Chapter Summaries

Lin Rong entered the Life and Death Arena with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and nearly subdued it with the Love God Harp, but an outside force restored the tiger and let it escape. Lin Rong pursued it with Old Butler, identified its use of the Power of Time, and continued chasing it through the sky as his Soul Power ran low.

• Lin Rong used Spatial Swap to take Old Butler's place in the black hole, then entered the Life and Death Arena with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Inside the arena, Lin Rong's powers were mostly sealed, but he used the Love God Harp to convert the tiger's emotions into love and nearly pacified it.
• An unknown force carrying Evil Divine Power restored the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's awareness, and the tiger broke out of the arena with Lin Rong.
• Lin Rong and Old Butler caught up with the tiger, but it used the Power of Time to rewind events and escape with two suspected Divine Legacy inheritors.
• Lin Rong pursued the tiger through the sky on the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, confirmed the two women were inheritors of the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, and nearly exhausted his Soul Power.

Lin Rong and the Old Butler captured the Inheritor of the God of Goodness after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger escaped with the Inheritor of the God of Evil. By a mountain stream, the rescued girl revealed her Pure White Flower martial soul and reacted nervously when Lin Rong said she resembled the other inheritor.

• The Old Butler used Star Body to slow the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, allowing Lin Rong to bind the two inheritors with Star Attraction.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger escaped with the Inheritor of the God of Evil, who vanished in black light from a Balance Mark.
• Lin Rong examined the frightened Inheritor of the God of Goodness and found that she had no Soul Power.
• After sharing food by a mountain stream, the girl showed Lin Rong her Pure White Flower martial soul and explained that it had no Soul Power.
• Lin Rong suggested the other inheritor had a pure black flower, and the girl denied resembling her before anxiously apologizing.

Lin Rong learned how Yun Gui had been brought to him by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and considered recruiting her as an inheritor of the Divine Legacy of Goodness. With nowhere safe to return, Yun Gui agreed to travel with Lin Rong and Old Butler.

• Yun Gui told Lin Rong that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had brought her a black pearl, merged its white light into her chest, and carried her away with a noble young lady.
• Lin Rong realized that Yun Gui had been chosen as an inheritor of the Divine Legacy of Goodness, though she had not yet officially received the legacy.
• Yun Gui said she did not want to return to her village because the tiger might come back and endanger the villagers.
• Lin Rong signaled Old Butler, who offered to take Yun Gui along and help her find work in a flower shop in Heaven Dou City.
• Yun Gui accepted Old Butler's offer to travel with them.

After seven days of caring for Yun Gui, Lin Rong reached Thunderclap Canyon and entered alone to find the Thunder God's divine artifact. He claimed Thunder God's Hammer and left considering possible Divine Position Inheritances for his companions.

• Over seven days, the Old Butler helped Yun Gui regain her health and confidence as Lin Rong delayed the trip to Thunderclap Canyon.
• Lin Rong left the Old Butler and Yun Gui at the canyon entrance and flew inside to search for Dugu Bo's hidden cave.
• Lin Rong found Thunder God's Hammer in a concealed cave and used his Thunder God aura to claim and imprint it without resistance.
• Lin Rong tested Thunder God's Hammer by shattering a stone wall with a blast of lightning.
• Lin Rong considered the divine artifacts and inheritances available to his group, including a possible God of Light inheritance for the Old Butler.

Lin Rong returned to Heaven Dou City and learned that the Sea God Empire had ambushed Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall’s forces, destroying two hundred thousand troops and killing five Titled Douluo. With the city under martial law and the war situation worsening, he decided to stay home and cultivate until he reached rank seventy.

• Lin Rong noticed Heaven Dou City’s unusually empty streets and heavily armed patrols as he returned with Yun Gui.
• A letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect revealed that seven hundred-thousand-year Sea Spirit Beasts and the Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo had ambushed nine Titled Douluo, killing five.
• Lin Rong learned that the Sea God Empire had flooded the Fasnau Province military camp, killing all two hundred thousand soldiers, and had begun attacking Hagen Dasi Kingdom.
• Old Butler explained that Heaven Dou City was under martial law after Xue Ye feared an assassination attempt and ordered half the Royal Knights to guard the Imperial Palace.
• Lin Rong resolved to spend the next two months cultivating until he reached rank seventy, regardless of events outside.

After the Sea God Empire conquered the Hagen Dasi Kingdom, Bo Saixi halted plans for further expansion and ordered the Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars to find the Sea God's inheritor. She secretly prepared to search the mainland for the lost Heart of the Sea God and look for Tang Chen, starting with the sects and clans in Star Luo Empire territory.

