• Qian Chaoguang collected Liao Mengkai’s soul and essence blood to prepare for his resurrection, while Kong Deming questioned him about the process.

Kong Deming traded his research, wealth, and Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier for promises protecting the Xu bloodline and allowing his soul to reincarnate, then died after learning how deeply Qian Chaoguang had shaped the Sun Moon Empire’s fate. Qian Chaoguang sent Kong Deming’s remains with Ye Yulin’s retreating Soul Tool Masters, while the Holy War Legion captured Sky Star City and prepared to continue the campaign.

After the Undead Empire’s victory at Sky Star City, Qian Chaoguang focused on cultivation and revived Liao Mengkai, who awoke in the Empire’s Divine Kingdom and learned he had joined the ranks of the undead. Three months later, the Sun Moon Empire had been reduced to Mingdu, with its forces largely abandoning resistance and awaiting the Empire’s takeover.

• Qian Chaoguang left the war plans to his advisers and went to the Research Department to revive Liao Mengkai and share Kong Deming’s technical materials with the researchers.

• Three months later, the Undead Empire had taken all but Mingdu, while most Sun Moon Empire soldiers disbanded or gave up resistance after Kong Deming’s final order.
• The Sun Moon Empire’s remaining hard-liners fought outside the cities, and neither side allowed the battles to draw civilians into the fighting.

The Undead Empire surrounded Mingdu, and Qian Chaoguang faced the Sun Moon Empire’s final resistance alongside its surrender faction. When he recognized his former teacher and elder brother Liu Tiezhu among the enemy forces, he set aside his imperial bearing to reunite with him, leaving the battle unresolved.

• The Undead Empire assembled its legions and more than twenty Limit Douluo outside Mingdu, while the Sun Moon Empire deployed its final resistance army.

• Liu Tiezhu walked alone between the armies and invited Qian Chaoguang to come down and catch up.

• Qian Chaoguang restored Liu Tiezhu’s erased memories and offered to resurrect Kong Deming and make Liu Tiezhu a god, but Liu Tiezhu refused to abandon his homeland.

• Qian Chaoguang visited Liu Tiezhu’s grave outside Mingdu and left a Divine Power seal on the coffin.
• Qian Chaoguang revealed to Ye Yulin that he had been the Soul Engineer known as Qian Daoliu and explained how he had fooled Ye Yulin and the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Qian Chaoguang falsely blamed Jing Hongchen for betraying Illustrious Virtue Hall, then hired Ye Yulin for twenty years in exchange for a chance to kill Jing Hongchen.

• Qian Chaoguang went to Ju Zi’s residence to protect the Xu Family’s last bloodline and found her son cultivating there.
• Ju Zi told Qian Chaoguang that the boy was named Xu Bing and left his future to Qian Chaoguang after her death.

Qian Chaoguang rescued Xu Bing from Ju Zi’s vengeful Blood Soul, erased her soul, and took the boy away from the imperial palace. The chapter ended with Qian Chaoguang seeking help at the Eternal God Temple to find someone to raise Xu Bing.

• Ju Zi revealed her hatred of Kong Deming and Zhongli Wu, then died and returned as a Blood Soul that tried to strangle Xu Bing.
• Qian Chaoguang protected Xu Bing, erased Ju Zi’s soul, and comforted the boy after he learned that his mother had wanted him dead.
• Qian Chaoguang took Xu Bing away from the palace, agreed to arrange Ju Zi’s burial, and brought the boy’s Image Crystal Stand along with him.
• Silver Skeletons buried Ju Zi beneath the floor of her bedchamber without a tombstone.
• At the Eternal God Temple, Qian Chaoguang asked the Holy Word Ancestor to help raise Xu Bing because she was the only person with experience raising children.

Qian Chaoguang entrusted Xu Bing to Holy Word, then awakened to the eighth form of his saber technique, Cause and Effect, while studying Liu Tiezhu’s final gift. As he prepared to investigate a mysterious wave of good fortune across Douluo Star, Tang Hao’s nearly depleted prison orb showed signs that his situation was changing.

