After returning to Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue reported her breakthrough and tournament plans to Qian Daoliu, then decided to challenge the current team captain. In Luo Chen’s Martial Soul Space, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm arrived and quickly became his companion, while hoping to evolve into an Aspect like Ah Yin and Ah Rou.

• Jin Tianyue went to show Golden Crocodile Douluo her new Soul Skill, while Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu about her fifteen-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.

Luo Chen asked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to stay in his Martial Soul Space for a year, while she secretly grew suspicious of Gu Yuena’s plans. Beneath the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao and the elders found a mysterious door that reflected Tang Lie’s attack before opening onto a cavern filled with remarkable ores.

• Luo Chen told the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about his arrangements and asked her to stay in his Martial Soul Space for a year.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm agreed and decided she might warn Luo Chen about Gu Yuena’s scheme.
• Tang Xiao, Tang Hai, and Tang Lie followed the hammering sounds through the underground world beneath the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Lie struck the ancient metal door with his strongest attack, but it reflected the force and sent the three elders flying.
• Tang Xiao introduced himself and apologized to the person beyond the door, which then opened to reveal mountains of extraordinary ores.

Tang Xiao, Tang Hai, and Tang Lie discovered a vast trove of treasures beneath the Clear Sky Sect and encountered Ornn forging weapons. After Ornn shattered Tang Lie’s Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Tang Xiao recognized him as the god Ornn, leaving the three stunned before the divine being.

• Tang Lie rushed into the treasure chamber, ignoring Tang Xiao and Tang Hai’s caution, and charged at the figure forging within.
• Tang Xiao and Tang Hai found Tang Lie kneeling beside the shattered pieces of his Clear Sky Hammer after Ornn destroyed his Martial Soul at its root.
• Tang Xiao questioned whether Ornn was a Soul Beast or a human, while he and Tang Hai tried to understand why Ornn had spared them.
• Ornn stopped forging, singled out Tang Xiao’s hammer, and ordered him to come closer.
• Tang Xiao recognized Ornn as the Fire Below the Mountain, master of Primordial Fire, and he, Tang Hai, and Tang Lie stared in shock.

Ornn showed Tang Xiao that Martial Souls were made of Soul Power and demonstrated how forging could transform one into another. He instructed Tang Xiao to forge with his own Clear Sky Hammer, leaving Tang Xiao to train while pleading that his younger brother Tang Hao deserved the lesson more.

• Ornn sent Tang Hai and Tang Lie out of the forge, and they left to gather elders to rescue Tang Xiao.
• Ornn took Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer and asked him what a Martial Soul was, but Tang Xiao could not explain its origin.
• The Tool Martial Souls around the forge floated into the air, and Ornn said every crafted object in the world was his creation.
• Ornn broke down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into Soul Power and forged it into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ornn told Tang Xiao to forge with the material on him, and Tang Xiao began striking the empty furnace with his hammer.
• As Ornn forged nearby, Tang Xiao pleaded that his younger brother Tang Hao, the youngest divine smith, should receive the instruction instead.

One year after returning from hunting his Third Soul Ring, Luo Chen perfected several powerful Self-Created Soul Skills based on Force Field Control and prepared to absorb the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Million-Year Soul Ring. Meanwhile, Ornn helped Tang Xiao regain confidence in his talent and urged him to forge his born Soul Power into a creation of his own.

Luo Chen prepared to accept the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s sacrifice as his Fourth Soul Ring, while Gu Yuena directed him to perform the ritual at the Lake of Life. Luo Chen instead chose to absorb it under Bibi Dong’s watch and tell her about Tian Meng.

• Luo Chen corrected Tian Meng’s confusion about silkworms and caterpillars, and Gu Yuena and the others teased her about becoming a moth.
• The chapter recalled how Tian Meng secretly warned Luo Chen about Gu Yuena’s undercover plan, leading Gu Yuena to whip him before he apologized and the misunderstanding was resolved.

• Luo Chen declined and decided to absorb Tian Meng’s Soul Ring in front of Bibi Dong, planning to tell her about Tian Meng at the same time.

Luo Chen spent time with Bibi Dong, enjoyed the meal she cooked, and told her he planned to absorb his fourth Soul Ring. In the secret chamber beneath the Papal Palace, he began revealing the true power of his Celestial Star Crown Martial Soul.

• Luo Chen began explaining that the Celestial Star Crown's true power was not its remarkable Soul Skills.

Luo Chen revealed his Aspects to Bibi Dong, including Gu Yuena, Ah Yin, and Ah Rou, and explained how he preserved Soul Beast souls as companions. Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena clashed over Ah Rou before Luo Chen stopped them, and Bibi Dong recoiled when Gu Yuena recalled how Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had nearly caused Luo Chen’s death.

Luo Chen still gained a golden Million-Year Soul Ring and a mental-type Million-Year Head Soul Bone, while Tian Meng remained alive and evolved into a godlike form.

• Tian Meng began her sacrifice and poured her million years of power into Luo Chen's Fourth Soul Ring while asking him to choose a Soul Bone.
• Luo Chen chose a mental-type Head Soul Bone, and Tian Meng split her power between the Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

• Bibi Dong recognized Tian Meng's powerful Divine Power and wondered whether she had become a god.

