Chapter Summaries

Wang Dong learned that the Sea God Family had come to rescue the Clear Sky Sect, and Da Ming wiped out the family to eliminate the threat. With the Undead Empire’s takeover of the secluded factions complete, Qian Chaoguang assembled his commanders to plan the coming war against the Sun Moon Empire, which was fortified at the Mingdou Mountain Range.

• Hu Liena extracted Sea Dragon Douluo’s memories and revealed that the Sea God Family had come under Tang San’s orders to rescue the Clear Sky Sect.
• Da Ming and Er Ming decided to eliminate the Sea God Family, and Da Ming killed all three hundred of its members and recovered their bodies and souls.
• The Undead Empire brought the secluded sects and families under state authority, while the war against the Sun Moon Empire drew within a week.
• At Qian Chaoguang’s prewar meeting, Mo Xuan described the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses at the Mingdou Mountain Range and its massed troops and Soul Tools.
• He Caitou proposed sending the Human Battle Legion into the first battle, and Dai Loli reported that the troops and supplies were ready for deployment.

Qian Chaoguang arranged a deliberately even battle against the Sun Moon Empire at the Mingdou Mountain Range to train his forces for their future war with the God Realm. After the meeting, he went to inspect Electrolux's newly completed Underworld Teleportation Array, whose operation remained awkward and limited by poor spatial materials.

• Qian Chaoguang assigned four legions to fight at the Mingdou Mountain Range, with Mo Xuan commanding the supporting forces and serving as overall corps commander.
• Qian Chaoguang barred the use of Interference Bombs, jammers, and pseudo Super Divine Artifacts, explaining that the battle was meant to test and train the army for its eventual confrontation with the God Realm.
• Qian Chaoguang ordered the enemy captured and released after defeat so the Sun Moon Empire could be integrated more completely, and A Fan understood the plan after being told to study Zhuge Liang's captures of Meng Huo.
• After the meeting, Qian Chaoguang hurried to the Underworld Teleportation Tower in response to Electrolux's soul transmission.
• The chapter explained that the Teleportation Array could bring Undead Creatures from the Underworld to the Eternal Life Hall only with precise timing, and could not yet transport beings above Third Level God strength because suitable spatial materials were lacking.

Qian Chaoguang watched Electrolux complete the Underworld Teleportation Array using a massive Empty Source Crystal and mysterious silver-red liquid, which transformed it into a divine artifact. The array opened, and Bibi Dong finally returned from the underworld after ten thousand years, vowing to take revenge on Tang San.

• Qian Chaoguang sensed Bibi Dong communicating with Electrolux through the Soul Link and realized she was eager to return from the underworld.
• Electrolux completed the array using an Empty Source Crystal that Wang Dong revealed had come from the Clear Sky Sect’s Sect Protecting Array.
• Wang Dong told Qian Chaoguang that she had also sent Electrolux a bottle of silver-red liquid that Tang San had left with the Clear Sky Sect.
• Electrolux fused the liquid into the array, drawing in spatial elements and causing the Teleportation Array to become a divine artifact.
• Qian Chaoguang dispersed the Tribulation Clouds as the array activated, and Bibi Dong emerged, laughing that she had finally escaped after ten thousand years and would kill Tang San.

Qian Chaoguang welcomed Bi Bi Dong back from the underworld and wondered about his mysterious origins while she comforted him. Bi Bi Dong revealed that she had recovered her sanity and mocked her past devotion to Yu Xiaogang and her old mistakes, leaving her and Qian Chaoguang reflecting on how she and Xiao Xue might have defeated Tang San.

• Qian Chaoguang greeted Bi Bi Dong after she returned to the human world, and she embraced him to bask in his light power.
• While holding Bi Bi Dong with his wings, Qian Chaoguang pondered his six angel wings and suspected he might have experienced a second transmigration.
• Bi Bi Dong comforted Qian Chaoguang about not knowing his parents and reminded him of his family, duties, and place in the Undead Empire.
• Bi Bi Dong showed Qian Chaoguang Yu Xiaogang's grotesque soul and explained that she kept it to vent her anger.
• Bi Bi Dong criticized her former love for Yu Xiaogang and regretted that she and Xiao Xue had not focused on becoming gods instead of letting Tang San claim victory.