• Qian Chaoguang persuaded Holy Word to take Xu Bing as her student, and she began teaching the frightened boy courage.
• Qian Chaoguang studied Liu Tiezhu’s notebook and, after three months of enlightenment, created the eighth saber technique, Cause and Effect, which severed a target’s ties to the world.
• Qian Chaoguang discovered a severed karmic thread among his own connections and learned that using the technique against living beings consumed the National Fortune Dragon’s Purple Qi.
• Qian Chaoguang asked Dragon One about the continent-wide rise in good fortune, and Dragon One reported that the empire’s experts had found no source for it.
• Qian Chaoguang decided to investigate the anomaly in Shrek City, while Tang Hao remained trapped in a dimming orb inside Douluo Star’s Central Control Room.

Tang Hao escaped the Central Main Brain after ten thousand years, retaining immense power, and emerged into a continent ruled by the Undead Empire. He learned that its people followed many gods but no one worshipped Sea God Tang San, and Tang Tang hinted that Tang Hao’s beliefs were outdated.

• The Central Main Brain released Tang Hao from its control, leaving his modified strength intact, then expelled him into the Mingdou Mountain Range.
• Tang Hao met Shrek students Tang Tang and Blueberry, who told him the Star Luo and Sun Moon Empires had fallen and the Undead Empire had unified the continent.
• Blueberry explained that the empire followed the Eternal God Cult and described its many deities, including a God of Judgment with over a hundred Titled Douluo-level Six-Winged Angels.
• Tang Hao asked why no one worshipped Sea God Tang San, and Tang Tang reacted as though his question about the unpopular god was absurd.

Blueberry defended Spirit Hall and condemned Tang San’s legacy to Tang Hao, arguing that the Undead Empire had uncovered evidence of Spirit Hall’s public services and the damage caused by its destruction. As Qian Chaoguang watched through a projection and protected Blueberry and Tang Tang, Blueberry continued her account of Spirit Hall’s Judgment Army and Slaughter City while Tang Hao concealed his anger and plotted to reshape history.

• Tang Hao threatened Blueberry and Tang Tang after they rejected his praise of Tang San, but Blueberry’s eighth-order Divine Art barrier blocked his pressure.
• Blueberry challenged Tang Hao’s claim that Spirit Hall was evil, arguing that hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been accepted practice and that Spirit Hall had provided subsidies, education, and opportunities for commoners.
• Blueberry described her family’s sacrifices to awaken her Martial Soul and educate her, then condemned Tang San for destroying the paths Spirit Hall had offered to ordinary people.
• Blueberry sensed that Tang Hao might have surpassed Limit Douluo and secretly reported him to Zhang Bowen and Qian Chaoguang, while Qian Chaoguang recognized him as Tang Hao and assured the girls they were safe.
• Tang Hao pretended to accept Blueberry’s arguments so he could hear more criticism, intending to use it to create a new version of history that glorified Tang San.
• With Qian Chaoguang’s approval, Blueberry began describing Spirit Hall’s Judgment Army and Slaughter City, accusing Tang San of destroying the prison and citing the few Gods of Slaughter who had escaped it.

Blueberry and Tang Tang publicly dismantled Tang Hao’s defenses of Tang San by recounting the crimes attributed to him and questioning how he acquired the Tang Sect’s secret arts. Their argument left Tang Hao furious and shaken as the livestreaming crowd watched, while Blueberry began citing strange Hidden Weapon names as further evidence that Tang San came from another world.

• Blueberry explained that Slaughter City had restrained evil soul masters and that Tang San’s destruction of it enabled a long era of slaughter, turning ordinary people and soul masters against him.
• Tang Tang claimed that Tang Sect master Bei Bei had uncovered Tang San’s withheld inheritance and historical crimes, provoking Tang Hao’s disbelief and anger.
• Tang Hao argued that Tang San had the right to withhold his own techniques, but Blueberry challenged the claim that he had created them, pointing to his age and childhood circumstances.
• Blueberry and Tang Tang suggested that Tang San’s body had been taken by a soul from another world, leaving Tang Hao to wonder whether the man he raised had been his biological son.
• Blueberry cited names such as Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, and Peacock Plume as clues that Tang San knew concepts unknown on Douluo Continent.

Blueberry and Tang Tang baited Tang Hao into revealing his rage, while Qian Chaoguang secretly protected them and broadcast the encounter. Tang Hao then visited the Clear Sky Sect, where Da Ming and Er Ming placated him and sent him toward Shrek City, unaware they were playing along with Qian Chaoguang’s plans.

