Chapter Summaries

Ning Bei and Zhu Zhuqing traveled to Spirit Cat City so Zhuqing could reunite with her second sister, Zhu Zhushui, and return to her family after nearly ten years away. After the sisters reunited, Zhushui learned Ning Bei was Zhuqing’s husband and began questioning him about his background and cultivation.

• Zhu Zhushui thanked Ning Bei for caring for Zhuqing, then asked him where he came from and what his cultivation was.

Ning Bei revealed his immense power and identity to Zhu Zhushui, who had challenged him while trying to protect Zhu Zhuqing. After Zhu Zhuqing displayed her transformed Soul Rings, Ning Bei prepared to explain how her talent had changed.

• Zhu Zhushui attacked Ning Bei with Hell Stab, but his soul power barrier stopped her and restrained her in midair.
• Ning Bei introduced himself as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master's brother and a Level 99 Titled Douluo, and Zhu Zhushui believed him after Zhu Zhuqing confirmed it.
• Zhu Zhushui questioned Ning Bei's motives and doubted his claims about Zhu Zhuqing's future, so Zhu Zhuqing revealed her seven Soul Rings and changed Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
• Ning Bei asked Zhu Zhushui whether she wanted to know how Zhu Zhuqing's talent had changed, then produced the Narcissus Jade Bone Immortal Herb.

Ning Bei gave Zhu Zhushui a Narcissus Jade Bone, and she learned how Zhu Zhuqing had been doing since the Soul Master Competition. Zhu Zhuqing planned to visit their father and remain in the Heaven Dou Empire, while Zhu Zhushui considered joining her there if she ever left the Zhu Family.

• Zhu Zhuqing said she would visit their father and stay in the Heaven Dou Empire, and offered to have Ning Bei arrange a place for Zhu Zhushui at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Bei joked that the sect could feed Zhu Zhushui because she weighed less than two hundred jin, and she angrily stabbed at her food.

Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Zhu Family estate with Zhu Zhushui and Ning Bei, where a relative insulted her and Ning Bei. Ning Bei maimed Zhu Mingyu and killed him in front of the arriving Grand Elder and Zhu Xianye, leaving the Zhu Family in shock.

• Zhu Zhuqing agreed to visit Zhu Zhuyun in the Nili Kingdom after seeing her father, then went with Zhu Zhushui and Ning Bei to the Zhu Family estate.
• Zhu Mingyu insulted Zhu Zhushui and Zhu Zhuqing, then mocked Zhu Zhuqing for being widowed and having Ning Bei by her side.
• Ning Bei froze Zhu Mingyu's arms and snapped them off when Zhu Mingyu continued to provoke him.
• The Grand Elder charged at Ning Bei, who froze him in midair and shattered Zhu Mingyu's head into ice chips.
• Zhu Xianye arrived and realized Ning Bei was far stronger than anyone in the Zhu Family.

Ning Bei killed Zhu Mingyu and the Grand Elder after they provoked him, while Zhu Xianye tried to protect the Zhu Family and learned Ning Bei was Zhu Zhuqing’s husband. After the courtyard cleared, Zhu Xianye asked Zhu Zhuqing about her years away, and she challenged his belated concern.

• Ning Bei released the Grand Elder from his domain and mocked him for calling Ning Bei blind.
• Zhu Xianye bowed to Ning Bei, blamed Zhu Mingyu for his own death, and asked Ning Bei not to hold the Zhu Family responsible.

Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Zhu Family with Ning Bei to visit Zhu Zhushui and retrieve her mother's keepsakes, but her father's attempts to win her back failed. After finding her old courtyard occupied, she went to the storeroom, where Ning Bei summoned Wang Wang to locate the keepsakes.

• Zhu Zhuqing confirmed that Ning Bei was her husband, but told Zhu Xianye she would not stay with the Zhu Family.
• Zhu Zhushui refused to help Zhu Xianye persuade Zhu Zhuqing, and the sisters left with Ning Bei for Zhu Zhuqing's old courtyard.
• Zhu Zhuqing found a Zhu Family disciple training in her former courtyard and confronted Zhu Xianye about her mother's belongings.
• Zhu Zhuqing went to the dusty storeroom, and Ning Bei summoned Wang Wang to sniff out the keepsakes.