• The Sea God Empire occupied the Hagen Dasi Kingdom, eliminating the buffer between its territory and the Star Luo Empire.
• Sea Dragon Douluo asked Bo Saixi which region the empire should conquer next, but she said its forces needed time to absorb their new territory.
• Bo Saixi reminded Sea Dragon Douluo and the other Pillar Guardian Douluo that finding the Sea God's inheritor was their most important task, then ordered them not to disturb her during her seclusion.
• After the others left, Bo Saixi revealed that she planned to search the mainland for the lost Heart of the Sea God and hoped to find Tang Chen along the way.
• Bo Saixi reviewed a list of mainland sects and clans and decided to begin her search in Star Luo Empire territory, avoiding Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall while they were on high alert.

Oscar went to Heaven Dou City's crowded street stalls to replace his broken Rice Ladle, while Ning Rongrong followed a mysterious Nine-Colored Silk Ribbon that seemed to be guiding her to its missing half. Their paths converged at a stall, where Ning Rongrong and Oscar both reached for what appeared to be the same item.

• After Heaven Dou City's lockdown ended, Oscar went out to buy a Rice Ladle and complained that Flender would not pay to replace it.
• Ning Rongrong recalled finding the Nine-Colored Silk Ribbon, which absorbed her soul power and could transform into weapons or a defensive barrier.
• Ning Fengzhi returned the ribbon to Ning Rongrong and speculated that it was a divine artifact connected to the meteors and the legend of becoming a god.
• When the ribbon began guiding her toward its missing half, Ning Rongrong entered the crowded street and followed its pull to a stall.
• Ning Rongrong asked how much a half piece of silk was, then recognized that Oscar was asking about the same Rice Ladle.

Lin Rong learned that Oscar and Ning Rongrong had encountered the Divine Legacies of the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess, bringing them together and strengthening the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He continued cultivating toward rank seventy and planned to use their engagement banquet as an opportunity to subdue the sect.

• Old Butler reported that Oscar had met Ning Rongrong after the Shadow Guard followed him to Heaven Dou City's stall street, where they bought a rice ladle and nine-colored silk.
• Lin Rong reasoned that Oscar and Ning Rongrong were likely to inherit the God of Food's and Nine-Colored Goddess's Divine Legacies, and that Ning Fengzhi would support their union for the sect's sake.
• Lin Rong continued his secluded cultivation, nearing rank seventy and planning to condense his Lifebound Spirit Ring with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect announced that its Young Sect Leader and a young genius soul master would hold an engagement banquet in one month, and Lin Rong planned to attend after his breakthrough.

Lin Rong used Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to break through to level seventy and awaken his lifebound spirit ring. He ended with seven rings, including a three-hundred-thousand-year red ring, and reached Soul Power Level seventy-one.

• Lin Rong prepared Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, then had Xiao Qing seal off the Banyan Forest.
• Lin Rong and Xiao Qing consumed the complementary herbs while Lin Rong circulated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture and his divinity devoured the Love God Divine Power.
• The medicinal energy refined by Lin Rong gathered around the Nine Bend Vine Dragon and formed a Lifebound Spirit Ring with three faint golden patterns, marking an age of three hundred thousand years.
• Lin Rong used the remaining energy to raise the ages of his first four spirit rings, leaving him with six black rings and one red ring.
• Lin Rong sensed that his Soul Power Level had reached seventy-one and concluded that the herbs' energy had gone toward strengthening his spirit rings rather than raising his level further.

The Auspicious Golden Dragon grew stronger after Lin Rong condensed his Lifebound Spirit Ring, cutting off the Sea God’s connection to Douluo Planet. In Sea God City, Ji Xiang treated a patient and learned from Electrolux that the surge of destiny came from the person he was destined to meet, while Ji Xiang neared rank thirty.

• Lin Rong’s Lifebound Spirit Ring caused the Power of Destiny flowing into the Auspicious Golden Dragon to surge, making its body more solid.
• The Auspicious Golden Dragon’s strengthening completely blocked the Sea God from contacting Douluo Planet.
• Ji Xiang treated a wounded man in his clinic and accepted vegetables as payment.
• Electrolux told Ji Xiang that a powerful surge of Power of Destiny came from the same source as the destiny that had drawn him to the planet, and that Ji Xiang would eventually meet the person behind it.
• Ji Xiang asked why he could inherit the God of Light Divine Position despite his Martial Soul, and Electrolux explained that his Heart of Light made him compatible.
• Ji Xiang told Electrolux he had reached rank twenty-nine by absorbing purified Death Force and hoped to obtain his third soul ring after reaching rank thirty.