Bibi Dong admitted that she had been foolish in the past, then had Qian Chaoguang connect Yu Xiaogang to the Empire Network to burn away impurities in his soul. Yu Xiaogang regained a little awareness, and Bibi Dong received the remaining greater half of the Rakshasa God Position as a possible path to becoming the Black Knight Emperor.

• Bibi Dong reflected that her past choices had cost her and her daughter, and Qian Chaoguang considered whether Love Brain settings might disappear when characters left the main plot timeline.
• Bibi Dong asked Qian Chaoguang to forcibly link Yu Xiaogang to the Soul Network so the Empire Network could filter his soul, and he reluctantly agreed.
• Qian Chaoguang connected Yu Xiaogang to an isolated network area, where the Bottom-Layer Firewall burned away impurities while Bibi Dong watched and kicked him.
• After about twelve minutes, Yu Xiaogang survived with most of his soul still damaged and weak, but he showed a trace of awareness and called Bibi Dong “Dongdong.”
• Bibi Dong formed a Rakshasa Power collar and chain around Yu Xiaogang, then accepted Qian Chaoguang’s sealed container holding the remaining greater half of the Rakshasa God Position.

Bibi Dong absorbed the damaged Rakshasa Divine Throne and advanced to Lord of Lament, becoming the Undead Empire’s first Black Knight Emperor. She learned that unifying Douluo Star would come before any campaign against Tang San, and planned to stabilize her new realm while awaiting a Super Divine Artifact.

• Bibi Dong merged the damaged Rakshasa Divine Throne into her Heart of Soul and transformed into a Lamenting Soul.
• The Black Knights sensed Bibi Dong’s advancement, while Qian Chaoguang judged her combat power to be close to the Demigod King level.
• Bibi Dong beat Yu Xiaogang after completing her advancement, and Qian Chaoguang explained that Yu Xiaogang’s sanity kept collapsing under the Empire Network’s safeguards.
• Bibi Dong asked about the unification plan and learned that the Undead Empire expected to unify Douluo Star within half a year to a year before planning a counterattack against the God Realm.
• Qian Chaoguang told Bibi Dong that a Super Divine Artifact could let her contend with a Demigod King and promised that he and his teacher would help forge one after she stabilized her realm.

Bibi Dong returned to the Eternal Life Hall as Qian Chaoguang continued preparing the Undead Empire for war. On the decisive battle morning, Huo Yutong and the Human Battle Legion arrived near the Mingdou Mountain Range and began deploying their planned equipment.

• Bibi Dong declined Qian Chaoguang's offer to dispose of Yu Xiaogang, brought him along on a chain, and toured the Eternal Life Hall with Qian Chaoguang.
• Qian Chaoguang returned to cultivation while the Undead Empire kept its forces quiet ahead of the battle.
• Ju Zi held the Sun Moon Empire's final war council, where Kong Deming warned that Qian Chaoguang could use spatial gates to deploy troops suddenly.
• Huo Yutong scouted the Mingdou Mountain Range, confirmed the Sun Moon Empire's defenses matched her previous observations, and signaled Mo Xuan to proceed.
• Two thousand Human Battle Legion warriors emerged from Heaven's Gates under He Caitou's command; half deployed Great Wall Series Mechas while the others prepared a large War Soul Tool.

The Undead Empire completed its artillery and magic tower positions near the Mingdou Mountain Range, then opened fire on the Sun Moon Empire’s mountain fortress with Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons. Ju Zi activated the fortress’s Linked Defense Shield as a thousand incoming shells struck its barrier.

• The Undead Empire rapidly assembled Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons and temporary magic towers within striking distance of the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Ju Zi watched the preparations through a telescope but held back from attacking because she could not determine the enemy’s intentions.
• Mo Xuan told He Caitou it was time to begin, and He Caitou ordered every unit to fire at the mountain fortress.
• The Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons launched a thousand wind- and fire-wrapped shells toward the fortress.
• Ju Zi ordered the High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools to activate the Linked Defense Shield, and the incoming shells slammed into its barrier.

