Chapter Summaries

Soul Engineer siblings Tan Hongchen and Nian Hongchen encountered Axiom in a shared dream and received designs for Class 8 and Class 9 Soul Tools. Axiom chose them as its agents and tasked them with growing stronger and unifying the Sun Moon Continent.

• Tan Hongchen and Nian Hongchen detected a distant energy fluctuation, grew exhausted, and fell asleep.
• The siblings found themselves together in a strange misty realm and met the entity calling itself Axiom.
• Axiom explained that the siblings had entered because of their aptitude and luck, and that they could ask it questions.
• Tan Hongchen asked how to make a Class 8 Soul Tool, and Axiom revealed designs that convinced the siblings of its knowledge.
• Tan Hongchen asked about Class 9 Soul Tools, and Axiom revealed those designs too.
• Nian Hongchen asked what Axiom wanted from them, and Axiom ordered the siblings to strengthen themselves and unify the Sun Moon Empire.

Nian Hongchen and Tan Hongchen asked Axiom to show them the Sun Moon Continent’s original fate, learning that it would unify before colliding with the Douluo Continent. They witnessed the Sun Moon Empire lose the ensuing war to Shrek Academy and explored Tang San’s rise to godhood, leaving Nian Hongchen convinced that his selfishness helped doom the Douluo Continent to generations of turmoil.

• Nian Hongchen stopped Tan Hongchen from asking Axiom more questions, and the siblings agreed to learn only about an original fate that could not be changed.
• Tan Hongchen asked what would have happened to the Sun Moon Continent if they had never met Axiom, and Axiom showed them its future unification as the Sun Moon Empire.
• The siblings watched the Sun Moon Continent collide with the Douluo Continent thousands of years later, beginning a war in which the Sun Moon Empire initially advanced before Shrek Academy rallied powerful Soul Masters against it.
• Tan Hongchen grew furious as the Sun Moon Empire lost to Douluo Soul Masters and Shrek Academy, whose warriors scorned Soul Tools while using Tang Sect hidden weapons.
• Nian Hongchen traced Tang San’s history, saw how he became a god, and judged him a hypocrite whose victory over Spirit Hall failed to bring lasting peace to the Douluo Continent.

Tan Hongchen and Nian Hongchen resolved to unite and strengthen the Sun Moon Continent after witnessing a future dominated by Tang San. Tan Hongchen left to pursue unification, while Nian Hongchen stayed to research Soul Tools and received technology from Prime Axiom that could convert energy into materials.

• Tan Hongchen witnessed Mingdu's destruction and Tang San's coercion of the Sun Moon Empire, and Axiom assured the siblings that this future could no longer happen.
• Tan Hongchen and Nian Hongchen recognized Axiom as their teacher and learned how to leave and return to the Primordial Realm.
• Tan Hongchen left to spread Soul Tools and unite the continent, while Nian Hongchen agreed to remain at the Hongchen Workshop and develop Soul Tools for him.
• Tan Hongchen asked Nian Hongchen to research a Soul Tool capable of manufacturing materials.
• Prime Axiom gave Nian Hongchen a blueprint for the Vidalion Loom, which could convert supplied energy into matter but could not be freely replicated.
• Nian Hongchen decided to ask her brother to spread word of Prime Axiom and establish faith in Him as a teacher and the embodiment of wisdom.

Luo Chen and his companions arrived in Skywater City, where Anivia revealed that the mysterious watcher was Prime Axiom, the priest overseeing his Fifth Trial. She explained that the trial required him to conquer the Sun Moon Continent, then set conditions for the Four Elements Academy portion of his Third Trial.

• Anivia asked Luo Chen not to bully the girls of Skywater Academy and required him to defeat the Four Elements Academy fair and square; Luo Chen asked her to clarify the rules.

Luo Chen agreed to Anivia’s God Trial, which required him to help the Four Elements Academy compete fairly and bring its people closer to Spirit Hall. Anivia also explained how the three demigods’ trials reflected their plans for the Four Elements Academy, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky Sect, leaving Luo Chen aware that the sects’ futures were being reshaped around his choices.

• Luo Chen met Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu at Skywater Academy after Anivia summoned them.

Luo Chen arranged for Skywater Academy to win the Soul Master Tournament, received Anivia’s method for creating True Ice, and asked her to test his strength.

• Luo Chen revealed Han Yue, Li Wu, and his robe before launching a surprise attack, but Anivia stopped his slash and sent him flying with a finger strike.
• Luo Chen asked why his illusion had failed against her, and Anivia explained that her Eternal True Ice purified things to their true state and surpassed Tian Meng’s illusion through its primordial nature.

Luo Chen tested his attacks against Anivia, whose true ice could seal both power and space, then unleashed his self-created Star Core Creation skill. After it blasted away the frozen sea, Anivia emerged unharmed, leaving Luo Chen and the others to face the scale of his power.

• Luo Chen found that Anivia could absorb and seal his ultimate attributes with true ice, rendering his attacks ineffective.
• Anivia sealed the surrounding space, making Luo Chen’s teleportation and spatial techniques too sluggish to use in combat.

• Anivia reappeared as an ice-blue phoenix, then transformed back into her human form before Luo Chen and the others.

Ornn and Volibear left Luo Chen to prepare for his spar with Anivia, while Volibear agreed to send the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the Soul Master Tournament. Bibi Dong arrived to watch, met the three girls, and reflected on her future role as the Void Empress as Luo Chen continued his trials.

• Ornn withdrew from the battle, and Volibear agreed to send the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's finest disciples to compete in the Soul Master Tournament before the clan war.
• Anivia asked for a minute to reinforce the space, while Luo Chen invited Bibi Dong to watch his spar with her.