Gu Yuena explained that Tian Meng had become a rank 100 divine officer after transforming into an Aspect, though she was exceptionally weak in combat. Tian Meng then demonstrated her new spiritual abilities, which let everyone in the secret chamber process and analyze their surroundings in extraordinary detail.

• Gu Yuena explained that the Celestial Star Crown had transformed Tian Meng into an Aspect and granted her rank 100 Divine Power without a divine position.

• Luo Chen activated Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, letting everyone perceive and analyze the secret chamber’s surroundings through streams of information.
• Tian Meng proudly claimed that her Soul Ring skills were unmatched at processing information.

After Tian Meng’s sacrifice, Luo Chen demonstrated the immense range of Spiritual Detection Sharing and explained why he was holding back from advancing further until he could control his powers. He then used his new Soul Skills to create Kyoka Suigetsu, successfully deceiving Bibi Dong and revealing that he could control her five senses.

• Luo Chen expanded Spiritual Detection Sharing to a radius of three thousand meters, astonishing Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, Ah Rou, and Ah Yin.

• Luo Chen listed Tian Meng’s remaining Soul Skills and said he had devised an interesting combination skill.
• Luo Chen used Kyoka Suigetsu, or Five Senses Control, on Bibi Dong without her noticing.
• Bibi Dong turned in shock after Luo Chen revealed that her five senses were under his control, while Gu Yuena recognized Tian Meng’s value.

Luo Chen explained Kyoka Suigetsu’s limits and demonstrated how its Complete Hypnosis could deceive even Bibi Dong’s senses. Bibi Dong realized that her disciple’s ability had surpassed her own ability to detect illusions.

• Gu Yuena identified her God King-level divine consciousness as the reason she could distinguish Luo Chen’s illusion from his real body.
• Luo Chen explained that Kyoka Suigetsu could manipulate every sense within its domain and could leave persistent Spirit Seeds, though stronger Soul Masters could clear them.

• Luo Chen stabbed an illusion of himself, making Bibi Dong believe she was holding her injured disciple despite his warning that the figure was fake.
• Luo Chen revealed his real body behind Bibi Dong, and she found that her senses and divine consciousness could not distinguish him from the illusion.

Luo Chen tested Kyoka Suigetsu by creating a lifelike Black Hell Demon Tiger for Bibi Dong to fight, revealing how convincingly the skill could distort perception. Bibi Dong then considered using it to take control of the Heaven Dou Empire, though she intended to keep Luo Chen by her side.

• Luo Chen summoned a lifelike Black Hell Demon Tiger and asked Bibi Dong to examine it for flaws.
• Bibi Dong used her spiritual power to inspect the illusion, then fought it while Luo Chen added Soul Skills at her request.
• Bibi Dong evaded the tiger's attacks for an hour without using Soul Skills, while Luo Chen grew tired from controlling the illusion.
• Bibi Dong comforted Luo Chen and realized Kyoka Suigetsu could make enemies mistake their allies for opponents.
• Bibi Dong recalled Qian Xunji's plan to infiltrate Heaven Dou and considered using Kyoka Suigetsu to control the Heaven Dou Imperial Family once Luo Chen attained a title.

Luo Chen and Bibi Dong agreed to prepare for unification ten years in the future while Gu Yuena worried that the Soul Beast Clan lacked talent to keep pace with Spirit Hall. Later, Luo Chen reviewed his cultivation and God Trials, focusing on the cryptic Fourth Trial’s demand to restructure different domains and achieve equilibrium.

• Luo Chen told Bibi Dong that they should spend ten years laying the groundwork for unification, and she offered him whatever support he needed.
• Gu Yuena worried that Spirit Hall’s talented women would eventually rival her and urged Ah Yin, Ah Rou, and others to develop faster, while Tian Meng thought of candidates from the Far North Ice Plains.
• After returning from the secret chamber, Bibi Dong went to the Papal Palace, leaving Luo Chen time to plan his cultivation and study his God Trials.
• Luo Chen noticed purple flames consuming part of the word “past” on his Second Trial card, whose objective was to save the past and the future.
• Luo Chen read the Fourth Trial’s objective to guide the restructuring of different domains and achieve equilibrium, then considered what equilibrium meant.

Luo Chen learned that his fourth trial required balancing four realms formed around the Douluo Plane. Gu Yuena explained that he would need to align them and establish a cycle of reincarnation, with the other realms’ chosen gatekeepers helping him.

• Luo Chen reasoned that the fourth trial’s balance would not require turning the whole continent into pre-invasion Ionia.
• Gu Yuena explained that Luo Chen’s Martial Soul had copied and superimposed a Spirit Realm onto the Douluo Star.
• Luo Chen learned that the trial required the Spirit Realm to align perfectly with the Material Realm.
• Gu Yuena revealed that the trial involved four realms: the Material Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Nether Realm, and the Star Realm.
• Gu Yuena explained that the Nether Realm needed to connect to the Douluo Continent to create a cycle of reincarnation, and that the three non-material realms would choose gatekeepers to help Luo Chen unite them.