The Sun Moon Empire’s fortress withstood the Undead Empire’s bombardment, but its senior Soul Tool Masters realized the cheap shells had the force of high-level ammunition despite lacking the expected energy signature. The barrage stopped at midnight, leaving the defenders’ Soul Power reserves below half and the next day’s defense uncertain.

• The Linked Soul Tool Shield blocked the Undead Empire’s first barrage, encouraging the fortress’s ordinary soldiers while Ju Zi and the Rank 9 Soul Tool Masters recognized that the shells’ power did not match their apparent level.
• Ju Zi and Elder Kong understood that the attacking weapons were not Fixed Soul Device Shells, while the chapter explained how He Caitou had designed inexpensive shells powered by compressed fire elements for the Divine Punishment Heavy Cannon.
• The Undead Empire fired volleys every three minutes from afternoon until midnight, raining more than a hundred thousand shells on the Mingdou Mountain Range Fortress.
• The Undead Creatures and one hundred and one magic towers guarded the attackers’ camp overnight as the Sun Moon Empire shut down its linked barrier and began inspecting and repairing its soul tools.
• Ju Zi learned that the fortress’s Soul Power reserves had fallen to forty-eight percent despite continuous support from the Light Energy Conversion Devices.

Ju Zi ordered the Sun Moon Empire to shut down its Linked Defense Shield and preserve the High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tool’s energy, hoping to lure the Undead Empire into range. Kong Deming privately warned her that the plan was reckless gambling with the empire’s survival.

• Mo Xuan continued the Undead Empire’s long-range bombardment, planning to exhaust the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Power reserves before committing stronger forces.
• Ju Zi assessed the fortress’s dwindling energy and rejected proposals to use Soul Tool Masters to charge the defense system or launch a sneak attack.
• Ju Zi ordered the Linked Defense Shield shut down in an hour so the empire could conserve energy and bait the Undead Empire into attacking.
• Kong Deming dismissed the others and told Ju Zi that her plan risked the Sun Moon Empire because she had not prepared for failure.
• Ju Zi listened as Kong Deming warned that the empire could no longer afford another mistake.

Ju Zi ordered the Mingdou Mountain Range Fortress to feign weakness and draw the Undead Empire into an attack, but Mo Xuan refused to advance and continued the bombardment. Huo Yutong guided successive volleys that devastated three secondary peaks, and the Sun Moon Empire activated new defenses as the shelling continued.

• Kong Deming left Ju Zi's command room and began preparing a fallback plan in Mingdu, while Ju Zi ordered the fortress's defenses weakened to make its shield appear depleted.
• After the Linked Soul Guidance Barrier collapsed, He Caitou questioned the apparent breach, but Mo Xuan ordered the army to keep firing rather than fall for a trap.
• Huo Yutong guided a thousand Divine Punishment Heavy Cannons to strike five secondary peaks with precise volleys, overwhelming the defenses at three positions and badly damaging the fortifications.
• The Sun Moon Empire soldiers activated the defenses of the breached peaks, and metallic mountain sections opened as golden pillars of light rose into the sky.

Huo Yutong guided the Undead Empire’s artillery in devastating the Sun Moon Empire’s secondary peaks, forcing Ju Zi to reactivate the High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tool. After Ju Zi admitted defeat in her gamble, Kong Deming took over supreme command at the Mingdou Mountain Range.

• Huo Yutong directed successive barrages that destroyed numerous secondary peaks and killed the Sun Moon Empire’s troops and Soul Engineers.
• Ju Zi’s commanders urged her to activate the High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tool as casualties mounted and the Undead Empire refused to advance.
• Ju Zi asked where Kong Deming was before finally ordering the defensive array activated.
• The array rose to block the next bombardment, and Ju Zi slumped as she recognized her judgment had been wrong.
• Kong Deming returned and announced that he would take supreme command until the battle of the Mingdou Mountain Range ended.

After Ju Zi lost command of the Sun Moon Empire’s forces, Kong Deming took control and prepared the Mingdou Mountain Range defenses for a final battle. The Undead Empire began its assault with a vast army of skeletons and mechs, and the chapter ended as the Sun Moon Empire launched its counterattack.