• Blueberry questioned whether Tang San had truly created the Tang Sect’s secret arts, and Tang Hao erupted and attacked her and Tang Tang.
• Qian Chaoguang teleported Blueberry and Tang Tang away before Tang Hao’s hammer struck, and the two women celebrated their successful provocation.
• Tang Hao arrived at the Clear Sky Sect and demanded that its members kowtow, but Da Ming and Er Ming confronted him and reminded him of their past sacrifices for Tang San.
• Da Ming and Er Ming explained that the Clear Sky Sect had only changed its name, then pretended not to know about the Undead Empire and falsely claimed Tang San was in seclusion.
• Tang Hao believed their explanation, resolved to find Ah Yin in Shrek City, and left while Da Ming and Er Ming watched Qian Chaoguang’s broadcast.

Tang Hao discovered that Ah Yin was gone and attacked Shrek City, but its shield held as Mu En exposed Tang San and his allies’ crimes and expelled Tang San and Xiao Wu from the academy. Golden Alligator Douluo then battered Tang Hao into retreat, leaving him stunned to find his supposedly dead foe alive and powerful.

• Tang Hao returned to Shrek City, sensed that Ah Yin’s soul was gone, and furiously attacked the Golden Ancient Tree and the city’s shield.
• The Golden Ancient Tree shielded Shrek City and healed its residents while Mu En accused Tang Hao and Tang San of exploiting Shrek’s ancestors and announced that Tang San and Xiao Wu were expelled.
• Mu En had the statues of Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, and Tang San destroyed and denounced Yu Xiaogang’s teachings as a fraud.
• Tang San’s statue’s destruction caused the Douluo Star fortune within him to disperse as he refined bloodlines in seclusion.
• Golden Alligator Douluo struck Tang Hao with a powerful barrage, damaged his Clear Sky Hammer, and drove him into the God Realm’s interception barrier.
• Tang Hao recognized Golden Alligator Douluo and demanded to know how he had survived his apparent self-destruction and reached God Level.

Golden Alligator Douluo, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan cornered and severely wounded Tang Hao, then trapped him with their Two Extremes Stillness Domain. Bibi Dong appeared and shattered Tang Hao’s will to fight, leaving him surrounded and terrified.

• Golden Alligator Douluo, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan revealed themselves as powerful returnees and attacked Tang Hao together.
• Tang Hao chose to block Golden Alligator Douluo’s blow, but Gui Mei’s dagger struck through his chest and neck while Golden Alligator Douluo withstood his hammer.
• Tang Hao tried to flee, but Yue Guan and Gui Mei sealed him inside their Two Extremes Stillness Domain while Golden Alligator Douluo mocked him.
• Bibi Dong appeared before Tang Hao, and he panicked when he recognized the woman he believed Tang San had killed.
• Bibi Dong insulted Tang Hao’s reliance on his wife and son, while Yue Guan laughed at his protests.

Bibi Dong and the Undead Empire killed Tang Hao, while Qian Chaoguang erased his Soul Imprint and made his death reach Tang San. Tang San learned of his father’s death just after completing his Dragon God blood refinement, and he descended into rage before turning his attention to the growing problems on Douluo Star.

• Bibi Dong rejected Tang Hao’s accusations and struck him down with a single slash when he tried to escape with the Great Sumeru Hammer.
• Ghost Douluo crushed Tang Hao’s divine soul into Soul Crystals, and Qian Chaoguang ended the broadcast and shattered Tang Hao’s Soul Imprint.
• Tang San completed his Dragon God blood refinement, strengthening his body and raising his command of the seven elements.
• Tang San sensed that the Divine Sense seed on Tang Hao had shattered and heard his father’s final plea, then broke down in grief and rage.
• Tang San regained control of himself, restored the Sea God Hall secret space, and began investigating the forces disrupting his plans on Douluo Star.

Tang San convened the God Realm Committee and claimed his father, Tang Hao, had died after losing his status as Douluo Star’s Plane Lord, warning that someone was weakening the God Realm’s control over lower realms. The God Kings agreed the threat needed investigation, while Tang San secretly hoped to distract the God of Destruction as he pursued the Dragon God’s power.

• Tang San summoned the God Kings and announced that Tang Hao had died, prompting Lie Yan and the God of Destruction to mock his solemn revelation.
• Tang San explained that Tang Hao had become Douluo Star’s Plane Lord and claimed an unknown enemy had killed him to undermine the God Realm’s rule.
• Lie Yan accused Tang San of causing his mother’s death, and Tang San transformed into Asura Form before Ji Dong and the God of Destruction restrained him and Lie Yan struck him.
• Tang San told the committee that he had lost absolute control over the oceans and that the Goddess of Light had lost control of her Law, arguing that these changes supported his warning.
• The God Kings considered whether the Silver Dragon King could have killed Tang Hao, but Ji Dong said Douluo Star’s importance to her made that unlikely.