Zhu Zhuqing said farewell to her family and left the Zhu Residence with Ning Bei and Wang Wang. After leaving Spirit Cat City, Ning Bei took her to an abandoned canyon and revealed that the black bead from her childhood keepsakes might be concealing a Deity.

• Zhu Zhuqing retrieved her mother's keepsakes and told Zhu Zhushui she planned to leave the Zhu Family for good.
• Zhu Xianye wished Zhu Zhuqing well and asked Ning Bei to take care of her before they departed for the Nili Kingdom.
• Zhu Zhushui told Zhu Zhuqing she could seek refuge in Seven Treasure City if the Zhu Family mistreated her.
• After the carriage left Spirit Cat City, Ning Bei took Zhu Zhuqing to an abandoned canyon to examine the black bead from her wooden box.
• Ning Bei confirmed the bead absorbed Soul Power and told Zhu Zhuqing it might conceal a Deity.

Ning Bei began creating a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to help Zhu Zhuqing try the God Position inheritance linked to her Black Bead. After four days, the pill took shape and summoned powerful Pill Lightning, leaving Zhu Zhuqing trembling as the storm gathered.

• Ning Bei told Zhu Zhuqing that her Black Bead was likely connected to a Deity and agreed to help her begin the God Position trial.
• Ning Bei summoned his companions and persuaded the reluctant Beast Kings to help face the Pill Lightning by promising better rooms in the Pill Pagoda.
• Ning Bei began refining a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, drawing Heaven and Earth Energy from across the surrounding region while Zhu Zhuqing and the others waited.
• After four days, Ning Bei condensed the energy sphere into a golden pill, and Chang'e woke Lei Yuanyuan so she could eat during the coming ordeal.
• Ning Bei opened his eyes as dark clouds covered the moon and powerful lightning gathered overhead, frightening Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Bei and the Fierce Beasts helped Zhu Zhuqing activate the Black Bead with the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, summoning the god Hermod. Zhu Zhuqing accepted Hermod’s inheritance of the God Position of ultimate speed and began receiving its knowledge.

• Lei Yuanyuan swallowed the first eighty-three Thunder Dragons before she was too full to continue.
• A Bao, Er Ming, Da Ming, and the other Fierce Beasts divided and endured the remaining sixteen bolts of tribulation lightning.
• Ning Bei gave Zhu Zhuqing the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and Black Bead, and she channeled the pill’s energy into the bead.
• The Black Bead summoned Hermod, who recognized Ning Bei as Skadi’s inheritor before offering Zhu Zhuqing his inheritance.
• Zhu Zhuqing accepted Hermod’s inheritance, and a black lightning-like God Mark formed on her forehead as she began receiving its information.

Zhu Zhuqing learned that she could pursue the God of Speed Trial if she reached Quasi Soul Douluo within two years without relying on external forces. She returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Ning Bei to begin cultivating, but the two postponed training until the next day.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Ning Bei that she had to reach Quasi Soul Douluo within two years to begin the God of Speed Nine Trials.
• Ning Bei reassured Zhu Zhuqing, and she vowed to work hard so she could stay by his side.
• Ning Bei rushed Zhu Zhuqing back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Ning Fengzhi, Sword, and Bone noticed her Divine Mark and learned she had received a god's test.
• Ning Bei told Ning Fengzhi that he and Zhu Zhuqing would likely enter seclusion for a long time to complete their Divine Trials.
• Zhu Zhuqing began preparing to cultivate, but Ning Bei led her away to spend time together before they started training the next day.

Ning Bei tried to shape the Pill Pagoda’s Tenth Spirit Ring from Faith Power, but discovered his Martial Soul had no place to bear it. With Big Mother Dragon’s warning and Tian Meng’s stored Soul Power, he began creating an illusory tenth layer for the pagoda.

• Zhu Zhuqing sent Ning Bei from her room and announced she would enter seclusion to pursue the Soul Douluo realm within two years.
• Ning Bei separated the Faith Power from the Pill Pagoda and spent a day shaping it into a Spirit Ring above the Ninth Spirit Ring.
• Ning Bei could not attach the new Spirit Ring to the Pill Pagoda, and Big Mother Dragon told him the Martial Soul was not yet qualified to bear a God Ring.
• Ning Bei realized the Pill Pagoda needed a tenth layer, but his Soul Power was running low.
• Ning Bei asked Tian Meng to release the Soul Power sealed in his body, then used it to form an illusory platinum tenth layer above the Pill Pagoda.