• Ju Zi despaired after failing to retain the army’s support, while Kong Deming took command and reorganized the defenses around Mingdou Mountain Range Fortress.
• Kong Deming shut down eight High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools, concentrated the remaining defenses, and ordered the troops to conserve their strength for the next day.
• Mo Xuan and Huo Yutong suspected that command had changed hands after they spotted troops evacuating the fortress’s rear, and Mo Xuan assigned the Undead Empire’s attack plan.
• The Undead Empire launched its morning bombardment, then opened Heaven’s Gates and sent hundreds of thousands of beast skeletons, mechs, and allied forces toward the fortress.
• Mo Xuan ordered the amplified Undead Empire army to charge, and its vanguard approached within three kilometers as its final artillery shells ran out.
• The Sun Moon Empire launched its long-awaited counterattack just after the Undead Empire’s bombardment ended.

The Undead Empire’s army attacked the Mingdou Mountain Range Fortress, and its God Level fighters effortlessly destroyed a volley of Rank Nine Fixed Soul Cannon Shells. As the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses battered the advancing forces, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm unleashed God of Death Descent, forcing Kong Deming to flee with Ju Zi as the fortress’s main peak began to collapse.

• Dragon One, A Fan, He Caitou, Mo Xuan, and Xiao Xiao neutralized the fifteen Rank Nine Fixed Soul Cannon Shells without suffering harm.
• The Sun Moon Empire activated its Linked Defense Shield and poured Soul Tool fire onto the advancing skeleton army, while the Great Wall Mecha and the zombies’ Undying Fortress protected the allied forces.
• Huo Yutong ordered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to target the fortress’s main peak with a prepared super-tier Legion-Level Forbidden Spell.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and more than a thousand Liches channeled power through the Mage Towers to unleash God of Death Descent.
• Kong Deming evacuated the Highest Command Operations Room, rescued Ju Zi, gathered the main peak’s High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools, and fled as the spell dismantled the fortress’s shield.

The Undead Empire destroyed the Mingdou Mountain Range fortress with the Lich Legion’s God of Death Descent, then overwhelmed the remaining Sun Moon Empire forces and won the campaign. The released prisoners fled home as the Undead Empire began salvaging the battlefield and assessing its losses.

• The Lich Legion’s God of Death Descent annihilated the fortress’s main peak and three nearby peaks, killing nearly everyone who had not evacuated.
• Kong Deming ordered a retreat, and the Undead Empire’s mechas, artillery, and Soul Beast skeletons dismantled the fortress and defeated its defenders.
• Dragon One killed the final resisting Rank 9 Soul Tool Master, and roughly a hundred thousand ordinary soldiers surrendered.
• Mo Xuan ordered the surrendered soldiers released on the Sun Moon Empire’s mainland, where they eventually scattered toward home.
• Mo Xuan’s forces began raising fallen troops as skeletons and recovering equipment, while Qian Chaoguang reviewed the battle’s preliminary statistics.
• Qian Chaoguang learned that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered heavy losses, while the Undead Empire had lost more than twenty thousand Gray Bone Skeletons permanently.

After defeating the Sun Moon Empire at Mingdou Mountain Range, Qian Chaoguang ordered the Undead Empire to advance into its territory while honoring his promise not to use certain technologies against it. The Undead Empire took control of the southern region with little resistance, and the Holy War Legion prepared to attack the next defensive perimeter.

• News of the Undead Empire's victory at Mingdou Mountain Range spread across the continent, bolstering its people's confidence and throwing the Sun Moon Empire's leadership into panic.
• Qian Chaoguang learned that Sun Moon Empire officials had abandoned southern cities to reinforce Mingdu, where Eternal God Cult leaders had already begun taking over local administration.
• Qian Chaoguang ordered Huo Yutong and Mo Xuan to lead the advance, permitting interference weapons but forbidding several technologies because he had promised Liu Tiezhu not to use them against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Over the next two months, the Skeleton Legion took southern cities with little resistance as the Eternal God Cult, Pixiu Merchant Guild, and Soul Contracts secured local control.
• The Undead Empire absorbed the Sun Moon Empire's southern territory, and the Holy War Legion prepared to attack its newly built defensive perimeter.