The Goddess of Life revealed that Qian Chaoguang’s Undead Empire had unified Douluo Star and transformed its societies, shocking the God Kings. As the God of Greed praised Qian Chaoguang, Tang San planned to exploit his connection to him and proposed sending the Phoenix God to the Lower Realm, but Lie Yan rejected the choice.

• The Goddess of Life showed the God Kings that the Undead Empire had risen near Star Luo City and amassed thousands of powerful fighters, prompting Tang San to deny that such numbers were possible.
• The Goddess of Life explained that the Undead Empire had taken over the continent in under a year and unified the two newly discovered continents, where its administrators taught local people practical skills.
• The God of Destruction recognized Qian Chaoguang as the mortal admired by the God of Greed, who described Qian’s achievements and predicted that he could eventually gain a peak God King Divine Throne.
• Tang San recalled Qian Chaoguang’s connection to Shrek Academy and privately planned to use him to search for his missing daughter and the auspicious beast.
• The God of Greed called Qian Chaoguang the God of Light and Undead, prompting Tang San to propose sending the Phoenix God to the Lower Realm to investigate.
• The God of Destruction asked the other God Kings to judge Tang San’s proposal, and Lie Yan rejected it as a scheme to advance Tang San’s trusted follower.

The God Realm committee approved sending Ma Hongjun, three Third Level Gods, and ten God Realm Hunters to Douluo Star to investigate Tang Hao’s death. After a year of seclusion, Qian Chaoguang learned of their approach and visited the Research Department, where Electrolux and Xuan Ziwen revealed a flying cluster of mage towers designed as a sky warship.

• The God of Destruction approved Tang San’s proposal to send Ma Hongjun and a large team of gods and God Realm Hunters to the Lower Realm, and the committee finalized the mission’s details.
• The Goddess of Life asked Tang San about Xiao Qi, and he vaguely said Ma Hongjun would check on her during the mission.
• Qian Chaoguang ended a year of seclusion, learned from Rong Nianbing that the God Realm team was coming, and traveled with Dragon One to the Research Department.
• Electrolux and Xuan Ziwen showed Qian Chaoguang a flying structure made from more than a hundred connected mage towers, designed to serve as a mobile sky warship.
• Huo Yutong explained that the warship’s armor, main weapons, and control systems were built, while its shield, flight systems, and other facilities remained under development.
• Qian Chaoguang said he could not yet endure the void’s erosion and estimated that reaching the Fifth Realm would let him wield enough power to cut down the Dragon God at his peak.

Qian Chaoguang prepared to receive the God Realm’s delegation, while Ma Hongjun led the gods to Shrek City and kept them in check. After meeting the Undead Empire’s representatives, Ma Hongjun was brought to the Golden Ancient Tree to meet Qian Chaoguang.

• Qian Chaoguang explained that resisting Void Erosion required a complete Law cycle and warned that a Divine Kingdom might shatter if its Faith Power ran out in the void.
• Ma Hongjun led thirteen gods from the God Realm through a passage to Douluo Continent, where Qian Chaoguang’s Golden Body Art had reached the peak of the Fourth Realm.
• Ma Hongjun threatened the God of Shadow and ordered the other gods not to behave arrogantly or endanger the Undead Empire.
• Dai Loli, Ji Juechen, and Ye Guyi met Ma Hongjun’s group, pretended to question his identity, and escorted the gods through Shrek City toward the academy.
• Dai Loli led Ma Hongjun into the Golden Ancient Tree, where Qian Chaoguang awaited him, and Ma Hongjun grew nervous before their meeting.

Ma Hongjun reunited with Bai Chenxiang after ten thousand years, swore himself and Bai Chenxiang to Qian Chaoguang, and became the God of Vengeance and the Undead God System’s sixth Saint. At a banquet welcoming the descending deities, Qian Chaoguang began setting up a scheme to mislead the God Realm about the Undead Empire.

• Qian Chaoguang opened Heaven’s Gate in the Golden Ancient Tree, allowing Bai Chenxiang to reunite with Ma Hongjun after ten thousand years apart.
• Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang each swore an unbreakable oath to serve Qian Chaoguang, and Ma Hongjun became the sixth Saint and God of Vengeance.