Lin Rong fused his bloodline with Divinity, overcame his Heart Tribulation, and advanced to the third realm of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, gaining the ability Conversion. After assessing the loyalty of those around him, he resolved to put pressure on Shi Nian, whose loyalty was especially low.

• Electrolux told Ji Xiang that they would travel to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a thousand-year soul beast, leaving Ji Xiang troubled by the Sea God's role in provoking war.
• Lin Rong completed the fusion of his bloodline and Divinity, gaining Azure Divine Power and his first true divine sense.
• Lin Rong overcame his Heart Tribulation and broke through to the Marrow Cleansing Scripture's third great realm, Manifesting and Saving All Beings.
• Lin Rong gained Conversion, an ability that gradually magnified others' loyalty without harming their potential and could restrain ghosts.
• Lin Rong sensed that Old Butler was most loyal to him, while Yun Gui's loyalty was unexpectedly high and Shi Nian's was far below the passing line.
• Lin Rong decided to give Shi Nian external stimulation because Conversion worked too slowly.

Lin Rong discussed his Divinity, plans for soul rings and soul bones, and preparations for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s engagement banquet. He learned Oscar had joined the sect as a live-in son-in-law and that Shrek Academy had accepted the loss of Oscar and Shao Xin in exchange for funding and recognition.

• Lin Rong reassured Old Butler that his changed bearing came from mastering the Divinity fused with his bloodline, then ordered Meng Shu to return and prepare to absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit’s spirit ring.
• Lin Rong explained that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng had formed soul bones in both his arms, and Old Butler examined them to confirm it.
• Old Butler showed Lin Rong the betrothal gift list for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s engagement banquet, and Lin Rong left the choices to him.
• Old Butler reported that Oscar had left Shrek Academy to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and that Shao Xin had joined him there.
• Old Butler said Shrek Academy had received substantial funding and public recognition, while Flender had outwardly approved of the arrangement.

Lin Rong encountered Tang San at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect castle and mocked his lack of growth, while Tang San concealed his anger. At the engagement banquet, a marriage discussion exposed Tang San’s unexpected reaction to the idea of someone in his heart, but he rejected marriage and vowed to focus on cultivation.

• Lin Rong greeted Tang San outside the castle and taunted him, while Tang San restrained his anger because Lin Rong’s Old Butler was a Titled Douluo.
• Lin Rong sensed that Tang San had consumed two powders of Seven-Colored Splendor and noted that he had reached rank thirty-eight at age twelve.
• Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke arrived with Xue Xing and Xue Beng, and Xue Qinghe invited Lin Rong and Tang San to enter together.
• Xue Xing raised the subject of marriage, and Lin Rong declined for himself while suggesting that Xue Ke could be a match for Tang San.
• Xue Xing said Xue Ke preferred handsome men and offered to introduce Tang San to other noblewomen, but Tang San refused and declared that he would not marry before achieving cultivation success.

At the castle gathering, Tang San reacted with hostility to Salas’s arrival, unaware that Salas had already been demoted and made to take responsibility for Spirit Hall’s losses. Lin Rong learned about Salas’s dismissal, then spoke privately with Ye Wenxin, who asked whether the meteor shower was connected to the gods.

• Xue Beng noticed the approaching Spirit Hall carriage, and Xue Xing urged the group inside before it arrived.
• Tang San recognized Salas, restrained his anger, and entered the castle with Tailong.
• Old Butler told Lin Rong that Salas had been stripped of his Platinum Bishop status and demoted to Red Cardinal to take the blame for Spirit Hall losing five Titled Douluo.
• Lin Rong joined Ye Wenxin in a quiet corner and learned that Ye had reached the seventh layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and opened two of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
• Ye Wenxin privately asked Lin Rong whether the meteor shower was connected to the gods, hoping it might relate to lifting the Nine-Hearted Begonia curse.

Lin Rong revealed that he had a Love God Legacy suited to the Ye Family’s Nine-Star Begonia martial soul and explained what it would take to earn its recognition. Ye Wenxin learned that either he or his daughter, Ye Lingling, might qualify, but neither was certain to meet both requirements.

• Lin Rong told Ye Wenxin that he possessed spare Divine Legacies and had one compatible with the Ye Family’s Nine-Star Begonia martial soul.
• Guests speculated about Lin Rong and Ye Wenxin, stirring painful thoughts of lost parental affection in Tang San and Qian Renxue.
• Lin Rong identified the legacy as the Love God Legacy, contained in the lyre Moonlight Love, and said candidates needed cultivation aptitude and lyre skill.
• Ye Wenxin realized that his stronger cultivation talent and Ye Lingling’s superior lyre attainment gave each of them a different advantage.

