Chapter Summaries

Wangchuan learned that he could increase his Demon template progress by sacrificing Devil Fruits or exchanging money, and considered using his 10-billion-Beli bounty to grow stronger. When a Celestial Dragon killed a civilian on Sabaody, Wangchuan walked toward the Celestial Dragon’s group, seemingly intent on killing them.

• Wangchuan visited Sabaody Archipelago and heard people discussing his 10-billion-Beli wanted poster, which called him “Moon Demon.”

• Wangchuan ignored warnings from nearby civilians and walked toward the Celestial Dragon’s group, thinking that killing a few of them might be fun.

• Rayleigh asked where the treasure had gone, and Wangchuan pointed to his head; Wangchuan’s system panel showed 121 Demon Coins.

Wangchuan sacrificed three Devil Fruits to raise Tso Lan’s template to 88%, then spent Demon Coins to max it out. The Elder’s sealed memories and powers returned, and he remembered his demon siblings waiting in eternal Hell.

• Wangchuan learned that sacrificing the three Devil Fruits would grant 15% template progress and allocated it all to Tso Lan.

Wangchuan recovered the buried memories revealing that he was the reincarnation of half of Tso Lan’s soul, while Tso Lan’s other half became the system template. After regaining control of his power and restoring gravity across Sabaody, Wangchuan understood that the two identities had always been one.

• Wangchuan’s returning memories unleashed Purple Demon Chi, causing gravity to fail across the Sabaody Archipelago and surrounding sea.

• Wangchuan controlled his power, gravity returned to normal, and he reflected that his search had led him back to himself.

After recovering his memories and demonic identity, Wangchuan triggered an upgrade that lifted the system’s restrictions on how he could obtain wealth. Meanwhile, Ace sailed toward the Sabaody Archipelago to meet Wangchuan.

• Wangchuan questioned the system about its identity, but it initially refused to answer because he lacked permission.

• Wangchuan remembered Daolon Wong’s Resurrection Magic and asked the system for a spell that could give a soul a physical body.