Ning Bei completed the fusion of the God Ring and the Tenth Floor of the Pill Pagoda, though the ring remained too weak to hold much Soul Power. After deciding to finish the Ice God Trial before strengthening it, he left his room and went to show Ning Fengzhi the Pill Pagoda.

• The Silver Dragon King used her spatial power to stabilize Ning Bei's God Ring while he shaped the Tenth Floor of the Pill Pagoda.
• After three days, Ning Bei preliminarily completed the Tenth Floor, then spent nearly half a month merging it with the God Ring.
• Ning Bei told the Three Giants of the Far North that the God Ring could only withstand nearly a thousand years of Soul Power for now, but that accumulating Faith Power would strengthen it.
• Ning Bei thanked the Silver Dragon King and said he would wait for the Ice God Set to finish fusing and complete the Ice God's God Trial before strengthening the God Ring.
• After nearly a month in his room, Ning Bei visited Ning Fengzhi in the Council Hall and revealed the Pill Pagoda in his palm.

Ning Bei revealed that his new Tenth Spirit Ring was a fragile God Ring that could grow through Faith Power toward a self-created God Position. After a month of cultivation, his Ice God Set finished fusing, but the final Ice God trial ordered him to kill those on the continent emotionally connected to him.

• Ning Bei explained to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong that Faith Power could strengthen his God Ring until he created his own God Position.
• Ning Fengzhi promised to help spread the name of Medicine God Douluo while Ning Bei entered secluded cultivation for the Ice God trial.
• Ning Bei moved to the Ice God Hall and spent a month reinforcing his God Ring as the Ice God Set completed its fusion.
• Ning Bei activated the Ice God Set, gaining a durable Ice God Sword, greatly increased defense, and the ability to retain his Spirit Bone Skills.
• The Ice God issued Ning Bei the final trial, Abandonment, ordering him to kill those on the continent who shared emotional bonds with him.

Ning Bei rejected the Ice God’s final trial after learning it required him to kill nine people close to him, and he refused to trade their lives for godhood. He parted ways with the Silver Dragon King after she urged him to sacrifice them and offered to revive them later.

• The Ice God’s final trial ordered Ning Bei to kill Ning Fengzhi, Huo Linglong, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fan, Dugu Yan, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing within two years.
• Ning Bei tried to forfeit the trial, but the command remained, so he vowed to become a god by his own efforts rather than kill the people he cared about.
• Ning Bei told the Three Giants of the Far North about the trial, and Tian Meng angrily questioned why anyone would sacrifice their family to become a god.
• Ning Bei returned to his room and told the Silver Dragon King about the trial; she argued that the targets were no match for him and that she could teach him to revive them afterward.
• Ning Bei refused to harm anyone he cared about, and the Silver Dragon King left, declaring she could face Asura without him.

Ning Bei rejected the Ice God's final trial because it required him to kill those he loved, and reassured Zhu Zhuqing that he could pursue godhood through his Pill Pagoda instead. Skadi summoned him to the Ice God Hall and showed him a vision of a blood-eyed, white-haired Tang San confronting Ning Bei's loved ones above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Zhu Zhuqing asked Ning Bei about his troubles, and he explained that the Ice God's final trial demanded he kill his family, friends, and lovers.
• Ning Bei revealed that his Pill Pagoda offered another path to godhood and promised Zhu Zhuqing he would never sacrifice her for divine power.
• Ning Bei told Ning Fengzhi, Sword, and Bone about the trial, and they discussed whether they might sacrifice themselves, but Ning Bei urged them to wait and see how his other path progressed.
• Ning Bei felt his Snowflake God Mark throb and appeared inside the Ice God Hall, where Skadi asked whether he would reconsider the final trial.
• Skadi showed Ning Bei a vision of a blood-eyed, white-haired Tang San facing Ning Bei, Little Angel, Zhu Zhuqing, Little Rabbit, Ning Rongrong, and the Three Youngsters of the Sect above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Bei refused to sacrifice his loved ones to claim the Ice God Position, and Skadi revealed that his choice fulfilled the trial’s true purpose. Skadi began shaping his God Ring and spent her remaining divine power raising it toward a million years.