Lin Rong reunited with his maternal grandfather, Du Qianyuan, and Zhi Ming at a gathering, where Du Qianyuan teased him about his mother’s past and urged him to find a sweetheart. Ye Wenxin realized Lin Rong had not told the two families about his plan to seize the Heaven Dou throne, while Tang San sat alone in a pavilion, shunned by the other guests.

• Du Qianyuan and Zhi Ming joined Lin Rong, and Du Qianyuan affectionately complained that Lin Rong rarely visited the Du Family.
• Du Qianyuan and Zhi Ming joked with Ye Wenxin about Ye Wenxin’s past feelings for Yu Yin and how the Ye Family’s inherited martial soul had shaped her marriage.
• Du Qianyuan urged Lin Rong to think about marriage, but Lin Rong said he had his own plans and playfully tugged his grandfather’s beard.
• Ye Wenxin inferred that Lin Rong had kept his plan to seize the Heaven Dou Imperial Throne from Du Qianyuan and Zhi Ming to reduce the risk of exposure.
• Ye Wenxin noticed that Tang San and his follower were the only people in another part of the garden without female companions, as guests avoided Tang San amid strained relations between the Tang Sect and the Royal Family.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar held their engagement ceremony at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, exchanging pink pearl rings before their guests. Tang San watched them and felt a mysterious anger he could only suppress with the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

• Ning Fengzhi welcomed the guests to his daughter's engagement banquet as Oscar and Ning Rongrong emerged dressed like the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess.
• Oscar slipped a pink pearl ring onto Ning Rongrong's right middle finger, and Ning Rongrong placed a matching ring on Oscar's left middle finger.
• The guests blessed the engaged couple after their exchange of rings.
• Tang San felt inexplicably furious watching Oscar and Ning Rongrong, then circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to calm himself.

At Ning Rongrong and Oscar's engagement banquet, Lin Rong sensed a fleeting aura of greed and wondered whether Tang San or Qian Renxue might be tied to the God of Greed. The guests presented congratulatory gifts, and the chapter ended as the Lin Family prepared to give its gift.

• Lin Rong sensed a faint aura of greed in the garden and considered Tang San and Qian Renxue as possible successors to the God of Greed.
• Ye Wenxin presented the Ye Family's flowers, including golden tulips, then told Du Qianyuan that Yu Yin had loved white lotuses.
• The Royal Family presented lavish treasures, and Xue Qinghe gave Ning Rongrong an ancient Illusion Music Box featuring statues of her and Oscar.
• Ning Rongrong infused the music box with Soul Power, revealing a starry-night illusion, then thanked Xue Qinghe and gave the box to Oscar.
• When it was the Lin Family's turn to present its gift, Old Butler went forward in Lin Rong's place.

Tang San presented Tailong’s awkwardly assembled gifts at Ning Rongrong and Oscar’s engagement banquet, where Lin Rong discovered that one gift was a Divine Artifact set. Lin Rong decided to give the Hate-Earth-No-Ring Set to Xu Pan and considered how to subdue the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tang San told Tailong to present the Tang Sect’s congratulatory gift, shifting responsibility to him.
• Tailong displayed the Strength Clan’s gifts, including old objects and a suit of armor.
• Ning Rongrong and Oscar graciously pretended the armor suited Oscar, while the guests recognized the awkward situation.
• Lin Rong identified the armor as the Hate-Earth-No-Ring Set, a Great Strength God Divine Artifact set.
• Lin Rong decided Xu Pan should receive the set and planned to obtain an Evil God Bead from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Lin Rong turned his thoughts to subduing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At Ning Rongrong’s engagement banquet, Laurence’s modest gift revealed Spirit Hall’s restrained stance toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After the guests left, Lin Rong confronted Ning Fengzhi about the debt he believed the sect owed him, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo responded with open hostility.

• Laurence presented Spirit Hall’s gifts, which were valuable but showed no particular sincerity, then left the banquet.
• Sword Douluo admitted he had secretly warned Laurence with sword energy, while Bone Douluo supported his action.
• After the banquet, Lin Rong stayed behind to speak privately with Ning Fengzhi.
• Lin Rong claimed that his help had enabled Ning Rongrong’s Nine-Colored Goddess inheritance and Oscar’s God of Food inheritance, and demanded to know how Ning Fengzhi would repay the favor.
• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo released their martial souls and Soul Rings and positioned themselves behind Ning Fengzhi, ready to attack Lin Rong.
