his martial soul research.
• Lin Yu challenged Yu Xiaogang's claim that there were no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters, by pointing out that Yu Xiaogang had not advanced beyond Soul Grandmaster.
• People watching the illusionary screen mocked Yu Xiaogang, who spat blood and collapsed at Notting Academy; Liu Erlong was unable to refute Lin Yu, while Flender secretly enjoyed the humiliation.
• Lin Yu dismissed Yu Xiaogang's defense of the Clear Sky Sect and announced that he would explain what had happened back then.