• Ning Bei watched a vision of Tang San killing his companions and refused Skadi’s demand to kill him, insisting he would not harm his family, friends, or lovers.
• Skadi explained that Ning Bei’s choice showed the emotional understanding needed to grasp the Ice God’s ultimate meaning and declared him the new Ice God.
• Ning Bei promised to care for the people of the Extreme North, and Skadi began forming his God Ring with her remaining divine power.
• As the God Ring gradually advanced toward a million years, Ning Bei used a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to restore Skadi’s fading divine will.
• Skadi continued pouring power into the God Ring despite Ning Bei’s concern that she should preserve herself.

Ning Bei completed the Ice God Nine Trials, inherited the Ice God Throne, and returned to the sect after nearly a year away. He reunited with his family and revealed that he had become the Ice God, while sensing that the continent was beginning to reject him.

• Skadi faded away after saying goodbye to Ning Bei, and the trial announced that he had reached one hundred percent Ice God affinity and inherited the Ice God Throne.
• Ning Bei left Ice God Hall and realized he could summon it anywhere, then sensed the continent's growing rejection of him as a deity.
• Ning Bei arrived at the Council Hall and learned from Ning Fengzhi that nearly a year had passed and that Ning Rongrong had returned after waiting for him in Vast Sea City.
• Ning Rongrong scolded Ning Bei for missing their planned pickup, and he apologized before telling her he had handled something more important.
• Ning Bei summoned his Ice Sky Snow Woman Martial Soul and displayed his gold Million Year Spirit Ring, revealing to Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Rongrong that he had become the Ice God.
• Ning Rongrong joked that her brother was now her powerful backer, and she and Ning Bei traded teasing remarks.

Ning Bei explained that his God Trial had tested whether he could resist greed, then reassured his family that he could remain in the mortal world for a while. In the garden, he gave Little Rabbit a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that could restore her mother to life, before Ning Rongrong pressed him about Zhu Zhuqing.

• Ning Bei told Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin that the trial’s order to kill his loved ones had been a test of his resistance to temptation.
• Ning Bei said the world’s rejection of him was still weak and he would delay going to the God Realm until he had handled everything.
• Little Rabbit grew despondent when she heard Ning Bei had returned, troubled by Zhu Zhuqing’s relationship with him.
• Ning Bei gave Little Rabbit Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and explained that he would use it to revive Aunt Rou that night.
• Ning Rongrong asked Ning Bei to explain what was going on with Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Bei gathered the final ingredient needed to revive Aunt Rou: blood essence from Da Ming, which he extracted with ease. With the preparations complete, he began the revival while Little Rabbit and the others watched.

• Ning Bei explained that Aunt Rou's revival required the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, her Spirit Bone, a super Soul Beast's blood essence, and several pills.
• Little Rabbit learned that her own blood essence would not suffice, and Ning Bei said Da Ming or Er Ming could provide it if they agreed.
• Da Ming and Er Ming both volunteered, and a coin toss chose Da Ming to provide the blood essence.
• Ning Bei swiftly extracted Da Ming's blood essence, gave him a Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill, and Da Ming and Er Ming returned to the Pill Pagoda.
• Little Rabbit handed Ning Bei the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and stepped aside as he prepared to revive Aunt Rou.

Ning Bei refined a new body for Ah Rou, allowing her soul to enter it and reunite with Xiao Wu. He then prepared to test whether Ah Rou could cultivate in her human body.

• Ning Bei used the Pill Pagoda's flame, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Da Ming's essence blood, Ah Rou's Spirit Bone, and a Bone Growth Blood Fusion Pill to create a body.
• Ah Rou entered the body, and Xiao Wu dressed her while she adapted to it.
• Ah Rou woke and reunited with Xiao Wu, while Ning Bei gave her Soul Fusion Pills to help her master the new body.
• Xiao Wu asked whether Ah Rou could cultivate, and Ning Bei handed her the Awakening Stone and Crystal Ball so she could test Ah Rou's Martial Soul and Soul Power.