Ninth Brother defended the Pixiu Merchant Guild’s continued shipments to the occupied territories, arguing with Sun Moon Empire officials that the guild was protecting ordinary people. He then challenged Kong Deming’s authority and accused him of usurping power, leaving the court questioning who was truly acting against the empire.

• Kong Deming angrily demanded that the Pixiu Merchant Guild stop transporting goods to the occupied territories, but Ninth Brother said the guild was helping the people and had opened a secret sea route.
• Ninth Brother argued with Minister Niu and other officials, using the guild’s aid to livelihoods and food supplies to rebuff their accusations.
• Kong Deming warned Ninth Brother to cease commercial activity or face a charge of treason, and Ninth Brother questioned his authority to issue the order.
• Ninth Brother accused Kong Deming of placing the Empress Dowager under house arrest and seizing imperial power, leaving the officials to consider whether Kong Deming had overstepped the law.

Ninth Brother used the Sun Moon Empire’s legal loopholes and the Pixiu Merchant Guild’s political connections to force Kong Deming to back down, leaving the court assembly unresolved. Three months after the loss of the Mingdou Mountain Range, the Undead Empire began a major offensive, and Qian Chaoguang prepared an aerial campaign that opened with a hundred Human Battle Legion members emerging from Heaven's Gate in specialized cold-weather armor.

• Ninth Brother denied that the Pixiu Merchant Guild opposed the empire and challenged Kong Deming to enact a formal law if he wanted to halt its trade in occupied territories.
• Kong Deming realized that acting against the guild could force him to usurp the throne or damage the empire’s war effort, so the court assembly ended without a resolution.
• Three months after the Mingdou Mountain Range fell, the Undead Empire launched a large-scale offensive against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Qian Chaoguang and Mo Xuan devised an aerial campaign to sever Sun Moon Empire communications and destroy its Soul Tool positions from beyond its forces’ effective flight altitude.
• At a temporary camp in the south, Heaven's Gate opened and about a hundred Human Battle Legion members emerged wearing specialized armor designed for extreme cold.

The Undead Empire launched a surprise aerial raid on the Sun Moon Empire, destroying its high-altitude detection network and crippling soul tool positions across dozens of cities. Qian Chaoguang personally led the attack on Sky Star City, where Kong Deming’s defenses intercepted some bombs but could not prevent heavy damage.

• The Human Battle Legion used flight battle armor to reach altitudes above 5,000 meters and began its surprise raid on thirty-one cities.
• Spirit Master squads destroyed the Sun Moon Empire’s Ultra-High Altitude Detection Soul Tools and shot down soul engineers who tried to investigate.
• The attackers bombed Di Yang City’s soul tool positions, using Interference Bombs to sever communications and disable linked defenses before explosives struck.
• Qian Chaoguang directed the attack on Sky Star City as Divine Punishment Giant Cannon fire and aerial bombing hit the city.
• Kong Deming’s Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier intercepted many airdropped bombs, but one-fifth of Sky Star City’s outer soul tool positions were destroyed.

The Undead Empire bombarded Sky Star City and then sent more than ten thousand Wu Jiu Modified tanks charging toward its defenses. As Kong Deming watched the city’s linked defenses fail again, he was left with no answer to the advancing steel formation.

• The Undead Empire’s shelling ended, and Qian Chaoguang signaled Kong Deming before ordering his tank force to prepare for the assault.
• Qian Chaoguang led the Holy War Legion’s tanks toward Sky Star City while Kong Deming and Ye Yulin estimated the attacking force and recognized that ordinary people were operating its weapons.
• Zhao Meng, a devout tank commander who had risen from an ordinary soldier to a Spirit Master, urged his crew to honor their god as they drove at the front of the formation.
• As the tanks closed to within eight kilometers, Zhao Meng activated their interference devices, and the city’s Linked Soul Tools and High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools failed again.
• Kong Deming stared at the charging tanks while Fire Phoenix Douluo asked what they should do, and Kong Deming could not answer.
