Chapter Summaries

A green-clad girl from the Xianzhou arrived in Spirit City and was chased by Spirit Hall patrols after failing to show identification. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan and his allies waited for the Star Dou Great Forest’s Soul Beasts to locate the Borisin, and Bi Ji discovered their hidden canyon and the Soul Beasts they were capturing for experiments.

• Lin Yuan returned to camp and told Qian Renxue that Di Tian had ordered the forest’s Soul Beasts to search for the Borisin.

• Bi Ji reported to Di Tian that Soul Beasts had found more than twenty Borisin in a concealed canyon southwest of the Lake of Life, where they were holding captured Soul Beasts beside metal frames and instruments.
• Di Tian ordered nearby Soul Beasts to withdraw and told Bi Ji to summon Lin Yuan and the Scarlet King to the canyon.

Lin Yuan and his companions found the Borisin camp where Soul Beasts were being captured and dissected, then launched an assault. The chapter ended as Lin Yuan drew the Imperial Bow against Wuge'er and the surrounded camp.

Lin Yuan and his allies attacked Ural’s Borisin camp, overpowering its warriors despite their Moon Rage and rapid healing. They captured Ural alive and prepared to secure the camp and question him.

• Di Tian ambushed Ural with Dragon God Claw, blasting him through buildings as Lin Yuan ordered the attack.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei used the Two Extremes Stillness Domain to restrain the Borisin while Lin Yuan’s arrows wounded them.

• Lin Yuan shot Ural in the knee, and Qian Renxue, Gui Mei, and Xiong Jun pinned and bound him.
• Lin Yuan ordered his allies to seal the camp and leave its contents untouched, then told them to take Ural back for questioning.

After the group captured Ural, Lin Yuan warned that the Borisin’s leader, Hoolay, could recover from otherwise fatal injuries and remained imprisoned by the Xianzhou. Ural predicted that Hoolay and more Borisin would reach the Douluo Continent, while Lin Yuan and Di Tian considered how the spatial rifts might bring both danger and new opportunities.

• Xiong Jun dismissed the defeated Borisin squad, but Lin Yuan warned him not to underestimate the race and described Hoolay’s extraordinary regenerative power.
• Ural threatened that Hoolay and more Borisin would cross the rift and enslave the people of the Douluo Continent, so Xiong Jun punched him unconscious.
• Di Tian worried that stronger Borisin might reach the continent, while Lin Yuan said the spatial rifts could also bring opportunities and new solutions.
• Lin Yuan said they should handle the present problems before speculating about what might emerge from the rifts, and Di Tian looked toward the sky with a changed perspective.

After returning to Spirit City with Ural and the Borisin camp’s recovered equipment and records, Lin Yuan and Qian Renxue found Qingque of the Divination Commission playing Celestial Jade with Qian Daoliu and the enshrined. Lin Yuan recognized her and demanded to know how she had reached the Douluo Continent.

• Lin Yuan urged Di Tian to consider the Soul Beast Clan’s future as spatial rifts brought the Douluo Continent into contact with the wider sea of stars, then left with his companions.
• Lin Yuan’s group traveled back to Spirit City and handed Ural over to the underground prison while Yue Guan and Gui Mei took the recovered Borisin materials to the Pope Hall.
• Lin Yuan and Qian Renxue entered the Worship Hall and discovered Qingque playing Celestial Jade with Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Guang Ling Douluo.
• Guang Ling explained that patrolling Soul Masters had found Qingque in Spirit City without identification, and she had said she came from the Xianzhou and the Divination Commission.
• Lin Yuan recognized Qingque and asked how she had gotten to the Douluo Continent.

Qingque recounted how she had inexplicably appeared on the Douluo Continent after leaving the Divination Commission and passed the time teaching Spirit Hall’s elders Celestial Jade. Lin Yuan recognized her and began to question what her arrival meant for the growing connection between the Douluo Continent and the sea of stars.

• Qingque described stepping out of the Divination Commission into an unfamiliar city, evading patrolling Soul Masters, and being caught by Guang Ling.
• Qingque explained that Qian Daoliu and the other Enshrined had questioned her about the Xianzhou before she taught them to play Celestial Jade.
• Qian Renxue asked Lin Yuan to summarize Qingque’s story, and Lin Yuan confirmed that she was the genuine Qingque.
• Lin Yuan noted that Qingque’s unplanned arrival, following the Borisin’s passage to the Douluo Continent, suggested the connection between worlds was more complicated than they had thought.
• Lin Yuan told Qingque that the tiles could wait because he needed to talk with her, and Qingque worried that she would be stuck working overtime.

After Qingque revealed she knew little about the sea of stars beyond Celestial Jade, Lin Yuan learned that Ural had transmitted Spirit World's coordinates and intelligence to the Borisin before his capture. Spirit Hall's leaders gathered to plan for the threat, but their meeting was interrupted by news of a gigantic metal object hovering over Spirit City.

• Lin Yuan questioned Qingque about the Borisin and the sea of stars, but she admitted she knew little beyond how to play Celestial Jade.

• A security Soul Master interrupted the meeting to report that a gigantic metal monster had appeared above Spirit City.

The Astral Express arrived above Spirit City, prompting Qian Daoliu and the Enshrined to surround it until Lin Yuan identified its crew as the Nameless and urged them not to attack. Qingque recognized the train, leaving Lin Yuan wondering why visitors from the stars kept appearing on Douluo Continent.

• The Astral Express appeared above Spirit City, and March 7th, Stelle, Dan Heng, and Himeko realized they had reached an unknown planet.
• Qian Daoliu and the Enshrined surrounded the train and ordered its occupants to identify themselves and submit to inspection.

• Lin Yuan rushed out of the Worship Hall and told Qian Daoliu that the train was the Astral Express and its crew were not enemies.
• Qingque saw the train, recognized it as the Astral Express, and asked Lin Yuan how it had arrived too.

Spirit Hall and the Astral Express established a cautious exchange after Lin Yuan explained that unstable spatial rifts had brought Qingque, the Express, and the Borisin to Douluo Continent. The chapter ended as new rifts began opening across distant regions of the sea of stars, threatening to bring still more outsiders to the continent.

After the Astral Express and Spirit Hall agreed to cooperate, Lin Yuan took March 7th, Stelle, and Dan Heng to explore Spirit City and explained the continent’s Soul Master system.

Meanwhile, the Interastral Peace Corporation detected expanding spatial rifts, and Fu Xuan traced Qingque to the other side of one.

• Dan Heng sensed the Hunt's presence in Lin Yuan's Imperial Bow and questioned whether Lin Yuan was truly from the Douluo Continent, but Lin Yuan left his origins unexplained.

• The Corporation's advance team questioned Old Li in Stone Village and learned that the local world was the Heaven Dou Empire, where people used Martial Souls and Soul Power.

• Fu Xuan followed a divination trail through a separate spatial fissure, confirming that Qingque was alive and apparently comfortable.
• Fu Xuan and the Cloud Knights traveled along busy roads until they reached a vast city where her divination pointed directly to Qingque.

Qingque’s tile game with Lin Yuan, March 7th, and Stelle ended when the Great Enshrined summoned them to the Pope Hall, where Spirit Hall and the Xianzhou Alliance agreed on preliminary cooperation. Qingque arrived to find Fu Xuan waiting and realized she had been caught slacking off.

• Acheron stepped through the rift, and the gods found that she seemed to have neither Soul Power nor divine power.
